The Legendary King Of War Returns 0254: He Orchestrated It All!
"I heard someone declare loudly that the Sacred Shadow sect is full of waste and trash. That the entire sect will be massacred today. Which one of you was it?" Kian asked the three men with a faint smile that didn't hide his murderous intent. His voice was like thunder, echoing in Brax and his disciples' ears like the man was standing right in front of them. They trembled and their faces turned deathly pale.Kian waited for a minute but received no response. He tapped a foot on the ground, the sound it made hammered against their chests fearfully."Which one of you was it?" He repeated his question calmly.The disciples shuddered and instinctively wanted to point at Brax but they didn't dare do so. However Brax himself attempted to speak, "I... I... I..."The undeniable pressure weighed down on him heavily and he couldn't say a complete sentence. It was almost difficult to even breathe properly."So, I assumed it must have been you," Kian's eyes narrowed at him. "No, I... I... Didn'
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0255: No Respect For The Alliance
Brax trembled in fury. How dare these two traitors snitch on him?! He took them like his own and trained them personally. But at a time like this, not only did they throw him under the bus, they also completely rattled him out.These two traitors! Bastards! Rogues! Jerks! Rascals! Brax cursed the two disciples groveling in front of Kian over and over. But as much as he so badly wanted to charge forward and snap their necks, he dared not make a single move in front of Kian.Gasps rang from the disciples of the Sacred Shadow sect watching from the side and they began to murmur amongst themselves."From the very first day I met Brax, I always knew he was up to no good!""Humph! Those little sects daring to look down on our sect like this. They really ask for death!""Even if our master is not in a good health condition, does that give them the guts to act so recklessly? We are still one of the top sects of the Alliance. They clearly do not have any respect for our master or the Alliance
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0256: No Longer An Option
Each of the disciples' swords weighed more than a hundred pounds. The first disciple just now had swung and thrusted the sword with all a lot of strength. Just the force behind the attack alone must have made the weapon weigh over a thousand pounds!But Kian simply waded off the attack with his fingers. The people present were astonished. The courtyard was filled with silence.Even though everyone knew already that an ordinary martial warrior was no match for Kian, witnessing it first-hand was still stupefying. His effortless move to block the disciple's strong strike filled them with awe and was breathtaking. Not only them, even Wesley who has accompanied Kian for years looked at the latter with admiration.From the moment the disciples attempted to attack Kian until now, only a few minutes had passed. Brax was now at the gate getting ready to escape. Kian's eyes darted to the man scurrying away and clicked his tongue. He raised his fingers and gestured them to the left side fierce
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0257: An Unknown Backer
"Ugh!" The second disciple groaned as a dagger pierced through his right eyeball—an attack he never saw coming. He barely had time to make a sound before his body collapsed lifelessly to the ground.At last, the courtyard fell into a deathly silence. However, someone whispered in shock a few seconds later, "I've witnessed many execution scenes in my life but I have never seen any as brutal as this!"Some time later, the deceased bodies had been carried out of the courtyard as they were an eyesore. Apart from the lingering pungent scent of blood, everything had returned to normal.The disciples of the Sacred Shadow sect had also resumed their duties and dispersed after recovering from their shock. Meanwhile, Augustus Vane led Kian and Wesley into his house.After watching them eat and drink for a while, the middle-aged man could no longer hold himself back and directly called out to Kian, "Boy, you came back to seek revenge on the aristocratic Blackwood family right?"Augustus knew Kia
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0258: No Combat Skill
Kian's brows arched. More than ten supreme martial sages were hired by those people but not one was even among the registered martial artists in the city. Strange!Augustus Vane's brows also furrowed as he continued, "Just think of that. Where do you think and how do you think the Blackwood's family managed to hire so many supreme martial sages?"Kian fell into a deep pause. But he clearly didn't have an answer. After all, the incident they were discussing happened before he was born. He wasn't even at the scene to experience it first-hand like the older man.While he was pondering, Augustus suddenly spoke again, "Before I forget, Kian, there was something else I noticed."Kian raised his head in surprise. There's more? His unasked question was affirmed by a nod from Augustus. "Apart from those people with questionable and unknown backgrounds, I also noticed some strange traits.""Like what?""First of all," Augustus raised a finger. "The internal energy emanating from them that day w
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0259: Unforgivable Offense
"Uncle, I don't understand. If they were so powerful, surely they should have been able to wipe everyone out with just a strike," Kian stroked his chin.The meal on the table was completely forgotten. However, Wesley was continuously eating to his heart content. He might be intrigued by Kian and Augustus' conversation but he was famished."Yes, they should," Augustus nodded, looking confused himself. "But they couldn't. It was almost like a bunch of kids wielding and playing around with heavily dangerous weapons but having no clue what to do with them. Just like a group of amateur fighters."Augustus presented an assessment that was gathered from his years of investigation. He looked up at Kian and grinned slightly, "Then, although it was difficult and we lost lives, we managed to take them down in the end."Recollecting the scene all those years, Augustus' grin widened. Taking on so many high level martial artists who were around the same rank as him back then was a great achievement
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0260: I Have Faith In You
"If that person indeed decides to mobilize supreme masters of martial arts, even if they are lacking in combat skills, they will still be formidable opponents." Augustus Vane’s expression turned grave as he spoke. "So we can't take any risks. At least until we find out the background of the other person, it's inadvisable to act rashly."Kian nodded, lowering his head in thought. He understood Augustus' concerns well. This was the exact reason he had come to the capital city—to uncover the truth behind what really transpired between his parents and the Blackwood family all those years ago.Otherwise, why would he go to such lengths to conceal his identity, choosing instead to travel as Wesley’s chauffeur and bodyguard? If it were merely about revenge, wouldn't it have been simpler to reveal himself as the legendary King of War and annihilate everyone involved?Augustus exhaled, relieved to see Kian's agreement. "It's good that you’re willing to listen to me. But what do you plan to do

"I must say Kian, you have really grown. I'm so proud of you," Augustus grinned as he patted Kian's back. "Back then, I used to fantasize with Doug on how we were going to treat you when you were born. I was looking forward to a particular moment. The time you would wet your bed and I would try to rescue you from your parents as a good godfather."Kian's jaws almost dropped at Augustus' words. Wesley on the other hand choked, trying to hold back his laughter."Cough! Cough!"He used to think the general was the most flawless person in the world but just thinking that the general might have also wet the bed when he was younger was hilarious."Ahem," Kian cleared his throat and stroked his nose, feeling embarrassed. "Uncle, what are you saying? I don't have any memories of wetting the bed or my pants.""Look at you," Augustus laughed. "How would you remember? You must have been so young then. Listen, Doug used to wet his pants when we were younger so I expect nothing less from you."Ki

0322: Should Never Have Underestimated Him
At this time, Kian had already staggered to the edge of the ring when he was hit with another fierce strike from Ambrose Darkmore. The blade slashed through his back and tore through his robe, revealing a trail of bloody line."Ugh!" He spewed a mouthful of blood and breathed laboriously. He was already critically injured. Seeing him in this state, Silas Nightingale was overjoyed and charged forward. "Keep it up! He's already at the end of his wits!"Ambrose Darkmore and the other elders were also delighted. They prepared to strike again and give Kian the final blow. Feeling the terrifying gusts of wind swirling around him, Kian arched a bloodied eyebrow. After being attacked for the nth time, he was now utterly battered. This act has been on for too long, it's time to put an end to it.So this time, he stood firm on the spot and didn't dodge. Panting heavily, he waited for Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore and the other elders to close in on him. To the spectators, it appeared
0321: Could He Be Putting On An Act?
The central square was in a somber atmosphere. The crowd's emotions stirred because of Roland. But Wesley, who the show was for, simply looked at the middle-aged man speechlessly.He couldn't help but ponder, 'Did the general hire this old man to play this dramatic role and add more fuel to the fire? Why is he performing so enthusiastically?'In the ring, Kian, who was supposedly beaten to the brink of death, felt his face twitch severally. 'Who is this person that's acting so dramatic? I didn’t hire anyone...'Even the facial expressions of Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore, and the other elders in the ring changed. They threw Roland grim looks and scoffed,"Why are you shouting so dramatically? Are you really so sad?!"If one didn't know better, they would have mistook Kieran for Roland's first son with the way he was wailing.Everyone knows the presence of Harrington's family at the square today was to recruit powerful martial artists for their family, but even if Kieran dies at
0320: Crying Over Spilled Milk
BANG!BANG!BANG!Just as Kian was about to tumble out of the ring in a bloody mess, Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore, and the other elders struck him again. Two of them dragged him back to the center of the ring, leaving behind a large trail of blood, which made the hearts of the spectators bleed even more.They didn't stop there and immediately pounced on him. Within the few minutes that they began their assault, Kian was already drenched in blood. He looked motionless and utterly defeated.Meanwhile, at the area that had been designated for the Dark Legion sect, which was now occupied by the representatives of the aristocratic Harrington's family, Roland Harrington was seething furiouslyHe was on the edge and visibly frustrated. At any rate, the masked man will obviously not survive! How could he lose a gem when he just found it? His eyes instinctively trailed from the ring to the section in the tent of the Sacred Shadow sect where Wesley was sitting. At this point, he couldn
0319: Their Beloved Hero
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
0318: The Votes Result
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
0317: Underhanded Tactics
"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
0316: Eager To Meet Their Ancestors
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
0315: If The Former Leader Was Alive...
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
0314: The Real Top Tier Forces
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
