Under the night sky, a plane flew from Jing province to the Zhou province.
In the first-class cabin of the plane, there were two figures, one young and one old.
The middle-aged man’s eyes revealed a trace of arrogance as he lightly humd a popular song from the Han state.
The young man quietly looked at the starry sky outside the window.
“Jiansheng, you did very well this ti. The best of the nine provinces is Jing province, and you’ve already taken down all of the genius swordsn there. It can be considered a good start.
“If you can sweep through the remaining eight provinces, your na will definitely shake the world!
“At that point, the prestige of the Han state in the world will rise to a new level!”
The young man’s face was indifferent, and no one could see the slightest ripple in his expression.
“You are thinking too much. The nine provinces are full of capable people. How can you underestimate the 5,000 years of civilization and the legacy of Xin Huo?
“Take the few people in Jing province for example. They all comprehended from books and studied on their own without anyone to teach them.
“Even so, their sword technique attainnts have already made feel threatened.
“If they were like and had a teacher, I’m afraid we would have already been defeated there.”
A hint of displeasure flashed across Section Chief Jin’s face.
“Jiansheng, you overestimate the nine provinces.
I admit that the nine provinces indeed had 5,000 years of civilization and there are many capable people. However, don’t forget that in the past 200 years, the nine provinces had been sched against by the various states of the world and had suffered many large-scale attacks from star beasts. Currently, many martial arts had already lost their inheritance and futures.
Although the nine provinces had been actively recovering their strength in the past few decades, how could 200 years of injuries be healed in a day?
The sword art competition is about skill and sword intent, not cultivation!
“You are under the tutelage of my sword sage of Han state, Liu Chengxun, and you have already cultivated your sword skills to the level of perfection.
“Surely you will be able to raise our state’s prestige!
“The next stop is Jianghai city in the Zhong province. This is the first stop of that region. Rest well and focus your mind. Three days later, you will make the entire Zhong province tremble in fear!”
Piao Jiansheng slowly closed his eyes.
Raise the prestige of the state?
Han state was just a small place with a culture and history inherited from the nine provinces.
It was already under the control of the United States of Arica. What prestige is there?
He was not interested in their so-called patriotism at all.
He only wanted to be a formidable martial artist!
A true sword art martial artist who strives to improve his sword art!
...
A night passed in the blink of an eye.
Soon, it was ti to go to work the next day.
...
“Two bean curd buns, two bean paste buns, one beef bun, and a cup of soymilk. That’s a total of eight items. Why did you give the amount for ten?”
“You didn’t count the extra beef bun I took yesterday.”
“Young man, you’re really honest. If you didn’t tell , I wouldn’t have known.”
Ye Xiao smiled and was too embarrassed to reply.
That was because that beef bun was stolen by Huan Liuli.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard an explosion, followed by a scream.
“There was a car accident. Soone is injured!”
The aunty from the breakfast shop frowned. As she packed up the buns, she grumbled unhappily,
“Again! Sothing happens every day. This is really weird.”
Ye Xiao wondered.
“Do car accidents often happen here?”
“Not really. But recently they say it has been happening almost twice a week. It’s really weird. However, when an exorcist is called over, it’s always a different issue every ti. Today, get stone lions, tomorrow get a peach wood stake. No matter how many people co and go, it doesn’t seem to have any effect. Instead, more and more people die.
“In the past, only ordinary people died. In these two years, even martial artists with divine souls have begun dying.”
Ye Xiao glanced at the roundabout not far away and raised his eyebrows slightly.
A grandmaster could not see spirit bodies, but he had cultivated spiritual techniques, so he could see spirit bodies.
There was clearly an evil spirit sitting on the golden ox statue in the middle of the flower bed. It wore century-old clothing and was chewing on the soul that had just died in the car accident.
That evil spirit had probably been cultivating for quite a long ti. Not only was its spiritual energy strong, but the aura around it was also very powerful.
The power of its spiritual energy was around that of a Houtian ninth-grade martial artist.
However, because it was a spirit body, even grandmasters might not be a match for it without cultivating spiritual techniques.
He carried the buns and soy milk while he slowly walked over.
Huan Liuli, who was at his side, held the beef bun that Ye Xiao had just bought and could not help but say,
“Master, why are you still giving her money? She didn’t see when I stole from her yesterday so she won’t cause you any trouble for it”
“Because I’m a human. I’m just doing what a human should do.”
“What’s the difference? Humans are born from their human mothers, and star beasts are born from their star beast mothers. Both are born from the mother!”
Huan Liuli rolled her eyes. It was very difficult for her to understand Ye Xiao.
In the world of star beasts, the strong were always respected, and the strong preyed on the weak.
The weak were only fit to be trampled under the feet of the strong.
Ye Xiao did not explain too much to her.
Humans had humanity!
That was the biggest difference between humans and star beasts.
At that mont, as he walked, he stared straight at the evil spirit. His gaze was calm, and one could not tell what he was thinking.
The evil spirit sat on the golden ox statue and gnawed on the soul. The expression on the soul was that of pain so much so that his facial features were twisted together.
However, the evil spirit would not let the soul go just because of that. Instead, the more the soul struggled, the more excited the evil spirit beca.
The evil spirit and the soul were both things that normal people could not see.
The evil spirit gnawed on the soul while admiring his ‘masterpiece’. As he watched the crowd below gather around the car accident, his eyes revealed a hint of greed.
Obviously, he had a big appetite. One soul was not enough一he also wanted to eat the souls of everyone gathered.
‘After I devour a thousand souls, I’ll be able to condense my soul into a physical form.
‘Then, with the control of spiritual energy, the two of them will beco one. I might even directly enter the great sect and beco a great grandmaster!
‘In that case, it would be the sa as being reborn. I would be able to get rid of the shackles of this corpse and leave this place completely, becoming a free person!’
However, at that mont, his gaze suddenly fell on Ye Xiao.
The mont their eyes t, his expression could not help but be stunned.
Had he been discovered?
What a fellow!
That brat looks young. Who would have thought that he had so potential!
‘No, since he saw , I must not let him leave. Otherwise, once I’m exposed and attract a grandmaster or an exorcist above the grandmaster grade, I’ll be finished.’
With that in mind, he imdiately threw down the soul that he gnawed on and pounced toward Ye Xiao’s face.
In an instant, the entire street’s electromagnetic field was disturbed. The traffic lights and street lights flickered rapidly, the cars honked, and a cloud in the sky blocked the sun’s dazzling brilliance. A gust of cold wind blew and everyone could not help but shiver.
The evil spirit was extrely fast, like a black bolt of lightning. In an instant, it arrived in front of Ye Xiao.
That ugly face was even more terrifying because it had a bloodthirsty grin on its face.
By killing Ye Xiao not only would it prevent his secret from being exposed, but it would also allow him to consu a powerful soul!
Of course, he did not think that Ye Xiao was all that strong.
How dangerous could a 20-year-old kid possibly be?
“Die!”
