Chapter 104 - Improvement

A month passed since then…

Cang Yue's plan failed…

Fortunately, Yun Canghai agreed to help killing the Demonic Cultivator, unfortunately… They matched in strength.

Initially, Yun Canghai had the upper hand, even if it was for a small margin, however, as time passed, Yun Canghai felt more drained and figured out that it was the black Crystal ball's fault, which was suċkɨnġ out the Profound Energy protecting his soul before coming out for his own soul.

When Yun Canghai felt something wrong, he immediately retreated, he was fortunate that his soul was strong or it would be suċkėd out too fast.

Thr only thing Yun Canghai could do was delaying the Demonic Cultivator for a day every week, both of them fought against each other with new tricks on their sleeves, traps, and more things.

There are also the news that Jean cooperated with the Demonic Cultivator because everyone thought that the Demonic Cultivator  was Yun Canghai, the "Demon".

So the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region started to hunt for Jean, ignoring the Demonic Cultivator.

This made Cang Yue extremely stressful, everything was going against her, now the only thing missing was the death of her father, but fortunately he was cured long time ago.

She once sent a letter to the Divine Phoenix Region, but what came back was disappointment and disgust.

First of all, they didn't care.

Third, they would help only if the Princess of the Blue Wind Empire will marry with the 13th prince of the Divine Phoenix Empire.

So, as Jean would quote: "They are as much reliable as a Nazi in a Synagogue."

The first thing Cang Yue did was putting the letter in a recipient with their equivalent of gasoline before throwing it in a pill furnace.

The second thing she did was taking care of more important things, one of them was the disappearance of Fen Juechen, she was informed that he picked up one of their fastest profound beasts and left.

She didn't have any information about his intentions, which made her a bit worried, thinking he was trying to reach the Demonic Cultivator, but it didn't seem to be the case.

The only thing that could ease her mind was talking with Xiao Lingxi, the only girl around her age she could talk with in a normal tone.

[Meanwhile]

In an entire month of time, Fen Juechen was 1/3 to his destination, he just needed to leave the Divine Phoenix Empire and pass through the Sunflower Dew Nation, then he will reach the Black Fiend Nation.

He also reached the 8th Spirit Profound Realm thanks to treasures he found in the way, one of them was a talisman that would help him get 100 miles away from someone, he could have used it to go 100 miles forward towards his destination, but he didn't want to risk going backwards.

He was travelling on foot because the profound beast was too tired to fly, so he conserved it inside an imprint on his hand, which was made for temporary contracts with profound beasts.

He asked for one that lasted an entire year, so until the year ends, the profound beast can rest inside the imprint on his hand.

Walking past a forest through a man-made road, he gazed around with interest.

This was the type of journey he wanted to do with the rest of the group, unfortunately, not only was the Navy Tide Nation reduced to a wasteland, but an unknown entity separated them all.

*Clop* *Clop*

"Get out of the way, commoner!"

Fen Juechen turned around and saw a carriage pulled from horses going towards him. 

However, seeing that the carriage didn't want to slow down, Fen Juechen pulled out his Demon Flame Sword and slashed the carriage in two, letting fall 2 people.

One of them was a boy around 16 years, he was dressed luxuriously and his cultivation was at the late stages of the Nascent Profound Realm.

The boy glared at Fen Juechen and shouted. "How dare you do this to the Young Master of the Lin Clan?!"

Fen Juechen gazed at the Young Master of the Lin Clan and murmured. "Holy shit, was I like this too?"

He turned around and walked away, ignoring the young master, meanwhile the man stood up and angrily walked towards Fen Juechen with a spear on his hands, taken out from his Interspatial Ring.

"I'll make you pay for slowing us down, brat!;

The spear flew towards Fen Juechen, who just extended one arm and grabbed the spear with one hand, surprising the man.

It was a True Profound Weapon, so it didn't threaten him in the slightest. Fen Juechen pulled the spear away from the hands of the man and snapped it in two by hitting it with his right knee.

Then he threw away the pieces if the broken weapon and grabbed the man's head.

"Open your mouth." Fen Juechen ordered with a dark tone, the man hesitated but when he felt Fen Juechen's cultivation realm, he trembled and opened his mouth.

"W… What?"

"Open your mouth wide open." The man did as Fen Juechen ordered, and the latter made sure his teeth were fixed on the stone, and then…

*CRACK!*

Fen Juechen punched as hard as he could on the back of the man's head, pushing his jaws on the stone and breaking his teeth, while dislocating his jaw.

The young master of the Lin Clan flinched at the gruesome sound he heard while his bodyguard turned limp.

Then Fen Juechen threw the body away and walked towards the other person.

The young master trembled and crawled away from Fen Juechen. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!!"

However, Fen Juechen didn't listened and reached him. He grabbed his collar and pulled him up, glaring directly on his eyes. "Pull another shit like that again on me and I will be sure that you will be the last generation of your family."

…

Fen Juechen snorted and threw the young master away while walking on his path, annoyed for having consumed his own time to deal with trash.

[Meanwhile]

Since Jean transformed his weapon in a Demon King, his power increased dramatically, even if his defensive power diminished.

However, it didn't stopped him as he smashed statue after statue in one single hit while he flashed through the arena.

Jasmine was immensely surprised at the progress he was doing, he even reached the 98th wave.

The only problem is that he wasn't listening to her anymore, even if she yelled at him to be careful, he would just take on the attack and destroy the statue.

He also got quite brutal on breaking the statues, and the rate at which he died dramatically decreased during this month.

What he received, he gave it back.

He broke the statues through pulling out their jaws, breaking their heads, smashing them flat, melting them down, reducing them in dust…

Meanwhile, as he kept advancing, his throne, which also turned darker, remained the entire time on the same spot, never touched.

This time, in the 98th wave, he was facing 100 statues, yet, he broke them all and still had 10 seconds of rest.

10…

Jean started to grin like a maniac.

9…

2 swords that were impaled in his shoulders fell in the ground and turned to dust.

Blood was flowing out, while the Great Way of Buddha was doing its work as fast as possible.

Nahemah pierced the ground, causing a small shockwave around the arena.

Jean's muscles twitched, ready to fight.

He took the broadsword out from the ground.

5 shadows appeared around the arena.

Jean's head was rolling on the ground.
