Chapter 30: 30
John nodded at the turn of events. He took out his greatsword and said to the man.
“I don't care about the settings you do here. I don't plan on disturbing that. I just want you to give the girl back. I'll even give you the money I lost. Why don't you accept it? ”
The scar-faced man laughed loudly before replying. “You don't understand. We will kill you, take all your possessions, and then still collect our tribute from the village. Your proposal is of no value to us. Kill him!”
“I don't want to kill you,” John said as he prepared for their attack.
The scar-faced man laughed loudly once again. “You are only an early Fog Creation level cultivator, and you might not even have much fighting experience. You have no choice but to die!”
John was surprised by the man's response. “Early Mist Creation? My dantian sphere was in the middle Mist Creation realm. Can his heavenly senses not detect it?”
As John thought about this, one of the men immediately charged towards him. John flinched from his mind and saw the man approaching.
“That's it? Direct attack? No technique involved, he only uses hardness.” With John's experience in weapons training, he could easily tell that the man had just slashed down by force, relying on his strength and cultivation to suppress John.
“He must have thought I was an easy target.”
John scoffed as the man approached. John has practiced weapons extensively since he was a child. Even before he could start cultivating, John was considered an expert in terms of combat. Not only that, his recent trip in the Skycleave Forest greatly expanded his battle experience and strength. The man's attack was almost an insult to John.
The other five men smiled sinisterly as they watched their partner attack John.
“This should be done quickly. You want to bet how long the kid lasted?” ask one of the men.
“Sure, I'll give him five movements” replied another.
“Five? You think it's too high, I don't think he'll last more than three moves” said the first person.
Swish!
They will continue their betting discussions when they suddenly stop. The headless corpse suddenly fell to the ground in front of John.
“What? What just happened?” shouted one of them men.
The scar-faced man narrowed his eyes as he watched John kill one of his men.
“It looks like I was wrong. You are much more skilled than I gave you” said the former-faced man. “You all surround him and attack together. Don't think he's just a naive kid anymore. She's quite strong.”
The four men gasped in shock and hurriedly surrounded John.
As he was surrounded, John saw the blade of his great sword. Blood dripped from the tip of his blade, a sign of what he had just done. He stared blankly for a moment.
“That was my first murder. The murder of my first human. Why don't I feel.fear? I should feel fear, or surprise, or disgust. But I feel nothing ... actually, I hate to admit it, but I feel very happy.What's wrong with me? ”
John thought his first human murder made him feel negative emotions, but the only thing he felt was indifference. In fact, a few seconds after he was done with his killing, the lingering sense of excitement began to accumulate within him.
As he thought about his emotions, John looked up to see the four men quickly approaching him. Realizing that he was under siege, John made a quick decision and channeled his Qi to his feet.
Five Step Movement Technique
“What ..”
The man he had just run away shouted in shock before his shout was silenced. His lifeless head fell to the ground.
“Be careful, he knows the profound movement technique” shouted the scar-faced man. He thought a circle of four would be enough to kill John. He had not expected John to know such a profound movement technique. Even he himself did not have any movement techniques, let alone his men.
The other three men were experienced veterans. Although their comrade was dying right in front of them, they quickly changed direction and ran towards John.
The peng!
John quickly raised his sword with one hand and blocked the attack of the person who had first reached it. His free hand quickly punched out, connecting with the man's ribs.
“Gah!”
The man was thrown backwards, some of his ribs were crushed due to the force of John's punch. A fractured rib pierced his heart, causing him to die a few seconds later.
John quickly made use of the first step of the Five Step Movement Technique once again, dashing forward quickly. A sword passed by a moment later where he had just been.
John ran straight towards the man who was farthest away from him. The man quickly approached John's previous position and was unable to change the course of his time. He quickly raised his sword to block John's incoming attack.
Bang out!
A loud explosion sounded as the swords collided. The man was thrown backwards tens of meters, violently tumbling over and over again. John quickly followed up his successful attack by running forward towards the fallen man. Before the man could repair himself, he felt cold steel enter his body. His eyes became lifeless.
John turned around and looked at the remaining people. The man's eyes opened in shock before he quickly turned to flee.
Che's!
The sword light split the man in two. His lifeless body fell to the ground.
John narrowed his eyes.
“Why do you kill your own men?” ask John.
“He is useless. He could not even handle a child, and even turned around to escape. What use am I for such a subordinate?” replied the scar-faced man.
John looked at the man but said nothing.
The man was silent for a moment before speaking.
“Based on your movement technique, I guess you really are from the Fenix Clan. Only someone from such a clan would have access to such profound movement techniques. However, strangely enough, why are you traveling alone when you can be protected by powerful guards? Are you not afraid of death? “
John realized that the man was trying to get information from him. If John confirmed that he was from the Fenix Clan, the man would not hesitate to massacre the entire city to cover up the fact that he killed John. The scar-faced man realized that even though John was from the Fenix Clan, it was too late to apologize. Either he kills John and the whole city, or his life will be over.
John looked at the man but did not respond. He's not going to play around with that guy's game.
“No problem. After I finish killing you, I will handle the rest!” The scar-faced man dashed swiftly towards John, his sword shining slightly as he slashed.
