Chapter 85: Victory
Sage was very impressed now. Certainly, the kid was ballsy, but the impressive part was actually the sword and movement techniques he used. His sword would glow like the sun and blind his enemies, at the same time it was so hot it cut through their weapons and armor like they werent even there. On top of that he had a movement technique that gave him explosive speed like a shooting star. Wow, Im jealous of such good moves.
Sage hadnt ever practiced using a sword before. Back in the Lang Clan, just like everywhere else, it was one of the most commonly used weapons. They called it the Gentleman of Weapons and it was known to take the longest to learn and had the strongest offense. The spear and saber were the weapons of the battlefield, but the sword was the weapon that whole sects were based around. It wasnt as simple to learn or use as the other weapons but the versatility and single minded focus created so many legends that others wished to follow. It was said to gain competency took ten days for a saber, a hundred days for a spear, and a thousand days for a sword. Hearing this, Sage choose to use the longer weapons and gain the ability to strike from a distance. Everyone in the Clan was required to train with a staff, so learning spear techniques at the same time was much easier. He had wanted to devote as much time as possible to increasing his rank, but even then he was never a standout.
Seeing this youth in front of him that seemed so devoted to his sword, Sage was quite jealous. Perhaps if he had been so single-minded in training a single weapon he could also be so skilled. Heh, Id also need to have such a great Sword Technique as well.
He pulled to a stop and his fingers flashed across, slicing the Merchants throat just like the others. After that, Sage was surprised at how ruthless the kid was. He didnt let a single one of the porters go. Sage would have done the same to make sure there wasnt any evidence, but Sage figured the kid for a hot-headed hero. He didnt think hed be smart enough to pull up the problem at the root and make sure nobody came after him for this later. Once that was done, the kid came back and looked through the storage bags of the Merchant and his eight guards. He picked out a few treasures, ate a few pills, and then took the spirit stones before walking off down the road again.
Sage followed him for a while before he doubled back and exited the Chameleon Mantis. He sent the Mantis forward to make sure the kid didnt return as well, while Sage went through the rest of the dead peoples belongings. The youth had only grabbed their storage bags, he didnt even bother to check any of them for hidden belongings, nor did he even open up the backpacks the porters had dropped. Having worked with these caravans before, Sage knew most of the guards and Merchants would hide their true valuables in different places. Of course, Bandits also knew this, so it became a game of hide and seek. Because of this reason, and also to encourage repeat customers most bandits liked to leave their targets alive and became toll officers. They would try and guess a merchants worth and exact a fee to let the merchant pass.
Sage found a storage ring on the Merchants toe, chuckling as he washed it off first before taking it. The ring was the size of a closet, about four times larger than the cubic yard in most storage bags. This is where he kept his real valuables, just like how Sage found a few Spirit Jades in the boots of two guards, a leather necklace strung with gold rings on one of the porters, and a hidden second storage bag under the shirt of another guard. Stacking up the bodies, Sage cremated them and met back up with the Chameleon Mantis again before catching up with the Young Hero. He went through his spoils while following the swordsman. He found quite a few spirit stones, some spirit jades and pills, as well as a few more low level techniques. It was just like the bandits hed found.
