The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 10 - Under the Night Sky
Xin Chen listened to the Lightning Fox, his usual nosy eyes twinkle starting to get serious. While the demon in front of him began to tell an old story, which had never been told to anyone including Xin Fai himself.
"Since thousands of years ago the Forbidden Book has been one of the world's most notorious and dangerous legends, with the reputation of that as well as the human race fighting each other to obtain it. Fight after fight happened until the book finally fell into my hands."
The Lightning Fox continued, "With my strength no human can take it, I continue to carry the book with me wherever I go. Can you guess why I hid the Forbidden Book?"
Xin Chen tilted his head when told to guess, he answered carelessly. "Maybe men fear you, with the Forbidden Book you may destroy men. I guess you're protecting her to keep the world peaceful? Or something?"
A small laugh rang out from the Thunder Fox, in that second Xin Chen realized his answer was wrong.
"It is precisely I who fear humans, in the Forbidden Book sealed one invincible spell, which could even defeat ten Earth Rulers, hundreds of celestial emperors and warriors... Your father." though."
Xin Chen gulped his saliva heavily, unimaginable by him such a great power still existed on earth. Because after hearing the story of the adults, his father had even defeated the most powerful demon on the face of this earth. There is no one as great as his father now. If he loses then who can save the humans?
The origin of the Forbidden Book was also never known, which the Lightning Fox itself could tell the Forbidden Book was famous after shaking the martial world. It had happened for thousands of years so he could not remember any more clearly.
"Beat my father? Then where is the spell sealed? Can we get it?"
"When I got the Forbidden Book, the third leaf in the book was indeed torn apart. I was sure for sure after hearing the news of the death of the Ice Demon Lord, the owner of the third sheet had already planned something. And it can only be sniffed after a few years later. He's planning something big."
Xin Chen was silent in his chaotic mind, he was eager to return and tell his father this important news but something was holding him back.
"You're thinking of telling your dad?"
Xin Chen was surprised a little, he was astonished why the Lightning Fox was so good at guessing the contents of his mind.
"If your father finds out, I'm sure he's thinking about putting him down right away while the matter is deep-rooted. Doing rash actions will only trouble us later on. We have to find out before we make the best decision."
"So then we can't tell Dad?
"really so. Get here, okay?"
Xin Chen's shoulders sagged, he tried to digest their previous conversation. About the robber who poisoned his brother to his relationship with the Forbidden Book.
The Lightning Fox patted him on the shoulder, "Because it has become my disciple there is no harm in thinking while practicing. Now stand on that rock with one foot."
"H-huh?"
"Just do it before I sting with these electricity," he threatened. The power of lightning seen in the hands of the Thunder Fox, once hit by a single large swordsman could be charred unceremoniously made.
"Good Teacher."
Xin Chen climbed a boulder not far from him and stood on it in distress, many times falling down and hitting the pebbles below. Makes his body start to cause bruises and abrasions. His clothes began to fall apart.
"You were too spoiled by your mother like her. That's why you're not used to the rigors of living in the wild like this."
Xin Chen could not argue with him, as the son of a well-respected family he was treated like a golden child, strict guard and bodyguards were by his side at all times. For that reason, Xin Chen rarely drew his sword for a serious fight.
An hour passed with a long time, the sweat on Xin Chen's temple soaked his face. He did not think the hot air that night was a sign of heavy rain. Surely along with the tightness of the wind, raindrops began to wet the earth.
"That's enough, you can come back here."
"N-no... I can hold on, in a minute..." The boy's sight was blown away by the rain, he slipped into the puddle.
The Lightning Fox could only notice Xin Chen's movements under the tree. See what he's gonna do. The child's feet were shaking uncontrollably. He went back up the stone and stood on it while practicing the sword technique.
"You sure?" The demon began to hesitate, three hours including a long time for a small child to survive in the rainwater. He was worried that it would make his health decline.
"It's okay, I love the rain anyway. If I pass out, I'll just stop"
Xin Chen completely fainted before he managed to finish his words. "This child..." The Thunder Foxes hissed.
"Truly similar to his father!"
**
The chirping of tree birds sounded faint, as Xin Chen opened his eyes the sight of a foreign village before him. They almost arrived at the gate of the small village. The Lightning Fox was still carrying him, of course by covering his face using a cloak hood.
"You're up, great. It's your job now to talk to the gatekeeper."
Xin Chen knew the reason the Lightning Fox had asked for it, other than to keep the disguise of the Lightning Fox from being discovered, Xin Chen himself had the name of the Xin clan. This reputation made it easy for him to enter any place without being hindered.
There were whispers among the gatekeepers, it seemed that they recognized who had come to their village this time.
But behind the whispers were only unpleasant remarks towards Xin Chen, of course, the fact that at the age of 10 years Xin Chen still can not use his internal energy is also a matter of conversation.
The Lightning Fox knew little about Xin Chen now, it was fitting that he felt strange when the child was even frightened when faced with the snake.
"There's nothing to think about" the Lightning Fox said briefly. The sky began to show a tinge of orange sign of the sun will rise, although around the village it still looks lonely.
Xin Chen and the Lightning Fox searched for an inn located in the middle of the village, lucky that there was still one inn that provided one room so they did not need to go around to get it.
Ever since the Lightning Fox knew Xin Chen could not fall asleep, the boy went to the window and leaned there while looking at the small knife in his hand.
Observe with carved jelly on the knife while contemplating something. While the Lightning Fox itself meditated to refine its Qi.
When the Lightning Fox opened its eyes, Xin Chen was already not there. The demon could only exhale heavily.
When he felt the residents began to move as usual Xin Chen immediately came out of the inn to find the information he needed, but at that time he realized his identity was already known to many people. Xin Chen thought this matter might endanger himself.
There could have been someone who planned to kill him, it was already undeniable. Because the black stream warriors themselves were eager to destroy the generation of the Demon Sword. So that they can move freely to kill the population as usual.
