Cultivator Fight

chapter 24 His First Love

After the death match between Su Yang and Dai Zheng that ended as soon as it started, Su Yang's name quickly became the center of attention once again. Those who happened to witness the display of dominance of Su Yang began to spread the words of the event like fire.

They described Su Yang as if he was a demon from hell who could kill without batting an eyelid. They also mentioned the cruel scene of Dai Zheng being split into two halves, causing many who heard him to almost vomit in disgust and shock.

However, what frightened these disciples the most was not Su Yang's ruthlessness which allowed him to kill easily, but rather his sharp and harsh words that could easily kill anyone who was weak-hearted, he said, especially when they found out Su Yang's last words to Dai Zheng before killing him. . They all had the feeling that Su Yang was not only speaking to Dai Zheng but to everyone who dared to think of causing trouble for him.

"You dare knock on my door because of trouble? Then I will take your girl before and after your death as compensation! "

The very words that might haunt them even after their death echoed – sounding like the cold voice of Su Yang – in the heads of those who were there to watch his death match, it caused them to tremble in fear even in their dreams.

Very quickly, the name Su Yang became something that the Outer Court disciples feared. As for those who went to challenge Su Yang with Dai Zheng, they all locked themselves inside the house and refused to come out, afraid that Su Yang would seek them for revenge.

Inside the Morning Wood Pagoda, a group of sect elders gathered around the meeting table and discussed the death match between Su Yang and Dai Zheng with solemn expressions.

By the time Elder Zhou finished recalling the events that occurred during the death match, every sect elder there showed a shocked expression, seemingly disbelieving in what they had just heard.

"Sword Intent? Are you really sure about this, Elder Zhou? "

"I know this may sound like I'm making a crazy joke, but I can promise you that I'm really serious about this. I also doubted it at first – I mean, who wouldn't doubt their eyes if they saw a 16-year-old using Sword Intent? If I had never seen it with my own eyes then I would not believe it even if you told me while beating me to death! " Elder Zhou assured them his seriousness.

"A 16-year-old Swordmaster .. how terrifying would it be if it were true?" However, even though Elder Zhou's voice was clear, the others still doubted Su Yang's ability to use Sword Intent, as it was something unimaginable to them.

It was extremely difficult for them to believe it even if such a story came out of the Matriarch's mouth, especially since there were currently less than ten surviving Sword Masters in this world, either, all of them were profound experts and were renowned for over 100 years of experience under their belts.

Elder Zhou knew that his story would be unbelievable and had prepared himself before the meeting, so he was not too bothered by their doubts.

"Whatever, I give up. It doesn't matter if you don't trust me at this point. When you see it for yourself, you will know the truth. " Elder Zhou left the room with a sigh, leaving the other sect elders dumbfounded.

After which, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes, and the scene as he first hugged the beautiful general appeared on his head.

The feeling of his smooth yet sturdy skin, his warm body, the smell of the battlefield left in his hair – all of it reappeared at once on Su Yang's head, feeling as if it had just happened yesterday.

He remained like that for hours, seemingly asleep, but he was completely awake, thinking about the precious time he spent with his first love in his previous life, which also made him a cultivator.

But alas, despite having won the general's heart, by the time he reached that point, he had already passed his prime age for growth and had long met his limits as a cultivator, and as a human. However, Su Yang himself continued to grow stronger, even breaking mortal shackles in the near future, becoming an Immortal with the longevity that humans had wanted since ancient times.

And because of her ever-increasing growth and cultivation, Su Yang looked the same as the day she met the general even after so many years when the general became an old woman, she said, he died of natural causes a few years later.

"I fell in love with you when I was a kid, the same age as I am today, maybe even younger, but you are an adult. By the time I gained enough strength to stand beside you, you've been around for over 50 years. However, you still look as beautiful as when I saw your intelligence for the first time many years ago, perhaps even brighter. My only regret during that era was my helplessness – my inability to support your cultivation base while I selfishly grew stronger myself … "

Su Yang recalled the moment when he stood in front of his grave as a young man who looked no different from the day when he first held his hand.

"After your death is when I am truly aware of the difference between the Eternal and the mortal, and I became a coward – a coward who was afraid that one day he would fall in love with another mortal and experience the same grief as he experienced with you – so me leaving the mortal world, only returning thousands of years later for a short time -€¦ "

Su Yang suddenly opened his eyes, and he showed a bitter smile to the dull ceiling. "I am once again in the mortal world, and there are elders of this sect who have the same stubbornness as you, or is this a joke the sky made just to mess me up?"

She left the bed and walked to the window where she saw a young woman approaching her doorstep. This young lady was wearing a different type of robe than the ones usually worn by the Outer Court disciples. Instead of the plain white robe that all the Outer Palace disciples wore, the color of this young lady robe was green; it even had a different air, seemingly with a deeper and noble feeling.

Inner Court Disciple? This was the first time Su Yang had seen an Inner Court disciple, and with a single glance, he could tell the difference between an Outer Court disciple and an Inner Court disciple.

"Interesting" she muttered to herself as she prepared to greet him at the door.
