The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
Ch 12: Robber

When night was about to arrive, Yang Jian's entourage decided to rest in the middle of the forest and continue the journey back tomorrow. The forest is filled with trees that are quite shady, but there are no wild animals they meet along the way.

They worked together to install tents and find firewood to make a campfire, while dinner was brought from the village as supplies during the trip.

Yang Jian sat a bit away from the merchant group, he was indeed not used to joining humans because before venturing he only knew Xiao Ming.

"Saying the representative of the Jade Stone Sect returned to pay a visit to Xemin city." One of the traders opened the conversation.

"True, the attack three years ago made them quite vigilant." The other timpal. Yang Jian who was originally indifferent now listened to their conversation, he currently needed a lot of information regarding the martial world.

"I'm sorry sir, what are you talking about." This was the first time Yang Jian spoke starting from them leaving Jizeng village. Yang Jian approached in order to speak more freely

"Oh, young master, you new people may not know this news because everyone knows about the attack three years ago." one of them explained to Yang Jian that the Green Fog Sect was attacking in Xemin city in order to expand the territory, but they suffered defeat due to the cooperation of the neutral white middle sect.

From his explanation Yang Jian learned that the current mayor of Xemin was cooperating with the Jade Sect to monitor security in the city of Xemin in the event of a second wave attack with greater force any more. Their cooperation had been established for the past three years but there was no sign yet that the Green Fog Sect would strike back. Mayor Xemin was worried in case there was a trap from the current situation.

Yang Jian could certainly judge there was something odd about the merchant's story, but he decided not to think about this further, instead, he was indeed aiming to become a cultivator to abolish evil but currently Yang Jian did not yet have the strength to subdue the Green Mist Sect. Right now he only needed to train to become stronger in order to be able to carry out the duties of his father, Xiao Ming.

'I am still too weak.' Yang Jian thought to himself.

The day was late, the bonfire that had been burning had been extinguished, the merchant group had also been lulled by his dream. Yang Jian who was originally acting calm put on a serious face, he stepped quickly away from the tent towards the big tree.

"What do you want?" Yang Jian said coldly staring straight ahead.

A group of men in black jumped out from the trees, they were made up of 5 people and wore face coverings.

"Hahaha, it turns out that you are quite a boy who can realize our presence."

Yang Jian had actually realized that there were people following his entourage since the beginning of the departure, but he had done nothing because he had not seen any movement from the group. So he tried to ask their reasons.

"Give me all the possessions you have, maybe we'll forgive you huhah." Blatantly the group says its purpose, in other words they are trying to show that they are a group of robbers.

Yang Jian was still silent he was trying to assess the abilities of those robbers, it turned out that their practice was at the intermediate stage warior.

"I happen to want to test the results of my training all this time, please guide her." Yang Jian clenched his hands together and lowered his head a little like starting a match. According to Yang Jian this was also a good opportunity to hone his fighting experience.

"Are you stupid? We're here to rob not to fight." A robber showed a sour face and was annoyed he felt underestimated by the little boy, moreover the boy was not afraid at all.

Without any cue Yang Jian began to attack the robber leader, he used a bare-handed technique because he wanted to test the science.

"I'm not cool."

'Hiyattt.' The leader of the robbers pulled out a small knife from behind his pocket and attacked Yang Jian.

Yang Jian continued to dodge and occasionally aimed punches and kicks at the opponent. Because Yang Jian's physical strength was extremely strong, the leader of the robbers felt tremendous pain when coming into contact with Yang Jian's hands and feet.

As the leader of the robbers caught his guard off guard due to exhaustion, Yang Jian gathered a little qi in his palm and instantly 'boom' the robber bounced five meters away hitting the tree trunk behind him.

'Ohuk.uhuk.' The robber vomited blood and lost consciousness.

The other four robbers only regained consciousness after their chief fainted, they gulped roughly.

"Let's both attack, he's just a kid." The robber gave a signal. Those who were unable to read Yang Jian's level of practice considered that Yang Jian was not a danger they should avoid but their estimates were wrong, they had already seen for themselves Yang Jian's strength.

Yang Jian welcomed the robbers' attacks without being overwhelmed, he was already used to being between life and death when fighting with the demons in the Valley of Hell even though he could not afford to fight thousands of years old demons.

The difference is that stealth does not have the intelligence of a human, but rather fights following the instinct to kill prey.

After ten minutes of fighting Yang Jian had already memorized every move of the opponent, his goal was to augment his fighting experience.

"One." Yang Jian caught the hand of one of the robbers and beat his heart firmly.

"Two." then Yang Jian turned around and repelled the attack of one of the robbers with his left foot, after which with his remaining right foot Yang Jian kicked right at the robber's neck 'kretekk' the sound of cracked bones rang out loud in the silent night.

"Three." Yang Jian stomped on the knees of one of the robbers and jumped high into the air, as down Yang Jian aimed his elbow right above the robber head.

"Four." After elbowing the robber chief to the three Yang Jian salto behind then kicking loudly******* fourth robber strongly. 'arghhh' a truly heart-wrenching shout for anyone who hears.

"Huft" Yang Jian sighed harshly

'It looks like I have to fight with a stronger opponent to maximize my knowledge'

As Yang Jian turned around he saw the five black-robed men lying unconscious on the ground in a miserable state. No matter, Yang Jian sprinkled the deadly poison and tied the five robbers to a large tree. Waiting tomorrow for the discovery of the body, if anyone finds it of course.

After finishing with his task he walked back towards the tent and rested because the day was still so dark.
