The sight sent a shiver through the remaining guards, their faces etched with terror, bodies quaking.

With just one slash, nine martial generals had been felled!

The horror of it echoed in the clattering of dropped weapons.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Without hesitating for even a second, everyone who could still stand threw away their swords and scattered in every direction.

They were nothing more than guards for the Calnan family, swaggering around under the family's name on ordinary days. However, when true danger loomed, sticking with the family to the bitter end was out of the question; survival was their top priority!

"Run from battle, and you die!"

At that moment, a furious shout echoed from the courtyard's entrance.

A suffocating aura of power rolled out, heavy as a mountain bearing down on them.

A near-martial ancesto!

The figure appeared with a whirlwind of motion, his blade dancing in his hand, casting out a storm of lethal light that cut through the deserters like a scy

    "Charge!" echoed the hundred-strong Forbidden Army, as they dashed into battle with their Blood Shadow Sabers drawn."Charge!" The cry was taken up by a hundred of the Shadow Sect's Elegant Uniformed Troops."There's no need for the Shadow Sect to engage!" Yoel commanded, his voice resonating with authority.Those foes were the elite of the Calnan family, each a formidable adversary.The Shadow Sect had its share of warriors at or even late martial general stage, but they were still outmatched, and unnecessary sacrifices were not on Yoel's agenda.Besides, he was confident that the enemy did not stand a ghost of a chance with the First Squad of the Forbidden Army in the fray."Vice-marshal Louis, let us fight!" Elvis implored, his fighting spirit blazing.As a martial god himself, he could easily dispatch a handful of the family's key players."Shadow Sect's finest, the Elegant Uniformed Troops, we request to enter the fray!" A chorus of a hundred voices echoed the plea.For t

    "So, got anyone else up your sleeve?" Yoel eyed his opponent. "If not, I might just let you off yourself and leave your body whole."Hector scoffed, "Don't get ahead of yourself!""Oh? You've got a backup plan?" Yoel squinted, intrigued. "We'll see when your cavalry arrives."In a blur of motion, four figures swept in like specters from all directions, materializing a hundred meters out.Their arrival brought a suffocating aura that made the Shadow Sect and Forbidden Army feel like they were choking.Those four were on par with the Calnan family elders, all possessing a cultivation base at the half-step to martial ancestor level!"Now, who's the naive one?" Hector sneered at Yoel.He then lowered his voice, "I'll give you three a chance. Wreck your own powers, bow at the gates of the Calnan estate for three full days and nights, and I might let you live.""You're clueless!" Yoel's eyes narrowed as he scanned the four elders. "Let me guess, you're from rival houses, right?""Th

    "Today, we're going to show you what it takes to be a top-notch marshal!" The Calnan family elder bellowed, charging forward to set the battle in motion.The other four elders did not miss a beat, surging ahead to join the fray.Five formidable fighters, each a half-step away from being martial ancestors, launched their attacks from different angles. Their combined force was like a tidal wave, intent on overwhelming Yoel in one decisive blow."Mr. Louis, watch out!"Worry etched itself across Nevaeh's face."Don't sweat it, Nevaeh!" Dragon said, grinning confidently."Mr. Louis saw this coming a mile away. The boss sent Yoel solo for a reason. Those old-timers won't lay a finger on him!""But..." Nevaeh's concern lingered.She could not help but think that despite Yoel's superior strength, he was up against five opponents, all nearly martial ancestors in their own right. It would be hard to predict the outcome with the full force of their assault."Seriously, Nevaeh, don't wor

    Swoosh!Yoel ignored the elder's disbelief. He flicked his wrist as he launched another chilling strike.Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!The will to battle drained from the four elders as they shook with fear and sprinted into the woods. One was a split second too slow. He had barely made it a few steps before the blade's light cut him down, his body dropping in two separate pieces.As Yoel's second strike flew, Dragon also moved, his Blood Shadow Saber aiming for another victim.The targeted elder, already wounded, felt the deadly intent but was too drained to dodge. The blade's icy light pierced his back, and he stumbled a few more steps before falling face-first, lifeless.Yoel, having dispatched his target, blurred into motion, chasing down one of the last two survivors. The elder ran for his life, his spirit almost leaving his body in fear, but his speed was no match for Yoel's, who was closing in fast.In a heartbeat, Yoel had dashed to a spot thirty yards behind his adversary.

    Boom!As they were talking, a formidable presence descended over the Calnan noble family's courtyard like storm clouds rolling in.Everyone at the gate, Yoel and Dragon included, felt an oppressive weight in the air.Hector's eyes sparked to life as he felt the surge of power, and he swiftly turned to face the courtyard's entrance."Shadow Sect Elegant Uniformed Troops and Forbidden Army, fall back five hundred meters!" Yoel's voice carried the weight of command."Vice-marshal Louis, we pledge to stand by you through thick and thin, come what may!" The crowd inhaled deeply and then shouted together, not one person budging an inch. "I'm ordering you to fall back five hundred meters! That's an order!" Yoel bellowed."Sir, yes, sir!" After a moment's hesitation, the group responded in unison and began an orderly retreat.They might have wanted to stay, but orders were orders, and to disobey was to betray their leader. They had no choice."Mr. Louis, I'll hold the fort!" Nevaeh

    To them, being cast out was a fate worse than death on the battlefield. Graham's gaze turned icy as he addressed Dragon, "Do I have your respect now? You've got one minute to line up at the gates of the Calnan estate and end your lives in penance. Fail, and you'll leave nothing behind but dust." At that moment, a lean figure stepped into view, his presence so subtle that the air itself seemed undisturbed, as if he had simply materialized from thin air."Marshal, at your service!" The arrival of the newcomer sent a ripple of energy through the ranks of the Shadow Sect's finest and the Forbidden Army. They dropped to one knee and cried out in unison. "On your feet, let's talk," the newcomer commanded. It was Howard, of course, who gave a slight nod to the assembled crowd. Noble families, with their centuries-old legacies, were brimming with formidable warriors, including the legendary martial ancestors. Howard was well aware of that. He would not dream of letting Yoel and the ot

    "Sir!"At the manor's entrance, Yoel and his two companions hurried to Howard's side and gave a respectful bow.Deep down, Yoel and Dragon had a sneaking suspicion that their boss might show up.The noble family's roots ran deep, and the two of them alone were not quite up to the task."Everything alright, no issues?" Howard inquired, eyeing the trio."Nothing to worry about, Sir, just a small hiccup!" they replied in unison, shaking their heads."Here, try these. They're healing pills crafted by Mystical Chubby. They work wonders," Howard said, producing three pills."Thanks a bunch, sir!" They accepted the pills and downed them."Take a moment to catch your breath here," Howard instructed before turning to approach Graham."You set me up to strike at them, didn't you?" Graham demanded, his voice tinged with anger after a deep breath.After seeing Howard, he realized his intent to eradicate his Calnan family from its roots."Do you even know why the Shadow Sect and the West

    "You're the worst kind of trouble!" Graham looked like he had aged a lifetime at that moment."Dad... Dad, help... I don't want to die..." Hector scrambled desperately toward his father.Thud!He did not make it far before Graham's boot sent him flying, his voice thundering as he yelled, "You've disgraced our family and destroyed the Calnan name.""Are you two done with this pathetic show?" Yoel's voice cut through the tension. "Are you going to take responsibility and end it, or do we need to step in?"Graham exhaled a heavy breath, facing Howard with a resigned look."I know you're after the whole Calnan family, and this mess is my son's fault. I don't hold it against you.""I'm aware of your rules. Getting in the way of the Shadow Sect means you're as guilty as they come. I've already crossed you by hurting one of your own. It's do or die between us today."Strong as you are, the word 'surrender' isn't in my vocabulary. I'm Graham, ready to give it a shot, even if I might no

    "And look at that bracelet, it's stunning! Oh, and the compact has such a unique charm! Should we get one of each to decorate our homes?""Yuffie, you're still in school. How can you afford all this?" Talia chided gently. "You have a hundred fifty-dollar budget. Spend more, and it's coming out of your allowance.""What? Only a hundred fifty dollars? You're being too tight-fisted, sis!" Yuffie's complaint was lighthearted as she playfully turned to Howard. "Howard...""Don't even think about it. His wallet is in my hands!" Talia cut her off, fully aware of her little sister's ploy."Fine..." Yuffie's pout was all in good fun."Haha! It's not every day we get to do this, honey. If Yuffie finds something she loves, let's get it for her. Who knows if it'll be here next time?" Howard chuckled."Yay! You're the best, bro-in-law!" Yuffie cheered, her face lighting up with joy."You're just making her more spoiled!" Talia gave Howard a playful eye roll and turned her attention away from

    Howard's willingness to visit the antique market was not solely to assist the sisters in their quest for a legendary blade. Such weapons were treasures often stumbled upon by chance, rarely found by those who sought them.His real intent was to immerse the sisters in the rich culture of the martial arts clans they were then a part of. More exposure to the ways of the warrior guilds could only benefit them on their chosen path.The following morning, Howard's group of five set off in the direction of Nathanael. Talia and Yuffie buzzed with excitement throughout the journey, their minds alive with wonder.Nathanael, nestled in the mountains to the northeast of Mendorra and a couple hundred kilometers away, awaited them.By 10 a.m., they arrived, parking at the gates of a sprawling estate on the city's outskirts—the site of the famed market.Stepping out, they were greeted by a lively throng at the estate's entrance, many adorned in traditional robes, weapons hanging from their belts

    "And that's not all. They might even be a bona fide king-level warrior." Howard's brow furrowed with uncertainty."It looks like The Dark World is a whole lot more tangled than we thought," Yoel mused aloud.Then, turning back to Howard, he inquired, "Sir, did the old man ever share anything with you about The Dark World?""Not a word," Howard replied, shaking his head."Sir, do you think our mystery person could be from one of the elite families or sects, maybe just there on some errand?" Mystical Chubby chimed in.His speculation was not unfounded. Most of the king-level warriors from Rackaham were known to hail from the secretive clans and sects."It's unlikely." Howard dismissed the idea with another shake of his head. "From what Sabertooth described, our guy seems to know The Dark World like the back of his hand.""Who's that supposed to be?" Mystical Chubby scrunched his brow in confusion."Let it go for now. We'll head back to The Dark World in a little while," said Howa

    "Um..." Blood Rakshasa nodded, the woman's earlier words still ringing in her head."Sir... Sir, was what you said earlier true?" Blood Rakshasa asked Sabertooth, her voice barely above a whisper."What did I say?" Sabertooth looked puzzled for a moment."You said... You said next time, we'd go back home together to get married..." Blood Rakshasa's cheeks turned a soft pink."Hehe, absolutely," Sabertooth chuckled, his smile warm and genuine. "The boss gave me the order, and I've given my word."Blood Rakshasa's smile was shy but filled with joy.Soon after, Qemal strode in."Sabertooth, I've tracked down the hideout of the Slaying Heaven Palace," Qemal announced upon arrival."Is that so?" Sabertooth's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Tell the crew to take a two-hour breather, then we move out!"The Slaying Heaven Palace's goons had nearly wiped out them today. Payback was due.With the Palace's top fighters gone, the rest were hardly a threat. It was time to cross the Slay

    "Shadow Demon Shrine?" The woman's brow creased for a moment, but she quickly dropped the subject.She then turned to Sabertooth and observed, "You and your group have the vibe of soldiers. You're not originally from The Dark World, are you?""Speaking to our savior," Sabertooth gave a respectful nod, "we were part of the Rackaham Western Region's military before we came here."He was open with the woman who had saved over a hundred of his comrades."The Western Region's military?" The woman paused, a hint of recognition in her voice, "You're with the Blood Shadow Force?""That's us," Sabertooth confirmed with another bow."Is your leader the King of the West, Master Howard?" she inquired further."You know my boss?" Sabertooth looked surprised."Not personally, but I've heard the name," the woman replied with a shake of her head. "What's he got you doing in The Dark World?""Over the past couple of years, the world's heavy hitters have been funneling their muscle and resource

    "You'll live to regret this, Dark Demon Lord!" Blood Rakshasa declared, locking eyes with her adversary. "Kill us, and Master Howard will avenge us by wiping out every last one of you in your cursed palace...""Ha! That Master Howard of yours better think twice before stepping into The Dark World again, or it'll be his grave!" The Dark Demon Lord mocked with an icy laugh."You're the fool!" Sabertooth growled. "No one in The Dark World has been born who can take down our boss. Your time's coming!""Is that so?" The Dark Demon Lord sneered with disdain. "You're clueless, all of you. You have no idea how powerful the Shadow Demon Shrine truly is!""Enough babbling. Time to end this. I'll send you both to join your boss," he declared, his presence intensifying as he prepared to strike them down."I love you," Blood Rakshasa whispered, her eyes closing."No, don't!" Qemal and others shouted in despair.Then there was a thunderous boom.However, the expected tragedy did not unfold.

    Sabertooth sneered, watching the man's futile efforts. "You're such a fool!"He then declared solemnly, "Blood Shadow Technique, second form, Sky Slash!"With those words, he summoned all his strength, his saber carving a fierce arc of light through the air, striking like thunder at his foe.The Blood Shadow Technique was known for turning the tides against stronger adversaries.The white-haired elder's eyes narrowed in alarm. Caught mid-leap, he desperately wanted to dodge but could not. The saber's light bore down on him, a chilling aura of death shrouding him completely.In that instant, a wave of energy crashed through the air like a tidal wave, bringing a howling gale with it.Crash!Suddenly, Sabertooth was hurled away like a shell fired from a gun, blood spraying from his mouth as he flew, before he slammed into the earth, leaving a huge crater and falling silent."Sabertooth!" Blood Rakshasa's shout pierced the chaos as she spun and dashed to his side.She barely made

    The man in black was sent hurtling through the air, slamming into the ground with such force that he lay there motionlessly, struggling to rise. A gaping wound, carved by the relentless sword, oozed blood profusely from his abdomen."What in the world is that sword technique?" he gasped after a torturous effort to stand, his face ashen.He had underestimated Blood Rakshasa's swordplay. Since her breakthrough to a higher echelon of mastery, her blade's might had surged, utterly dominating her seasoned adversary."The Sword Without a Name," Blood Rakshasa declared icily.Without wasting another second, she launched another assault. Sabertooth was in dire straits, and she was determined to aid him.Her blade danced again, weaving a web of sword energy that shot toward the white-haired elder, ensnaring him in an instant.The old man's eyes narrowed in a flash of panic, realizing he was trapped with no way out."This is it!" he snarled, brandishing his blade and lunging forward.How

    With a thunderous explosion of energy, Blood Rakshasa's power surged, forcing the old man before her to stagger back in disbelief."Impossible! Have you broken through?" he gasped, steadying himself, his face a mask of astonishment."You bet I have!" Blood Rakshasa's face lit up with triumph.She had done it, just as the old man had surmised. Amid her swordplay, she felt a dormant core energy within her erupt, catapulting her to the zenith of martial knight at peak mastery stage.Master Howard's words rang in her head. The core energy left in her by a once-mighty warrior was too much to absorb at once. Back in that cave, she only managed a minor mastery in martial knight. However, Howard had predicted further advancements, and he was right."Let's see if you can handle a few more of my strikes!" Blood Rakshasa challenged, her spirit soaring not just from her newfound strength but also from a deeper connection to her swordsmanship."Bring it on!" the old man bellowed, his blade re
