The explosion from the Lightning Sword Technique: Wrath of the Gods devastated the guardian creatures of the ruins. The blue light of the attack illuminated the dark corridor, casting massive, shifting shadows on the trembling walls.

"Impressive, Young Master!" Black 4 exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with admiration despite his heavy breaths after the earlier battle.

The creatures were scattered. Some of the giant spider-like bodies were cleaved in two, while others burned with lingering electric energy crackling in the air. The rustling sounds gradually faded, leaving an eerie silence.

Yet, Zhi Hao didn’t lower his sword. “Don’t let your guard down,” he said firmly. “This isn’t over yet.”

Black 3 and Black 4 quickly took defensive positions around Ling Xue, who was still analyzing the carvings on the walls.

“Young Master is right,” Ling Xue murmured, her expression grave. “The energy protecting this place is still active. What we just faced was only the first layer of the ruins’ guardi

    “There is a way,” Ling Xue finally said. “According to this text, the Dark Eye can only be destroyed by pure energy that directly opposes it. But the process is far from simple. The altar has protective mechanisms. If we attack it directly, the Abyss energy will retaliate with tremendous force.”“So, we need a plan,” Zhi Hao said firmly. “How do we neutralize the mechanism?”Ling Xue pointed to four massive pillars surrounding the altar. “The symbols on these pillars are the key. We need to activate them first to weaken the Dark Eye’s protection. Only then can we attack it directly.”“How long will it take you to activate the symbols?” Zhi Hao asked.“Each pillar requires a different chant,” Ling Xue replied. “I can do it in five minutes per pillar, but I’ll need full protection.”Zhi Hao nodded. “Black 3, Black 4, protect Ling Xue while she works. I’ll stand guard in the center and ensure nothing gets close to the altar.”“Understood,” Black 3 and Black 4 responded in unison.They mo

    "You chose to die with bravery. I suppose that's commendable," Zhao Feng said, raising his hand now brimming with crimson energy.Zhi Hao smirked faintly. "Maybe you're strong, but never underestimate someone fighting for what they hold dear."The lightning energy surrounding Zhi Hao suddenly surged, fiercer and more violent than before. His Lightning Sword Technique began to show signs of evolution, as if Zhao Feng's overwhelming pressure pushed him beyond his limits."Lightning Sword Technique – Wrath of Heaven!" Zhi Hao leaped high, slashing with all his might, unleashing a wave of lightning that engulfed the entire hall.Zhao Feng stood arrogantly, watching Zhi Hao's raging storm with a look of disdain. "You might seem brilliant in the Nine Star Earth Realm, but do you know? When I reached that level, you weren't even born yet. I've crushed countless warriors far stronger than you."Zhi Hao gripped his sword tighter, the sparks around him intensifying. "Enough talk. If you're trul

    Zhao Feng's cold laughter echoed in the air, shaking the resolve of Black 3, Black 4, and Ling Xue. The red aura emanating from him was overwhelming, enveloping the area with a suffocating pressure. The flaming disc in his hand spun slowly, radiating a heat so intense it could melt the will of anyone nearby."Don’t think you can destroy our hope so easily!" Black 3 gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stand against the despair coursing through him.Black 4 positioned himself in front of Ling Xue, shielding her with his body. "If the Young Master truly has fallen, we won’t go down without a fight!"Zhao Feng smirked mockingly. "Oh? And what can you possibly do? I am in the Realm of the Earth Star King, Stage Seven, while you are mere worms trying to defy a dragon."With a single gesture, the flaming disc hurtled toward them, releasing a wave of heat that shattered massive boulders in its path. Black 4 raised his weapon to block the attack.Boom!The massive explosion flung Black 4 sev

    After hours of trudging through the freezing snow, Ling Xue realized Zhi Hao could barely hold on any longer. She turned to Black 4 and pointed toward a direction. "Beyond that hill, there’s a safe cave."It took significant effort, but they eventually reached the cave. The cold intensified, with the snow growing thicker, making their earlier journey even more grueling.“Lay him here!” Ling Xue cleared a slightly damp patch of ground.Black 3 and Black 4 quickly carried Zhi Hao to the spot Ling Xue indicated. They carefully placed him on a flat rock, examining his battered condition anxiously. His injuries were severe, and his energy aura was so faint it was nearly imperceptible.Ling Xue knelt beside him, pulling out various herbs and salves from a small pouch she carried. Skillfully, she began cleaning Zhi Hao's wounds and applying the ointments to the most critical areas.“He really pushed himself beyond his limits,” Ling Xue muttered, biting her lip to hold back tears.Black 4 sto

    Suddenly, the atmosphere shifted. In that instant, lightning energy surged quickly, emerging from deep within the cave.Swoosh!A bright blue light filled the area, splitting the darkness of the snowy night. The immense energy aura caused the ground to tremble, making the figure in the black cloak pause and look toward the cave."What is this?" The Third Pillar of the Abyss Army frowned. The energy just released from the cave felt powerful and familiar to him.Inside the cave, Zhi Hao, who had been lying weakly, now shone with a thunderous glow. His wounds were slowly closing, and the aura that had almost vanished was recovering at an incredible speed. Ling Xue, standing beside him, was shocked by this sudden change."Zhi Hao..." she whispered softly, her eyes widening in disbelief.Suddenly, Zhi Hao opened his eyes. His gaze now shone with blue lightning, radiating an unmatched power. He slowly rose, though his body still appeared somewhat weak.Of course, Ling Xue had no idea about

    The 3rd Pillar staggered backward, feeling the aftermath of the attack that not only scorched his body but also drained the dark energy he had. His face grew serious. "You're stronger than I thought, kid."Zhi Hao smiled coldly, unfazed. "Your strength won't be enough. I'll end this now."With a swift movement, Zhi Hao slammed both hands into the ground. Lightning erupted from the earth as if welcoming him, climbing into the air, creating towering pillars of lightning that struck the 3rd Pillar with tremendous force. Each pillar was like a heavenly bolt, crashing in all directions, trapping the 3rd Pillar inside."This is impossible!" the 3rd Pillar shouted, his body swaying, trying to resist, but the power of the lightning was too overwhelming. His body was rocked, with no place left to escape.The 3rd Pillar finally collapsed to the ground, thrown down by the devastating strike. His body was burned, the dark aura that usually shielded him now dimmed, defeated by the pure and unstopp

    After the long days spent in the Frozen Lands, they finally felt the simple comfort of a new city they had reached. The city’s atmosphere brought a refreshing change for all of them—the soft glow of streetlights, the enticing aroma of food from the stalls, and the distant laughter of the locals.They decided to stop at a small inn located in the heart of the city. The inn had a cozy dining area, furnished with simple wooden tables and a warm hearth burning in the corner. Black 3, usually reserved during their travels, suddenly revealed a different side of himself.“Ah, it feels so good to finally eat something warm again,” he exclaimed enthusiastically, devouring a large bowl of meat soup served before him. His face lit up like a child who had just received a new toy.Zhi Hao merely smiled faintly, savoring the rare moment of calm. He picked up his own bowl of soup and drank it slowly, letting its warmth flow through his still-weary body.But Black 4, ever disciplined, couldn’t resist

    Black 3 and Black 4 returned to the inn swiftly, ensuring they didn’t attract any attention. The quiet night amplified the sound of their footsteps, while the warm lights shining through the inn’s windows appeared like a small beacon amidst the cold air.When they reached Zhi Hao’s room, Black 4 knocked on the door in a specific rhythm—an agreed signal for safety. Soft footsteps approached before the door opened. Ling Xue stood there, her gaze sharp with vigilance.“We’ve obtained information,” Black 4 said in a low voice.Ling Xue gestured for them to enter. Inside, Zhi Hao was seated near a small table with a rough map of the city spread out before him. His expression was calm but focused as he looked at them.“Report,” Zhi Hao commanded briefly.Black 4 stepped forward, producing the rolled-up map they had acquired from the woman at the Silk Pavilion and laying it on the table. “We’ve secured a more detailed map of the mainlands. This will help us understand the surrounding areas,

If I let you live any longer, this world will be destroyed sooner than it should be.”Ham Ra scoffed and raised his hands. Dense black energy enveloped his body, forming a shadowy armor that seemed fused with his soul.“I want to see if you’re still as strong as before, Qianlong Sword.”BOOM!Ham Ra shot forward with speed almost impossible to track.But—CLANK!His attack was stopped effortlessly by a single finger from Qianlong.Ham Ra's eyes widened. “What—?!”Before he could react, Qianlong had already moved.DUARRR!A golden energy wave exploded from his body, forcing Ham Ra back dozens of steps.Qianlong raised his

    Silence.Xuan Ji, Rin, and Tie Shan stood in a triangular formation, surrounding Zhi Hao from three directions. Even though they had just witnessed their Dark Hand Technique being shattered effortlessly, they were not fools who would retreat without a fight."Let's finish this together!" Xuan Ji shouted.Without hesitation, the three of them charged at once.BOOM!Tie Shan swung his giant sword from the front, creating a shockwave that shattered the ground around him.At the same time, Rin moved like a shadow, circling to Zhi Hao's left with incredible speed, her dagger aimed at his vital points.Meanwhile, Xuan Ji stayed at the back, forming a complex seal with his hands before unleashing the Deadly Shadow Technique—a dark energy attack capable of paralyzing an opponent instantly.Their coordination was flawless.There was no escape.But Zhi Hao simply stood still.Until—WHOOSH!In a fraction of a second before their attacks landed, Zhi Hao vanished.Tie Shan's eyes widened. “What—?

Tonight, I’ll show you true strength!”In an instant, he lunged forward, his speed defying his massive build. The colossal sword sliced through the air, sending a violent gust that shook the ground.BOOM!The attack struck the earth with devastating force, creating a massive crater. But—Zhi Hao had vanished.Tie Shan’s eyes widened. “What—?”WHOOSH!Before he could react, a shadow flashed behind him. A chilling sensation crept up his spine.SLASH!Blood sprayed from his arm.

    Black 4 dropped to one knee, his sword embedded in the ground as his only support. His breaths were ragged, wounds multiplying across his body. Blood dripped onto the earth, mixing with dust and scattered leaves.Around him, enemies still stood. Some were wounded, some had fallen, but those remaining still far outnumbered what he could handle in his current state.The man in the purple robe stepped forward, his face filled with satisfaction. “Enough. You’ve lasted longer than I expected. But this is the end.”He raised his hand, giving the final signal. Several men prepared to lunge, their weapons gleaming under the moonlight.Black 4 exhaled. Was this really the end?But before the attack could land—WHOOSH!A shadow streaked through the air. A flash of silver sliced through the darkness, and in an instant—SLASH!Two men fell silently, blood spraying from their wounds.The purple-robed man’s eyes widened. “What—?”The figure landed in front of Black 4, standing tall with an aura tha

    Explosions echoed through the forest. Trees trembled, leaves scattered, and the ground quaked from the overwhelming clash of energy.Black 4 stood amidst the swirling dust, his sword still vibrating from the force of his last attack. His breathing was slightly labored, but his eyes burned with determination. In front of him, the man in the purple robe remained standing, only having taken a slight step back.The man smirked. "You're strong. But... are you strong enough to survive alone?"Black 4 said nothing. He already knew the answer—because he truly was alone.Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Zhi Hao sat silently in his headquarters. Ling Xue and Black 3 stood nearby, awaiting his orders. One thing was clear—no allies were coming to their aid.Ling Xue sighed. "They're all just watching."Black 3 clenched his fists. "Cowards. They're waiting until one side weakens before deciding who to support."Zhi Hao closed his eyes briefly, then gave a faint smile. "It doesn't matter.

    Night descended with a tense silence. The air felt heavier than usual, as if carrying an ominous premonition lurking within the darkness.Standing on his balcony, Zhi Hao gazed at the dimly shining moon. His sharp eyes reflected the swirling thoughts in his mind.Black 3 appeared behind him, speaking in a low voice. "They've made their move."Zhi Hao nodded slowly. "As expected. After today's incident in the arena, they can no longer afford to wait."Black 3 handed him a small piece of paper. "A message from Ling Xue. She has traced the individuals targeting the Heaven-Shattering Codex. They’ve entered the city in small groups, scattering to avoid drawing attention."Zhi Hao read the message and then folded it back. "They're careful, but they've overlooked one thing."Black 3 raised an eyebrow. "What's that?"Elsewhere, in a secluded inn at the city's outskirts, a group of figures sat around a wooden table. The flickering lantern light cast shifting shadows on the walls.At the center

    The midday sky stretched vast, thin clouds drifting lazily, while below, the Zhi family’s training arena bustled with dozens of people practicing. Some engaged in sparring duels, while others focused on breathing techniques to enhance their energy.Yet, amidst the seemingly ordinary atmosphere, tension slowly crept in.In the main stands, Zhi Hao sat calmly, accompanied by Black 3 and several elders. He observed the ongoing duels with a neutral expression, but his mind was working swiftly.“Any movements?” he asked quietly.Black 3 nodded. “Ling Xue successfully thwarted their kidnapping attempt last night. Black 4 also reported an encounter with a group of assassins at the border before managing to escape.”Zhi Hao tapped his chair’s armrest with his fingers, his gaze sharp. “They’re getting bolder.”Before Black 3 could respond, a loud noise suddenly echoed from the center of the arena.Boom!The ground trembled as one of the disciples was sent flying, landing harshly after being st

    The sharp sound of swords slicing through the air echoed in the dark forest. The man in the purple robe felt a chilling presence as Black 4's blade neared his neck.However, just before the sword could strike, the robed man's body suddenly dissolved into shadows and vanished.Srak!Black 4’s blade sliced through nothing but empty air."Shadow techniques as well?!"Before he could react, a whisper came from behind him."You're fast, but I'm far more accustomed to the darkness."Black 4 immediately leaped forward, dodging a counterattack that nearly pierced his back. He twisted midair, landed on a tree trunk, and propelled himself back to the ground in a defensive stance.From within the shadows, the robed figure emerged once more, his eyes gleaming with intrigue."You're more interesting than I expected. I thought Shadow Fang only had ordinary assassins, but it seems I was mistaken."Black 4 remained silent, his eyes scanning for an opening.The man smirked. "Unfortunately, I don't hav

    Deep within the dark forest, Black 4 stood still, his sharp eyes scanning the hooded figures now surrounding him. Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the trees, glinting off the blade of his slowly unsheathed sword."You think you can stop me?" His voice was low but carried immense pressure.One of the hooded figures stepped forward. "You don’t have to struggle. Give us information about Zhi Hao, and we will spare your life."Black 4 smirked coldly. "You think I would betray the Young Master?"Without warning, he lunged forward, his sword slicing through the darkness. Srak! A sharp sound echoed as one of the hooded figures fell before they could react.The others immediately sprang into action, drawing their weapons. Some wielded daggers, while others unleashed energy attacks from a distance.Black 4 dodged nimbly, leaping back before twisting in mid-air. His sword danced, reflecting the moonlight as he swiftly took down another opponent.But just as he prepared for the next strike
