Chapter 7 - Killing Intent

That afternoon, the both of them had an amazing barbeque to celebrate an amazing and successful hunt. The Spiking Warthog meat was really succulent and juicy. They both ate till their stomachs were bloated.

Feeling very satisfied, they both took a nap. After approximately 2 hours, Yun Xiao woke up.

He readied his mind to go to the Sword World. He named it such as his teacher was a master of the sword and also because he was transported into the world only after he touched The Executor's Sword.

Touching the sword, once again Yun Xiao found himself in the Sword World. Once again, he saw the corpses of humans and beasts all around. Steeling his nerves, he made his way to Sword Hill where he met his Teacher. When he reached the foot of the hill, he called out to his teacher.

"Teacher, your disciple is here."

Hearing no reply, Yun Xiao hesistated for a while before deciding to climb up the small hill of piled up corpses.

Gritting his teeth and holding his breath, he took the first step up. Halfway up the hill, he could no longer hold his breath. Trying to rush his climb up, his face red now, he accidently stepped on a corpse head and the head just caved in. Brain juices oozed out. Yun Xiao who at this mom3nt coukd no longer hold his breath, took in a huge breath now. Immediately, his sense of smell was assaluted by the stench of rotting corpses. He puked. With tears in his eyes, he continued his climb.

When he reached the top, he realized that it was a flat land of lush greenery. Surprised, he continued looking around. All around him were fruit trees and herb trees. One look and he could tell that these fruits and herbs were much higher quality than the normal dragon blood fruits.

"Xiao'er, you are finally here."

Yun Xiao heard his teacher before he saw him.

His teacher was sitting cross legged. All around him were swords. Each sword was emitting out a light. Listening carefully, he could hear a humming sound coming from the swords. It felt like the swords were alive and they were so happy.

"Come here and take that small green sword. That sword once once used by a man knowned as The Legendary Assasin. I sought him out hoping to have an amazing fight but who knew that he would be so weak and die after just one swing of my sword. I took his sword here and laid it together with all the other swords I have collected from everyone I have killed so far. His teacher pointed out to the smallest sword amongst the thousands of swords.

Yun Xiao walked up to the sword, it was lime green in colour. As soon as he grabbed the hilt of the sword, the sword which was humming earlier gave out an angry vibe. Yun Xiao felt like the sword wanted to slash him but due to the presence of his teacher, the sword only chose to gave out a angry vibe to show its displeasure. As soon Yun Xiao felt the angry vibe coming off from the small lime green sword, he immediately took his hand away from the hilt. Yun Xiao then looked at his teacher. Seeing his teacher ignore him, he stretched out hand again and reached for the sword hilt.

As soon as he touched the hilt of the Little Green Sword again, the angry humming came again. There was even killing intent coming out from the Little Green Sword this time. Yun Xiao did not let go. He closed his eyes and tried communicating with the sword.

"Oh Little Green Sword, please give me some face and dont be like this. I am just following Teacher's orders. Please dont make me look bad in front of Teacher."

Seeing that the Little Green Sword was emitting out even more killing intent, Yun Xiao panicked. The killing intent enveloped Yun Xiao. It was suffocating. Yun Xiao felt like he was like a helpless sheep facing a ferocious lion.

Yun Xiao knew that this was a test laid out by his teacher. Steeling his nerves, he inwardly prayed,

"Heavens, dont let me die here. I am only five years old. I havent seen or touched any beautiful women yet. I havent tasted alcohol yet. Teacher, save me please. Mother save me please.

Arghhhh, if I am going to die here, then so be it. I will take you down with me you little piece of green shit. So much for giving me face."

With that, Yun Xiao tightened his grip on the Little Green Sword. He lost track of how long he just stood there and faced the pressure coming off from the killing intent from the Little Green Sword.

After what seemed like ages, he felt the pressure subsiding. The killing intent was more bearable this time. A few more hour passed by and this time the killing intent he felt was so minuscule. He continued doing what he did. Just holding the hilt of the Little Green Sword and trying to patiently wait it out.

A few more hours passed but things did not improve. There was still the slight killing intent coming off from the Little Green Sword. This prevented Yun Xiao from picking up the Little Green Sword. He had long realized that in order to pick up the sword, there must be no kilping intent coming out frkm the sword.

"Something is not right here. I assumed that as long as I patiently waited it out, I would eventually be able to pick up this Little Green Sword. But this dosent seem to be working. Wait a minute, what is this killing intent actually? I have seen Teacher project it. Now this Little Green Sword can project it too. Is it possible for me to do it too?"

He started to think back to when he first held the sword. All the sensations he felt. Even now he could feel the killing intent coming out from the sword. He studied it. Right now he wished he had a Mind Clearing Pill on him. He made up his mind that next time before coming into the Sword World, he will definitely take a Mind Clearing Pill first.

Clearing his thoughts, he took in a deep breath.

"Maybe I should think about killing. I killed the Spiking Warthog today. I need to remember the details as it died. Maybe then I can project killing intent too. If I am not wrong, I think i understand what this killing intent is. But how do I project it outwards?"

With his mind in full concentrated mode, he tried to release killing intent too.

"Looks like he finally got it. He has understood the essence about killing intent. This is a lot faster than I anticipated. He really is a genius. Hahahaha, perhaps I will be able to get that battle sooner rather than later."

His teacher was now concentrated on him as well. Anticipating the moment he let out his first sliver of killing intent. Suddenly he noticed Yun Xiao's eye brows knitted.

"Is it coming now?" Yun Xiao's teacher looked on excitedly.

Yun Xiao himself felt like now he has totally understood killing intent.

Knitting his brows, he tightened up his body, finally ready to force out his own killing intent.

"Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutt".

Yun Xiao belched out a fart so loud that it totally eclipsed the killing intent coming out from the Little Green Sword.

Teacher =_=**!!

Yun Xiao opened up his eyes and looked at his teacher.

"I am sorry teacher. I did not mean to do that. I was trying to release killing intent not my farting intent. But try as I might, I do not know how to do so."

"Xiao'er, releasing killing intent should be the same as lifting your hand. It projects your desire to kill. Imagine saying out loud that you want to kill. But do not say it with words, rather let your intention be felt. Humans can show out emotions of anger, kindness or even sadness. Just by your mood, someone else may be able to tell if you are feeling happy or sad or angry. It is the same with killing intent. Your mood can convey it."

"I think I understand teacher. Allow me to try again."

This time, Yun Xiao held the hilt of the Little Green Sword and immediately the killing intent enveloped him once again. Yun Xiao looked directly at the Little Green Sword and tried to communicate qith it by his thoughts,

"I have a flame inside me that can melt you. It is rated number nine amingst the treasures of this world. It is called the Eternal Flame. If you still dare to resist me, I swear by the heavens that once I master the Eternal Flame , I will come back in here and the first thing I will do is melt you."

The Little Green Sword felt the solemness of his words and when Yun Xiao thought about melting the Little Green Sword, the killing intent from Yun Xiao totally overwhelmed the killing intent of the Little Green Sword.

At this moment, Yun Xiao felt that the killing intent from the Little Green Sword dissipate and he could lift pick the sword.

"Success." Yun Xiao cried out as he turned towards his teacher while lifting the Little Green Sword above his head.

"Good work Xiao'er. Now try to hone your killing intent to overwhelm all the swords here one at a time. I will give you a time limit of 3 months. Should you not master all the swords here in 3 months time, you have no need to continue learning from me. Come to my abode when you manage to complete your task. Whenever you wish to come in here, alm you need to do is touch the hilt of the Executor's Sword. And whenever you wish to leave, just touch the Little Green Sword from now onwards."

Yun Xiao knew that his teacher was pressuring him when his teacher gave him the time limit of three months. Feeling confident, he smiled at his teacher and said,

"Disciple thanks teacher for the oppurtunity. Rest assured that disciple will do his best to not let teacher down."

As soon as his teacher left Yun Xiao went to the Luttle Green Sword. Laughing too himself he cannot wait to see Little Gold's reaction when he portrays his majestic killing intent on Little Gold.
