Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

Chapter 144 - The Prestige Of Sword Cultivators



"Only good. Brat I think you have some problem with your head", Zhu Hao spoke as he couldn't stand the indifferent attitude of Zhan Chen. What was more unbearing for him was the fact that the beautiful lady Infront of him was not looking at him but at someone who had a much younger look than himself.

Zhan Chen threw an indifferent look towards Zhu Hao then ignored him altogether. He looked towards Kai Min who was walking towards him after testing her talent level.

"Miss, how about joining me in exploring this ancient ruin? With me here, no one dare mess with you in this ancient ruin", Zhu Hao interrupted Kai Min before she could leave the stone platform.

A displeased look appeared in the eyes of Kai Min after she was interrupted. She moved to his side and tried to go past Zhu Hao who was blocking her way.

"Miss, what is the hurry? Accompany me untill we leave this ancient ruin", Zhu Hao moved to his side and again blocked the path of Kai Min.

Zhan Chen frowned after seeing the attitude of Zhu Hao towards Kai Min. He didn't want to involve with the profligate heirs of powerful families but now he had no choice. He joined his two fingers and lightly slashed towards Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao suddenly shivered. All of his hairs stood up as an intense feeling of danger crept into his mind. He could feel that his life was in geopardy at this moment and the source of the danger was approaching from his back.

Zhu Hao didn't have time to think much. He hurriedly lean to a side as a vertical sword slash moved past his body. The sword slash slightly scratched his clothes and collided with a stone pillar nearby.

"Boom!", A sound came from the stone pillar and it drew everyone's eyes towards the stone pillar that stood behind Kai Min.

A drop of cold sweat dripped from the head of Nie Shan after he saw the three inch deep cut on the surface of the stone pillar. He threw a look at Zhu Hao and a feeling of pity rose in his heart.

The incident was too sudden that everyone took time to react. There was a stunned look in everyone's faces as they witnessed the sword slash crashing on the stone pillar.

"Sword ray!", a middle aged cultivator spoke in an absent minded voice. His voice was not that loud but it managed to reach almost everyone's ears.

All of the cultivators turned their gazes towards Zhan Chen who was standing there with a nonchalant expression on his face. "What a monster!", the gathered cultivators thought inside their minds after observing Zhan Chen and the three inch deep cut on the stone pillar.

'Sword ray', was not a strange term for the gathered cultivators. As long as one was slightly knowledgeable, he or she would have heard about sword cultivators. And one of the main requirement for the sword cultivator was to condense sword ray.

As long as one could manage to form a sword ray, he could stand out from the rest and could be counted as a elite cultivator. Sword cultivators had a unique prestige among the ordinary cultivators of the world because a sword cultivator could fight with many cultivators of same rank using his sword skills.

So, now that Zhan Chen had shown his sword skill, everyone was looking at him with awe. Kai Min also had a surprised expression on her face.

Zhan Chen felt amused after seeing the awestruck look on her face. He didn't know what would happen to her if she knew that her man was no ordinary sword cultivator but the youngest sword sage of the world.

Zhu Hao got up when everyone had their attention towards Zhan Chen. A vicious look appeared on his face after he heard the word 'sword ray'.

He looked towards his allied cultivators and all the members of his group understood the meaning behind his look. Three cultivators moved ahead and stabbed their swords towards Zhan Chen. It was so sudden that even the nearby cultivators couldn't see through their intention.

When those cultivators who were standing behind Zhan Chen thought that he was done for, Zhan Chen suddenly moved. No, it was not that he moved his entire body, but he moved only his left hand.

'Pu! Pu! Pu!', three sword slashes flew and left behind three bloodied figures in their path. The cultivators who had tried to sneak attack Zhan Chen tried to hold their chest but they couldn't stop the blood flow. Within few moments, three dead bodies slumped on the ground.

Zhan Chen turned his head this time. He scanned Zhu Hao and his allied cultivators with a cold look.

A chilling sensation crept to the heart of those cultivators who were supporting Zhu Hao. They were supporting Zhu Hao only because they wanted to climb the branches of the big tree named Zhu family. But how could a mere Zhu family would be more valuable than their own lives!

A cultivator suddenly took a step back. Zhu Hao glared at him but the cultivator had no intention to move forward. One action inspired many. This time it was no heroic action but even cowards also follow logic. One after another cultivator took a step back and suddenly Zhu Hao became alone.

His figure was like an abandoned king who had lost the favour of the heaven. "You guys!", Zhu Hao gritted his teeth. 

Then he looked towards Zhan Chen with a defiant look on his face. No matter what he Zhu Hao was a genius on his own. There was no need to lower his head infront of a younger cultivator.

Zhan Chen didn't feel anything and he had no care for the thoughts of a minor character like Zhu Hao. He swung his hand again and a sword ray zoomed towards Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao took out his sword and tried to parry the attack. But the attack of Zhan Chen cut his sword and landed on his body.

'Thud!', the body of Zhu Hao fell on the ground and a self proclaimed genius lost his life like this. A sorrowful look appeared on the face of Nie Shan as he witnessed the fall of Zhu Hao infront of him.

He and Zhu Hao always competed with eachother and their pride was so much that they even dare to defy those from Zheng family, Qian family, Lu family and Nigshuang family. But now Zhu Hao had already bitten dust.

A bitter taste appeared on the mouth of Nie Shan. He looked at Zhan Chen again and observed the heroic appearance of Zhan Chen. 

Zhan Chen had a plain look on his face but Nie Shan could feel the inborn pride of an heroic genius from Zhan Chen. It was like, no matter who you are, you will be crossed if you dare to block the path of myself.

Nie Shan observed Zhan Chen and his fighting spirit lit up once again. After losing the qualification to participate in the grand sect meet, he was feeling lost but now a determined look appeared in his eyes once again.

" Hello brother, I am Nie Shan. Can I ask your esteemed name?", Nie Shan looked towards Zhan Chen.
