Hunter becomes the Hunted

It has been Two days Since Tang ming started Heading north Using his 9th stage Cultivation base and His Body strength Tang ming could reach an astonishing speed

During this time he has encountered A lot of Beasts But as he was heading deeper into north the strength of the beasts kept going down

During this time The system also activated The storage Function which can store any item indefinitely no matter the size but he has to come in Physical contact with the item for it to store

Because of the storage tang ming Journey was even more smooth sailing.

During the travel Tang ming also learned to use his sword more often

[ Demon slayer ]

which he has neglected for the longest time

when He was looking through the storage he had also spotted A mental Cultivation Technique called the heart Mantra it was a Immortal Grade mental Cultivation Technique that does not improve Cultivation But helps train the temperament and strengthen Dao heart of The user

Tang ming has been training both the sword and the mental Cultivation for the past two days and he has made significant Progress in both thanks to The Body of ancients which gives a 20x boost to Cultivation speed

Currently Tang ming was resting under a century old tree when He noticed several People surround him from all sides

Tang ming slightly frowned

'Is this the famous Bandit Cliche'

Tang ming thought as he stood up and licked up his sword

"Come Out I know you are there"

With that a muscular man with a scar on his face along with Six other Came out of the woods as They surround him

" Not bad Kid, You managed to Find us Congratulations"

The man Presumably the bandit leader sneered at Tang ming in a Sarcastic tone

"Well This is my first time Seeing Someone as ugly as you You scar face bastard"

tang ming taunted back at the bandits with a grin

" You have quite the gal Kid To not cower in front of us " one of the man behind scar face said as he inched closer

"Am I supposed to know who you are?"

Tang Ming asked with a tilted head

"Off course a low born like you would not know of use we are the Seven Demons"

another man shouted at Tang ming clearly This kid did not take his group he wanted to scare Tang ming with their name

but he was bound to be disappointed with tang Ming's answer

"Never heard of You, and I don't need to know since you guy won't Exist after today"

With that Tang Ming raised his sword and slashed Horizontally at the Seven Men, The power behind the Slash was soo strong That The surrounding space Started to Vibrate

The bandits were Taken aback By this, Especially the leader he was a very cautious man that is how he survived in the Otter area of Far flung Mountain he clearly Examined The Young boys Cultivation to be at the peak of Qi Condensation But the strength behind the Slash had clearly reached The Necsent-soul Realm, all of them were quick to react as they each circulated their Cultivation to Dodge the attack But In front of Tang Ming's Tyrannical might Only The bandit leader managed to Survive The sword ray but he had to sacrifice an arm, The bandit leader looked at Tang Ming Who was smiling at him

Cold sweat Dipping down his Robe

"Ahh~~ how the tables have turned, Its quite Funny isn't it how you and your men were Trying to rob me just a few moments ago now their cold body is Laying in the ground"

Tang ming Mocked the Surviving bandit leader as he Slowly made his way to the Fallen bandit

"You monster" This was The bandits last word before his head was rolling on the ground

"I would not have killed you If you didn't come after my life, Its a kill or be killed world you cannot blame me" Tang ming Said as he tried to keep his balance.

Killing humans is different from killing beasts and Tang ming learned that First hand today

But after all that he felt No emotions Towards the dead bandits

"That's weird I don't feel anything about what I have done, in a way it felt extremely satisfying to watch the head rolling on the ground, Maybe I was always like this but I never realized it "

Soon Tang Ming's Thoughts wondered off as he collected The loot from the bandits and Their lair that was in a cave close by

Tang ming Decided to stay in the cave for the night the Beasts Around here were only at the Core Formation realm so they Aren't a threat to Tang Ming

The next Day Tang Ming Reached The Bottom of the mountain where he saw Path leading in three directions he took the north path as he Slowly made his way in search of Civilization

After walking for Another hour He finally spotted a majestic looking Will that went as farm as the eye could see and a Huge Intimidating Gate with Convoys Going in and out of It constantly As tang ming Slowly made his way to line up with the Train of Convoys he noticed an un usual tension in the air and A lot of guards Dressed in military Clothes checking each and every single Convoys

Soon it was almost sunset when it was Tang Ming's Turn a soldier quickly came up to him

"Name , Where are you from and purpose of visit"

"Tang ming, I come from the mountain range in the south, My master wants me to travel around to gain experience "

" Hmm "

The Soldier nodded as he Took out a piece of jade from his pocket

" Normal Entry 100 Copper

VIP Entry 1000 Gold "

hearing the price Tang Ming's Eyes twitched None stop

'Why is there such a big difference between VIP and commoner'

Dispite his Dissatisfaction he payed 100 copper that he got from the bandit lair and made his way into the city

As soon as he stepped inside the city gate a cold mechanical Ding echoed in his mind Palace

[ Ding Quest Complete ]

[ Does host want the reward now ]

Tang ming was super excited altho the reward for the system is Not what he needs It can be used in different ways , after asking around for a bit Tang ming Finally found a good inn to stay, He went to his room and took a bath and Then went to sleep Anticipating How Things will turn out Tomorrow

Tomorrow will mark the Real start of Tang Ming's Journey
