Epic Of The Second Strongest Demonic Blade King Chapter 41
Advertisement
Immediately Xiao Lin came out from the castle, he began to walk back to the town from the densely-populated forest that the castle which his bandit colleagues were dwelling in was.
When he finally arrived at the town, with the hood of his grey hooded cloak pulled over his head so that he won't be noticed by anyone, he began to walk in a random direction.
After walking for sometime, he came before a row of shops and then asked the person in one of the shops that where was the Greensilk Valley and how could he get there.
The shop owner described the direction that he should go in which was the South direction.
When the shop owner described the direction of the Greensilk Valley to him, he gave his thanks with a nod of his head and began to walk towards there, following the description of that shop owner.
After walking for a few hours as the Greensilk Valley was really far away from the street that he was in, he eventually got there.
"Finally!" He said as he pulled his hood down.
He then walked into the valley to look for the bands of three mountains that seemed to be fused together which Deathwind described to him.
After walking for a long time, approximately thirty minutes later, he came across the massive crater that he made into the earth when he crashed into it immediately after he fused with Blood Wolf God Animal Spirit.
He then nodded his head.
"Yea. This is surely the place." He said.
He then began to look around for where the fused group of three mountains were.
After looking around for a few minutes, he saw the mountains many feet away from the crater that was in front of him.
Once he saw it, he produced a vicious smile in his face.

Then without wasting time, he quickly gathered strength in his powerful legs and leaped over the crater which was many feet wide.
Once he landed at the other side of the crater, he dashed towards that group of seemingly merged mountains.
Then with his thick, lustrous claws growing out from his nails, he pushed them into the surface of the mountain and began to climb his way up to the peak of the mountain. And so that he could arrive there in time, he activated his Super Speed ability.
Immediately he did so, he began to climb up really fast to the peak of one of the mountains.
Then many minutes later, precisely thirty minutes later, he got to the peak of one of the tall, towering mountains.
Once he arrived at the peak of that mountain, he looked into the distance and saw a structure that seemed like a sect.
When Xiao Lin saw this, he nodded his head.
Then looking further, he could see a large wooden board in which the name of the sect 'Flowing Cloud Sect' was written in it.
He then began to walk towards the sect to enter and show himself to his ex-sect members.
As he did so, he could hear them discussing things.
"Big brother Zhang Feng, what exactly are we going to tell Master that happened to Xiao Lin? I think that what we did that day was too abrupt. We didn't even think of what to tell Master before bullying Xiao Lin and forcing him to fall to his death." One asked while the others looked at Zhang Feng to hear what he would say.
"It's easy. We would just say that he became tired of everything in here and then decided to leave, since he totally lacked the endurance and patience which are two of the numerous virtues of a true cultivator to wait for our master that long to arrive from where he went to" Zhang Feng said with a smile

Then as soon as he said that, claps began to unexpectedly ring out, which then immediately alerted everyone that began to look around for where the claps were ringing out from.
Not long, Xiao Lin stepped in with a vicious smile in his face.
Once the people within the sect saw Xiao Lin, their bodies and souls shook to their cores, including that of Zhang Feng who then had fear suddenly engulf his heart. However, he dispelled the fear that had taken over his heart in the next moment when he saw that Xiao Lin was only a 3rd-layer Spiritual Ascendant stage cultivator.
"X-Xiao Lin, you are still a-alive?" One of them asked in a stuttering manner.
"Alive? No, I am dead. My resentful ghost came back to haunt you all" Xiao Lin answered with an hideous smile hung on his lips.
"But ghosts aren't real. They are only products of illusions." Another said with narrowed eyes, trying to refute Xiao Lin's statement.
Xiao Lin only maintained the wicked smile in his face.
He then said with his dreadful, beastly-sounding deep voice "You will know in a minute!"
As soon as he said that, he suddenly dashed towards one of them and used the lustrous claws that grew out from the nails of one of his hands to pierce deep into the chest of that person, directly at the heart which he then viciously pulled out, showing the others before him what the heart really looked like.
The person that had his chest effortlessly pierced through by Xiao Lin's thick, razor-sharp claws, couldn't even scream out in pain when he quickly fell dead to the the ground, with blood beginning to rapidly ooze out and at the same time, forcefully spurt like a fountain from the large, grievous wound suddenly made into his chest.
Seeing the speed that he moved at, and how ruthless he were, the other disciples in the sect quickly produced their Animal Spirits which they rapidly fused with in the next moment.
From what Xiao Lin just did, which was the speed that he moved at, he didn't seem to be someone in the 3rd-layer, Spiritual Ascendance stage. That movement speed that he achieved was very close to the speed that could be attained by a 6th-layer or 7th-layer, Spiritual Ascendance stage cultivator.
Xiao Lin only ignored the different types of looks in their faces and focused on the heart in his hand.
Then following the demonic mark condensation technique to condense True Demonic Marks in his dantian, threads of blood which were actually the blood essences, could be seen moving from the heart in his hand towards his arm. The threads of blood essence then pierced through the skin pores of that arm and flowed within his arm to his dantian where they rapidly merged and formed into a single Demonic Mark.
Once this happened, a thin and faint blood-colored aura of oppressive demonic power suddenly bursted out from his body which then retracted back into his body in the next instant.
Xiao Lin then exhaled and dropped the heart held in his hand to the ground which actually shattered into smithereens like it were glass.
He then produced an enjoyable, evil smile in his face in the next instant and said "If you know what is good for you, pull out your hearts from your chests and submit them to me."

8 274The Rig Mechanist’s Maintenance Report
More than a generation had passed since the creation of a new type of weapon, one that outclassed anything else, but the creator put limits on the technology to prevent it from being used in aggressive combat. With the powerful humanoid weapons, rigs, there to stop battles from breaking out, new ways of taking land had to be developed. That led to the sport of rig combat; powerful weapons pitted against each other with countries betting land and resources on the outcome. But it wasn't just the machines and pilots that competed; the workers that ensured the rigs were able to fight had battles of their own. A mechanist's fight begins before the first shot is fired and their minds are their best weapons.
8 108The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.

8 213Directorate: Nationbuilding in Apocalypse
A nation is just a means of survival. Metro Manila fell within 5 months of the first report of cannibalism. Once a hyperurbanized region of 15 million inhabitants, it's been reduced to a dead, greenless shell. Most of the infected had since left to ravage the countryside. The central government was nowhere to be found. Among the survivors who clung to the few gardens and humble plots of arable land left, one of them finds evidence that the slaughter wasn't going to just end with the first wave. Without a nation and a wall of guns, everyone will die. Directorate is an original nationbuilding webnovel that focuses on the gradual rise to power of a select few individuals, and the subsequent unification of the survivors of a devastated Metro Manila. Releases targeted at every 1 to 3 weeks. If there are no chapter updates after 3 weeks, there will be a progress update. Number of releases targeted at a maximum of 100 chapters. Every 10-15 chapters, there will be a 1-month hiatus to let me plan for the next 10-15 chapters. Double releases have a not-insignificant-but-still-small chance of occurring.
