Great Swordsman

Ch.9 - Fighting

On the way, Xu Feng calculated there was how much profit he could earn from selling his loot.

“Following the market price, I can at least obtain a total of about 50 taels of silver.”

Xu Feng muttered inwardly and immediately smiled widely.50 taels of silver was not a small amount, it was equivalent to an ordinary family's income in a year.

“To be true, people say, hunting demonic beasts is the fastest way to get rich.”

Xu Feng began to consider whether he should become an accomplished hunter, hunting down demonic beasts every day in exchange for high returns.

Xu Feng felt it was worth it. Although the risk is high, the rewards offered are also quite tempting.

There were many cases where cultivators chose hunters as their main occupation. Some managed to amass great wealth but still many also died in the process.

Even the strongest experts could not escape from that risk.

It took a while for Xu Feng to leave the Thousand Nights Forest, and it was already morning.

On the way back towards the sect, Xu Feng accidentally met with three of Ciao Yi's comrades.

But the difference this time, the three Ciao Yi colleagues were already lying dead lifeless.

“What happened?”

Xu Feng frowned and was immediately on guard, he knew something was wrong with the current situation.

The reason was simple, there was a sword incision on the body of each young man.

There are people who kill them!

Xu Feng focused his attention on the surroundings and instantly his eyes locked onto a tree not far beside him.

“Hohoo looks like our friend this one managed to find us..”

A mocking laughter sounded in Xu Feng's ears.

“So you've finally come yaa Tang Guan.”

Xu Feng immediately recognized the voice and spoke coldly. From the start he had already guessed that Tang Guan would look for him sooner or later. After all, Xu Feng could see the hatred in Tang Guan's eyes when they spoke yesterday.

It was just that Xu Feng did not expect Tang Guan to act this fast.

“Tskk stop being too cold, I'm afraid you know!”

Tang Guan appeared from behind the tree, there was a disdainful smile on his face. The three young men who followed behind him laughed out loud when they heard the sarcasm.

Their faces showed arrogance.

“It looks like you are the one who is in too much of a hurry.”

Xu Feng sneered and looked at Tang Guan indifferently. He was not affected by their humiliation.

He already knew Tang Guan's strength, the man was the same as Ciao Yi, was in the second stage and did not have a single technique.

There were also three young men who followed Tang Guan, they were only at the first stage.

“I didn't know you had many friends. They had mentioned a silver-haired man and I immediately knew who they meant!”

“Honey, your friends it went so fast under my sword.”

Tang Guan smiled faintly and pointed at the three corpses in front of him. He thought it could make Xu Feng filled with anger.

But it seems like he misunderstood something.

“Is that? Too bad dad…. ”

“Nahh is enough with this nonsense.”

Feeling impatient again, Tang Guan raised his sword and pointed at Xu Feng with a cruel look. At that very instant, the three young men who were following Tang Guan immediately dashed towards Xu Feng with each weapon unsheathed in their hands.

They laughed mockingly when they saw Xu Feng who was only silent in his place. They thought Xu Feng was frightened so that he was unable to move his body.

One of the young men immediately reached Xu Feng and swung his spear from top to bottom, intending to split Xu Feng into two halves.

He knew from Tang Guan that Xu Feng was only at the first stage of the mortal realm, so he felt confident.

After all, they were winning numbers compared to Xu Feng who was only alone. Not to mention the fact that Tang Guan was in the second stage.

There was no chance of winning for Xu Feng.

“Death!!”

The young man shouted with all his might and his spear swung swiftly. He grinned widely, imagining a body split in two.

But different from his expectations. Xu Feng who was originally silent started to take action. Xu Feng swung the sword in his hand, welcoming the incoming spear attack.

The sword and spear met, producing a metallic clashing sound. The young man who was smiling was frozen. His hands are numb.

He could feel the power coming from Xu Feng's sword, and it was clearly stronger than him.

His spear was thrown into the air, and the young man took a few steps back. Haven't had time to stabilize his body, Xu Feng had already jumped towards him and slashed at him.

The young man did not even have time to react when Xu Feng's sword sliced his neck.

Bright red blood gushed into the air and the young man looked at Xu Feng with wide eyes before slowly losing his life.

“Brother!!”

The two young men who followed him shouted from behind, surprised by what happened.

“Damn you.”

One of them was immediately engulfed in anger, losing control of himself and recklessly dashed towards Xu Feng.

However his speed was too slow in Xu Feng's eyes. Even before he could raise his weapon, Xu Feng had already slashed at him first.

“Urghh.”

The young man shouted in pain while looking at his already injured chest, he was dazed for a moment. At that very instant, his consciousness returned to normal and he finally realized his mistake.

He did not pay attention to the aura issued by Xu Feng.

“Ka .. You're actually a stage 2 fighter!”

It was his last sentence before the darkness took over him. His body fell backwards and with a thud hit the ground hard. He's already dead.

All that was left was Tang Guan and his one follower. They were silent for a while before Tang Guan broke that strange silence

“I seem to have been played by you Xu Feng.”

Tang Guan's face was so ugly and confused. He did not understand how Xu Feng who only looked mediocre could advance to the second stage of the mortal realm this fast.

It was well known that the talent of Circle One was the lowest talent in the world of cultivators. To advance to the second stage of the first stage took about 10 years and it was already the fastest for a Circumference One talent.

While Xu Feng only took nearly 3 years. How could Tang Guan not be confused?

“Nothing is impossible in this world as long as you work hard.”

Xu Feng spoke indifferently while shaking the blood on his sword.
