Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 677 - Chapter 677 Chapter 571 The Path of Cultivation - Part 2

Chapter 677: Chapter 571 The Path of Cultivation – Part 2 Chapter 677: Chapter 571 The Path of Cultivation – Part 2 He only regarded the Sword Seal as a simple combination of swordsmanship and Dharma Seal, but he had not comprehended the most essential aspect of it.

On the surface, whether it’s Quinn’s Sword Seal’s Return or Alder Sword Seal’s Flying Sword, they seem more like a move, a simple offensive or defensive technique.

Rather than a concept.

He felt he might be grasping something elusive.

“Meiryu, Kensumi, and myself, our Guardian Spirits are all Three-legged Crows, but each of us is different, with completely distinct styles of fighting,”

“You need to have something of your own.”

“What is a Guardian Spirit?”

“It is your philosophy, your chosen character, and path.”

“It is you.”

Roger fell into contemplation.

The words of Sword Master Cold Crow seemed to open a door to the pinnacle for him. Indeed, even before reaching the Fourth Tier and the high-end levels, the increase in strength had obvious benefits.

After all, swordsmen like Meiryu and Sword Master Cold Crow were extremely rare; Roger could understand what Cold Crow was suggesting–directions he should aim for after reaching the pinnacle.

Truth be told, for Roger at this time, these theories were somewhat advanced and even inappropriate.

But it was like an enlightening moment for Roger; he was not short of means to accumulate power; what he needed was the correct direction.

If he continued on his current path, even if he elevated his abilities to the higher echelons of the Fourth Tier or even Sword Master level, it would be nothing more than superficial.

Facing cultivators of the same level in combat, he might be utterly defeated.

“What should I do?”

He asked.

“Go back and rest, and come find me at the same time tomorrow,”

“Okay.”

Roger nodded his head and turned to leave. This place seemed to be an isolated space; once he left a certain range, he would naturally return to the cottage atop the mountain.

Roger really wanted to merge Shadow Cottage into the shadows of the house where Sword Master Cold Crow resided, but as soon as this thought arose, he dismissed it.

Too dangerous.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the voice of Sword Master Cold Crow from behind, “There is a way to deal with the side effects of the Nekomata Guardian Spirit…”

Roger didn’t turn back but stepped forward without hesitation, muttering to himself, “Old fox…”

His figure appeared inside the room, surrounded by silence. Yatagarasu Meiryu had clearly left long ago; following the steps, he came to a separate courtyard halfway down the mountain. Before he even approached, he could hear a faint sound of an argument.

Entering the courtyard gate, from a distance, Roger saw a figure hovering around Yukiko. At first, he thought it was Aoki Kazuo, but on closer inspection, he realized the man only looked similar in stature.

His appearance and demeanor were entirely different.

“Roger…”

Yukiko’s eyes brightened as she saw him, and she walked quickly toward him. At that moment, Roger also got a clear view of the figure standing next to Yukiko.

It was a young man, around twenty years old, with a fair face and eyes slanted upwards like a woman’s, overly flirtatious, and even his lips were more rosy than an ordinary man’s.

Seeing Roger, the man said nothing and headed straight for the distant gate.

“Who are you?”

Roger called out, but the man acted as if he hadn’t heard him; Yukiko, standing beside Roger, gently tugged at his sleeve and gave him a look.

“He’s from Yatagarasu Meiryu. He always finds excuses to come here…”

Hearing the information passed by Yukiko, Roger frowned. He stepped forward, raising his voice.

“Can’t understand human language?”

“What did you say?” The man at the gate turned sharply, a trickle of blood at the corner of his eye, his coquettish pupils emitting a threatening fierceness.

“Seems like you can understand.”

Roger said calmly.

“Hmph, a mere clown.”

The man sneered, a flash of contempt crossing his face. Just as he was about to turn away, Roger spoke, “I don’t care why you’ve come here before, but you’d better put away your little schemes.”

“Heh…”

The man looked disdainfully at Roger, “Who do you think you are?”

“This is Hankawa, this is…”

“The master here is still Sword Master Cold Crow!”

Roger cut him off coldly. The man’s expression on his face changed slightly, swallowing the rest of his words.

In truth, Roger did not want to get overly involved in the internal strife of the Sword Pavilion; he just wanted to quietly increase his strength, especially since there was no need for infighting at the moment.

“Fine, I’ll remember what you said, remember that I am White Fox!”

The man said menacingly, “I will come again.”

Roger frowned, clenching the Sword of Destiny in his hand; he felt a surge of irritation. He hesitated, wondering if he should…

The White Fox across from him clearly noticed the change in Roger’s demeanor and also grew tense. Just then, a voice came from behind White Fox.

“What are you doing here?”

Roger’s aura relaxed a bit as he lifted his head, and two figures appeared at the door: Yatagarasu Kensumi and Yuuki Nao.

“Lord Kensumi!”

White Fox answered in a low voice.

“Who told you to come here?” Yatagarasu Kensumi frowned, “What are you standing there for? Scram!”

“Yes… Yes!”

White Fox’s face turned extremely unsightly, but he said nothing and swiftly bowed his head and left.

“Lord Kensumi.”

Roger began.

“Just call me by my name,” Yatagarasu Kensumi said.

“You’re here because…”

“Although from today onwards you’re considered a student of my father, prior to this, you were still working for me. And about last night’s betrayal by the Ishii Family, to be honest, I am also responsible. If I could have dedicated more attention to these affairs, perhaps it wouldn’t have…”

“Lord Kensumi, it’s my responsibility,” Yuuki Nao hastily interjected, standing by the side.

“It’s because I’m too weak. If I had power like Lord Roger, I could have helped you with some of these matters.”

Not far away, Roger smirked, noticing the look Yuuki Nao gave Yatagarasu Kensumi. This scene, this tone…

Are they feeding each other dog food?

“Indeed, you are also responsible!”

“What… What?!”

Roger snapped back to reality, eyes wide in shock as he looked at Yatagarasu Kensumi.

Brother, can’t you tell she’s just speaking off the cuff?

But there was Yatagarasu Kensumi, nodding in agreement, turning slightly to pat Yuuki Nao on the shoulder, “Ice Butterfly, you need to work harder to enhance your strength!”

“I will, Lord Kensumi!” Yuuki Nao said softly.

“My father always emphasizes clear rewards and punishments. Where you’ve been negligent in this matter…”

“Lord Kensumi… Please, punish me!”

The cold wind brushed against his cheeks, and Roger felt that at this moment, he should become a paper doll, whirling in the wind to match the atmosphere at the scene.

What’s going on?

If this conversation happened in a room, Roger might’ve thought of something inappropriate.

Just looking at Yatagarasu Kensumi’s demeanor, he couldn’t really be contemplating how to punish Yuuki Nao, could he?

Heh heh…

Punishment… with a stick?

“Cough cough.”

Roger coughed lightly, making his presence felt and finally snapping Yatagarasu Kensumi out of his contemplation.

“The Ishii Family…”

Roger inquired.

“I’ve already sent people to deal with it.”

“The city won’t return to normal overnight; for quite some time to come, we’ll need to increase our manpower. I might personally oversee it.”

“While I’m not here, if you encounter any problems you can’t solve, you can go to Nao; he will notify me.”

“Meiryu may target you for some reason; just ignore him. Now that you’re my father’s student, no one but my father can touch you.”

“I’ve prepared some things for you for completing the last task. I’ll have someone deliver them to you later.”

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yatagarasu Kensumi left with Yuuki Nao, their hurried departure suggesting they might be rushing back to carry out that so-called punishment?

Roger silently mused.

He checked with Yukiko about the situation, which was nearly as he had suspected. This chap known as White Fox must have also approached Yukiko for Michihiro Morita’s sake.

However, the guy had been discreet and hadn’t given away anything incriminating.

Roger returned to his room to thoroughly contemplate his battle insights.

Early the next day, before Roger even left the house, a flurry of disordered footsteps came, followed by a panicked Yukiko Morita bursting in.

“Ro… Roger!”

“It’s bad, that Yatagarasu Meiryu…”

“He’s here!”

Roger’s expression changed slightly as he strode outside.
