《Shadow: Sovereign of Kings》Chapter 24: Revenge of Bai Clan(3)
Advertisement
Adorned in a silver armor that perfectly matched his long silver hair, Clan Master Bai knelt in front of the Bai clan's ancestral tablets.
With a respectful and sad tone, Clan Master Bai solemnly said, "Honorable ancestors, I have brought an unimaginable disaster onto Bai clan. I'm not worthy of the surname Bai. But...all I ask is to watch over and protect Bai Leng Mo. Please receive this bow!"
With that, Clan Master forcefully placed his head on the floor, leaving behind a stain of blood.
After bidding his farewells to his ancestors, Clan Master Bai steadily walked out of the ancestral hall with a rusty sword.
"Heh, this will be our last battle…"
As if it understood what Clan Master Bai was saying, the sword radiated with an even stronger blood thirst.
Ever since Clan Master Bai's first battle, it has followed its master through many other bloody battles, bathing in the blood of its enemies.
Without delaying another second, Clan Master Bai leapt off the ground and flew towards the Qin clan.
***
"Hurry up! Quickly send a message to the Human Emperor to ask for help. And you, Huo, help me with the Spirit Array!"
After the death of Feng Zhi Yi, Qin Wu realised that if he continued to look down on Bai Zhang, he would probably end up in the same fate as him.
As such, he immediately set up the necessary preparations to defend against the tyrannical Bai Zhang once he returned home.
With an unsatisfied grunt, Huo went forward and channel is Qi into the Spirit Array. 'Tsk, just because I'm weaker than you doesn't mean you can order me around… I'm still a Clan Master!'.
The Spirit Array is a type of trapping formation that confines an enemy in a fixed area and within that fixed area, the skill level of allies will be increased while that of the foes' will decrease. In other words, buffing the allies and nerfing the enemy. It was granted to the Qin Clan by the Human Emperor for their support in helping him to ascend the throne.

BOOM!
As the two Clan Masters were busy setting up the Spirit Array, a tremendous force collided with the gates of the Qin Clan, causing it disintegrate.
Amidst the clouds of dust, a valiant man garbed in a silver armor calmly sauntered out. Coupled with the aura of the battle worn sword in his right hand, each step of his caused the hearts of his enemies to palpitate.
"Go! Kill him! Buy as much time as possible!" Qin Wu instantly recovered from his daze and commanded his guards to go forth. At the same time, the Huo Clan also provided reinforcements by firing arrows engulfed in fire Qi.
The Huo Clan expertised in combining fire to practically everything; If one combines fire to Qi, then the outcome would lead to the formation of a Fire Essence which was several times stronger than normal fire or Qi. Once enough Fire Essence was gathered, a Spirit Fire would be formed, capable of injuring the physical body of a Spirit Ascension stage cultivator.
Clan Master Bai's cold eyes glinted as he welcomed the first wave of cultivators. 'Hmph, Core Formation middle stage cultivators…trash.'
Like the God of Death, Clan Master Bai danced with his sword as he displayed his agile footwork and lethal sword technique. With each wave of his sword, two or three enemies will fall and this continued after all of them have been wiped out.
Stepping over the dead bodies, Clan Master Bai finally spoke, "Is that...all you've got?"
Qin Wu stared at Clan Master Bai in hatred as he clenched his teeth. When Huo was about to flee, Qin Wu suddenly said, "Huo, send your whole clan to face that b*stard! I don't believe that he won't go down."
Upon hearing what QIn Wu said, Huo exploded with rage, "F*cking hell! Why don't you send yours too? HUH?!"
'Hmmm…an internal strife huh. This will be fun to watch.' Clan Master Bai stood at one side as he regulated the Qi in his body. Unexpectedly, the previous battle has caused quite a bit Qi.

"Are you defying my orders?" Qin Wu asked with an extremely cold tone.
"So what if I am?" Huo rebelliously shot back at Qin Wu.
"Good… Then you will die along with Bai Zhang!" At this point, Qin Wu was filled with rage. 'This piece of sh*t dares to go against me! Then die!'
Engulfed by rage and hatred, Qin Wu lost all his reasoning as he ordered his clan members, "Qin Clan! Kill them! Kill everyone!"
However, no one moved a single muscle. Any logical beings could tell that the Qin Wu right now was not normal and he was not thinking rationally.
"You guys want to rebel too?! AHHHH DIEE!!" After seeing that his clan members were defying his orders, Qin Wu went havoc as he send waves of devastating Qi at his clan members. Due to the surprise attack, several of his clan members were immediately struck.
Consumed by panic, all of the Qin Clan members started to flee for their lives. In their eyes, their Clan Master was a lunatic.
Unaware that he was still connected to the Spirit Array, Huo started to feel that something was amiss as he felt his life force depleting away. In that instant, the Spirit Array suddenly turned red as various strange markings appeared on it.
Clan Master Bai frowned as he gazed at the manifestation of the Spirit Array. He could sense a thick and dense aura of a powerful devil coming out from it. 'The Spirit Array is just a cover for this evil array… What in the world is this?'
"AHHH!" Suddenly, two tragic screams rang out. Huo's body was void of any life force and he struggled to even keep his eyes opened. Whereas for Qin Wu, his was slowly engulfed by a red liquid as it flooded into his five orifices.
Several of the clan members stood rooted on the spot, watching in horror as their Clan Masters being engulfed by the evil array. Their Clan Masters were like the supreme being in their eyes and upon seeing the scene in front of them, they lost all hope and will to fight back.
Eventually, the corpse of Huo collapsed into a pile of ash while Qin Wu...no, while that thing twist and distort, cracking the bones in its body.
After what seemed like an eternity, the cracking finally stopped as the thing floated down. Right now, its face was extremely twisted with two pairs of bloodshot eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth. It's body was about three meters tall with red glowing markings all over it. There were a total of three horns on its forehead, making it seemed extremely intimidating.
"C-clan Master Qin?" One of the Qin clan members asked timidly.
Suddenly, its head twisted towards the voice and slowly, it stretched out its claws.
Just when everyone was curious of what it was going to do, the Qin clan member that asked that question burst into a mist of blood.
The masses were stumped, until some of them started to scream as they flee for their lives and soon enough, chaos broke out.
As if it was toying with its prey, that thing gave a bone-chilling laugh as it continued to point its claws at the fleeing masses.

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri-Sat, 10am Central/ 3pm GMT. ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.

Moonlight Sword Sect
One of the three great sects, the Moonlight Sword Sect is a powerful sect that rules over a overwhelming amount of deity-like cultivators, like a dragon that rules over powerful treasures. The Moonlight Sword Sect, also called as the ?Moonlight Illusions Sect,?is the most feared sect among the three great sects for its profound and mysterious technique that can destroy realities and even the time itself. Indeed. This is the sect that no one must or even most, "can" fight as this sect is strong by any means, be it offensive or defensive as they can bend the reality to illusions, giving the attacker or defensive side a dim light of hope of surviving from the wrath of the Moonlight Sword Sect. However... "Are you really that serious, sect master?" "Yes, I am indeed serious." "You're giving away the sect master role to someone so that you can go away from your sect-master duties and court that female cultivator from other sect?! Are you serious sect master?!" "Yes." "Sigh... I can't believe this is happening..." ??? "Xiare! I challenge you!" "Hehehe.... Even though you're an OP character, you're still a weakling, my little Eumi. Fine then. I'll accept your challenge. Let's duel! Show me your best cards!" Indeed. Instead of a more serious tone of what the Moonlight Sword Sect cultivators imagined and portrayed by the other cultivators to be, they were instead opposite of that. Instead, they were casual, free from worries and most importanty— carefree with no sign of ending. It was as if they were like a joke, despite being one of the most feared sect across the cultivation and mortal world. Follow the cultivators of the Moonlight Sword Sect as they experience the changing world with their carefree lifestyle.
