Chapter 3: I’ve Wanted to Hit You for a Long Time

In the Qingyang Sword Sect, Reflection Cave on the Back Mountain.

Xiao Yang suddenly opened his eyes while sitting cross-legged in the cave.

“Demon Qi…”

He stood up abruptly and walked out of the cave, looking up to see dozens of Sword Lights swirling in the air above Qingyang Peak, battling against several Demon Shadows.

The Sword Qi was overwhelming, and the Demon Qi was surging.

The sword practitioners of Qingyang Sword Sect were locked in a fierce battle with the invading forces of the Demon Sect.

Terrifying fluctuations rippled in all directions.

All the disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect were shaken awake.

Figures were darting around the mountain, and countless disciples were shouting and running everywhere.

“How is this possible…”

Xiao Yang was in shock; he clearly remembered that in his past life, the Demon Sect did not attack the Qingyang Sword Sect at this time!

Could it be that his reincarnation changed some events?

“Good gracious!”

Xiao Yang suddenly thought of something.

The next moment, a red Sword Light shot out from behind a large rock nearby, aimed directly at him.

A heart-stopping Sword Qi erupted instantly.

“Crimson Demon Sword?”

Xiao Yang was taken aback; it was just as he suspected.

He lunged forward a step.

That red Sword Beam narrowly brushed past his back.

Xiao Yang flipped his right hand, and Sword Lights began to gather, immediately forming a glowing sword in his hand.

A figure in black stepped out from behind the rock, using the Sword Controlling Technique to command the Crimson Demon Sword.

The red Sword Light twisted in mid-air and charged towards Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang sneered, swinging his sword.

A sharp Sword Beam rushed out from his hand and struck the red Sword Light fiercely.

The Sword Light formed by the Crimson Demon Sword was immediately deflected.

“Your cultivation wasn’t sealed?”

The black-clad man exclaimed.

Xiao Yang’s face darkened; he thrust his sword directly at the black-clad man.

The Sword Light, like a bolt of lightning, instantly pierced the black man’s left shoulder, a cloud of blood mist bursting forth from the wound.

The black-clad man was blasted backward, yet in mid-air, he could still call back the Crimson Demon Sword.

A red Sword Light enveloped the black-clad man and soared into the sky, disappearing into the night in an instant.

Xiao Yang didn’t pursue.

He gazed thoughtfully in the direction the black-clad man fled.

Soon, the experts from the Demon Sect attacking the Qingyang Sword Sect retreated as well.

“A feint to kill me? You’re so impatient?”

Xiao Yang chuckled, and the flying sword in his hand transformed into wisps of Sword Qi that flowed into his body, gathering into a Sword Pellet in his Dantian. Pure Sword Qi diffused from the Sword Pellet, flowing through his meridians, nourishing his muscles and bones.

This was the Sword Qi Body Refinement Technique of a sword cultivator.

Earlier during the day, his master Jiang Qitian had sealed his cultivation with Sword Qi, but it wasn’t long after he arrived at Reflection Cave that he expelled the Sword Qi blocking his power.

“Oh, Qin Fei, after lying low for ten years, you finally showed your fangs.”

Xiao Yang knew all too well this was Qin Fei’s doing.

Qin Fei was a spy sent by the Demon Sect to infiltrate the Qingyang Sword Sect.

In his past life, he learned Qin Fei’s true identity too late.

But in this life, Qin Fei held no secrets in Xiao Yang’s eyes.

After killing him, with Qin Fei’s talent, he would soon become the Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect and implement his plans.

“Qin Fei, since you want to be the Sect Holy Son so badly, let me give you a hand!”

Xiao Yang said, turning and stepping back into Reflection Cave.

All night, no one came to check on him.

Not his master, not his junior sister, and not his fellow brothers; it was as if everyone had forgotten him.

Xiao Yang felt an immense calm within.

Because he no longer cared.

However, the next day, two uninvited guests arrived.

“Senior Brother…”

Early in the morning, the voice of his junior sister Jiang Ting echoed from outside Reflection Cave.

Inside the cave.

Xiao Yang sat on a large stone in front of the wall, exhaling a breath of turbid air before slowly opening his eyes.

He stood up from the stone and jumped down, walking out of Reflection Cave.

In his past life, when he meditated in the Back Mountain, his junior sister had never come to visit him even once.

Because she was busy training with Qin Fei.

At this moment in his past life, it was the annual outing for the young disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect.

Originally, it would have been Xiao Yang leading the disciples down the mountain.

But due to Qin Fei’s scheme, he was punished to face the wall on the Back Mountain.

Thus, this year, the outing was led by his second junior brother Zheng Fan.

During this outing, Qin Fei not only plotted to cause the death of the third junior brother but also pretended to save his junior sister, winning the fame of a hero sacrificing themselves for their fellow disciple.

From then on, his junior sister became even more protective of her savior.

Yet after his rebirth, things had changed.

When Xiao Yang saw Qin Fei behind Jiang Ting, his expression changed dramatically.

Qin Fei’s face was pale, but upon seeing Xiao Yang, he forced a smile.

“Senior Brother…”

Qin Fei stammered.

Seeing this, Xiao Yang couldn’t help but sneer; this guy was acting again.

“Senior Brother, this is the meal I prepared with the junior brother, all your favorite dishes.”

Jiang Ting said as she handed over the food box she was holding to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang didn’t take it.

“Junior Sister, I truly don’t know where I offended Senior Brother. You see, Senior Brother still won’t forgive me.”

Qin Fei spoke nervously.

“Senior Brother, why do you always target the junior brother? What did the junior brother do to offend you? Speak up, let’s clear this up. If it’s the junior brother’s fault, I’ll make him apologize. If it’s all just your unreasonable tantrum, then that’s too much,” Jiang Ting said angrily.

“Am I being unreasonable, Junior Brother?”

Xiao Yang stepped closer, patted Qin Fei on the left shoulder.

Qin Fei let out a pained grunt.

“Senior Brother, what are you doing?!”

Jiang Ting rushed to stand in front of Qin Fei, shielding him from view.

“Junior Brother, I’m sorry. It was my fault; I shouldn’t have targeted you or framed you. You’re magnanimous, so let’s not dwell on this. I apologize, and you two can leave now, alright?”

Xiao Yang really didn’t want to see these two.

Having just patted Qin Fei’s shoulder, he already knew who the black-clad man from last night was.

“Senior Brother you…”

Jiang Ting still wanted to say something.

“Get lost!”

Xiao Yang roared at Jiang Ting.

“You… you just yelled at me?”

Jiang Ting’s eyes turned red, on the verge of tears.

Her senior brother had never yelled at her since they were young.

“Just stop bothering me, okay?”

Xiao Yang replied coldly. In his past life, seeing Jiang Ting sad would have crushed his heart, and he would have immediately tried to comfort her, but after living again, whether Jiang Ting was sad or not meant nothing to him.

“Senior Brother, what’s wrong with you?”

Jiang Ting panicked, sensing that her current senior brother felt like a completely different person, giving her a sense of cold estrangement.

She stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yang’s hand.

“I told you to get lost!”

Xiao Yang shook Jiang Ting off forcefully.

She stumbled slightly, almost falling over.

“Senior Brother, what are you doing?!”

Qin Fei rushed up to push Xiao Yang.

“Do you dare to touch me?”

Xiao Yang’s eyes instantly turned sharp. This spy from the Demon Sect had once severely harmed him in his previous life.

He almost couldn’t stop himself from taking him out right then and there.

But taking him out now would be too easy for him.

He wanted to wait, wait until Qin Fei reached the pinnacle of his life, wait until Qin Fei thought he had achieved great things and was feeling accomplished, wait until he felt invincible and believed he could control everything, then he would stomp this guy down from the heights of glory into the depths of despair.

That would be sweet revenge.

But for now, I won’t be lenient with you.

“Bang!”

Xiao Yang suddenly kicked Qin Fei away.

“Junior Brother…”

Jiang Ting was momentarily stunned at the sight.

“I’ve wanted to hit you for a long time.”

Xiao Yang lunged forward, directly punching and kicking the fallen Qin Fei.
