Chapter 1038: Spirit Husbandry Sect
“Roar!”
A group of Tree Monsters looked at Chen Fan and snarled at him, warning him to back off.
Mu Xiao sent a voice transmission to Chen Fan and told him that those Tree Monsters were the most common fiendish demons on Heavenly Jupiter. Each of them were over a thousand years old. Once their life essence was tainted by blood, they would be transformed into something known as Blood Tree Monsters, such as these ones. They were demonic beings that preyed on innocent humans and had an appetite for flesh. They were spread all across the Heavenly Jupiter planet, just like a never-ending plague.
A dozen Tree Monsters surrounded the couple. Their bodies were covered with thick bark, which was able to withstand even the most deadly blows. Even disciples from powerful sects had succumbed to their threat.
“Hm?”
After Chen Fan realized that those two cultivators were both human, Chen Fan’s first reaction was to save them. It was true that mighty cultivators were indifferent to the world’s problems, but Chen Fan’s conscience wouldn’t let him sit idly and watch them die.
Suddenly, the girl hiding behind the man spoke under her breath, “Senior Brother Fu, he’s just a Connate Cultivator, why would we ask help from him? We have already lit the flare, Elder Sun and Elder Ding will be here in no time.”
She was wearing a flaming red skin-tight gown that revealed her lush curves. She was around sixteen; a hint of arrogance was hiding behind the budding beauty of her face. The flickering light emanating from her treasures suggested that she was a rich heir from a powerful sect. She had spoken quietly, but her remark didn’t escape Chen Fan.
“What a fool,” Senior Brother Fu cursed in his mind, “Do you think I haven’t realized that? We’d be dead before help arrives if we don’t make use of cannon fodder.”
Seeing Chen Fan was put off by the girl’s comment, Fu Qiang inwardly cursed the girl once again. She was heir to a powerful elder in his sect, and her affection would become a ladder that would help him rise to power. Otherwise, he would have already left her to deal with the Tree Monsters on her own.
Despite himself, he gave the girl a comforting look and shouted at Chen Fan, “Fellow cultivator, please don’t mind her. She is but a child and doesn’t know any better. My name is Fu Qiang, I’m a disciple of the Spirit Husbandry Sect. Your help will be heavily rewarded.”
“I don’t need any rewards.”
Chen Fan gave him a long glance and then started a Sword Art. He pointed a finger at the Wood Element Flying sword, then let out a command.
Swish!
The flying sword turned into a smear of azure light and arced across the sky like an elegant butterfly, leaving a trail of sparkling dust. Before any of the tree monsters realized what had happened, the sword had sliced through all of them.
“Crack!”
The blade went through seven Tree Monsters as if they were butter.
“Roar!”
The leader of the Tree Monster was furious.
They had never thought that a flying sword would be able to pierce through their immensely thick armor. It was obvious that Chen Fan’s flying sword was only a spirit treasure, no better than the one wielded by Fu Qiang, which had failed to even make a dent on the Tree Monsters’ armor.
“Hm?”
Even the girl was taken aback by Chen Fan’s mighty blow.
“Amazing Sword Art!” Fu Qiang exclaimed.
His level of attainment was higher than the girl’s and was able to see much more amazing nuances in Chen Fan’s seemingly weak attack. Each of the jabs and slashes landed on the Tree Monsters’ weak points, dismembering them in an instant.
“His Sword Art is on par with those Perfected Cultivators,” Fu Qiang added. The turn of events changed his attitude toward Chen Fan and he even invited him to the Spirit Husbandry Sect as a guest.
“There’s no need,” Chen Fan replied calmly.
He pointed a finger again and the flying sword traced a circle in the sky and plummeted toward the Tree Monsters again. Even as the monsters thickened their defense, the sword turned into five rays of light; they pierced the hearts of all the five Tree Monsters, killing them.
Art of Multiplying Blade Auras!
Fu Qiang’s eyes were lit up with excitement.
It confirmed that Chen Fan was a Sword Master who was worthy of his efforts to get on his good side.
Chen Fan’s lack of high tier treasures belied his humble origin. Fu Qiang knew that the minds of such people could be easily swayed.
“Swish.”
Chen Fan had only reached the Connate level.
However, his Art of Sword Reigning was sublime. The sword glided across the sky with fluid motions and turned into a godly divine weapon.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
The Tree Monsters stood no chance under Chen Fan’s onslaught. The blade went through their defense as well, as the Qi of Wood Spirit moved with ease.
Chen Fan had slayed more than a dozen Tree Monsters easily, including the leader of the monsters.
“Roar!”
The remaining Tree Monsters turned tail and fled.
Chen Fan waved a hand to make the azure blade return. He only wanted to save the couple, not to become a full-fledged demon hunter. There were countless vile demons in the universe, and undertaking such a task was foolish. Chen Fan’s mind was focused on the pursuit of Heavenly Dao, and could not be distracted by a fool’s errand.
“Thank you for your help. May I know who you are? I shall report back to the Spirit Husbandry Sect and reward you heavily.”
Fu Qiang approached Chen Fan, beaming from side to side.
Meanwhile the girl in the red gown stood with a cold face and moved toward Chen Fan reluctantly.
“Hehe, there’s no need ”
Chen Fan cracked a smile and flew away.
Suddenly, an angry voice came down from the sky.
“Who dares to harm my disciple?”
With a crack of thunder, a brawny man with a face full of beard appeared in the sky. He was surrounded by lightning and possessed overbearing power. It was obvious; he was a Golden Core Cultivator.
“Was it you?”
The brawny man cast a vicious glare at Chen Fan and tried to overwhelm him with his energy.
