《Kueng Ning》Book 1: Meridians. Chapter 1: Prologue
Advertisement
A lone man stands on top of a mountain, looking over the horizon at the approaching army of humans, beasts, and demons. He laughed loudly, which even reach the armies’ ears. Within seconds, the three armies had reach the foot of the mountain, all of them staring angrily at the man, who was slowly descending down.
As the man touched the ground, he began to look towards the three armies. In a calm yet tone he said.
“This is a very rare sight to behold, the three races of the world, who hate each other’s guts, are here side by side to kill me? I feel much honored”
The three armies did not respond at what the man said, they continued to remain silent.
“I know why you have come here. However, you we’re too late”
Once the man said that, a large amount of beast carcass appeared in front of him, but that wasn’t the only thing that appeared. The other two things, that appeared was five decapitated heads and a burnt golden book.
Once the three armies saw the things that suddenly appeared, they immediately stared at the man with bloodshot eyes and they started to release their Qi. The man sensing that they we’re trying to suffocate them with their Qi, he laughed loudly and shot up straight into the air and said.
“Let us bath this land with blood!”
The man started circulate his Qi towards his palm, and a visible blackish-red Qi, started to be seen. Without a moment’s thought, he immediately aimed it towards the army. A large black-red hand started to fall towards the three armies. They immediately ran away from the blood-red hand, however not all have escaped as some have been crushed into bloodied pieces of dust by the hand.
Once the debris cleared up, only an endless pool of blood could be seen. Then, they heard laughter, the man was actually enjoying the sight of blood. The three armies’ anger reached a whole new level, casually killing their kin, made them furious.
The beasts howled loudly, the humans started to circulate their Qi to their weapons, the demons flew up in the air and started to circulate their MoQi. The three armies’ commander looked at each other, and without saying anything a mutual alliance was formed.
The first one to strike was the demons, the general with black hair and red eyes, with two ominous black wings, wielding a large spear. He rushed towards the man with his army of demons following close behind.
From laughter to seriousness, the man looked at the approaching demon general, and suddenly three black swords appeared behind him. The demon general, raised his spear up enshrouded by MoQi and swung it towards the man.

However, the three black swords began to move and block the spear from reaching the man. A clash between the two weapons. Black-Red Qi versus MoQi. The class of the two Qi’s resulted in a shockwave, that made the demon general and other demons cough up large amount of blood.
Before the man could will the swords to finish off the demon general, an azure dragon descended from the sky’s and quickly whipped the man with its tail. However, the three black swords did not follow the man, instead it took upon itself to finish off the demon general and the rest of the demons off.
As he kept falling, a large paw suddenly appeared before his eyes and struck him right to the ground with tremendous force, but even this only caused him to laugh louder. The white tiger immediately retreated, and now a red bird, flew into the air and started too descended down on the man.
Once the red bird made impact, it immediately retreated and then a dark dome suddenly appeared and encased the man within the raging flames of the phoenix. The three swords quickly stopped massacring the demon army and started attacking the dark dome, but it was of no use.
Everyone looked towards the dark dome to see the raging flames go out, and what remained was a man, with barely any flesh standing up and looking at the three armies happily. Once they saw this, they unconsciously took a step back, they felt a shiver run up their spine, as they never have faced an enemy that would laugh so happily in the face of death.
“Humans, quickly seal him!” the one who broke everyone out of a daze was a large green turtle with a black snake for a tail. The Humans, quickly surrounded the dark dome, and started to initiate the sealing formation, however at that time, the dome was slowly being broken by the man’s numerous techniques.
The three swords, quickly changed their target to the humans in charge of the formation, however they we’re hindered by the beast general, demon general as well as the human general. The swords had no choice but to kill everyone if they wanted to save their master, but can they? In such as short amount of time.
Slowly, golden chains started to sprout from the ground and constrict the man. But, the man only gave a cold laugh before destroying golden chain. The human had a shock look before pouring more of their Qi into the formation.
The other races did not lag behind as well, slowly, the people giving their Qi to the formation numbered to millions. More gold chains erupted from the ground and constricted the man, and this time he was not able to destroy the golden chains.

Slowly, his whole body except his head was being covered in golden chains. Seeing that he could do no more, the turtle dispersed the dark dome, and revealed the man without any skin on his face, smiling at them.
The three dark swords quickly hovered above the man. The three generals, as well as the four guardians of the world, looked at the man. Silence filled the air that was until the man released his black-red Qi, and made a gigantic pillar.
When they saw this, they wanted to rush in and stop him, however a dark wall had been erected separating them and him. Everyone looked at the giant turtle, who had a fearful expression. This made have shock expression, for one of the guardians of the world to become fearful, made them silent and could only watch.
As the black-red pillar started to disappear, the three black swords, circled around the man before shooting up into the sky’s, disappearing with the pillar and in the sights of the army. The dark wall was now gone and they once again looked at the man, who was old, and was turning to dust.
“AHAHAHA! 2nd Generation Guardians, Human, Beast and Demon Cultivators! To actually work together and using your combined Qi to trap me! I congratulate you all. However, this battle seems to end rather anticlimactic, don’t you think? Let this be a reminder to all of you! Million Sword Rain Fall!” After smiling one last time and turning to dust, they all looked up in the black red sky.
Emerging from the clouds, we’re a million black-red swords made from pure Qi. Slowly, the skies we’re now filled completely with swords. Then, it came slamming down on them. The turtle erected another large dome to protect everyone, however it was futile as it was easily destroyed.
As each individual sword fell, hundreds would die, either by being impaled by the sword itself or die from the powerful shockwave. The Million Sword Rain Fall lasted for a second, and in that time, the three armies we’re destroyed.
The survivors we’re the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Red Bird, Green Turtle, Human General, Demon General, and Beast General. They we’re all severely injured and bleeding profusely, but they lived, they lived through the attack of their fearsome enemy, and he was no more.
Though, injured and we’re naturally enemies, the three generals couldn’t help but cheer into the skies together. After a while, they decided to return to their respective territories, however as they we’re about to leave, a voice resounded in their heads, followed by an image.
“My death has already been set, no need to rejoice, as my descendant will follow after me soon. My reign is over, however he will be just starting. Are you interested in teaching him? Will you kill him? Use him? And this time, you humans, demons, beast as well as the four guardians will not be able to stop him. AHAHAHAHA” as the dead man’s voice faded, a picture appeared in their head. It was a child, wrapped in cloth being held by a person wearing a black clothing.
Once the vision faded, everyone face’s stiffened, they we’re unable to determine, where this person and child is. What they do know is that, they will have to get to the child first, as it will boost up their military once properly nurtured. However, in their hearts, they know that if they do not get to the child and allow him to grow, and they mistakenly offended him, then there will be no hope for their country.
The three generals immediately used their remaining Qi, to get to their country as fast as possible to deliver the message, of good and bad news. The four guardians stayed, contemplating about the vision, for them it was very, very familiar.
“They will not be able to find the child, as long as she is at his side” the green turtle said.
“But, soon enough, even she will leave the child on his own” the red bird said.
“However, this is turning out to be truly interesting” the white tiger said.
“This time, we the 2nd generation will not intervene. We have to respect the wishes of the 1st generation” the azure dragon said, and the others nodded in agreement. After a while, they went to their respective territories, watching over the world, as it slowly changes.
The man who killed the 1st generation guardians.
The man who decapitated the royal family.
The man who stole the number one cultivation technique from the Demon Lord.
That man was now dead, everyone rejoiced, except for the leaders of the country. They we’re too worried about the child, who could every bring glory or destruction to their country. From there on, they have decided that all children under ten would be tested, and immediately put in a sect.
