"Zin Shi, run! I will buy you time to escape! Hurry!" Kam Shi, an old man with gray and withering hair, shouted as he coughed up a mouthful of blood. His internal organs were misplaced and he was gravely injured. He was holding his sword in defense, and trying to catch his breath.

They were currently fleeing from an overlord-level beast, One-eyed Frog. As the two were below Overlord Realm, they were, of course, not a match against the beast. Actually, they did not expect that they will encounter such a powerful beast here in this type of lowly mountain. After all, this mountain was famous for its medicinal herbs and never had any dangers within. In fact, there was never a report that an overlord-level beast was residing here. Unfortunately, they met one.

"Grandpa, what are you saying?! If we will die, then we will die together! I will not leave your ass here dying! If I did, you think I can face my father? Our clan? You said that we will show them that we are worthy of being a member of Shi Clan!" Zin Shi, a beauty with a short red hair, said with determination. She was more than willing to die with her grandfather. After all, even they return to their clan, they were just treated as something that was worse than trash.

"Zin\'er, what are you saying?! You are the hope of the clan in order to grow! The Shi Clan needs you! This old man is dying anyway. What\'s wrong with dying earlier?" Kam Shi said as he flicked the forehead of his granddaughter with affection. Although he was feeling numb all around his body, he could still smile.

Seeing the eyes of his grandfather filled with resolution and hope, Zin Shi bit her lower lip until it bled. She wanted to say something to rebuke his grandfather but she did not have the guts to do so. So she just planted her feet in the ground without moving. Even her legs were shaking in fear, she still chose to stand by his grandfather\'s side.

Kam Shi was speechless for a moment in his heart when he saw that his dear granddaughter had no plan of leaving. He sighed in his heart and said softly, "Silly girl, if you die with me here, do you think I can rest in peace? Please... just see this as my one last favor to you. You are still young. You have a long way to go, while me? I already reached mine and I\'m more than satisfied with that. So, go now before that frog appears. I want you to live!"

"Grandfather..." Zin Shi\'s body trembled as she heard the words of her grandfather. At that moment, she was trying to weigh her grandfather and her dream. Which was more important? But whatever she chose, both would be satisfying for her even it meant dying. After all, she did not know how to live without her only kin.

Baaam! Baaaam!

A series of loud steps could be heard near the place where Zin Shi and Kam Shi was. Each step was like an earthquake with a terrifying magnet pulling them down.

"Zin\'er, go! That frog is here! Go! Please, go! Just go!" Kam Shi said with a dark expression. He wiped the blood on the side of his lips and prepared himself. He turned his back and smiled saying, "Live on, my dear granddaughter."

Whoooooooooosh!

Kam Shi charged forward in order to catch the attention of the incoming frog without turning back.

"Grandfather!!" Zin Shi\'s heart jumped in fright as she saw her grandfather recklessly charging forward just to catch the frog\'s sight. She knew that he did this for her to have time to run away as far as possible. However, her deep worry for her grandfather won over the reason for running away. Like a stone statue, she just dumbly stood there with her face pale white.

"Beast, I am here!" When Kam Shi caught sight of the beast, he immediately shouted to catch its attention. After all, what if it saw Zin Shi? Probably, it would target her first since she was young and meaty.

As expected, the One-eyed Frog, a massive green, with dark scales with a hideous appearance, appeared in his sight. This frog could bring terror to anyone below the Overlord Realm. Just a stare from its blood-shot eyes, one would already tremble in fear and lose all hope to survive. What\'s more, once this beast locked your smell, no matter what you do and wherever you go, it could still find you.

"Rubbert!" The One-eyed Frog crooked with a heinous voice. Staring with disdain at Kam Shi like he was like an ant. It did not even look at him for long before it swung its big head as if it was searching for something.

"Damn beast!" Kam Shi howled in anger. He knew that this beast was looking for his granddaughter. So, he could not let it go. He gripped his sword and charged forward without any plans in his head. He knew very well that no matter how much he tried, he was still not a match. With his current cultivation of ninth stage of Emperor Realm, it was more than given.

"Rubbert!" Just when he was about to try to pierce the sword through the scale of the beast, the One-eyed Frog crooked loudly that made Kam Shi flew away in a violent manner.

Bam!

"Grug!" Kam Shi bumped into a large tree and created a large pit behind him, coughing out a mouthful of blood. His sight blurred, with his body weakening. He released all of his strength left to see if his granddaughter was already away. However, his face got paler when he saw that Zin Shi was still dumbly staring at him with a terrified expression!

"No... don\'t..." Kam Shi wanted to say something, however, his body was not listening to him anymore as he was already near the death\'s door. In the end, he felt as if he was still a failure even in his death. He bitterly smiled and prayed to all the gods, if ever there were, to save Zin Shi before closing his eyes, entering the phase to the next life.

"Grandfather... no..." Due to being extremely terrified, Zin Shi felt her legs weakened and could not move, no matter how much she tried. She wanted to run to Kam Shi to check him. However, the fright covered all her reasoning and did not manage to do what she wanted to do.

Stump! Stump! Stump!

Large and loud stumps pulled Zin Shi to back her reality. She followed where the stumps came from and her face got all white as if all the blood was drained. She stuttered, "I... No..."

She knew she was about to die. However, for some reason, she felt relief.

Zin Shi looked at the lifeless body of his grandfather not that far away from her with indescribable emotions for a moment, closed her eyes, and readied herself for death as tears roll down her face.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!

However, a ray of white light shot down from the sky with an explosive momentum that directly hit the massive One-eyed Frog! It caused a large pit below that span through hundred meters radius. Fortunately, Zin Shi was not affected and was just covered with green blood that splashed from the body of the beast. That ray of light was like a meteor fastly descending from the sky!

As the cloud of smoke disappeared, Zin Shi saw a man with a black hair, wearing a white robe with a smile on his face like he enjoyed playing in the park.

Obviously, this is our protagonist, Jin Rou. He excitedly said,

"I did not know that falling from the sky is this amazing!"
