Chapter 14: Demon King, Obtaining a Peerless Sword Technique

"I am just like you, a Disciple of the Jade Purity Sect, here to guard the Myriad Demon Realm."

The red-nosed elderly man laughed, sizing up Han Jue with a clicking sound of wonder.

"The third layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet the breathing speed of your cultivation is by no means that of the third layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm. You must have already reached the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Realm, right?"

Han Jue could not help but be vigilant.

To think he had been seen through.

It was his first time encountering someone who could directly see through his cultivation like this.

Could this person's cultivation be the same as Fairy Xixuan's?

"You do not need to be nervous. Did you come here of your own accord, or were you sent by your Master?" the red-nosed elderly man asked.

Judging by Han Jue's attitude towards Cultivate, it did not seem like he had come forward of his own accord.

Han Jue replied, "My Master, Fairy Xixuan, sent me here."

I have a backer, do not plot against me!

[Li Qingzi has developed a favorable impression of you. Current Favorability is 1 star.]

A line of words appeared before Han Jue's eyes.

He quickly brought up his attribute list to check his interpersonal relationships.

[Li Qingzi: Eighth layer of the Nascent Soul Realm, Sect Master of the Jade Purity Sect, deeply admiring Fairy Xixuan. Current Favorability is 1 star.]

The Sect Master of the Jade Purity Sect!

Isn't that the Sect Master?

Han Jue was shocked.

To think this bastard actually liked his Master?

The mere thought of the image of Li Qingzi and Fairy Xixuan together gave him chills.

Li Qingzi is unworthy!

"Did your Master give you any tasks?" Li Qingzi asked.

Han Jue replied, "Even if there were, how could I tell you?"

Li Qingzi smiled and said, "Oh? A task that cannot be told to others?"

Han Jue remained silent.

Li Qingzi stretched and smiled, "Then follow me. You have gotten into trouble. For the sake of your Master's Face, I can help you solve it."

Han Jue was puzzled, but got up and followed him.

As the Sect Master of the Jade Purity Sect, Li Qingzi shouldn't harm him.

The two walked into the woods.

"Do you know why I came here?" Li Qingzi asked with a smile, his hands behind his back.

Han Jue shook his head.

Perhaps it was because of being a simpering dog, but he couldn't say that; the Sect Master needed Face.

"The Yao Beasts near you are increasing, showing a tendency for an uprising. The key is that these Yao Beasts are currently very well-behaved, as if they are lurking. Being able to command so many Yao Beasts must be the work of a Demon King. You probably provoked the White Dragon Tiger-Heart. That little fellow's father is a renowned Demon King, and it naturally possesses a Demon King Bloodline. Summoning so many Yao Beasts can only mean it's dealing with you."

Hearing Li Qingzi's words, Han Jue couldn't help thinking of the white cat from two years ago.

Could that be the White Dragon Tiger-Heart?

Han Jue recounted his previous experience.

"Your movement technique is actually faster than the White Dragon Tiger-Heart's?" Li Qingzi asked in surprise.

Could this child have received his Junior Sister's true teachings?

Thinking of Fairy Xixuan's previous words, Li Qingzi couldn't help nodding.

[Li Qingzi's Favorability toward you has increased. Current Favorability is 1.5 stars.]

Han Jue raised an eyebrow and said, "I learned a movement technique, so it's normal to be faster than it."

His heart instantly felt balanced.

It seemed it wasn't that he was weak, but that the White Dragon Tiger-Heart was truly fast. If it were any other Disciple, they probably wouldn't even be able to keep up!

Led by Li Qingzi, Han Jue came before a cliff. Looking down, he saw that the wilderness below was filled with the figures of Yao Beasts.

Every single Yao Beast looked terrifying; the large ones were like small mountains, and the small ones were various insect demons, some the size of a washbasin.

This was Han Jue's first time seeing such a scene, and his Face turned pale.

He roughly counted them; there were at least over a thousand Yao Beasts.

If they all swept over his pavilion, they could easily flatten it, and he would only be able to flee.

His gaze fell upon a large rock, where the white cat from two years ago lay sleeping soundly.

Han Jue was speechless.

Was his luck really that good, directly running into the young Demon King?

"Senior, you said you wanted to help me solve this. Are you going to kill it?" Han Jue asked.

Li Qingzi glared at him and said, "This White Dragon Tiger-Heart has immense potential. If I kill it, won't the Sect come looking for trouble with me?"

Han Jue was depressed and asked, "Then how do we solve it?"

"You go subdue it!"

Li Qingzi stroked his beard and smiled.

Hearing this, Han Jue turned around and left.

With so many Yao Beasts, what was he supposed to use to subdue it?

"Brat, where are you going?!"

Li Qingzi quickly pressed down on his shoulder and said irritably.

How could his Junior Sister take in such a Disciple!

"I will cast a Formation to trap them here for at most five years. Within five years, if you can subdue the White Dragon Tiger-Heart, I will reward you with a supreme technique of the Jade Purity Sect," Li Qingzi said seriously.

[Facing the task given by Jade Purity Sect Sect Master Li Qingzi, you have the following choices:]

[1. Accept the task and do your utmost to subdue the White Dragon Tiger-Heart. You can obtain Li Qingzi's supreme technique reward, the Demon King's hatred degree, and the attention of the Azure Nether Demonic Cult.]

[2. Reject the task and return to continue to Cultivate. You can obtain a sword technique Secret Manual, and Li Qingzi's Favorability will decrease.]

Huh?

The Demon King's hatred?

The attention of the Azure Nether Demonic Cult?

Han Jue almost exploded.

He immediately organized his words and said, "Senior, forget it. You should find someone else. I really am scared; I just want to safely Cultivate."

Li Qingzi was stunned.

He frowned and said, "I can impart the supreme Cultivation Technique of the Jade Purity Sect to you, the Jade Purity Art!"

Can it compare to my Six Paths of Reincarnation Art?

Han Jue still shook his head.

[Li Qingzi's Favorability toward you has decreased. Current Favorability is 0.5 stars.]

Li Qingzi snorted, "Then scram!"

Han Jue bowed and quickly fled.

Li Qingzi sighed, "Could the person arranged by my Junior Sister not be him?"

…

Returning to the pavilion,

Han Jue chose the second option.

[You rejected Li Qingzi's task and obtained a sword technique Secret Manual.]

[Congratulations on obtaining the peerless sword technique — Three Pure Shadow Severing Sword.]

A peerless sword technique?

Han Jue was pleasantly surprised. It had finally arrived!

Although the Divine Sword Finger was decent, its lethal range was limited, and the shot Sword Qi was more like bullets. If faced with a massive invasion of Yao Beasts, it would be hard to fend off.

He did not immediately accept the Legacy, but waited instead.

Half an hour later, he began to receive the Legacy of this sword technique.

As Han Jue received the Legacy of the Three Pure Shadow Severing Sword, his Physical Body began to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Not long after, a strong wind arose, winding around the pavilion.

The surrounding trees swayed along with it, as if a rainstorm was about to arrive.

Such an unusual phenomenon lasted for half an hour.

The Legacy ended.

His top-tier sword Dao Aptitude and sword Dao Comprehension Ability allowed Han Jue to encounter not the slightest difficulty while receiving the Legacy.

Han Jue inside the house suddenly opened his eyes, a cold glint bursting from them. He raised his hand to pinch an incantation gesture, mobilized the spiritual power within his body, and cast the Three Pure Shadow Severing Sword.

He saw three sword phantoms emerge behind him, each with a different color.

The lightning spiritual power sword phantom was the color of lightning!

The fire spiritual power sword phantom was like a blazing flame, burning fiercely!

The wind spiritual power sword phantom was cyan in color, with strong winds wrapping around the blade!

"What a powerful sword technique! As expected of a peerless sword technique!"

Han Jue immediately got up and walked out of the pavilion. The three sword phantoms hovered behind him, following him like a shadow.

His right hand used a finger as a sword, pointing forward.

The three sword phantoms behind him fiercely struck out at an extreme speed, even faster than the White Dragon Tiger-Heart, resembling three rapid flashes of lightning of different colors!

Boom—

Sword light flashed. Dozens of large trees within a radius of a hundred meters were chopped into three sections by the three sword phantoms. The tree trunks flew up, leaves withered, and the scene was quite spectacular!

Accompanied by these large trees falling to the ground, billowing dust rose up.

How overbearing!

Han Jue was pleasantly surprised.

This is what you call a supreme technique!

It's just too strong!

And he hadn't even used his full strength.

If he faced an army of Yao Beasts, it would turn the battlefield into a meat grinder in minutes!
