Mission: Seduce the Master! - Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Rise of a Legend (Part 3)
Silence and tranquility… what a wonderful feeling. Bright sunrays shone on the ground, causing the earth to glitter, and the temperature in the air began to rise.

Dawn!

“Kii? Kii!”

The cultivators looked around in confusion and saw their hands beginning to melt under the influence of the temperature.

“Oh, heavens!” someone exclaimed and pointed to the sky: “Look! It’s… a second sun!”

“Wh-what… the hell?!”

The heavens were lit by two suns. Many with good eyesight froze in fear when they realized that this sun was made up of tiny blades charged with Sword Aura!

And then, as if the master of this tiny world, the voice of a young man echoed in everyone’s head.

“Sword world… Destruction!” cried Xie Qing and his eyes gleamed with a golden flame.

BOOM!

Countless blades flew out of the second sun. Each blade was no larger than five centimeters but possessed terrifying power.

“Wh-what!?”

The cultivators stood in shock, watching as the ground beneath their feet trembled and the gloomy heavens grew brighter. Many fell to their knees and clutched their throats, looking at Xie Qing as he floated in the air, his slender and powerful back shielding them from danger.

“Hahaha…”

Xie Qing laughed in satisfaction and spread his arms, feeling the admiring gazes upon him. This was a dangerous technique that did not distinguish between friend and foe, so he had asked Fang Lan to move everyone back before using it.

And now, as the moment arrived, he used this technique. Instantly, countless cultivators in the sky fell to the ground, mutilated.

“Kiiii!”

Their screams echoed in the eerie silence. The bright glow of the swords did not stop. They suddenly began to merge into a uniform mass and transformed into a magnificent sword with a blade two meters high.

“Time to shred the monsters!” cried Xie Qing, a confident smile on his face.

“Oh…”

Gripping the hilt of the blade with both hands, he rose even higher into the air and then, with a devilish grin, raised the sword and… slashed!

“Kii?”

BOOM!

The monsters’ bewildered cries were answered only by a loud explosion and a bright light that blinded everyone, friend or foe.

“Aaah! My eyes…”

“It hurts…”

The cultivators screamed in pain and immediately covered their faces, avoiding the bright light as if they were vampires.

Meanwhile, the earth shook under the pressure of the sword strike, shaking the ground. The bright light pierced the earth for twenty meters and headed straight for the monsters.

“Kiiii! Kiiiiii!”

Many of the monsters tried to escape, but in the end, they were caught by the light. With each second, their numbers dwindled.

Watching this, Xie Qing proudly smiled and ignored the dizziness. This technique consumed too much qi, but it looked effective and was useful for a mass attack.

His main goal had been achieved… he wanted to show off!

The mass attack left the spectators unable to observe for a while, but when they opened their eyes, they saw something that made their mouths hang open and some even fall to their knees in shock.

“Heavens…”

“T-the city…”

“Cut in half?!”

Indeed, dear cultivators, you have correctly commented on the emergency. The ruined city was ablaze, causing many to squint. Moreover, in the center was a gaping hole twenty meters deep and forty meters in diameter!

“Oh… monster…” someone muttered, helplessly falling to the ground.

Xie Qing returned his face to its former indifference and brushed the dust from his face, then tied his hair back in a long ponytail.

Ding!

“Hm?”

The young man raised an eyebrow and looked at the notification. His eyes widened.

[Skill improved…]

[Showing character card…]

[Rising Legend (2/4)] | [Rank: Elite?] | [Description: A technique that increases the body’s throughput, removing limitations and allowing you to reach a new level of power. Bonus to strength and Qi, and also creates pressure for those below your cultivation stage. It seems that you have not yet died at the hands of your lovers, but that does not mean it will not change in the future… kakaka]

“Ooo…”

Xie Qing smiled, pleasantly surprised. He had discovered this skill long ago but had never used it because there was no need. However, it seemed that now this skill had improved.

“Create pressure on those below me, huh? Not bad,” thought the young man, dismissing the notification with a smile.

He looked at the crowd of cultivators who stood frozen, staring at him with fear and awe. Even Fang Lan could not help but feel fear as she looked at him with admiration and some trepidation.

The young man narrowed his eyes, and his aura became cold and unreadable. As he descended to the ground, his feet touched the earth and…

Crack.

The earth cracked under his pressure, and a spiderweb-like crack spread straight toward the frightened crowd.

“Oops,” the young man thought with an inscrutable expression: “I forgot to limit my qi…”

Realizing this, Xie Qing limited his qi and now looked like an ordinary person. Even the most experienced cultivators could not determine their cultivation level.

“Devil…” thought some, but did not dare to say it aloud.

In the view of ordinary cultivators, there are three types of talent:

First – good talent.

Second – the genius of a generation. And…

Third.

“Monster.”

“Beast.”

“Immortal…”

Many had seen scenes like this before. But… this power came from one young man who was not yet twenty!

And while the crowd was in shock, the sound of footsteps could be heard. Soon, another thousand people from various sects appeared.

“Where are the monsters?!” they cried, seeing the crowd of cultivators.

“Dead…” came the beautiful, velvety voice.

This voice belonged to Xie Qing, who, with Fang Lan’s support, sat down on a chair and took pills to restore his qi.

“Hm?”

Two thousand years later…

The cultivators were shocked when they learned of everything. How was it possible? One man had stood against an order of monsters.

As if from the immortal world, Xie Qing possessed a powerful and mysterious aura. No one dared approach him – all feared disturbing the peacefully cultivating young man.

“Well, let’s check first, in case the Elder didn’t kill them all and a few are hiding?” someone suggested.

“Agreed, let’s hurry. We can’t let them escape.”

They divided into groups and began searching the city for any remaining enemies.

“Ugh… I can’t breathe properly. The air here is so heavy and hot,” muttered a cultivator, fanning himself.

“They say that young-looking cultivator did it. With one blow, he cut the city in half,” said a middle-aged man with gray hair. There was fear in his eyes: “The elder of my sect is still shocked by that scene. He says he has never seen such divine power.”

“Many secretly call him a monster, but I don’t agree!” exclaimed a girl, her cheeks flushing as she remembered Xie Qing’s handsome face: “He’s so handsome! Plus, he’s very polite and calm. How can such a person be a monster?”

“Pfft, fool! We understand that, it’s just that such talent, besides calling him a monster – would be an insult to him,” said one of the cultivators, jumping up and down: “OUCH! I almost stepped on a sword soaked with Sword Aura.”

“Be careful, or you’ll end up without a foot. Hahaha!”

For about two hours, the cultivators searched for surviving monsters but found only cold corpses. Some had been cut into thousands of tiny pieces, with small blades sticking out of their flesh.

Some of the smarter ones had special nephrite tokens with an inner space. They had placed swords inside to protect themselves in case of danger.

Despite the tedious work, there was a benefit. Especially for the swordsmen.

“Heavens, what a wonderful understanding of the sword! I admire this man!”

Their eyes shone with excitement. For them, this place had become a gold mine.

***

News of the grand victory over the monsters and the plan of the devilish cultivators spread across all continents, reaching even the most remote caves.

People marveled at how a cultivator named Xie Qing from the Sect of Heavenly Sword had single-handedly defeated all the monsters and cut the city in half with one blow.

The news reached the imperial court.

“Your Majesty…”

A well-groomed maiden entered the divine garden and, folding her hands, bowed to the woman sitting on the ground.

The woman was as beautiful as a lily and seemed as fragile as crystal. Her long wavy silver hair flowed down her slender back, and her silver phoenix eyes and light makeup combined strength and beauty.

She was dressed in a golden hanfu, with a bright golden ribbon flowing above her head. Her slender and long legs were naked, exposing her snow-white skin, and nearby lay neatly folded white stockings with gold patterns.

“What is it, Yu?” asked the woman.

The maid came to her senses, finishing being enchanted by the woman’s beauty. She lowered her head and explained:

“Your Majesty, signs of devilish cultivators have been discovered on the Western Continent.”

“I know… and?”

“And… all the monsters have been exterminated,” reported the maid, her face becoming strange.

“As expected. So many cultivators were sent, and even my imperial guard went there,” the woman elegantly nodded, looking at the lotus in the water and continuing: “Is there anything else? I sense your emotions…”

“Your Majesty is as wise as ever!”

The maid awkwardly smiled, then reported what she had learned from the captain of the imperial guard.

“The honorable Mr. Bai Bian, captain of the guard, reported that all the monsters… were exterminated by one person,” reported the maid, her breath catching: “His one strike created a perfect cut twenty meters deep, and even after two days, the Sword Aura there remains just as dangerous.”

“Oh?”

The woman gave a surprised sigh and finally turned her beautiful and elegant face. Her long silver eyelashes fluttered as she looked at her maid.

“What is that young man’s name? His actions have saved many lives. I would like to reward him properly.”

The maid wrinkled her brow slightly, but under the attentive gaze of her empress, she sighed and reported.

“His name… is Xie Qing!”
