"We should rest in this village first." Fu Chen looked at his seemingly exhausted friends.
They had traveled for several weeks since leaving the sect. Their journey is slow because they want to enjoy time together.
Although he had stopped at several villages but Fu Chen had not had time to increase his cultivation. So far Fu Chen could not get the calm because of the noise made by his friends.
The nine youths stepped on their feet heavily, their faces looking lethargic and powerless. They had been running for two days because they had run out of food supplies and among them, Sin Lou was the most tormented because of the great sword he carried.
They then entered a simple tavern in the village and immediately took off all the luggage there. Fu Chen only smiled for a moment looking at her, then ordered some food and water to the waiter there.
The ninth night the young man was staying at a small inn, even with only a few rooms inside. They do not complain much, as this is also to save money.
"Hey, where are you going?" Sin Lou asked when he saw Fu Chen was about to exit the inn.
"I want to take a look at this Village for a while," Fu Chen replied as he waved his hand, without turning his head towards Sin Lou.
Sin Lou only shrugged his shoulders for a moment before returning to the peek. His body was too tired to walk.
Fu Chen then looked for another inn, he wanted to increase his cultivation which was already at the threshold. After a while, Fu Chen finally found a sizable inn with 2 floors.
The first floor of the inn was a tavern, the place still looked crowded despite the late night. Fu Chen slightly ignored him and approached the cashier to reserve a room.
"The room on the second floor is quite expensive, do you have the money to order it?" the cashier said slightly tautly upon seeing Fu Chen's shabby appearance.
Fu Chen frowned for a moment before sighing softly, "How much do you want?"
Fu Chen took out ten gold coins from under his robe, then threw them on the table and made the cashier gulp.
"I-this with this money you can use the room you like for an entire month, Young Master." The cashier smiled meaningfully, the boy carrying that kind of money must have a rich background, the cashier thought.
Fu Chen smiled faintly and took back the money he had put down, leaving only one gold coin. The cashier gave Fu Chen the room key while trying to hold back his co-conspiracy. Fu Chen advised that no one would disturb him while in the room.
"50 pieces of silver are too expensive for such a small room." Fu Chen sighed softly.he immediately focused himself after inspecting the bed there.
Fu Chen could feel the energy within his overflowing dantian, it might only need a small push for him to reach the realm of late stage first-rate swordsmen.
Fu Chen took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "I hope this isn't too long."
The energy within Fu Chen's dantian seemed to swirl, his body felt surrounded by qi energy which then entered Fu Chen's body slowly. After several hours of hermitage, an explosion of energy from within Fu Chen's body made the wind blow out, until the window of the room opened.
Fu Chen opened his eyes slowly, he could feel that his dantian was slightly enlarged and his gaze was also getting clearer. Fu Chen needed another hour to adjust his body, the previously scattered qi was now re-absorbed into Fu Chen's body.
"Ah...my body feels much more powerful," Fu Chen said while inspecting his body.but he felt dissatisfied that he continued his cultivation until morning came.
In the morning, Fu Chen and his friends searched for information on where Wutang Village was located for a full day. Luckily there was a merchant who described the direction towards the village.
The next night, Fu Chen returned to the inn he had booked. As he wanted to begin his cultivation, Fu Chen's ears faintly heard the clattering of horse steps towards the inn. Out of curiosity Fu Chen opened the window to look at them.
The group of horsemen was only about five people, their clothes were black, in harmony with the horses they wore. The people were very noisy, they were blabbering along the way without caring about the people around.
The group then tied their horses right in the courtyard of the inn which made the scene go bad.
"Braak!!"
One of them kicked the door of the inn and broke it. The people on the first floor of the inn were shocked, but they could only remain silent without daring to reprimand or simply eat a meal.
"Cih, enough this time I became the man's errand boy," said one of the men known as 'swordsman A' while snorting in annoyance.
"You how else, even the Chairman does not dare to refute his words." said swordsman B.
"The ck of this rotten place is also filled with disgusting filth!" The swordsman A looked at the guests there cynically, "What are you waiting for, get out of here quick, motherfucker!"
Upon hearing the order, without a second thought the entire guest immediately ran out of the inn, not caring about their unpaid dishes. It made the warrior A smile satisfied to see him.
"Hey! Call the owner of this place to face me." Swordsman A came up to the cashier and looked at him sharply.
"B-but..-"
Fu Chen who heard the commotion on the first floor was curious, he eavesdropped on every conversation the warriors had from near the stairs. From this he knew they were just lackeys, but what made Fu Chen curious was who ruled over the five Fighter Generals.
The swordsmen asked to prepare the best dish while waiting for the inn owner. Even they did not hesitate to tease the waiter there. Fu Chen originally wanted to interfere, but the strength of the warriors was far above him, he did not want to die silly just because of the affairs of others.
After a few minutes the innkeeper arrived, his face was pale and sweaty. He had heard the news about the destruction of several villages due to the actions of a group of warriors. The owner of this inn was worried that the warriors in his place were now part of them.
"W-What's the matter, sir?"
"Oh, did you take care of this inn?"
"Truly Sir…"
The swordsman A chuckled for a moment, "Prepare all the best wine you have now! Ah, I also want to borrow this girl," That Swordsman A licked his lips as he stroked the servant's hair he held in his arms, "Remember! I don't accept any offers!"
"Lord I beg you to take whatever is here, but please do not take my daughter.." The innkeeper prostrated himself at the feet of Swordsman A.
"You didn't hear? I don't accept any offers!" Swordsman A kicked the innkeeper and laughed out loud, followed by his other comrades.
"Dad…!! Ahk-h!" The servant girl wanted to approach her father, but her hair was immediately pulled by the swordsman A.
Fu Chen grew increasingly furious at their behavior, he thought of a way to paralyze them without having to make an intense fight, because he was unlikely to win if he fought openly.
"Ah right!" Fu Chen's eyes flashed, he immediately took out a few daggers from the Earth's ring, then poured quite a lot of qi on the dagger. Fu Chen was looking for the right gap to attack them, with the abilities of the swordsmen it was impossible for them to be unconscious with his qi energy.
"What else is it? Do you want to see how I use your son's body here?" said Pendekar A while licking the cheek of the servant girl.
"Hahaha, you can count on ha-Ugghk!" The swordsman C could not finish his sentence when a dagger stuck to his neck. The other swordsmen immediately gasped when they realized it, but before they could react, some daggers immediately followed and stuck in their heads.
"Hey-What's-! Agh!"
"Yeah!!"
Fu Chen then appeared after making sure the entire swordsman was dead, leaving only the warrior A. Fu Chen asked the girl to stay away, while he would take care of this one bastard.
"Ah! Who are you Fuck!" Swordsman A was trying to withstand the pain of a dagger that felt tearing his stomach.
Fu Chen's actions that revealed a sword in the air left the swordsman half-dead shocked. He had seen someone do the same thing and that person was a terrible figure that their Chairman feared.
"Luckily! I'll give you whatever you want to let me live! Achh!" erang Pendekar A because the wound feels more pain. As he examined it, it turned out that there was still a stream of qi from the dagger that was gnawing at his body.
"Just like you, I don't accept any offers either." Fu Chen smiled coldly, then slashed his sword which was already in the qi aliri quite a lot.
The Chief Swordsman A was rolling like a ball, Fu Chen did not expect that the attack could sever the head of a Combat General. Perhaps this was because his strength had already increased the day before.
The servant girl was cowering in fear in her father's arms, while the innkeeper was looking at Fu Chen with a complicated look.
"Ah I'm sorry, I'll clean it up later. You guys are okay, right?"
"Why, why did you kill him?!" asked the innkeeper in a snarling tone.
Fu Chen slightly furrowed his brows, "What do you mean-?"
"Don't you know who they are? This village will be destroyed because you killed a member of that warrior group! You are bringing havoc to this village!!"
"Dad stop-!"
Fu Chen's facial sharpness instantly changed, a gentle smile had faded from his face and turned into a flat expression.
Fu Chen snorted softly and ignoring the old man's ravings, he picked up the daggers he used then flicked his hands into the air and made the corpses of the warriors disappear.
"Use your brain after this!"
Fu Chen returned to his room, leaving the innkeeper who was still cursing him nonstop. Fu Chen then left the room and regrouped with his friends.
