Great Swordsman
Ch.8 - Serious Issues

“Ahh yes of course.”

Ciao Yi woke up from his daydream and replied. His heart suddenly became agitated for no apparent reason.

“Good, great!”

Xu Feng looked at Ciao Yi and smiled faintly. There was no emotion in his voice, as if he was talking to a corpse.

“Senior, you know our boss?”

One of the young men interrupted their conversation and spoke respectfully. There was happiness on his face. He was happy that his boss knew a powerful expert.

“About so..”

Xu Feng simply nodded and gave a vague answer.

“Great.!”

The young man immediately shouted happily. Both partners are equally happy. They immediately approached Ciao Yi with sparkling eyes

“Why don't you ever talk to us about this boss?”

“That's right, why did you never tell us that you had a relationship with a strong expert?”

Ciao Yi could only smile awkwardly and inwardly wanted to curse those followers. He himself was already sweating coldly knowing Xu Feng had actually come to settle matters with him.

“There are things I need to talk to your boss.”

Xu Feng ignored their conversation and pointed at Ciao Yi. He then asked them to take the corpse of their comrade and bring it home first to the sect.

Either out of respect for Xu Feng's strength or because Xu Feng was an acquaintance of Ciao Yi, they did not think long and immediately listened to him.

The cultivators were already used to seeing death in this world so they were not so depressed by the death of their comrades. But still, there was still sadness in the eyes of each of the young men.

Seeing their backs getting further away, Xu Feng's smile immediately turned cold.

“Do not waste time, you should already know why I'm looking for you!”

Xu Feng kicked Ciao Yi to the ground and pressed his stomach violently. Ciao Yi was on the same stage as Xu Feng, but he was so weak after a long battle that Xu Feng could easily take him down.

“Hiss, what do you mean?”

Ciao Yi inhaled a breath of cold air as Xu Feng stepped on the wound that was on his stomach.

“Stop pretending! What's your purpose in telling me those false rumors?”

Xu Feng pressed down on Ciao Yi's wound even harder and the young man immediately let out a growl of pain.

“Wait, I really don't understand what you mean!”

Ciao Yi gritted his teeth as he looked at Xu Feng hatefully. And Xu Feng naturally noticed those emotions.

“A belief huh? Hehe let's see how long your faith can last.”

Xu Feng smiled coldly while playing his sword lightly. And immediately, a roar of pain mixed with anger from a young man sounded in this silent forest.

Xu Feng used every means to get Ciao Yi to tell the truth, but the man seemed to be very stubborn.

Xu Feng was even slightly impressed by Ciao Yi's confidence.

But the man's confidence was finally shattered when Xu Feng started using his sword and slowly skinned Ciao Yi.

“Uhuk uhuk stop! I'll talk.”

Ciao Yi roared weakly. Blood flowed from his mouth and he looked at Xu Feng in horror. What he saw was no longer a silver-haired youth but a human-skinned demon.

“Ohh already want to open your mouth so soon? I actually still want to have fun.”

Xu Feng raised his eyebrows and spoke to Ciao Yi in a joking tone. But that joke made Ciao Yi even more frightened.

“Quite okay!? I'll talk!”

Ciao Yi shouted hysterically and immediately vomited out everything he knew.

The longer Xu Feng listened, the more serious his expression became and when Ciao Yi finished with his words, Xu Feng's countenance was already extremely ugly.

“Damn!! .. What kind of luck is this?”

As it was known, evil cultivators were cultivators who nurtured the souls of the people they killed to be able to ascend to the next stage. The more souls they gathered, the faster they rose to the next stage.

But that's not the root of the problem.

The problem was that the one who had Ciao Yi spread rumors was an elder of the Lotus Sect.

That person was named Feng Yang, and served as the outer elder of the Lotus Sect. And even worse, Feng Yang was actually an evil cultivator who sneaked in and managed to obtain an important position without anyone knowing his true identity. Not even the sect master.

Every month, elder Feng Yan would ask Ciao Yi, one of his pawns, to look for a weak outer disciple who could be made as a target.

His goal was clear, Feng Yan would kill them and use their souls to progress his cultivation.

“So elder Feng Yan let you deliberately lie to me?”

“He wants me to believe and come to the Thousand Night Forest so he can kill without being known to the outside world?”

Xu Feng looked at Ciao Yi with a grim face. The latter nodded in response.

“Dirty pieces..!!”

Xu Feng immediately kicked Ciao Yi in the stomach, his eyes showing tremendous anger.

“You demon cultivators are a disgrace to us humans!”

“Say, how many innocent lives have died at your hands? You fuckers!!”

This was the first time Xu Feng hated someone so much. He could not accept how someone would kill blindly just for the sake of strength.

“Uhuk uhuk, you won't understand Xu Feng! We are just people who yearn for strength in order to live eternally!”

Ciao Yi coughed and grimaced in pain.

“Life everlasting? Hahaha Ciao Yi, what good is eternal life if it comes to sacrificing the lives of innocent people?”

“I'd rather die than follow your bullshit path!”

Xu Fen spat and looked down at Ciao Yi.

Xu Feng was a man who was also prepared to kill anyone who blocked his path. But that doesn't mean he'll kill innocent people blindly.

He will only kill those who need to be killed.

For example, the man in front of him.

“Your hand is too dirty Ciao Yi..”

Xu Feng let out a cold snort and directly swung his sword without waiting for a response from Ciao Yi.

People like this do not deserve to be left alive. They have gone too far down the wrong path.

The young man had no time to react and helplessly watched Xu Feng's sword draw closer.

“Ka..You..”

Ciao Yi held onto his neck that was already drenched in blood. His eyes glared so sharp, full of grudges and fury. He wanted to say something but no sound came out of his mouth.

In the end, the young man slowly lost his consciousness.

Xu Feng watched Ciao Yi's death process indifferently. After confirming Ciao Yi's death, he immediately approached the corpses of the two Beetles Tigers and cut off useful parts such as fangs, claws and skin.

Xu Feng did not take the meat because he had nowhere to hold it. Also, it would slow down Xu Feng's movements, which could actually bring danger in this forest.

“It's a pity that I can't bring home the demon beast cores.”

Xu Feng clicked his tongue. Keep in mind that only adult demonic beasts had cores inside his body, so there was no hope for Xu Feng to bring home the demon beast cores.

The core was located next to the heart of every demon beast and was ball-shaped. The core absorbed the qi energy naturally from nature and strengthened the body of the demonic beast every second. This was also the reason why demonic beasts were so powerful.

After finishing his work, Xu Feng immediately left.

As for Ciao Yi's corpse, Xu Feng just let it go. It would not wait long before some demonic beasts came to the place because it smelled the smell of blood.

Ciao Yi's body won't last until tomorrow morning.
