Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 118 A Night Visitor
It was already late at night when they finished burning the paper money. Yang Xun had drunk some wine and was feeling very sleepy. He yawned and went back to his room to sleep.

Yang Qian was the only one in the family who was still energetic. He planned to finish today's homework and then take a nap.

Since becoming a congenital being, Yang Qian found that he needed less and less sleep. In the past, he couldn't wake up without sleeping for three or four hours, but now he only needs to take a nap for a while, and one or two hours is enough.

However, although Yang Qian's practice with his eyes closed went smoothly today, he always felt as if someone was watching him. Although he didn't sense any malice, it still felt awkward.

After a few times, Yang Qian had to open his eyes and think about readjusting himself, and decided to go to the yard to practice.

But when Yang Qian opened his eyes again, he found a middle-aged man in a robe standing in his study, looking at him with a smile.

The incident happened suddenly. If the man's robe was not of the style and texture of the Five Thunder Palace, Yang Qian would have drawn his sword and chopped him down.

And, the most important thing is, this person had already entered the room, so why didn’t we notice anything at all?
If he hadn't still vaguely sensed it in his heart, Yang Qian might have had to wait for the other party to greet him before he knew someone had entered the house.

This shows that the opponent's strength is no longer something Yang Qian can guess at the moment.

Looking at the patterns on the man's robe and the style of the jade pendant on his waist, Yang Qian quickly stood up and bowed deeply.

"Yang Qian, a registered disciple of the outer sect, greets the real master!"

A true person is one who understands the true meaning of heaven and earth.

It is a definition of cultivation, and also a statement of strength and status. Anyway, as far as Yang Qian knows, only the elder-level cultivators in the Five Thunder Palace are worthy of the title of "True Man".

And the person in front of him is a real person from the Five Thunder Palace.

"Hehe, little kid, do you know who I am?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

"My name is Xu Xiushan, and I am the fourth among the elders in the sect."

"My eyesight is poor, please forgive me, Fourth Elder!" Yang Qian bowed again and apologized. His mind suddenly lit up, remembering that the bandits he had captured when he killed the two owl monsters had said that the big monster from Black Mountain was held back by Xu Zhenren from the Five Thunder Palace.

It should be the one in front of you.

But why did this big guy come here to see him so late at night? Yang Qian was a little curious.

"Little kid, you have figured out every step clearly. You went through so much trouble before, but now you have come back with multiple identities after a trip to the Five Thunder Palace. Do you think you can rest easy now?"

"I dare not! I have only one life left, I just want to survive, please save me, Fourth Elder!" Yang Qian was very honest. A real person could get close to him silently, and the big demon was probably about the same strength, how could he rest easy?
Now that he had an identity, it was reasonable for him to ask for help. It was probably because of this that Xu Xiushan came here.

"You are honest."

After a pause, Xu Xiushan found a chair and sat down, smiling, "The demon cultivators in Black Mountain are actually quite well behaved. Many years ago, they had a dispute with the Immortal Alliance, and our Five Thunder Palace was ordered to suppress it. After more than a year of fierce fighting, we finally suppressed the Black Mountain Demon King and made it dare not leave the Demon Mountain easily.

I didn't expect that a big demon would be sent this time, and it was to take the life of you, a little kid who wasn't even a monk at the time. By the way, they want to take your soul back, and I guess they are going to torture you.

In fact, this situation is usually a dead end for you.

The Sky-Scanning Eye can only detect big demons and demon king-level demon cultivators, but cannot detect others. So even if I can see the big demon, it will still send the little demon to find you.

But I didn't expect that not only was you fine, but you also killed all the demon cultivators who came to take your life, and then suddenly became a registered disciple of our Five Thunder Palace.

Tsk tsk, you have extraordinary abilities. Tell me, how did you manage to kill two demon cultivators? They were owl demons, and their speed was so fast that even ordinary cultivators, let alone warriors, might not be able to stop them.

How do you survive?"

Yang Qian now understood the other party's intention. He was curious about how he not only survived, but also killed two demon cultivators.

If it were before, Yang Qian would be sweating profusely. After all, the fact that he was in the innate realm seemed unavoidable.

But now it was different. After Yang Qian's trip to the Five Thunder Palace, he gained a lot, and he had an excuse to explain his ability to slay demons.

"In reply to the Fourth Elder, I am also lucky and have realized a special method."

"Huh? Special tricks? Show me how to do it." Xu Xiushan laughed heartily, thinking that the kid in front of him was really interesting. He wanted to see what tricks could allow a warrior to kill two powerful demon cultivators in a row.

Yang Qian was not polite either. At this time, polite words would only arouse suspicion.

So Yang Qian apologized, picked up his oxtail knife from the side, pulled it out and looked around, as if looking for something to chop.

"No need to bother, just use your own methods on me." Xu Xiushan waved his hands. He also wanted to feel it for himself. He didn't think that Yang Qian had any possibility of hurting him.

"That disciple is offended."

"Well, try your best and let me see what you have in store."

Yang Qian was secretly excited.

To be honest, he himself didn't know how much damage his full-strength sword could do. Killing is not like chopping stones, which requires feedback. Chopping stones can't show the real effect.

And with a powerful real person in front of you, is there any better person in the world to test your sword? Absolutely not!
So Yang Qian nodded and began to mobilize his breath with the knife.

The innate true energy began to surge wildly, and so did the spiritual energy in the body. This scene alone was enough to make Xu Xiushan, who had originally looked relaxed, quickly lose his faint smile.

What's going on?! Is this the true qi of a warrior?

And what does that surging spiritual energy mean? Didn't this kid just register as an outer sect disciple? How come he looks like someone who has practiced hard for many years? !

It was only then that Xu Xiushan realized that the cultivation level of Yang Qian, which seemed ambiguous to him, was not vague because Yang Qian was a half-baked person, but for another reason!

Then, Xu Xiushan discovered that the oxtail knife in Yang Qian's hand began to glow with light that flickered.

Is this the sword energy? No! It's the sword light!
This discovery made Xu Xiushan add two more layers of protection on himself.

"Fourth Elder, I am sorry for my sin!"

It took Yang Qian only three breaths to gather his energy. After apologizing, he raised his hand and chopped down Xu Xiushan, who was only a few feet in front of him, with a vertical chop!
"The blade light is indeed solid enough, but huh? What is this? Not good!" Xu Xiushan had just come to a conclusion in his mind, but before he could finish his thought, the moment the blade light touched the barrier he had set up, a sharp aura far beyond his expectations rushed towards him!

It broke through one, two, and three layers of barriers! It even remained unabated!

This is the sword's will! It is the rule power of the will of heaven and earth!

How could a mere mortal have such means? !

With a sizzling sound, the blade light dissipated and was completely caught. However, a three-inch long wound appeared on Xu Xiushan's chest.
