《The Lonely Wanderer》Chapter 35: Stirring The Pot
Advertisement
Walking more in-depth into the Cradle Of Souls, Shenzi unsheaths White Flame combining, his Sword Qi to bolster his Sabre Qi. Suppressing his cultivation, and relying upon his Fleshly Body and radiating Sabre Qi. Shenzi plays the sheep walking into the territory of mutant beasts.
With his scent drifting on the wind, many Mutant Beasts get itchy to gorge upon the walking feast.
Two leaders of a pack of Mutant Beast wolves gather their clan. Communicating with each other and relaying orders down the chain. With a medium size pack of 3,500 wolves. All move in Shenzi's direction in various groups encircling him.
With his Spirit Force actively viewing the encirclement tighten. Shenzi stands in place knowing any further movement on his end to be useless. Both leaders of the wolf pack howl, signalling the begin of their feast.
Relying purely on his Sabre techniques, standing tall like Atlas with the weight of the world on his shoulders. With each passing second, one more corpse litters the ground. Cleanly beheaded with no other damage to the body.
After killing half the wolf pack in ten minutes. Both leaders looked at each other if they reached the cultivation to speak, "This fucking human just played the sheep, only to bite us in the ass, mother fucker."
Howling a whimpering sound in retreat the pack disperses faster than they arrived. Watching the much smaller horde disappear, Shenzi continues his havoc while crossing deeper to reach the zone marked with a skull on his maps.
Killing packs, area tyrants, "marking" his territory, yelling out provocations. Unlike regular Mutants Beasts, Humanoids have gained human intelligence. Also, the ability that allows them to cultivate their Spirit Force. Because of such, Humanoid can achieve to form a human body. Gain insight into the Dao, learn weaponship, build factions, create abilities, and so on.
So while it seems stupid, it is much more effective than expected. Three hours passed since Shenzi had begun "Stirring the pot." Whether it be, he had walked into the Humanoids territory. Alternatively, with its intelligence. It still got provoked in the end.

Reacting with lightning-fast speed, the invisible Sabre that would have lopped anyone's head off. Shenzi reaches out with his thumb, index, and middle finger wrapped around clutching its blade. With sparks flying Shenzi meets the prey, he had spent much effort to provoke.
Looking up at the sky noticing it to still be far off from the morning, Shenzi smiles "Good evening mister or misses, you may be wondering why I had purposely strolled into your territory. Causing as much of the rucks as I have. I heard your dominant in the Sabre Dao, and I would like to take notes with you."
Standing 2.6m tall, with porcelain-like skin. With long red hair, blowing in the wind like a breeze carried by a fire. With sharp facial features that would put any male/female model to shame. Further accentuating the imposing stature of the Humanoid, wearing a full body armour designed with a celestial titan destroying worlds. On the side lays the Sabre this Humanoid is proud of most. Purely white with streaks of black flame, at the end hangs three bells, chiming with every movement.
Looking Shenzi up and down with its scarlet eyes raising the pressure of its Spirit Force by threefold, "Fool, you dare to prance around in my territory? You piss where ever you had found fit, killed my subordinates, and even yelled like a Jehovah witness coming to my doorstep. The fact I have not killed you where you stand is already benevolent enough."
Looking back at the Humanoid. Shenzi begins feeling stiff under pressure radiating off the Humanoid. "It seems like talking will get us nowhere how about this, If I lose, I will become your loyal subordinate or whatever the hell you want me to be. However, if you lose, you are to become my right-hand man and sharpest Sabre."
Snorting in disdain at Shenzi the Humanoid smiles, "Human you're courageous, unlike the others who would run away. You instead provoked me to come out your confidence is high. I will give you a chance of what you're asking for." Within milliseconds of finishing its sentence, the Humanoid had already swung its Sabre. Without any ding lang dang from the three bells.

Shenzi slashes out with White Flame horizontally, clashing with the Humanoid's Sabre. Following a sea of sparks erupting, the surrounding rubble and rocks turning into fine dust. With neither backing off, and both eying each other planning their follow-ups.
Vibrating his wrist, Shenzi swipes up with White Flame, arching his body 45-degrees to the right-hand side. Sweeping out with his left leg, just like a meteor flying through the endless sea of stars. The deadly kick stopped by the Humanoid's forearm guards. Twisting his leg around the Humanoid's arms clenching his leg closed. With its arm lock between Shenzi's calf and glutes. Shenzi with a tremendous amount of core strength. Taps off the ground with his right leg, popping the formed pockets of air behind his right leg. Connects with the Humanoid's head, sounding out with a loud TING.
Clenching down hard on his teeth an honest yet straightforward, "fuck" could not help but escape Shenzi's mouth from the stinging pain. Just like the first time even avoiding Shenzi's territory ability, the Humanoid's Sabre appears out of mid-air slashing three-centimetres down Shenzi's chest. Reeling in shock because that strike used 2/3rds of its full strength, all it had left was a pretty tickle with close to no blood drawn.
Enveloping his fist with his Retribution Flames, Shenzi punches out aiming for the Humanoid's throat. Blocking Shenzi's punch with ease, the Humanoid lowers its centre of gravity, sweeping its leg underneath Shenzi's feet. Leaping a few inches off the ground avoiding the sweep, Shenzi envelops his leg with Retribution Flames. Kicking out at the Humanoid's head once again, "I do not believe your head is undying like those stupid cockroaches."
Shenzi's leg connects with the Humanoid's head, and the Humanoid pushed back fifteen metres. Leaving two long skids through the earth. Dumbfounded and feeling rage it can't help but feel cheated, "You wretched human you're just like the others." Smirking to himself, Shenzi can't help but reply with a smart ass remark. "You never said the use of the fleshly body, was not apart of this fight."
The Humanoid's scarlet eyes go multiple shades deeper. "Fine, you shameless bastard of a human." Dashing towards Shenzi in a high speed, slashing out and incorporating various forms of martial techniques. Shenzi clashes back body with body, and Sabre with Sabre. Feeling the thrill of fighting another, who is a battle maniac just like himself.
Forty-five minutes pass, with the intense battle Shenzi's Sabre Dao, reaches the peak of breaking through but with no further momentum. For ordinary people, this fight would lead to them breaking through in the Sabre Dao. However, Shenzi is not normal, with his temperament way before cultivating, being ahead of others. While this was beneficial for himself, it is still far from pushing him to reach Sabre World.
Having had his fill for this fight, seeing no more techniques to improve. Shenzi decides its time to put an end to it. Slashing down with a speer multiple times more superior than the Humanoid. White Flame cuts through the armour of the Humanoid with ease. Slashing through its fleshly body, like a heated knife through butter. Shenzi spares the Humanoid's life,
wrapping it up in his Nature Qi. Unlike to malignant souls, the Nature Qi does not purify the Humanoid. Instead, it heals and even improving its cultivation, foundation, and lastly but not least the Sabre Heart.
"Remember this your words weigh more than gold does. You have accepted this bet, and you had best hold up on your end. Otherwise, this entire fight is an insult to me."
Even with his major in the Sabre, and the Sword Dao. Weapons are breakable if all you rely on is your weapon. When it breaks your life is no longer in your own hands, with every training Shenzi incorporates bodily tempering, martial techniques to combine with his Sword and Sabre Dao.
