Awakening Of The Ancient: Rise Of The Fallen - Chapter 94

Xu Ming watched everything and hesitated. He wondered if he should stop it. He realized how hurtful it could be when someone you liked was killed. The man that was lying on the ground must have a family as well.

Xu Ming didn’t want to see someone die right before his eyes, but he had a decision to make.

It was a conflict of choice that he was facing. If he didn’t stop the guy from killing that man, he would be a part of the evil as well. But if he stopped him, his own life would be in danger. He realized that the man in front of him was way stronger than Xiang Feng. He didn’t have the strength to do anything.

And even if he managed to protect the man by offending his fellow Disciple, he would be left behind. There was no way that the disciple would bring Xu Ming to the sect after that. He would not be able to go back and that was something that held the highest importance for him as his necklace was inside the sect.

Ultimately, he just stood there as the guy was killed. Watching everything as it happened.

‘I can not save everyone in the world. I myself have blood on my hand after all,’ Xu Ming thought as he remembered the face of the girl he had to kill inside the Mighty Demon Sect in self-protection. He had already killed 5 people so far.

‘All I can do is try to protect the ones that are closer to me and avenge the ones that I have lost,’ Xu Ming thought as he clenched his fist.

The blonde-haired man was finished with Killing the person and he walked back to Xu Ming who was standing behind.

“I’m done with my mission. We can go back. Anyways, I’m Zi Zhenfeng. What’s your name?” The Blonde Haired Man inquired.

“I’m Xu Ming,” Xu Ming answered.

“Well, Xu Ming, you’re lucky that you met me. There are a lot of disciples who would have killed you at first sight if you had disturbed them in between their mission. Just keep that in mind in the future. Let’s go back,” Zi Zhenfeng said smiling

“I’d keep that in mind,” Xu Ming replied.

“Wait right there! What the heck are you devil spawns doing there? Did you kill that person?” A group of 3 men walked towards them as they asked.

Xu Ming couldn’t help but clench his fist as he saw those men. They were carrying a sword on their backs.

Two of them had Dark Green Sword Symbol on their chest that signified that they were the Initial Spirit Establishment Realm Disciples, while the 3rd person had a Light Green Symbol that proved that he was still in the Body Refining Realm.

“Hah, I see some chumps of the Glorious Sword Sect,” Zi Zhenfeng couldn’t help but chuckle as he saw the 3 of them.

“Looks like there’s going to be a fight. Hey kid, would you like to have some fun and take care of the weakest guy amongst them or should I take care of them all?” Zi Zhenfeng asked as he glanced towards Xu Ming.

He completely forgot about right or wrong and just wanted to destroy the Glorious Sword Sect entirely. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the strength that he needed.

He couldn’t destroy the Sect yet, but when he got the opportunity to hunt their disciples, he didn’t think twice.

He didn’t answer Zi Zhenfeng and took his sword out.

“Hah, I’ll take that as your yes. I like you kid. You didn’t hesitate for even a second at the thought of fighting. Exactly how the disciples of our Sect needs to be!” Zi Zhenfeng laughed out loud as he saw the sword in Xu Ming’s hands.

Just like Xu Ming and Zi Zhenfeng had decided, the Disciples of the Glorious Sword Sect had decided as well.

They had decided that the Spirit Establishment Realm Cultivators would fight Zi Zhenfeng who looked like the leader, while the Body Refining Realm cultivator would kill the kid that was with Zi Zhenfeng before coming to join them.

Just like that, the battle began, and shockingly, it ended just as fast as it started.

The Body Refining Realm was underestimating Xu Ming and he casually walked towards him without even bringing his sword out. He soon started regretting his choice as Xu Ming used the 1st Strike of Heaven.

The crowd that was standing far away was expecting a fierce battle between the righteous and the evil disciples, but they couldn’t help but be shocked as the battle ended in less than a minute.

The battle of Zi Zhenfeng took slightly longer, but even he had managed to kill his opponents in 3 strikes without even breaking out a sweat.

“Cheh, I was expecting better from them. They were so weak, I am not the least bit satisfied with this battle,” Zi Zhenfeng sighed as he walked back to Xu Ming.

“Anyways, was that the 1st strike from the 3 strikes of Heavens? Did you manage to learn it at such a young age? You must be a hidden genius from the sect, aren’t you? That’s why I haven’t seen you before?” He smilingly said.

He couldn’t help but feel amazed as he saw a 9-10-year-old kid using something that was said to be one of the toughest skills to use.

“I was lucky and managed to comprehend the skill,” Xu Ming replied without sounding the least bit arrogant.

“Hahaha, Yeah. Let’s go back,” He said as he brought out his beast from his storage ring.

It was also a flying beast that looked like an Eagle, but it looked snow white and it was much larger than the Wild Eagle Beast of Xu Ming.

Xu Ming also brought the Wild Eagle Beast out of his beast bag.

Zi Zhenfeng saw the Wild Eagle Beast and couldn’t help but shake his head.

“Send that back. You’re coming on my Snow Eagle. Your beast is like half as fast as mine. You’ll be left behind if I go at maximum speed, and I don’t wish to go slower. It would be better if you come on my beast. It can easily carry two people,” He said as he glanced at Xu Ming.

“Alright,”

Xu Ming nodded his head as he sent the Wild Eagle Beast back in his Beast Bag and climbed on top of the Snow Eagle after Zi Zhenfeng.

The Snow Eagle began flying and Xu Ming was indeed able to feel the difference in speed. Just as Zi Zhenfeng had said, it was twice as fast compared to his own Wild Eagle Beast.

“So which elder took you in as his personal disciple?”  Zi Zhenfeng inquired midway.

“No One. I don’t have a master,” Xu Ming answered him.

“Really? Someone as talented as you don’t have a master? Oh, I understand. You must have just learned the1st Strikes of Heavens and no one in the sect knows. If they knew, they would be lining up outside your courtyard to take you in as their disciples,” Zi Zhenfeng said in surprise.

“If you don’t mind, I can talk to my master about it. He can take you as his disciple?” Zi Zhenfeng asked.

“It’s alright. I don’t wish to have a master yet,” Xu Ming responded.

“Hah, as you wish. You’re missing out on a lot though,” Zi Zhenfeng said smiling.

“Can I ask you a question?” Xu Ming changed the topic as he asked.

“Sure. Don’t be shy,” Zi Zhenfeng replied.

“Why did it kill that man? What did he do wrong?” Xu Ming inquired.
