Martial Forest

Chapter 17: Quest Completed

Wang Li is now pale in the face. His eyes show the fear that he is feeling right now. And he could slowly feel the pain that is slowly coursing through his entire body

And slowly he reaches to his left part of his stomach. There he could feel a thin wound.

The internal energy of that kid is around that wound, like something that is sticking quite closely to his wound and preventing it from bursting out.

The more he tries to understand why the wound did not rust out, the more he felt fear.

The clouds move again, pushed by the winds and the moonlight shines in the area around them

The sound of insects fills the area and Bai Qingniu, his disciple and his granddaughter could not believe what they are seeing right now

They could not believe that there is such a powerful swordsman that is so young, hidden in this forest

Bai Qingniu once roamed the mountain and lakes in his youth, which genius that he did not meet before?

he had met many master and fight many people

But he had never met such a young boy who possess such exquisite swordsmanship and such a brave one at that.

The power of the sword arts that this young kid executed is not excellent in its speed or any other confusing movement that could distract an enemy

It is the forcefulness of the move that made the swordplay very powerful. The force of each sword strike is pressuring and overbearing, like each sword seems to challenge the Heaven and Earth

That is the spirit of the sword art. It is brave, and straight.

The flash of sword is because the boy itself possess powerful lightness skill and that speed is combined with the powerful strike making the strike even more powerful.

To be able to use the leaves as propelling force and glides toward Wang Li in such a way is a testament to the boy prodigious ability in lightness skill.

If this boy chooses to run away, Wang Li could never catch the boy

The more he sees, the more he could not understand

Which sect that this body come from? This kind of kid that not only mastered a powerful sword art but also talented in lightness skill is rare to find

And rare to find so young.

Lightness skill mastery did not mean that they have powerful martial skill or powerful swordplay.

And having powerful swordplay and powerful internal energy does not mean having a powerful lightness skill.

And to see a kid, having both talents in lightness skill and swordplay, how could Bai Qingniu is not shocked?

And the fact that the boy veins did not burst after using such a forceful technique is an indication of how the boy had trained his body.

He did not know that in this mountain forest that there is such a hidden genius.

Bai Qingniu even with his knowledge of the martial arts world had never seen such crude swordplay.

Crude did not mean weak.

Instead for the sword art that the young kid executed, the cruder the attack, the simpler the attack, the more powerful the force behind it becomes.

 If one did not have full mastery of this technique when they use this sword technique, they would surely waste a lot of internal energy.

Li Xian calmly look at Wang Li. In his eyes right now he did not see the others. He only sees Wang Li in his eyes.

It was like an extreme state of focus. He even felt like time slow down for him

Wang Li seems to be petrified and could not be moved. He could guess from which direction would attack by eliminating many factors. Li Xian himself did not know how he suddenly understood these thing.

He could only attribute it to the system. Because of that he was not afraid. Looking at the already subdued Wang Li he shouted

‘Again!’ He shouted. And hearing the shout, like he was being shocked by a jolt of electricity, Wang Li suddenly rushes forward.

It was a reflex action.

Li Xian dodges the blade easily. Smiling he execute Southern Sword Reaches the Earth, one of the seven sword moves of the Seven Transformation Swordplay.

A flash of light and searing pain fills Wang Li knees.

Blood drips down from his knee.

His left knees have three lines of wounds. Spinning to the left of Wang Li side, Li Xian execute Eastern Sword Cut the Stars and Wang Li felt blood dripping from his back.

Wound are inflicted upon him and he could not even fight back

He could not even have the time to scream before another shot of pain jolted his body.

This time, Li Xian slashes Wang Li back of the knees. The veins were cut off and blood spurted out from the back of his knees.

One of his knees fall down to the ground. Another s***h appears and his other knees were brought down.

He is now kneeling in the ground, his back had many cuts. Li Xian silhouette is like a ghost, spinning around Wang Li body, cutting his skin like he is some fish in the chopping block.

Then Li Xian stopped.

The dry leave that was rising up to the air because of the effect of the speed of Li Xian movements slowly floats back down.

The forest is quiet.

Every once in a while one could hear the howling of wolves and one could hear the sound of insects in the distance.

Li Xan then sheathe back his sword, the sound of it chills the heart of everyone present.

He is now in front of Wang Li, kneeling, blood dripping down from the back of Wang Li knees. Such a burly and huge man were forced to kneel before a kid.

There is many wound on Wang Li back. A lot of them were opened up

But there is also wounds that did not open up. Those wounds that did not open up was because of the internal energy that Li Xian had imbue at the edge of his sword.

It seals the wound. Li Xian smirks a bit, feelings satisfied at the heights of the swordsmanship that he could use

When he reaches grandmaster rank with the Seven Transformation Swordplay, he also understood a lot about how to use internal energy while using the wordplay.

Initially, using such technique requires high input and output of internal energy

But when he reaches grandmaster rank with the swordplay, he could use the most minimal of internal energy to inflict deadly harm.

He did not need to be like a novice who have to coat the entire edges of the weapon to create an effect like what he did to Wang Li.

He could just coat his internal energy onto the tip. Or coat it at certain edges of the sword when he wanted to.

Sword Proficiency and having the Seven Transformation Swordplay to grandmaster rank help in making sure that Li Xian could do such a feat

He come closer

Who are you! I am from Broken Sword Sect! Li Xian did not answer. He did not know what is Broken Sword Sect in the first place.

Li Xian took a deep breath and the said

‘You threatened an old man, and a child who had done no wrong to you. Killing people seems to be easy for you. You must not be anything good. And your sect surely not anything good either. Today, you wanted to kill people and harm people. Should I let you go, you would harm even more people’

‘You..you’ Wang Li said as he tries to get up. But the injury on his body prevent him from even taking a step up

Li Xian palm moves, Wang Li screams and then blood exploded from over his body. Li Xian uses his Three Waves Palm on Wang Li body.

All the sealed wound was unsealed from his body. The wound all opened up at the same time. The sight is very gruesome as Wang Li died almost immediately from the blood loss and the severe injury that erupted suddenly.

Then the wave truly wrecks amuck inside Wang Li body. His ribcage collapsed inward and he die kneeling on the ground.

The sound of the completion of the quest enter Li Xian ears and he smiles

‘Hope I get a lot’ He thought to himself when he heard the notification

 [Quest]

You have taken your first step in the martial path. Using your martial skill, you have rescue Bai Qingniu, his disciple and his granddaughter. You have rejected evil and uphold righteousness for the people of the martial arts world.

Such deeds would surely forge a great reputation among those in the Righteous Path.

But each actions have consequences. From now on, The Broken Sword Sect and the host would have bad entanglements with each other.

The path of martial path is long. Survive and hone yourself. Forge your path!

Reward: A Medium Gift Pack

: Fame point or infamy points and reputation increase (the reputation increase and the prize in the medium gift pack will depend on the performance of the host)

>>>>>>>>>>>> 

Li Xian look at the notification and he immediately check his status window. On his reputation it now changed. Before his reputation is Just Entered Jianghu.

Now, it is Martial Warrior.

He smiles a bit

When he checks the effect, it shows that having such title would make is easier to get more skill points when helping people in danger and those in trouble.

He did not immediately open the Gift Pack. After all, he is still in the middle forest.

He then turns toward the old man. Li Xian did not really know how to act right now. Should he invite the old man to his hut? Or should he just have left them here.

He sighed. he then took the corpse and went to the end of the area. There is a cliff area around the forest. Then he throws the body down the cliff.

By morning there is probably not going to be any body below. All kinds of beast would feast on that dead man.

He then saw the gaze the three look at them. Probably it is hard to believe that a twelve-year-old kid could carry such a heavy person.

Of course if he knew what those three people are thinking, this feat of him throwing a grown man down into the cliff is probably the least amazing thing he did tonight.

If anyone told Bai Qingniu that such a young child could learn sword to this level while still a child, he would surely tell such people that this is a tall tale told only in taverns and inns

Finally, Li Xian said

‘Qianbei, I have a hut around here. Let us talk there’ Bai Qingniu nodded.

Li Xian escorted them to his hut as he could not wait to open the pouch.
