The Demon Cultivator of the Sword

Chapter 20 Beheading
"Asshole, I won't allow you to insult my Tianren Sect."

The purple-clothed young man's mouth has been bleeding ever since he fell down, but he still did not give in, as if he valued the sect more than his own life.

"So what if I insult your sect? You haven't even mastered the sect's earth-level martial arts, yet you dare to come out and learn to be chivalrous. Do you really think you are a sixth-rank sect disciple? Well, since you want to die, I will grant your wish. With a peak martial artist like you in the early stage of the Condensation Realm, you are a hundred times better than an ordinary person."

After hearing Tu Yuan's words, the crowd seemed to have guessed his identity and scattered like birds and beasts. The purple-clothed youth turned pale.

He could never have imagined that one day he would die in such a miserable way.

But Tu Yuan did not rush to take action. Instead, he looked at the only black-clothed boy who had not left the corner. After seeing the silver wing logo on his black clothes, a solemn look flashed in his eyes, but he was not panicked. "Friend, you seem to have been staring at me for a long time?"

He recognized the man as an inner disciple of the Feitian Demon Sect by the man's attire.

He had encountered sixth-rank sect disciples like this several times before. Each of them was very powerful, but each time he either killed them or let them escape safely.

He believed that this time would be no exception.

Thinking of this, he looked behind the young man, staring at him intently, as if there was someone there whom he cared about.

The young man was naturally Gu Yuan. Seeing Tu Yuan playing this trick on him, he felt amused. Since entering the town, he had been releasing his soul power in an uncertain way. How could he not know if there was someone behind him?
However, since the other party has made a move, it is not his style to not accept the challenge.

As he said this, he looked back in puzzlement, but his body was quietly using the method of phantom clone luck.

"Haha, kid, you are still a little naive." Tu Yuan laughed triumphantly, and his right hand, full of calluses, chopped out vertically with blood-colored lightning arcs swirling on it. Accompanied by bursts of thunder and roars, he chopped towards Gu Yuan who turned his head.

It was the low-level earth-level martial art, the Sky-lifting Thunderbolt Palm, that he relied on.

The result was that the palm strike was a complete slam, and Gu Yuan seemed to be half illusory. Tu Yuan and his palm passed through Gu Yuan's body.

puff!

The next moment, a stream of blood shot out from Tu Yuan's neck and sprayed several meters away.

"You - cheated - me!" With every word Tu Yuan spoke, a large amount of blood gushed out from his neck. At this moment, with his experience in the martial arts world, how could he not see that he was being counter-plotted.

When he was thinking of using the Sky-shaking Thunderbolt Palm to launch a sneak attack and severely injure the opponent, the opponent seemed to have seen through his plan. He instead displayed some superb body skills, leaving a trail of true energy on the spot, and slashed his neck with a sword.

Standing behind Tu Yuan, Gu Yuan didn't say a word. He just turned around and slashed his head with a sword. He then searched his body for a while until he found a storage spirit ring in the lining of his clothes. Then he showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He released his true Qi to invade the place, and the harvest was not bad, 70,000 to 80,000 taels of gold, dozens of spirit stones, several top-level human-level secret books, and the most precious low-level earth-level secret book, the Sky-shaking Thunderbolt Palm.

Gu Yuan casually flipped through it and felt that the method of cultivation was too against nature, and it was not much better than the low-level earth-level martial arts collected by the Feitian Demon Sect. It would be a sin to continue to reveal it, so he threw it into the air and grabbed it with force from a distance. With a bang, the secret book of the Sky-piercing Palm exploded like flowers scattered by a fairy and could never be restored.

This low-level martial art, which relied on sucking human blood to practice, was lost.

At this time, the Tianren Sect disciple had stabilized his injuries and stood up to greet him, "I am Qi Shaotian, a disciple of Tianren Sect. Thank you for saving my life. Please tell me your name. I will repay you in the future."

Qi Shaotian?
Gu Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he asked casually: "There's no need to repay the favor. Let me ask you, who is Qi Shaofeng to you?"

Qi Shaotian was stunned for a moment, "He is the eldest senior brother of my Tianren Sect, and also my clan brother."

"I remember that your Tianren Sect should be in Cangxuan Kingdom, why did you come to the Black Dragon Empire?" After learning that the other party was actually the cousin of Qi Shaofeng who hosted a gathering of masters on the Hidden Dragon List in Sanjiang City of Cangxuan Kingdom in the original novel, Gu Yuan became a little interested and asked casually.

Qi Shaotian saw that Gu Yuan didn't even know these geographical common sense, and he was so young, thinking that this was his first time to venture into the martial arts world. While secretly envying his talent, he patiently explained: "Although Cang Xuan Kingdom is also one of the three major empires, most of its territory is in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The area that is truly suitable for human activities is only one-tenth of the area. This area is close to the Black Dragon Empire, so our Cang Xuan Kingdom sect often receives missions from the Black Dragon Empire."

"I see." Gu Yuan suddenly realized that this time he came out to do the mission, in addition to making money and honing his own strength, he also wanted to understand the local customs and habits of various places so that he could venture into the continent in the future.

Next, Gu Yuan asked the other party some questions about other aspects, and Qi Shaotian answered them one by one.

When Gu Yuan left, he realized that the other party seemed to have never told him his name from beginning to end.

A wry smile appeared on his face.

He was really cautious. If he had been half as cautious as the other party, he would not have been forced into a desperate situation so easily by Tu Yuan and almost died.

However, judging from his attire, he seemed to be an inner sect disciple of the Feitian Demon Sect.

No wonder he is so young and has such powerful strength.

Four days later, Gu Yuan returned to the sect, completed the task, and received a reward of three thousand taels.

However, compared to the bounty, Gu Yuan cares more about the wealth of the target of the mission.

This is also the reason why inner disciples are so keen on taking bounty missions.

Not only is the risk less, but there may also be unexpected receipts.

After all, all mission targets involve robbery.

Their Feitian Demon Sect is known as a demonic sect because most of the skills they practice are demonic, but no one has been seen robbing houses or using living people to practice their skills.

If that were the case, he would have become a public enemy and been attacked by everyone.

But those underworld warriors will do anything to satisfy their own selfish desires.

In this way, the wealth accumulated on one's body would naturally be quite a lot.

Two months passed quickly.

During this period, Gu Yuan, like other inner disciples, practiced for three days and took on missions for two days. In between, he traveled and looked for ways, and learned about the local customs and practices.

The tasks are also varied.

It's not always about fighting and killing, there are occasionally missions issued by the elders of the sect. Ten days ago, Gu Yuan sent a letter from Taoist Black Crow to the hands of Huo Lingzi, the elder of the Fire Spirit Hall.

Huo Lingzi was so happy that he gave Gu Yuan some pointers and, at Gu Yuan's request, demonstrated his sword power which had reached 70%.

Let Guyuan benefit a lot.
