Light Cultivation
Eps. 118 — Princess Request
Jian Chen now chose to advance first using his ice sword, not letting them have any premonition let alone planning on escaping.
With his nimble sword technique Jian Chen instantly suppressed the eleven people, showering their bodies with sword slashes.
It didn't take long until one of them fell on Jian Chen's sword, the ice sword was so sharp it was no less distant than a sword in general.
Although one more person had been killed in fact the remaining 10 people did not escape but continued to attack Jian Chen. Those ten people actually wanted to escape from not being confident of winning the fight let alone killing his opponent.
They were afraid that when Jian Chen escaped killing him first while continuing to fight him was not the right choice, just a matter of time they would be killed as well.
The ten people agreed that Jian Chen was too strong to deal with let alone his body that continued to let out cold air made them not feel at home for a long time.
Jian Chen poured more and more power into his ice sword then changed his sword technique using the moon sword technique.
“Half Moon Sword Technique ~ Reflection Rain Drops!”
Jian Chen's body split into five, every single reflection of him facing his 2 enemies.
This technique was the same technique as before only Jian Chen increased the strength of his technique to become stronger.
If Jian Chen could split himself into three then the number had increased by two, This was due to Jian Chen already comprehending the moon sword technique more deeply and also due to Jian Chen's already increasing cultivation strength.
The moon sword technique was indeed a sword technique that could adjust the strength of its user. For example a reflection of the raindrops, if Jian Chen's cultivation was stronger than now he could break his body even more even up to a dozen.
It did not take long for half of the number of enemies killed due to the technique, now there are only five more people left.
Jian Chen was about to swing his sword the umpteenth time but suddenly his ice sword broke into pieces.
“Eh?” Jian Chen looked at his hand which was now not holding a sword, he was at a loss before understanding the situation. “It looks like this ice sword cannot withstand that much amount of inner power from the moon sword technique.”.
Jian Chen was certainly aware of having increased the strength of the technique to such a stage that it was beyond the strength of his sword. He sighed before creating another ice sword.
The remaining five people gulped, they wanted to kneel in surrender but watching Jian Chen who was smiling widely while killing his comrades made them undo his intentions.
Jian Chen smiled coldly at the desperation of his opponent, he did not wait for them and directly attacked back.
The five people only survived with all their might from Jian Chen's attack, hoping for Jian Chen to pity him or for a miracle to appear yet it didn't happen.
Four other people were killed shortly afterwards and now leaves one more person, the Chairman of the 12 Killer Cages.
Jian Chen did not directly finish him off but rather interrogated him first, an ice sword was placed on the man's neck.
“Did if I told you this you would free me?” ask the Chairman.
Jian Chen stroked his chin, “Depending, if you were to be honest and divulge all the information you know I might consider it..”.
The chairman nodded quickly, he was ready to answer Jian Chen's question.
“Starting from you, where are you from?”
“I...” The man immediately hesitated but seeing Jian Chen move the ice sword on his neck frightened him and opened his voice. “We are from the Liu clan, a group of 12 Killer Fangs assigned to kill someone.”
Jian Chen continued his interrogation. “If you guys fail the assassination plan on the academy's disciples, will the Liu clan not start a war with the Chu clan?”
The chairman was surprised, he did not understand how Jian Chen knew his clan's plans going forward. Indeed, these few months the Liu clan was gathering strength secretly to start a war.
Realizing Jian Chen knew many things from his clan, the Chairman assumed Jian Chen was testing his honesty rather than scraping through information.
“Actually this assassination is one of the many missions to bring down the Chu clan, although for no reason we will attack the Chu clan.”
“Why is that so, you are not afraid of other clans attacking your clan?”
“Klan Liu has now allied with four other great clans to attack the Chu clan, if the Niu clan had not experienced a coup failure it might have been 5 clans on the Liu clan's side. With such strength no one dares to go against our clan.”.
The chairman added that the Liu clan is also working with certain organizations to ensure this plan is successful.
Jian Chen massaged his aching head, not expecting the situation in the capital to be this severe. If he thwarts this murder, it doesn't change the situation much.
“The turmoil in the capital is already at its end point, just a matter of time a larger war will occur.” Jian Chen let out a long sigh, saying, one thing he regretted was not strong enough to stop it all, the only way was to indeed meet his teacher as quickly as he could.
In the end Jian Chen kept killing the Chairman, the middle-aged man was not even aware his life was uprooted when his head was suddenly severed.
“There is no proper punishment for a murderer other than being killed, you have lost many innocent lives in your hands.” Jian Chen stared coldly at the headless corpse.
Jian Chen looked at the 12 bodies he had killed lying everywhere, he was about to bury them but Lily from inside suddenly shouted.
“Hey, before you bury him absorbently first cultivate them for me!” he said in a loud voice.
“What do you mean?”
“Don't pretend to forget or be stupid, I told you how I got stronger. I can't be at the beginning of cultivation like this continue, I want to be strong!”
Lily had once explained to Jian Chen how his cultivation went up by absorbing the cultivation of others who were already dead.
In the martial world, even though a swordsman lost his life, the cultivation on his body remained for many years before it finally disappeared. Depending on the height of cultivation, the higher it is, the longer it disappears from the body of a swordsman.
Jian Chen was a little heavy on accepting the woman's request, despite knowing the girl in reality Lily was still new to Jian Chen's life.
Lily clucked repeatedly while shaking her head, she understood where Jian Chen's thoughts were now.
“I have said this many times, should I repeat it ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times or a million times so that you believe that I have no evil intentions on you!” Lily clucked in annoyance. “I am Mr. Princess, even if I intend to harm you then I will use honorable means rather than stabbing from behind.”
“Can you harm me when your cultivation is above me?” Jian Chen did not cover his guard.
“Hey, stupid! I'm in your hands now, if you use the chains in the crystal I'm powerless and you can seal me back!”
Jian Chen was speechless, it was hard to disappear the doubts in his heart.
“Argh! It's up to you, whether you want to absorb it or not I don't care, fuck it!” Lily said frustrated, for a long time the girl in the red dress was getting upset talking to the young man.
Lily folded her hands over her chest and threw out a face, the girl was really angry at Jian Chen and would not speak to him again.
