Peerless Sword Saint Checks In Secretly For 3000 Years

Chapter 8



Chapter 8: My Name Is Zhang Sanjian!

The dark mist shrouded the night sky, although there was still a hint of crystal clearness…

The majestic dark mist glowed with a mercury-like luster as it swirled around the edge of the sky, distant yet depressing.

At the training grounds, a group of people took a deep breath as they stood there feeling uneasy.

“The time is coming.”

Zhang Sanjian had stayed up the entire night, keeping himself warm with spiritual energy. There were no traces of fatigue on him. Instead, his mind was fresh, and his three energies were elevated to the highest level.

He dared not to relax in the slightest. With great vigilance, he was constantly looking around.

“It’s almost time. Wake up,” he said in a low voice. He silently placed one of his hands on the first sword behind his back, but after hesitating for a moment, he grasped the third sword firmly; the Assaulting Sword.

The moment he took hold of the sword, the body of the blade trembled mildly. The pressure of great weight exploded, and the intent to kill surged.

Shen Changge was taking a stroll within the Empyrean Sword Sect.

He was thinking meticulously about where it was that he had heard the rooster’s crow.

He began to wonder.

At last, he realized that the location was underneath the Empyrean Peak.

There were no buildings over there, only a tiny path which seldom received visitors.

The path was adjacent to the dark mist.

Shen Changge carried three swords behind his back.

Walking through the darkness, he focused his mind. The Empyrean Sword Manual cycled on its own. As an ex-rotten egg, this was the first time Shen Changge had performed a task alone in such an environment. He remembered that although he had experience in doing missions, his junior brothers would be there to clean up whatever was left.

But this time, he was extremely calm. He was not experiencing any panic nor frustration that a solo adventurist should have.

“The time is still early. I should go and check-in first. The stronger I am, the more confident I’ll be in a while.”

The clock ticked past twelve. The check-in cooldown should have refreshed by now.

Shen Changge rushed to the Sword Lord statue as fast as he possibly could.

“Check-in at Sword Lord statue, Success +1.”

“Acquired reward: Empyrean Sword Manual Cultivation Base *Ten years / Acquired Assaulting Art: Scarlet Lightning.”

After arriving at the training ground, he continued checking in.

“Check-in at Training Ground, Success +1”

“Acquired reward: Cultivation Base *20 years / Spirit Pill *1.”

Shen Changge sat cross-legged on the ground.

The fourth day of checking in had sent his Cultivation Base into the Qi Bending stage.

Although he had not attained a breakthrough with the Empyrean Sword Manual, his mastery over it had become even more profound.

“Assaulting Art…”

Shen Changge’s eyes flickered mildly.

Assaulting Art: Scarlet Lightning.

That, when paired up with the Empyrean Sword Manual: Riding Art of his own obviously seemed more powerful.

Besides, he had already stepped into the Qi Bending stage.

Hence, his confidence had been bolstered.

Presuming that the time was almost arriving, Shen Changge’s countenance gradually turned cold. Slowly, he merged with the darkness, his bright eyes opened wide.

Beneath the Empyrean Peak.

The dark mist gradually parted. A small figure slowly stepped out from among the mist. Her tiny body was wobbling like a puppet on a string. In her arms was a black chicken that seemed mildly decomposed. The little girl toddled along, leaving behind a series of bloody footprints on the ground.

A pair of piercing eyes were watching everything that was happening from within the thick darkness.

The surrounding atmosphere abruptly became eerie and cold.

Wreathed in the shadowy mist, all matter gradually distorted, causing an eeriness that sent chills down to one’s spine.

“Hm-mm-mmph… hm-mph… little chicky… little chicky… be scared, you must not be…

“It’s almost dawn…”

Shen Changge was taken aback as he stood there in the dark.

The little girl’s face was pale and her body was in tatters. Her voice certainly was pleasant, but at the same time, it was bloodcurdling. Like an echo, it reverberated in Shen Changge’s ears.

The little girl put the rotten chicken on the ground.

All of a sudden, the chicken let out a loud and forceful crow.

It sounded throughout the entire Empyrean Sword Sect!

Whoosh!

Without thinking, standing amid darkness, Shen Changge reached up and put his hand over the mark behind his ears. Within a fraction of a second, the patch of skin became extremely hot as if it had been burned by fire!

A cold chill ran through his entire body.

“Hm-mmph~ mph…”

The little girl vanished.

The dark mist dispersed!

In an instant, the little girl disappeared into the dark mist.

Shen Changge took a deep breath.

He slowly walked out of the dark mist and looked at the putrid chicken on the ground.

He gently moved his fingers, and in an instant, a streak of terrifying Swordlight bloomed behind him. The Assaulting Sword whooshed across the sky. Like a thunderclap, dazzling light illuminated the sky with a loud boom and severed the darkness of the night.

It looked like a burst of scarlet lightning!

“Don’t be a chicken in your next life.”

Ka-boom!

The sword penetrated the entity.

Assaulting Art: Scarlet Lightning!

This time, the sword that had flown out was not the Riding Sword, but the Assaulting Sword!

With the Assaulting Sword unsheathed, the surrounding air abruptly turned dense. A gust of killing intent surged. Acting in concert with Shen Changge’s Cultivation Base in the Qi Bending stage, the killing intent abruptly morphed into a horrifying streak of scarlet lightning amidst the murky dark mist!

Red lightning raged!

It struck the putrid chicken, bringing about an instant explosion!

After doing so, Shen Changge turned around and blended into the darkness.

A Master and Slave Demon.

It was a relatively rare kind of demon. They have two bodies. For instance, the little girl that was holding the chicken!

And of these two bodies, there would usually be a main body and a secondary body.

Should the secondary body be killed, it would spawn again. Only by putting the main body to death would the demon truly be killed!

Between the little girl and the chicken, Shen Changge chose the chicken without any hesitation.

The Assaulting Art was delivered at a maximum intensity, which Shen Changge was currently capable of!

The main body had funneled all its power to its secondary body, which was blasted apart by Shen Changge’s move with the sword!

Shen Changge looked into the distance.

“Old geezer, I’ve done everything that I must. May luck be on your side. If you perish, I’ll keep checking in to get a few hundred years of cultivation base, retrieve your body, and bury you in the most scenic and decent place there is inside the dark mist.”

Shen Changge vanished into the dark of the night.

At that moment.

On the training ground.

The dark mist gradually enveloped the area.

Zhang Sanjian gripped his Assaulting Blade with murderous intent reflected in his eyes!

In the distance, clouds of dark mist descended. The colossal training ground quickly shrunk as dark mist loomed inward. As if something was burning at high temperatures, the edge of the venue became blurry. From within the dark mist came the sound of a child’s laughter. It was cunning and sinister. The ghoulish voice came from afar, but it felt to everyone as if it was coming from right behind them!

“G-great master!”

“What should we do?!”

The voices of all of the disciples were trembling a little. They had never seen such a spooky sight before!

Zhang Long was already scared out of his wits. Seemingly recalling the death of Lee Siyun and the others, his fear grew infinitely worse.

“Yunge… a-are we gonna d-die?” His voice was shaking and his lips were pale. He was just at the peak of the Revelation stage, which was the weakest among all of those who were present in the venue. At this point, he was extremely terrified.

He patted the shoulder of the young man beside him. Chu Yunge was at the Enlightenment stage…

The relationship between the two was extremely good.

However, Chu Yunge, who sat beside him, did not give him any response.

“Yunge? Yunge?”

Thud!

Chu Yunge fell to the ground. His expression was full of horror, his face was pale white, and a bloody hole had formed through his chest. The hole itself was extremely hollow…

He… he’s dead!

Zhang Long’s pupils constricted.

At that moment, a little girl was seen lying on Chu Yunge’s body, only a little girl was seen lying on him, her pale visage apparent as she placed her cheek on Chu Yunge’s shoulder. She was seemingly smiling at Zhang Long. Her lifeless face abruptly ripped open, exposing her sharp fangs.

“Ahh!”

He screamed aloud. The venue plunged into chaos. The disciples hurriedly drew their swords, each with vigilance in their eyes.

And at that very moment!

Zhang Sanjian’s eyes flickered.

“Cursed being!

“Today I, Zhang Sanjian, will slaughter you even if it means sacrificing my life!

“Assaulting Sword! Vanquish the evil!” Zhang Sanjian said.

He stood up abruptly, and in the blink of an eye, enormous power surged out from his body. A Divine Bridge erupted high above the sky and terrifying energy burst forward like a raging tide!

The Assaulting Sword behind his back had yet to leave its sheath, however, an overwhelming pressure had already burst forth. It felt as if he was carrying the red sun right behind his back!

I’m going to die after I deliver this attack… Zhang Sanjian felt emotional.

But it is no more than just death, isn’t it?

He felt his vitality being crushed by the rising Sword Clout.

To h*ll with this dark mist!

With death, I will emblazon the Sword Core of the Empyrean Sword Sect!

Don’t people from the main sect always look down on me?

Today, I will let them witness my great power!

Lofty sentiments surged!

The Assaulting Blade quivered, resonating. The surrounding air boiled over as if it was about to fuel a terrifying attack.

“Hahahahahaha! My name is Zhang Sanjian! May the Eternal Night shine upon the path of the blade!

“Assaulting Sword!”

The heroic voice shook the entire Empyrean Sword Sect!

But at the very next moment!

The girl unleashed a miserable shriek and exploded right on the spot!

Zhang Sanjian was still standing in the same spot holding down the Assaulting Sword. His heroic speech had not finished, and the heroism on his face had not faded.

For a moment, the venue plummeted into silence.
