Chapter 5: 5
Perking up into a grin, Zhuo Fan picked up on her intent .
Young miss had to be thinking he was insane, yet she still did not want him to die . As they were speaking, she was looking for a chance to hide him behind the guards .
“What are you waiting for? Get him over here before he humiliates us further . ” Luo Yunchang shouted at the guards .
Before anyone even moved, a bloody blade rested on Zhuo Fan’s neck .
“Wait!”
Steward Sun snickered, his eyes piercing through Luo Yunchang’s as he had figured out her plan . “He-he-he, young miss is as kind as ever, wanting to save even a mentally unstable servant . ”
Luo Yunchang raged, “Steward Sun, you won’t let even the demented live?”
“Ha-ha-ha, right back at you . If you don’t want the innocent to die, take out the Returning Dragon Palm . We don’t care if our blades get slick with the blood of one more man . ”
With that, the bandit brushed the edge along Zhuo Fan’s face and sported a bloodthirsty grin .
Luo Yunchang pursed her lips, hesitation visible in her eyes, yet still decided to close them .
Zhuo Fan understood .
Although the young miss had no plan to save him by taking the martial art out, as his mistress, it filled him with gratitude just from hesitating .
But in the end, it would come down to him if he could save himself .
Taking a look back at the bandit, he found a fat man of the same height at 7th layer of Foundation Establishment .
[It should be doable!]
Zhuo Fan clenched his fist and gathered Yuan Qi in his left, eyes flashing with ruthlessness .
“Humph, since you’re so stubborn, Zhuo Fan will be the first to die because of you . ” Steward Sun’s hand dropped, staring at Luo Yunchang’s pain-filled eyes, “Fatty, kill him . ”

He grinned, and raised the blade way up high .
It was then that a thump echoed out, soon followed by bone snapping along with the fat man’s wails .
His blade had long ago slipped from his hand .
Zhuo Fan picked it up and decapitated the man .
Blood spurted and a large head trailed the air .
Zhuo Fan was only in the 5th layer of Foundation Establishment, yet his Yuan Qi was something only a Qi Condensation expert would possess . In a moment of the fat man’s ignorance, he elbowed his chest and snapped his ribcage .
He followed with a swing of the sword in one smooth motion .
None could even react as the fat man’s head flew from his shoulder .
Plop!
The bloody head rolled around and stopped right before Steward Sun .
He looked dumbly at the familiar face, incredulous of the outcome .
He saw Zhuo Fan grow up in the Luo clan and knew the kind of person he was . He was honest to a fault, a slave begging to be picked on .
Yet this sheep bared its fangs like a tiger, killing a 7th layer Foundation Establishment expert in one strike . It was done with such brutality that it even shook the bandits .
The guards on Luo clan’s side were even more devastated . Was he the same man they used to laugh with, the same honest to god Zhuo Fan? Leaving the kill aside, his quick and brutal act was something not even the captain of the guards could match .
Every single one of them stood in shock, watching dumbly as blood dripped down Zhuo Fan’s blade, to the point they forgot even to breathe .
If Zhuo Fan didn’t take this chance to leave, he’d never get another .
Zhuo Fan’s eyes squinted, pressed his advantage and threw the bloody saber at Steward Sun . all the while running for young miss and young master . By the time the saber arrived, he was already before Luo Yunchang .

One hand held Luo Yunhai while the other grabbed her, running like hell deeper into the forest .
Luo Yunchang was still in a daze, letting him pull her .
Steward Sun saw the target slipping away again and panicked, “After them!”
But the captain and his guards were there to block them .
“Humph, think you can stop us?” Steward Sun said with cruelty .
The captain smiled and shook his head, “No, but we can buy them some time for them to get away . ”
“He-he-he, with you dead, you still think they can escape?”
Taking one last look in their direction, the captain nodded, “If it was before, perhaps no . But they have that boy . ”
The guards nodded, with their trust in Zhuo Fan beginning to grow in their hearts .
They might not know why Zhuo Fan was so bold all of a sudden, but with him next to the young miss and young master, their chances of survival were high .
Gnashing his teeth, Steward Sun looked darkly beyond them, “That brat dares to meddle in my affairs . Once I get my hands on him, I will flay him . I’ll make him wish for death!”

8 178Battle Hardened
Formerly know as "Long experience" I have changed the name due to feedback saying it sounding like a dick joke. When the apocalypse started most people ran or hid, but Texas has a different mentality. This story follows the exploits of a group of physically and mentally damaged military veterans that have found themselves on the frontline fight at the end of the world. Zombies, robots, and aliens are only the first enemies they fight in what wil become humanity's long war or last stant against to a hostile universe. This series is actually based on a series of strange and bizarre dreams/nightmares I had on 2010 and heavily influenced by my reading of Humanity Fuck Yeah stories. Cover: I actually made a much larger cover than necessary and was forced to crop out two thirds of it, the full image can be found here http://fav.me/ddkz10t
8 196The Lord of the Opera house (DISCONTINUED)
The Zürtzün Empire. Once a mighty nation, it was plunged into war, completely devastating it. The people of Zürtzün felt deep bitterness towards their former enemies and intense anger towards their King, who they felt had betrayed them by dragging them into a war they didn't want to be a part of. The drastically falling popularity of the King marked the beginning of a war fought within the Imperial capital of Zürtzün, a war of deception and political intrigue with many different parties vying for power in the face of the King's decline. But one party proved to be more ruthless than the rest. The Adlerschrank emerged a powerful party and wiped off almost all their opponents right off the map. They seized control of the Imperial capital and the rest of Zürtzün, placing their leader, the Herrscher, at the top position of power. He was charismatic and passionate and the people of the Empire came to adore him more than they ever did their King. With his dangerous fanaticism, he won them over. He promised them wealth. He promised them power. He promised them vengeance. He promised them a war, one where the Empire would reestablish itself and crush its enemies. With the eastern lowlands under their iron grip and the ever-growing wariness from their snow-laden neighbour, Myromnmiat, the Empire and its cohorts are left at a crossroads. Is it finally to reclaim the Empire's lost glory? Or will war make the mighty Zürtzün draw it's last breath? But deep in the heart of the nation, a poison is brewing. The Opera house, the enforcers of the Herrscher's rule and the exterminators of the Empire's "pests", has been neglected and left to rot. Or so it goes, in the eyes of a seemingly insignificant, but hardworking desk writer. He plans to escape the clutches of the Opera house but inadvertently plunges himself headfirst into the house's affairs...
