Chapter 1 : Jian Zheng

"Zheng'er" A little boy eyes quivers slightly as he tries to open his eyes. When he finally opened his eyes fully he saw a woman staring at him with a loving gaze.

The woman looks were stunning to the point that it could even topple worlds and her eyes resembled a phoenix that seem to be able to stop a person from breathing the moment she looks at them.

Next to the woman was a man who wore black robes and whose eyes were as sharp as an sword. His face wasn't exactly handsome but just the aura coming from him would make people want to kneel in revere and respect.

"Zheng'er I'm sorry. The emotions im feeling almost resemble a blade stabbing in my heart. I'm truly sorry." The woman began crying. The tears coming from her eyes weren't clear like water but instead it was orange like lava, red as burning flames.

"Fengfeng.." The man couldn't bear to see the woman crying. He looked like he wanted to say some encouraging words but stopped, only patting her back in comfort.

When the woman stopped crying the man turned to the boy, starting at him with his sharp eyes that made him shiver making him feel like he was being stabbed by multiply swords. When the man saw sweat dripping down the boys face his eyes turned a bit warmer and the boy let out a huge breath of relief.

"Today is the day you turn ten years old. It should have been a special occasion but..." The man was smiling at the boy but when he paused in his speech killing intent soared out of his body but quickly vanished without a trace.

The boy didn't sense the killing intent but for a split second the surrounding space was trembling as if afraid.

"I want you to remember that you are a swordsman. During these lonely five years I want you to never cultivate. Once you turn fifteen your cultivation will soar at a quick rate. No one at that point should ever be able to bully you." When the space stopped trembling the man spoke again.

"And remember to take care of yourself! Don't forget to eat so you can grow healthy and to bath so girls don't call you stink!" The woman sniffed softly as she wiped her eyes and then gentle touched the boys face with a smile. "Also if you truly ever feel lonely then you can find yourself a wife. It doesn't matter how many you find we will welcome them all." The woman then kissed the boys forehead as an formation envelop the boys body.

Boom! Just at that moment an explosion occurred and hundreds of men in white robes appeared in the sky, "Don't let the boy escape!" Seeing that the boy figure was slowly disappearing one of the men face turned ugly as he shouted, rushing at lightning speed towards him.

"Stop him!" One of the men stretched out his hand at the boy. He was a thousand meters away but his hand reached the boy in just a second.

"You dare!" The man in black robes shouted as his robes flutter in the wind and a burst of anger and killing intent spread out of his body. A sword appeared in his hand that was filled with murderous aura. When the sword appeared the men in white robes became apprehensive as they didn't dare to approach that sword.

But the man whose hands was an inch away from the boy face became pale. He tried retracting his hand but when he did so his hand was cleanly cut off.

"Ahhh!!!" No one saw how his hand was cut off but the moment it did the man entire body became infected with a black miasma that caused his body to rot at a quick rate.

"Save me!!!" The man cried out afraid of the upcoming death he was facing, "Help-" When he called out again his whole body had already rot away. Not even his bones were left which caused the ones who saw this to back away in fright.

Unfortunately, for the people who didn't immediately back away they suffered the same fate as the man. Their eyes started burning out and their organs started melting away before they die.

Some tried to take out life saving pills but the moment they popped them into their mouths they exploded like balloons.

"..."

The entire plaza was dead silent. They knew that the man in black robes was a dangerous existance but they never thought that he could kill dozens of people in an instant. They found it unbelievable and had no idea on what to do now.

They all looked at each other with eyes that didn't know what to do.

"Should we attack?" One of the white robe man asked.

"Are you crazy? The Devil's Swordsman was able to kill an true expert two years ago with one hundred attacks but now... I don't know what fortunate encounter he found but right now he's someone we cannot compare ourselves to." An gray-haired man spoke in an ancient tone. There was no fear in his eyes instead there was only playful smile on his face. It was as if he came to watch a show, a funny one at that.

"Haha! Little Devil who would have thought you would become so strong!" Just when they didn't know what to do a booming voice entered everyone ears.

The man in black robes expression changed as a man in azure clothes came into the building. He wore a smile on his face as he ignored everyone in the building, only focusing his attention on the woman whose eyes held immense anger. It was as if a furious phoenix was about to descend to incinerate everything and everyone.

Although he called out to the man in black robes it was only an acknowledgment of strength.

"Princess Mei you are still as beautiful as when you were young." The man began walking towards the woman completely ignoring the killing intent focused on him and him alone.

"Don't approach me!" The woman shouted as a mark on her forehead lit up that made her blazing red hair dance in the air. At any moment it truly felt like a phoenix was about to descend onto the world.

"Haha! You still have that same old temper." Ignoring her anger and the killing intent focusing on him he reached the woman and reached out his hand to touch her face, "Who made you cry? Tell me and ill bring you their head right away-" He said in a warm and soft voice but just when he was about to touch her face his expression change as he vanished and reappear a few steps away from her.

"Little Devil were you just about to attack me?" Still smiling he curved his eyes into slits making him look extremely cunning.

"Martial King do you think I'm still afraid of you!" The man shouted as hundreds of swords began hovering behind the man's back. The swords contain a strange power that made the boy curious.

"That power... its enough to rival the ten kings!" The gray-haired man exclaimed in surprise.

"Haha! A Sword King has finally been born!" A swordsman in the crowd laughed with pleasure. He looked at the hundred swords that circle around the man back then smiled as he vanished leaving the place.

The people who heard this also felt shocked. To cultivate ones strength to the level of a king is something these people could only dream of.

When the boy saw these swords hovering behind the man's back his curiousity was ping to the brim.

The boy got up and touched one of the swords and a strange phenomenon occurred that made everyones face change.

A giant sword appeared in the sky that brought out massive amount of sword aura. At that moment multiply spiritual beings opened up portals with excited faces as they quickly flew towards the boy.

When the people of the world saw this phenomenon they exclaimed in wonder. Wondering what kind of genius could cause such an event to occur.

For a giant sword to appear out of no where to even cause the spirits of the ten thousand worlds to appear could only mean one thing and one thing only and that is a rare genius was about to be born!

The spirits were like in a race, a race to see who will finish first and get the reward. This made many people to start to panick especially the azure robe man.

"Little Devil I never would have thought you would be able to make an even smaller devil." The man face became extremely unsightly.

He then vanished again and reappear beside the boy. His hand clenched into a fist, turning it into a dangerous palm that smashed towards the boy.

"Get away!" The woman face became pale as she came infront of the boy. The mark on her forehead seem to come alive as a phoenix actually manifest out of it bringing immense heat that spread all over. With a loud cry the phoenix folded its wings to block the attack.

The azure robes man face changed as he never expected the woman to interfere so quickly. Clenching his teeth he forcefully tried to retract his palm but failed as 50% of it smashed on the phoenix breaking it and causing the woman to throw up a mouthful of blood that made the ground incinerate.

When the phoenix broke apart runes lit up as the broken phoenix absorb the blood that fell onto the ground and sending huge waves of hungry flames towards the man.

When the flames hit the man it caused his entire body to start burning. He became frightened as he tried to get rid of the flames but failed. The flames were like leashes that wanted to devour everything. His skin started burning away that made him afraid.

"Die!" When he didn't know what to do an aura suddenly locked onto him putting him in a worse situation. The black robes man circulated the hundred swords to the brim then swing his sword downward that hit down on the man like a meteor.

The azure robe man flew out like a shooting star with heavy injuries. That attack destroyed his entire foundation and it would probably take hundreds of years for him to reach back to his peak state.

That wasn't all as the meteor like sword strike smashed into the hundreds of people causing them to all die a miserable death.

Cough! Cough! When all was done the black robe man hacked up a mouthful of blood. His eyes went dim and his aura became weak as he fell to the floor. His vitality was slowly going away and his skin seem to sink into his bones making him look skinny. If the wind blew too hard its not impossible to say it would break his entire body like a branch being stepped on.

The woman didn't have it any better as the palm caused her heavy injuries. Although she managed to protect the boy the power behind that palm almost killed her.

If it weren't for the fact that the azure robe man pull back 50% of his attack she would have already be dead.

"Zheng'er its time for you to go." With blood leaking out of her mouth she touched the boy face again, "Oh right today's your birthday.. I didn't have anytime to prepare anything for you so take this." She cut her wrist and a orange tear flow out of it. She placed it into the boys mouth and his entire body started feeling extremely hot as drowsiness took over him, at any moment he felt like he was about to fall asleep.

"Remember that your name is Jian Zheng and the moment you turn fifteen you will soar like a dragon." The man walked over to the woman with a grave expression. He looked like he was on the verge of dying any moment now.

"Always stick to the path of swords for that path is where you belong." With those finally words the boys eyes closed as he fell asleep.

"And remember to take care of yourself!" The woman began crying again that caused her condition to worsen.

With those words the boy fell asleep but the moment he fell asleep something entered his body that caused the two faces to change before they then smile, "Maybe this is fate." They said in union as another explosion occurred and multiply dangerous auras appeared. At that moment the boy finally truly fell asleep and vanished without a trace.
