Revenge was a must but before that, Kian walked silently to two tombstones. With a low thud, he knelt down in front of the tombstone.

Just like the first time when he had come for a visit, he gently dusted off the sand particles on the tombstones.

"Dad... Mom," He called out lowly. "Your unfilial son has once again come for a visit. How have you been doing since the last time? Mom, did dad bully you again?"

His shoulders as he laughed, "What am I saying? Mom... Don't bully dad, okay? You promised... Look at me. I have been doing well these past few years. So you two don't worry about me."

"..."

Kian would reach out to touch the tombstones as he continued murmuring to himself for a long time. Everyone was silent as no one dared disturb him.

Finally, he said, "Today is your death anniversary. Mom, dad, do you remember the promise I made to you two the last time? Today... I will make the Grays and Sinclairs repent of their sins in front of you."

There was a grave silence. Kian didn't no

    "Innocent people?" Kian scoffed with an incredulous look. He laughed coldly and pointed at them, "Was my family not also innocent? What wrong did my parents do to you people?!"The woman and her son kept quiet, unable to refute his words. Kian ruffled his hair, giving them an icy glare. "You stand there and talk about innocent people to me. Do you think you are qualified to say that?" Kian laughed again. The sound sent chills down everyone's spine."The only mistake my family made was climbing up the ranks quickly. The only sin my parents committed was wanting to settle down in Valoria Prime city peacefully. But before you people were intimidated by our success and prosperity, you exterminated my family. How dare you stand in front of me and talk trash?!"The woman exchanged a look with her son and the latter scoffed, "Do you think your parents are so innocent? Everyone has a skeleton in their cupboard!"Magistrate Cody facepalmed. Will someone shut this stupid lad? Does he think he

    Just as everyone was wondering and trembling, Kian picked up his blade and walked towards the remaining people. Those who were killed by the arrows weren't worth his strength.The main family members were the people he was after and the first person he encountered on the way was the mute Anthony."Mmph!" Anthony retreated in fear and instinctively tried to speak but the only words that he could utter were incoherent. Kian didn't even spare him a glance as he raised his blade and swung it. Anthony's head immediately flew off and his body went still instantly. SPLAT!Blood splattered and the people behind screamed in horror again, "Ah!" Kian then continued walking forward without stopping.Alexander who was sitting on his wheelchair in a daze suddenly came to his senses. He trembled and screamed pleadingly, "No... Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"With a vicious expression, he pointed to the side, "I wouldn't have dared to touch Olivia. She came to me. She seduced me. She was also the o

    The calligraphy characters that appeared on the tombstones would be considered beautiful if the source of the ink wasn't so terrifying.After writing for some minutes, the blade finally halted and Kian stepped away from the tombstones. The original bare stones now seemed more lively with the deep red coloured inscriptions on them.[In the memory of my loving father, Doug Blackwood][In the memory of my loving mother, Selene Blackwood]When Kian finally put his blade away, it felt like a heavy load that had been weighing down heavily on his heart was suddenly lifted. He was filled with immense relief.Only a few minutes later did a hesitant voice call out to him, "Master Blackwood."He turned around and faced the imperial families. He had almost forgotten they were still there. He took in the sight of their ashen faces and realized how much of a shock they must have had but that wasn't his concern."Your big show is finally over. Thank you for accommodating us but can we leave now?" Or

    Everyone turned as a horrified voice shrieked from a phone. It was the one in the hands of Master Russell. The man whose son had been killed at the restaurant by Kian."Dad..." Seeing that his father's angry voice had drawn unwanted attention, Master Russell immediately tried to caution his father but the old man was fuming."That bastard! Just wait! I won't let him get away with this! I will kill him!"Everyone could clearly hear the old man's angry voice. Fear gripped the hearts of the imperial families for Master Russell when they watched Kian take a few steady steps forward.Master Russell himself trembled vigorously when he saw the cold smile on Kian's face as he wielded his long blade."Dad, don't speak so rashly!" He shouted into the phone anxiously. "Be careful of what you say!""Shut up!" His father thundered on the other side. "That lowlife dared to lay a hand on my grandson. He must die!""Dad!" Master Russell's fingers shook and he could barely hold up the phone."Kian, yo

    Kian withdrew his blade slowly. His facial expression was icy but he was trembling inwardly. He had known long ago that his parents' exile was not only related to the Blackwood's family but the imperial Sinclair's family also.However, it seemed there were other people involved and there was a possibility all these people could have contributed to his parents' deaths!Who else was involved? Were they more powerful than the imperial families of Cascadia? Why did they even scheme against his father and get his parents killed?Doug Blackwood was the last son of the Blackwood's family and didn't stand a chance of inheriting the family's fortune. Simply speaking, he wasn't as powerful as the other sons of the Blackwood's family so why did those people target him?Kian's mind was in a state of turmoil.

    Kian shook his head with a serious demeanor. "If you don't believe me, I can show you."None of them noticed how his hold on the blade handle tightened slightly. They only saw how his smile widened as he beckoned, "Come... I'll take you down to see it yourselves."Thorne and the other members of the imperial families exchanged a confused look. But as they pondered, the blade in Kian's hand suddenly moved swiftly. They were slow to comprehend what was happening and couldn't react on time.BLAT!Under everyone's horrified gaze, the head of the closest Russell's family member fell to the ground with a heavy thud. The head rolled to the feet of the imperial families and blood splattered all over them. "Ah!!!" Someone let out a fearful shriek. The other imperial families were however in a daze.

    Grimm and the other two elders who opposed the proposal had displeased and grim expressions on their faces. But Silas Nightingale paid them no attention. In his own opinion, the ten elders that chose to support his proposal and stand on his side were enough to completely defeat this masked man."Attack with no mercy!" Silas' eyes turned icy as he shouted fiercely. His words were a clear command to the other elders.Kill with no mercy!BOOM!Silas emanated a powerful murderous aura that was enough to make people tremble as he stormed towards Kian. He moved at such a lightning speed people could barely see his feet. Just then, something unexpected happened. Grimm had unsheathed his long sword and rushed down to the ring. The two other elders had also followed him down."Two of you, attack!" Grimm commanded in a low tone, brandishing his sword in the air.SWISH!The long blade surged forward and slashed at the throat of the nearest elder. The sound of slicing and piercing through fles

    Ambrose Darkmore thought long and hard before speaking. Eventually, he raised his grim face and said, "I agree with Silas' proposal."As soon as he spoke, a member of the Divine Sword sect immediately countered his decision, "Master, this is not right. It is inappropriate to—"Ambrose Darkmore's face darkened, and he snapped back in an icy tone without even allowing the man to complete his words, "Shut up! You have no right to question my decision!"The man's face turned red and shrunk back into his seat. He dared not speak anymore. Just then, another elder raised his hand. "I agree with Silas' proposal. It is time to elect a new leader for the alliance."Another elder with a huge scar nodded and raised his head. The scar on his face widened as he looked down at the ring. "Kieran is powerful. His injuries are certainly not that serious. They shouldn't affect him much.""Silas, I agree.""I also agree.""..."Each of the elders spoke one after the other, and soon, the voting results w

    "Silas, why go to such lengths?" Roland Harrington suddenly stepped forward with a dark face. "The alliance does need a new leader but why the sudden rush?"His words filled the hearts of many of Kian's new supporters with joy. They didn't expect that someone from the aristocratic Harrington's family would suddenly speak up for Kian.Not just someone. The patriarch of the family himself. At least, the aristocratic family also saw the injustice unfolding. Meanwhile, in the tent allocated to the members of the Sacred Shadow sect, Wesley had a strange expression on his face as he looked straight ahead at the middle-aged man who had just spoken up.It was strange indeed. The aristocratic Harrington's family was actually pleading for the general?!If the old man from the aristocratic Harrington's family knew that the person he was trying to plead for and win over was Kian Blackwood, the same person most if not all the aristocratic families wanted to eliminate...Would he stand there tall

    Slowly and gradually, voices rose in the square. Kian's previous performance had been so stunning. He had quickly captivated the hearts of many spectators. Now, there were a lot of people willing to support him and speak up for him. Even many disciples of the Heavenly Flame sect who were sitting behind Silas Nightingale had grim expressions, but no one spoke up.In the martial arts community, only strength is truly revered. Kian had already earned their respect through his actions. So, they were inadvertently dissatisfied with their leader's behavior. They looked at each other and began to whisper among themselves.Even if the elders see Kian as a threat and want to eliminate him, couldn't they have waited till Kian recovered, and then they could face him openly. "Silas, does it not seem a bit inappropriate to do this now?" Augustus Vane's facial expression had darkened as he questioned angrily. Even the members of the Sacred Shadow sect had all begun to glare at Silas. It wasn't

    While it may seem like the top aristocratic families of the Cascadia were equally powerful and reigning, only people at core positions like the patriarchs of the families including Roland knew the truth. The aristocratic Blackwood's family was not just the number one aristocratic family in Cascadia for nothing. They had long surpassed the other aristocratic families by a huge margin. Which was why even if some aristocratic families were offended with them regarding the attitude of that bastard from the Blackwood's family, they couldn't do anything much to harm the family. The patriarchs of all the aristocratic families also knew that it was only possible for the Blackwood's to be in this state because of the support of that mysterious force behind them. Roland Harrington had tried every means to extract information about those forces from the Blackwood's family. But that cunning old man, Mortimer Blackwood kept his mouth tightly short, refusing to reveal information about them

    Everyone could see Kian laughing carelessly and wiping the blood that was trickling down his mouth, but no one knew he was actually cursing inwardly. "Damn! If I knew acting was so exhausting, I would have asked Vivienne to give me some acting lessons," he mumbled to himself. With his physical strength alone, he could easily defeat Calvin and the other second tier leaders. Not only them, even if the elders of the council, including Silas Nightingale, Ambrose, and Grimm, decide to attack him simultaneously, he could still defeat them! After all, his martial arts level was that of a martial war god. A martial artist at the peak level of the war god was different from other levels and beyond human comprehension. But if this were to be revealed to the public, it would certainly cause uproar. Actually, Kian doesn't care if his identity is revealed to the elders of the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance Council or the aristocratic families of Cascadia. What he truly cares about is find

  • 0313: Master Is The Strongest

    The entire square was in utter silence. The whole elders council and the spectators were stunned speechless. At that moment, Silas Nightingale and other elders at the elders' council gathering felt more apprehensive towards Kian. A sense of fear slowly crept into their hearts. An overwhelming sense of fear. Martial arts training was just like studying. Its practitioners have their own advantages, disadvantages, specialities, strengths, and weaknesses. Some martial artists were excellent at attacking with fierce ferocity and strength, but their defenses always tend to be weak. Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore, and Grimm all belonged to that set of martial artists. On the other hand, some martial arts masters like several others in the elders' council were superb at defense, but their attacking abilities weren't so good. It was important to note that among the second tier leaders that Kian just killed, one of them was a sect leader who was revered for his defensive specialt

    THUD! THUD! THUD! The lifeless bodies of the first three second tier leaders that were used as sacrificial lambs were sent flying in different directions. The bodies hit the ground, and blood quickly pooled beneath them. At the same time, the remaining second tier leaders attacked. Punches, palm strikes, swords, and even a staff; all weapons channeled with powerful forces descended down on Kian. "So what if you are a martial arts prodigy?" Calvin laughed as he attacked. "Today, I'll bring you down on your knees and turn the tables—" Before he could even complete the word 'tables', the smile on his face froze. A horrifying realization dawned on him. Shouldn't Kian be bleeding from all the weapons and pleading for mercy now? How could the masked bastard still be looking at him tauntingly?! "Tsk! You foolish old man! You think you know it all," Kian clicked his tongue and spoke loud enough for only the second tier leaders to hear him. Calvin's eyes dilated at his words. His compan

    The remaining second tier leaders didn't hesitate to charge forward. They unleashed their full strength as they stormed towards Kian. The ring was big and wide but for these furious martial arts masters, closing the distance between them and Kian was easy. They moved swiftly, reaching him in a blink of an eye. SWOOSH! The sharp slice sounds in the air echoed as they threw their strongest punch, others kicks and some their weapons. At that moment, Calvin's eyes shone with a fierce glint. Just as he was reaching Kian, he slowed down his punch, twisted his body, extended a leg and delivered a powerful kick. BANG! BANG! BANG! The loud thud sounds resounded three times as the three closest second tier leaders to Kian including the female leader who had protested earlier were caught off guard and struck hard in the back! "Argh!" "Ah!" "Ugh!" They groaned consecutively and stumbled forward, directly into the path of Kian's spear! "Calvin, you old bastard!" "What are you doing
