TWO WEEKS already Yang Xiu was at that place. What he does every day is the same. Practice, hunt, search for Spirit Herbs as well as Magic Plan. Now his body, ah rather the body of Lan Lingxi he occupied was not as weak as before. Even now he can lift an adult bear if he wants to.
^^^^^Note: Difference between Spirit Herb and Magic Plan. Spirit Herb as the name suggests is a spiritual plant used as an ingredient for medicine. As for the Magic Plan was originally as an ordinary plant that was contaminated with spiritual energy and long ago contained spiritual energy that was good for cultivation, in essence it was not a medicinal plant.
^^^^^^
His practice had also improved significantly even though he had only risen by one level but that was enough for him at the moment. Want to be able to, however, the cultivation training he did was god cultivation not the immortality cultivation commonly cultivated by human cultivators.
The cultivation of Gods clearly had a higher level than ordinary cultivation. Only, it was also more difficult to raise the level. But it did not matter to Yang Xiu who now had two thousand years of experience, coupled with possessing the rare body constitution, the Jade Body of Light, even though it was one level below the body of his life god, but that was enough to survive in the mortal world. Moreover, in addition to the golden dantian, it was enough to make him be called a genius. So it wasn't too difficult for him to move up the ranks if he wanted to. Goddess Portuna still gave her blessing.
It's just that the foundation is also very important to reach a higher level. So he must not be rushed and greedy in raising the level. For now, Yang Xiu was still at the Mortal stage, the most basic stage of Gods cultivation.
Today, as always. Yang Xiu went to explore the forest for the umpteenth time. For the past two weeks, a third of the forest has been visited and this time he also wants to explore deeper. Who knows if they can find a treasure?
“This forest is too mysterious. Besides having a decent Qi thickness. But it was extremely rare for a Demonic Beast to roam around. Isn't that too weird?”
Long Yang Xiu walked leisurely until he finally chose to observe something from the top of the tree. As he was about to jump using the science of body lightening, Yang Xiu heard a whizzing sound like iron clashing not too far from his place.
“Does anyone fight?” Yang Xiu finally so jumped up the tree to see more clearly where the sound of the iron impact was.
Up above, Yang Xiu saw a man who was being surrounded by five black-robed people with a hood. “Hmm?”
Yang Xiu decided to observe first. He saw that the person under siege was a man who seemed to be of noble descent. Judging from the clothing material that the man was using was of high quality.
“Main keroyokan? The scene is quite cliche in the middle of the forest,” his lips are not too fond of the attitude of black-robed people who use cheating ways to defeat opponents. “They don't seem like killers but rather people who want to kill.”
Yang Xiu refocused his attention on the men who had now been besieged from various sides. Then his eyebrows knit because they found something. “Male cultivation is good. It was just that something was interrupting the flow of his spiritual energy. If he forced himself longer, then his body could explode.” Yang Xiu analyzed.
“Should he be helped?,” asked Yang Xiu to himself. Returning to see who the man was, his smile rose and widened. Finally he again jumped from one branch to another branch to approach the place of battle. This time he made a very good discovery.
~* *~* *~
“Who sent you?” The man asked coldly. He gripped his sword tightly. He had felt pain all over his body, but he ignored it. Today, survival is the main choice.
“Your Majesty, you have so many enemies. Then guess which enemy is our Master.” One of the black-robed people replied and the other welcomed with a mock laugh. They laughed at the man who looked quite pitifully enduring the pain.
They knew the cause because they were the ones who made the man what he is today. “Your Majesty, please give up. You will not win against us in such circumstances.” The others opened their voices.
The man they called ‘Yang Mulia’ was just speechless not replying. His gaze remained cold and piercing, showing a stark hostility. If only he was at his usual state, the black-robed people were not his opponent. It was just that these people were too despicable to use poison when he was off guard. Damn it, but there was never ‘hif’ in life and death.
Today he had a bad luck. He had just returned from war after a year of leaving his country to fight the rebels and expand his territory. But on the way, his entourage is framed to set him apart and eventually stranded in this forest of antisubrity and meet these people who may have been chasing him from the beginning.
He again swung his sword with the remnants of the power that was still there. To hell*n with the pain, today he had to kill them all. Otherwise, he could not think of the worst possible thing that would happen to the Empire.
It was just that, when he started to bring out his strongest technique. Someone suddenly patted his shoulder.
The man was surprised to see the arrival of a girl with a strange appearance. Not only himself, the five black-robed people also did the same. None of them realized his arrival. They became alert because they could not see the level of practice of the girl. They knew she was a girl from the voice and contours of her small body.
The girl who turned out to be Yang Xiu, walked over to them. “Didn't you feel ashamed as men? Playing a wiggle, isn't that so pathetic?” He asked in a cynical tone. He knew they were all men despite being disguised by a robe that covered the entire body.
“Who are you?!” Someone from them pointed at Yang Xiu using his sword.
“Yeah, who I am doesn't matter. It's just that my lack here is because I don't like you guys who don't play fair. The world must have equality, it can only become peaceful. But humans never like peace, haih.” Yang Xiu said as he played the dagger in his hand, at the end of the sentence, his voice shrunk into a mutter. Only the person behind him heard that faint murmur.
The man called ‘Yang Mulia’ was surprised, then gasped when he saw the dagger with a carved handle of a dragon head made of gold in the hands of Yang Xiu. The dagger is his. As a sign that he was an Emperor. When did he take it?
And that dagger also made Yang Xiu know that the man was Gu Shan Bing, the Emperor of Hong Country and the husband of Lan Lingxi. The meeting happened by chance. The sky really looked at him. Maybe next time he should thank the god of Destiny.
“Oh, sorry Your Majesty. I borrow it first. I have no other weapons,” he said lightly (actually he has plenty, but he is only interested in Gu Shan Bing's Dragon-head-handled dagger).
Without warning and impressing all of a sudden, he attacked one of the five people in black robes.
“Aakh! My eyes!” The person who got Yang Xiu's attack groaned in pain holding his injured eye. Red blood immediately gushed from there revealing a horrifying look from the person who lost his sight.
Yang Xiu stood behind the person lightly kicking him to his knees until he was several meters away.
“Hmm, passable,” said Yang Xiu watching the dagger swirling on his fingers while holding his chin.
Everyone was still shocked by the shout of one of the robed men. They simultaneously looked at Yang Xiu, gulping his saliva roughly. Their minds are the same when they see it, “Very fast!”
They were completely unable to see Yang Xiu's movements. There was only a wind that blew fiercely after the shadow that suddenly shot out.
“Next ...”
The four black-robed men were again on high alert when they heard the voice of the girl who had suddenly become the bully.
But, no matter how they prepared themselves, the girl actually had a speed that they could not keep up with.
One-by-one could easily be toppled by Yang Xiu. He really thinks they are just ‘Udang Unfried’ which means they are fools who have not really matured in terms of ability. That's a term he made himself.
“Hap! Five.” He counted when the last victim fell. He didn't kill them, just crippled some fatal nerves so they couldn't make a move ahead.
Actually if the five black-robed people did not underestimate themselves from the start, perhaps Yang Xiu would need a little effort to be able to defeat them. The five people were even foolishly not fighting against Yang Xiu using Qi, probably from being too shocked by the speed that the girl-bodied young man displayed.
