A sense of surprise was clearly visible on Ruan Zhao Sheng's face. He so wondered about how high Chu Kai really was. His initial meeting with this young man... Chu Kai's practice was clearly unreadable.
For Ruan Zhao Sheng, there were only two reasons he could not read one's practice. Either because the subject's ability is so low or even higher than him.
The problem was, Chu Kai had a different case. This young man with natural green eyes looks to have average energy like ordinary people in general. Even if noticed from the sword technique, Chu Kai was clearly still a beginner-but out of nowhere this subject could have such terrifying hidden strength.
"Broker Ruan," Chu Kai opened his voice. "I'll be honest with you. It was very difficult for me to get through the traps that were in front, especially when they were difficult to detect. I don't have the ability, especially if I have to protect you."
"Can Chu Swordsman not use the Body Lightening Technique?"
Chu Kai blinked. He thought of Ruan Zhao Sheng's question and then replied, "I learned but am still not an expert at it."
"Yeah, I know. If Swordsman Chu can, then you've been using it since." Ruan Zhao Sheng sighed and then started to look forward.
While breathing slowly, Ruan Zhao Sheng opened his voice. "Broker Chu, if you believe me.. Then listen to this."
Chu Kai frowned, the man he was currently carrying on his back started to give directions. Ruan Zhao Sheng explained about the basic breathing technique of the cultivator and how to make him able to use the body lightening technique.
Despite enduring the pain, Ruan Zhao Sheng still tried to teach Chu Kai. Although it was only a theory, but what he explained could be well understood by Chu Kai.
Ruan Zhao Sheng asked Chu Kai to slowly take a breath, then focus on feeling each circulation of blood. He reminded that Chu Kai should calm down, as much as possible just think about the meridian points and nothing else.
The manner of Ruan Zhao Sheng's guidance was different from what Chu Kai had learned from Wei Zhang Zihan and Xia Ling Qing. You could say, this man was so detailed explaining the basic technique to her. It was completely different from the attitude of the two Sacred Swordsmen of the Wushi Mountain Sect.
"Start directing the energy in your body to the soles of your feet. Swordsman Chu should be able to focus and while feeling the energy center in the soles of the feet-Broker Chu can give a slight lure with movements like wanting to jump."
Chu Kai breathed slowly, "I'll start."
!!
By following Ruan Zhao Sheng's direction, Chu Kai actually jumped up and without warning his body floated just like that in midair. Chu Kai was surprised not to play while watching the land he was treading before now became a bit far away.
"I really did, this.... That's amazing!"
Ruan Zhao Sheng himself held onto Chu Kai, "I praise you Swordsman Chu. Only once given direction, you can do it right. You're talented,"
The technique of relieving the body actually has a special level. Chu Kai was currently only at the most basic level because it still needed a foothold like a tree branch before it shot back up. However, Ruan Zhao Sheng still gave him praise.
On the other hand, Chu Kai was grateful and of course happy for getting the praise. But honestly in his heart he felt guilty because he was not as talented as Ruan Zhao Sheng said.
For a body lightening technique like this, Chu Kai had already trained hard under Wei Zhang Zihan's direction. And to him Ruan Zhao Sheng's explanation was a refinement of the direction Wei Zhang Zihan had taught him all along.
Chu Kai's feet rested on one of the tree branches. He also opened his voice, "Is Pendekar Ruan okay?"
"Mn, just watch your step. Be careful on the few tree branches in front of you," Ruan Zhao Sheng said. "Traps are not only on the ground, but also on the top. You should always be on your guard."
Chu Kai nodded slowly, Ruan Zhao Sheng's words were correct. Although this was only a trap set by Wei Zhang Zihan and would not finish him off, he still could not let his guard down.
"Hold on tight, Swordsman Ruan. I will try to get us to leave this place as quickly as possible," Chu Kai opened his voice and then sped up. He had already started to get used to using body lightening techniques.
The distance between the forest that Chu Kai and Ruan Zhao Sheng were in was not too far away from the gates of Bian Xi City. When he saw the city gate before him, Chu Kai was delighted to finally arrive at the place where Xia Ling Qing and Wei Zhang Zihan were waiting.
Bian Xi City was crowded by the residents. Even as Chu Kai stepped into the gate... He was immediately greeted with many people passing by. There was a horse-drawn carriage carrying some beautifully dressed people, at first glance they looked like the people from among the rich merchants.
Chu Kai was amazed by the sheer number of tall buildings, completely different from what he had once seen. Chu Kai even opened his voice, "A lot has changed from the Bian Xi City I've been to."
Ruan Zhao Sheng raised next to his brows, "Broker Chu has been to this place before?"
"Mn, when I was about 12. I came here with my father. This place was not as crowded as it is now, really has changed a lot."
Chu Kai lowered his gaze, he was just about to return to talk when he suddenly heard a commotion. He watched some people running, one of whom was a man dressed in green and appeared to hit the fruit table while calling his partner.
"Hey, hey..! Hear this. Ling Yun's inn was infiltrated by a demon. Right now people are chasing him and you know? The demon had the help of the swordsman of the Wushi Mountain Sect to escape,"
!!
"W-what?! How did that happen?! It might not be a demon,"
"I can't believe I saw it for myself. There was a commotion at Ling Yun Inn and someone fell down from the second floor. The figure has ears like those of animals, what else if not demons?"
"And you know," the green-clothed man again said, "The smile has taken two men and is being chased by the people... Someone suddenly came and helped him. The man's clothes clearly belonged to the Wushi Mountain Sect and what surprised him even more was... The one who helped the demon was Sacred Swordsman Wei Zhang Zihan."
!!!
Chu Kai immediately looked towards the man when he heard Wei Zhang Zihan's name called. Not to mention, the people he saw were also shocked before finally talking about Mount Wushi and the warriors who lived there.
"Does the Wushi Mountain Sect have any relation to demons?!"
"If so, isn't this bad?"
"What are they talking about?" Chu Kai became offended. These people were talking so recklessly about Wei Zhang Zihan and also the Wushi Mountain Sect.
Chu Kai was just about to crash into those people he saw when Ruan Zhao Sheng opened his voice. The swordsman of the Tianzhi Sect stopped Chu Kai and said that it was best for them to hurry to look for Wei Zhang Zihan's whereabouts, especially if paying attention to the existing situation-Wei Zhang Zihan might need some help.
Chu Kai followed the directions of Ruan Zhao Sheng. Because his clothes were not like the uniform of the Wushi Mountain Sect, Chu Kai was not too concerned. He was asked to walk in a slightly quiet hallway.
"Why are we passing through this place?" Chu Kai asked, he did not know where Ruan Zhao Sheng was going to direct him.
"The place that was just too crowded, Swordsman Chu would often hear such talk that would likely make Swordsman Chu unable to control emotions."
"I am not that kind of person," Chu Kao opened his voice. "I just don't like it if they talk bad things about Swordsman Wei and the Wushi Mountain Sect. Indeed what's wrong if Swordsman Wei helps demons, isn't there a reason?"
"Serious Swordsman Chu said that?" Ruan Zhao Sheng said. "Silumans are creatures that are very hostile to humans, they are just like demonic beasts. And just for information, demons love to eat humans."
!!
"I don't know either," Ruan Zhao Sheng grimaced. He had long since endured the pain in his body and was not complaining at all, but it seemed like this was already at the limit of his own ability.
"Broker Chu, it would be much better if you immediately looked for your comrade..."
?!
"Ruan Hero?" Chu Kai felt Ruan Zhao Sheng's hand go down and as if it was powerless. He called out to the man in his carrier and gasped when he learned that Ruan Zhao Sheng was unconscious.
"He obviously had an internal injury, but still..." Chu Kai took a breath and then shook his head slowly. He had indeed misjudged Ruan Zhao Sheng before.
Chu Kai continued walking down this small path. He focused his hearing and tried to find Wei Zhang Zihan's voice.
"Are you awake?"
!!
Chu Kai widened his eyes. He heard Wei Zhang Zihan's voice and rushed to find the origin of the voice. It didn't take long until he was in an environment so rarely visited by people.
"Sound Swordsman Wei is around here..? I'm sure as hell,"
"Find it there! That demon couldn't have gone far."
"They must be around here, quick find..!"
?!

The black-hooded boy slowly began to open his eyes. He could see the light coming through from the hollow roof. Someone's voice jolted him and he immediately woke up.
!!
The teenage boy was surprised to see a man dressed in light blue and sitting cross-legged. A figure that looked so calm and with a dignified aura.
"Are you going to try running again?" Wei Zhang Zihan opens his voice as the teenage boy he previously rescued intends to escape.
Wei Zhang Zihan's words made the black-clad child startled. He was still sitting in his place and calmly said, "There are still people out there chasing you. But you can leave if you're safer outside than with me,"
!!
The boy noticed the man who was talking to him. He gulped and would only open a sound when a strange sound came out from inside his stomach. The voice that came at the wrong time made the boy bow his head.
Wei Zhang Zihan blinked, and he took out something from the pocket of his clothes. It was a type of dry bread food that was familiar in the lives of warriors.
The bread has a taste that is tasteless and rather hard because it is made so that it can last longer. This was a food that was never absent brought whether it was the holy warriors of the Wushi Mountain Sect, as well as those in other sects.
This kind of food was actually completely disliked by any swordsman, Wei Zhang Zihan was also the same. But for people who are very hungry, they will not think about many things.
The boy assisted by Wei Zhang Zihan appeared to approach when he saw the loaf of bread in the hands of the young blue-clothed man. The teenager took the bread in Wei Zhang Zihan's hand and then started eating it.
Wei Zhang Zihan noticed the way this child ate and saw that the teenager before him was eating so voraciously. It felt as if this little subject was extremely starving.
"................" Wei Zhang Zihan blinked. He said nothing because he felt he should not bother this teenager first.
Wei Zhang Zihan's intention was indeed like that, it was just unexpected that the boisterous sound that was outside was getting clearer and as if it was already in the vicinity of the temple.
"Stay here," Wei Zhang Zihan breathed softly and then stood up. He walked towards the temple door and simultaneously a kick came and made the previously closed door open wide.
!!!
Wei Zhang Zihan spontaneously drew his sword and was about to be cut off when he found out who had kicked the temple door in front of him. He suddenly froze.
The figure that Wei Zhang Zihan saw was none other than Chu Kai. He had not expected that Chu Kai would be able to get to this place where he was now inside an old temple.
"How are you-"
"Defender Wei, please take care of Swordsman Ruan first. I'll be right back," Chu Kai let Ruan Zhao Sheng down and gave Wei Zhang Zihan the responsibility of guarding. He did not even let the young man dressed in light blue before him speak.
Not only that, Chu Kai even without warning instead took the sword in Wei Zhang Zihan's hand while saying that he would borrow it for a while. Of course this was shocking and even made Wei Zhang Zihan not know what to say.
On the other hand, Chu Kai himself directly rushed out of the temple and it did not take long until a clash of swords sounded. Wei Zhang Zihan also wanted to go to see her, but he currently had to guard two people.
!!
The loud voice sounded again. Chu Kai was currently fighting, he was fighting the warrior who was aiming for Wei Zhang Zihan's life and the fight was very fierce.
"Y..!" Wei Zhang Zihan widened his eyes, "Is he seriously fighting?!"
!!
Wei Zhang Zihan brought and then laid down a man that Chu Kai had previously entrusted to him. Wei Zhang Zihan looked at the black-clad boy and asked him not to leave and to take care of this unfamiliar subject.
Wei Zhang Zihan then went to look at Chu Kai's actions and it was true that the young man was exchanging attacks with the warriors out there. He was shocked when he saw how Chu Kai used his immortal sword to slash through a part of one's body.
