《The Old Steward Journey in Cultivation World》5. Farewell
Advertisement
BANG!!!
All of their swords that hit Old Wu bounce back, as if they hit a very hard metal. Their hands shaken profusely, and there are cracks all over their swords. Yet Old Wu doesn't move at all, he doesn't even blink.
"You should stop, you would hurt yourself." warned Old Wu. They are lucky, since they didn't hit him with full force, otherwise their hands would be broken. Old Wu doesn't even understand his strength, yet he knows that he is stronger, way stronger than all of them combined.
"Don't mock us old man! Don't you dare be cocky just because you have some armor inside your body!" said one of the man. There is no way that he acknowledge this old man is so strong, he must have found some armor or treasure that he hide inside his clothes that make him withstand their attack just now. The more they think about it, the more possible it is, it must be how he can run out of the forest.
"Eat shit!" yell one of the man while swinging his cracked sword, this time straight to Old Wu face. So what if he got some armor, his face is wide open, he think inwardly.
BANG!!!
This time the same thing happen, however the sword that he use now shatter all over the ground. "Shit, ughhh how did that happen..." the man holding his wrist, it seems that the wrist has some broken bones. It hurt him like hells.
"Impossible..." the madam cannot hold her surprise. It still makes sense if the slash just now hit his body, but it clearly hit his face. Clearly Old Wu doesn't have any protection, so how did Old Wu withstand that slash just now she has no idea.
"You clown, you better stop playing! Kill him now!" Order her again, she hope to heaven that the mercenary is only fool her, and ask her for more money, how she hope that true.
"This is bullshit!" Said the leader bitterly. He's the one that has more martial arts experience in his team. He held his own in the path that he took, no easy path it is. He has cultivate seriously to reach his cultivation, which is advance Qi rank. He has throw away his personal life, rob and sold anything just to be able to buy cultivation resources. He also has a lot of fighting experience, against demon beast, or another human, yet he never saw anyone that has able to withstand their attack just now.

He has measure this Old Wu cultivation when they first meet before, and it is indeed trash. Whether this old man in front of him is the same Old Wu or not he doesn't know. His instict tell him that he won't be able to win, not normally anyway. He reach a pill in his pocket and swallow it.
"OAHHHHHH!!!!" The leader roar. He just swallow a forbidden medicine, a black and forbidden pill that he got by throwing some serious fortune to it, the process to find the people that can sell it is not easy also.
He can feel that his strength soar a few times, his muscle become more buff. There are vein pops up visible in his body. "Time to die old man!"
Old Wu just sigh when he saw him. "Young man, while your aura increase a little, yet i can see that it become more defile, you should stop." Old Wu just sincerely warn him. While he doesn't think anything positive to them, he doesn't want anything bad happen to him, it's better if the situation just resolve as it is.
However that word just become a provocation in front of the man, he become angry to it. 'What the hell that he know, why would i stop.' Said him inwardly.
"Die!!!!!" As the leader yell, he swung his sword again, this time to the part of the body that is very impossible to train, which is the eye.
BANG!!!!
Yet again the result is the same. The most impossible thing. How did an eye withstand attack power of a seasoned warrior of Advance Qi Rank that already taken a forbidden medicine, he would never know. Moreover, since he hit Old Wu with more power that the man before, the backlash is more powerfull. His arm and swords are broken, and there are blood popping out from the blood veins. He doesn't even have any power to scream for his agony.
"I'm sorry to do this" Said Old Wu as he slightly push the man.
CRASHHHHH!!!!!
The man flew back about ten meters and hit the wall. He just hit the wall hard, and the walls crumble as it hit him. It made quite a huge hole in the wall. The man also appear to be unconcious after it, no sound come from him, and he doesn't get up again. Yet Old Wu can see that there are some aura hanging thin around his body, so he doesn't die from that push just now, yet it seems that he won't be able to hurt anymore people, since the aura is even weaker than pedestrian he meet in the town.

"You! You! How did you did that!" the madam knee goes soft. She just drop down and scared, she almost pee from scared. "What did you actually did? Tell me!" demand her.
"What did I do? It is I that i want to ask you. What did I do wrong that you do this to me?" Said Old Wu calmly.
"You.... You hypocrite! Don't you dare mock me!" yell the madam. He must be know why did she do this, yet he dare to ask her. As stupid and naive this steward is, she knows that Old Wu already understand.
"Sigh... Is the money really mean everything to you." Old Wu just sigh, did people really put money above everything else? Does loyalty of him working in this household mean nothing to her. He doesn't even want the money, as he thinks about it if she demand that he give up the right of inheritance, he probably give it, since he already old and he has no family of his own.
"Don't you give me that bullshit!" Said the madam furiously. "You guys! What did you stop? Kill him now!" demand her.
Yet nobody move. How can the rest of the mercenary move anyway, all of them saw what happen to their leader, the strongest of them all. He is so strong, yet some slight push knock him out, they don't even know if their leader still alive or not. All they can do now is just stay still, and hope that the woman doesn't make Old Wu mad, or they would also bear the consequence.
"Coward!!!!" yell the madam.
"You! What are you going to do now?" Ask her to Old Wu. "Now that you are a hotshot, you want to take revenge to me, is that it? Go on now hypocrite! Do your best!" She taunt him.
Old Wu just pity her, why is it her heart so clouded, he don't understand.
He then saw the house behind her. While there are not so many fond memory in it, after working to the late master for many years, he still have big loyalty, yet he is now treated like trash.
The unthinkable happen, out of nowhere Old Wu just kowtow.
"What?!!" the madam and the mercenary doesn't understand the scene in front of him. Did he just kowtow to her, did he ask for her forgiveness. Little that they know that he doesn't kowtow to her, but to the house where he served for years, out of loyalty, something that someone that have filthy heart like them won't understand.
Old Wu then slowly stand up. As he already give the last respect to the houshold, he now turn his back.
"This is farewell." Said Old Wu calmly, then walk away slowly.
As the mercenary calm their heart knowing that Old Wu doesn't want to retaliate for their action they surprise that the madam still want to provoke him.
"You hyporcrite! Don't you walk away! Kill him now!" yell the madam.
The mercenary just ignore her, and wish that they can shut her mouth. They already almost survive this ordeal, so please don't provoke him again, all of them think similiarly.
Old Wu just stay walking ignoring what she said. He doesn't want anything again from this household. Now that he already given second chance in life by Wuxia Zi he is planning to leave all of this behind.
"You coward!!!" Yell the madam again to the mercenary that ignore her.
"And you, don't you think you would survive out there!" The madam provoke Old Wu again.
"As strong as you are right now, heaven know why, you will meet someone stronger than you and die!"
"Someone as naive as you just gonna die a dog death you know! Dog death!"
"Don't you dare ignore me now! Come back, finish your job and kill me now!"
As much as the madam shout and provoke him, Old Wu just walk leave them behind without saying a word. In some way, he just glad, glad to put everything behind and start a new.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.

Doctor Who: An Alternate Sequel Series
An alternate sequel to the original Doctor Who series (1963-1989) This is set in an alternate universe to the 21st century Doctor Who and features an alternate 9-13th Doctors. These Doctors will be based on different actors (or rather characters the actors are known for playing,) whose images will be used to represent them. The 9th Doctor will be based on Irish actor Dylan Moran, the 10th Doctor will be based on Tim Curry, whilst the 11th Doctor will be based on Robert Carlyle. The 12th Doctor will be based on Julian Barratt, whilst the 13th Doctor will be based on Julian Richings. I decided to make my Doctor Who fanfic series an alternate sequel as I wanted to match the classic era in tone and style more. The 21st century DW is still canon however. It is simply an alternate universe. Some stories will feature alternate versions of 21st Centruy Who characters. The Doctor from the 21st Century Who universe will also crossover into my universe at some point too. This way I can keep what I like from both the original and revival, whilst creating my own Doctors. Each story will feature a different Doctor, and they will all be at random points in their lives, though as time goes on I do intend to build up my own continuity and history.
