The Azure Sword God
Powerless

Jian Chen did not give up on the fate that determined his destiny to become someone great in the future. Although his Birth Weapon was considered dregs by Ku Zuo, he did not believe in it at all.

When he exited the Resurrection Temple, Jian Chen went outside Shanghai because there was no point in remaining in the city. He did not want to be the subject of many people's mockery, nor, if he remained in that city, would there be nothing that made him strong.

However, one thing Jian Chen had thought of the entire time. The Birth Form or Birth Weapon was created through the evolution that occurred in humans. Which means, there must be an opportunity to increase evolution to the next stage. That was what made Jian Chen not give up at all.

Also, because of his Birth Weapon which was considered dregs by Ku Zuo, he no longer told any further about the world of cultivators because he felt it was unimportant.

Every time a child followed the resurrection ceremony, it was certain that they entered the realm of early stage cultivators. Jian Chen understood that because he often read books and stories when he was on Earth in 2022. The path of cultivation had its own level and that was the information required by Jian Chen.

Also, Jian Chen speculated that there was a level stage of each awakening that Ku Zuo had not said.

After the resurrection ceremony earlier, Jian Chen was also already able to see something faint in the air like translucent dew. He instantly knew that it was the qi that went into his body earlier to awaken the Birth Weapon stored in his body.

Right now, Jian Chen was just thinking of going to find the right solution for his Birth Weapon. He also had to hide it knowing that the Birth Weapon would separate from the body when it was resurrected. The owner and the Birth Weapon would have certain connections. The Birth Weapon was the part of a person's body that resurrected him.

From Ku Zuo's words, only 1 in 1,000 children awakened the Birth Weapon which meant that it was very special even though each of the Birth Weapons had its own level.

While traveling out of Shanghai, Jian Chen sensed that someone was following him. He understood that they were Zugong's group even though he didn't see them.

Knowing that he was being followed, Jian Chen immediately ran because he was close to the Shanghai city gate.

Jian Chen ran over with all his might knowing that it was not the time to deal with all those children at this time. He could have been killed because the Zugong group did not think twice about beating him to death on a hill not far from Shanghai.

After running for more than 5 minutes and exiting the city of Shanghai, Jian Chen who had an extremely weak body was instantly exhausted.

“Sial! This body is very fragile!” Shouted Jian Chen inwardly. He still felt that about four children did not stop to pursue him.

However, one thing Jian Chen did not know at the moment. He was completely unaware that he could track down some of the children who followed him. This was something that a child like Jian Chen could not do.

“Huft.. Huft.. Huft.” The breathless Jian Chen was no longer able to run and stopped around the forest he entered. He slowly sat down on a tree trunk. His eyes were twitching with incredible fatigue.

“At last you stopped running too?”

A person's voice rang out in Jian Chen's ears which made him petrified on the spot. His gaze looked towards the side and found Zugong together with his three friends putting on a cruel face.

“Zugong!” Jian Chen gritted his teeth as he looked at the child who was already close to him. He slowly stood up and continued to think about how to escape the fourth chase.

“Do you remember the last time that you embarrassed me in public? It's time you paid for what you did!” Zugong with a cruel expression pulled out a short knife from his clothes.

Jian Chen could only stare at the four of them with a cold gaze. He had no choice but to take out his sword.

When Jian Chen drew the sword, the four of them were slightly startled then burst into laughter as they looked at the rusted sword in Jian Chen's hand.

“Do you want to fight using that rusty iron? What a funny joke! This time you won't survive like last time! Let's get this kid done!” Shouted Zugong and directly moved towards Jian Chen along with his three companions.

As the four of them approached, Jian Chen simply gritted his teeth and took the right time to swing the rusted sword in his hand.

When one of Zugong's friends approached, Jian Chen immediately swung the rusted sword in his hand with all his might.

Taps!

But unfortunately the sword was captured easily by Zugong's friend who made Jian Chen petrified.

“Sial!” It was all Jian Chen could shout in his heart as a punch came close to his face.

Maidservant!

Jian Chen's face was hit by a crushing blow which made his gaze slightly blurred. Now he realized that the child before him was not one of the children who attended the resurrection ceremony and of course he was more than 12 years old which means, the level of strength of the child must have been higher than all the children who had just attended the resurrection ceremony.

The other two children also dealt blows to Jian Chen with all their might. They did not give any mercy at all because of the orders from Zugong. Of course the three complied because Zugong had paid them.

Jian Chen could only protect his face when beaten constantly. He had already fallen down on the ground and around him, three children were beating him enthusiastically while Zugong was just watching with an evil smile on his face.

“Stop!” Zugong's orders.

The three children stopped and looked at Jian Chen who was lying on the ground with bruises all over his body.

Even a lot of blood was seen coming out of Jian Chen's nose at the moment because his body was very weak and could not possibly be able to defend against three children older than him.

“Jian Chen. oh, Jian Chen. You looked very different when you met again. Normally you would never dare to speak just when I looked at you! You know what this is?” Zugong played the small knife in his hand with a cruel smile.

Jian Chen who had a blurry look was silent. He felt that his history would end at this time.

As Jian Chen remained silent, Zugong was bored and stood on top of Jian Chen.

“Time for you to die!” Shouted Zugong and directly pierced the small blade towards Jian Chen's stomach.

Jem!

The deg! The deg! The deg!

Jian Chen's heart beat extremely fast as it felt an immense pain in his stomach. Blood was seen flowing out from his stomach at this moment.

“Am I going to die?” Jian Chen's inner and his gaze started to blur as too much blood came out from his extremely weak body.

“Basic loser! This is the result if you try to make me angry!” Zugong said in a cruel tone.

Jian Chen was furious hearing it at this moment. He did not accept being played by Zugong from a long time ago. If only his memory had returned sooner, he would not have allowed an event like this to happen.

Zugong pulled the short blade lodged in Jian Chen's stomach.

“You... will... pay for it!” Jian Chen said weakly.

Hearing Jian Chen's words which Zugong thought were Jian Chen's last words, he laughed loudly along with his friends.

“I will not die! I will not die!” Shouted Jian Chen inwardly. His determination to survive made his almost lost consciousness return slowly.

And something inside Jian Chen's body came back beating. The longer it takes, the faster it beats.

A large amount of Qi around the place was moving towards Jian Chen unwittingly by the four children who were still laughing loosely while staring at Jian Chen.

Sensing something rushing within his body, Jian Chen instantly understood that something beating within his body was an object that the old man had given him, the Eternal Purple Crystal.
