13: Ghosts and Demons

A whole day went by while xiao Chen trained in the forest, it would definitely take him a lot longer to breakthrough to the heavenly Qi realm by just relying on these weak beasts, he would most likely have to wait until he reached the sect..

Swoosh!!!

A wind blade was sent flying towards an ethereal white floating being..

[white curtain ghost] the system's voice was heard..

The rumor about ghosts was really true, these ghosts came in all shapes in sizes, either as human beings or beasts..

Boom!!!

The whit curtain ghost barely managed to dodge the wind blade, before it could flee from the monster of a human before it, it was slashed down in half by a sword..

If it wasn't for xiao Chen's high cultivation, seeing this ghost would nearly be impossible, he would even be able to fight back once it possessed him..

The ghost wailed in pain as it tossed and turned in the air, its body slowly turning into bright lights before they were lifted off towards the sky..

This was the third ghost xiao Chen had fought so far, they were relatively weak, but for people with lower cultivation's, these white curtain ghosts were deadly demonic Kings which could send any village into extreme chaos..

There were still many supernatural things hidden from mortals.

Xiao Chen instantly used the [primordial devouring technique] causing the essence particles of the ghost to fly into his body, nourishing his soul and flesh.

...

Grrrr...

A low groaning sound was heard, the smell of blood drifting into the air, behind a tall tree, a bloodied dark figure instantly creeped out..

This figure was a humanoid figure, but it looked nothing like a human, two large fangs could be seen etched on its devilish smile, two large horns on its head, and there were many sharp thorns protruding through its body, the figure wore clothes one would usually see villagers wearing, but these clothes were bloodied, ripped and torn through..

Its long snake-like tongue slithered around its lips as it stared at xiao Chen as if he was a nice meal..

This was a demon.

Xiao Chen held his sword in hand, not one bit afraid of the demon, he had already seen plenty and was used to it, demons were originally humans, but due to some special circumstances, were turned into demons that disturbed the peace of the mortals..

"H...h...hu...human" the demon slowly walked towards xiao Chen, even its feet had sharp fang-like metal objects on it, its crystalline bloodied teeth was easily seeable in the dark night illuminated by the moon..

"F*ck off" xiao Chen roared before dashing towards the demon, the demon flinched as it hadn't expected xiao Chen to take the initiative to attack it..

It roared as it clawed down with its sharp claws intending to clash with xiao Chen head on..

It even cocked its head back before trying to take a huge bite out of his sword..

Xiao Chen didn't hold back, with the grade of his sword, the demon would only scratch its surface..

Xiao Chen's sword howled in the wind as it's fast movements akin to that of a snake tore through the wind..

Puchi..

The speed was enough to confused the demon before the sword stabbed into its head.

It's skull was instantly shattered, xiao Chen's sword appearing on the other side of its head..

Xiao Chen grinned as he watched the demon fall to the ground, he didn't fear any being so far except the jade-scaled roc, if anything he wouldn't want to fight it anytime soon...

Xiao Chen sat next to the corpse before devouring it with the primordial technique..

...

Two more days went by, xiao Chen had traveled through the forest fighting beasts, demons and ghosts alike.

His strength was slowly increasing, he didn't have a breakthrough but his strength was nonetheless soaring by leaps and bounds..

Xiao Chen wasn't even scared of the strongest person in the gale village, only those heavenly Qi realm cultivators could compete with him, at the same time he wasn't sure f he could intercept their attacks which used qi..

In these three days, he would fight crazy amounts of beasts in the day time, but at night he would have to fight against beasts, demons and ghosts..

The ghosts were especially tricky, it was very hard to see and sense them without looking carefully, the demons however were always seen whenever the smell of blood was permeating through the air, demons would eat anything, wether humans or beasts..

Xiao Chen sat atop a tree branch while deep in thoughts, his eyes narrowed as he felt a strong presence in the sky...

F*ck, don't tell me it's the jade-scaled roc, xiao Chen slowly looked up towards the sky, his jaw nearly falling to the bottom of the tree..

High above the sky..

A huge sword could be seen flying across the sky, many people could be seen atop the sword, it was hard to see, but for xiao Chen, he could see them clearly...

These were the immortal daoists of the mountain sect.

Xiao Chen looked at the huge sword flying through the clouds with excitement.

The thought of getting a sword like that after completing the system mission was still in his head, of course he was expecting it to be normal sized, he wouldn't be carrying kids on it after all..

Xiao Chen sat up before dashing towards the direction of the village, he couldn't be late.

Xiao Chen ran as if he was flying through the woods, he immediately passed many people before going through gate and was noticed by the guards, they only sighed as they noticed he had survived..

Xiao Chen continued running through the the bustling and loud village and towards the Liu family courtyard..

Xiao Chen sighed in relief as he noticed old Liu standing next to the Liu family courtyard gate..

"Lad, you are back in time" Old Liu said with a smile..

Xiao Chen could only scratch his head, he would have been late if he didn't see the huge flying sword.
