The Red Bear, angry and full of confidence, directed his palm towards Liong Yun. With a swift movement, a shadow of a palm formed from fire surged towards the youth, blazing brightly in the air.The fire emanating from his palm spread rapidly, generating intense heat waves that affected the surrounding area more and more with the force of the fire.Liong Yun, realizing that conventional strength wouldn't withstand such an attack, immediately summoned the power of the Nirvana core within him.His body began to emit a dazzling, bright white light, rivaling the power of the fire filling the surrounding air. As it happened, the flames that were burning around suddenly extinguished, overcome by the greater power.The Red Bear was astonished by this sudden change. The confident strike of the Fire God suddenly vanished into thin air, having no effect on Liong Yun whatsoever.His face changed to an expression of clear surprise, evident to all who witnessed this battle.While the Red Bear was
"Hahaha, it's good that you know who I am, strange one! That means I don't have to get my hands dirty to kill you. You can just take your own life in front of me."The Fire God still did not know that the person wearing the cape was Liong Yun. If he knew, he would certainly not rashly dare to challenge the young man. The person who had once made him lose one of his hands still remained the only one to make him tremble, besides his senior brother.Liong Yun, still disguised behind his caping appearance, merely muttered. But that was enough to make the Fire God step back."The celestial dragon's roar!" shouted the Fire God.The Fire God recognized very well the technique of voice that Liong Yun was using. The Celestial Dragon's Roar is a voice technique containing supreme spiritual power. Very few people have mastered it. He himself hadn't reached that stage yet."Who is this strange person really?" muttered the Fire God as his fear started to emerge."Hmmm. It's better for you to choos
The Fire God smirked cynically before leaping into the air. His gaze was terrifying. He had no hesitation in unleashing all of his abilities. Trembling, he summoned the strongest core fire energy within him. Furthermore, to enhance his power, he swallowed three energy-boosting pills.The Fire God exerted his strongest core fire energy. The tremendous power of the fire energy immediately radiated within his body.With only one hand remaining, the Fire God swiftly manipulated the fire around him into deadly attacks. Liong Yun, unwilling to be outdone, employed the Nirvana Core Energy Technique. Brilliant white-yellow light radiated from his body, a sign that his mystical power had been perfected.The confrontation between these two beings was inevitable. Initially, the Fire God managed to match Liong Yun's attacks, even with astonishing strength. However, moments later, the Fire God started to be overwhelmed by a higher power."Who is this bastard, really? Why is his Nirvana Core Energy
"My devotion to my master will never waver. But to obey you in error, certainly if my master were alive, he would directly forbid it!" replied Giok Jung.The Mighty Hermit of Kayangan Island appeared enraged, ordering the master of Hong Island, clad in green, to attack.The thrilling battle commenced. The friction of powers sparked flames in the air emanating from the enemy's body. The Mighty Hermit of Kayangan Island glared with eyes full of anger and, with firm resolve, nodded to the Master of Hong Island in green, commanding him to attack.The Master of Hong Island, wielding true firepower, advanced with nimble movements. His steps were steady, brimming with confidence, as if he already knew the outcome of this battle beforehand. The radiance of his firepower intensified over time, enveloping the place in intense heat.Meanwhile, Giok Jung, with a sense of sorrow, prepared to face the enemy's onslaught. With a sharp gaze reflecting courage and determination, he confronted the Maste
Amidst the thrilling battle between Jade Jung and the Island Master of Hong Island and Liong Yun and the Sage of Heavenly Island, the situation was getting worse for Li Cheng and Liong Yun. They faced increasing pressure from their formidable opponents.Li Cheng, having watched the duel involving Jade Jung from afar, felt anxious seeing his father fighting on the opposing side. With a pounding heart, he stepped forward, wanting to aid Jade Jung against his own father.However, he was acutely aware of the impracticality of his intentions. Martial world confrontations had rules and ethics to be respected, and Li Cheng knew that unwarranted interference could become a subject of ridicule within the martial community.Dealing with those from the dark faction might have been preferable. However, the Sage of Heavenly Island was renowned for his noble actions and was highly respected within the white faction.Meanwhile, Liong Yun was deeply engaged in a fierce battle with the man in red atti
Boom!Liong Yun and Liong Chen charged at each other, exchanging powerful blows. At first glance, it seemed balanced, but in reality, Liong Chen was dominating the fight.Their battle grew more intense. Now Liong Yun began to feel the superiority of his opponent. He could no longer attack; he could only defend himself. Occasionally, he glanced around and saw that his fellow warriors were equally under pressure."If this continues, we might be doomed. There will be no one left brave enough to stop this misguided elder," he thought as he continued to fend off attacks from his father, whose body was now controlled by the opponent.Crash!"Ugh!"Liong Yun was thrown back by Liong Chen's kick, striking his abdomen directly. He immediately coughed up fresh blood."Warrior Liong!"Almost simultaneously, several warriors observing Liong Yun and Liong Chen's battle cried out in concern. The Shadow of Death Warrior seemed to be struggling."It turns out we miscalculated; I thought he wielded th
"Whoever among you wishes to join me, stand behind me. For those who stand before me, I shall deliver to the god of death, hahaha!"The booming proclamation of the Sage of Kayangan Island reverberated through the skies, sending shivers down the spines of all the martial artists who heard it. The martial artists began to panic as their bodies were assaulted by an unseen force that seemed to compel them to lose their footing on the ground.The intangible assault caused them to tumble through the air, struggling hard to defend themselves but seemingly unable to overcome the mysterious force that attacked them.Some of the stronger martial artists attempted to resist the force, but most of them eventually found themselves lifted off the ground, floating helplessly in the air. Deep darkness enveloped them, while the crackling of lightning added to the chaos and fear around them.Everyone was in a state of panic, yet not a single one could utter a word. They could only scream in deep fear,
"Attack!"The Great Sage of Kayangan Island gave orders to his ten main subordinates to attack. They were the ten troops chosen by the hermit. He named them the Ten Devils Who Bring Death.The ten people wore all red clothes. They all wore devil masks. Their bodies emitted black light and smoke.The death demons immediately surrounded Liong Yun in the air. Incredibly, it turns out that the science of lightening the bodies of ten people has surpassed the height of normal human knowledge. They float as if standing on the ground.Only for a moment did they stare at Liong Yun fiercely. The ten people immediately attacked and ganged up on the Death Shadow Warrior.The ten people changed their forms into pitch black figures. They attacked Liong Yun with very fast movements. The magical power they exert is no joke.However, none of the attacks launched by them managed to touch the young man. The agility of the Shadow Death Swordsman far exceeded that of the ten opponents who were attacking h
They were the Divine Hands Deity, the Sword Lightning Deity, and the White Tiger King. Without hesitation, the three joined Lin Lian Xue's side to face the remaining Four Dragon Protectors. With their arrival, the attacks that once threatened lives were now countered with equally ferocious strikes.The tide of battle began to turn. In mere moments, Lin Lian Xue delivered a decisive blow to the Southern Dragon, causing him to collapse with labored breaths before finally succumbing to his injuries. The remaining three Dragon Protectors began to falter against the relentless attacks of these formidable warriors.Amid the chaos of battle, the Black Dragon Emperor, witnessing the destruction of his army, could no longer contain his fury. With a face flushed in rage, he lunged toward Lin Lian Xue, determined to end her life. “How dare you!” he roared in hatred.However, just before the Black Dragon Emperor could reach Lin Lian Xue, a dazzling white light sliced through his path, accompanied
The awaited morning finally arrived, the ninth day of the fifth month. The skies above the Northern Empire’s border were gray, as if nature itself felt the tension between the two sides about to engage in a life-and-death battle.The combined forces of the Southern and Eastern Empires, led by the Master of Dragon Island, moved forward in neat formations. In the distance, they saw the Black Dragon Empire’s army, already prepared across the valley, led directly by the Black Dragon Emperor and his four Dragon Guardians—a newly formed rank after many sect leaders had been killed by Liong Yun.The Black Dragon Empire’s troops lined up with discipline. The soldiers, clad in black robes and menacing masks, were accompanied by dark art practitioners infamous for their ruthlessness and willingness to sacrifice lives. Loud cheers echoed from their ranks, as if to shake the courage of their opponents.Standing on a small hill, the Master of Dragon Island observed both sides preparing for battle.
Two days later, the forces of the Eastern Empire and the Southern Empire arrived at the border of the Northern Imperial City. The thunderous sound of thousands of soldiers marching shattered the stillness of the cold morning at the border. Amidst the formation, figures who symbolized hope moved with composed confidence.The Southern Emperor, accompanied by General Guo and the Master of Dragon Island, personally led his troops, while on the other side, the charismatic Eastern Emperor advanced with his strongest generals.The Southern Emperor, with his charisma and experience as a ruler, exuded authority, while the Eastern Emperor, who was once a legendary warrior, displayed his prowess. Two great leaders, commanding massive forces, prepared to launch an assault against the Black Dragon Empire.Aware of the high risk of conflict between these two massive armies, which could prove disastrous for both sides, the Southern Emperor and Eastern Emperor agreed to hold a meeting.In the midst o
With the strength he had unleashed up to half of his power, Lo Hao struck the ground with a powerful fist, and a violent tremor immediately spread, creating large cracks that crept toward Lin Lian Xue. The surrounding trees trembled, and some ancient roots emerged from the earth, making the battlefield even more chaotic.Lin Lian Xue avoided the cracks with an agile leap, but Lo Hao was already in front of her, ready to slash her with a hand that had now transformed into sharp black claws.The clash between Lo Hao's claws and Lin Lian Xue's sword sparked a blinding flash of energy. The air around them hissed as if burning, emitting sparks from their relentless battle.Each of Lin Lian Xue's moves, clad in a light resembling a dragon's shadow, aimed at Lo Hao's vital points. However, Lo Hao was now not only defending; he began launching counterattacks that were even more ferocious. "This is the end of the bloodline of the Dragon Sky Warrior!" he shouted, throwing a powerful punch that
The darkness of the forest surrounding Lin Lian Xue grew denser, as if cloaked in a mysterious mist that enveloped the trees and made each step feel heavy. Ancient trees with roots that sprawled like living creatures lurked, and the typically tranquil sounds of the night now echoed with strange vibrations, as if the forest was breathing in a sinister rhythm.Lin Lian Xue continued to move nimbly, following the dark figure she had chased from the camp, but slowly she realized she had strayed far from the imperial army.Suddenly, the figure stopped in the middle of the forest, right in a clearing dimly lit by moonlight. There, he stood tall, dressed in rough attire made of black fur mixed with blood. His face was hard and fierce, his lips curling into a smile that revealed fanged teeth."Welcome to my abode, sweet lady," he said with a deep voice that echoed in the darkness. "Surrender, and you will live happily as my wife. Or..." His words hung in the air, full of threat.Lin Lian Xue
The great army of the Southern Empire continued its march northward. Thousands of brave soldiers marched together under the fluttering banners bearing the golden tiger emblem, the symbol of the Southern Empire's strength and courage.Amidst the army stood the imposing figure of Great General Guo, firmly mounted on his horse. His sharp eyes gazed ahead as if foreseeing every obstacle they would face. His large, muscular body radiated the aura of a formidable leader, with a face that seemed prepared to face anything for the safety of the world.Beside him was the Master of Dragon Island, an elderly man with white hair who remained robust and dignified. His face was resolute, with eyes that exuded the calmness of a warrior who had faced many battles. His daughter, a beautiful swordswoman with a resolute spirit matching her father’s, accompanied him, holding the family heirloom sword entrusted to her since childhood. Her face was stern but conveyed a hidden care, especially for the fate o
A golden shadow moved swiftly, darting between the trees like lightning slicing through the night. The Divine Hands Master, an old martial world figure with incredible speed, moved with one purpose. The Nameless Haunted Valley, where the young and mighty Liong Yun resided with his loyal followers.The valley was shrouded in deadly poisonous mist, filled with natural traps and ferocious beasts. But for the Divine Hands Master, none of these were obstacles. His speed was unstoppable, leaving a golden trail in the emptiness.Upon reaching the Haunted Valley, the Divine Hands Master immediately entered the residence of his master. Liong Yun, a young man with a handsome face, a firm jaw, and thick eyebrows resembling eagle wings, sat atop a jade stone with an air of authority. He appeared more like a learned scholar than someone from the rough world of martial arts.A gentle smile graced his lips, but his gaze was cold and sharp, displaying an unshakeable calmness. Behind his serene appear
That night, the atmosphere in the Northern and Western regions of the Black Dragon Empire’s territory turned menacing. The usually calm night wind now felt bone chilling, accompanied by dark shadows flitting in every corner of the villages.Many of the residents were terrified. Panicked screams could be heard everywhere, while the campfires in the middle of the villages flickered under the cold moonlight."My child! Please! Where is my child?" An old woman ran around crying in front of her empty house."He just went out this morning! How could he have disappeared?" an old man whispered to his neighbor, trembling. "Others have disappeared too. A few other young men are also missing.""This must be the work of demons!" his neighbor replied, pale-faced. "I heard from the neighboring village that three young men disappeared the same way! No trace, just a black mist left behind. Those who vanished all share the same trait they were all born on the first day of the seventh month.""Oh gods.
Liong Chen nodded, his voice still cold. “Not just any blood. The Black Dragon Emperor requires the blood of a hundred young men to be taken within two days.”The right protector fell silent for a moment, his face tense. “A hundred young men in two days? In our current situation? Our power is already fragmented after the last war!”“If not,” continued Liong Chen, disregarding the complaint, “his strength will never fully recover. And when that happens, the Black Dragon Empire will lose its leader forever.”The right protector furrowed his brows even deeper. “Without the Emperor, we will be destroyed... All his followers will perish.”“You know what needs to be done,” Liong Chen said sharply, his gaze full of pressure.“I will arrange everything,” replied the right protector firmly, although his mind was in turmoil.After the Right Protector left the room, Liong Chen remained beside the Black Dragon Emperor, his eyes observing the ruler’s weakened body. “A hundred lives—that’s all that
