Chapter 7: There is Someone in the Sky!

It was hard enough to get a powerful skill, but this cooldown time is truly infuriating.

He had wanted to rely on singing to subdue underlings and dominate the Immortal World from then on.

As it turned out, his hopes were dashed before he had even begun.

"System, how is this cooldown time calculated? Why is it so long?"

Yan Xiao asked, unwilling to accept it.

"Owner, the cooldown time of the Demon King's Movement is determined by your strength and the grade of the Magic Sword. The higher the grade of the Magic Sword, or the stronger your cultivation, the shorter the skill's cooldown time," the System replied.

"I see." Yan Xiao nodded; it seemed the main reason was that he was simply too weak.

It made sense; he currently only had one manual, the 【Red Flame Triple Slash】, and not even a mental cultivation method.

His realm was also raised by popping pills; if he didn't have the Magic Sword, it was uncertain whether he could even defeat a Level 1 Lower Grade Phantom Demon.

Only then did Yan Xiao realize that he was a complete novice at cultivation; if he wanted to become strong, just popping pills definitely wouldn't work.

Every medicine has its side effects; taking too many would cause issues. Wasn't that how it was always written in the novels of his past life?

"It seems I still need to exchange for a mental cultivation method," Yan Xiao thought to himself.

"Brother, what are you thinking about? Can I subdue the Cat Demon? If we are any slower, it will die," Qingxue's voice came, interrupting his train of thought.

"Of course, hurry up and subdue it."

Yan Xiao nodded hurriedly; this was a Phantom Demon he had only managed to handle with the ten-fold boost of the Demon King's Movement, so it would be a waste if it died.

The little girl gently tapped her small hand on the Cat Demon's forehead, and a black mark was branded deep into its soul.

The mark was small, an ancient rune; Yan Xiao couldn't understand it and didn't pay it much mind.

Yet, this tiny rune was enough to control the life and death of the Cat Demon; it was extremely overbearing.

"Alright, you have to be a good boy and listen to me, okay?" The little girl giggled, stroked the big cat, and revealed a cute smile.

After returning the Cat Demon's soul to its body, the Cat Demon slowly opened its eyes, but it remained extremely weak.

When it met Yan Xiao's gaze, it appeared very fearful, clearly having been scared quite badly.

"I am a... swordsman!"

Yan Xiao looked at the Cat Demon and said, raising an eyebrow.

Fear Value from the Cat Demon +1.

Only one point?

Yan Xiao was filled with regret.

Its Fear Value had already reached the limit and could no longer provide more Fear Value for Yan Xiao.

If only there were no limit, he could sing for the Cat Demon whenever he was bored in the future.

Do you believe he could completely rely on bullying a cat to ascend to immortality?

"Brother, stop scaring it. It said it was injured by a Gouxiong Huan Yao and its body is very weak. It won't be good if it gets scared to death by you."

The little girl hugged the black cat in her arms and said reproachfully.

"It deserves it... I told it long ago that I have a handsome, dashing, romantic, universally loved, and invincible Master. It just wouldn't believe me. If it doesn't suffer a little, it won't be obedient, right Master..."

Wang Dazhu immediately ran behind Yan Xiao and helped him pound his back, his face full of flattery.

Hearing the honest truth from his disciple and seeing his bruised and swollen appearance, Yan Xiao felt a pang of heartache.

"Disciple, here is a copper coin. Go to town and buy some medicine to rub on yourself; it would be bad if you developed some incurable disease."

Yan Xiao fumbled in his chest for a long time, took out a deformed copper coin, and handed it to Wang Dazhu with reluctance.

"Master, I don't need treatment. These minor injuries of mine will be fine after a sleep. You should teach me a few powerful sword techniques instead.

Forget about the ultimate skill of singing to hurt people; I'm not very good at singing, though I can hurt people with my words."

Wang Dazhu looked at the deformed copper coin and felt grateful.

Yan Xiao put the money away, thought for a moment, and said, "As the Chief Disciple of the Mountain-Opening Hero Invincible Sect, didn't your former Master teach you anything?"

"He did. My former Master passed down the peerless blade technique 【Head-Splitting Blade Divine Art】, but I don't feel it's very powerful," Wang Dazhu said with a bitter smile.

"Hmm... is that the blade strike you use when you crouch in the grass to ambush people?" Yan Xiao asked in confusion.

"Yes," Wang Dazhu nodded.

... Yan Xiao was speechless. That is a god-tier skill, you know?

"Dazhu, don't underestimate its power. Your blade technique is actually very good; it's just that your blade is a bit lacking. You must believe in yourself."

Yan Xiao encouraged him, thinking to himself that if he shouted "Demacia" loudly before attacking,

it would be even more powerful.

"Is that so? I also think my blade is too lousy; my blade technique is actually quite good."

Wang Dazhu scratched his head, looking quite pleased with himself.

Yan Xiao gave an awkward smile; he had finally managed to bluff his way through.

He didn't know a damn thing about sword techniques; he hadn't even mastered the Red Flame Triple Slash, so how could he teach his disciple?

For the sake of his dignity as a Master, he had to work hard.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to hear Wang Dazhu's flattery in the future, and that would be uncomfortable...

"Senior Sister, it's just a couple of frogs in a well flattering each other; it's truly nauseating. Let's go."

Suddenly, a cold voice came, the tone full of disdain and mockery.

"What kind of rat is that? If you have the guts, come out and speak."

To be mocked in front of his disciple and the little girl, Yan Xiao couldn't save face.

He looked around, but saw no one.

He couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "If they don't even dare to show their face, their strength must not be high."

"A clown jumping on a beam." Seeing Yan Xiao looking around, the person couldn't help but show contempt.

"Pfft~"

Junior Martial Sister Qianyue Fairy was amused by Yan Xiao's actions.

In fact, when Yan Xiao was bluffing his first disciple, the little girl Qianyue had almost been unable to hold back her laughter.

At this moment, seeing Yan Xiao's dazed expression, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hm?

It was a woman's laughter.

And it sounded very pleasant.

Yan Xiao looked around again; there was no one there?

"Qingxue, do you see anyone?" Yan Xiao asked.

The little girl shook her head.

Within her field of vision, nothing unusual had appeared.

"Master..."

Wang Dazhu tugged on Yan Xiao's sleeve and gave him a wink.

"What is it?" Yan Xiao said, displeased.

"In the sky!" Wang Dazhu pointed upward, his face full of panic.

Yan Xiao was puzzled and looked up at the sky.

Damn it!

Standing in the sky above them were five people, and judging by their appearance, they had been there for a long time.

The key issue was that they could fly... they could actually fly!

What kind of strength was required to achieve this?

One had to at least succeed in Foundation Establishment to fly on a sword, right?

Yan Xiao stared at the group in a daze, unable to think of anything to say for a moment.

Qianyue Fairy was dressed in a cyan gown.

Yan Xiao's angle was pointed right at her.

Although he couldn't see anything, being stared at like that by Yan Xiao was truly embarrassing.

"Disgusting..." Qianyue Fairy's little face flushed red, and she flew her sword to a different position, hiding behind the tall woman.

"Audacious lecher, to actually profane my Junior Martial Sister, are you seeking death?"

The handsome man in the lead was furious, and a wave of pressure swept toward them, pressing down on Yan Xiao until he couldn't catch his breath.

Yan Xiao was stunned and cursed inwardly, "What the hell are you looking at? It's not like the little fairy isn't wearing pants!"

With the clothing in this world, no matter how high they flew or how strong the wind was, one still couldn't see anything...

However, since this pretty boy had asked a question, he naturally had to answer, otherwise it would seem like they had no manners.

He endured the pressure and chuckled, "Dazhu, what did you see?"

"I saw... I saw... a beautiful fairy, so beautiful she's bubbling over."

Wang Dazhu thought for a long time, not knowing how to answer.

He had been staring at the large swords beneath the group's feet, feeling envious in his heart.

If he had such a large sword to perform his peerless blade technique... what would the power be like?

He was obsessed with strength and, in truth, had no interest in beautiful women.

Upon hearing this, Qianyue Fairy couldn't help but be amused, her face full of shy smiles.

The tall woman also revealed a trace of a smile.

Seeing this, the handsome man was overcome with jealousy, and a massive pressure suddenly erupted, slamming downward.

Yan Xiao's knees buckled, and he nearly fell to his knees.

The little girl behind him, however, could not withstand this pressure and spat out a mouthful of blood with a cry.

With this, the little girl had suffered a serious injury!
