The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 17 - The Failed Child
"Give me what I ask or you'll suffer the consequences!"
"Tu-sir, I really don't have it, even if there I will definitely–"
His wife's neck became a threat, the man who was kneeling begged it looked even more trembling. The two hands he held shook violently.
The misfortune befell his family tonight, after the news that the reliable medicine concocter was able to create a drug that is able to cure the disease that is endemic in Houbi Village, Indonesia, the place that was once advanced and was snatched away by the Blood Demon Man thus became like a grave of death.
Only a few people have no place to live there. Caused by less water the population uses dirty water to survive but unfortunately from the water a new disease emerged.
The life expectancy of many residents of Houbi Village depended entirely on the compounder of the drug, the man begged the stranger in front of him who wanted to take the drug for free. From the looks of it alone, he was certain that the man was from a black-flow sect.
"I'm telling you to give it to me quickly or I'll take your wife's head!"
"But the medicine will be sent to Houbi Village! They need this help even more!"
The medicine maker's neck was strangled strongly, a gnarled gaze pollinating him. "You know, my people are going through the same thing! What difference does it make to help them by helping us?!"
Despite the fear the man remained against him. "I saved their lives because they would never kill a human like you all!"
"That happened a long time ago, even if it could kill me it would definitely kill all of you. It's just that the Demonic Sword already controls this Empire..."
"You call my father? It just so happens that his son is here."
Xin Chen was seen entering the house, there was no sound of doors or footsteps. The two people looked at him like they were seeing a ghost. Xin Chen opened his mask slowly, displaying his cynical smile.
"Take the old man off if you want to survive."
"Currently, the child of the Demon Sword is only this way? You must be Xin Chen, right? The failed child that people tell. Unfortunately your father's greatness doesn't flow in your body."
The talk was indeed to heat up Xin Chen, unfortunately Xin Chen himself was already immune to hearing it. "Even if I fail to be his son, at least I don't fail to be human like you."
"What did you say?!"
Xin Chen's eyeballs locked at one point, he recognized the man's clothes. The man was a remnant of a surviving member of the Blood Devil Man.
After the great war a few years ago, all the members of the Blood Devil Man scattered throughout the Empire chose to hide themselves. There was no intention to eliminate the demons in their bodies because thus their strength would plummet sharply. Being weak as ever.
Xin Chen furrowed his forehead for a moment thinking about something secretly. He pulled a piece of cloth out of his shirt. "You must know them."
The man narrowed his eyes in order to see the engraving on the cloth. "I have no business with them."
"You definitely have a relationship with these people" Xin Chen said trying to lure the man to say more. This interlocutor must have known more information about his fellow black-flow sect.
"Cooperate with the Valley of the Gods? Cih, offering exorbitant advantages with the lure of treasures. After that you'll be destroyed by them."
"You seem to know a lot about them."
"Damn it, don't stall my time! I don't have any interest in them and anyway..." A cynical sneer appeared at the corner of his lips. "I think they'll be a great ruin after the Blood Man the Devil."
Xin Chen started to feel the air pressure around him begin to thin, his shoulders feeling heavy at one time.
"Although you're not that great but the price of your head must be very expensive, boy." The man took out his sword which flashed a bright red.
Xin Chen chose to retreat first so that the family inside the house was not affected. The streets of the night began to be quiet, no one passed through the place.
Xin Chen's hand held the weapon hesitantly, he knew fighting was a must for a swordsman. But mentally not ready if you have to see the piece of neck meat like before.
"Too many think you're going to die!"
The voice of the Thunder Fox sounded, he was watching from above the roof of the house. Watching Xin Chen fight with jelly.
Xin Chen's opponent looked up and was able to measure a bit of the Lightning Fox's strength, making him start hesitating to kill.
"No need to worry, I promise I won't get out of here. If you want to fight please, don't waste your chance."
Xin Chen was half in disbelief to hear it, in another sense the Thunder Fox was handing its life over to the man. As the Lightning Fox said, too much thought would only make him hesitate.
Knowing his life was under threat Xin Chen began to prepare for a fight.
There was a voice of the Thunder Fox scolding him from above, "That spread of your legs, you will be easily attacked with such defense!"
Xin Chen's opponent himself understood what was going on, he was sure the Lightning Fox was testing his student at this place. Whether the result would be good or not, from his estimation he was sure the Lightning Fox would not save Xin Chen.
Their eyes meet each other. Xin Chen focused his attention just as he did during training with his father. Armed with the knowledge that Xin Fai had been teaching all along, although not sure Xin Chen still had a little hope of survival.
"To master your sword, you must first master your emotions. Chen, at times like no one will help you but yourself!" The Lightning Fox said firmly.
Xin Chen nodded slowly, lurking in front of him waiting for the movement of the opponent.
The memory when Ren Yuan encouraged him also flashed, if you think about it all along there were still many people who supported him. It was just that Xin Chen was too concerned about the other people's words rather than the support of his Mother's Father.
"I can't destroy your reputation, just look at old man. I won't hesitate to take your head either!"
The man slightly jolted as he faced Xin Chen's eyeballs that were very similar to his father's, for some reason he was so afraid of it.
How was it when he ran away in a daze when the Sacred Sword Alliance came to ruffle the headquarters of the Blood Devil Man. Just remembering it has evoked bad memories in the past.
Xin Chen drew his sword, until the reflection of his face was seen on the blade. The two stood watching each other's movements until finally the man attacked first.
Xin Chen put on his mask, dodging to the side. But instead the man launched a follow-up attack, making him not have time to avoid. Xin Chen's hand was pulled by the enemy and his body twisted until it slammed violently onto the ground.
It did not end there that the man used his sword, opening the incision wound until Xin Chen's hand spewed blood.
"Hahahaha, just once attack you've been hurt. Right said people. You don't have talent."
Just this time Xin Chen was really offended to hear it, he was a little disappointed on his own. Xin Chen himself now did not dare to look at the Lightning Fox.
"I think I have advice for you, rather than being a swordsman you're better suited to being an entrepreneur. That's if your brain is smart."
Insults after insults just popped out of his mouth, making Xin Chen's mentality completely fall to hear them. Xin Chen confirmed his grip on the sword. Trying to focus again.
"Hahaha this is so funny, I thought you were not only a failed child, but your father failed in educating you as well."
Xin Chen's eyes glared full of murderous air.
