"Listen, Elder… I once lost consciousness after fighting someone."
Li Jie then recounted every moment of his journey in the other realm while he was unconscious, up until the fire entered his body.
Sun Yu was shocked by Li Jie's story. He never expected that the young man possessed the Demon Fire, something that martial artists had long coveted.
"You are fortunate, sir. That fire is the Demon Fire, and it is highly sought after by martial artists in the martial world. I never imagined that obtaining it required going through the process of near-death."
"The Demon Fire? Does that mean I have a demonic essence within me?"
"In a way, yes, sir. But the Demon Fire within you can become something positive depending on how you use it. According to the stories I'

"That's right. Besides, that young man is very handsome. He must be from a wealthy family and carrying a lot of treasure," one of them responded."Hahaha! Look at that black horse! If he were just an ordinary man, he wouldn’t have been able to get such a fine horse. I'm sure it’s worth a fortune. The boss will be thrilled to ride such a magnificent steed.""Hand over your valuables if you don't want to die!" another man barked.Li Jie furrowed his brows. He turned to Hong Li and gave him a slight nod.Hong Li stood up. His tall, muscular frame and piercing gaze sent a shiver down the spines of some of the bandits. However, knowing they outnumbered him, any fear they felt quickly vanished."You're just that young man’s servant! Don't act tough unless you want to die for nothing!" one of them snapped.Li Jie chuckled upon hearing them call Hong Li his servant."Shut up! There's nothing funny here!" one of the bandits yelled.Li Jie only chuckled more, unfazed by their threats."How abou

"You survived after all." Li Jie stepped closer to the bandit."Now, tell me clearly—where is your hideout?" he continued."If I tell you the location, will you spare me?""I promise I won’t kill you. You have my word.""Alright, I’ll tell you."Despite the pain from his torn arm, the bandit pointed in the direction of the Forest of Death Bandits’ hideout."I’ve told you the location. As per your promise, you must let me go.""Wait…! I have one more question. Why is this village completely deserted?" Li Jie asked."We killed them all because they resisted us," the bandit replied.Li Jie clenched his fists, suppressing his rage. He then turned to Hong Li and nodded.Sensing danger, the bandit quickly shouted at Li Jie, "Didn’t you promise not to kill me?!""I won’t stain my hands with your blood. But I can’t speak for him.""You bastard! You tricked me!" the bandit screamed before death claimed him.Hong Li raised his sword and swiftly slashed the bandit's neck. His head rolled on the
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR Battle in the Bandit Village
"So after this village, we'll be entering the Death Forest?" Li Jie asked, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings. He noticed many people openly staring at them, while others observed from the shadows."That's right, Li Jie. So what now? Should we stay here or continue our journey?""We stay for now. I'm curious about this village. Too many people are watching us, and from the way they look at us, I can tell they have ill intentions. Be prepared for the worst, Hong Li!" Li Jie replied, his gaze locking onto more than a dozen men approaching them. Each held a weapon, their sharp blades gleaming menacingly."Where are you from, and what do you want in this village?" demanded a man at the front. His tone carried clear hostility."Do we need permission to go wherever we want? Do we have to report to you first?""You brat...! How dare you talk back to me? Do you even know who you're dealing with? Hahaha!"The man’s laughter was echoed by his companions."I've heard that most of the men i
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR Death Forest Bandit Hideout
"Retreat to the main hideout...!" shouted the bandit leader of the village."No matter where you run, I will find you—even in the nostrils of an ant!" Li Jie roared.He raised his sword high. In the next instant, dozens of white streaks of light shot from his blade, chasing after the bandits fleeing from him.Unbeknownst to them, those streaks of light pursued their targets relentlessly, refusing to let go. One by one, their bodies collapsed as the beams pierced through them, claiming their lives in an instant.Hong Li swallowed hard. He had no way of measuring the true extent of Li Jie's power. Every technique the young warrior unleashed had devastating effects."How did you acquire such techniques, Li Jie? Where did you train?" Hong Li asked."I’ll tell you later. Right now, we need to rid this village of any remaining bandits," Li Jie replied.Neither of them realized that two bandits had successfully escaped. The two survivors sprinted toward the Death Forest, rushing to the main
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR Approaching the Death Forest Bandit Hideout
Some villagers also went into the forest to gather firewood. Their purpose was clear—burning the corpses was the fastest solution compared to burying them. Most of those helping in the process were women, whose strength would not be enough to dig graves for all the bodies.Once all the corpses were gathered in one place, they were covered with an abundance of firewood. Several villagers then set the wood ablaze, and soon, a massive fire roared to life.A woman, who already knew who Li Jie was, hesitated as she walked toward the young warrior. When she finally reached him, she gathered the courage to speak."Forgive me, Grand Commander... If you wish, you may stay at my house tonight. You can resume your mission in the morning."Li Jie frowned. How did this woman know his identity as the Grand Commander of the Song Dynasty? He turned to Hong Li, who stood beside him. "Why did you tell her?"Hong Li chuckled softly. "So they under
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR Meeting at the Song Dynasty
The two of them then dashed forward toward the bandits' headquarters.While sprinting at full speed, Li Jie wasted no time and unleashed two fireballs from his palms. The fireballs shot forward at incredible speed, striking down dozens of bandits at once.A follow-up wave of fireballs was launched three more times, completely shattering the enemy’s formation. The handsome young man didn’t want to give them a chance to regroup, so he repeatedly executed his Demon Fireball technique.Dozens of Death Forest Bandits, their bodies engulfed in flames, ran around in agony. Their screams were haunting. Some rolled on the ground, desperately trying to extinguish the fire on their bodies, but their efforts were in vain. In the end, they perished, their bodies charred beyond recognition.The swift assault caught Gao Ling off guard. He had been overconfident, believing that

"We must unite to attack the Shang Dynasty Palace!" shouted Emperor Sin Jinhao of the Tong Dynasty."That's right, we must unite. We will destroy the Shang Dynasty!" responded Emperor Fang Yun of the Han Dynasty.Voices of agreement filled the discussion hall of the Song Dynasty palace. Everyone expressed their approval to join forces in attacking the Shang Dynasty.Suddenly, the five emperors fell silent and turned toward the entrance of the hall. A soldier entered after saluting all the rulers present."What is it, soldier?" asked Emperor Liu Zun."There is a guest from the Shang Dynasty Palace outside, Your Majesty," the soldier replied softly."Who?""The Grand Commander, Your Majesty."Emperor Liu Zun was taken aback by this report. Why would the Grand Commander suddenly appear at his palace during a meeting with the other emperors? He suspected that someone among them had betrayed their cause."Are yo

The Healer“No need, Your Majesty. Let me go instead. Perhaps the other kings would also like to see the prince's condition, and we can go together.”Emperor Liu Zun looked at the four other emperors present. They nodded their heads in agreement.“Let’s go, My Lord.” Emperor Liu Zun stood up and walked out of the hall. Behind him, Li Jie and Hong Li followed. The four other emperors trailed behind them.Before long, they arrived at a chamber and entered.Inside, Prince Liu Eng lay helplessly on the bed. A middle-aged woman, a beautiful young lady, and the royal physician were also present, tending to the prince.“Commander, let me introduce you to my wife, Mei Shin. And this is my daughter, Mei Hwa, Prince Liu Eng’s younger sister.”Li Jie smiled and nodded at the two women Emperor Liu Zun had just introduced. “My name is Li Jie, Your Majesty.&

Apology
Liu Zixuan sat in silence, her head bowed. Her tears began to flow again as she listened to Li Jie’s words. She could no longer count how many hearts she had hurt with her terrible behavior.“How long can a person live in this world? Will they live forever?”Liu Zixuan slowly shook her head.“If you’ve come to your senses, then change your attitude and behavior. And now, I’ll take you home,” Li Jie concluded.Unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes watched them from afar. A faint smile formed on the face hidden beneath a bamboo hat.After helping Liu Zixuan mount Ireng’s back, Li Jie leapt up with ease. He then spurred his horse forward, following the path toward the palace of the Tang Dynasty.Liu Zixuan, struggling to sit in front, eventually moved to the back. She wrapped her arms tightly around Li Jie as the horse galloped swiftly.On the third day, they finally arrived at the gates of t
The Man in the Bamboo Hat
"It looks like we've got ourselves a very special catch today, boys! A beautiful goddess sent down just for us. Look at that body... so firm and full. I'm sure we'll be more than satisfied enjoying her!" one of them said."Let’s just hope she’s strong enough to serve us all, hahaha!" another one replied."Judging by her figure, I bet she's still a virgin. How about we draw lots to see who gets to take her virginity first?" said a slightly chubby man. "But first, let’s catch her!"The beautiful girl was clearly not ready for the situation she was facing. Yesterday, she had been kidnapped by members of the Black Peak Sect for ransom, but this time, it was different. These six men were burning with lust to lay their hands on her."Don't come any closer or I'll scream!""Scream all you want, pretty girl! There’s no one else here but us. You'd better obey, and we can all enjoy a piece of heaven together!" said a tal

"I still have a lot to do! I’ll take you out of this forest. After that, you can find your own way to your father's palace!" Li Jie replied."If you’re asking for payment to guide me, just tell me how much you want. Once we arrive, I’ll ask my father to pay you."Li Jie stopped walking. He turned around and looked at the girl's beautiful face."So, you still haven’t learned to appreciate others, have you? Do you think everything can be measured with wealth? Do you even realize that your father’s riches and power mean nothing in this place!?"The beautiful girl fell silent and lowered her gaze. Slowly, warm tears trickled down from the corners of her long lashes. Never in her life had anyone raised their voice at her. She had always been pampered in luxury by her parents.And now, in front of her, the only young man she hoped could lead her back to safety, had spoken so harshly—yet awakened her at the same time."Do you think your tears will soften my heart and make me help you? Don’t
Heading to the Tang Dynasty
Some members of the sect moved forward to attack Li Jie. Others, thinking more rationally, ran away from the place. They didn’t want to die in vain. Seeing four of their comrades die so easily was proof enough that they stood no chance. Especially against a young man capable of hurling fireballs to attack them.An unbalanced battle ensued. One by one, the sect members were killed and burned by the searing claws Li Jie unleashed upon them. The members of the Black Peak Sect were unable to withstand the deadly assaults.Screams of pain and death echoed repeatedly. It didn’t take long for Li Jie to wipe out all the sect members who had dared to attack him. They died at his hands, their bodies charred to ashes.Li Jie let out a long breath after finishing off the last living member of the sect. As for those who had fled, he made no effort to chase them. Instead, he focused on searching for any valuables that might still be left inside the now-deserted sect compound.After thoroughly check
The Death of Duke Yu Zun
But an unexpected and ridiculous incident caused Duke Yu Zun to fall flat on his back. His backward step had tripped over the charred corpse of a member of the Black Peak Sect.The tall and burly man cursed incoherently. Before he could get up, the young man who had become his greatest nightmare was already standing nearby."Forgive me, Prince! I surrender!" Duke Yu Zun knelt down with both hands clasped in front of his face.Li Jie gave a cynical smile at the sight of the frightened face. Before he could speak, Emperor Sin Jinhao suddenly rushed forward and swung his sword at Duke Yu Zun’s neck."Arghhhh!"The strike from Emperor Sin Jinhao was so strong that it severed Yu Zun’s head clean from his body."He doesn’t deserve to live, Prince. His crimes are beyond forgiveness!"Li Jie let out a heavy sigh. He actually had the same thought as Emperor Sin Jinhao, but he had intended to extract more information about Yu Zun’s allies before killing him."It’s fine, Your Majesty. I understa
The Final Attack
At the same time, Duke Yu Zun and Li Shimin lunged toward the young man, using the same technique as before. They were still curious about Li Jie's ability to expel poison from his body so quickly. Both of them thought to combine their venomous power to defeat the young man.Unlike the previous two strikes, this time Li Jie did not allow his body to become the target of their blows. Using the Flaming Dragon Claw technique, he charged straight at their attacks.The first clash of their opposing energies produced a muffled explosion. The two enemies were forced several steps back, while Li Jie remained firmly in place without moving an inch.Not only were they pushed back, but parts of the clothes worn by Duke Yu Zun and Li Shimin were also burned.“He’s not our match, Elder. I think he truly did defeat Elder Datuk Sesat,” said Duke Yu Zun. Doubt began to creep into his heart. Doubt that he could win against this young man standing before him.“Shall we stick to the original plan, Sir?”
The Insult of Duke Yu Zun
Li Jie simply smiled and stepped four paces forward. "Your Majesty, assist the soldiers in dealing with the sect members I’ve already crushed. These two are mine.""Very well, Prince," replied Emperor Sin Jinhao.The emperor’s respectful tone toward Li Jie left Duke Yu Zun confused. Before the emperor of the Tong Dynasty could walk away, Yu Zun shouted at him."Where do you think you're going, Sin Jinhao? We’re not finished yet!""Now that Prince Li Jie is here, you’ll be dealing with him!""Who is this snot-nosed boy that you show so much respect to?" asked Yu Zun, baffled.Emperor Sin Jinhao didn’t answer right away. He glanced at the handsome young man beside him."Just tell him, Your Majesty. So he won’t die full of curiosity," said Li Jie.The emperor nodded."This is Prince Li Jie, Supreme Commander and heir to the throne of the Shang Dynasty. Since you’ve caused trouble within the Shang Dynasty’
The Battle at the Luhan Duchy
"Who are you, and why are you blocking His Majesty from entering the Luhan Duchy!?" a head soldier barked."By order of Duke Yu Zun, no one is allowed to enter the Luhan Duchy, not even the Emperor himself!" replied a man dressed entirely in black. The sword in his hand was drawn, signaling he was ready for battle."Duke Yu Zun is not the ruler of the Tong Dynasty! You've made a serious mistake!""I don't care if you're from the palace. Anyone who dares to enter Luhan Duchy—we will eliminate them!"Hearing faint commotion from outside, Emperor Sin Jinhao turned to one of his soldiers and asked, "Soldier, what is the disturbance outside?""Forgive me, Your Majesty. We are not allowed to enter Luhan Duchy. A group assigned by Duke Yu Zun is guarding the gates."The Emperor frowned with rage. "Who are they?""Judging by their uniforms, they appear to be
Rebellion
That night passed, and morning came.Meanwhile, the three soldiers who had been ordered to arrest Duke Yu Zun finally arrived at the Luhan duchy after traveling all night without rest."Forgive us, Lord Duke... His Majesty has commanded you to appear at the palace!" said one of the soldiers while showing the royal seal given by Emperor Sin Jinhao."What is the matter that His Majesty summoned me for? And how did you end up at the palace?" asked Duke Yu Zun, curious."We were caught extorting protection money from the people, my Lord. After that, His Majesty ordered us to bring you to the palace to take responsibility for what you commanded the soldiers to do."The tall, burly duke immediately stood and put on a fierce expression. His anger surged upon hearing the news."If I refuse, what will you do? What will that foolish emperor do to me!?""We will take you to the palace by force!" one of the soldiers replied."Hahaha... The three of you want to take me? Have you suddenly grown bra
