At that moment, Logan Walker's expression suddenly changed, and a strong sense of danger surged in his heart. Almost instinctively, Logan Walker slashed downward with his right palm.

Clang! A sharp dagger fell to the ground in response.

The blade of the dagger glowed blue, clearly coated with deadly poison.

An ambush!

His face full of disbelief, the "sister" in his arms slipped away like a fish.

Logan Walker sprang to his feet, staring intently at the "sister" before him. Aside from the suffocating murderous aura emanating from her, he couldn't spot a single flaw!

"Sir Xinghe, you truly are formidable!" Failing in her ambush, the other party, seething with hatred and fury, asked in a cold voice, "So, does this mean my companions have already..."

"They're already on their way!" Logan Walker replied grimly.

He then asked, "Where is my sister?"

"Your sister? Hahaha!" The woman suddenly burst into wild laughter. "Wherever my companions went, that's where your sister went!"

Logan Walker's pupils widened abruptly. "You killed her?"

"You're absolutely right. Not only did I kill her, I even refined her corpse into a certain drug, hahaha!"

Logan Walker's heart instantly sank to the bottom. He growled, "If that's the case, then you can die too!"

Logan Walker let out a bitter laugh, his entire aura surging violently. The blazing sun true energy roared within him as he reached out with his palm.

The dagger on the ground flew back, sucked into Logan Walker's hand. The blazing sun true energy burst forth, shooting out a chilling blue light.

Whoosh!

A strike with no resistance—a fatal blow.

It pierced straight into the woman's throat.

Even though he knew all his enemies were dead, Logan Walker felt no joy, only a near-maddening grief—

Sister, in this life, he would never find anyone closer than his sister.

The blazing sun true energy within him continued to boil. Suddenly, Logan Walker felt a sharp pain in his chest, and with a retch, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted from his throat.

Logan Walker's face changed slightly. Then, he felt the true energy inside him boiling like scalding water.

This was bad!

It turned out that for the past few months, Logan Walker had been trying to use his true energy to break through his bottleneck and reach the next level. The true energy had been accumulating inside him, and he had planned to clear it out today. But unexpectedly, he was targeted by the Blood Rose assassins, and overused his true energy, making things even worse.

Signs of true energy backlash had appeared!

This backlash was the greatest taboo for martial artists. At best, it would cause them to go mad; at worst, instant death.

Logan Walker staggered, leaning against the table, gasping for breath. Suddenly, his eyes landed on the tabletop. There, pressed under a weight, was a note.

"Xiao Wu, my work unit is organizing an event in the countryside. I probably won't be back for about a week. During this time, you must take good care of yourself, okay?"

Logan Walker was stunned, then his thoughts raced. The assassin had only come today, so his sister should have already left... Could it be that his sister wasn't dead?

His emotions swung wildly, and the backlash grew even worse.

He pulled out his phone, his hands trembling as he dialed his sister's number.

"Hello, Xiao Wu? Did you see the note I left you?"

A clear, familiar voice. Logan Walker's anxious heart finally relaxed.

He gently hung up the phone, and another mouthful of blood spurted out.

He murmured to himself, "Sister, from now on, you must take care of yourself..."

Logan Walker's steps grew more and more unsteady, his vision blurred, and his mind became increasingly unclear. He kept muttering, "Sister... Xiao Wu can no longer take care of you from now on..."

The backlash of true energy sent internal fire rampaging through his organs. Logan Walker's consciousness grew even hazier, and he could no longer take another step...

A legendary folk hero, a prodigy of the ancient martial world, the youngest ancient martial grandmaster in history, Logan Walker, met a tragic end in this small room, perishing from true energy backlash!

Chapter 0002: Reborn in a Humble Family

"Blake, Blake, will you answer your sister?"

"Blake, you've been unconscious for three days. The doctor said if you don't wake up by tomorrow morning, you never will. Blake, you are the only hope of the Qin family in Donglin Town, the lifeblood of your father and sister. You must live, for your father and sister, for the family, you must live, do you hear me? Blake, you've always listened to your sister since you were little, wake up quickly, your sister is begging you..."

In a daze, Logan Walker seemed to hear the sound of sobbing and grief, followed by a faint fragrance of a young girl wafting into his nose.

His nose and mouth were blocked by this scent, soft and comforting. He realized he seemed to be lying in a young girl's embrace.

Although this was an experience he had never had before, his mind still foggy, he instinctively struggled a bit. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his chest, making him struggle again involuntarily.

The girl holding him looked down in surprise. Their eyes met, and he saw a pair of eyes clearer than spring water, more dazzling than the stars.

"Blake?" The girl's starry eyes sparkled, her radiance overflowing. The girl who had been crying like a pear blossom in the rain was now overjoyed, hugging Logan Walker tightly.

"Blake!?" Logan Walker wondered if he was hearing things. When did he get a new name?

This girl called herself "sister," but with that face and age, how could she possibly be his sister?
