The Rise of the Dragon Warrior
First Fight
When it was late afternoon, Patriarch Yan Ran ended their training and reminded that the next morning they should leave for the Sacred Sword Sect considering that it was quite far away.
Shen Long who heard the remark directly towards his residence rushed to clean himself up then sat down to cultivate.
*******
On the next morning now Shen Long, Jun Mei Yin, Jun Yun, Yan Rou Lie and Jin He were already in front of the gate of the Thousand Sword Sect.
They immediately left for the Sacred Sword Sect accompanied by Master Lin Kun and Jin Song.
On the way, Lin Kun and Jin Song reminded the five Disciples to be careful as they did not rule out the possibility of them meeting a group of Bandits or Spirit Beasts.
" Teacher... Isn't this path different from the path to the Sacred Sword Sect?" Jun Yun asked who was astonished.
Jun Yun and Jin He who had already comprehended the region to the point of knowing that the path they were taking was towards the Forest.
" Mm-hm... I am forced to take us through this path because we are a little late if we pass through the main road towards the Sacred Sword Sect." Lin Kun was forced to take them to a dangerous path.
If they have to go through the main road, they will travel for five weeks. You also have to use a horse carriage.
Whereas if passing through a shortcut, they only take less than three weeks.
" Long'er, Yun'er, Yin'er, Lie'er, He'er.... If we go through this shortcut, I hope you guys should get used to fighting head-on. If it's in the Sect, you're just adding basic knowledge. But outside the Sect, you will develop the techniques we have taught." Said Jin Song.
" Mainly for Long'er, Yin'er and Lie'er." Further.
" Be aware that in a Cultivator world where the strong will oppress and the weak will bow down. The world of Cultivators was extremely cruel, killing or being killed." Lin Kun looked solemn as he moved his legs.
Hearing the remark from Shen Long nodded in understanding, even though he himself felt unsure of his own abilities.
Seeing Shen Long's hesitation, Jin Song shook his head. It was natural even when he was young. While wounding a Cultivator who had fought with him, Jin Song locked himself away for a week from feeling guilty.
Although at that time, his late Master asked to kill the figure.
In the end, the figure even took revenge on Jin Song and ended up his own sister as a form of anger of the figure.
That was why Jin Song gave his life experience to Shen Long and the others so as not to easily trust anyone.
Hearing such advice Shen Long recalled the incident when he was still in the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
He still remembered clearly that how his father had always been full trust in Yang Gang even considered him to be his own brother.
What did Shen Long get? He was not appreciated at all even the name of his father's greatness as if it was not appreciated by the members of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
While recalling the incident, Shen Long felt his blood burn so much as to take a grudge against the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
Unknowingly from his anger, the blood effect of the Snow Ape began to radiate throughout Shen Long's body.
Lin Kun and Jin Song who were aware of the change in attitude from Shen Long, now only hoped for the Youth to be able to determine the path of her life wisely.
While traveling for half a day, now Lin Kun was hinting at them to increase their alertness.
" Teacher... What's up?" Ask Jin He.
" It looks like someone else is watching us." Said Lin Kun.
On the other hand, there were some figures hiding behind the trees, now looking happy when they saw Shen Long's entourage carrying two beautiful women.
" How about Brother? I think those two middle-aged men are above us." Say one of the figures wearing all black clothes.
" We must divert the two men, while the other must act quickly to kidnap the two women." Say something else.
" Good." said the other.
The ten figures immediately came out from their hiding places instantly leaping towards Shen Long's entourage.
" Haha... I didn't think anyone would go down this road. What a fortune." Said one of the people who was their leader.
" Teacher... How'this?" Jun Mei Yin looked panicked when she saw the appearance of the ten figures.
" You must take cover behind us. Let me and Master Lin Kun face them." Jin Song immediately stood in front of the one Lin Kun was following.
Although they knew that Shen Long had already reached the 1st level of the Earth Swordsman, his battle experience was still unbelievable.
The leader of the group signaled to his four subordinates to confront Lin Kun and Jin Song, while the other five figures were tasked with kidnapping Jun Mei Yin and Yan Rou Lie.
Shen Long who had the Dragon instinct of mixing the blood of the Snow Ape, was now unconsciously aware of the plans of the ten bandits.
He also took the initiative to protect Yan Rou Lie and Jun Mei Yin.
" Attack them." The Bandit Leader's orders so that they instantly formed two groups.
The group of bandit leaders instantly jumped up and faced Lin Kun and Jin Song, while the second group instantly broke away to approach Shen Long and the others who were behind.
When Lin Kun and Jin Song were already quite far away from the group, the five figures immediately shot towards Shen Long.
Quickly, Shen Long instantly took out the Sword from its scabbard to put up a fight.
As well as the others, they each pulled out their swords and faced them.
Now the twang of the sword meeting from both sides began to echo in the air.
With his agility in the Sword arts, Shen Long tried to find a gap to defeat the figure who became his opponent.
" Unexpectedly, it turned out that they were very good at swordplay." Mumbled one of the figures that Shen Long was fighting against.
Even their Sword techniques seemed balanced which made the figure signal to his partner to immediately kidnap Yan Rou Lie and Jun Mei Yin.
But what they expected was inversely proportional, because Jun Mei Yin seemed to be able to compensate for the Sword arts from his opponent.
Seeing that the five figures were a little panicked because they couldn't possibly fight for much longer.
The thing they were worried about was that the first group was unable to withstand the attacks from Lin Kun and Jin Song.
In other words they will feel aggrieved if the first group is successfully paralyzed.
" wuck... It turned out that the five youngsters were really troublesome." The Bandit Leader grumbled inwardly as he glanced towards Shen Long and the others.
Lin Kun and Jin Song who were also looking at the five Disciples, now breathed a sigh of relief and focused their fight against the five figures in front of them.
