Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Ren woke up from his little nap and after stretching a bit he looked around and was rather surprised at what he saw. The stairs towards the Dajiao Sect had numerous slash marks. Even the ground outside the stairs and every other tree in the vicinity except for the one he was napping on was sliced.

Ren was somewhat surprised that the Sword Cultivator could actually fight his disciple Fang Mu to such an extent. He was sure that the other party wouldn’t last more than a few exchanges. Still, this was a rather pleasant surprise to him.

Ren looked around and could not find a single trace of the three people that he was with before he had his nap.

Ren then closed his eyes and spread out his spiritual sense. After a few seconds, Ren felt the spiritual presence of multiple individuals and one of them was his disciple Fang Mu. He was now truly awake as he sensed something very surprising, based on the feeling he got there was one person in a state of exhaustion and that person was none other than his disciple.

There was also a presence that was way above even the Mo Clan Ancestor he fought several months ago.

‘Oh, was there something interesting that happened while I was napping?’

…

Now let us turn the clock back to the time when Ren just took his nap. ．

….

Fang Mu was fighting the Sword Cultivator who was at the Golden Core Realm. After attacking a few more times Fang Mu noticed that even though the Sword Cultivator was of a higher realm than him he was far far far too weak.

Compared to his teacher the moves of this so-called Sword Cultivator were crude and his state of mind was all over the place. Now that he thought about it, wasn’t his teacher a little too powerful. No matter the sect they challenged his teacher would always fight them in what they were good at, using spells, using talismans, from unarmed combat to fighting using spears and daggers.

As long as it came to combat, his teacher seemed to be pretty much all-knowing. In fact, based on everything he has seen his teacher has never shown him his true strength. Even though he has been with his teacher for several months now he knows little to nothing about him. He wasn’t even sure what realm his teacher was at. As he was thinking Fang Mu suddenly heard someone shout at him.

“How dare you get distracted while fighting me!”

The Sword Cultivator’s sword came flying towards Fang Mu, who easily dodged it. Seeing the angry Sword Cultivator Fang Mu sighed.

“Just like my teacher said you are not worth fighting. Even if I don’t focus on the battle it doesn’t feel like you’ll be able to beat me. I better end this now.”

After speaking those words Fang Mu suddenly appeared before the Sword Cultivator with a speed that was faster than before. In the corner of the Sword Cultivator’s eye, he saw Fang Mu’s sword about to slice through his neck. The Sword Cultivator could see the attack coming but was unable to do anything, as he was sure that Fang Mu’s sword would reach his neck Fang Mu suddenly backed away.

“How aggressive. I thought you just came to challenge some people in the sect but not kill them.”

A man with a beautiful blue sword suddenly appeared in front of the Sword Cultivator shielding him from Fang Mu.

“I wasn’t going to kill him, I was just going to place my sword gently at the side of his neck and ask him to concede.”

“Hmph, that’s what you say but who knows what you really wanted to do.”

“It really was my intention to stop. I have no need to kill such a weak opponent, not to mention he was the first to strike me with murderous intent.”

When the Sword Cultivator heard what Fang Mu said his killing intent rose but he no longer attacked as he now understood the difference between them. Seeing the reaction the Sword Cultivator who fought Fang Mu made, the new arrival frowned.

“Oh, so an honorable Sect Guardian actually did all that. Do you have anything else to say in your defense, junior brother Ding Ju?”

The Sword Cultivator called Ding Ju simply looked at his senior brother but said nothing as he was already aware that no matter what he said it would only make him look worse than he already was.

“So it’s like that…” The newcomer sighed as he looked at his junior brother and then at Fang Mu. “Alright then, I will report this to the Sect Master once he returns, he will decide what your punishment will be. As for you outsider you and your companion may leave.”

“Huh, what do you mean leave? We haven’t settled who the winner is.” As Fang Mu spoke he noticed that more and more Sword Cultivators had arrived.

“It’s better if you just forget about this whole thing, and leave.” The supposed Senior Brother of the Sect Guardian spoke with a hint of killing intent.

“If I decide not to leave, what are you going to do?”

“Boy, I am Ma Jun one of the Dajiao Sect’s Guardians, do not mistake me for my weak Junior Brother over here. He and I might have the same title as Sect Guardian but I’m on a whole other level.”

After speaking Ma Jun unleashed his aura which was at the Nascent Soul Realm. He was in an even higher realm than Ancestor of the Mo Clan. The pressure Fang Mu felt was incredible, it wasn’t at the same level as when he faces his teacher but it was still something.

Still, instead of being threatened by the powerful foe before him, Fang Mu felt excited instead. When facing his teacher Ren, Fang Mu was always beaten before he could understand what he did wrong. Even when his master never fought back he still could not understand why he could not hit his opponent. That was because his teacher was way too strong, the skill difference between them was like heaven and earth.

On the other hand, fighting the disciples of the other sects was the exact opposite they were way too weak. He would pretty much defeat everyone either in one attack or after a few exchanges. So even now Fang Mu doesn’t know the extent to which he had improved.

So now that he was going to face an opponent that won’t lose to him immediately, he felt his heart racing. In fact, Fang Mu wasn’t even sure if he could beat the opponent before as even the weaker Sect Guardian with his Golden Core realm upon unleashing Cultivation could already suppress Fang Mu to some degree. The opponent this time was stronger than him by two major realms, and the chance of victory was minuscule.

Seeing that Fang Mu wasn’t responding, Ma Jun thought that he had frightened the young man, so he shrugged his shoulders.

“Are you too scared to even move?” After saying those words, Ma Jun saw Fang Mu smiling at him. The smile Fang Mu showed was very similar to Ren’s vicious smile.

“Scared, me? No, what I’m feeling now is pure excitement. An opponent that could test the very limits of my ability has appeared before me, why would I leave? Your name is Ma Jun right, I’m Fang Mu the disciple of Ren, and I challenge you to battle.”
