The Legend of the Sacred Sword Cultivator
Ch 22: Hunting Demon

Yang Jian and his entourage had long traveled and stopped when eating and resting for a while.

During the trip Feng Yu and Xinxin always glanced towards Yang Jian yet they did not dare to start a conversation, knowing that Yang Jian was just silent and also did not intend to mince words with his fellow student.

By now they had reached the edge of the forest, the last forest they would cross before reaching the city where the Cloud Dragon Sect was located.

"We'd better rest here tonight, tomorrow we'll go back on our way."

Chang An said that the forest they were about to cross was a haunted forest that was inside of many demons, so it was not wise to force them to travel at night, in addition, the condition of their bodies are not fully energized due to fatigue during the trip.

Hearing the word demon the look on Yang Jian's face turned bright, Chang An who saw the look on Yang Jian's face grew convinced not to continue on the journey he thought Yang Jian was very happy because they were finally resting. If Chang An knew that his thinking was wrong he might hit Yang Jian on the head.

Han Li and Chang An collected firewood to make a campfire while Feng Yu and Xinxin chose to prepare the bed they kept in their space rings.

On the other hand, Yang Jian secretly entered into the forest without their knowledge.

On returning Yang Jian saw his entourage eating roasted chicken, probably while Yang Jian both of his sect elders were hunting.

"Where has Jian'er been, why has he returned so long ago?" Chang An gave Yang Jian a grilled fish and invited him to eat together.

"Make teacher." Yang Jian answered Chang An's question spontaneously, when he realized his words he saw all the gazes leading to his. Yang Jian smiled awkwardly and pretended not to be the center of attention.

Chang An and the others stared at Yang Jian intensely, as there was still residual water on Yang Jian's forehead they chose not to continue his suspicions. Though the water on Yang Jian's forehead was sweat water.

The night was already late, Chang An and the others had already dissolved inside their respective fantasy worlds, now only Yang Jian was left awake.

Slowly Yang Jian stepped his feet into the forest, with the science of lightening his body did not take long finally Yang Jian arrived in the middle of the forest.

'Groarrr.' a huge stealth bear stared at Yang Jian with a murderous gaze. His pointy teeth and sharp hooves were ready to shred Yang Jian's body.

Yang Jian activated his Heavenly World

"Ready for a big harvest!" Exclaimed Yang Jian took a swing. He took out his holy sword and started attacking the demon.

Pure Qi flowed through Yang Jian's holy sword, each slash of his was capable of destroying every tree that was hit by the attack. The demon bear attacked Yang Jian nimbly, its huge body not making its movements slow.

However, none of the bear's stealth attacks hit Yang Jian.

'Syuttt.' When Yang Jian's sword hit the bear demon, the demon's body was instantly crushed to dust and even the demon crystals were also involved.

Yang Jian gasped in shock, he clucked in awe feeling the awesomeness of the holy sword Xiao Ming had given him.

The holy sword was silver with a golden hilt, it was a golden phoenix like Yang Jian.

But instead of his fear, Yang Jian instead smiled as he took out his guanghuan up to a hundred percent to make his hunting easier tonight.

Every demon that was killed in Yang Jian's hands was instantly lost in absorption by the Heavenly World, because from the very beginning Yang Jian had activated his new world.

The demon crystals that entered the Heavenly World while passing through the phoenix seal instantly turned into qi which began to slowly fill the world. The Dragon had made a seal to help Yang Jian change the heavenly world just like their plan before him.

Tonight Yang Jian had managed to kill hundreds of demons, the Heavenly World had also started to contain qi although it was still thin, before his Yang Jian had handed over his entire demon crystal hunt results during his time in the Valley of Hell yet it seemed like Yang Jian needed many more demon crystals.

"You'd better kill a human to absorb its life energy, in order to speed up the transformation process of the Heavenly World" the dragon suggested

Yang Jian nodded softly "It seems like it should." he replied as he let out a slow breath

"Or you can directly absorb them into the Heavenly World without killing them, I can help you to kill them all" added the dragon.

"Can't you?" Asked Yang Jian confusedly. Dragon said that he had a way to enter the demon into the Heavenly World.

"Because you forced me, well I'm forced to agree to it." Yang Jian replied pretending to be resigned.

"Currently, strange creatures." Dragon snorted annoyedly at Yang Jian's reply, yet Yang Jian was not angry he was already used to the frank attitude of the dragon.

Yang Jian then decided to return to his group before anyone was suspicious of him.

~~

This morning after they finished packing and eating they continued their journey. Upon entering the forest further Chang An and the others frowned looking at the trees that were destroyed the rest of the fight but they did not find any bodies at the location of the fight.

"It looks like there was a group that first passed through this forest before us." Feng Yu commented while inspecting the trees around them.

"Right, this is a scratch. Did they fight with demons?" Xinxin shows a tree that has a scratch mark.

"We better be careful, maybe there are still many stealth that hide after us. Don't walk too far away from us, and stay alert." Han Li directed his entourage to be careful

In contrast to Chang An, he instead glanced at Yang Jian with a gaze demanding an explanation. But the one being stared at instead put on his innocent face.

The further they stepped into the atmosphere of the forest was getting gripping.

'Grrr.' a lion demon with a size twice as big as a regular lion blocking their steps, then appeared other lions more than behind trees and surrounded them.

"Don't panic, prepare to attack." Han Li guarded from the front while Chang An from the back with Feng Yu, Xinxin and Yang Jian in the middle of them while putting up a counter to attack.
