Mind the Business of Others . . .
That guy immediately froze!
He froze because of shock!
[When he kicked me, I didn\'t even realize what was happening until I was down. Maybe I wasn\'t cautious enough while dragging him up, but… but I should have realized it at least, shouldn\'t I?]
[Unless… Unless this man… whom I saw as a fat sheep turns out to be a great cultivator living in seclusion!]
The cold edge of the saber emitted frosty qi on his neck—at the moment, he couldn\'t think of a word to speak. Not that he didn\'t want to say something, he just couldn\'t say anything under the suppression from the great Fierce Blade.
After a while…
"I… I have kids, and my mother is too old to live alone… Please… Mercy… Hero…" The guy started sobbing with snot and tears shedding out. "My name is Liu Changjun… I am from Guanchang… I have an eighty years old mother and four kids who are still babies… I have no choice… I just want to go home… That\'s why I rob… Please, hero. Please show mercy… Spare my life…"
Well, guess who he was—Liu Changjun.
Li Wuliang found it hilarious when he saw Liu Changjun change attitude so quickly, so he slightly lifted the saber. It was still on Liu Changjun\'s neck, but it didn\'t press so heavily on his shoulder anymore. When he was just about to say something, the situation changed…
The saber was still touching Liu Changjun\'s neck, but he actually got rid of it instantly.
Before Li Wuliang noticed, Liu Changjun made a weird posture. He bent his body ninety degrees down to get his neck away from the saber. After which, he quickly drew his sword and thrust up like lightning—he actually made a fierce counterattack!
Just how good was Liu Changjun?
His cultivation was still quite low, far from a superior cultivator in this world, but he had a great assassin\'s mindset and experience. He was still able to tell the pros and cons of the current situation. His sharp awareness was one of the best among the cultivators in Qing-Yun Realm!
As a brilliant assassin, he was good at hiding himself. While he was talking nonsense with his mouth, he had been preparing an overbearing attack in order to kill the enemy in one strike!
In the beginning, he didn\'t prepare anything against Li Wuliang because the latter had hidden his own vigor, which made him look like just a weak ordinary person. That was why Liu Changjun had been so nice to him and didn\'t raise his alert at all.
When Li Wuliang was fooled by Liu Changjun\'s words, a good chance showed up for Liu Changjun!
The counterattack was a silent move, which aimed at killing the opponent!
Li Wuliang hadn\'t thought that he would get attacked by such a sharp attack. If he hadn\'t met Cha Eun Xiao back in the snow valley, he would definitely get injured by Liu Changjun\'s sword attack at this moment. If he was the level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivator he used to be, he would probably be able to dodge away and even fight back immediately, but Liu Changjun\'s attack would definitely hurt him. Now, however, he was not the same Fierce Blade anymore. He was stronger than he had ever been in the old days. At this moment, he was no weaker than any cultivator in the world!
This time, he came back to the martial world much earlier than Cha Eun Xiao and Erhuo had expected. That was reasonable. He had been used to the two adverse powers inside his body. After Cha Eun Xiao\'s East-rising Purple Qi absorbed eighty percent of the power, Li Wuliang had become better and better at taming and absorbing the twenty percent that was left in his body. Not long after that, he had already digested all the power left in him, so he had already reached his prime condition!
Liu Changjun\'s attack was indeed surprising, and Li Wuliang was defenseless and careless. However, just before the sword hit him, Li Wuliang reached out one finger to hit the middle of Liu Changjun\'s sword! The sword immediately became ashes in the air!
That was such a distinguished finger attack! After he completely merged the two different powers inside him, his cultivation power was dramatically improved. Because he learned about the Tittle Phase from Cha Eun Xiao who was told by the three Great Elders, he had entered this level before Cha Eun Xiao. He was in Tittle Phase now! That was why he could stop Liu Changjun\'s attack with only one finger tap!
Li Wuliang stopping Liu Changjun\'s sword attack with one finger seemed incredibly impressive, but Liu Changjun\'s attack was more impressive in his mind!
The first reason out of two was that the attack was made in such perfect timing, angle, and power status. That was an ideal assassination move.
Li Wuliang believed he himself would not be able to make a sword attack that was as good as this sword attack of Liu Changjun. If Liu Changjun wasn\'t too weak in cultivation, if he was also in level nine of Dao Origin Stage, Li Wuliang might not be able to block that attack, even though he was in Tittle Phase!
The second reason was that the sword attack, each and every subtle movement of the sword attack, was obviously Cha Eun Xiao\'s unique sword move!
[Who is he? Why does he know Cha Eun Xiao\'s unique move?]
If he hadn\'t met Cha Eun Xiao earlier and got to know that the latter was still alive, he might guess that Liu Changjun must have luckily learned Cha Eun Xiao\'s martial art from some books that Cha Eun Xiao left behind. However, Cha Eun Xiao was still alive, and he never had any disciple brothers. Li Wuliang was sure this man must have a connection with Cha Eun Xiao!
Liu Changjun hadn\'t had a good time after ascending to Qing-Yun Realm. His life was tough. There were always people trying to catch him, and he was always running, robbing, and messing around. However, he had improved a lot under such a miserable life…
After spending all the time in fleeing, he had reached level five of Dream Origin Stage. That was such a marvelous improvement. Aside from that, he had found a treasure map by luck, so he started to go on the journey of treasure hunting. In the days after he decided to get the treasure, he kept robbing around for a living. When he came to this place, he finally ran out of his last bit of resources. His space ring was empty, and he had gone broke.
When he first saw Li Wuliang, he thought that the latter was a fat sheep that would bring him a great deal of money. He even praised the heavens for giving him the opportunity. However, it turned out that the fat sheep was one of the most robust and most influential people in Qing-Yun Realm.
Liu Changjun was a nice guy. Usually, he would never rob a man who looked so miserable. However, after what he had been through in Qing-Yun Realm, he was a changed man. He had one idea in his mind that he would never forget—no matter what, nothing was important than being alive!
When he was in the Land of Han-Yang, he would never be as undignified as telling a lie about having kids and old parents to feed. However, he was in Qing-Yun Realm. The world was different. A bit of acting would bring him a great chance to make an attack which might assure his survival. If Li Wuliang wasn\'t that good, he should have been injured pretty badly by that sneak attack!
Liu Changjun\'s sneak attack must be the best sword strike in his life. When he made sure that the sword attack was made and was ready to celebrate it, a finger suddenly showed up and casually blocked the sword before his eyes. The sword was even broken into countless pieces!
He knew that he was done. He had sensed that this big man with a big beard might be an astonishing superior Dao Origin Stage cultivator. That feeling revealed the truth. When the finger crushed his sword when he had just operated the best sword attack in his life, he realized that he was too weak to rival the man in front of him. The finger attack was even powerful enough to kill him instantly!
However, after the sword was broken, nothing happened. Unexpectedly, Li Wuliang didn\'t attack him!
Instead, he was staring at Liu Changjun like looking at a gorgeous piece of treasure!
Liu Changjun was surprised to see Li Wuliang\'s greedy eyes. He started to feel cold on the back, and immediately squeezed his thighs together. He thought, [What the hell is that look in his eyes… He is not into that thing, is he? Oh no… I prefer being chopped into halves… than… No… Oh no…]
He couldn\'t go on imagining it!
Was Li Wuliang into Liu Changjun?
That was right! He was into Liu Changjun! Hmm… Just not the kind Liu Changjun imagined. But Li Wuliang liked Li Changjun for sure.
Wait. Like was not the right word. Anyways, Li Wuliang didn\'t hate Liu Changjun. He had a simple reason for it. Liu Changjun was weak in cultivation, which meant Li Wuliang could probably kill him by just whistling. However, Liu Changjun\'s last sword attack had amazed Li Wuliang!
Liu Changjun\'s sword attack had reached a marvelous level regardless of its power. Li Wuliang believed that even Xiao Monarch himself couldn\'t do any better than Liu Changjun on this Xiao Monarch\'s unique sword move. He was amazed that Liu Changjun had actually done it so perfectly at such a young age!
Who didn\'t like a talented young cultivator?
In fact, Liu Changjun had built himself a pretty strong martial art skill foundation when he was in the Land of Han-Yang. That was why he could make such a perfect sword attack after practicing in Qing-Yun Realm. Cultivators in the Land of Han-Yang were limited by the environment and endurance of the mortal world, so it had been pretty difficult for Liu Changjun to improve more in his core power. That was why he had focused on practicing weapon skills instead of cultivation capability. Regardless of his cultivation limitation, his sword move was excellent. In Qing-Yun Realm, only those who were in Tittle Phase or beyond could rival people like Ning Biluo, Zhao Pingtian, and Liu Changjun on sword move skills!
What happened was much more straightforward. Li Wuliang confirmed that Liu Changjun was operating Cha Eun Xiao\'s unique sword move, so he told Liu Changjun who he was. Liu Changjun told him the story down in the Land of Han-Yang in return. He had heard Cha Eun Xiao talk about Fierce Sword back in the old days. As Li Wuliang and Liu Changjun told each other more, they became pretty close to each other.
"Master Two."
That was what Liu Changjun decided to call Li Wuliang.
Li Wuliang was pissed about it, yelling furiously, "I mean, Liu, do you know I am older than your master? How could you call me Master Two? Call me Master Superior!"
"No… Master… You may be one thousand years or ten thousand years older than my master, but it won\'t matter to us. You are always our honorable Master Two…" Liu Changjun wouldn\'t give in on the matter of principle.
Li Wuliang was angry about it. Besides, he had been mocked by Li Wuliang again and again earlier. That pissed him up badly too. Thus, he beat Liu Changjun up real hard, but Liu Changjun just wouldn\'t change his mind.
[Kill me if you dare! Come on! I won\'t change my mind even if you beat me to death! You won\'t kill me for real anyway…]
Li Wuliang had to give up in the end.
Li Wuliang had a great impression of Liu Changjun, so he decided to accompany him to find the treasure that was marked on that map. With the support of Fierce Blade, the treasure hunt became much easier.
It took them over a month to find the correct location though. When they got the treasure, Li Wuliang didn\'t take a bit of it. All that was inside that treasure chest belonged to Liu Changjun, including some guidebooks of martial arts.
After that, he led Liu Changjun to a safe and quiet place, left him there to focus on cultivating the martial arts, and eventually left for Oracle District again.
Thinking about what had happened in several months, Li Wuliang became sentimental. It looked like Liu Changjun had taken quite a lot advantages by using Li Wuliang\'s power, but deep in Li Wuliang\'s heart, he knew that he had learned a lot from Liu Changjun\'s amazing skills. In fact, after those days, he had been improved in the Tittle Phase!
Therefore, he felt that he had taken a significant advantage from Liu Changjun!
After saying goodbye to Liu Changjun, Li Wuliang was alone again. He felt lonely.
He even looked around while walking on the road just to see if there was a trap or something.
Maybe somebody would see him as a fat sheep again…
That would be fun, wouldn\'t it?
After he merged the two different attribute powers, he had been improving significantly. At the moment, he still had the potential to develop a lot more. After staying with Liu Changjun, he started to make progress in cultivation again. He continued to absorb the spiritual qi and essence energy from the world, the moon, and the sun. He moved slowly, but he didn\'t waste even one second on the way… He got improved everyday…
That day, he arrived at the Dark Forest by coincidence.
He looked at the vast forest with shadows and darkness, and then he walked into it with big strides.
[The road is under my feet when I walk. The horse is right with me when I ride. No matter how big the world is, I go anywhere I want to go!]
When he entered the forest, he immediately felt that something was not right…
He entered the Dark Forest from a different side, about one and a half day later than Cha Nantian and the five ladies.
Li Wuliang was walking in the forest with big strides, looking around while trying to find out what made him feel something was wrong. Suddenly, he felt a strong power shooting over to him.
"Wait! Is this another bandit who wants to rob me?" Thinking of that, he smiled excitedly.
[Finally… Something is going to save me from getting bored…]
However, the next moment, he found that…
[Holy fuck! Why are there so many superior cultivators in this place?]
He sharply sensed power fluctuations from different directions. His eyes opened wide because he recognized one person that he was pretty familiar with.
"Wait! There are people from Saint Sunlight Sect and Saint Starlight Sect…" His eyes shined with the flames of anger. "Bastards… They are moving fast, wearing masks… They must be in a hurry to do something evil…"
"The enemy of an enemy is a friend! No matter what this is about, I am definitely going to get involved!"
