Great Swordsman
Ch.55 - Travel Home

After the Heavenly Sword Technique advanced to the advanced realm, Xu Feng's energy units were only five left. Xu Feng glanced at the Steel Body Technique, which happened to only require five units of energy to advance into the elementary realm.

Xu Feng wasted no time and chose improvement. Immediately, his mind was re-filled by thousands of information and memories, at the same time his bones and muscles underwent a great change.

The body of the Fifth Stage was again strengthened, bringing Xu Feng's body's defense to a whole new level.

“Finally.”.

Xu Feng exhaled a sigh of relief, aside from the Alchemist Profession Book, everything on the panel had been successfully learned.

The changes that occurred for approximately 10 minutes were earth-shaking, Xu Feng's strength was increasingly rising to an unreasonable level, he said, he had basically reached a point where most people could only dream.

At the border, Xu Feng had become an unshakable king.

“Master, all preparations are done.” Tan Shuang slowly stood up from the bed when Xu Feng returned, he was helped by the support of the maids and entered the horse carriage that had been parked outside the Pavilion.

When Xu Feng came out, he saw the sea of residents who had already clenched the items and stood in rows, those who were injured had long been transported into the horse carriage, the report said, there are dozens of cars ready to travel.

“Please.” Tan Shuang opened the curtain of the carriage and let Xu Feng in.

Xu Feng nodded modestly and entered the carriage, the interior of the carriage was beautiful and comfortable, with a warm feather floor and velvet cushions, Xu Feng was slightly impressed by it.

Not long after, after Tan Shuang gave the order, the troupe began the journey. Their chariot was the front one, followed by various other horse carriages, behind which was a sea of people following.

“Ke Village Xue!” Xu Feng gave a simple order and soon the group left Tan Village, the residents had burned the entire village as well as burned the corpses they had not had time to bury.

The thick smoke soaring into the background of the group's departure, the bright red glow of fire that shone brightly on the cold night showed the lonely backs of over a thousand survivors, it was a tragic and sad picture.

“What happened?”

Xu Feng's eyebrows shot up when the carriage came to a sudden stop, he stepped forward and opened the curtain while asking the carriage driver.

“Master, there are refugees who drive the road ahead.” The driver pointed into the distance, in front of the group were dozens of people with various luggage on their backs, all of them looking anxious and worried.

Each refugee looked at each other before one of them ventured to come forward and speak, “Please, can we come along? Our village has just been destroyed by bandit.”

“Hmm!?”

Xu Feng's countenance turned serious, he didn't expect to hear such news when he had just saved Tan Village. Thinking back, Xu Feng was a little anxious, it seemed like the bandits were targeting the entire border.

“If you want to come, don't drive the way! We are in a hurry.”

Xu Feng shouted before telling the driver to continue on his way, his heart growing more agitated over time.

“Damn, I hope all is well.” Xu Feng cursed inwardly, he did not expect the bandits to act this far, he was unwilling to question what was going on exactly.

The party continued on its way and Xu Feng forced to speed up the speed of the carriage. The further they went, the more refugees they met on the way, most of them came from different villages but all came for the same reason, their villages were destroyed by bandits.

At this point Xu Feng was already very anxious, he counted and confirmed from the mouths of the refugees that at least five villages had been destroyed, all in just one day.

“Fuck fucker!”

Xu Feng's eyes turned cold, the conditions on the border seemed to be more chaotic than he expected, he was sure all the bandit groups had descended the mountain to bring about a catastrophe.

“Master, will everything be fine?”

Xu Feng shook his head in silence, he himself was unsure. He stared at Tan Shuang a little longer, in his heart there was a desire to leave this entourage and advance to Xue Village alone.

“Forget.”

Xu Feng exhaled helplessly, he did not know what danger would come to these people if he left him halfway.

“Village Xue is at the end of the border, should the bandits have not reached it.”

Xu Feng calmed his heart and began to think clearly, his judgment was not without basis. This was a war, the bandits would not be so foolish as to directly stab further without knocking the village behind them, it was just like leaving room for the enemy to carry out a pincer attack.

“There is still time.”

Xu Feng's heart regained its calm, he closed his eyes while sitting cross-legged, more thoughts and calculations flashed within his head.

“This person.”

Tan Shuang looked at Xu Feng who was sitting in silence, he was surprised by Xu Feng's calmness in this severe situation, not many people could do it, he was surprised by Xu Feng, especially for a young man who had to bear thousands of lives on his shoulders.

The pressure that responsibility brings is enormous.

Not long after, Tan Shuang felt an explosion of aura from Xu Feng's body spreading over the entire entourage, his heart instantly shaken.

“This level of aura should not be from the Fourth Stage!”

Tan Shuang's eyes were wide open, his body trembled as he felt the immense oppression and strength of Xu Feng's body, he felt like there was an ancient ferocious beast hiding behind that human facade, he felt like there was an ancient beast hiding behind, his aura was so arrogant and domineering.

“A Master!”

Tan Shuang reached a conclusion, her beautiful face flushed with excitement, she did not expect Xu Feng would hide his strength all along.

Xu Feng on the other hand was still very calm, he was sitting cross-legged while feeling the feedback from the surroundings covered by his aura, he was like a god who was watching everything that was happening.

Not long after, he felt the presence of several figures in the distance.

“Stop!”

Xu Feng suddenly exclaimed and jumped out of the carriage. In the distance ahead, right at the crossroads between Xue Village and Huo Village, were three men who each held different weapons such as swords, spears and whips.

Xu Feng stood on the roof of the carriage, the three people were also aware of the presence of the entourage in the distance, they even saw the small dot of a young man standing silently on top of the carriage.

“Hahaha we finally got a great meal after a day of waiting here.”

One of the men wearing a sword laughed softly, he licked his sword while staring at the entourage with a bloodlust, his face was very crooked and full of cruelty.

In front of the three of them were already lying many corpses but the bodies of the three of them were very clean without the slightest blood spot.

“Leader seems right, putting us here to banish those who managed to escape is indeed the right choice.”

The spearheaded man chimed in with a sweet smile, he looked polite except for the fact that two skulls were stuck at the end of his staff and dozens of disembodied heads formed like the middle mountain he was sitting on.

“Hehe after this only one village left before all the border areas of Leaf Town Fall were defeated.” The man with the whip smiled widely, on his neck was a necklace made of human fingers.
