Supreme Sword Exalt

Chief He beamed when he noticed the demoness. “My son has good taste! Hahaha... Truly beautiful! I’ve never seen you here before. I didn’t expect the little Wangxiang Village to have such great beauty! Tsk tsk, you didn’t tell me in advance. How disrespectful!”

The old man’s heart sank, and he quickly stood in front of the demoness. “Ah Yin!”

Unable to see her anymore, the young man grew anxious. His dull gaze was filled with greed and viciousness. “Dad... Wife... I want a wife...”

Chief He wore a doting expression. “Alright. As the immortal master's younger brother, you can marry whoever you want! Besides, with our stronghold’s strength, she’ll lack nothing if she marries you. She’ll actually be the one who'll benefit from it! Come with me and be my son’s wife! I’m not an unreasonable person!”

The way he lecherously and greedily gazed at the demoness already betrayed his thoughts.

Then, Chief He pointed at the Mountain Lord’s corpse. “You can keep a tenth of the Mountain Lord’s meat! Consider it a betrothal gift. How generous of me, right?! I gave you enough to marry a hundred wives!”

The old man was too angry to speak straight. “Y-you’re bullying us too much!”

Da Zhuang’s eyes turned red. “Dad, let’s fight them to the death!”

In an instant, Er Zhuang and more than ten young men of the hunting team also stepped forward one after another, full of indignation.

“Right, we can’t let them take Sister Ah Yin!”

“They’re no good!”

Uncle Wang immediately raised his sword. “Son of a bitch! Who do you take us for?! Not all of us are spineless! Whoever dares touch her, we’ll fight them to the death!”

At the same time, the non-combatants also stepped forward one after another. United in their hatred, they guarded their meat with their lives. Even honest people would explode if pushed too far.

“Get ready! Whoever moves, shoot them dead.” Chief He laughed coldly, clearly not taking them seriously. He then glanced greedily at the demoness again. “But don’t hurt my daughter-in-law!”

Just then, Gu Han said, his tone filled with intense coldness, “Uncle Wang, that’s a nice sword. Can you lend it to me?”

Given his current state, opening the storage ring was extremely difficult. Of course, he didn’t have to use the black sword to deal with these people at all.

The old man wore a look of absolute resolve. “Young man, this is our village’s matter, my granddaughter’s matter. You shouldn’t—”

Uncle Wang sighed. “He’s right! I know you’re capable, but behind them, there are immortal masters...”

“Immortal masters? Nonsense!” Gu Han laughed mockingly. He glanced at the demoness and smiled. “And this is my matter!”

Awed by his aura, Uncle Wang couldn’t say a single word of refusal. He had no choice but to hand over the sword. Within Gu Han’s grasp, it immediately let out a clear hum.

Gu Han’s aura changed as an extra hint of sharpness appeared on him. “Nice sword. Where did it come from?”

Uncle Wang smiled bitterly. At a time like this, he still has the mind to ask such a question?

Gu Han could kill the Mountain Lord, so Chief He didn’t dare be the least bit careless. He immediately retreated behind the crowd of young men. “Fire! Shoot him dead! I don’t care how great he is. There’s no way he can block our arrows!”

Instantly, twenty or thirty bows aimed directly at Gu Han.

Gu Han’s expression remained blank as he stepped forward. “You guys want to die? Come try then.”

His sword gleamed coldly, pointed straight at the crowd. The killing intent in his eyes alone made their hands tremble uncontrollably.

As if dissatisfied with just seeing her, the young man drooled and reached out to embrace the demoness. “Wife... Wife...”

Just then, a sword was pointed at his brow, sinking into the flesh. Blood continuously flowed down, and the pain made him wail and yell, his eyes full of viciousness and resentment. “Blood... blood... Dad... Kill him...!”

He was extremely perverse and violent in nature, usually throwing his weight around the Shiyuan Stronghold.

He fixed his gaze on Gu Han. “You... die... I want... find a wife...”

Gu Han’s eyes narrowed again. “You want a wife? Die, and you wouldn’t want one anymore!”

Chief He shouted anxiously, “How dare you! If you dare harm a single hair on my son’s head, I’ll make you—”

The sword swept across the young man’s neck, and his head fell to the ground.

Chief He’s eyes split with rage, nearly losing his mind. “Fire!!! Kill him! Kill him! My son can come back the day after tomorrow. Everyone, charge! Whoever can kill him, I’ll have my son teach him immortal arts! Hurry...”

These words seemed to give the young men boundless motivation. Over twenty sharp arrows rained upon Gu Han.

Gu Han expressionlessly swung his sword until it almost turned into a blur. He swayed slightly as he blocked every single arrow. While he could dodge, the villagers behind him would surely suffer greatly.

Before the second wave of arrows came, he swayed and crossed several zhang, appearing among the young men in an instant. Gu Han swung his sword without pause, sometimes lifting, sometimes stabbing, sometimes thrusting—each strike landing with precision and speed.

Cold light flashed, blood blossoms scattered, and screams rose continuously. In just a moment, only Chief He remained standing. He held his son’s head in his hands, his eyes blood red, looking like a mad demon. “You killed my son... There’s something wrong with him! He’s ill, and you could still strike—”

Gu Han raised an eyebrow. “Ill? Who told you everyone who’s ill is pure and kind-hearted? And you want to eat the meat, even if it means the villagers would have to starve to death? Your son is precious, but theirs aren’t? They’re honest and kind-hearted, so they deserve to be bullied to death by you? There’s no logic in that, is there?”

“I—”

The sword light flashed again, and Chief He’s head hit the ground.

Gu Han flicked the blood off the sword. “I wasn’t asking you. I was just venting.”

The mountain folk had never seen such a bloody scene. Apart from those in the hunting team who were somewhat alright, the others were completely terrified.

Gu Han sighed after seeing the looks in their eyes.

A woman then pulled the little boy beside her and knelt on the ground. The others followed suit. Even though fear still lingered in their eyes, it was not because of Gu Han. They knelt because Gu Han was honest and kind-hearted.

Gu Han smiled. “Get up and eat the meat. The Mountain Lord’s meat is still somewhat beneficial for you.”

Then, he glanced at the two brothers, whose legs were shaking a bit. “You two have strength. Help clean up.”

Forcefully suppressing their fear, they called the young men of the village and began cleaning up, carrying away the corpses.

Without delay, Gu Han then went to the demoness’s side to check Ah Nan’s injuries. She was badly injured. If not treated in time, she wouldn’t last two days.

Even so, the little girl still couldn’t stop thinking about that piece of meat. “Meat...”

Gu Han sighed, picked up the piece of meat that belonged to her, and handed it to her. “Here you go.”

Ah Nan’s words were barely a whisper. “Sister Ah Yin...”

She weakly pushed the meat toward the demoness. “I’m going to find my parents... You have the meat...”

Everyone’s hearts ached. They no longer feared those corpses as much, feeling that their deaths were well deserved.

The demoness patted her head. “You won’t die. You haven’t worn the new clothes and new shoes I made for you yet...”

Gu Han also smiled. “With me here, you won’t die.”

As a Heavenly Demon, the demoness found pills and such of little use. She never carried such things on her. Coming to Wangxiang Village had been an accident, so she hadn’t prepared anything in advance.

However, that was not the case for Gu Han. Any single one he took out of his storage ring would be a treasure people would fight over.

The key now was opening the storage ring.
