Black Myth: the Supreme Sword

The story began in Amberland, which resided in the Green Continent of Evergreen World. In the Evergreen World, most people became martial warriors by cultivating their bodies and practicing martial techniques. In addition to increasing their lifespan, they could also possess supreme power. They could even fly and go into the sea as well as control the elements. Those martial warriors who cultivated to a high level could even defeat the army of a country alone. Green City was a small town in Amberland. It had a population of tens of thousands of people and many of them were martial warriors. It was a prosperous town in Amberland because there were a lot of mineral veins. In addition to ordinary metal deposits, the most important thing they had there was a mineral resource called Spiritual Stone. It was an important resource that the martial warriors needed to cultivate. In a mine on the outskirts of Green City, a young man was leading his subordinates to fight against a group of invaders. The young man was Nicholas Ye. He was the Young Master of the Ye family in Green City. As the Young Master, he was the future heir of the family. So he had to protect his family's territories. At the same time, there was a gathering in the Ye family's assembly hall in Green City. "In the name of ancestors, after an assessment by the Elders of the family, Nicholas Ye has been assessed to be incompetent and immoral. From now on, Nicholas Ye will be dismissed from his role as the Young Master. Jonathan Ye will inherit the title of the Young Master," the Great Elder Edward Ye walked toward the members of the Ye family who came to participate in the family meeting and announced loudly. Jonathan Ye stood not far behind the Great Elder, a smile on his lips, while the Elders of the Ye Manor lined both sides of the hall. "Why?" At this moment, a timid voice suddenly sounded in the family assembly hall. Everyone looked toward the girl stood at the doorway. She was only twelve years old. Her face was sickly pale and she looked a little frail. Her small hands nervously clenched the skirt of her dress. The girl's name was Victoria Ye, and she was Nicholas's biological sister. When she heard that the family wanted to remove Nicholas from his role as the Young Master, she rushed over despite her illness. The Great Elder frowned when he saw Victoria. "Victoria, what are you doing?" Victoria bowed slightly to the people in the family assembly hall and said timidly, "Elder Edward, Nicholas is the Young Master. Why do you want to dismiss him for no reason?" The Great Elder glanced at Victoria coldly. "This is an important matter in our family. Why are you interrupting us? Leave!" Victoria was obviously a little afraid and didn't dare look directly at the Great Elder, but she still must mustered her courage and walked into the family assembly hall. She bowed to the Elders present on both sides again. "Elders, Nicholas is guarding the family mine in the South Mountain. He is fighting for our family, but you want to dismiss his position as the Young Master over an imposed crime. This is unfair!" "Ridiculous!" the Great Elder said angrily. "It's not up to a little girl like you to judge us. Guards, drag her away." At this time, the new Young Master Jonathan suddenly smiled. "This kind of b***h who doesn't know the rules should be flogged 30 times as a warning to others." The Great Elder said coldly, "Thirty lashes, then!" Two guards of the Ye Manor rushed in. They secretly glanced at Jonathan, and knew their chance to perform had come. The guard Theodore Zhang sneered. "Everyone wants Mr. Jonathan to be the Young Master. Why are you making a fuss?" With that, Theodore raised his hand and slapped Victoria hard. SMACK！ The left side of Victoria's face instantly became red and swollen. She was knocked to the ground. However, she didn't cry. She just covered her cheek firmly. Jonathan nodded with satisfaction when he saw this. "Theodore, you are good. After I become the Young Master, I need ten personal guards. Then, you will be one of them." Hearing this, Theodore was overjoyed and bowed deeply. "I would do anything for you, Mr. Ye." Jonathan nodded slightly. "She has disrupted the family meeting, so there is no need to pity her. Do you understand?" Theodore saw the killing intent in Jonathan's eyes and immediately understood. "Beat her up," he ordered. Theodore kicked Victoria, and swung a rod over three feet long at Victoria's back with another guard. Thud! Thud! Victoria pursed her lips tightly and endured the pain. She only took two strokes before she fainted. Jonathan's eyes shone with a hidden madness and pleasure. With this strength, not to mention 30 lashes, 10 lashes was enough to kill Victoria. BANG! Just as the third strike fell, Theodore saw something and suddenly stopped. Everyone in the family assembly hall turned to look outside. Not far from the family assembly hall, a young man was walking toward them. He was wearing a long robe which was tattered and splattered with blood. It was Nicholas who had rushed back from the mine of South Mountain. When Jonathan saw Nicholas, a cold malicious smile appeared on his face. In the family assembly hall, the Elders frowned. The Great Elder narrowed his eyes. His face was terrifyingly dark. No one knew what he was thinking. When Nicholas saw Victoria motionless under Theodore's rod from a distance, his face suddenly became fierce. "Who the hell gave you the balls to beat my sister?" Theodore's expression changed at once. He quickly looked at Jonathan. When he was about to speak, Nicholas leaped in front of him like a fierce tiger and punched him in the face. BANG! Theodore felt dizzy. He staggered and fell. Nicholas did not stop. He rushed toward Theodore again. At this moment, Jonathan in the family assembly hall suddenly said angrily, "Nicholas, he is my subordinate. How dare you..." Nicholas suddenly stepped on Theodore's chest. Puff! Theodore spat out a mouthful of blood. Seeing this, Jonathan's face became extremely ugly. Nicholas looked up at him and asked fiercely, "Your man?" As Nicholas spoke, he stepped on Theodore's face. Theodore's face instantly became mangled. He kept wailing, "Young master, s-save me..." Nicholas didn't care about Theodore who was bawling for help. He walked quickly to Victoria. Seeing Victoria's condition, Nicholas's heart suddenly ached. He clenched his hands. His whole body trembled slightly. Victoria woke up slowly. When she saw Nicholas, her tears flowed at once. "Nicholas, it hurts. It hurts so much..." Seeing the blood seeping out of Victoria's clothes, Nicholas's expression became fierce. He abruptly rushed to Theodore and kicked his head. BANG! Theodore was sent flying. His head hit the stone steps, and blood immediately splattered everywhere. He died instantly. Seeing this, everyone present was stunned. However, Nicholas did not stop. He suddenly looked at Jonathan and demanded fiercely, "How dare you beat my sister? Are you asking for death?" With that, Nicholas rushed straight toward Jonathan. The Great Elder's expression changed drastically. "How dare you!" After that, the Great Elder flashed before Nicholas. Then he slapped Nicholas. The slap swept up a stream of air that surged toward Jonathan. The corners of Nicholas's mouth curled into a menacing smile. He clenched his right hand into a fist. The sleeve of his right arm was torn instantly. The next moment, he punched the Great Elder's fist fiercely. BANG! Their fists collided, and an explosion suddenly occurred. Nicholas retreated to the doorway. The Great Elder also took several steps back. Seeing this, everyone present was shocked. In the Green Continent, there were seven levels for martial warriors. The first level was the Body Training realm. It was the most basic realm where one strengthened body functions through cultivating to improve bones and muscles. The second level was the Strength Training realm. It would allow one to train their body and increase their strength, allowing them to possess strength that far surpassed that of ordinary people. The third level was the Inner Strength realm, which was built on the basis of muscles and bones to strengthen the internal organs, breathing, nerves and meridians. The fourth level was the multi-cultivation realm in which the cultivation content of the first three levels was integrated and the flow of energy in the body was controlled. The fifth level was the Boundless Qi realm, where the body began to change. Blood flow and breathing could produce energy. At the sixth level was the Qi Varying realm, where one would be able to condense energy from the physical world for personal use. At the seventh level was the Qi Harnessing realm, where one could continuously produce energy and use it in battle. The Great Elder was a real level seven Qi Harnessing realm cultivator, but Nicholas was only a level five Boundless Qi realm cultivator, two realms lower than the Great Elder. But when they fought, Nicholas was only at a slight disadvantage. The Great Elder was shocked. He knew that Nicholas was very talented and was the Young Master carefully nurtured by the Ye Manor. Moreover, he risked his life constantly fighting for the Ye family. But he did not expect Nicholas's combat strength to be so strong. Thinking of this, the killing intent in the depths of the Great Elder's eyes became even stronger. The Great Elder stared at Nicholas. "Nicholas, how dare you attack the Young Master in public?" Nicholas frowned slightly. "Young Master?" The Great Elder sneered. "Nicholas, I forgot to tell you. The Elders have decided unanimously. You have been dismissed as the Young Master. From now on, Jonathan is the Young Master of the Ye family." Nicholas smiled maliciously and said, "I fought for the family out there, but you are here dismissing me as the Young Master?" The Great Elder sneered and pointed at Jonathan not far away. "How can you compare with Jonathan? He is the newly awakened Chosen One!"
