A wonder falling down from heaven! A boy possessed by strange blood! Gods tremble! Demons flee! A boy from the land of Dong Zhou. A pink skull as his sworn friend until death. A story of a determined warrior struggling for power. A legend that shakes the galaxy and disturbs the worlds of god, demon and man.
The sound accompanying the red light was so abrupt and loud that it shook Shi Mu and the three Windstrider Hou* into a jump.
[Hou is a mystical creature in Chinse folklore which most resembles a dog. It has a pretty crappy temper and loves to have fun (on other beings' expense). Some people say that Hou is the natual predator for dragons, 'cause they eat dragon brains; Some say Hou is the posterity of dragons, and is exclusive with the job of supervising the Emperor of China.]

"That's the guy!" Shi Mu's eyes flashed in recognition. This man had left quite an impression on Shi Mu—after all, he was one of the muscular, Earth-rank men who had left on his own.
