The Hedonist Sword God

This was because Jian Shen was very curious about how strong the Sword of Despair was, and since Qingyu didn"t seem to be bothered by it, he felt that this was the best time.

Holding the pitch black hilt in his hand, Jian Shen felt very comfortable as if the hilt had been made perfectly to fit his hand.

Pus.h.i.+ng a branch which was in front of his eyes away, Jian Shen stopped and collected his breathing.

Not too far away from him, there was a huge beast sleeping.

Having spent a lot of his free time, before he found the Heavenly Dragon Sword in preparation for life outside the palace, Jian Shen immediately recognized which beast it was.

"Silver tailed python."

"Correct. But, are you sure you want to fight it? That"s a High Grade Profound Beast. Its strength is just a bit away from rivalling those at the Earth Realm."

Spirit Beasts were divided into four different grades, in respect to the four different stages of the Lower Dantian"s cultivation.

They are Profound Beasts, Ancient Beasts, Desolate Beasts, and True Beasts.

And these grades are further split into Low Grade, Medium Grade, and High Grade.

In short, a Low Grade Ancient Beast was capable of easily defeating someone in the Earth Realm of Cultivation. Because as generally accepted, when a battle took place between a human and a beast of the same strength, it was always the beast which won.

Therefore, at least a single cultivator in the Earth Realm was needed to hunt a High Grade Profound Beast. If not, at least a party of 10 or more cultivators in the Crystal Core Realm were needed.

Because, that was just how strong Spirit Beasts were.

And despite knowing all of this, Jian Shen confidently nodded his head.

"Yes. Since I cultivate in the Myriad Sword Cultivation Technique, fighting against those at my same level is stupid."

Listening to Jian Shen, Juew.a.n.g didn"t say anything else and remained calm.

After all, even if Jian Shen failed to defeat it, she could easily save him.

Taking a few breaths to calm down, Jian Shen carefully observed the green snake which was almost 20 feet in length, and was as thick as a tree"s trunk.

Making note to watch out for the silver tail, which contained a very deadly poison, Jian Shen raised the sword and prepared to deal a huge wound right away.

Because after that, he could fight with it for a long time without worrying about losing too fast.

"Relax. To use me, just pour your Qi inside me."

Not saying anything, Jian Shen started running towards the snake with light steps, while oblivious to the fact that it was faintly smiling.

Turns out that the silver tailed python had sensed Jian Shen a long time back, and was just acting like it was asleep to lure him in.

And its plan worked quite well, because its prey was running towards it.

Hissing loudly, the snake raised it"s huge head and opened its mouth wide to swallow Jian Shen in a single bite.

Seeing the mocking look in the snake"s eye, Jian Shen understood that he had been played, and it wasn"t actually sleeping.

But, that didn"t make Jian Shen feel nervous, because he had long since known about how smart Spirit Beasts were.

Pouring his Qi into the Sword of Despair without holding back, Jian Shen was just about to increase his speed when he felt completely powerless.

Just as the snake was about to close in on Jian Shen, it suddenly sensed something which made its cold blood turn even colder.

It felt so cold, that the snake felt it was frozen in place.

Never having felt so much fear, the snake could only stare at Jian Shen with wide eyes as everything in its sight was filled by the huge mist of black and red which came out of the scary black sword.

Luckily, it didn"t know what happened but the human stopped moving after which he fell down on his knees.

While it didn"t know what was happening, the silver tailed snaked knew better than to try and attack him. Turning around the snake started fleeing before the human recovered and attacked it.

"What.... Hufff.... What"s happening?... Hufff..."

Holding the Sword of Despair, Jian Shen stopped pouring his Qi inside it, but his body was very exhausted to move.

Surrounded by the black and red mixed mist which came out of the Sword of Despair, Jian Shen was unable to understand what was happening.

As soon as he poured his Qi inside the sword, before he could even react the Sword of Despair had used more than half of the Qi inside him!

However, just as Jian Shen felt that he would faint from overusing his Qi, the sword stopped taking Qi from him.

"I"m sorry husband. I was too eager, and ended up taking a lot of your Qi."

"No... That"s not what happened..."

Recovering a little, Jian Shen could tell that it wasn"t Juew.a.n.g"s fault.

What happened, was that he used a lot of Qi, but not only did he fail to bring out the sword"s full strength, he even exhausted himself.

If not for Juew.a.n.g who stopped taking Qi from him, Jian Shen would"ve lost his conscious by now.

Seems like the Sword of Despair was too strong for the current Jian Shen to use.

Just as Jian Shen was feeling that he should raise his cultivation by a lot before he would be able to use the sword properly, Juew.a.n.g started speaking.

"Try and use me again, husband. I"ve placed nine seals on myself, and removed a single one. Considering your cultivation, you should be able to use me without exhausting yourself. I"ll remove the remaining seals, once you grow stronger."

Nodding his head, Jian Shen wanted to rest for a while, but before he could, he heard the sound of someone rus.h.i.+ng towards him.

"Please help me!"
