Chapter 8 - The Boundless Guide

All of sudden out rushes a man from the wood and puts his knife next to the girl’s neck who had no precautions.

“If you move again, I will kill her!” The black man whispers. “Of her identity, you should be aware. If she is dead because of you, you will not end well!”

Lu Yun glares at the man in black and says, “I hate most those who threaten me!”

Seeing that Lu Yun does not compromise, the man in black says, “Since you want to die, …” But at the sight of the blue flash coming from Lu Yun’s saber, he fell to death without knowing what Lu Yun has done.

The cut was so fierce and fast that his blood spurted out after he has fallen to the ground.

“You…” the man in black eventually died before he could finish his words.

He never thought that the youngster coming from nowhere has grasped the creative concept of saber which takes others ten or twenty years to do so.

The girl in yellow recovers from the shock, tapping herself on the chest.

Recalling what Lu Yun has displayed, she doesn’t understand exactly what is his level but she saw his strength.

Lu Yun walks up to her and asks, “Are you injured?”

“No… no! Thank you.” the girl replies softly.

Returning the saber to the girl, Lu Yun says “I’ll walk you home.”

“Yeah.” the girl nods, “I don’t know your name yet. Mine is Chen Dan.”

“Lu Yun, an ordinary member of clan Lu.”

Chen Dan questions, frowning, “Why? Clan Lu is so strong? Having an ordinary member like you? I guess you want to hide your real strength.”

Lu Yun doesn’t defend. He really doesn’t know how to explain.

However, he never thought that he could have saved Miss Chen.

The two come back to the city gate without any delay. The girl’s bodyguards are ready to come out of the city to look for her. They run to them, pale-faced, seeing that she is back with Lu Yun.

“We failed to protect you, miss. Please punish us!” The chief of the guards squats on one knee.

“I came out of home by myself. It has nothing to do with you. Fortunately, Mr. Lu Yun saved me!” Chen Dan says, turning her head to Lu Yun.

The chief looks at Lu Yun gratefully seeing Chen Dan’s smile.

Without Lu Yun having saved Chen Dan, he might lose his life too.

Before taking departure, Chen Dan gives Lu Yun a jade pendant telling him to look for her at her family residence when he needs help and that seeing the jade, the doorkeepers will know what to do.

Lu Yun accepts the jade.

The jade will be very helpful to Lu Yun in the future.

Lu Zixuan is bewildered hearing the story. Didn’t Lu Yun go to chase a thief? Why did it turn out to save the girl’s life?

On their way back, Lu Yun tells her what happened. She cannot believe her ears.

…

It is late at night when Lu Yun’s back home because of what happened to Chen Dan. Lu Bo has left because of another task given by the clan. Lu Yun doesn’t feel like to sleep. He takes out the tattered volume he bought in the afternoon.

After close examination, Lu Yun finds that it is a human level method of superior quality. But it is incomplete.

“Oh! What a pity.” Lu Yun puts it aside and takes out his volume of static qigong.

He leaves the two volumes together on his pillow, thinking of reading them before he goes to sleep after his energy cultivation.

Then he closes his eyes and starts his practice.

Suddenly, Lu Yun hears strange sounds as if a mouse is biting something.

If there is any mouse in the house, you should be able to detect it with his current cultivation.

Lu Yun opens his eyes and looks for the source of the sound.

As a result, he sees an amazing scene. The broken volume is actually devouring the volume of static qigong.

Lu Yun is thrilled, watching what’s happening.

The tattered volume devours the other volume as if it has been starving for a long time.

After devouring the other volume, it becomes quiet.

Before Lu Yun touches it, the originally ragged volume begins to change. It becomes a thicker volume with brand new pages and a bronze-edged cover.

“The… the volume is capable of engulfing others!” Lu Yun says in amazement.

In the memory about his previous life, there are some advanced in age told the children legendary stories. One of them said that some ancient method of martial arts can engulf others to upgrade.

A low-level method can become an unparallel masterpiece through constant devouring the volumes of other methods.

“Am I that lucky?”

Lu Yun reaches out suspiciously to touch the volume. Suddenly, a more powerful warmth circulates in his body, making him feel the incomparable comfort.

Then, he picks up the book and opens the first page. The name of the martial art appears, the will surely surpass the static qigong.

Lu Yun says to himself, “It seems that I have found a way to change my destiny!”
