Little Demon Reversion to Youth

Chapter 129

The sects that came out of Jin Tiansuo's mouth were mysterious sects that were talked about in legends.

Is he looking for someone from a mysterious sect?

Jin Tiansuo stood up, went to the window, and said, "Come out."

Then he jumped down just like that.

"Heaven Lord? Are you crazy? How high is this..."

Baekji went to the window and looked down.

Jin Tiansuo was slowly descending the cliff.

Below the cliff, among the rough river waters, a few reefs came into view. They were small reefs where one person could barely stand.

Jin Tiansuo stepped on one of them and looked up.

"What are you doing?"

What are you doing, in the middle of drinking?

Baekji sighed and jumped out the window.

"Eek!"

The reef was slippery, and he almost fell.

Baekji grumbled, "This is a trick you use often, isn't it?"

"......?"

"I mean, getting your opponent drunk and then calling them down like this. It's hard to even stand properly."

"You're exaggerating..."

Jin Tiansuo's expression was serious.

In his hand, a short saber had appeared.

A blunt saber about a foot long, like the one m Jin Tianxiang, used. The blade was wide, so it also looked like a kitchen knife.

"Where on earth did you get that saber?"

Baekji asked, observing Jin Tiansuo.

Where did a saber that wasn't there come from?

Jin Tiansuo did not answer and aimed his saber.

"The profound realm? Or have you achieved the wall-breaking realm? I can't get a feel for it at all. I didn't know such a being existed."

"..."

Jin Tiansuo slowly lowered his saber and then instantly swung it up.

Not even a sound was made, but an invisible powerful energy flew from all directions.

Baekji staggered and then waved both his hands.

Kka-gang! Kka-ga-gang!

The powerful energy that shot out from both his hands clashed with Jin Tiansuo's formless saber energy, and a sound erupted.

Sha-sha-sha-sak―!

Jin Tiansuo's saber moved quickly, and a storm-like sharp energy raged.

The river water was caught up in the sharp energy, churned, and soared a 'jang' (approx. 3 meters) high.

In the meantime, a saber wall pushed in.

The moment it hit, it would shatter into pieces.

This is no joke.

Baekji spat out bluntly, "Alright. Let's do this."

Kwang! Kwa-kwang!

As powerful energy and powerful energy clashed, water pillars soared.

Pa-pa-pat

At some point, the two were facing each other and running on the river.

The two who had crossed the river in an instant.

On the opposite side, numerous ferry boats were moored as if to cross the river, and among them, martial artists holding torches were coming and going.

Chwa-a-ak!

Out of nowhere, with continuously soaring water pillars, two beings like disasters rushed in.

"Ugh! Dodge!"

"What is that?"

Jin Tiansuo was like a black whirlwind, and Baekji was like a single dragon weaving through that wind.

Kwa-kwang!

As the storm of saber energy raged, boats were split, and the boats that the two landed on or stepped on were half-destroyed.

The groups that were in a state of confusion on the boats jumped into the river, and those on the riverbank threw away their torches and fled.

Ku-kung!

Water pillars soared,

Shwii-i-ik!

Fragments of powerful energy scattered.

How much time had passed?

The riverbank was a mess.

"Hahaha!"

At some point, Jin Tiansuo shot up into the air, laughed loudly, and then flew towards the cliff where Half-Moon Fortress was.

"Ah..."

The groups that were trying to attack Half-Moon Fortress trembled, having seen for themselves what kind of being they were trying to attack.

Jin Tiansuo, while competing with Baekji, had also given them a warning.

"Tsk!"

Baekji, left alone, looked at the chaotic riverbank and then flew away, chasing after Jin Tiansuo.

Jin Tiansuo was already back in his seat, sipping his drink.

"What is this? Is it okay to work someone like this?"

Baekji grumbled.

Jin Tiansuo drank silently.

It was as if he was reliving the situation where they had just competed.

'This brat is also strange.'

The martial world is full of strange brats.

The fight just now was extremely dangerous.

What was surprising was Jin Tiansuo's realm.

It seemed he had reached the profound realm.

Baekji said, "I have a friend... this friend is originally bright and optimistic. But it seems he went through a lot during a sensitive period. He lived wearing a mask of expressionlessness. It was very clumsy. I recognized it at a glance."

Baekji, eating a handful of peanuts that had come out as a side dish, said, "Bring out some more side dishes. What is this, peanuts and a few slices of cucumber."

And he continued, "I met the complete opposite person today. On the outside, he's lively, easygoing, and magnanimous... but it turns out he has a very gloomy personality."

Jin Tiansuo just drank silently.

"Did the Heaven Lord suffer a lot at a young age?"

Jin Tiansuo did not answer.

Baekji also sipped his drink.

"Keo-heuk! It's strong. You don't look that old, but to drink like that... was the bitter taste of life a bit too much? Is that why you trained so hard? But it's still a realm that doesn't make sense."

"..."

Jin Tiansuo laughed.

"You, on the other hand, have crossed the wall-breaking realm. At that age... amazing."

"Wall-breaking?"

"Some people call it the life-and-death realm... what does the term matter?"

Wall-breaking... to refer to the life-and-death realm as wall-breaking...

It means he knows about that realm.

"Well, I have my reasons. You're the one who doesn't make sense, right? The profound realm at that age? Jin Tianxiang has also already reached the 'true realm'... are you two siblings a martial arts constitution or something? This is something that can't be."

He wanted to ask if he had reincarnated like him, but he held it in.

"..."

Jin Tiansuo was still silent.

Baekji, suddenly having a hunch, asked, "Is it the 'Profound Moon Gate'?"

A mysterious sect that was also called the 'Profound Moon Divine Palace'.

Baekji seemed to have seen a black moon in the saber energy that Jin Tiansuo had unleashed.

Jin Tiansuo, looking at Baekji with an interested gaze, said, "If it's neither the Extreme Middle Path nor the No Martial Sect... does that mean you have achieved the wall-breaking realm as an ordinary human?"

He was offended.

For some reason, he felt ignored.

"What are you talking about? Then are you saying the Heaven Lord is not human? Well, at that age, the profound realm is a monster. You just ate and dug into martial arts, right?"

"..."

Jin Tiansuo drank silently and looked out the window.

For some reason, his gaze looked lonely.

"Tsk. It seems you have no intention of telling me. I don't want to force it out of you either. Let's just get to the point."

"..."

"Let's form an alliance."

"..."

"Didn't you say we should join forces to fight the Blood Sect?"

Jin Tiansuo said, still looking out the window, "I was thinking of that at the time, but it's a bit difficult now."

"What do you mean? How can you change your words after so little time has passed?"

"As you can see, I'm being stabbed in the back."

Baekji followed Jin Tiansuo's gaze and looked across the river.

The river, where fragments of broken boats floated, was reflected in the torches that had fallen to the ground.

"Who on earth are they?"

"The Sea Ghost Sect, the South Snake Sect, the Mother Fox Sect... there will be a few more sects."

"With that level of skill, you can wipe out all the third-rate sects."

"Even so, they'll come again. Their roots are the Zhuang, Miao, and Hong peoples... the ethnic minorities. If you kill one, two will be replenished. I don't know where the leaders are hiding."

"Then run away. There are so many good places to live up north. Is there a need to bicker here?"

"..."

He had not known that the leader of the number one Black Path sect in the Central Plains, the Four Shrines Heaven Lord, would be having such worries.

Moreover, being in the profound realm.

'He was born a worrier.'

How does he lead the Black Path with such a personality?

"Shall I mediate?"

Jin Tiansuo slowly turned his head and looked at Baekji.

His melancholic eyes were so deep that if a woman saw them, she would want to dive in.

"Aigoo. Don't look at me with those eyes. I'm not a woman."

Baekji grumbled and stood up.

"First, let's eat our fill! How can a few peanuts be a side dish? Let's roast a whole pig like the Black Path!"

* * *

Even though he had been so careful, the pursuit followed immediately.

Shwiik―!

Teong!

In the darkness, the sound of an arrow flying and hitting the carriage was heard.

The arrow, unable to pierce the carriage reinforced with steel plates, was stuck.

The carriage sped through the darkness.

Masters of the Wind and Cloud Pavilion were guarding the front and back.

Shangguan Ming, sitting in the carriage, looked at the lying Alliance Leader with a grave face.

His heart ached.

'Decades for the Alliance... to think that this is the reward. It is a relief that you are unconscious.'

At the same time, anger welled up.

'The great sects, the noble families... I will not forget today's events.'

Perhaps it was something that was destined to happen.

The elders who represented the great sects or noble families.

If you looked inside, they were mostly people who had been spat out because they were troublesome in their sects or families.

The sect masters of the great sects or the heads of the noble families had sent those who were difficult for them to handle to the Alliance.

They had built their own castles, taking honor, power, and money with the status of elders.

The elders, who had become the vested interests in a system that had solidified over decades, had now even come to interfere in the affairs of their original sects or families.

'Tang Tianhui... did you know?'

Perhaps the reason why Tang Tianhui had not dispatched an elder to the Martial Alliance was because of this.

Shangguan Ming was on his way to the Tang family.

An old bosom friend.

Almost no one knew the fact that he and Tang Tianhui were bosom friends.

Therefore, the safest place was the Tang family.

But if he was exposed like this, going to the Tang family was also a dangerous thing.

Teong―!

Pa-ak!

The sound of arrows hitting was heard in succession. The enemy was getting closer.

"We'll take the rear."

The voice of one of the Wind and Cloud Pavilion masters was heard.

The carriage did not slow down and ran.

The Wind and Cloud Pavilion masters who were blocking the rear...

Would probably die.

* * *

As Baekji was passing through the training ground, a saber came flying from behind with a 'pa-ang' sound.

"Eek!"

Baekji ducked his head to avoid the saber. The spinning saber went into Jin Tianxiang's hand.

"What? I almost died!"

"You said you were a master of the wall-breaking realm."

Jin Tianxiang looked at Baekji with disbelieving eyes.

Baekji, hearing Jin Tianxiang also mention the wall-breaking realm after Jin Tiansuo, was curious.

"What is the wall-breaking realm?"

As he asked with wide, clear eyes, Jin Tianxiang also couldn't just throw her saber.

"First, let's compete. If you win, I'll tell you."

"Of course I'll win. So let's just talk without wasting our energy. I ate a few peanuts, and I'm hungry, so I can't fight."

A few glasses of alcohol and a few peanuts. Besides, he had even used his strength competing with Jin Tiansuo.

"Hmph! A master of the wall-breaking realm is hungry? Does that make sense?"

Jin Tianxiang, without listening further, rushed in and thrust her saber.

"Draw your sword!"

The treasured sword hanging from Baekji's waist.

"This is a decoration."

Baekji waved his hand and stepped back.

Jin Tianxiang's saber energy poured out.

Pa-pa-pat

As soon as Baekji dodged, the saber energy was embedded in the ground and the wall.

"Hey, let's not do this and compete formally!"

When Baekji shouted, Jin Tianxiang withdrew her saber.

"You should have come out like that from the beginning. I'll give you time to draw your sword."

"I told you this is a decoration. My weapon is outside."

"......?"

"Follow me."

Baekji left Half-Moon Fortress.

"How far are we going?"

"To the bamboo forest."

"The bamboo forest is that way."

The two walked the night road to the bamboo forest.

Baekji drew his sword, cut a bamboo, and trimmed it.

"Hmm. They said the Alliance Leader's disciple subdued a Blood Demon with a bamboo staff. Do you really use a bamboo staff?"

"This has a good feel when you hit with it."

"..."

Anger appeared on Jin Tianxiang's face.

"Use a real sword."

"No. If I hit with a sword, you could get hurt. The sword could also break."

"Are you saying you're going easy on me now?"

"I'm not just going easy on you, so don't be too grateful."

Grind.

"You also have a habit of grinding your teeth. It's not good to do that from a young age."

Baekji held up the fully trimmed bamboo staff.

He held it with both hands as if to gauge its weight and checked with his eyes if it was bent, as serious as if he were appraising a treasured sword.

"It's just a bamboo staff. Don't waste time."

"Tsk. Alright. You're determined to get hit, right?"

"No need to go far. Let's settle it here."

The two stood in a clearing in the bamboo forest.

Pa-pa-pat!

As Jin Tianxiang swung her saber properly, bamboo leaves fell in a shower, caught up in the sharp energy.

Teong.

The moment the bamboo staff struck the saber, Baekji disappeared.

'Heok!'

Jin Tianxiang took a sharp breath. Even with her eyes that had reached the 'true realm', she had lost Baekji.

Peok!

A heavy impact exploded on her buttocks.

Peo-peo-peok!

A bamboo staff that flew in succession. It felt as if her buttocks were on fire.

"Kki-a-a-ak!"
