The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
Ch 13: Xemin City

In the morning, they packed up before continuing on as if nothing had happened.

Xemin City was a fairly large city with strict guard, in front of the entrance were two guards who were cultivators checking on each newcomer.

Yang Jian and his entourage had arrived by the time the sun started to sink then they were waiting in line in the back row.

"So step aside young master Feng passed by." a bodyguard shouted, behind him was a young man dressed in luxury riding a dark horse, he was Feng Haocun.

Next to the young man Feng carrying a huge deer on his horse, it seemed like they had just returned home hunting.

Everyone got out of the way was no exception to Yang Jian's entourage, Feng Haocun passed through the crowd with a haughty face he didn't even stare at a single one of them.

"Thank you uncle for letting me join the entourage" Yang Jian said as he thrust out five gold pieces

"Ah doesn't matter." the leader of the entourage accepted the coin Yang Jian gave shyly. They parted in the middle of the road, Yang Jian wanted to find an inn and the merchant troupe would instantly meet the person who would buy his wares.

~~

Tonight Yang Jian decided to take a walk along the city all looking for information.

'Arghh.' Suddenly Yang Jian heard the sound of people's screams, out of curiosity he searched for the source of the sound.

When he arrived at the quiet streets with minimal lighting Yang Jian saw a middle-aged man holding a sword that had been stained with blood, behind the man were two men who were quite young.

"Why are you doing this? Didn't we make a trade deal?" a man said with a trembling tone.

Yang Jian was surprised to see the man, as his gaze turned to the ground Yang Jian's mouth was wide open he saw the head of someone who was already separated from his body, the moment his gaze turned to the ground Yang Jian's mouth was wide open he saw the head of someone who was already separated from his body, he was the leader of the merchant who traveled from Jizeng village with Yang Jian. Like his man died in one slash. This was because the merchant group was only ordinary humans.

Seeing that the look on Yang Jian's face reddened with restraining anger.

"Hahaha deal? You guys are so naive.

Alright since my mood has been good lately I will give you a painless death." the man was about to swing back his sword but stopped because of Yang Jian's words

"A painless death? Has my uncle ever felt death?" Yang Jian approached.

"Who are you?" the middle-aged man observed Yang Jian from head to toe he did not feel any danger from Yang Jian from being unable to read Yang Jian's practice.

"No matter who you are, for having seen something you shouldn't have seen then I'll close your eyes forever."The man grinned.

"Middle stage star warrior." Said Yang Jian staring at the man.

The man was shocked, obviously to him Yang Jian was not an ordinary child for being able to read his practice. The man behind her also gave a reaction while the traders were still silent.

"Uncle tell me what it's like to die." Said Yang Jian he then drew his sword as fast as lightning, with the horses for the 'sky dragon's sword' skill he flowed quite a large qi on the sword.

'Crash...' Yang Jian slashed the man's head, his head rolling to the ground with bulging eyes and a look of surprise. Yang Jian smiled coldly looking at the blood splashed on his face. ' Eleasing evil' Yang Jian said inwardly. This was the first time Yang Jian had killed a human.

The two male bodyguards spontaneously retreated in horror with Yang Jian's cold smile, they could not even see Yang Jian's movements. While the group of traders sat limp and even fainted, they were not the only cultivators to understand if this scene was terrible for them.

"Is uncle okay?" yang Jian asked ascertained the condition of the merchant.

"it's okay to thank you." Yang Jian helped the merchant up and led him back to the inn carrying the entire cart.

" Go before dying" Yang Jian said to his two others and stepped away.

~~

"What's? It didn't work." a young man hit the wall, he was Feng Haocun.

"What do you do, even to kill humans alone is not capable of even elder Song being killed." He scolded two young men in a room.

"Sorry young master, we've already taken the item but there's a little boy foiling our plan and killing elder Song." Answer one of the young men.

"Babies? To face the brats alone you can't afford?" Jerk Feng Haocun.

"This brat is no ordinary young master, even he had killed Elder Song with a single slash."

"Alright, go and investigate the boy I'll give him a calculation." Feng Haocun could not let anyone know about his vile deeds for the sake of a treasure. Hence he intended to finish off Yang Jian.

~~

In a forest there was a large and high wall, it was the border of Xemin town with the forest of another area. There was a handsome young man was observing around like he was making sure of something, he was Chang An one of the elders of the Jade Stone Sect.

The young man was the one who took part in dispelling the attack three years ago, he was assigned to monitor the borders of the city of Xemin.

~~

This afternoon Yang Jian returned down the entire corner of Xemin city because last night he had not had time to complete his goal of searching for information.

He entered a forest that grew quite a lot of tall trees. Suddenly an arrow shot towards Yang Jian, he dodged but his left arm was scratched.

Five black masked men emerged from behind the tree, the five men carrying arrows, machetes, swords and sticks and emitting a murderous aura. Yang Jian was surprised to see their appearance, he had a premonition that this was related to the incident last night.

The five people worked together to attack Yang Jian to overwhelm him. They alternately attacked Yang Jian from each side. Fresh blood shot out from Yang Jian's body, he fended off every attack using his sword. The five men also got wounds from Yang Jian's sword.

Yang Jian squinted his lips slowly his breathing began to disorganize, the five people were at the middle stage grand master level which was clearly no match for Yang Jian, he was unsure of being able to escape their attacks.

"Let's get it over with" exclaimed the man holding the sword.

With the rest of his strength Yang Jian tried to aim for the weakest of them, Yang Jian's sword hit the man's left arm, which was, it was not until Yang Jian attacked him with an empty tread style about the man's vital until it bounced on the tree until fresh blood came out of his mouth.

Due to being exhausted Yang Jian was unable to dodge one's attack in his direction, Yang Jian bounced away and vomited blood. His bones crumpled and his whole body could not be moved.

'What's just getting here?' Yang Jian said sadly, he was unable to keep his promise to the father. Four others walked up to Yang Jian to take his life.

Not wanting to lose, Yang Jian gathered a huge amount of qi in both of his palms. With one full strike, Yang Jian successfully launched his attack on the four cultivators followed by his body which began to deteriorate until darkness began to surround his vision.
