I Reincarnated As A Sword

Facing dark cultivators

Dark cultivators are filled with humans and demons, and they are considered the most despicable beings, known as filthy cultivators in both the demon and human continents. To increase their power, they resort to any despicable means, from sacrificing infants to forcefully dual cultivating with demons and human girls who haven't lost their chastity.

There seems to be no end to their evil deeds.

"I sense this evil aura from all directions. Not good, this village is filled with evil cultivators," Ronin murmured inwardly, his face stern.

Ronin reached out his hand to hold Mei Ling's hand and said, "I will save your daughter. But first, give me a minute."

With lightning speed, Ronin took Mei Ling away from the village and drew a protective line around her. He chanted a demon mantra, and four symbols appeared in four directions around her, blinking once before disappearing.

"Do not step out of the line I drew until I come back and ask you to," Ronin said, his face serious.

He then disappeared and reappeared in front of Layla's mother, asking, "Where will you be?"

"I will stay and wait for my daughter's return," Layla's mother replied, looking at Ronin.

"Okay," Ronin nodded and appeared near the tent that belonged to the Acrobats.

"These villagers have no idea what's going to happen to their children soon," the long-haired male Acrobat said, looking at the short-haired female Acrobat.

"Yeah, the boss is really smart to choose this remote village. Whatever happens here, it won't alert high-level cultivators from humans," the short-haired female Acrobat said, a maniac smile on her face.

"The boss said he would share a small amount of blood essence with us after the sacrifice ritual ends," said the long-haired male Acrobat, excitement evident on his face.

"I can't wait to absorb the blood essence and become stronger as quickly as possible," said the short-haired female Acrobat, her smile displaying sadistic anticipation.

"Haha, exactly! I'm eager to absorb the blood essence and gain strength," replied the long-haired male Acrobat, reaching out to squeeze her bun.

"Ah, stop... not now, the next performance is ours," the short-haired female Acrobat said with a lustful expression.

"Alright, alright," said the long-haired male Acrobat lazily, stopping his actions and withdrawing his hand.

"Ugh... their lustful romance is disgusting," remarked Ronin, cleaning his eyes with cleansing water.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the performers for the hand balancing performance...

"Brother 10th Claw is calling us, we have to go," said the short-haired female Acrobat, turning to leave the tent and heading towards the stage.

"Wait, I'm coming," said the long-haired male Acrobat, hurrying to follow her.

"So these bastards are spread around the village, using games and performances to entice the audience, and then resorting to despicable means to kidnap their children without the parents suspecting anything," Ronin murmured inwardly. He entered the tent and changed into an Acrobat costume, covering his face with joker makeup.

"Dark cultivators, I'm coming..." declared Ronin, making his way towards the performance stage, where many Acrobats were waiting for their turns. Silently, he blended in with the Acrobat performers, observing them closely.

After a few minutes, the exhibition ended, and distraught parents continued searching for their missing children throughout the village, while others who didn't have children returned to their homes.

Ronin moved away from the village together with the Acrobat group. After a few minutes, they reached a hidden cave, covered by bushes and trees. All of them entered inside. Ronin observed a few dark cultivators tying the children with ropes and whipping them, forcing them to move deeper into the cave.

Instead of hurriedly following them, Ronin took his time, ensuring that others were occupied and not watching him. After a few minutes, all the kids, with whip injuries on their bodies and tears streaming down their faces, came to a halt upon hearing the whip sound from the dark cultivator leading them.

"Hello, my dear children. You all look so cute. My heart melts like an ice cube just looking at your faces," said the middle-aged man with a psychotic expression.

"In a few minutes, I'm going to send you all to meet God. You can have a good and happy life in heaven," he continued, looking at the children with a sinister smile.

A little boy stepped forward, and in response, the dark cultivator leading them raised his hand, holding the whip. However, he immediately stopped his attack after seeing a gesture made by the middle-aged man.

"Little boy, do you have anything you want to say to me?" asked the middle-aged man, pretending to have a gentle demeanor.

"We don't want to meet any God or go to heaven. We just want to go back, meet our parents, and stay with them, taking care of them," said the little boy fearfully.

"You know what? If God hears what you just said, then he will get angry and kill all of your parents," said the middle-aged man with a menacing look on his face.

"Hmm, can you stop talking nonsense with kids? Which god said that if kids do not listen to him/her, he/she will go and kill their parents?" A voice reached the people deep inside the cave.

"Who is it? Come out and face me!" shouted the middle-aged man, his face filled with anger. The dark cultivator who led the kids to that place tightened his grip on the whip and looked around.

"Of course, I will face you," a voice echoed, and Ronin appeared on the stage with a sacrifice altar. He sat on the edge of the stage, placing his left leg on top of his right thigh, and stared at the middle-aged man.

"Who are you? You're not a dark cultivator," asked the middle-aged man, grinding his teeth in anger.

"Hmm, who I am is not important. What's important right now is to take all the kids and return them back to their parents. If any of you don't want to face severe consequences in my hands," said Ronin, cracking his fingers with a ruthless glint flashing through his eyes.
