Chapter 106 Po, Lonely Swordsman

(1st Person POV)

In the first full of trees and green lushes, I walked silently. I was wearing a green kimono. I had a sword sheath hanging on my waist.

Oh, right! I haven’t introduced myself. My name is Po. Yes, just Po! I no longer have a surname. I have no family, relationship, or one to care about.

The only thing that I have is my sword.

But, it wasn’t always like this. I had a father, mother, and even a master who taught me and helped me grow stronger. I was born into a high-class family in the Royal Capital of the Blue Star Kingdom as the son of the head of the family.

Usually, people would assume I lived my life in bliss. But, it was precisely the opposite. I was born with talent, but it came with a cost. My mother was just a lowly maid in the family.

My birth was a complete accident and my mother’s wish. Due to that, I faced a lot of bullying and punishments from the elders, especially my father’s lovers.

My father had five wives, and my mother wasn’t one of them. Even though she gave birth to me, my father never changed her status and constantly beat us.

There were various reasons, but primarily because of his wives’ jealousy. As I said earlier, I was born with a lot of talent, so they were jealous of me and wanted to take out their jealousy of my mother.

Although I was talented, I was weak, and without any support, we lived a harsh life. At that time, I even had an enemy, unlike now. My enemy was none other than my father and his family.

I never thought I would get a chance to kill my enemy. But one day, a man found me. His name was Zhang Pu. He was the son of the Emperor, part of the royal family.

He was very kind, at least to me. He lived a life just like mine, but the circumstances were different. He had such a life because he didn’t have the talent despite being one of the sons of the Emperor.

On the other hand, I had talent but no status. He accepted me quickly. Although he wasn’t talented, the royal family supported him, and thus, he grew much stronger.

He taught me many things, and I slowly surpassed him in strength, but I never in my life thought of betraying him. He was the one to give me hope to live and kill my enemy.

I gradually got stronger until I finally succeeded in taking my revenge. I slaughtered that family. I killed every one of his wives in front of him before killing him.

Because I was ruthless enough to cut off everything except for the sword, sometimes I even wonder if I could ever cut off my blade. But whenever that thought came to my mind, I shook my head and ignored it.

As I was saying, I was passing through the forest. It has been a few days since I have been here. I have been around this forest because Zhang Pu has done something.

Of course, my relationship with him had already been cut off, but he was the one who gave me everything. So, I promised him that I would make three moves. I will fight three times for him but only to save him.

Currently, devils are roaming inside the Five Regions. And the person who summoned them was none other than Zhang Pu. He told me he had become the devil’s inheritor and future leader.

It was one of the main reasons why he decided to rely on himself. Before, he had no choice but to depend on me, but now, he had a choice: dual cultivate with my mother and increase his talent.

My mother was also with him. After all, I broke my relationship with her because I couldn’t see her becoming his dual cultivator as her son. But, I also couldn’t refuse him.

Though now it doesn’t matter at all.

Three creatures appeared in front of me as I kept walking in the forest. They had a devilish appearance, and it was visible due to their strange dark skin and black horns.

Almost no other creature had black horns, so as long as a creature has a black horn, he is a devil, even if his appearance looks like a human. Those black horns were the representation of the Devil Race.

“Jie! Jie! Jie! The fresh blood of a human. Many humans have scattered throughout the Five Regions, and I didn’t expect to stumble upon a single one. Don’t you have a group?” The devil in the middle cruelly laughed and asked.

I just decided to ignore it and walked forward. When I got closer, I moved to the side and passed them. The devils didn’t understand my action as they couldn’t comprehend whether I was fearless or a fool.

Suddenly, one of the demons thrust his fist toward me with great intensity. My eyes flickered a bit, and a sword pierced his head the next moment.

Splash!

“Devil.... Should I fight them?” I asked myself as two more swords appeared in the air. Those devils looked at the swords with horror and tried to attack, but before they could move, the sword pierced their foreheads.

I shook my head and muttered, “They are with him. Although I don’t care much, I don’t want to make trouble for him. I should wait for them to find me. It seemed like these devils won’t let a single human escape.”

At this moment, my eyes shifted toward the sky as I found many young people being carried by some elders. I sighed.

“Sun Dragon Sect! It seems like the elders and the disciples are forced to flee. Now, what do you want to do, Pu? Are you going to take over the kingdom or retreat? Would you need my help?”

“I hope you would.”

When I said that to myself, a smile appeared on my lips, I shook my head and continued walking forward as a few monsters came out of the trees, shivering and looking at the three devils.
