Chapter 0051 – That’s It – Absolute Returns

Xu Dalong’s heart pounded as if something had hit him.

“My heart is suddenly beating so fast.”

Xu Dalong looked at the knife in his hand and said excitedly.

“That’s because you drank too much yesterday, or, you have a bad heart.”

“Huh? Oh.”

The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon turned to leave, dropping a sentence, “Don’t be late.”

“Aye! I’ll be on time!”

Xu Dalong put the knife on the ground and turned around, but after a few steps, he turned back and picked up the knife.

As he walked, he wondered if he was dreaming.

“I shouldn’t be dreaming ……”

He felt his head was groggy and as heavy as the knife in his hand.

Xu Dalong walked into my study, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were a bit red and swollen, he looked hungover. However, he had a never-before-seen knife hanging from his waist, a knife that was proof enough that the matter between him and the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon had been settled.

“My right hand man is here?” I asked with a smile.

“You’re pushing me into the fire pit!” Xu Dalong complained.

“It’s a good thing you made it back alive.”

“How could you hand me over to the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon? You should protect me!”

“It seems that you really don’t remember anything.”

Xu Dalong froze for a moment and asked, “What happened to me?”

“You were in the tavern yesterday, insisting on worshipping the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon as your master, and saying how could I break up your master and disciple? Those who don’t know, would think that you’ve been together for decades.”

“…… You don’t fool me.”

“I also hope that this is false. Before you fell asleep yesterday, you said that you wouldn’t learn sword techniques even if you died, but then you woke up and became the disciple of the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon. If you don’t believe me, ask Monarch Zhang, he was looking dumbfounded.”

“Ouch, my head …… Could it be that I really am a drunken maniac?” Xu Dalong clutched his head and said in pain.

“Pity.”

“Unfortunately what?”

“What a nice melancholy air you used to have, why have you become so cheerful lately? Last night, you even told jokes.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll have it back in shape by tomorrow.”

“Why?”

“Because I’m going to start practicing after work today. The Blood Heavenly Blade Demon will definitely practice me to death. I really hope I never get off work today!”

“Unfortunately, I won’t get to see you being abused.”

“Huh?”

“I’m going on a long trip today, it’ll take me about two months, during this time, Department Six will be in your hands.”

The smile on Xu Dalong’s face disappeared as he asked seriously, “Are you going to do that?”

“Which one?”

Xu Dalong pointed to his eyes, and I realized what he meant.

Last night, before going to the tavern, Xu DaLong had said that I had the same look in my eyes as when I decided to challenge those impossible tasks.

“Yes, that’s the thing.”

“It’s dangerous, isn’t it?”

“Fortunately, I’m prepared for anything.”

“Huh?”

Xu Dalong looked puzzled, but I didn’t explain.

He gave me a solemn salute and said, “Please be very careful! I can only pray for you silently in my heart, I am so sorry.”

“If you want to help me, learn the art properly from the Blood Sky Blade Demon.”

I turned to leave when Xu Da Long suddenly called out to me.

“Swordfather!”

“What’s wrong?”

“If it wasn’t for you, there’s no way I would have had the chance to worship the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon as my master.”

“Things change, if it wasn’t for me, you might have had the chance to worship my father. Well, I’m off.”

“Yes! Don’t worry about going, I’m here!”

I found Lee Ann and told her about my work schedule for the next two months, then quietly left West Fantasy Town.

I sped all the way to the northwest.

As the realm of the Wind God Steps continued to rise, my speed increased.

Unless one is an expert proficient in light kung fu, an ordinary martial artist would not be able to catch up with me.

I ran frantically until my internal energy was exhausted, then I stopped and found a hidden place to meditate and regulate. After my internal energy recovered, I continued to rush, and so on and so forth.

When I was hungry, I hunted with the “Kibaki” technique that my father had taught me.

Now, I was able to clearly perceive the movements around me, and even a wild boar hiding deep in the woods could not escape my perception.

I would make a fire and roast meat, and sometimes, I would meet a passing hunter or medicine picker and we would drink and chat together. I knew them well in my previous life, so it was easy to get along.

I started to slow down when I was about halfway to my destination.

Since I couldn’t go too early, I decided to enjoy the ride.

When I encountered a high mountain, I climbed up it, of course, I didn’t use my light power to fly up there, but I climbed the rock with my bare hands. I didn’t use internal force, only the power of my flesh, feeling every part of my body, checking for any injuries or muscle deficiencies.

When martial artists practiced internal martial arts, they often neglected the exercise of the physical body, and this, in turn, was the difference between masters and ordinary martial artists. True masters would not let go of any detail, because they knew that details determined success or failure.

I would sit on the cliffs and watch the sun set over a magnificent view of nature.

Every time I do this, I feel my heart open and all my worries dissipate.

I had promised Lee Ann that I would take her on a trip to the jungle, but now, I missed my father even more.

I want to travel with him, enjoy the sights, talk with him, I want to get to know him, get to know his thoughts, get to know his life.

Will we ever get that chance?

I never thought that I would have such strong feelings for my father. Perhaps I was missing the father I never met in my previous life.

I’ll enjoy the view while continuing on my journey until I reach my destination.

When I reached my destination, the realm of Wind God Steps had risen another level, I was faster and consumed less internal energy.

“Hahaha ……”

I let out a loud laugh and ran through the hills like a madman.

I have found that Wind God Steps is a martial art that can stimulate the wildness within a person, and it can amplify the thrill of running to the extreme, making people want to stop.

Now, my speed was so fast that it was hard to catch with the naked eye, and even if someone saw me, they would only see a residual shadow.

I heard this conversation once:

“Did someone just run by?”

“No, you’re blind, aren’t you?”

It seems that I have reached the state of “coming without a shadow, going without a trace”.

If you go further, even if you stare at me without looking away, you can’t see me clearly, you’ll only see a blur of light and can’t tell if it’s a person or a bird.

What would it be like if the Wind God Steps were cultivated to the Grand Completion Realm?

Maybe, even I don’t feel like I’m moving.

I ended up in a place no one would have expected.

Here, is the Red Mountain, the location of the Demon Sect’s main altar.

It is also the place where I obtained the first material of the “Return to Heaven Technique” – the “Yin Thunder Bell”.

Me, back again.
