To Walk The Mist Chapter 47

Ed had spent the entire month practising the sword techniques he had learned with the yhenxia sword . He had no intention of ever using this sword, but he still wanted this sword to be an extension of his body . He could pa.s.s forty percent of his energy through it . It was a wondrous object . He had hoped it would be able to take more, but this was still enough .

The end of the month had arrived and he must partic.i.p.ate in the battles . He prepared his swords, and walked out of his cave . When he walked out, he noticed that there were a lot of people coming out of theirs too . He followed their general direction till he was now moving within a crowd .

The crowd moved in one direction towards a clear field . It did not take long before they arrived . Ed noticed that there were quite a lot of people band together in a group . Those that stood alone, started to feel nervous . They wondered whether they should have joined a faction . When the fight begins, they will be the first to be killed .

Ed was standing by himself, making him a target for a lot of factions . Many had already gone round and gotten enough information about their target . Those from Ed's section of caves were in a way, safe . News that the caves no more emitted astral energy was common news . But those who where known to possess a lot of wealth like Ed, were still in their radar .

Ed glanced pa.s.sed several killing intents without care . He was taking note of the factions around him . Most newcomers had formed their own factions, but Ed was more interested in the veteran factions . Then his eyes moved to the top ten . These were cultivators who stood alone, yet were still top ten on the slate . This only meant that they were powerful .

Ed noticed were they stood . They were not in one position, but it was easy to spot who they were . The other faction leaders were wary of them, and this was a good indication of who they are . Ed glanced pa.s.sed them, trying not to stare too long, yet trying to gauge their level of power . He could easily see through their cultivation, even to the kind of energy they absorbed .

As his eyes glanced around, he felt the hair at the back of his neck rise . This feeling, this was not killing intent . This felt like being stared down by a wild predator . Ed turned to the direction of the stare and met very calm eyes .

This boy, no older than eighteen looked back at him . His outer appearance looked sophisticated and calm, like a n.o.ble gentleman . But Ed trusted his senses . This boy was a wild animal disguised as a gentleman . He could tell that he worked hard to be perceived as gentle and almost relate-able . He noticed as many others tried to strike a conversation with him and how he answered with a soft gentle smile .

Ed wondered why he was this boy's target . Ed understood that his appearance was could confuse people . Ed himself had stepped into this world and spent fifteen years in the valley and ten years in the Baju valley . In this world he could be cla.s.sified as twenty five years old . But he was twenty eight back in his world and entered this world looking exactly the same . He could be considered a fifty three year old man . But he looked the same since the day he came .

His appearance was a good thing . One would look down on a fifty three year old man at spirit picking stage . This boy did not seem to be looking down on his cultivation, he saw Ed as food . Why? Then Ed remembered he had spent a lot of spirit tokens on the swords in that shop . Was he the boss the attendant went to report to?

Ed could not bother about this . This battle field is a good training ground for his fighting skills . He did not care if others had lost interest in his cave because it had lost it's energy, nor did he care about those that saw him as food . No matter their position, they were all his target . His goal was to kill as many people as possible, to fight as many battles as possible and get better at fighting in this world .

"The battle field will soon open . The rules are simple, there are no rules . " the instructor said and the s.p.a.ce around them warped .
