The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 71: Lady in distress

While Jian Shen was getting ready to fight the silver tailed python, in a location not far from him, a lady was tiptoeing her way deep inside the Endless Forest to take maintain control over her life.

Her name was Yu Yan, a woman who was married away by her family due to an illness she had.

Unfortunately, even after she was forced into a marriage she didn't like, Yu Yan didn't go along with it as everyone expected.

She held onto her family name, and didn't let her husband touch her by threatening to kill herself.

In this way, she was able to live and not become the political bargain chip her family wanted. But, this didn't last for long.

Soon, her illness began showing its effect on Yu Yan's body.

Noticing this, her husband said that he'd cure the illness as long as she agrees to have sex with him. All of this was because of how much he valued her beautiful body, and his desire to possess her.

Though so much had happened, Yu Yan still didn't go along with it, and completely rejected the proposal.

She said, she'd cure her illness on her own.

Still, it wasn't easy to cure Yu Yan's illness, because the particular herb which was needed to cure her illness could only be found inside the Endless Forest.

That's why, even though Yu Yan knew she would most likely not walk safely out of the Endless Forest, she still entered it to look for the herb.

Everything went fine for the first few days, where all the beasts she encountered were only Spirit Beasts.

However, all of a sudden, a Middle Grade Ancient Beast, the Disaster Snow Ape came out of nowhere and began attacking her.

As someone who was in the Mystic Realm, even if Yu Yan couldn't kill it, she could hold her own and escape from the Disaster Snow Ape.

But, for some reason her illness suddenly flared up causing her combat prowess to plummet.

Due to this, Yu Yan could only dodge the Disaster Snow Ape's attacks and run, until her illness calmed down. At the same time, she hoped for the Disaster Snow Ape to give up, and leave.

Neither of them happened, as Yu Yan's illness hurt more by every passing second, causing the Disaster Snow Ape to close in on her.

Just when, the Disaster Snow Ape was about to hit her, and Yu Yan closed her eyes in resignment, her hope on life was rekindled due to an overbearing pressure of bloodthirst and destruction coming from close to them.

Taking the moment where the Disaster Snow Ape was stunned, Yu Yan began running in the direction which her body sensed the most threat from.

As the Disaster Snow Ape gritted its teeth and chased after Yu Yan, whom it had decided to kill, Yu Yan increased her speed and hoped for the dangerous pressure to be a strong beast.

This way she could try and make the two beasts fight, and use the opportunity to escape.

Unfortunately, just as Yu Yan finally saw what was emitting such dangerous pressure, she didn't find any beast as she hoped for. But instead, there was a white robed human kneeling on the ground with a black sword.

Noticing that the mist was being released by the sword in the human's hand, Yu Yan thought that it was some strong swordsman who came here for training.

Feeling even more happy, that it was a strong human, and not a beast, Yu Yan loudly cried for help.

"Please help me!"

But soon after she cried for help, Yu Yan saw the man raise his head. It was then that she noticed that the human whom she expected to be a strong man, was actually a young boy who wasn't even half of her age!

Immediately all of Yu Yan's hopes were destroyed, and she regretted running in this direction, because she ended up pulling the young boy into danger.

Therefore, Yu Yan who felt guilty for dragging the unknown handsome boy into her trouble, was about to turn and take the beast away with her, when the boy started running towards her!

...

As soon as Jian Shen noticed a beautiful lady calling for help, he threw away the idea of resting and started running towards her.

"Husband, that beast is a Middle Grade Ancient Beast. The way you are right now, there's no chance to defeat it."

"I know. That's why, remove enough seals to defeat that beast, little wifey."

Originally, Juewang planned to completely reject Jian Shen, but since he called her 'little wifey', Juewang felt her happy and couldn't reject his request immediately.

"But... If I do that, you'll only be able to use a single strike before fainting."

"That's fine. Just do it!"

Feeling hurt from how Jian Shen seemed so anxious to save that unknown woman, and was getting restless with her who was looking out for him, Juewang pouted.

"Fine! I don't care if you want to die for a random woman!"

Saying so Juewang removed the second seal on her. Due to this, once Jian Shen began pouring his Qi inside the Sword of Despair, he felt a lot of his Qi being sucked inside it, however, it wasn't the same as last time.

This time, Jian Shen could sense how much Qi he was using every second, and according to his estimate he would at most last less than 30 seconds.

Deciding to not waste a single second, Jian Shen sped up and arrived in front of the stunned Yu Yan who was too scared to even speak.

Passing by her in a flash, Jian Shen jumped and raised the Sword of Despair higher than the black and white coloured huge ape.

Using the moments the Disaster Snow Ape was frozen in fear, Jian Shen sliced downwards and cut through the beast and directly split it into two halves.

Once he did that Jian Shen didn't have enough strength to even move, and therefore fell down face first on the ground which was covered in the beast's flesh and blood.
