The old woman seemed to have grasped her staff with full force. The staff she normally used for walking seemed to float above the rain puddles—it was evident that she had prepared for a battle.

The golden-haired man, meanwhile, also quietly began to finger the handle of the golden-coloured bow in his hand.

Just as the atmosphere of war was beginning to set in, a sudden sound broke the tension. It came from the street, which was full of puddles from the rain.

"Steamed bun vendor uncle... Are you the famous steamed bun vendor? Ah... I hope I will arrive on time and stay in your steam bun. That is so famous all over the city."

Suddenly, the aura of battle that had begun to be felt in the area of the Calico tent tavern subsided quickly. Still, with vigilant gazes, everyone inside the tent stared in the direction from which the sound had come.

Standing in front of everyone was a man with a posture that was somewhere between tall and short, reasonably proportionate. His appearance did not r

    However, the shocking scene did not stop there. With a swift and decisive movement, the Dark Elf extended his left hand forward, forming a palm strike that carried a deadly chill. A low rumbling sound rang out, "Wush!" as if signalling impending death."Die!" the Dark Elf exclaimed in a cold and emotionless voice. His palm then took out a long ice crystal, equivalent to the female Magus' staff. However, the ice crystal in the Dark Elf's hand was tapered, resembling a sword that glittered under the light of the lantern."Brrrt!" a sharp scraping sound rang out.The sleeve of the female Magus' robe was torn by the slice of the Dark Elf's crystal sword.Meanwhile, the female Magus deftly leapt backwards, rolling in circles into the sky. With beautiful movements, she floated in the air as if dancing among the stars. One breath later, she had gained control of herself and was hovering in the air, staring at the tavern. Its gaze locked onto the Dark Elf with a decisive killing air, as if it

    The Fey only chuckled briefly.He said, "I don't care. As long as you give me the Noble Phantasm and the Relicui you won in the Endless Desert, I will not leave this mortal world city."Suma Fen snorted, and then he said... "You really don't know shame. All I know is that the Fey race is generous and not greedy. Yet I see you as different from the average Fey. Greedy!" said Suma Fen sarcastically.Meanwhile, not long after he spoke with the dark-haired Fey, the female Magus and the Dark Elf were seen to have been beside that Fey.He said sarcastically. "I see that two witches of two races have ended their battle. I wonder... What was the deal between the two of you that you suddenly got along and now look like you're going to turn around and attack me?""Hand over the Dragon Relic to me!" the Dark Elf snapped in his deep voice."If you hand over the Eye of the Queen - Noble Phantasm, I will spare your soul!" The female Magus pointed at Suma Fen with her wand.Hearing that the other tw

    Suma Fen glanced lightly at the crowd watching the witch battle that night. He knew that the existence of the witches and Magi had been revealed after they had openly fought magically earlier.But he also realized that there were clearly many witches among the crowd mingling with the commoners. His eyes then swept and gazed coldly at the night sky—in the third and fourth layers—and saw the presence of many Afrit and Marid, spirit beings who were subordinate to the witches.Such ethereal spirit beings were the errands of their witch masters to spy on the battle, then would take advantage for personal gain.With a glare like a tiger and a voice full of menace, he said,"I will not tolerate and have mercy on any of the Magi who try to seize the Relicui gift in my hands.You should all respect the decision of the Holy War and not be greedy to snatch the dragon relic from my hands.”“As the victor of this century's Holy War, I reiterate. Death is the reward you will receive for whoever sti

    "Useless creatures!" snorted the Taoist coldly. He quickly dispelled all the arrows with one hand.It's true. It doesn't detract from his appearance despite the disadvantage of only having one arm. His face looked radiant - full of energy and handsome. The one-armed man lightly waved his right hand, and hundreds of arrows shot at him fell to the ground."He's a Saint realm practitioner," shouted the soldiers in the eastern region of the Cursed Desert.The one-armed young priest made a circular motion in the air after he counted and estimated the number of troops from this direction of the Eastern Desert, intending to turn north.Just as this one-armed man turned his body around and was about to return to the northern defense fortress, suddenly, a figure leaped into the air.Suit!That figure was an officer wearing special officer's armor. He whistled in a booming voice, and one sharp sword made a straight stabbing motion toward the one-armed man.The sound of the sword squeaking was h

    The youngsters, the core disciples of the Cloud Sword Sect, rushed—scattering to pick up that Great Ying Imperial Alliance Sect Vice Master. Peng Fai was so upset upon returning from that trip. The spying he had just done made Peng Fa discover a shocking reality.He had no idea that the Eastern Empire was so serious about attacking their northern territories. During his spying activities earlier, he recorded in his memory the number of 25,000 troops of the imperial army brought from the Far East, specially brought in to destroy them.He was also horrified when he saw the giant rock-throwing destroyers and giant dart machines - about twenty brought over from the East.+++"We must prepare to leave this stronghold. We'll all die needlessly if we survive with this small number. In my spying activities, I calculated that there were approximately 25,000 of the Eastern Empire's soldiers and their destructive machines. That terrifying number does not include the number of practitioners from

    He let out a long sigh, allowing the bitter memories to flow back."When the war happened back then, I will never forget how my grandfather was killed by your demon race's attack. Back then, we were still clouded by various techniques and useful pills.""But look at it now... As for you valuing yourself and your western territory so highly, you would never expect the experts in the north to have advanced so much with modern techniques," the masked woman replied in a hateful tone. She clenched her fists, demonstrating her determination.He stared at Mo Lao Gui with a sharp gaze. "I've been wondering... is the fourth-level SAGE that people from the West are buzzing about here someone of great skill? Do you dare to exchange swords with me?" The woman pointed her sword at the ship, the moonlight reflecting off the sharp edge of the blade."Time has passed quickly. Your glory in the West has faded, consumed by time. It is now time for the glory and majesty to belong to us, the people of th

    Mao Lao Gui's hands formed a cross, like two dragons preparing to attack. The three pairs of dagger claws on his fists rang painfully in the ears, the sound resembling the screams of ghosts emerging from the pits of hell, as he assumed a ready-to-kill position.As the demon elder released a slash, forming an X with his two hands, 'Tsing!'—six dagger claws filled with light flew out quickly, carrying a perverted and evil energy. The squeaking sound of the sharp weapons was terrifying, like wolves howling in the dark and cold night. Six aura daggers flew, moving swiftly like arrows released from a bow, toward the masked woman from the Cloud Sword Sect."She must be dead!" exclaimed one of the spectators, his voice filled with hatred and satisfaction. "That demon woman got her just desserts!" swore the remaining practitioners on the spirit vessel. Everyone looked enthusiastic and excited, like hyenas waiting for their prey to fall. The demon elder had taken the action of killing with a s

    Then,The sword and palm approached each other—full of energy, one containing pure air and the other heretical air. Earlier, the Cloud Sword Sect masked expert had secretly stored his Hudtim into the ring, and with a swift movement, he reached for two jade slip-shaped objects. Magic talismans!Kraaak! The flexible sword that was thrust at Mao Lao Gui instantly broke upon colliding with the White Skull Tread's attack.The force of the impact did not stop there. The claw-shaped tread quickly and cunningly twisted, strangely able to squeeze the masked expert's hand. Once his hand was immersed in the opponent's flesh, the poisonous claws scraped along the length of the masked practitioner's arm.Breettt! The sound of her sleeve being ripped off echoed. One white sleeve was now exposed, but the roots were stained with deep and long scratch marks—five straight lines of poisonous claws. The color looked red and quickly turned blackish."You bastard! Die, you devil!" the masked man fumed as h

    Jiayi looked uneasy. She didn't want the two White Stream Sect Leader geniuses to kill each other."Cool brother Jiang, can't you break up those two youngsters?Your cultivation is much higher than Jiayi's.It would be much easier if one is from the same cultivation realm, compared to my low cultivation self, to separate those two youngsters who seem to be going crazy," Jiayi said with an expectant look at Guo Jiang.Guo Jiang thought for a moment. He considered the risk if he showed his snow lotus technique. He looked for an excuse to refuse."Then what answer should I give to that Yin Fu He? On the other hand, we both also watched him practicing with their Peach Moon Sect's secret techniques," Guo Jiang asked back.Jiayi was a resourceful teenager. With just a quick thought, she had come up with the right answer, just in case Yin Fu He turned his anger on the two of them."About that, brother Guo Jiang doesn't need to worry. I have thought of the right answer to silence Yin Fu He. F

  • Fifteen Steps, Endless Blades.

    The sword in Yin Fu He's hand was getting closer to Zhao Hua's back when it glowed in rainbow colors. Beautiful but dangerous.Jiayi was wide-eyed at the sight. Her heart was upset that there wasn't the slightest defense from Zhao Hua, who still seemed indifferent."You stupid dandy, he thinks the Rainbow Sword Technique is only a low-grade technique," Jiayi tensed up in fascination at the beauty of the Rainbow Sword.Suddenly, unexpectedly, Zhao Hua turned around quickly. His face broke into a faint smile, a look of disdain on his face. He wasn't stupid enough to just let the sword in Yin Fu He's hand split him in half.With a cold snort, his hand quickly brought out the sword that had been ready to come out of its sheath, too fast for the naked eye to follow.In a swift motion, still in a hovering state, Zhao Hua returned the sword strokes, now his demeanor changed from clumsy to serious and authoritative looking. His voice chanting the sword incantation was loud enough to raise the

    Jiayi was just about to jump out from behind the snow mountain and apologize to Yin Fu He, but her movement was stopped. Guo Jiang gripped the girl's adoration tightly, so tightly that she wanted to scream in pain.Her eyes bulged like they were going to pop out of their sockets, but her heart calmed down at the sight of Brother Guo Jiang's shady eyes."Hold back, sister Jiayi.We should not act rashly. The matter of peeping at people practicing their stash techniques is embarrassing.We should wait a little longer and see what happens. My guess is that Yin Fu He is too prejudiced. How could he possibly detect the two of us who are quietly safe due to the status of this protective Talisman?" said Guo Jiang, stepping cautiously with distrust of that Yin Fu He.There was silence, but the sea breeze carrying vapor and ice grains sounded rough.Five winks passed, and Yin Fu He seemed to lose his patience. Sword sounds rang out as the youngster of the Crescent Moon Sect drew a sword. His f

  • Arena of Shattered Ice.

    Because he held a VIP invitation that was a special invitation for the Thirteen Immortal World Rulers Sect Master, Huang Guowei was given a place to stay, a large pavilion that could accommodate more than 20 people.The Ice Island's master had apparently made professional preparations by setting up so many makeshift buildings as lodgings for so many sects, that is, outside of World Lord Martial arts world's thirteen largest sects.They passed through a large arena where the floor looked like a mirror; it was the original floor of ice crystals that were decades old—never melted a speck.There were tons of circular seating seats around the stage of the ice-crystal-floored arena.Huang Guowei glanced indifferently then whispered to Guo Jiang and Jiayi."It looks like the host intentionally made a combat arena, it's the most dangerous arena I've ever seen.The floor of this ice crystal is very slippery, so the best balance and Qinggong techniques will be helpful in case you join the fight

  • Moonlit Harbor, Hidden Motives.

    Even from afar, the scent of jasmine mixed with lavender wafted up to their ocean-going ship.Jiayi laughed lightly at the dandy figure."That 15-year-old youngster is named Zhao Hua. He's the only son of the Patriarch of the Zhao Clan in the Ancient City of the Northwest Slope of this continent.At this young age, Zhao Hua had broken through to become a level 3 Earth Rank Practitioner. He mastered the 15 Steps of Death Sword Technique, a deadly sword technique of the Zhao Clan.Rumor had it that if someone in the Clan inherited the 15 Death Sword Movement Technique, then that person would become the next Patriarch of the Zhao Clan."Guo Jiang chuckled after hearing all of Jiayi's explanation. Indeed, in his recent journey, he felt that with his ability to break through to become a level 3 Earth Practitioner, it was extremely extraordinary. He was counted as a genius and a rare existence in the Martial arts world.But that sense of pride instantly melted away, drowning in the cold sea

  • Peach Moon and Lightning.

    In the Northern Region of the Silver Screen Continent, the snow season seemed to never end throughout the year. Even if spring or summer came around, it wasn't too long before the flower season and summer would move quickly, welcoming the arrival of fall as the start of the long snow season.Today was a beautiful day, when the sky was clear and bright, free of gray clouds. Nonetheless, here in the North Sea, the surface of the sea was pure white with thin ice glistening in the sun, making the three medium-sized ships sailing across the sea look like huge whales swimming on a silver mirror.Guo Jiang and Jiayi stood on the bridge of their Ocean Crossing ship, looking at the ice crystals that lay glittering on the seawater, looking like a glass tapestry.On the starboard side of their ships, within a safe distance was each ship on the starboard side with a large pennant; it depicted half a peach blossom, side by side with an embroidered silver crescent moon, with two other swords crosse

  • Mercy and Hidden Roots

    Guo Jiang said, "Give this pill to your leader. I suggest that he rest for no less than one month on a bed and not force himself to do any strenuous activities.If he violates the terms of treatment I have described, don't blame me if your leader young master will lose all his cultivation. If he doesn't take a complete rest within 1 month, his dantian will be damaged by the cold of the Snow Lotus, and then he will become a cripple."Ren's words were casual and unremarkable. But in the ears of the group of pirates who were also busy tending to their severely injured young master, the real threat of space sounded like a thunderclap in broad daylight.The dozens of people then knelt down to worship Guo Jiang while expressing their gratitude and promised not to violate the treatment rules required by the young man and would also pay close attention to who was worth reading and which groups they could not touch.There was no need to wait too long after Ren Huang pardoned the pirate leader'

  • One Strike, Endless Frost.

    Guo Jiang swung the Silent Shadow Sword; he performed a poking motion that contained a deadly cold force, the magnitude of which was as heavy as 1900 jin. It was even one fierce pure air power that was higher than the pirate man's combat energy.Wush!Qian Chang swung back, intent on blocking Guo Jiang's sword strike. In his view, his sect's Water Snake Sword Art had a defense ability that was as solid as a summer fortress. But suddenly Qian Chang's chest was tight in a freeze.All eyes now looked with pity at the young pirate leader.The young man who claimed to be Roque Kultivator swore with a strange technical chant that made the air instantly condense into crystals and time seemed to slow down."Ice Island Cold Energy!" a horrified hiss sounded from the mouths of the pirate members.The youngster was now so fast that his movements were barely caught by the eye. Everyone was surprised to see Guo Jiang flying across the long distance between ships, his wings flapping beautifully.It

  • Arrogance Shattered in Ice.

    Qian Chang was a genius of the Water Snake Sect, which was one of the ten sects of the pirate group that ruled the waters of the North Sea. Out of the ten pirate sects in the North Sea, the Water Snake Sect was the most dominant, as it had many members who were mostly early to mid-level Earth ranked lake river cultivators.Qian Chang was the nephew of Pirate Sect Master Qian Lau. Pirate Qian Lau loved his nephew Qian Chang very much, considering that he had been nurtured by Qian Lau since childhood, so the old Pirate had considered Qian Chang as his own biological son.Growing up in a harsh environment full of lake river criminals, and being hailed from an early age as the young master to replace the old pirate Qian Lau, made Qian Chang grow up to be a proud young man who never knew the meaning of hardship.Indeed, since he was a child, the boy had always been pampered and had never known the meaning of defeat in his life; that was because all members of the Water Snake Sect respected
