Chapter. 3. The Beginning Of Disaster

Sufferers of cultivation absorb lightning into their bodies, it is truly excruciating. Sometimes, when Yuan Liong was at the lowest point in his cultivation, he was in a position between being conscious and not.

At that moment, his mind branched and remembered the three demons who had made him suffer. Thus, the intention of taking great revenge always arises in the heart.

***

The peak of Lightning Mountain is famous for being haunted, the thunder booming at any time, and the terrifying beasts and demons, also really like the quiet area. So local people are reluctant to just want to know, let alone to travel to the peak.

Unbeknownst to anyone, in the western area of ​​​​the peak of Mount Lightning, there is a very beautiful, fertile, and calming valley to live in.

The valley is overgrown with various types of flowers, and a small river empties into a waterfall pool. It was as if this place was the most beautiful gift from the Almighty as a parable of the Little Heaven hidden from the world.

To reach the valley, you have to go through the slopes of the trail, beside which there is a very steep ravine with mossy and slippery cobblestones. Thus, adding to the difficulty of the way there.

To the left of the flower garden stands a simple house building filled with wooden furniture.

“Ciaakkk! Haaaaah!” These voices continued to be heard that morning. 

In the backyard of a simple house, there is a human child, he is practicing basic strokes accompanied by regular breathing. 

Beads of sweat continued to flow down the forehead and all over the chest which almost formed small muscles.

The child was still very young, judging by his stature and body structure, he was no more than twelve years old. At first glance, the morning exercises that are always routinely carried out by these children are only basic movements and exercises, not martial arts movements or internal energy training.

But in the eyes of experts, these moves were basic stances and advanced moves, which were very difficult to learn. 

This child never knew that his movements were the basis of martial arts moves because according to his parents' explanations, this movement would make it easier for him when hunting wild animals in the forest in the future.

The boy was very happy to practice every day. So that the movements are ingrained and synchronized with every body movement. Yes, however, it is still the basic movement that a child learns.

“Yuan Han! …Why not come out to greet a visiting distant relative after so many years of not seeing each other!” A voice emitted with high inner strength suddenly resounded in the desolate valley, from a hundred spears away before the humble house was seen.

Then three human figures appeared, standing proudly in the front yard of the modest house.

Hearing the screams, a bright-eyed middle-aged man in a blue suit of simple cloth, opened his eyes and stood up, and greeted the front yard.

The valor of youth can still be seen in this man's posture and gestures. Since this morning, he was still sitting cross-legged in the room, practicing internal energy. Even though he had long since retired from the green world, he still practiced.

Behind this man was a middle-aged woman who was still beautiful, also in a blue suit. They went to the front yard to welcome the sudden guest, this male and female couple used to be known as the Blue Swallow Pair. The man is named Yuan Han and his partner is named Xie Sian Li.

Yuan Han and Xie Sian Li were surprised to see the three guests in their courtyard. These three guests looked fierce in black suits. The one in the lead standing in the middle is known as the Pike-Eyed, the one on the left is known as the Steel Head, and the one on the right is known as the Black Hand.

No one ever knew what the three of their real names were. Ever since the three of them descended into the martial world, they had been known as the Three Devils of the South.

Both Yuan Han and Xie Sian Li knew the three, thirteen years ago they frequently clashed with the three. It is undeniable that the white silat group and the black silat group always clashed from time to time, the pair's surprise was because after thirteen years had passed, it turned out that someone was looking for them in this deserted valley.

Trying to cover up his shock, Yuan Han tactfully said, “After all these years, what was the matter that brought the footsteps of the three brothers into our residence?”

“Ha ha ha!” Laughing scornfully, the Pike-Eyed Demon said, “Male Swallow! You don't act stupid, I know you're still practicing after thirteen years of withdrawing from the martial world, let alone the one you practice in the Book of Five Yangs (Five Heat Forces). Leave the Book of Five Yangs to me! You're just wasting an heirloom with your mediocre talent.”

A slight frown on Yuan Han's forehead was visible. “What do you mean?” he replied, he didn't know the plot of the Pike-Eyed Demon's talk yet.

Without further ado, the Steel-Headed Demon said, “There's no need to say anything else, the first brother, let's just strip this family away.”

“Yuan Han! Even a fool will understand where the awkwardness is, at a young age suddenly resigning from the martial world, why? There are no fighters who give up at a young age, valor is always imprinted on the souls of fighters from the black or white group, are you still pretending to be stupid?” continued the Pike-Eyed Demon.

“Come on, big brother, let's get rid of him and his family right away, this wench is nothing to me,” said the Black Hand Devil as he released a stab at Yuan Han's chest.

Yuan Han who stood up instantly felt the heat of the punch's energy before it reached his chest. He pressed his inner strength and took the hit with his left hand, and retaliated with a punch to the Black-handed Demon's chest.

Before the punch reached the black arm Demon's chest. “Boom!” The sound of the impact of internal energy shook the courtyard of the simple house, high billowing dust filled the air, and two human shadows were pushed back. The Black Arm Demon has only pushed one step away and Yuan Han has pushed two steps away.

Yuan Han's face paled, he knew his inner strength was inferior to that of the Black Armed Demon. “This demon after so many years has grown stronger and more violent,” said Yuan Han, in his heart.

Then he said, “Three brothers, I don't know anything about that Five Yang Book, I also know my talent is mediocre, I don't keep what you guys are looking for. So let's just end it here.”

“Three brave brothers, it's true what my husband said, I've never seen him read, let alone study the book, give a little face to both of us.” Xie Sian Li also defended her husband's words.

Hearing the pair's answer, the faces of the three devils from the South grew even more red and hot, adding to the horror. They are used to living cruelly and no one dares to argue against their wishes, moreover, the three of them don't like to beat around the bush.

“SteelHead Devil! Clean up the two of them, then we'll search their house,” ordered the Devil Pike-Eyes.

A battle broke out between the Blue Swallow Pair and the Steel Head Devil. The SteelHead Devil is very confident with his inner strength and moves, while the Blue Swallow Pair nimbly moves to and fro complementing and dodging each other and occasionally responding with punches that are no less dangerous.

The sound of hitting and fighting in the front yard could be heard at Yuan Liong's training grounds.

The boy had stopped training, he had been quietly hiding on the roof of the house since earlier. He had seen this commotion from the start until now. Without the slightest fear, instead, he was surprised, and it never crossed his mind that his mother and father were a pair of swordsmen.

He still thought that they were just an ordinary family who farmed and hunted in this forest.
