Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Ma Jun's tensed up as he looked at Ren, even now he couldn't figure out how Ren got so close without anyone noticing him. Even now as he was looking at Ren it didn't feel like Ren was truly standing there.

Ma Jun probed Ren to see what realm Ren was in, but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't sense the other party's cultivation, in fact, based on what he sensed the other party was nothing more than a mortal man.

'So the rumors about him were true... No matter how you look at it he really is just a mortal man.'

Seeing the tense expression on Ma Jun's face, Ren shrugged his shoulders as he took out a slim sword from his shadow. Ren then pointed his sword at Ma Jun.

"Thank you for sparring with my disciple, unfortunately, he's not at the level where he can face you yet. So how about you play with me instead."

"Why would I do that?"

"Now don't say that, since you're already here how about you just accept my challenge. Even though you're obviously too weak to be my opponent but at least you have value as teaching material."

"You're a very arrogant challenger, and you should've left when you had the chance. Since you keep on insulting me, you should understand what's about to happen next."

Ma Jun's cold indifferent eyes look straight at the ever-smiling Ren. The blue and gold swords circled near Ma Jun.

"Oh, I understand what will happen next, but I don't think you understand it."

After he was done speaking Ren casually started walking forward. He was not moving too fast or too slow, his every movement was so natural that it made others feel like he was part of the background.

When Ren finally stood before him, Ma Jun was taken aback. He already saw Ren walking toward him but for some reason, he didn't do anything. It was like he was in some sort of trance. He was confused as Ren's body did not show any signs of wanting to attack, there was no killing intent, there was no stance, there was nothing he was just walking forward.

Ma Jun wanted to attack but before he could even flinch Ren's sword was already pointed at his neck. No one saw Ren moving his hand, but everyone could see that his sword was already ready for the kill.

The disciples of the Dajiao Sect had no words to say, as they watched how easily Ren defeated one of their more powerful Sect Guardian. Even in a Sect like theirs, a Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was strong, there were only a few people in the sect that could beat him so effortlessly in battle just like Ren did.

"See what did I tell you? You're too weak to be my opponent but barely enough for being a teaching material." Ren shrugged his shoulders as he placed the sword he was holding back into his shadow. Ren then walked towards the stunned Fang Mu.

"You see that... That's how you use the Formless Sword Style. There are no stances, there are no forms, and there is nothing but the natural flow. Reacting to everything that's happening and being one with the battle itself, that's the very essence of the style. I wanted to place my sword on his neck, so that's what I did, it's as simple as that. People of that guy's level wouldn't be able to resist the formless sword as he hasn't even comprehended the breath of all things. It would seem that he focused too much on his cultivation and his talent is mediocre at best. Instead of trying to increase his cultivation, he should've practiced his sword art more. Well, overall this supposed Sword Sect was a disappointment."

​ Fang Mu looked at his teacher and sighed, he already knew that his teacher didn't care that the Dajiao Sect has a long history and its hidden power runs deep. It didn't matter if the Dajioa Sect was hailed as the Strongest Sword Sect in the East region, to his teacher Ren they were nothing. Fang Mu already noticed the intense glare of the disciples of the Dajiao Sect that had surrounded them. Fang Mu could pretty much see the killing intent radiated in their eyes.

Ren also noticed this and he was feeling a tinge of excitement as his smile grew wider and wider. He then noticed a large fluctuation of Qi was gathering in their area.

"You are indeed strong, but you have insulted our Sect far too much, the dignity of our Sword Sect can never be tarnished. You and your disciple will be buried here today. Activate the Sword Array!" Ma Jun shouted at the other disciples.

"Fang Mu, do your best to protect yourself, if you don't survive this that only means you weren't worthy to be my disciple."

Fang Mu gritted his teeth as he stood up clenching his sword. "I will not disappoint you, Master."

Seven disciples surrounded Ren and Fang Mu and plunged their swords onto the ground. A burst of Qi then surrounded Ren and Fang Mu alongside the numerous disciples of the Dajiao Sect. This was their prized Sword Array, the Seven Spirit Sword Array.

Not only does it trap the opponents within the array, but it also strengthens the Sword Cultivators of the Dajiao Sect, advancing their Cultivation by one stage. Under this Sword Array, Ma Jun was at the first stage of the True Monarch Realm. Normally it could also be used to attack, but that's when the people activating it are at least in the Nascent Soul Realm, but right now the ones who activated it were just at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

They had no other option as most of the people who usually activated the array were out in the frontlines against the Demi-Gods. Still, they believed that this was enough to punish the arrogant Ren.

Seeing that they were done with their preparations, Ren gestured at the surrounding Dajiao Sect disciples to come and get him. Seeing the expression on Ren's face as well as seeing that hand gesture of his, infuriated the Dajiao Sect disciples. No longer able to hold their rage they charged at Ren.

As they got near, they saw that Ren didn't even take out his sword, which made the disciples even angrier than before. Their swords were about to slash down at Ren, but then they felt a massive force hitting their chins, abdomens, and their neck. That was the last thing they felt as they fell onto the ground unconscious. Several dozen disciples were incapacitated in a blink of an eye.

"Come on now, at least force me to use a weapon," Ren spoke while he shook his head raising his hands showing that he was unarmed.
