Ch.22 Seeking Death

In the darkness of the night through his spirit sense, he saw two glowing objects or to be more exact two people hiding in a corner.

Although they just wielded two mortal weapons, because of the spiritual energy infused into them, they could easily cut through steel.

"Haa,.. Why seek death when you walk toward immortality."

Yucheng muttered as he looked at the sky and released a sigh. Putting the fallen Longsheng on the side, he walked leisurely toward the two hiding figures.

Even if you ignore their blatant attempts at setting up an ambush their murderous intention were open for all to see.

Judging from their aura they were in the Foundation Period: Spirit Hardening stage, one of the upper echelons of power in this area.

They can easily dominate one side here, plus the fact that they were such a high foundation period cultivator as a loose cultivator there is no way they are stupid.

But seeing the uncontrollable greed in their eyes, the stupid decision to make an ambush but easing their nerve and talking to one another in small voices gave them an aura of stupidity around them.

Turning around his head he looked at the figure of Longsheng deeply, it seemed they had finally noticed Yucheng walking toward them.

A ferocious look appeared on their face as they released their spiritual pressure toward Yuchneg, and a dark blue and purplish-red aura exploded.

Yucheng's eyes also glowed a golden blue glow as his spiritual pressure was also released. It was good that it was somewhat far from the gathering place otherwise cultivators would have already started to gather here.

"Boy!! Get ready to lose your life here."

A scar-faced man who released the blue aura shouted as he pointed his saber at Yucheng, seeing the saber an uncomfortable memory came to Yucheng's mind and he snorted with displeasure.

"Die Kid!!!."

The other man shouted as he pounced at Yucheng with a sword, taking out his sword he blocked the attack.

Clank!!

The clash of the metals was heard as Yucheng pushed back the man, changing his sword's position he blocked the saber's attack.

Although he has a high-grade-spirit weapon and the opponent only has a Mortal Weapon, due to his inability to infuse spiritual energy into it, his weapon couldn't break the opponent.

"Flame Technique: Flame Spear."

Yucheng heard chanting from the side as a small spear of flames illuminated the surroundings driving away the darkness.

Moving at speeds tens of times faster than the speed of sound the spear appeared in front of Yucheng's face.

No!

He kicked the ground as the ground cracked, and his figure disappeared as the fire spear hit the wall of the alley exploding like a small bomb.

Before he could even take a breather a saber sliced toward his neck with a half-moon pattern, sensing danger his body moved again as he dodged the slash.

 Stopping his body he kicked the ground again as he rushed back, with a simple slash he attacked the scar-faced man.

Although Yucheng was way faster the man was able to react and dodge just in the nick of time saving his life.

But a line of blood was drawn across his face making him look even more ferocious, the man didn't mind his injury as he sliced at Yucheng in a swift motion.

Yucheng blocked it as he prepared for a follow-up.

"Forget Me?! Hehe. Flame Technique: Incineration"

The voice of the other man was heard just being him as a fireball was created in his hand, it was a point-blank attack and Yucheng was unable to dodge.

BOOOM!!

The fireball exploded as Yucheng's figure was engulfed by fire, the ground he stood on showed signs of melting.

"Moon Saber: Fallen Moon!!!"

The scar-faced man wasn't one to stop as he did his ultimate move, large amount of spiritual energy was released by his dantina as it covered his saber.

It started to glow a bright blue color as an image of a fallen moon appeared behind the man, he sliced down as a wave of half-moon-shaped saber energy was released.

SWHOOOOOOO!!!!

The winds cried as it hit its mark, a small ravine was created on the ground as dust and mud rose, and the ground shook as if it had been hit by an earthquake.

"Bro! Why did you destroy his body. Now what do we look."

The man with the sword asked as he looked at his friend and then the ravine in front of him with a helpless look.

"Just loot that other kid!!"

The scar-faced man snorted as he wiped the dust away from his saber the other man just sighed but didn't say anything else.

"Their intelligence seems to return when they fight...."

"Is it always the case or is it because Longsheng isn't the one who is fighting.."

Just as the two men were about to walk away a calm voice was heard from the distance, this voice tensed their nerves as they looked in the direction of the voice.

There stood Yucheng in his spotless white Taoist robes completely unharmed, There was some dust covering his face the result of their all-out attack.

"But... I like to thank you."

"After all you helped me see some of my shortcomings."

After saying that Yuchneg gave them a gentlemanly bow, seeing the same calm face he had seen since the start of the battle the scar-faced man was finally angered.

"What are you talking about Kid,...die!!!"

The scar-faced man shouted as he rushed toward Yuchneg with all his speed.

"But.. Now it's time to end this farce... after all the night is already deep..."

With those words Yucheng disappeared from the vision of those two, just as the scar-faced man was planning to stop his charge he felt a pain in his heart.

"Aw!"

Looking down he saw swords piercing through his heart and Yucheng's calm face next to him. Releasing a pained grunt he tried to move his body but he couldn't.

Coughing up blook he looked at Yucheng taking out the sword from his heart with some regret, his eyes started to lose light as his body fell down.

A once powerful person in this area... now a dead body. Such is the life of a cultivator.

"As for you.."

The man was still surprised by the turns of events and before he could even panic Yucheng's soothing voice was heard in his ear.

But this didn't calm his panic but plunged him into even deeper fear.

"A good idea to act like a Sword Cultivator while being a Magic Cultivator."

"I."

Before he could finish his words his head fell down, a look of disbelief and fear on his face as his his life ended.

Yucheng didn't even stop to loot them as he knew they didn't have and Space Bag, let alone a Space ring.

Picking up the drunk Longsheng he disappeared from the place of a battle, after an hour or so cultivators started to gather after they had made sure the fight had ended.
