The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
Ch 119: Hunt II

Ling and his partner looked surprised at how the ability to lighten Yang Jian's body. By the time they had used their knowledge to the maximum extent, Yang Jian was even still able to be calm and seemed to be feeling the least bit exhausted. It was as if Yang Jian was still storing large amounts of qi within him.

"It looks like we've misjudged you." Finally the Ling and Yang Jian group arrived at the edge of the forest which would be the location of their hunt at the time when the sun was overhead. The sound of their breathing seemed irregular because they used too much qi while running earlier. Ling stared at Yang Jian's calm astonishment, there was no change in the look on his face, still remaining equally flat. But the group still considered if Yang Jian was not a cultivator, but a prospective cultivator who accidentally studied the science of lightening the body.

Yang Jian simply remained silent, letting the six cultivators recover a bit of energy before entering the forest. Yang Jian saw Ling take out a small black bundle from under his robe. When opened appear six brownish-white pills in the package. Yang Jian knew that the pill was a low-level healing pill.

Healing pills were commonly used by cultivators when carrying out sect missions. This pill can also be used to recover user qi by about ten percent. Within a sect, these pills were easy to find. However if it was owned by an Outer Disciple it was very rarely seen. Only certain people from the Outer Disciple could afford to have them.

Ling seemed to be handing out the pills to his teammates. Then on the last pill Ling handed the pill to Yang Jian. "Take it, you need this more than I do."

Ling's actions made Yang Jian slightly feel moved yet strange at the same time. According to Yang Jian Ling was more deserving of respect than Lin Fei.

"We can share Brother Ling, I don't really need him." One of the other cultivators handed over his pills to Brother Ling. Not wanting to stay silent, some other cultivators also did the same but the results were still rejected by Brother Ling.

"You can keep it for you. I don't need it." Said Yang Jian calmly, "If you guys are done let's start hunting."

Brother Ling and his partner looked dissatisfied at Yang Jian's refusal but none of them dared to voice a protest. The group finally entered the forest, before long began to hear strange sounds from within the forest.

"It seems they're getting closer. Get ready!" Brother Ling instructed his comrade to be on guard and alert. They decided to hide behind the big trees and attack the hunted animals secretly.

"Do you have any storage space?"

"Yes, each group has one dimensional ring to carry."

Yang Jian nodded slowly making the six cultivators feel strange towards Yang Jian's question. The sect did provide one dimensional ring for each group that would do the hunt, the ring would be used as a storage place for the hunted later.

Silently Yang Jian took out a single sword from the dimensional ring. Shortly after the sounds of game animals began to approach, Yang Jian saw that the animal that appeared was not an animal, but a hundred-year-old deer demon.

"That's a deer demon." Say one of the Cultivators. "How can we find a demon this fast." He began to be vigilant. The six cultivators looked unsettled, not usually stealthy around their location because usually demons were located if they entered the forest deeper.

Suddenly Yang Jian jumped against the antelope with a long sword perched beautifully in his hand, Yang Jian's actions suddenly caused Ling's group to round their eyes in disbelief.

"What are you doing? You can't act rashly like that." Ling jumped up to Yang Jian and was followed by five others. They were slightly deploring Yang Jian's implicit actions and were looking at Yang Jian from the antelope demon.

Sensing the presence of a human before him made the demons growl, flashes of emotion like a predator began to radiate. Ling and his partner began to be on high alert and took up arms carefully preparing to welcome the demons.

Yet Yang Jian as if unconcerned about the actions of Ling's group, he raised his gaze and stared intently at the scorpion demon. Just contact the demon group shivered and finally looked down in fear. No more hungry gazes from the silhouette, there was only overwhelming fear and accompanied by a body shaking violently.

The blood of the demon king and queen that fused with Yang Jian's blood made Yang Jian give off the aura of the demon leader. In the eyes of those gazelle demon groups Yang Jian was their ruler. That was why the demon shivered in fear as it stared at Yang Jian. And of course this matter was unknown to Yang Jian.

"What-what happened?" Ling and his team gaped wide to the point that their jaws would fall to the ground. An overwhelming sense of shock was evident from the look on their faces.

"What are you waiting for?" Yang Jian's question immediately resuscitated the group.

Ling and his partner immediately moved forward cautiously and started attacking the demons. But strangely the demon did not do the slightest resistance, only accepted the attack with resignation. It made Ling and his group even more excited and slaughtered dozens of demons without having any resistance.

When all the demons were slaughtered, a satisfied smile rose on Ling's group's face, then Ling immediately put all their hunting results into the dimensional ring with a smile that continued to crack.

Now the gaze of the six cultivators turned towards Yang Jian who was still standing with his calm demeanor. Yang Jian did not even help the group kill the antelope demons. But that was not what made the Ling group look at Yang Jian, but rather who was the stranger in their group.

"You didn't do it, did you?" Ask Ling carefully. They knew very well if the defeat of a group of deer stealth before was the work of Yang Jian and not without reason.

Seeing how the science lightened Yang Jian's body earlier made them start to suspect that Yang Jian was not an indiscriminate person. Plus if Yang Jian was able to subdue a demon for hundreds of years with just a gaze alone made the six cultivators seem to put on a cautious attitude towards Yang Jian.

Yang Jian nodded softly in response and Yang Jian's nod made the six cultivators hold their breath. Again they were taken aback by Yang Jian.

"From now on you just have to kill and harvest the game."
