Chapter 386: Killing Chickens

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Although Han Family had moved into Four Elements City for less than 30 years, with Han Xiaotian as an elder that led the family, their family thrived well. Their mansion was sprawling and opulent, which evoked a wealthy feeling.

"Morning, Mr Crazy Knife!"

Early in the morning, Fang Yuan just woke up and was extravagantly served by eight young maids. As he walked to the courtyard, he saw Han Jingfei and his sister waiting over there. There were a few drops of sweat on their body which meant they had been waiting for quite some time.

Han Jingfei felt the most uneasy inside him.

At the banquet last night, Fang Yuan saw him in a totally different light and praised him as being "sturdy and well built while also talented and intelligent", which meant that he was suitable to train in Crazy Knife's martial arts.

When Han Xiaotian heard it, he was absolutely speechless as he was very clear what kind of person his grandson was.

But at that time, due to a certain purpose, he still let Han Jingfei and his sister get closer to Fang Yuan.

"In actual facts... this Han Xiaotian is a nephew of Master. Thus, I would be two generations above this pair of siblings... but for no reason, my seniority was dropped by two levels! That's so sad!" Fang Yuan thought.

After Fang Yuan made his observations yesterday, he had already largely confirmed that this Han Family was one branch of his Master's family.

They had even changed their surnames, it was evident that they were hiding from troubles.

"Hmm, since both of you can come, that's great!"

Fang Yuan nodded his head and acted like some sort of hero, "Although both your builds are rather average, both of you are still suitable to learn my line of martial arts and secret techniques! If the two of you train well, you all might be accomplished next time."

"Ah... please teach us, teacher!"

Han Jingfei was a ditz, he was very excited the moment he heard what Fang Yuan said. After Han Ling'er tugged his sleeves, he then realised something and laughed dumbly while scratching his head, "Of course, I still have to seek approval from grandpa!"

"Humph! This line of martial arts of mine only has one disciple per generation and there are also special rules to be adhered to!"

Fang Yuan looked at Han Ling'er and smiled sinisterly.

"What rules?"

Han Jingfei asked curiously before he suddenly remembered this Crazy Knife was a loner and that he might even be someone from an evil sect, which explained why he was so extreme in dealing with things. Hence, Han Jingfei was secretly afraid.

"This line of martial arts can only be passed down to one person per generation..."

Fang Yuan shook his head and continued, "Before this, I already one have one disciple under me. If you want to learn, I have to go back and kill that disciple first before I can accept you as my disciple!"

"Hehe... you must be joking..."

Fear struck in Han Jingfei's heart as he secretly confirmed Fang Yuan must be a skilled martial artist from an evil sect inside his mind. Now, he could only smile awkwardly to hide his thoughts.

"But one or two techniques should be no problem! Catch it..."

Fang Yuan loosened the long knife on his waist and threw it forward.

"Bang!"

The knife was brought randomly from the street side and its blade was extremely mediocre. However, it was now different after Fang Yuan trained with it once and secretly planted his Mind Imprint on it.

Han Jingfei was almost breathless just from holding the handle of the knife.

A tinge of blood appeared in his eyes as though he saw the scenes of early civilisation, where hundreds of tribes fought against each other on the vast lands. There was a barbarian wielding a long knife slicing through everything while battling against all sorts of wild beasts.

"This sword is called Demon Knife and its technique is called Demon Knife Technique. This knife can kill deities and snatch their souls, each slice of this knife is heartless..."

As Fang Yuan's deep and serene voice be heard, Han Jingfei snapped out of his trance and his forehead was drenched with sweat.

"You must remember, the essence of this knife technique is, 'humans must resist the knife' and it is not 'the knife must resist humans'! If your mind is not strong enough, you might be led astray and never recover from the tribulations!"

In actual facts, the 12 Demon Knife Styles were just an improvisation made by Fang Yuan from one of the techniques in the witches' inheritance combined with modern martial arts.

Although the knife technique was only slightly above average, it was vicious, strong and was forged through numerous experiences. Accompanied by the hint of barbarism on the knife, the might of the person who wields it would increase tremendously and there would be hope for him to become a Wu Zong one day!

Hence, seeing how useless Han Jingfei was, Fang Yuan thought he had to harden him through some training for him to become accomplished.

"Big brother... this demon knife is so dangerous, let's not learn it?"

Han Ling'er tugged Han Jingfei's arms and was so scared she almost cried out.

"Not learn it? No way!"

Han Jingfei clenched his teeth. He missed that feeling of world domination he felt when he was in his short moment of trance just now, which made him determined to learn it.

Furthermore, Han Jingfei knew that with his own innate talents, there was only a 50% chance of him becoming a Wu Zong in his entire lifetime.

However, if he had that knife, he could win against all martial artists who passed the 4 Heavenly Gates and his chances of becoming a Wu Zong would multiply like crazy!

There was nothing else to be said and the choice of obvious.

"Hmm, not bad, each slice of the knife does not come with regret! Every time you draw your knife, you must draw blood! You must, must remember this!"

Inside the garden, Fang Yuan sat inside the pavilion as he watched Han Jingfei obsessively and repeatedly practised his knife techniques.

Opposite Fang Yuan, Han Ling'er was very concerned but forced herself to remain composed as she brewed tea for Fang Yuan.

She was skilled and dainty in preparing the tea and watching her brew tea was like watching a butterfly fluttering beautifully. It also made Fang Yuan smelt a familiar scent.

"Great tea!"

As Fang Yuan drank the tea, its taste lingered in his mind. Fang Yuan was slightly dazed by the tea.

The tea and her skills were passed down within a family, which made Fang Yuan noticed the slight similarities between it and meditative tea ceremony.

After a long pause, Fang Yuan finally slowly said, "Your basics are passable, you don't have to learn any martial arts. I have some medical skills and a mind-cleansing formula which I can teach you. If you master it, even if your brother goes crazy and even demonic next time, you will still be able to save him from it. Are you willing to learn?"

Actually, the Demon Knife Fang Yuan gave only appeared scary. It was at most better at killing and with Han Jingfei's calibre, it would be extremely difficult for him to become demonic.

Nevertheless, Han Ling'er was still scared of it and immediately exclaimed, "I am willing!"

"Great, very good!"

Fang Yuan nodded his head, "But before that, you have to learn how to brew tea!"

"Brew tea?"

From her eyes, it could be told that the young girl was slightly perplexed.

"That's right..."

Fang Yuan felt extremely emotional inside his heart. Master Heartless accepted him as a disciple last time and now, he was teaching two descendants of the Ye Family. There was a subtle sense of the amazingness of fate in how this came about.

"Such a pity, after I saw the members of Han Family yesterday, many of them are not worthy to be cultivated. By helping too many of them, it will only bring about more troubles. They would be better off living their lives peacefully as normal people..."

As Fang Yuan reminisced the scenes, his eyes glistened.

...

Many days later.

Somewhere in Four Elements City.

The head of Sha Sect, Sha Lifei was holding an iron ball on each hand as he stared at the elder who came to visit. With a solemn expression, he asked, "You are?"

"I am Cheng Miao!"

Cheng Miao was donned in a white robe and had a celestial appearance.

The moment Sha Lifei heard his name, he was immediately taken aback and paid his respects, "So it's Mystic Jade Sect's head who came to visit personally, my apologies for the discourtesy!"

"Eh, you want to go against Han Family?"

Cheng Miao eyed Sha Lifei and his powerful might as a Wu Zong at the Meridian Opening Realm could be felt like a giant rock that smashed down.

"That's right... I guess you are also preparing to deal with him?"

Sha Lifei was secretly pleased with such but did not reveal it on his face. As the overlord who was determined to crush Han Family, how would he not know about any big matters that happened in Four Elements City? Sha Lifei obviously knew about the matter where Mystic Jade Sect's people were defeated by Han Family's people.

"Very good, let's begin earlier! You will visit them personally tomorrow and I want to see who was the one who dared to offend my Mystic Jade Sect?"

A furious expression flashed across Cheng Miao's face.

After all, Lan Feihong was his favourite disciple. Cheng Miao was enraged when he saw Lan Feihong returned with serious injuries with no clear reasons.

Sha Lifei was elated, with the lead of a Wu Zong at the Meridian Opening Realm, he was very confident and immediately reassured, "Please be assured, Sir! My people have already been spying on Han Family and we know that that person lives with Han Family. He had not gone out for many days which meant he must still be there!"

"Very good, I want to see who was the one who dared to offend us!"

Perhaps Cheng Miao stayed in this impoverished region for too long that he had already become too arrogant and conceited.

"Offend you? Who do you think you are?"

Suddenly, a youth's laughter could be heard from the door.

"Who's that?"

Sha Lifei and Cheng Miao were shocked. They immediately saw the shine of a knife slicing about as two disciples of Sha Sect shrieked in pain while the doors were smashed into pieces at once. The shadow of a man in black shirt wielding a knife slowly walked in.

"Eh? You are... Han Family's Han Jingfei?"

Sha Lifei's eyes twitched as he saw his two guards dying on the ground. "Why do you seem like a different person now?"

"Humph, the two of you are in cahoots to scheme against my family. Since you all have met me now, I will give you a taste of my strength!"

Han Jingfei brandished his knife and his menace was dominating.

However, inside his heart, he wanted to cry but could not, "Teacher Crazy Knife... don't play anymore!"

"Don't worry, just let go and do it! Think about it, even though your cultivation has not reached the realms of elemental force, you are about to kill two Wu Zongs today! Also, one of them is at the Meridian Opening Realm, your name would spread far and wide!" A soft voice rang inside his heart.

"I don't want this kind of fame at all!" Han Jingfei whined inside his heart.

"Eh, young man, you are so good in martial arts at such a young age, very good! I am looking highly of you, ok...."

Under Fang Yuan's taunt, Han Jingfei could not help but charge forward with his Demon Knife Technique which totally enveloped Sha Lifei and Cheng Miao.

"No way, there's something weird about this guy!"

Cheng Miao stepped back a few steps. As he felt the viciousness of the Demon Knife, his expression turned awry.

"I don't care if there's something weird, the two of us are both Wu Zongs, he would be a piece of cake!"

Sha Lifei roared and whipped out a long whip with spikes from his waist that moved like a python, "Boundless Yellow Sands!"

"Heaven and Earth Jade Quake!"

Cheng Miao nodded his head and clasped both his hands. He projected elemental energy and his hands turned into a squarish piece of white jade seal that smashed towards Han Jingfei.

"Two Wu Zongs fighting against me, I'm so dead! Save me, teacher!" Han Jingfei was scared soulless and screamed inside his heart.

"Hmm, look carefully!" Fang Yuan's thoughts replied and Han Jingfei immediately moved and struck out his long knife. The knife's light split and immediately formed a purgatory that welcomed the two Wu Zongs.

"Huu! Huuuu!"

Large amounts of elemental energy from the heavens and earth gathered and turned into a black shadow of a ghost that roared on the knife's body.

With one slice, the evil ghost descended and sought for blood!

"Elemental force? Aren't you..."

Under the light of the knife, Cheng Miao's horrified voice could be heard. Two streams of blood erupted at once.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two corpses smashed on to the floor. Han Jingfei stared at the long sword on his hand and still could not believe what just happened, "Two Wu Zongs just died like that? Why was it easier than killing two chicken?"
