56 That sword would be good in hands of Brother MING

After that the atmosphere changed completely, there were more interactions happening among the disciples. It didn't take long for them to adjust to everything. Jiang Chen led the way, there were only few martial artists among them. Other than Jiang Chen, couple from Ha family , one from Shangguan family another from Su family and couple from surrounding islands.

After the first fight they have started forming their own mixed groups to form diversity. There were few groups with over twenty members and few with half a dozen.

After that they met with couple more small group ambushed but they were repelled by the random groups formed.

Shangguan Chen "Brother Jiang, we believe we are prepared somewhat now. We understand somethings. "

Jiang Chen "What do you understand? What is happening or what you are lacking?"

Shangguan Chen "Brother Jiang , what we are lacking and what should be my target if I get into the sect."

Jiang Chen "Then it is pretty good. That resolves half the reason for the trip."

LingRou "Brother, what is the technique you are using to know what is happening far ahead of us?"

Jiang Chen "It is a complimentary technique given to me by Aunt Ming, they are called vision techniques or eye cultivation techniques. They are cross between martial techniques and cultivation techniques. These type of techniques enhance one particular body part and their functions."

Jiang Chen "My techniques is very suitable for me. It is called God's eye technique, which Aunt Ming found somewhere it some how suitable for me."

Ha Mo "Brother Jiang can we find them in sect?"

Jiang Chen "I guess we can find them there, but they are very tough to practice, they need special resources to cultivate every time."

Shangguan Chen "Are they only for eyes or other parts too?"

Jiang Chen "They are available for most parts and senses. But you can't cultivate more of that techniques. They are high consumption art, they will consume high attribute energy, so you have to be careful while practicing them."

LingRou "I guess everyone would like vision techniques in that case?"

Jiang Chen "Many like vision techniques, but they are also the ones rarely practiced, they are very tough to practice. Many prefer skin hardening many earth attribute wielders prefer it,but they are available in other attributes too."

Shangguan Chen "Brother what type of technique will suite me."

Jiang Chen "I can't say exactly, for wind attribute speed is specialty there is a technique which increases agility, there are also techniques for hearing and smell. They have skills related to vision , skin , hearing and smell. You should choose among them yourself."

All the Shangguan family members were in thoughts hearing this.

Jiang Chen "Then in water attribute. There is vision technique too but it is not as strong as others. Their main strength lies on reducing injuries and defense."

Jiang Chen "But don't underestimate this techniques they are real deal."

Jiang Chen "For earth attribute , defense , visions, skin are key type skills, There should be many I don't know off."

LingRou "Brother, does other families in big cities have such techniques."

Jiang Chen "They do but I doubt they are given that easily, I doubt even in Myriad Rivers Sect there shouldn't me more than couple of hundred or so. This number is actually pretty big by itself."

LingRou "Brother would you practice another such technique ?"

Jiang Chen "No. I already have what I need. It is suitable fro my combat style too."

Jiang Chen "Hmm. Interesting there are over hundred people ahead us.It isn't even third day and we are already facing a big group."

Everyone became alert listening to this.

Jiang Chen "I guess its finally time for me to be involved." Jiang Chen said smirking.

LingRou "How many are there brother?"

Jiang Chen "Over hundred people but dozen of them are martial artists, with highest among them being a 3rd grade martial artist , and couple second grade martial artists and rest are all first grade martial artists."

Listening to this, all the Martial Artist gathered around Jiang Chen.

"What should be our plan?"

Jiang Chen "You know your strengths and you already formed many plans now it is just a group event."

Immediately they changed their formations, all long ranged fighters shifted to rear end , there were few Shangguan family members and Su family members along with them to protect them. Other members shifted to front lines they will act as floaters, there were few specially skilled chosen as executors.

Jiang Chen smiled at their swiftness, they are really good bunch of people. Jiang Chen just continued moving forward, almost after ten minutes or do they reached the point.

By the time they reached there the road was already bloody, they killed few people already.

As Jiang Chen watched the surroundings and he could sense traces of lightning attribute there and few water attribute residue. He just smiled at it. Just then all the people waiting for them charged

forward blocking the path.

Ha families Martial Artist was first to respond as they have pre arranged.

Ha Ming "Who are you people? why are you blocking our path?"

Jiang Chen saw that all the twelve martial artists were scattered , the third stage martial artist was in the front and other two 2nd grade martial artists were in wings with rest of them placing themselves hidden. They have done their best to hide their cultivation levels. But Pity they have Jiang Chen watching them with his Heavenly God's eye technique.

Then the strongest member of the group who was sitting on a Vulcan Lion responded.

"We just want your energy orbs. if you give them obediently we will let you leave here alive."

Jiang Chen "If we don't agree?" Jiang Chen already understood who this group belong to. They are from Han family of River Moon city.

One of the Martial artists responded "Brother Chu, I told you right they will not listen that easily?"

This person is exactly the Han Chu that Han family sent to meet Jiang Chen. No one recognized Jiang Chen, as no one among them ever saw him and they are not expecting Jiang Chen to take the test at all.

Han Chu "Show them our souvenirs. That should persuade them better." Then immediately they threw heads of the fallen people killed by them.

Jiang Chen was sure now that the people who were killed are NING family members. He just chuckled.

Han Chu "This is what happened to the Ning family members who crossed our paths."

Jiang Chen "I am not persuaded by this, also there were only thirty Ning family members , we are over hundred. We are evenly matched. We can easily take care of you three martial artists." Jiang Chen said as he unsheathed his sword and there was a layer of fire covering it.

People from River Spring city were puzzled, Jiang Chen told them there were 12 Martial artists and now he is saying three .

Han Chu "So, it is where you confidence comes from. " He then signaled with his hand and other 9 martial artists came out.

Jiang Chen acting as surprised "You are twelve in numbers."

Han Chu was smirking seeing this. "You believe us now, we can take care of all of you as easily as swatting flies. It is already merciful of us that we are letting you go back alive."

Han Chu said smirking.

One of the Hench men then spoke.

"All of you can leave this place alive after leaving your energy orbs and for you you have to leave that sword too."

Han Chu "Correct , such a good sword with fire attribute, it is not fit for looser like you. It would be perfect for our elder brother Ming."

Jiang Chen "So you are from Han family then. My guess is correct then." he said smirking.

Seeing this others felt a ting of coldness in their hearts.

Jiang Chen "You want to gift my sword to your brother. Its fine to touch it once but no one can make me part with it."

Jiang Chen got down from his horse and started walking forward.

Jiang Chen "You can try your luck."

Just as Jiang Chen said that , he swiftly moved toward the person who first mentioned about his sword and he was cleaved across his chest and his body split into two.

Seeing this everyone were terrified, even people from River Spring City were scared at this. It happened very fast.

Jiang Chen "Do you still want to gift it too some Ming there."

Han Chu "How presumptuous? You killed a genius from Han family."

Jiang Chen "So, it is Han family then? Do you know a dog named Han Chu there in that family. I heard he waited at my door steps for three days and shooed out by my maid."

When he heard that Han Chu didn't know how to react. Jiang Chen just called him a dog.

Han Chu "Jiang Chen?"

Jiang Chen "Well that is what I am called frequently. I prefer brother Jiang more."

Han Chu can't draw back now, he has provoked Jiang Chen already. So there is no way back now.

Han Chu "I heard you were in closed door cultivation for a month preparing for the trial , let me see what improvement a Mid Mortal cultivation genius made."

Jiang Chen "Sure. Come then?"

Immediately Han Chu moved forward without a hint and started an attack on Jiang Chen but his death happened as swiftly as he came he was cleaved in half too.

Seeing this other Han family members terrified.

Jiang Chen "What are you guys waiting for , attack them leave no one alive, take their belongings and birn their bodies alive.
