Although he was only a worker disciple, Eadric Rong had an instinct that he was currently dealing with people with evil intentions. Accustomed to being bullied in the Wudang Sect, Eadric Rong correctly guessed these people had bad intentions.

Humeng, the leader of the four thugs, laughed. He walked over and stroked his bald head.

"Haha... you're an arrogant kid. Not the slightest courtesy to your elders. No greetings, you know how to answer haughtily, as if you're a young master of a renowned clan! Looking at the clothes you're wearing, I'm guessing you're just a mere worker disciple, claiming to be the sect's top disciple, thus obtaining a sword loan from young master Errol Hou!"

Humeng's words were quite long, but Eadric Rong could already guess the end of the question.

Eadric Rong mockingly replied, "Let's just say that the four of you want to loot this sword I bought on credit, right?"

Seeing the four thugs stunned as if their intentions had been guessed, Eadric Rong laughed mocki

    Currently, in front of Eadric Rong is an evenly colored green landscape.That's the Cloud Pine Forest.On the right side, visible in the distance, was the towering Wudang Mountain Range, where the Wudang Sect stood. On the left side, the Zhonglu Mountains, where the Zhonglu Sect exists, can faintly be seen.It's a long distance, but a line of tall trees joins the two mountains.The scent of pine leaves drifted in, filling his lungs as Eadric Rong entered the Pine Cloud Forest.A mystical and somber atmosphere immediately enveloped him. He felt small as he walked under the canopy of pine needles, which looked like a green tapestry."May fortune be on my side. I am in debt to my kind master. There's no way I can let down his trust in me!"Eadric Rong was determined to get his quarry, which was just one demonic creature, no matter what.When it was dusk and the sky was reddening, he didn't see any forest creatures, and disappointment set in."Am I unlucky again? Why hasn't a single demon

    The sun was already directly overhead, and Eadric Rong was getting further into the heart of the Pine Cloud Forest. Since he had obtained the Pearl Core and his cultivation level was at the late Jade Tiger Level, Eadric Rong's instincts had become sharp."I smell the scent of an approaching demonic creature. It looks like this is a demonic creature in the Shadowclaw Tier," Eadric Rong hissed happily.There are eight levels of power for demonic creatures. Shadowclaw is a sinister creature whose combat power is at the lowest level.GRRR!In front of Eadric Rong stood a shaggy wolf. It was jet black.The demonic creature was about two meters tall. Its eyes blazed like the light of a night star, while its mouth was open, displaying pointed teeth with dripping saliva."Black Wolf, Shadowclaw level!" hissed Eadric Rong smilingly.The Xingying sword was instantly unsheathed.Eadric Rong's face didn't look scared in the slightest. Instead, he spoke with a sinister expression on his face. "Com

    "Hey, kid! That's our demon creature. Ever since Zhonglu Mountain, we've been hunting that Demon Wolf! Now you can leave; let us finish our work to extract resources from that thing!"A twelve-year-old teenager, looking ruffled at the waist.He wore a white robe, the typical uniform of a disciple of the Zhonglu Sect. As one of the largest white sects, the Zhonglu and Wudang Sect played an essential role in the Xiao Yao Dynasty. Both sects were located in the Wriston (Moon River) Kingdom.The Zhonglu Sect does have a strong influence, but the Wudang Sect is the leader of the white sect.The boy laughed mockingly with an undeniably haughty tone. However, he was not alone. Two of his friends, the same age as him, stood behind him, giving him support by acting cocky. They laughed, the smiles seemingly mocking Eadric Rong.In the hands of the three, the Xingying Tier swords glittered sharply in the sunlight. They tried to bully Eadric Rong, joining the intimidation attack that flashed thro

    "I suggest it again! Go, leave this place. Otherwise, you'll regret it later!"In such a moment of warning, the sword held by Jesper Jiang had been filled with energy. Likewise, the swords carried by Sun Peng and Gao Jie were filled with pure air.Their swords were pointed at Eadric Rong. A thin white vapor could be heard surrounding their bodies.This was a sword art, the Elementary Level Sword Formation, which was the pride of the disciples in the Zhonglu Sect court.However, Eadric Rong remained calm."Even if the three of them use the Sword Formation technique, I'm still confident," Eadric Rong thought. He directed ninety percent of the pure air from his energy center point to the Xingying sword in his hand. The entire sword changed color to shine.Seeing that the opponent they thought was just an ordinary disciple could actually flow pure air into his sword, Jesper Jiang gave instructions firmly."Looks like you have a bit of skill. Worthy of sparring against us! Now, feel the po

    The three Zhonglu Sect youngsters were unable to stop their attack. A wave of tremendous power suddenly hit their bodies, floating towards Eadric Rong.BAM!The three youngsters were bounced backwards, dragged about twenty meters backwards with a rustling sound as they dragged on the ground. They were slammed hard, causing vibrations as their bodies hit the rocks. With every rolling motion, there was blood flowing from their mouths.Hoeks!After that, silence fell. They lay motionless as if their lives were already facing the king of hell.Eadric Rong wiped the sweat from his forehead with a gasping breath. "I almost died. But if they didn't die, it would have been me!"He stared at the three frozen figures with a strange, haunting feeling. This was the first time Eadric Rong had been involved in a massacre. Unfortunately, this act was done out of necessity, and as such, a bit of guilt was settling in his heart."I must bury the three of them so that no one can detect them. If this is

    Eadric Rong's shadow quickly disappeared; this is between feeling embarrassed and a little offended.Tangshan City, although small, was, in fact, quite developed and prosperous. Moreover, two mountains—Wudang and Zhonglu—stood on the left and right sides of the city. On those mountains, renowned martial experts from all over the country practiced as Cultivators.Business transactions in the city were plentiful, and the trade in tools, weapons, and vigor pills was very popular.All these tools are easy to find in Tangshan, as long as you have the money.In front of the Twilight Dew Shop, Eadric Rong stood waiting for another customer transaction. The shop owner, Errol Hou, was serving the first customer.When the first customer left, Errol Hou gave Eadric Rong a friendly look. "Aren't you a child of the Wudang Sect? The teenager who owes me the Xingying sword. Was your hunt successful?"Errol Hou's question was whether Eadric Rong had managed to get the demonic beast quarry as he had p

    The sun had tilted to the west. The sky above the Cloud Pine forest looked reddish. The Zhonglu Sect elder - Celeste Chen, had been pacing back and forth in the area where the aura of the former battle between Eadric Rong and the three Zhonglu Sect children had been. It seemed that he was searching for something restlessly.His face was contorted, looking full of worry. "Wretched twelve. If something happens to Jesper Jiang, the deputy sect leader may be furious."Celeste Chen didn't initially agree that Jesper Jiang should join the Shadowclaw hunting mission in the Cloud Pine forest. He daydreamed, remembering the few days before today's incident."You don't need to come. This is not a playful mission. Hunting a tier-one demonic creature is extremely dangerous. It's life at stake!" Celeste Chen said to Jesper Jiang at the beginning of the group's departure.Elder Celeste Chen thought this Jesper Jiang kid was too rash.In all likelihood, the mission that was supposed to be looking fo

    Still thinking happily, he had not yet started meditating. "According to Elder Kyron Mo, the best time to gather energy is when the moon is full. It's said that it's the best time for the energy to match the pure air energy in my pearl core," Eadric Rong thought happily.The night breeze blew softly. Eadric Rong closed his eyes and began to absorb all the energy around him. Cold energy faintly stirred in his dan tian as the moonlight fell on his body. He didn't realize that he looked so mysterious and mystical!The night was getting late when Eadric Rong started shivering from the cold.At that moment, his dantian began to churn thoroughly and was about to burst with cold energy. Until one day, he complained softly, and his face resigned. At that time, an explosion occurred within his dantian, and all the energy would flow into the meridians.One minute... two minutes... and finally!An explosion occurred inside his body.Eadric Rong was wide-eyed when, at the same time as the explosi

    Their bodies drifted back, but their eyes remained focused, filled with unwavering determination.However, in a very short period of time, no more than the blink of an eye, the two warring Kaishi again darted forward.They shortened the combat distance at a speed that was almost impossible for ordinary eyes to follow, swords and palms smashing into each other in a battle filled with fierce energy. The Thunder Sword and the Vajra Palm clashed once more, creating an extremely spectacular wave of power.The impact of their fight was even felt in the surrounding nature.What was once a calm and tranquil lake was now surging wildly.The calmly flowing waters of the Han Fenghe River suddenly stopped, then began to reverse direction upstream, as if following the dictates of the two battling Kaishi. So much true energy was at stake in this battle that it was able to deflect the flow of the river water.Behind the window of the room, from a small hole that was now getting bigger due to the pre

  • The Duel of the Two Kaishi.

    From a narrow gap in the Xuan paper, Eadric Rong's eyes caught a faint shadow of a human figure floating in the air. The figure turned slowly, its robes fluttering gracefully as if following the invisible movement of the wind.He wore striking Taoist clothing, giving off an impression of unusual majesty. The dim light of the sword draped across his back glowed, as if the sword itself contained tremendous spiritual energy."Fly? This is the first time I've seen a human who can actually fly!" thought Eadric Rong, his body feeling simultaneous waves of fear and awe. His heart beat faster and faster, cold sweat running down his back.Eadric Rong's face turned pale, a feeling of inferiority suddenly enveloping him."In the Yue Chuan Empire, I wearing the Black Bat King's armor and robes already felt invincible. My cultivation level even reached that of a Jade Dragon Swordsman, an already very high achievement there!"But this Taoist priest... Is he a Kaishi? A half-immortal? How could ther

  • Building in the Middle of the Lake.

    The man just looked on with a mixed gaze of astonishment and calm, impressed by Eadric Rong's skill.He immediately picked up a bamboo pole from the side of the boat and began to paddle with a steady rhythm, carrying Eadric Rong towards the mentioned island, while a gentle breeze swept across their faces.From a distance, the figure of Eadric Rong and the figure of the fisherman looked like gods walking on water, as their robes fluttered, and the loose sleeves undulated in the morning breeze.A moment later, they had arrived at the small island where the building stood majestically.The morning breeze blew gently, carrying the distinctive scent of wet soil and fresh willow leaves from around the lake. Faintly, there was the sound of rushing river water, making Eadric Rong wonder."Please wait while you enjoy your tea, Young Master. You can see for yourself, can't you? The river over there is flowing very fast. Traveling in these conditions is very dangerous!" said Fisherman Yang, his

    Although his body-lightening skill had not completely vanished, Eadric Rong felt how the art was now sucking his energy greedily.Every time he practiced his light steps, his body seemed to be possessed by a gripping exhaustion. Without the reserves of Qi energy that had once been the source of his strength, he now felt fragile.Having only jumped down the cliff twice, Eadric Rong was already gasping for breath, his chest tight, cold sweat running down his neck. The fear was getting more and more gripping."I'm so weak!" he hissed, disappointed in himself.The forest of Lingxiao Mountain grew thicker, swallowing the remaining light. The once soothing sounds of nature now became menacing whispers. Eadric Rong realized that danger lurked in every shadow."The best way to avoid the assassins' pursuit is to take an unexpected route," he thought as he slipped between the shadows of trees and bushes that twisted like ghostly hands trying to reach him.His feet slipped on the slippery ground

  • The Death of Dhuan Jiexin.

    The horse-drawn carriage drove slowly through the rocky path uphill towards the summit of Lingxiao Mountain. The sound of the wooden wheels hitting the stone made a loud and eerie sound, as if inviting fear from the darkness of the night.At the top of the mountain, the air was getting colder, as if it was cruelly piercing the skin. The sky was still shrouded in the darkness of night, although on the horizon, morning light was beginning to appear, giving a slight hint of the coming day.Dhuan Jiexin watched enthusiastically as the train arrived from the north. His bright eyes seemed to glow in the dark night, showing how excited he was for the train's arrival."You've finally arrived," Dhuan Jiexin said, breaking the silence of the night. His voice betrayed a deep sense of satisfaction. "I was worried you guys wouldn't be able to get rid of that weak talisman master.""Ah, there's no way I can fail. I've done this job hundreds of times, so how could I fail this time?" the coachman rep

    Song Hui took out his dagger quickly and precisely.In one deadly stab, the still sleeping Eadric Rong had no time to defend himself. Blood immediately flowed, flooding the carriage and signaling the Talisman Master's silent end.In just ten breaths, there was a soft tap on the curtained window that separated the carriage room from the coachman's seat outside.Knock knock knock."Who is it?" asked Zhang Li, his voice full of curiosity. "Is it done?""I've taken care of everything. Don't worry," Song Hui replied in a casual tone. "I'll move to the seat beside you. I don't want to sit next to a corpse covered in blood!""Hop on, let's go to the front!" replied Zhang Li, gesturing towards the seat next to him.Not long after, Zhang Li felt the presence of Song Hui who suddenly appeared beside him. With nimble movements full of skill, Song Hui slid into the seat next to Zhang Li, as if floating silently."How was it? Any difficulties when finishing him off?" asked Zhang Li, fixing his gaz

    However, how surprised Li Shangyin was when Master Rong suddenly raised his hand.In Master Rong's palm glittered an object that emitted a soft light, making Li Shangyin's face turn pale and his body tremble with fear."The Lucky Bracelet belongs to the Murong Family," Master Rong said in a firm tone, emphasizing every word.Instantly, the eleven people who had been standing in Eadric Rong's arrogant and threatening stance immediately fell to their knees, as if they had been cut down by a sharp cleaver. They bowed in resignation, repeatedly chanting the name "Lucky Bracelet" solemnly, their voices in unison full of fear.Eadric Rong, seeing the profound change in the situation, immediately stepped closer to Li Shangyin. With a decisive move, he grabbed the manager by the face and pulled him close."Now that you know who I am, are you still going to be arrogant?" Eadric Rong's voice sounded full of threat, and emphasis."I wonder what the Murong Family in Daqi City would do, if they kn

    "Should I be happy, or angry? The pill that the people of Jianghu are looking for in the Yue Chuen Empire, is actually being fought over here as the grand prize of the Dragon Competition!"Eadric Rong set down the tea bowl carefully, staring at the steaming golden yellow liquid. He waved his hand, calling out to the waiter who was busy serving other guests."Give me another pot of tea. Don't forget to sprinkle dried chrysanthemums on it..."The waiter soon left, and Eadric Rong went back to pretending to be busy with himself, though in reality, his mind was wandering, absorbing information he overheard from the conversations of the other diners in the twilight.Soon, Eadric Rong's order came, and he was back to enjoying steaming tea with the delicate scent of Chrysanthemums, soothing his restless soul."But, will those Zhen Long Pills really be able to help me, to break through all the bottlenecks, and overcome the rigidity of the meridians, due to the internal injuries I sustained mo

    The incident at the Peacock Pavilion was quickly forgotten, as if it was swept away by the spring breeze from the South, carrying the news far away from everyone's memories.The stories and rumors about the Peacock Pavilion's attack on the Hall of Fortune Koi, which were previously shocking, slowly faded away like the dew that disappears when the morning sun begins to shine on the earth. It was as if the event was just a faint shadow that appeared for a brief moment, then vanished without a trace.Now, everyone's attention was on the bigger and more shocking news of the Dragon Meeting that was about to be held in the capital city of Xuefeng Du.This was no ordinary event, but a grand gathering of martial arts experts and spiritualists from across the Jin Shuang Empire.
