Xiao Tian, seeing his father stabbed, screamed hysterically.
Xiao Tian wanted to go back, but his mother stopped him. “Tian’er, we must go. Don’t waste your father’s sacrifice, who wants us to live!” “No, Mother, I must save Father!” Xiao Tian struggled to break free from his mother’s grasp, but his mother held him tight, and they ran faster. Xiao Tian’s eyes had turned red; he was crying tears of blood. He kept staring at his father, who now had no chance to live. Dozens of spears and swords had pierced his father’s body from front and back. Xiao Jian stood with his sword as support. He looked at Wang Chong with a murderous gaze. “Wang Chong, your death is not far. My son will surely avenge me.” Wang Chong sneered coldly. “Don’t hope too much. They won’t be able to escape! I will send them to hell to accompany you!” Wang Chong looked at his troops. “Capture them and bring them back, dead or alive!” “Yes, Your Majesty.” Wang Chong's face turned red, his anger reaching its peak, his eyes emitting a terrifying murderous aura. “Xiao Jian. Now, I will end your life first. Don’t worry, you won’t be lonely. Soon, your wife and child will follow you to Hell!” “Wang Chong. You’re truly barbaric! My wife and child are your sister and nephew. How can you treat them like this? People like you will soon face a calamity far more painful than this!” In his heart, Xiao Jian hoped that karma would soon catch up with Wang Chong and give him the punishment he deserved. “Enough talk!” Bang— A sword instantly sliced Xiao Jian’s body into two parts, and the man died in a gruesome manner. “My poor brother-in-law, I won’t let anyone threaten my position. To me, there are no relatives or friends. Anyone who has the potential to take my position will meet a gruesome death!” said Wang Chong with a sinister and hateful tone. Wang Chong’s face looked terrifying, his eyes ablaze with rage, his lips curled into a sadistic smile, and his face appeared more cruel than a demon’s. Wang Chong clenched his fists tightly as if wanting to destroy everything in front of him. Wangmei and Xiao Tian kept running, gasping for breath, trying with all their might to leave the Wuyu Region. However, their journey stopped when they reached the bank of a vast river that separated them from their destination. The river was known as the Wang River, famous throughout the Wang Kingdom. It was filled with various ferocious beasts of extraordinary strength. Some were even known to possess power equivalent to that of a royal warrior. The Wang Kingdom had built a suspension bridge to facilitate crossing this dangerous river. At this moment, Wangmei and Xiao Tian stood in the middle of the bridge. They couldn’t continue their journey because several Kingdom soldiers were blocking their way ahead, and they couldn’t go back either, as Kingdom soldiers were chasing them from behind. “Empress, it’s better if you surrender! Your deaths won’t be too painful,” the Kingdom General sneered with a lustful look in his eyes. Seeing no way out, Wangmei drew a short sword from within her gown. “You want me to surrender? Keep dreaming!” Slash— Wangmei cut the ropes holding the bridge; then, she pushed Xiao Tian into the river. “Mother, no!” Xiao Tian didn’t want to be separated from his mother. But Wangmei pushed her son’s body with great force until Xiao Tian fell into the river. The river was large and had a very strong current, and the flow carried away Xiao Tian. “Mother, mother!” Xiao Tian kept calling for his mother, but Wangmei only smiled bitterly. “Son, you must live. No matter what happens, you must live.” Wangmei shifted her gaze. She looked at the Kingdom General with sharp eyes. “Traitorous scoundrels, I will kill you all!” A cold aura emanated from Wangmei’s body. She was a woman known to possess powerful ice energy. She began to attack using the short sword coated with ice. The sound of clashing weapons echoed as Wangmei fought against the General. Puchi— Suddenly, Wangmei spewed blood with a loud noise. Several spears had pierced her from behind. Xiao Tian watched his mother with eyes as red as blood. He saw his mother smiling at him with a face covered in blood. Xiao Tian could no longer resist the river’s strong current, and the boy was swept away. Whether he was alive or dead, no one knew. The Kingdom General and the other soldiers didn’t care about Xiao Tian’s fate; they only looked at Wangmei’s lifeless body. “It’s such a pity; the Empress’s beautiful body is now full of wounds,” the General said with a sad tone. One of his subordinates dared to speak to their General. “General. If possible, you shouldn’t touch the Empress’s body. After all, the Empress is our King’s sister. If His Majesty finds out, we could all face his wrath.” The man spoke while bowing because he knew their General was very passionate and had slept with countless women. “Hmm, you don’t need to worry; I still have limits. Now, let’s return and present the Empress’s body to His Majesty.” “But General, what about Xiao Tian? He was swept away in the river. Should we search for him?” Hearing his subordinate’s words, the General snorted coldly. “Search for him? Why waste time? The boy is surely dead; this river is filled with wild beasts. There’s no need! He must have already become their food. Now let’s go back!”The General took Wangmei’s body back to the Kingdom. Wang Chong welcomed their arrival. After hearing the whole story, Wang Chong didn’t care about Xiao Tian, as he also believed that wild beasts indeed ate Xiao Tian.“Prepare a funeral for my sister! As for Xiao Jian’s body, throw it into the soul-tracker dog kennel.”Wang Chong was genuinely ruthless, letting his brother-in-law’s body become food for his pet dogs.After Wangmei’s body was buried and Xiao Jian’s body was thrown into the dog kennel, they didn’t know that both bodies had transformed into a tree branch.****In a place far away, not in the Ming Dynasty nor Wuyu City, a middle-aged man stood with a wonderful woman on a mountain peak that reached beyond the clouds.The man and woman bore a striking resemblance to Xiao Jian and Wangmei.The woman gazed at the vast sea of clouds spreading out before her. Even though she looked at the sea of clouds, her vision could penetrate everything in every direction. She sighed softly
Xiao Tian felt warmth as the older man continued channeling his internal energy into him.The older man frowned, astonished by Xiao Tian's healing ability. Even if he hadn't treated him, Xiao Tian would have healed alone. If he had continued drifting in the river, his body could have been torn apart by the fierce water.After some time, Xiao Tian woke up and clasped his hands."Senior, thank you for saving me."Xiao Tian didn't call the old man grandpa because he felt that was only appropriate for his relatives, so he just called him senior.Hearing Xiao Tian's thanks, the older man didn't immediately respond. He was still amazed by the child's healing ability. Moreover, he was perplexed; he couldn't discern the type of bones and specific areas in Xiao Tian's body.The older man was sure this child was not ordinary. An ordinary child would have indeed died in that great river. Not to mention the ferocious beasts; even the fierce river current and hitting the rocks should have killed h
“Respect to the patriarch.” The gatekeepers immediately bowed in respect upon seeing Fa Wa. Fa Wa merely smiled and led Ziyan Rouxi and Xiao Tian inside. Xiao Tian arrived at Fa Wa’s residence. Fa Wa looked at Xiao Tian. “Tian, you will stay here now. However, although I have adopted you as my grandson, you will not be exempt from duties. Your task is to clean the entire courtyard and the training area. You must also take care of all the books in this house; do not let a single book gather dust! When you turn ten, I will register you as a disciple of this sect. Even though I am the patriarch, I must follow the sect’s rules. Do you understand?” Xiao Tian clasped his hands together. “Grandfather, I understand.” **** Every day, Xiao Tian diligently performed his tasks. Every morning, Xiao Tian diligently swept the courtyard, removing the scattered dry leaves. The morning sunlight reflected off the sweat on his innocent face. After that, he moved on to his next task, dusting off the
Xiao Tian learned about the warrior realms from the books he read.The levels of warriors were measured by the number of internal energy circles they possessed.A first-class warrior: had 30 circles of internal energy.A second-class warrior: had 100 circles of internal energy.A third-class warrior: had 200 circles of internal energy.A fourth-class warrior: had 300 circles of internal energy.After that, they progressed to the realm of king warriors.King warriors were divided into earth king warriors, sky king warriors, and martial king warriors.An earth king warrior had levels from one to nine.Level 1: had 500 circles of internal energy.Level 2: had 700 circles of internal energy.Level 3: had 900 circles of internal energy.Level 4: had 1,100 circles.Level 5: had 1,300 circles.Level 6: had 1,500 circles.Level 7: had 1,700 circles.Level 8: had 1,900 circles.Level 9: had 2,100 circles.Sky king warriors also had levels from 1 to 9.Level 1: had 2,400 circles of internal ene
“Daniel, have you been hiding your strength?” Daniel smiled slightly. “If you can hide yours, why can’t I?” “Daniel, don’t rejoice yet. I haven’t lost to you!” Lu Xuan tried to stand up, but Daniel didn’t give him the chance. He moved very quickly and stood before Lu Xuan, placing his sword at Lu Xuan’s neck. “You’ve lost!” Daniel smiled, seeing Lu Xuan’s face that could not accept this reality. “How could I lose to you? Please explain to me how you can be stronger than me? I’m not just a talented disciple, but I also come from a strong background. While you, you have no background, so how can you be stronger than me?” Daniel didn’t answer. He just smiled as usual. However, when Liu Qingyun was about to announce the winner, an old man’s voice suddenly rang out. “Fa Wa, why didn’t you tell me there was such excitement happening at your place?” Fa Wa immediately stood up, frowning. He saw an old man coming with two middle-aged men and a young man about Lu Xuan’s age. Fa Wa reco
"Do you intend to join the fight? If you want to fight, I don't mind taking on both of you simultaneously!" Although Xiao Tian had stopped his attack, Xing Han still did not take Xiao Tian seriously. Xiao Tian shook his head. "Do you not understand my meaning? If you don't, then fine, I'll make you understand." Xiao Tian looked sharply at the Patriarch of the Boundless Valley. "Old man, I don't know where you come from. But your actions in our Sect don't reflect those of a master. If you want a fight between disciples, this isn't the way. My Supreme Sword Sect will satisfy your desire for a battle." Hearing the sharp comments from a child, Gan Feng's face turned red, anger rising in his expression. As a patriarch of the Boundless Valley, how could he tolerate the words of a child who didn't understand the martial world? But before he could unleash his fury, Fa Wa, standing beside him, spoke first. "Gan Feng, don't you feel ashamed of your childish behavior? Tian's words are true!
After blocking Xing Han’s sword slash, Xiao Tian swiftly twisted his wrist with agility. The sword, previously used to block Xing Han’s attack, became a deadly strike aimed at Xing Han’s abdomen. Bang— “Ugh...” Xing Han was thrown several meters away. After stabilizing himself, he suddenly spat out blood from his mouth. Xing Han glared at Xiao Tian viciously while wiping his blood. “Kid, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to have such strength. Now, you won’t have another chance to defend yourself!” Xing Han released his true aura. Now, everyone could feel Xing Han's power. “Damn, this kid Xing Han has a massive amount of inner energy, he's nearly a fourth-class warrior. What do we do? Tian is surely going to be defeated by him!” “Don’t panic, look at Tian’s face. Even though that guy revealed his power, Tian is still very calm. It means Tian has a way to deal with him.” Many people doubted Xiao Tian, while some remained optimistic about the boy. “Kid, now it’s time to e
Gan Feng lowered his voice. “Young Tian. This is just a spar, why are you acting so ruthlessly?” Xiao Tian smiled slightly with a cold face. “Old man, how can you call me ruthless? I want to secure my victory. Who knows, your student might still have a hidden card to face me because until now, I haven’t heard your student say the word 'surrender.'” Hearing Xiao Tian’s words, everyone had the same thought. “Patriarch Gan Feng, what Tian said is true. Xing Han hasn’t uttered the word 'surrender,' so Tian’s actions can’t be considered ruthless. He’s just securing his victory.” The elder beside Fa Wa spoke with an innocent face, making Gan Feng want to vomit blood. Gan Feng’s face turned from blue to purple. He was thoroughly humiliated there. He came to offend the Supreme Sword Sect, who knew he would get the opposite result. Xiao Tian’s foot was still on Xing Han’s chest, and now he realized how terrifying the boy was. Xing Han wanted to say 'surrender.' But just as his lips
Fa Wa called upon several Elders from the Supreme Sword Sect who had reached the peak of the Martial King realm. With a serious expression, he ordered, “You will lead a group of talented disciples to assist the Golden Dragon Sacred Hall. However, remember that your and the disciples' safety is the top priority. Make sure you protect each other.”Before Fa Wa could finish speaking, Daniel arrived at his residence. Initially, Daniel intended to ask permission to visit the Yuntai Kingdom. Still, as soon as he heard that the Golden Dragon Sacred Hall had been attacked and that the Supreme Sword Sect was sending reinforcements, he immediately changed his mind.“Patriarch, I will join this mission,” Daniel said firmly.Upon hearing Daniel’s voice, the Elders immediately turned to look at him. When they sensed his aura, almost all of them were surprised. Daniel had now reached the fifth rank of the Martial King realm, an incredible improvement in such a short amount of time.“Daniel, your re
Xiao Tian appeared in the depths of a forest, surrounded by lush trees and the tranquil sounds of nature. He walked toward a hidden cave nestled among the bushes. “At least here, no beasts will come to devour the body,” he muttered resolutely. After those words left his lips, the fiery and electric aura surrounding his body gradually dissipated. Exhaustion overcame him, and in an instant, Xiao Tian fell into a deep sleep.Deep within his soul lay a secret place known as the dantian—a mystical space reserved for those with a unique bloodline. Within it resided a colossal beast enveloped in fire and lightning, its eyes sharp and haughty as they observed Xiao Tian.“Boy,” it growled, its deep voice echoing, “you’re fortunate the seal placed by your father still protects your body. You would’ve been reduced to ashes without it when you tried to draw on my power forcibly. I never expected your father to manage such a feat, allowing you to harness divine strength without the deity’s permi
"Great Elder, please forgive me," General Wang said in a trembling voice, filled with fear. "I never expected him to possess the realm of a mid-tier Martial Emperor, and his power defies the heavens. If we let him live, he will undoubtedly become a massive threat to us all. Please, kill him!"Hearing General Wang’s panicked explanation, the Great Elder’s initial anger subsided. Calmly, he took out a pill from his pocket and handed it to General Wang. "Don’t worry, I won’t let a potential danger like him live."Without hesitation, one of the men in black robes vanished from sight. When he reappeared, he was already standing before Xiao Tian. "So fast!" Xiao Tian thought, startled. Fortunately, he had the Heavenly Eyes, which allowed him to track the black-robed man’s swift movements. Otherwise, he would have been caught off guard by the sudden attack."Die!" the black-robed man shouted, swinging his hand with lethal intent. However, before the attack could land, Xiao Tian activated a t
General Wang looked at Xiao Tian with a scornful gaze. Despite Xiao Tian's brave demeanor, General Wang didn’t consider him a serious threat. How could he underestimate himself? He was a Half-Martial Emperor at the fourth rank, a power that justified his arrogance and confidence."You don’t need to know how I survived after falling into the Wang River," Xiao Tian said, his voice trembling with years of suppressed anger. "All you need to know is that today will be the day of your death!"Xiao Tian’s rage could no longer be contained. General Wang was responsible for his mother’s death—a tragedy that haunted him every second of his life, day and night..General Wang shook his head, laughing mockingly, clearly dismissing the threat. "Capture him! His Majesty will be pleased if we present his corpse as a gift!" he commanded arrogantly.In an instant, thousands of royal soldiers surrounded Xiao Tian from all sides. However, to Xiao Tian, they were nothing more than minor obstacles. His eye
Wang Zhen shook his head heavily. “Young Master, I do not mean to forbid you from avenging your parents. However, now is not the right time. The power structure of the Wang Kingdom has drastically changed. In the past, reaching the Martial King realm was considered extraordinarily difficult, but now, even the Half-Martial Emperor realm seems easy to attain. Perhaps this is why many of your father’s loyal subordinates ultimately betrayed him—what cultivator doesn’t desire greater power?”Xiao Tian acknowledged the truth in his uncle’s words. Even though the Wang Kingdom was once one of the leading powers in the Ming Dynasty, it had been filled only with Martial Kings in its prime. His grandfather was the only person who had ever reached the Half-Martial Emperor realm. Unfortunately, his grandfather had long passed away. Xiao Jian, who had the potential to become a Half-Martial Emperor, had fallen at the hands of Wang Chong. Yet now, Half-Martial Emperors appeared as abundantly as Chine
The ancestral land of the Misty Cloud Sect was truly as beautiful as its name. It was located at the peak of a floating mountain, surrounded by thick clouds that seemed like natural decorations gently enveloping it. The clouds not only added to the beauty of the scenery but also created a magical atmosphere as if the mountain were suspended between different dimensions. Every time someone set foot in this land, they were instantly captivated by the spectacular view before them and the overwhelming spiritual energy in the air. The energy felt refreshing, like a gentle breeze that uplifted the spirit and calmed the soul. This ancestral land was a majestic and mysterious place. Surrounding it were spiritual creatures flying gracefully in the sky, each radiating an ancient aura and immense power. These were no ordinary beings, but the loyal guardians of the sect who had existed for thousands of years. Every movement they made was graceful, yet signified unimaginable strength. They were
After eliminating Ming Wen and the others, Xiao Tian quickly gathered all the remaining spiritual plants in the world. Not a single valuable plant was left behind. However, once everything had been collected, the world suddenly trembled violently. Xiao Tian, surprised, immediately shot forward at high speed, trying to leave the place as quickly as possible. But a voice, mighty and grand, echoed through the void. "Young one, do you think I will let you go after you’ve taken all my spiritual plants?" The voice was accompanied by an overwhelming pressure, causing Xiao Tian’s body to freeze, unable to move. The force was so immense that he felt his body might shatter at any moment if this situation continued. "Damn, what realm does this person belong to? With this kind of power, my body won’t hold up for long and will break," Xiao Tian thought anxiously. As he tried to locate the source of the voice, the pressure he felt suddenly intensified. His vision blurred, and his entire body fel
Only Wu Dhi, Wang Lee, Ming Wen, and the elders of equal rank to Ming Wen remained. Meanwhile, the other members had already collapsed at Xiao Tian’s hands. "This child is ruthless. We must exert all our strength to defeat him. Otherwise, we’ll meet the same fate as our companions," Ming Wen said, giving directions in a stern tone. As they formulated their plan, Xiao Tian simply watched from afar. To him, no matter what strategy they devised, it was meaningless in the face of absolute power. Ming Wen and the elders of equal rank took the first step. They readied their swords and golden hammers, gathering an immense amount of power. Whoosh— Both of them darted to Xiao Tian’s left and right, then swung their weapons with all their might. Bang— A wave of explosion shattered the silence, creating chaos that tore the surrounding space as if it were a spider’s web. Their powerful strikes came from half-emperor martial artists at the fifth rank, enhanced by the effects of forbidden d
Xiao Tian shook his head. “It turns out not only have you become a dog who easily switches masters, but you also have a very shallow memory. I don’t care whether you believe it or not, I am Xiao Tian, the son of Xiao Jian, the one who will take your life, traitor!” His murderous aura exploded, focusing its terrifying energy on Wang Lee and the other members of the Wang Kingdom, making them feel a real threat. “Wang Yihan, is he Young Master Xiao Tian?” Wang Lee asked nervously, his eyes never leaving the figure standing in the air, calm yet full of power. “I don’t care who he is. What’s clear is that he wants to kill us. We can only kill him first!” Wang Yihan replied firmly, not allowing any doubts to enter his mind. Ming Wen, who was at the front of the line, snorted coldly. “Kid, I don’t know how you ended up here, but because you dare to stop us, I’m sorry, but I’ll have to behead you!” Ming Wen unsheathed his sword, flying swiftly toward Xiao Tian. He didn’t waste any time
