“You nameless, backgroundless mutt, how dare you disrespect my great-grandfather? Who do you think you are?” “Pastor Angelo praised you because he is simply trying to guide you. Don’t be full of yourself!” “Kaze Lee, I demand you kneel before the pond and apologize to our great-grandmaster!” Master Juan’s followers berated Kaze, demanding him to kneel and apologize at the pond. Since the Wind Water Formation was created by the great-grandmaster, kneeling at the pond was as if one knelt before the master himself. Kaze said indifferently, “Your ancestor is dead. Even if he is alive and standing before me, he won’t be able to accept my kneel.” “Master! This guy is stubborn and disrespectful! We have to teach him a lesson or he will continue to be arrogant!” The female follower raised her voice once more. Master Juan’s expression turned grim. “He must be taught the proper way.” “I will do it!” The female follower then strode over to Kaze fiercely. Her measured steps a
In ancient times, masters who practiced the art of feng shui and other elemental arts fought fiercely for the sake of reputation and power. The competition was intense. Many masters set up their formations to trap others, so the formations tended to be lethal once triggered. Those who could break the formation by force were usually stronger enemies. As for those who practiced under the same banner, they usually shared the dissolving techniques among their own and passed them down to the next generation. Therefore, only enemies would intrude by force, so the traps were lethal to eliminate intruders. Listening to their masters, the other followers glared at Kaze. “You! You caused Jenny’s death! I’ll kill you!” “You did it on purpose!” Kaze chuckled. “Yeah, I did it on purpose. Such an arrogant woman should die but if your master could stop the quicksand and save her, I wouldn’t stop him either. “You should hurry, Master Juan. Or else you will be digging up a body instea
Master Juan’s disciples rushed out from the hole, looking pale and horrified. The instruments and equipment they held fell along the way but they did not care. They ran out like madmen and tried to climb out from the pond. “What happened?” Kent was shocked and startled by the cry for help. One of the disciples scrambled up and fell to the ground. Pointing at the hole with a shaking hand, he stammered, “Ghost! Ghost!” He was terrified. Colors drained from Kent’s face.Like Kaze said, something was wrong under the pond. As for the ghost the disciple mentioned, he believed no such thing. He instinctively said, “Master Juan is still in there, it should be fine…” Before he could even finish, Master Juan ran out from the hole with the female disciple, looking horrified. The female disciple was covered in blood and her clothes were barely intact. She did not seem to be breathing as well. Master Juan looked miserable too. His clothes were torn, his face was covered in di
The wooden sword was Master Juan’s favorite artifact. It was made with the best oak wood and carved with complicated markings. It even had a few gemstones on the hilt. The wooden sword could easily fetch a few million on the market but Kaze lit it up using his lighter and used it as a torch. He raised the torch and entered through the iron door. The torch burned brightly before he entered but when he set foot inside, the fire grew weak to the point of extinguishing. Fortunately, it did not go off and continued to emit a dim light across the room. Kaze finally got a better look at the place. Before him was a round platform with a red wooden coffin on top. It was extremely huge. Based on his estimation, it was at least three times larger than a common coffin. Under the coffin was a line of artificial gully, surrounding the entire coffin and spreading across the room. Some red liquid flowed across it and through some sophisticated instruments, it entered and exited the c
Master Juan’s great-grandfather somehow redeemed himself during his last breath. Nevertheless, the Ryokanians continued their wicked experiment to transform the body into a zombie super soldier, hoping they could one day bring back the dead and create an army of undead soldiers to conquer the world. Master Juan’s great-grandfather told his descendant never to move the pond because he did not want his family to get involved. The blood flowing in the gully was the blood of his people. Kaze’s expression turned frosty. The Ryokanians’ evil ambitions would never die until they invaded Arcadia. “Luckily you bumped into me,” Kaze said coldly. Bang! He punched the coffin, shattering it along with the remains of Master Juan's great-grandfather. He then tossed the torch into the gully, igniting the entire room to burn everything away. At the same time in a shrine somewhere in Ryokan, a tablet worshiped on an altar cracked and disintegrated into dust. After that, Kaze walked
Kaze said, “I’ve dealt with it. Strange things won’t happen to your family again. “Some Ryokanians controlled Master Juan’s great-grandfather’s soul to cause disturbance but that’s all they can do for now. You can just forget what happened.” Kent nodded gratefully. “Thank you. Thank you again.” He was grateful for what Kaze had done for his family and was fully convinced of Kaze’s capabilities. Master Juan and his disciples went down and came back horrified, whereas Kaze returned unscathed and revealed a major secret under the pond. “Oh, the dead ninja the other day, where’s the body?” Kaze asked. Kent said, “I asked my men to bury it in some public grave, where we used to bury homeless people. It’s also a place where the powerful bury their enemies.” Kaze asked, “Give me the location. Don’t ask and don’t go checking on it. Just take it as if you buried a dead stray cat.” Kent was slightly surprised. He did not know what Kaze wanted to do but he nodded nevertheless. T
Bronze Sparrow had nine floors. The place was also known as Nine Heavens. At the top of Nine Heavens would be the office of the general manager, Zoro Bleach. Luis and Zenika came purposely to meet Zoro. Last night when Kaze thrashed the place, Zoro was not around. He only came back this morning, so Luis and Zenika were eager to convince him to pursue Kaze and avenge them. After their fingers were cut off, they went straight to the hospital to sew them back. However, the doctor said even if they reattached the severed fingers, they would not be able to use it as nimbly as before. In other words, their fingers were completely crippled even though they looked fine. Luis and Zenika hated Kaze to their core. Overnight they became disabled—an outcome their status and upbringing could not accept. Bump! Bump! Bump! With Zoro’s man leading the way, Luis and Zenika arrived at the highest floor and the first thing they heard were noises of rough waves. A shirtless man in his
Zoro said, “There’s always someone better. Aside from the few kingpins, the prominent families of Riverbank also employed many powerful experts. “They had been dominating South River State for years, their foundations deeply rooted. They colluded with the authorities and forged alliances with the underworld forces. Every family has their own figure of ‘pillar’ like anchors holding them firm.” Luis wore a flattering smile and said, “Even so, they are old and you are still in your prime. With Casius’ praises and esteem for you, even if the other veterans stand against you, you can easily crush them beneath your feet!” Zoro chuckled. “Who knows? No one would show their trump card until it’s a matter of life and death. “Like the Lee family. I heard they were defeated by their abandoned son in Lilyrose, losing not only power and influence but also Cosmo’s and Narian’s legs. Yet they dared not say a thing. “People started to look down on them, thinking they were declining, but thos
