Incarnation Of The Overlord

Chapter 06

A gentle breeze whistled, and the sound of morning animals echoed softly. Sunlight pierced through the leaves, making Song Que raise his palm. His eyes blinked.

His stomach growled, a sign that he was hungry. Song Que wandered around to look for food. Not far from there he saw a deer. His eyes immediately lit up and he began stalking it to catch it. Song Que focused and leaped like a predator aiming for its prey.

However, he heard the whistling of the wind from an arrow that seemed to be heading toward the deer from another direction.

The arrow pierced the deer right in the neck at the same moment Song Que grabbed the deer’s leg.

Song Que stood up and looked toward the direction the arrow had come from. He saw three people there walking toward him.

“Boy, release that deer. That is our master’s prey!” one of the three said, emphasizing that he was a guard by mentioning his master.

Song Que looked at the person standing in the middle, holding a bow while staring at him with disgust.

“No,” Song Que answered firmly.

“Hand it over quickly if you don’t want to die!” the guard threatened again, glaring as he stepped forward three steps while holding his sword in a combat-ready stance.

“I’m already hungry. I won’t give away my prey. I see you people don’t really need this animal anyway, so just give it to me!” Song Que turned around. He did not want to deal with arrogant people. He dashed away using his speed.

“Chase him. I never fail to get what I want!” Hu Zaimin said arrogantly.

As the youngest son who had been spoiled by his father, the Patriarch of the Single Sword Sect, Hu Zaimin was used to being arrogant about everything. Moreover, he was always accompanied by two experts at the Energy Core Realm. For him, capturing a boy was only a matter of time, and he was completely calm about it.

One guard moved by leaping in front of Song Que, blocking the boy’s path as he ran.

“Haha, you can’t run, boy. You have offended our master. Blame yourself for not having power,” the guard said while attacking Song Que.

Seeing the attack coming, Song Que pulled the arrow that was stuck in the deer’s neck, then threw the deer aside. The next second, the arrow attempted to block the incoming sword.

“He is very stupid. How could an arrow possibly stop a sword!” Hu Zaimin sneered from afar when he saw Song Que using an arrow to block a sword. To him it was impossible, and the same thought crossed the mind of the guard attacking Song Que.

“Idiot!” the guard sneered. He did not even release energy for this fight. In his opinion, a simple slash was enough to kill the boy before him.

But unfortunately, he had made the wrong decision.

Song Que moved by instinct. He ducked, letting the sword pass above his head, then thrust the arrow into the arm of Hu Zaimin’s guard.

Immediately a scream echoed as the arrow pierced through the arm.

“Bastard!” the guard shouted angrily, clutching his arm in pain.

No one had expected this to happen. Even a small mistake could cause real loss. Hu Zaimin’s eyes widened when he saw it, as did the guard behind him.

When Song Que stabbed the arrow through the arm, he jumped toward the opponent’s left leg and swung his foot toward the man’s chest.

Baam!

The guard was thrown backward and slammed hard into the ground, scattering dust. Blood could be seen spilling from his mouth.

Song Que did not want to deal with them any longer. Right now his stomach was extremely hungry. He turned around, grabbed the deer, and ran through the forest.

Hu Zaimin’s guard moved after receiving a hand signal ordering him to chase. Meanwhile Hu Zaimin himself approached Gu Dai.

“Uncle, how is your arm?” he asked while sitting beside him.

He only asked but did nothing to help. But Gu Dai was already used to that treatment.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t get your prey, Young Master. I was careless because I underestimated him,” Gu Dai sighed, grinding his teeth until a faint scraping sound could be heard.

He then took a pill from his ring and swallowed it. After that he pulled the arrow out of his arm. Fortunately it had not shattered the bone, otherwise it would take much longer to heal.

“Forget it! I want to rest!” Hu Zaimin looked for a seat near a shady tree.

Meanwhile Song Que quickly searched for the nearest river to clean the deer meat.

But Song Que felt that someone was following him. After becoming a cultivator, his hearing and sight had become quite sharp.

He decided to drop the deer on the ground and then jumped onto a tree branch.

Hei Di arrived where the deer lay. He spread out his perception to detect the boy’s presence and found him. Hei Di smiled while looking up at the tree branch.

“You can’t hide from me, boy!”

Song Que did not yet understand why he had been discovered. He had only just begun learning cultivation. He did not know that people could sense his aura even if he hid.

If he had kept running and increased his speed, perhaps he could have escaped. But now, who knew what fate awaited him.

“Just take the deer. I’m not hungry anymore,” Song Que said from the tree branch.

He had decided to give it up. But would Hei Di be satisfied?

“You already injured my friend. Do you think that can be repaid just by giving me this deer? You are terribly mistaken, boy!”

Hei Di jumped onto the tree branch carrying a sword. Of course he wanted to finish things quickly.

But Song Que immediately leaped to another branch to avoid the slash.

“Trying to run? It’s not that easy!”

Hei Di increased his speed and managed to catch up to Song Que with a fast sword swing. If that strike landed, Song Que’s body would surely be torn apart or split in two.

Song Que sensed the urgency of the situation. His hand wrapped around the tree trunk as he twisted his body and delivered a kick toward Hei Di’s back.

The movement was extremely fast. Whenever his life was threatened, the entity inside his body would inject power to accelerate his movements. Of course, the entity did not want to lose its host.

Baam!

Hei Di was thrown away, crashing face-first into the ground. Meanwhile Song Que stood calmly on the branch. He felt great power flowing back into his body.

“I must cultivate seriously to survive! But right now I must defeat him first!”

Hei Di was shocked by that attack. He had not anticipated it. In his view, the boy was only at the middle stage of the Fighter Realm, yet he had managed to push him back even though he himself was at the Initial Stage of the Energy Core Realm.

However, he assumed it was merely luck.

He spat onto the ground, spitting out the dirt that had entered his mouth.

“You’re quite capable, boy! Taste your death!”

Hei Di shouted as he tightened his grip on the sword. A burst of light appeared along the sharp edge of the blade. When it was released, the light formed a sharp crescent.

But Song Que did not stay still anymore. He also gripped the sword left behind by his father.

That sword did not emit light like Hei Di’s attack. But he believed its power was enough to block the opponent’s strike.

So foolish! Hei Di was very pleased to see his opponent daring to clash directly with his attack.

Baam!

A booming sound echoed when Song Que slashed the incoming attack in midair. Perhaps he had been too naive to think it would be easy.

His body was thrown backward and slammed into another tree due to the force of the attack. His clothes were torn, and he suffered serious injuries, evident from the blood he vomited.

The wind stopped blowing.

Hei Di remained stunned by the result.

“His body is strong enough to withstand my attack… and he didn’t even die!”

Song Que looked at him with hatred, his blood boiling.

Immediately after that, his body emitted a terrifying black aura, transforming the atmosphere and the situation into something extreme.

“What is happening?”

Hei Di felt fear rising in his heart as the black aura spread.
