Bugh...

Bugh...

Bugh...

 

"Get up! You useless young man!"

 

"Mercy, uncle teacher! Give me one chance to defend this sect; I've gone through a lot to establish this sect, teacher!"

 

Bugh...

Braggg...

 

"Destroy! Destroy this sect! Don't let them live in peace; if possible, expel that young man from Huanyian City!" The shouts of the entire local community drove them away.

 

"Destroy that martial arts warehouse! Destroy the Zheming sect!" The teacher's uncle shouted so loudly.

 

"Don't...!"

 

Xiang Zhe could only resign himself to seeing the martial arts warehouse that he had worked so hard to build now being destroyed by the local people. They wanted to replace the Zheming Sect with the Beiyuan Sect as the leader of Huanyian City.

 

Xiang Zhe was unable to stop the reckless actions of the people and troops from the Beiyuan sect; they not only dispersed the Zheming sect members, but the entire martial arts warehouse building was now reduced to rubble. It was heartbreaking to see hard work destroyed in the blink of an eye, shattering all of Xiang Zhe's hopes and dreams.

 

"Get this trashy young man out of here! Don't let that strange swordsman stay, because we don't want Huanyian City to be tainted by his presence!" Shouts of expulsion filled Xiang Zhe's ears.

 

His patience had run out, and his anger peaked. Xiang Zhe pulled a sword from under his robe, and in one fell swoop, he slashed three Beiyuan sect members' hands off.

 

Suddenly, the action made them cheer in shock. The entire Beiyuan sect gathered to make a retaliatory attack on Xiang Zhe.

 

"How dare you hurt my members? Have you never experienced a seizure without touch?!" Liangyuan asked, holding back his anger.

 

"You guys saw for yourselves how upright the young man who is the leader of this city is. What will happen if he continues to rule here? Will one by one the people be definitely eliminated by this young king of hearts?"

 

"All this time, we thought that you were a responsible and kind young man. We believed that you were the protector of this city, but what is the truth? We have wrongly entrusted our children to you."

 

"It's only right that the Zheming sect be disbanded and that young man be banished from the city!" The people said:.

 

Suddenly, those who heard this shouted their approval. The push for Xiang Zhe's expulsion grew stronger, making Liangyuan smile with satisfaction.

 

"The truth will definitely come out! Whoever hurts will be hurt; we'll see who wins!" Xiang Zhe casually shrieked while wiping the blood off his sword.

 

"Insolent! Finish him off! Don't let murderers live!"

 

The entire army charged at Xiang Zhe, many relying on their weapons. The sheer number of opponents compared to one person made Xiang Zhe feel a bit difficult to control the situation, but the great thing about his ancestral sword was that it gave off a mysterious energy that made it great.

 

His energy became more and more uncontrollable as time passed, not caring about anyone's life. He wiped out all the troops and people in Huanyian City. There was almost nothing left. His anger is getting blind; he has dark eyes and a dark heart. The pain in his heart made him heartless towards his fellow humans.

 

Sringg...

Sring...

Sraggg....

 

His extraordinary swordplay took all the lives of the townspeople who had gathered to chase him away. Until the last attack ended up hitting Liangyuan, the first attack hit the chest, and the second attack paralyzed the neck, piercing the vein, leaving fresh blood fountaining so heavily that the young man collapsed to the ground in the middle of a swarm of corpses.

 

"My reply to all of you who have destroyed the sect that I worked so hard to build. Building the trust of others and convincing them that I was capable of being a good leader. But in the blink of an eye, you destroyed all of my hard work; you deserve all of this!" He said as he stuck the sword into one of the oldest people in Huanyian City.

 

**

 

Braakkk...

Braakkk...

 

"Aarrgghtt...!"

 

"There's nothing to save; they're so intent on destroying my martial arsenal."

 

Xiang Zhe stared disappointedly at the reflection in the mirror. His face was bruised, and sharp object cuts dotted his face. With a sharp gaze full of hatred, Xiang Zhe's life is really messed up right now.

 

"The martial arts warehouse has been destroyed by the Zheming sect. The dream that was briefly realized is that there is nothing I can hope for in this world but to perish along with my hard work and dreams." Xiang Zhe said as he drove the sixth nail into his right chest.

 

Just as Xiang Zhe was about to drive in the seventh nail, two warriors shouted from outside to fend off Xiang Zhe's hands. Suddenly, it made him instantly fall silent with a blank look.

 

"Uncle teacher, please don't do that!"

 

"If you've only come to organize me, you'd better get out of here right now!" Xiang Zhe said it coldly.

 

The two warriors grabbed both of Xiang Zhe's hands, begging him not to continue the action.

 

"Uncle I beg you to stop; let's continue this fight; we will be loyal servants of Uncle Master Xiang," he said.

 

"Where are you hiding? Why don't you die with them?"

 

"Our uncle-"

 

Sring.

 

The two of them swallowed hard as a sharp sword came out of its place. The sword that had taken the lives of all the residents of Huanyian city.

 

"Build a new sect if you want, but I swear to my death that I will not continue my struggle here. I will still leave this city because it is your wish!" He was firm and cold.

 

"Now that they are gone, we continue this struggle, uncle. No one has the right to disturb us; please do not disband this sect. I will go with you wherever you go," he said pleadingly.

 

Xiang Zhe smiled fiercely. "Why continue this sect? They're gone; who are you going to lead?"

 

"What a waste of time!" Xiang Zhe said as he got up from his seat.

 

Xiang Zhe walked away, leaving the two warriors behind. He also carried the seventh nail that was kept in the red bag. Before walking away, he hid the sword in the container behind his back. He passed by the corpses that were scattered in front of the destroyed martial arts warehouse. He looked intently at the city that had been destroyed along with its inhabitants, the hurt and resentment still burning inside.

 

"This city has perished in my hands. My struggle in this city is over. I will continue my life by traveling. Fight to be free from this curse!" He said.

 

But a few steps away, a swarm of swords suddenly confronted him. The slightest movement, and he would have been impaled by the sharp objects.

 

"A murderer doesn't deserve to go unaccounted for!"

 

"I give up my life for you!"

Xiang Zhe said it coldly.The young man chuckled softly as he got up from his seat. He moved closer to Xiang Zhe."Tsk! Don't take life so seriously. Remember, this is just a world full of games. Just live your life casually and jokingly so you don't grow old too quickly." His chirp unconsciously made Xiang Zhe glare sharply at the young man."Dare you insult me?"The young man shook his head in fear.While Xiang Zhe chose to leave the young man, it was only a few steps before the young man followed him from behind, interrupting Xiang Zhe's journey. It annoyed him and stopped his steps."Tsk! Why do you keep following me? There's no other way to get to your destination."The young man shook his head. "I have no destination; I want to come with you!""Tsk! No! I don't want to! You'll only trouble me later. Get out of my way quickl

    The smell of herbs being boiled in an earthen container wafted through the cave through the stone walls. Beside the large container, a young man was busy sorting out the herbs while inserting one by one the leaves as listed in the recipe book in front of him. "Soon the potion will be finished; prepare to enjoy this delicious potion!" She screeched as she stirred the potion in the large container. "Call the damn insects here! I want them to deliver this potion immediately to the big cities!" He ordered the young man who was his assistant. It wasn't long before a swarm of insects arrived with their army. The insects drank the potion until they salivated, which was believed to be able to destroy others because of the poison contained in it. The potion was not just any potion; it was a poison concocted with dangerous ingredients. "Hahaha! Just wait until last night. I'm sure they will be wiped out, and there will be no sects in this world. Only witchcraft wins!" He shrieked with satis

    "Xiang Zhe? Are you sure this cave is safe?" "I hope it's safe. This is the last cave we encountered; there are no more caves around here. I am very confident that I will find a clue here," Xiang Zhe said very confidently. Yuanying and Xiang Zhe are now inside the third cave after overcoming various obstacles and uncovering a secret. Xiang Zhe confidently enters the cave along with Yaunying. They probe deeper into the area, but it's as quiet as they get.The pungent smell of stone stung their sense of smell, plus there was no lighting at all inside, making it a little difficult for them to find their way."It looks like this cave is uninhabited. Unlike the previous cave, which was full of strange creatures," Xiang Zhe said as he explored the area. While Yuanying chose to scatter to find her own way, she soon came across a room that she found unfamiliar. "Oh my! Xiang Zhe! Come here!" She screamed in a low but firm voice. Xiang Zhe quickly ran over to Yuanying. He squinted his eye

    Boomm...Traazz."What are you doing?" "Hahahaha! There you guys are; it looks like you two want to meet the same fate as that old man." The young man named Wueyang returned to Xiang Zhe and Yuanying along with his troops. The insects that Xiang Zhe destroyed came back to life and released a dangerous poison in their saliva. "Wueyang, what is your purpose in wiping out the entire sect that you locked up innocent grandpa Yhuxuan here? Let him go!" The young man smiled wryly as he looked at Xiang Zhe with a cynical gaze that held a grudge within it. "Even if I die, I won't let him go. After this, you two will be the victims of these insects." He screeched in a stern tone. The ember attack almost hit Wueyang, but unfortunately, the young man quickly dodged. The young man grabbed Xiang Zhe's wrist using the rope he was holding. This rope had power in it that could break his wrist right now. "There is no longer any meaning for you to live in the world. Your existence is no longer wan

    This morning was Xiang Zhe's last day in the cave. The two of them plan to resume their mission of uncovering their dark past today, but before leaving, Xiang Zhe plans to free Yhuxuan's grandfather first and then take him to his residence. For two hours, the two of them tried to free Yhuxuan's wrist hooks, but it seems that the hooks had energy resistance within them that originated from Wueyang, making them very difficult to break. But Xiang Zhe couldn't give up so easily; he still tried his best to help his grandfather. Even though he had to unite two Yuanying forces at once, he was still unable to break through the defense of the power of the infernal chain. "Aarrgghtt!!! The power has been sealed by Wueyang; it seems like it will be useless if we continue to force ourselves to open it." "Xiang Zhe, I think we should ask Wueyang to break this seal. Let's face all the risks together for Yhuxuan's grandfather!" He said it solemnly. But the grandfather immediately stopped Yu

    They buried Yhuxuan's grandfather's body in the valley beside the cave where Yhuxuan's grandfather was tortured. It was with a heavy heart that Xiang Zhe left the wet grave. The feeling of sadness is still painful at this moment, but the struggle begins now. He had to rise up to fulfill his father and grandfather's wishes after getting all the clues. Just as they breathed a sigh of relief coming out of the valley, they were suddenly attacked by a horde of strangers, causing a huge battle. Xiang Zhe was surprised by the presence of the strangers, but he was able to control the situation. The fight lasted for the first five rounds—not easy against fifty people at once. The battle for power came to a halt when one of the warriors made a sneaky move to absorb Xiang Zhe's energy, causing him to suddenly weaken. "Hahaha!!! Xiang Zhe, do you think you've won? You won't be able to escape me forever! For one thing, your strength won't be able to kill me." Liangyuan emphasized. He frowned in

    As Xiang Zhe and Yuanying journeyed further along their path, a shadow of doubt began to creep into their minds, sowing seeds of uncertainty and conflict. They had embarked on their quest in search of power, believing it to be the key to overcoming their personal struggles and achieving greatness. However, as they delved deeper into their journey, they couldn't help but question the true nature of the power they sought and whether it was worth the sacrifices they were making.Sitting by the campfire one evening, the crackling flames casting flickering shadows on their faces, Xiang Zhe voiced his inner turmoil. "Yuanying, do you ever wonder if the power we seek is truly worth pursuing? Are we chasing after something that will ultimately bring us happiness and fulfillment, or are we merely chasing an illusion?"Yuanying furrowed her brow, her eyes reflecting the flickering firelight as she considered his words.

It had been a journey of discovery, growth, and profound transformation. Yet, as they gazed into the rippling waters, a question lingered in their minds: should they continue on this path, or was it time to turn back?Xiang Zhe broke the silence, his voice soft yet resolute. "Yuanying, we've come so far on this journey, facing challenges and learning valuable lessons along the way. But now, as we stand at this crossroads, I find myself wondering: should we continue forward, or is it time for us to return home?"Yuanying looked thoughtful, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon.

It was said that he possessed profound wisdom and had the ability to illuminate the deepest truths about life.

    Once upon a time in a quaint village nestled between majestic mountains and lush green valleys, lived two young individuals named Xiang Zhe and Yuanying. The village was serene, its peace often interrupted only by the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves. Both Xiang Zhe and Yuanying were known for their curiosity and determination. However, their understanding of strength was vastly different. Xiang Zhe believed that strength lay in physical power and skill, while Yuanying thought that true strength came from wisdom and compassion.One sunny morning, the village elders called for a meeting in the central square. The air was filled with anticipation as everyone gathered, eager to hear what the elders had to say. The eldest of them, a wise man with a long white beard named Elder Meng, stepped forward."Villagers," Elder Meng began, his voice steady and authoritative, "our village is under threat from a group of bandits who have been terrorizing neighboring villages.

    Xiang Zhe stood before the large gate made of rusty iron. Behind the gate lay a storied martial arts warehouse, long a legend among fighters. Inside, a fabled artifact of immense power was said to be hidden. To obtain this artifact, Xiang Zhe would have to face the legendary creature guarding the warehouse.Xiang Zhe took a deep breath, feeling the adrenaline coursing through his veins. He had trained for years for this moment. With steadfast determination, he pushed the gate open.As Xiang Zhe stepped inside, the atmosphere within the warehouse felt silent and tense. In the center of the large room stood a towering stone statue. The statue depicted a dragon with scales that seemed almost lifelike. Xiang Zhe knew this was no ordinary statue.Cautiously, Xiang Zhe approached the statue. As he drew nearer, the statue's eyes suddenly glinted. A rumbling sound echoed, and the statue began to move.

His sharp eyes glowed with restrained fury. As one of the main disciples of the Yuntian Martial Arts School, he never forgot that dark night when the Beiyuan Sect attacked their martial arts warehouse. The assault claimed the lives of many fellow disciples and shattered the honor of his school.“The time has come,” Xiang Zhe murmured to himself. “Today, I will avenge everything.”He donned a black robe that blended seamlessly into the night. With determined steps, he moved toward the Beiyuan stronghold, relying on his martial arts skills to sneak in undetected. In his hand, a sword gleamed in the darkness, a sword inherited from his master who had perished in the attack.Upon reaching the entrance of the stronghold, Xiang Zhe confronted two guards.

They moved swiftly, wielding terrifying weapons, their faces obscured by mysterious masks.Apparently, these foreign warriors were mercenaries from the Bei Yuan sect, known for their brutality. They had long harbored a grudge against Xiang Zhe, desiring the total destruction of the wise leader who had long been a barrier to their evil ambitions.Among the warriors, one stood out—a tall, muscular man known as Zhang Feng, the leader of the Bei Yuan forces. He had eyes as sharp as an eagle's, and his smile was full of arrogance as he stepped forward.Meanwhile, in Xiang Zhe's palace, the atmosphere was tense as well.

The warehouse is filled with ancient books and historical weapons entrusted to her by her ancestors. However, the tranquility in the warehouse was disturbed when a new martial artist arrived in the small town where Yuanying resides.The new martial artist arrived mysteriously, without providing much explanation about his purpose or origin. Yuanying, who has a sharp instinct and is vigilant to any changes around her, immediately became suspicious of the presence of this martial artist.Yuanying's first suspicion arose when several valuable ancient books, including one owned by Xiang Zhe, a legendary martial artist, began to mysteriously disappear. Despite the warehouse being closely guarded by Yuanying, the new martial artist seemed to have the ability to come and go unnoticed.Yuanying began to piece together her thoughts.

    lost knowledge

    In a renowned martial arts sect high in the mountains, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, there were two very talented and dedicated disciples, Xiang Zhe and Yuanying. They were known as the brightest students in the sect, with exceptional martial arts skills and deep knowledge of the various martial arts manuals stored in the sect's repository.That morning, as usual, Xiang Zhe and Yuanying were training in the practice field behind the sect's main hall. The morning sunlight illuminated their faces full of spirit and determination. However, that day felt different; there was an unease hidden beneath their calm demeanor.After the training session ended, Xiang Zhe approached Yuanying with a serious expression. "Yuanying, we need to discuss something important. Let's go to the martial arts repository."Yuanying nodded, sensing the urgency in Xiang Zhe's voice. They both walked towards the martial arts repository located in the innermost part of the sect's complex, a place rare
