Chapter 1156 Sword Graveyard

"So that was a demon, huh? They're not as strong as I thought." Yuan said, still putting up the act that this was his first encounter with a demon.

However, Tian Suyin immediately saw through his act and pointed at him and shouted, "Y-You think this is funny?! There's no way that was your first fight with a demon since you clearly knew about its regeneration abilities, or else you wouldn't have done something so ridiculous as your first move!"

Yuan smiled at her remarks and asked, "Even if I told you that I have the ability to kill them, would you have believed me?"

"T-That's…" Tian Suyin immediately became speechless, as there was no way that she'd have believed him.

"You're really full of surprises, Xiao Yang." Tian Yanyu said with a dazed face.

"Not only have you encountered them, you seem very experienced with fighting them. Where'd you learn that, hm?" Jin Xi looked at him with an intrigued gaze.

"I will tell you if you tell me your relationship with the masked man." Yuan smiled at her.

"Wha— Why do you care so much about my relationship with another man? Are you jealous?" She laughed.

Tian Yanyu stared at Yuan intensively.

Yuan shrugged, "Will you tell me if I admit that I am jealous?"

"No," she immediately replied.

Yuan merely shook his head in silence before speaking, "Anyways, let's continue."

They started moving again shortly after.

"Xiao Yang, are you really jealous?" Tian Yanyu asked him using divine sense.

"Huh? No way."

"Then why do you care so much?"

"To tell you the truth, I have some connections to the masked man, so I was just interested."

"What?!" Tian Yanyu exclaimed in a shocked voice after hearing this.

"Why are you suddenly shouting?" Tian Suyin frowned.

"S-Sorry…"

Jin Xi glanced at them. She contemplated listening in on their conversation, but knowing Yuan's ability, he'd easily realize it.

"Keep it a secret, okay?" Yuan chuckled.

"Of course… But how do you know the masked man? Isn't he the creator of this place?"

"I don't actually know him. Sorry, I don't know how to explain it. It's complicated."

After all, it wasn't as if he could say that he was the masked man's reincarnation.

"Is that so…" Despite her curiosity, Tian Yanyu didn't pursue the topic any longer.

After walking for a little longer, Tian Yanyu suddenly asked, "Hey… I just noticed this, but why are we walking? Wouldn't it be faster if we flew there?"

"If you wish to be spotted easily by demons and magical beasts, by all means, I don't mind flying." Jin Xi said.

This quickly made Tian Yanyu speechless.

"A-Actually, never mind. I was being too shortsighted," she apologized in an embarrassed manner.

"Wait a second." Yuan suddenly jumped in, and he continued, "That's actually not a bad idea. Time is precious in this place, after all. Don't worry, I will deal with any danger that we encounter."

"…"

Normally, this is where Tian Suyin objects and starts calling him reckless.

However, after what she witnessed before, she realized that Yuan was not the reckless type and that he had the power to back up his confidence.

"Since nobody is objecting, let's start flying now." Jin Xi said as she ascended into the sky.

Literally not even five minutes later, Yuan could sense demons approaching them.

"Be careful, we have three guests." Yuan calmly warned them.

"Three?!" Tian Suyin exclaimed.

"Don't worry, they are all low-ranking demons. I can deal with them with closed eyes."

"This guy…" Tian Suyin was speechless.

"Whooohooooo!"

An excited voice suddenly resounded from a distance.

"It's been over a hundred years since I last tasted humans!"

"Lucky me!"

The three demons laughed merrily as they surrounded Yuan's group.

Tian Suyin and Tian Yanyu subconsciously moved closer to Yuan when they felt the demons scanning their bodies with starved eyes.

"Let's feast!" One of the demons suddenly rushed forward.

Yuan raised his arm and pointed at the incoming demon before unleashing his Sword Aura.

Almost instantly, the demon's body was shredded until there was nothing left.

This shocked the other two demons, who had no idea what had just happened. And while they were scrambling to make sense of the situation, Yuan unleashed his Sword Aura for a second time, killing another demon.

The remaining demon trembled, and with hesitation, it turned around and began flying away at maximum speed.

"Where do you think you are going?" Yuan sent his Sword Aura chasing after the fleeing demon.

The demon could feel the lower part of its body quickly being consumed by the Sword Aura, but it could not run any faster. In the end, its life also perished to the Sword Aura.

pA ?,da-n????.c?m After dealing with the three demons as though it was nothing but a walk in the park, Yuan sighed in a disappointed voice, "It's a pity that I can only target one of them at a time right now."

Tian Suyin looked at him with a baffled face.

'Is there anything that he can't do?' she wondered inwardly.

"Let's continue, shall we?" Yuan smiled at them, acting like nothing had just happened.

Eventually, they arrived at the Sword Graveyard. It took them nearly half a month, and they had encountered over a hundred demons on their way there.

"One of you here must be a demon magnet." Jin Xi said, because of their abnormal number of encounters with demons.

Yuan could only show a stiff smile regarding her remarks.

"So this is the Sword Graveyard, huh? It exceeds my imagination…" Tian Suyin mumbled, her face full of delight, almost like a child at an amusement park for their first time.

Before her was a large field with thousands of unique swords plunged into the ground, invoking a sense of both awe and sadness. The sheer number of swords was overwhelming, and it made Tian Suyin wonder why this place existed.

Had these swords been discarded? Is this truly a burial ground for swords? Or is there a deeper meaning for this place?

"All these swords… What a waste." Tian Suyin sighed. As someone who walked the path of a sword master, this sword graveyard was a sorrowful sight.

When Yuan first laid eyes on the Sword Graveyard, his body froze, and for some inexplicable reason, he started feeling many emotions that he could not explain.
