Chapter 654 - Her Dao Path

Four young men in their early twenties all rushed forward at Wen Yang's command. They all wore Moon Crest Academy's robes as well. Kana only snorted as she saw the group attacking her. She has spent months training against thousands of enemies; four qi gather cultivators with no real experience were not going to do any harm to Kana.

This was the moment that she would truly begin walking her new path within this world. Tina said her dao path would be different from others. She would be going against the heavens of this world. Her path would be one of much hardship and bloodshed. The path a cultivator walked was called their dao path. It was what they concentrated on most of all. Like a sword, cultivator would walk the dao path of the sword. While an alchemist would walk the dao of the pill. As for Kana, she would have to walk the hardest dao path known, the dao of splitting the heavens. Her end goal would be to split the heavens and break free from the restrictions that this world put on her. Only then could she be considered free. That meant she could not allow anyone to bully her. 

Kana stepped forward, killing intent surging from her body. Feeling such a strong killing intent coming from Kana caused Liu Na to be shocked. She quickly called out: "Kana, you can't kill them!"

Liu Na knew Kana had gone through harsh training, and this was where her killing intent came from. Anyone would have a strong killing intent if they spent months fighting thousands upon thousands of enemies on their own, just by the fact that Kana could survive such training already amazed Liu Na. But she also knew if she killed Wen Yang, it would cause issues with the sect and might keep her from being able to join the sect. It would also cause the Wen family to go after her as well. Wen Yang actually came from a prestigious cultivator family within the capital. He was well known for being mediocre in talent, which was why at his age, he was still an outer disciple. But his older brother Wen Zan was a foundation establishment cultivator and a core disciple. 

Because of this, Wen Yang was able to do as he pleased and had many outer sect disciples kissing up to him to curry favor with his brother in hopes of getting special treatment. This allowed them to do as they pleased as well since Wen Yang would cover for them as long as they did not go too far. 

Hearing Liu Na's reminder, Kana frowned and sheathed her sword. But her hand never left the hilt. But those young men rushing at her all saw it as Kana giving up and laughed: "Haha! It seems you know your place. But it's already too late!" 

Kana shook her head and bent her body slightly as she pulled the hilt of her sword. Everything happened in that instant. "Moon crest…" Only a soft voice could be heard before all four of the young men rushing at Kana let out cries of pain and fell to the ground, blood sprayed in all directions. Their legs had all been cut off. As Kana was already able to fire off blades of sword qi, moon crest was no longer a close range attack. 

Wen Yang stared at Kana in horror. He did not understand how a girl who was only at the peak of body fortification was able to cut off the legs of four qi gathering cultivators in an instant! Kana did not look at the four young men yelling out in pain. Her gaze fell on Wen Yang, whose eyes were filled with fear. Her lips parted as she said softly:  "Say it again!"

"I… Do you think you can get away with this!? You hurt four disciples of Moon Crest Academy! And you, you let her do it! I will make sure you are expel… ed…" Wen Yang's voice got caught in his throat. He felt a trickle of warm fluid dripping down his neck and a cold feeling of metal against his skin. 

"I said, say it again. What did you call me before? What did you say about buying me? Say it all again. I am afraid I missed it." Kana's voice was cold, and as it flowed into Wen Yang's ears, he felt as if the grim reaper was speaking to him. With the pressure of Kana's killing intent weighing down on him, he dared not move. He was afraid if he did not say the right thing at this time, he would lose his head. 

The spectators all stared at Kana in shock. They never expected her to move so fast. Only those of a higher cultivation could understand how she was able to. First, she was a divine beast, even though her beast core was a rank two core, they could only guess that she came from an ancient clan. Second, while her actual cultivation may be at the peak of body fortification, her ability to manifest and use sword qi made it clear that she was a genius in the way of the sword. And lastly, her movements just now showed she had trained for a long time. When you also add in her killing intent, it was clear her combat experience was thousands of more than those of the five young men.

Wen Yang was tongue tied he did not dare to speak, but he was also afraid if he didn't, the sword against his neck would press harder. "I.." Gritting his teeth and clenching his fist Wen Yang finally said: "I'm sorry. What I said was too much!"

"Mmm… it sure was. Since you apologized, I will let you off but remember not everyone will be as kind as me." Kana said as she removed her sword from Wen Yang's neck and pushed him forward. "You should hurry up and help your friends, or they might truly die, then it will be on you for their deaths." 

After saying these words she motioned for Ako and Liu Na to follow her as she sheathed her sword and continued to walk forward.. She didn't even spare Wen Yang a second glance.
