The attack was right on target. The Python let out a shrill hiss, its body writhing wildly as dense green blood spurted from a deep wound on its jaw.Zhi Sang didn't waste that moment. He attacked again, this time aiming for the snake's neck which was starting to weaken.Slash!Kach!with combined attacks, they finally brought down the beast."Good job," said Zhi Hao as he approached, his voice still cold but full of confidence. "You two are starting to understand the importance of coordination. But remember, always think about your next step before acting."Zhi Sang breathed a sigh of relief while smiling proudly. "Thank you for the guidance, Brother Hao."Zhi Chan added, "Without your guidance, we might have been overwhelmed. I will be braver in the next fight."Zhi Hao nodded slightly. "Good. This Secret Realm is full of much greater dangers. Never let your guard down. We're moving."Zhi Hao raised his hand suddenly, signaling the group to stop. His gaze was sharp, staring at the b
Trap in the Dark ValleyDark Valley, as the name suggests, is filled with dense fog and shadows that shift between the rocks. The sound of the wind blowing like a whisper of death adds to the tense atmosphere. Wang Han and Wang Hui stood at the edge of the valley, observing from a distance.“That's there, the entrance,” whispered Wang Hui while pointing at a large rock crevice that was almost hidden behind the bushes. The faint light of ancient symbols shone faintly on the door.Wang Han nodded. "We won't go in. These Goblins are known to be aggressive and smart. we just need to bring Zhi Hao here. They'll take care of the rest.""Brother Han," Wang Hui smiled slightly. "Are you sure he won't suspect us?"Wang Han grinned. "He's arrogant, too confident in his strength once we give him a reason to target the Lightning Relic, he'll forget all about it. Besides, we will play the victim. There is nothing more convincing than a desperate person."They left the location, ensuring that every
Zhi Hao led the attack with incredible speed, his sword flashing with deadly lightning ripples. "Lightning Sword Technique - Thunder Rain!" he shouted, swinging his sword at three Goblins at once. Lightning struck their bodies, leaving them thrown, burned, and unable to move anymore.However, the fighting spirit didn't just burn Zhi Hao. Zhi Chan, stimulated by his brother's action, spun his spear nimbly. "Wind Spear Technique – Storm Spin!" he shouted. A strong wind was created from the spin of his spear, hitting the two approaching Goblins, sending them crashing into the rocks.Zhi Sang on the other hand moved decisively. "Stone Sword Technique – Layered Waves!" He struck the ground with his sword, creating a wave of energy that traveled towards the Goblins, hitting several at once. The sound of thunder and the clink of weapons echoed each other, adding to the tension of the battle."Don't fall behind, Zhi Lan!" shouted Zhi Sang while slashing a Goblin who was trying to attack him f
The Goblin leader tried to hide his unease with a chuckle. "An interesting weapon, but it won't be enough to defeat me!" He dashed forward, swinging his crystal staff with full force, trying to attack before Zhi Hao could launch an attack.However, Zhi Hao moved faster. With one light swing from Qianlong, a wave of sharp black energy shot towards the Goblin leader, cutting through the opponent's attack before it reached Zhi Hao. The Goblin Leader staggered, his eyes widening as he felt a small wound begin to open in his chest."Impossible..." whispered the Goblin leader, his voice shaking. "I've never been hurt... in my own territory!"Zhi Hao smiled faintly. "That's just the beginning."The Goblin Leader growled, thick green blood dripping from the wound on his chest. "You'll regret incurring my wrath, human!" he shouted, then stomped his crystal staff on the ground. The dark red energy spread rapidly, creating a thick protective layer around his body.But Zhi Hao did not show any tr
In front of the Secret Realm's entrance, a tense atmosphere was palpable in the air. The three Clan Patriarchs—Patriarch Lin, Patriarch Wang, and Patriarch Zhi—stood side by side, but there was obvious tension between them. Mayor Cao stood in their midst, accompanied by several important city officials and heavily armed guards.Patriarch Lin folded his arms with a cold expression. "It's more than the appointed time. They should be out by now."patriarch Wang added in a tone full of confidence. "I'm sure the Wang Clan's children won't disappoint. Wang Han and Wang Hui are the best."Patriarch Zhi, who was standing quietly, just stared at the entrance with sharp eyes. "We'll see who comes backThis Secret Realm is full of danger, and only the strongest will survive."Mayor Cao raised his hands, asking them to calm down. "Gentlemen Patriarchs, we just need to wait a little longer. The Secret Realm has strict rules. Once the time is up, the portal will force everyone out. if something does
Wang Xiang glanced at Wang Sani, then patted his shoulder gently. "We're not acting recklessly, San. His strength has already exceeded our expectations. Even though I'm in the same realm as him, I can't guarantee victory in the duel if we attack now, it will only bring us destruction.""Then, what is the plan, Patriarch?" Wang Sani asked, although his tone was still filled with impatience.Wang Xiang smiled faintly, a smile full of strategy. "We need help from stronger alliesWang clan is no small force, and we have ties with the Purple Heaven Sect, one of the strongest affiliated sects. I will send a message to their Elders for help."The other clan members nodded, although some of them looked doubtful. Wang Xiang continued, his voice firm. "You have to understand. In this battle, we are not only facing Zhi Hao, but also the Zhi Clan which is starting to rise with the Purple Heaven Sect on our side. We can not only destroy Zhi Hao, but also humiliate the Zhi Clan in front of everyone.
A man in a black robe walked into the room, bowing respectfully. "Teacher, do you have any orders for us?"Nong Bai turned his head, his eyes narrowed. "Summon our core disciples. Prepare battle formations. We will help the Lin Clan… but with conditions. the promised treasure must be ours."The man nodded, then went to carry out the order. Nong Bai looked out the window again, his cold grin widening even more.“Zhi Hao… I wonder how strong the ‘Lightning Sword’ they are so proud of isIf you're that great, let's see if you can survive the Dark Shadow Sect."*Zhi Clan ResidenceMeanwhile, at the Zhi Clan residence, Zhi Hao sat in the backyard with Zhi Chan and Zhi Sang. They were discussing the events in the Secret Realm and their impact on the relations between the clans."Brother Hao," said Zhi Chan, "after what happened, you believe the Lin Clan or Wang Clan will just stop like that? They must be planning something."Zhi Hao smiled faintly. "Of course they won't stop. But this is ac
Zhi Hao was annoyed and tired. Every day, from dawn to dusk, he swung his sword thousands of times in his spacious backyard, hoping that there would be progress in his abilities. However, each time, all he felt was deep fatigue and mounting frustration. His body was sweaty, his muscles tensed, but his skills remained in the same place. In the silence of the night, Zhi Hao sat pensively by the pool. The reflection of his face in the pool water showed a look of deep disappointment. "Being the first son should bring blessings, but mewill only be a source of disappointment," he muttered softly. Shame haunted every corner of his mind, especially when he remembered the ridicule and insults he often received because he was considered weak. Zhi Hao took a deep breath, trying to calm the chaos in his heart. "Will my life continue like this, trapped in helplessness with no hope of growth?" he asked himself. He knew his family, especially his father, expected more from him. In his despair, Zh
