The Urban Dao Child

In front of Yang Dao, a Daemon appeared. This guy was different from all the other Daemons they have faced till now, with horns of a bull, legs of a goat, fangs of a tiger bulky, clear humane eyes. The intelligence of this Daemon was far higher than the beasts before.

The Daemon, saw the boy sitting in front of him and said in an eery voice, “So, this little puppy will be my dinner and the key to freedom.”

…

Outside the isolated space, Sun Eckhart said, “Saint-level Daemon, it has been a long time since I came across one.”

The others also expressed the same with a nod, the aura emanated by them became harsh and offensive. Sun Eckhart said, “Edler Cao, if this creature manages to come out, you will protect the disciples and I will fight this thing.”

Elder Cao wanted to say otherwise, but hearing the solemn voice he nodded with a bowed head. Who made Sun Eckhart the sect master. The disciples were all shocked at the moment. Some girls even held hands as they looked at Yang Dao sitting on the ground like a monk, with a hideous creature leering at him.

Yue Jing could not help but have tears in her eyes. She did not want to give up her trust in the child but she could not do anything to reform herself that the child will come out safe.

…

The Daemon looked at Yang Dao and said, “Kid, are you dead from the pressure of my aura that you cannot even move?”

The child did not react and kept sitting on the ground, this made the Daemon angry and in a blink, he appeared in front of the child with his hideous claws stretched to grab him. But all of a sudden, Yang Dao vanished from his spot.

A shing sound rang in the surroundings. Yang Dao stood in the void above the Daemon, with azure wings behind his back. His body was covered with dazzling armor engraved with a dragon. The sword in his hand buzzed slightly issuing the shing sound. His face was calm like water.

The Daemon smirked and used a backhanded claw slash to attack Yang Dao. The boy only moved back slightly and the claw missed him by half an inch. Yet, there was no effect on his body or his face. The people were shocked at the moment. The center of his brow was glowing with a golden light.

…

Lysa spotted the glow and said, “Is he breaking through to the nascent soul realm?”

Sun Eckhart nodded and said, “He is.” a faint smile surfaced on his face, and his eyes were brimming with pride.

Elder Cao asked, “Was his cultivation not only at the peak of fourth grade of Golden Core Realm? How can he jump to the Nascent Soul realm? This secret technique can leave his foundation to be useless.” the old man put forward his worries. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

The disciples heard this and they became even more worried. Just when the other sect masters were about to say something about this matter Sun Eckhart burst into laughter. The voice was so strong that the disciples all sensed this laughter reverberated with their bodies. Cal was being nudged by his fellow disciples to ask what was going on.

Cal gulped and asked, “Sect Master, why are you laughing?”

Sun Eckhart calmed down a bit and said, “My disciple had reached the peak of Golden core realm, before the trial started, he just asked me to put on a few seals on his cultivation so that he does not damage his foundation by progressing too quickly. This all happened during your time in the array for final practice. The idea was to slowly master the seals and unlock them when needed, in the meantime, he would focus on his soul too. I did not find a flaw in this way of development and agreed. But it looks like, his knowledge of arrays has helped him unlock the seals on his body to reach this level so fast.”

The other sect masters all looked at him like they were fools. This pair of master and disciple has been holding back since the beginning. What was even more, this ten-year-old was leveling with some of the deacons and elders of the sects in terms of cultivation level. Was it not equal to saying, “Old people, you all wasted your lives?”

…

Yang Dao avoided the attack of the Daemon and his sword flashed. A big azure slash appeared in the void and landed on the right shoulder of the Daemon, followed by both visual and sound effects.

The attack was not strong enough to cut off the arm, but it did cut off the tendons connecting the arm to the muscles. The roar came because Yang Dao had controlled his spirit energy to cover the wound from inside, isolating the blood of the Daemon to flow in and heal the wounds. The pain from the invasion of foreign spirit energy caused the Daemon to scream in pain.

Yang Dao’s face did not fluctuate, while the Daemon roared, “You little shit, I will erase you. ARGHHH.” and he attack with his other hand as he jumped.

The Dao Child avoided the attack again and his sword flashed one more time followed by another roar. Yang Dao watched the Daemon suffering in pain and asked, “Did you ever think, that those whom you hurt would have suffered the same? What about those who lost their precious ones because of you losing your humanity?”

The Daemon yelled, “Don’t you preach to me you son of a bitch. You righteous people can shove the righteousness up your asses for all I care. Fuck you…”

Yang Dao frowned and said, “Your vocabulary is as obscene as your appearance.”

When the Daemon roared, Yang Dao raised his left hand and snapped his fingers. What followed was a chunk of flesh detaching from the mouth of the Daemon, and falling on the ground as the creature bled.

…

The disciples were watching the scene unfolding with shocked gazes. This child was scary they all thought. While the elders revealed a smile. Lysa said, “Sun, your disciple, is strong.”

The others also complimented and Sun Eckhart felt his chest grow by one size. The smile never left his face. His disciple was decisive when it came to attacking the dealing with the Daemons.

…

Inside the isolated space, Yang Dao said, “You are a blemish to nature and all its creations. You gave up the fight against your destiny and succumbed to this horror, harming everything and everyone including yourself. You shall cease to exist. Cleansing Ember.”

The sword in his hand glowed with amber light and the blade dismantled into sparks like fireflies, they all landed on the body of the Daemon, slowly burning it to ashes. After the process was finished, Yang Dao landed on the ground and the sparks came back to his sword. The trial spirit said, “The trial is complete, Congratulations to the paragons.”
