Hong Chi watched the group retreat and soon decided to follow them. They returned back to the sect and reported the matter to the higher ups.

"A member of Razor Leaf sect infiltrated the library and managed to evade your pursuit, and you are telling me that this person was able to consolidate a sword intent?"

Vice Head Wang looked at the group with Elder Li kneeling on the front.

"That's basically it, senior Wang."

The old librarian was sweating bullets as he spoke. The Vice Head was simply too intimidating and his aura caused the younger disciples to pale. This was a Core Formation expert! Yes, this was the second character with this level of cultivation!

Hong Chi who scouted them from the practice ground did not feel it wise to approach nearer as there was a troublesome character inside.

"Punch!"

The instructor bellowed and Hong Chi watched the disciple near him throw a punch. The instructor went from person to person, correcting their postures and beating those who thought more than 1 second to comprehend his words.

The instructor walked before Hong Chi and scanned him with sharp eyes.

"Hmm?"

The instructor could not help but nod. Hong Chi's stance was perfect.

"Punch!"

The instructor's spittle sprayed on his face but Hong Chi did not want the end up like the poor guy who dared to wipe it in front of the instructor.

Hong Chi executed a punch perfectly. The instructor's eyes gleamed.

"What is your name?"

"It's Hong Chi, instructor."

"Your fist is good."

The instructor moved on to another disciple.

"Punch!"

"Hah!"

"I said punch you idiot, not yell!"

Hong Chi turned his attention in the meeting occurring in a certain building. The meeting just concluded and the previous group went strange people following them out.

These people were dressed in black and wore silver masks to cover their faces.

The instructor turned his head towards them and said.

"Why are the sect enforcers going out?"

"Instructor, I heard that someone from another sect stole from the library."

The instructor frowned. "Which sect?"

"I have not yet been informed, instructor."

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

"Alright, let's not mind them and continue training!" The instructor said.

The black clothed people separated into groups and began searching for the intruder. They all have reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, and had honed their martial arts unlike the frail old librarian.

A group of the black clothed people went to the practice ground and eyed every disciples present, causing them to sweat nonstop.

Suddenly, their eyes behind the mask became fixed on Hing Chi's figure.

"We have found you, intruder." One of them said.

The instructor acted quickly upon hearing this, arriving at Hong Chi's side and unhesitatingly throwing a punch to his flank.

Suddenly, the instructor's eyes widened in disbelief. The instructor's body fell at Hong Chi's foot. Hong Chi withdrew his fist and turned to the black clothed men.

The disciples were shocked to see the instructor who was invincible in their hearts fall, with the same punch he taught them a while ago.

"The devil is fallen!" One disciple blurted out his thought. Other disciples looked at this disciple with vicious gaze.

Once the instructor woke up, he would do so with burning rage, and they will let this guy handle the brunt of his anger.

They had the same thoughts as this guy, but thoughts like this are better not said.

Hong Chi saw one of the black clothed person drew out a sword and pointed to him.

"I heard that you have formed a sword intent, allow me to experience it." He said.

After saying this, he flew towards Hong Chi and brandished his sword tracing light in the air.

"This is the Sunlight Swordsmanship! This person actually mastered such a difficult martial arts!" Exclaimed one disciple in the background.

Hong Chi felt this sword art familiar and he realized that he learnt the same swordsmanship a while ago.

The other black robes people did not stay idle during this time. Two of them vanished, and the remaining two joined the fray.

A golden beam flashed from one of the black clothed person and Hong Chi evaded the beam. A radiant arc suddenly greeted him while he was in the air. Hong Chi twisted his body slightly and allowed the sword to pass harmlessly by his side.

Hong Chi landed and he dashed away from the scene.

The third black clothed person acted this time, running after Hong Chi.

"It's futile to es-" the fellow did not get to finish his sentence as Hong Chi delivered a stomp to their face. The person was blown away like a kite and their mask formed cracks. The fellow did not stood up after that.

Hong Chi held back with the kick, or else the power of a fourth stage- was it fifth?- Core Formation expert would have blasted that person's head.

Reinforcement finally arrived at the scene and tried to chase Hong Chi. When Hong Chi went out of the sect, he quickly ran forward and grabbed a branch then he turned towards his pursuers.

The group also halted. Although their opponent looked young, they did not underestimate him after seeing him battle.

Hong Chi tested the branch first by waving at the group. A massive blade of wind suddenly appeared before them.

"Dodge!" Yelled one of them. The group leaped to the air while the ground below them was torn by the sharp wind.

Seeing this, Hong Chi was satisfied.

The black clothed people felt their scalps go numb.

"So this is the power of sword intent..." The swordsman whispered. He felt the hand holding his sword tremble at the attack.

The group secretly communicated at each other, then they vanished as their speed reached the limit.

Hong Chi could have escaped from them long ago, but he saw this as an opportunity to refine his skills.

Hong turned and slashed with his branch. The sword which it passed was cut without resistance.

"Impossible!" The swordsman exclaimed. Hing Chi punched his stomach and he was out cold.

The branch did not stop moving at it intercepted attacks from the others.

Hong Chi was feeling happy smacking their heads with the branch.

After a while, the black clothed group all lied on the group, powerless and full of bruises. They could not even touch their opponent's clothes.

Hong Chi looked up and saw a person descends majestically from the sky.

This person was Vice Head Wang. He glanced at the fallen folks and his eyes twitched in irritation. He then faced Hong Chi with a sharp glare.

Hong Chi had advanced to the eight stage of Core Formation and he determined that this man was no longer a threat for him.

"Let's see your strength, intruder!" Vice Head Wang made seals with his hands and seven golden orbs appeared on his back.

He made another seal and the orbs transformed into seven golden dragons. The dragons had frightening visage and their roars continuously resounded on Hong Chi's mind.

Vice Head Wang revealed a look of concentration and he started to chant while his hands did not stop from forming seals. The dragons roared along with him.

"Behold our Sunlight sect's secret skill, Seven Sunlight Dragons!"
