I Reincarnated As A Sword

Brother Ronin is on fire

"Zheng Jiu Zhe, please forgive me. I sent a team of human cultivators, but they couldn't even find a piece of clothing belonging to the demon lord in that place," said Fai Gu, cowering into the corner of the room.

"Useless things! Send a few more cultivator teams and try to find that bastard's body as soon as possible," barked Jin Zhao in an angry tone.

"On your orders, Zheng Jiu Zhe," said Fai Gu, walking away while bowing to Jin Zhao.

"Demon lord, oh demon lord, your body is so precious. How do you think I will leave it just like that? I will use it to conquer the whole demon continent and turn the remaining demons into my slaves," said Jin Zhao, a maniac smile on his face.

"Laugh… You bastard… Keep laughing. I will show you what the word 'hell' means to you very soon," said Ronin's other half of consciousness, which was inside the sword.

Meanwhile, in the forest…

"Let him be happy for now. The next time I battle him will be his death day, and I will make sure he dies without a grave," Ronin murmured inwardly while rotating the skewer holding the red juicy pork meat pieces.

"Brother Ronin, how much time will it take for it to cook?" asked Mei Ling, a drool falling down from the corners of her mouth.

"I'm the demon lord. Can't I look a little intimidating to you? Can't you sense a majestic aura from me? How can you treat me like a chef?" Ronin looked at Mei Ling with a speechless expression.

"It will be ready soon," replied Ronin with a helpless look on his face.

"Hmm, okay," said Mei Ling and kept staring at the skewers in Ronin's hands.

After a few minutes,

"It's ready. Here, take it," said Ronin, extending his hand to offer Mei Ling two skewers. They had a slightly burnt smell, yet the mouth-watering and enticing aroma of the pork meat made them irresistible.

"Hmm… yummy," said Mei Ling, rotating her head in delight and savoring the juicy pork meat as she chewed.

"Quite the bachelor's cooking power," thought Ronin while shaking his head.

After filling their tummies, Mei Ling fell into a content sleep with a smile on her face.

(You guys might wonder, "Even though I'm in sword form, I am able to hear and see everything around me. So, how can I not know in which room the sword is placed?"

"But this damn bastard puts the sword in the scabbard every time except when he's training or battling with his sword." So, I cannot know in which room he will put the sword, even though the sword and I share the same consciousness.)

Ronin settled into a meditation position and began observing the energy from his surroundings, converting it into demonic energy within his body.

The human continent and the demon continent both have different kinds of energies. Ronin focused on observing the energy from the human continent, which he could convert into demonic energy, although the process took considerable time. Nevertheless, it posed no problem for him.

While Ronin was deep in cultivation, he heard a smug voice saying, "Boy, you have taken over the body completely, and now it's time for you to start learning the Demonic Way of the Sword, while your sword learns the Celestial Way of the Sword."

"Okay," said Ronin, connecting his consciousness with the sword. The energy of the Demonic Way of the Sword within the sword disappeared and transferred into the demon lord's body. Simultaneously, the Celestial Way of the Sword spread inside the sword, causing it to shine with a white glow.

Meanwhile, the disappeared energy of the Demonic Way of the Sword appeared inside the demon lord's body, spreading throughout and causing a bright red glow to emanate from him. Mei Ling slowly sat up, yawning and rubbing her eyes. Her eyes widened when she saw the red glow on Ronin.

"Brother Ronin is on fire!" she said, panic evident in her face. She hurriedly ran to a nearby lake, took off her clothes, and soaked them in the water. She rushed back to where Ronin was meditating and threw her wet clothes on him. The moment the wet clothes made contact, Ronin opened his eyes and looked around, only to find a naked Mei Ling staring at him with concern, and her wet clothes now on him.

He shook his head with a helpless expression, then used his energy to dry the clothes and helped her put them back on.

"Nothing happened to me, and nothing will happen to me," said Ronin while looking at Mei Ling.

She adjusted her dress properly and then gazed back at Ronin, reaching out her little hand to gently touch him, and asked, "You really didn't burn in flames?"

"Yes," Ronin nodded in response to her question.

Ronin felt deeply touched by Mei Ling's concern. As an orphan, he had never experienced such caring from another person in his past life. He began to appreciate the affection the little girl showed him, which strengthened his determination to save the demons in the human continent and protect the demon continent from humans.

"But I saw the fire on you…." Mei Ling started to say, but she was interrupted by Ronin, who said, "That's not fire, and strange things like that will keep happening to me in the future, so don't worry about me."

"Hmm," she nodded her head, yawned, and then went back to sleep on the grass.

"You may have tons of plot armor, but I know how to break through those plot armors because I already know what you will do and every step you will take in the future. I will do everything in my ability to protect this peaceful sleep she's having right now," Ronin murmured inwardly, gently caressing Mei Ling's hair with his hand.

Ronin assumed the meditative position and commenced cultivating the Demonic Way of the sword. As he delved deeper into his practice, he noticed a heightened speed in the conversion of energy from the human continent into demonic energy.
