On a scorching day, sun was shining brightly.
There was lonely desert. And on the end very far away could be seen a deadly forest.
A boy was walking on the desert. He was wearing ragged clothes. He is stumbling . He could fall at any moment.
Blood foot marks could be seen on the desert along the path he is walking.
The boy is naturally 'Duan Yu Han Fang'. The heaven defying genius of the Ancient 'Han Clan'. Who is now nothing then a waste? His dantian is crippled and he can never practice martial path again in his life.
"why is heaven's toying with me?" the boy howled over towards heavens.
"If the heavens ever dared grow eyes, I would tear them apart."Madness danced in his gaze—where once there had been light, now only the void stared back.The cold in his eyes ran deeper than winter's death.If a mere glance could kill, his victim would die a thousand times before they ever hit the ground.
"I will obliterate the heavens," he said, and in his eyes burned a murderous fury.Not hatred alone—but a cold, deliberate promise of ruin.What once held light now shimmered with the hunger to destroy even the divine.
If a person loses someone precious that person will become like this. 'Duan Yu Han Fang' is no exception.
He like a lifeless body wandering with no aim.
He is walking along the lifeless desert without any care for his. Blood was splitting all along the way.
If a person is crippled he cannot go on the path of martial path. He will be forever be a mortal. He will age and die early unlike martial artists who can walk on the path of immortal.
So basically now, 'Duan Yu Han Fang' is mortal. And will forever be.
Mortal cannot defy the heavens like martial artists. it is difficult for martial artist also but not impossible.
The distance 'Duan Yu Han Fang' walked on the desert if is walked by any other mortal he should have died by now or his legs should have gave up.
But 'Duan Yu Han Fang' is still walking.Through smoke. Through silence. Through the echoes of things long lost.Is it willpower that drives him?Or is it foolishness, wearing the mask of courage?Maybe it's both.Maybe that's what it takes to challenge the heavens.
…..
'Duan Yu Han Fang' somehow reached the forest.
Inside the forest at a certain there was a stone table.
On the table a beautiful small girl was resting unconscious. She has very good face and beautifull red hair.
'Duan Yu Han Fang' was walking lifelessly the inside of the forest. But at the middle of the forest.
But when he saw the girl on the girl , tears started flowing and he ran towards the girl to embrace her.
"Sister Xian'er… Sister Xian'er… Sister Xian'er…" he was calling her name again and again as tears streamed down from his eyes, but she did not woke up.
So it turns out she is his adopted sister 'Han Xianer'. After the incident, he woke up in the middle of the desert wounded. He thought no one from his clan was not left alive but it seems fate has something different upon its sleeves.
"Kid, give up. She will not wake up now. " a raging voice shook the entire forest, like thunder clawing at the earth.
A black hood person came in front of them. seeing this 'Duan Yu Han Fang' embraced 'Han Xianer' and came on guard.
"kid give up. I can kill both of you without even moving" Black hood person spoke. He is the same person who had came to destroy the 'Han Clan' along with others but vanished them in the midst's of battle after his talk with 'Han Man'.
A towering pressure pinned down 'Duan Yu Han Fang'.. he could not even move a inch.
"kid listen to what I have to say?" black hood person spoke.
"why should i??" 'Duan Yu Han Fang' spoke coldly.
"ahh!" pressure increased on him.he coughed a mouthful of fresh blood.
"listen!!" black hood person spoke coldly.
If not for his sister 'Duan Yu Han Fang' already would have went forward at the intention of kill. He knew that one wrong action and this person in front of him can kill both of them in an instant.
"Kid, I know you don't like me. But I'm the boss here, so listen carefully to what I say..."A pause. Heavy. Measured."Your… I mean, the clan which adopted you... they're no longer part of the Great Power Continent." black hood person spoke.
"what…? Clan got wiped??" "no impossible!!" 'Duan Yu Han Fang' got shaken to the core. Tears started flowing uncontrollably. Although he had already expected it, but actually confirming the truth had greater impact.
"How... how…?"His voice trembled."What about Father?"Duan Yu Han Fang asked, barely able to control his breath the words he spoke.
The black-hooded figure didn't flinch."Your father... didn't make it."
"No!!! Fatherrr!!!" 'Duan Yu Han Fang' howled in sadness.
Black-hooded figure had a pause. Then, colder:"Thanks to my colleagues—and the enemies your adopted clan made."
"what… ? that means you also???" 'Duan Yu Han Fang' spoke
"kid that is not the full story . I cannot tell you now but I still have some part… in this" black hood person spoke.
"due to wish for revenge??" black hood person asked.
"revnege??" hearing this towering killing gushed forth. "yesss!" 'Duan Yu Han Fang' spoke in rage."
"Good... but what about your sister?"
"if you go on revenge now, what about her? she will surely die. So what will you do now?, not only them, even I can kill you now anytime without even blinking my eye." black hood person asked. Although the black hood person had took them after his chat with 'Han Man', there is something else in his mind.
'Duan Yu Han Fang' looked towards his sister in sadness. "I will protect her" he said firmly.
"You? You're nothing but a cripple now."The black-hooded man sneered, his laughter cold and harsh."What can you even do… hahha."
"this…?" reality had stuck 'Duan Yu Han Fang'. He is a cripple now who can't practice cripple. He can't even protect himself, forget about protecting his sister and extracting revenge.
"let's make a bet then." Black hood person calmly spoke
"what bet?" 'Duan Yu Han Fang' asked confusedly
"Do you want revenge... and to protect your sister?"The black-hooded figure's voice was laced with mockery."Make your choice, cripple Kid."
"yes" 'Duan Yu Han Fang' said firmly
"good. I will take your sister your sister to my sect and make her stronger and you come find her when you are strong. Ok?" black hood person spoke.
"this ???" 'Duan Yu Han Fang' did not expect the person who came to destroy his family was giving such a generous offer.
"are you scared?? The path is very lonely and dangerous "black hood person laughed.
"scared? Why will I ? I have already have already nearly died once. I was barely alive. So I am not afraid.""But how can I believe you??!!" 'Duan Yu Han Fang' firmly spoke. No matter how good the offer this person was giving, he was still an enemy he may have to kill in future, so could not believe him.
In this world of martial path, no one would want to keep a person who may come to kill him in the future alive unless he is a fool.
"Kid, it's up to you if you don't want to believe. You don't have any other choice" (Black Hood Person)
" " (Duan Yu Han Fang)
"good!. Kid when you become stronger comes find me. I will tell you everything I knew and about the incident" black hood person spoke.
"ok" 'Duan Yu Han Fang' had no choice, so he agreed.
"how can I find you?" 'Duan Yu Han Fang' asked.
Black hood person threw a small stone to 'Duan Yu Han Fang' and spoke "kid come to
""Pheonix Night Demon Sect""
And use this stone stone to find me.ok?" black hood person spoke
"ok" 'Duan Yu Han Fang' spoke.
"kid what is your name ?" black hood person asked
"my name is 'Duan Yu Han Fang' "'Duan Yu Han Fang' firmly spoke.
" Duan kid what is the name of your sister? 'Han ' is now a taboo on the continent" black hood person asked. Ever since the 'Han Clan' got destroyed, 'Han' has ceased exist. So, he, one the perpetuator cannot use the word, 'Han' to call 'Duan Yu Han Fang's' sister.
"this ? let's call her 'Duan Yu Han Xianer' " 'Duan Yu Han Fang' spoke.
"good" black hood person agreed.
"mr black ?" 'Duan Yu Han Fang' asked
"what kid Duan" black hood person asked.
"what is yout name?" 'Duan Yu Han Fang' asked
"just call me mr Black" " ok see ya come find me when you are stronger"
Black hood person vanished with 'Duan Yu Han Xiane'r'
'Duan Yu Han Fang' stayed still for there.
"Heavens, I, Duan Yu Han Fang, will defy you!"His voice thundered through the forest, raw with anguish and burning with newfound resolve."I will become stronger. I will avenge my clansmen and my father. I will protect my sister."His fists clenched, and his gaze turned to the heavens."I will burn the heavens!"His howl echoed, a declaration of war against fate itself.
"I will walk the Martial Path of the Cripple," he vowed,"A path with no future, and I will carve my own future upon it."
With that, Duan Yu Han Fang turned and began his journey into the heart of the forest,Where shadows whispered of legends yet to be written.
___________
After 'Duan Yu Han Fang', vanished inside the forest, shadow of the Black Hood Person could be seen hovering above the forest.
He was watching 'Dun Yu Han Fang'.
"Han Man, I have done what I have promised you. I will help you daughter become stronger" "As for this kid, his fate is already sealed. If he can overcome it, will be a miracle."
"Hahhha!! Let's see, Kid. As per what was told to me, I should kill you now but, if you can overcome, it will be thing a to see"
"As for her..." He took a glance at 'Han Xianer' in his hand. "She will definitely become a monster who can trample on Martial Arts World on this continent..."
He took out an ancient looking badge, glance over it and vanished with 'Han Xianer' in his hand.
Even this person would not expect what this kid whose fate is already sealed will cause in future….
___________
"Hmm!?" A shadow could be seen moving towards the path 'Duan Yu Han Fang' went.
Stay tuned for Chapter 9…
