William felt as if he had stepped into a hot spring. The warm water flowed around his body and enveloped his sword. The sword became even more solid, its patterns more magnificent, and it felt heavier in his hand. A sense of sublimation welled up within his body. The Primitive Magic Sword was repaired: Rank E***, and a new skill was acquired: Storm of Flying Birds. The magic sword could disintegrate and split into countless needles, piercing through everything around it.

  Current skills:

  1. Bloody Feedback: Killing an enemy allows one to plunder the enemy's soul and enhance the strength of the sword's master.

  2. Energy Blade: It can stimulate the sword master's energy and greatly extend the energy blade, with a +1 boost in the ability to break through defenses.

  3. Storm of Flying Birds: The magic sword can disintegrate and split into countless needles, piercing through everything around it.

  At the same time, a cluster of memories flooded into Kreo's mind. He also learned about the new skill of this sword. He rescued his sister from the tree and found out that his elder brother was still being held captive by the loan shark boss.

  He turned around coldly, his eyes filled with nothing but calmness. "Rescue my elder brother," he said.

  At night, in Pine Tree Town, at the residence of Lord Falau.

  There was no moon tonight, and there were only a few stars in the sky. In the entire city, only families as wealthy as Lord Falau's could keep the lights on throughout the night.

  At the brightly lit doorway, a sorrowful old man grabbed the shoes of two servants with his hands. "I beg you, please spare my daughter. She's still young and can't become Lord Falau's woman!"

  "Get lost, you lowly dog. So what if the lord wants to have fun with your daughter? In this Pine Tree City, there's no woman that the lord can't have," one servant showed no pity for the old man's hands. He directly stepped hard on the old man's hands with his shoe, while the other servant took out a stick and struck the old man in the face.

  Even though the old man was being beaten and kept pleading, he still begged for his daughter to be spared. The passersby nearby saw it but no one tried to stop it. It was simply because these were Lord Falau's servants, and even the town mayor and the sheriff wouldn't dare to go against Lord Falau.

  "Stop!" Kreo's palm steadily grasped the servant's stick. These two servants were ordinary people who had never practiced cultivation, and their bodies hadn't been strengthened by energy. Compared with his strength, they were like lambs compared to a lion.

  If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

  The servant who had been waving the stick was astonished that Kreo could so easily catch the stick. When he tried to yank it back with all his might, it was as if it was being squeezed by a hydraulic press and wouldn't budge an inch. Realizing that this man was a master, he no longer dared to act arrogantly and asked humbly, "Excuse me, sir. Are you here to see my master?"

  "Your mother is dead, and you're going to die too," he said calmly.

  "What?" The ill-tempered servant didn't seem to understand at first and asked again.

  "Your head looks like a frog's, your belly is like a pig's, your limbs are like a dog's, and your buttocks are like a goat's."

  This time, the servant finally realized that he was being insulted. The enraged servant discarded the stick and shouted, "You're courting death!"

  However, when this ordinary man's fist landed on Kreo's sturdy chest, it caused no harm at all. Instead, his hand was bruised by the hard muscles. Kreo didn't spare this villain. He drew out his magic sword and slashed off half of the servant's head. The mixture of red blood and white brains was extremely disgusting. The other servant seemed to want to fight back, but before he could lift his stick, his body was cut in half by the sharp sword, William.

  The sight of the dead men scared the old man on the ground half to death. Kreo helped the old man up and then looked up. In front of him was the huge gate of the manor, and the massive fortress loomed over him. In an instant, the energy blade swept across, just like a laser cutting through a steel plate. Four lines appeared on the tall iron gate. Ten seconds later, the upper part of the gate slid slowly open.

  "Who is it?"

  "Daring to kill Lord Falau's servants, you must be flayed alive and executed!"

  "Damn it! The gate has been destroyed."

  In the chaotic night, with disorderly footsteps, the servants lit torches, quickly found their knives and swords, and set out to capture William, who had broken in for revenge.

  "Kill!" A thunderous roar burst from Kreo's mouth. Lord Falau had lent his brother usurious loans, kidnapped his helpless brother, and destroyed his happy family.

  Holding the sword in his hand, he bypassed the evil servant and struck the servant's back of the neck hard with his elbow. Another person rushed over. Instead of parrying, Kreo moved even faster and pierced the man's neck with the Primitive Magic Sword. The sword flashed past the servant, and a head with a fierce expression dropped to the ground.

  Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned, he suddenly exerted his strength: Energy Blade.

  The sword blade composed of energy broke through all defenses. Just like a hot knife cutting through butter, it easily sliced these people in half.

  These people didn't even have time to figure out what was going on. By the time they realized that their upper bodies had been separated from their waists, Kreo had already passed by.

  He also burst out with energy, completely turning their bodies into a mass of minced meat.

  A huge amount of energy was transferred from the corpses into the sword. It was like drinking a glass of red wine, sweet, delicious, and warm. "It seems that if I kill a few more times, I can make an evolution," William thought.

  These evil servants had assisted Falau in his evil deeds. It had long been heard that when this tyrant saw a woman on the street who was even slightly beautiful, he would order these evil servants to snatch her away, regardless of whether she had a husband or not.

  After having his way with her just once, he would discard her, just like forgetting about a tattered piece of clothing.

  Killing these people who had aided in evil was not cruel, because they were not worthy of being called human.

  As he passed through the garden, the trees were neatly trimmed and there were beautiful flowers.

  "Slash!" Kreo suddenly unleashed an energy light sword to destroy all of these.

  In the distance, there came the low roars of an evil, destructive, bloodthirsty, and rampaging beast. Occasionally, there were also the sounds of tearing raw meat and chewing, as if ferocious beasts were fighting over food.
