The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 22 - Abandoned Information
Xin Chen choked on his own breath, before he had time to raise his protest The Thunder Fox had already retreated first. Waiting for him on the pole that supports the gate of the residence.
"I will wait for you from the outside, to train you you must face an enemy greater than yourself, there is no other way."
"Teacher! You call this by training?" Xin Chen called out again, "This is tantamount to testing my life. Inside there are so many warriors... You know, one of them is more than enough to chop off my head?"
Honestly, just this time Xin Chen felt the tension in the actual fight, before he was still sure he could survive even if he had to get hurt. That Lightning Fox was still with him.
Moreover, from the previous fight, the Lightning Fox was really serious when it told him to fight alone against the man from the Blood Devil Man.
"How am I supposed to get out of this place and save the mayor all at once without getting killed?"
Xin Chen's gaze focused at one point, he was seen thinking hard again and again. Making the temple also raises veins, do not know what to do while the situation is very desperate Xin Chen also ventured. He slipped in even without a plan.
Slowly but surely by using the Blood Ghost Mask is no longer a difficult matter to enter the house without being known to people. In the main hall as he thought, the Mayor, who was in his 40s, was being threatened with two guns near his neck.
He and his two wives and children were besieged, the guards and servants could not do much because these warriors who came were mostly from the great warrior level. To defeat them would require at least five residence guards for one swordsman.
"I'll give you one more chance" the swordsman threatened with a cruel look. "Tomorrow you must gather the children of this city immediately, without exception! Or the... You'll feel the consequences!"
The Mayor's face turned frantic when one of his wives was pulled by a knife. One wrong move his skin will be pierced by a sharp sword.
"Ja-don't hurt my wife-" the man gulped down heavily, his breath heaving. His fat body was sweating excessively to make his skin look like it was coated with oil.
"I will do it right now if you allow me and my family to be free!"
Xin Chen who was undercover among the Mayor's children started to feel excessive worry, this all became very difficult for him. Stealing the artifact he did not think would be fatal like this, but his decision could not be said to be wrong.
Had the piece of Phoenix Steel fallen in the hands of the Valley of the Gods that might have been planning something, it was likely that they would have used it for something bad.
Meanwhile one of the mayor's sons who was not that far from Xin Chen narrowed his eyes, he remembered that he did not have a brother like Xin Chen.
"Hey... Are you my new brother? Why is your face only now visible?"
Xin Chen nodded as the mayor's four children were turned away from him rather than their father's life being on edge.
There was a dull sound from Xin Chen's mouth, in terms of evading the child's most champion. Ren Yuan alone never even knew that messing up his flower garden every day was Xin Chen, not a wild animal.
"Khem, look. I'm actually a twin..." Xin Chen pointed at one of their origin. "Your return, but because of unexpected things, I couldn't be born and instead–"
"Hey, what are you guys making a fuss over there?!" One of the men rebuked them, then the children of the mayor fell silent.
The Mayor's first wife looked at Xin Chen in silence, for a moment her eyes clashed with Xin Chen's eyes. It seems that the boy asked him to be quiet about this.
Soon they apparently reached an agreement, if until 9 am the Mayor does not collect all the small children from where he will be killed.
The mayor hugged his wife anxiously, after the entourage from the Silver Pagoda Association left he could breathe freely. Shortly after, Xin Chen approached her.
Somewhat confused and in question mark the Mayor replied. "Do you have any valuable things they mean?"
"Yes, I'll give it to you as a guarantee of your life. But on one condition, give me information about the Valley of the Gods. Where are they at the moment? I need it so much."
The Mayor could hardly believe there was a child like Xin Chen, he said it straightforwardly like not knowing what to do nearly jeopardized the safety of his family's life.
"You thought it would be that easy, after you stole that thing and put my family in threat–"
"If you don't want to, I'm just offering. In this position you actually need me. Without these artifacts you'll lose them." Xin Chen pointed at his wife and children.
Feeling that what Xin Chen said was true and the Mayor was silent, he seemed to want to argue again to maintain his pride, feeling that Xin Chen's actions were unfair.
How else has it all happened. The mayor accepted his request.
"Look, did someone named Xu Ming ever report something to you guys to deal with immediately? Like a murder or something?"
The mayor did not remember much about this because the one who received the report was his subordinate, he appointed his subordinate.
"Young Master, we did receive a report like you meant but didn't really know the problem."
"That's because you are not serious about carrying out your duties and ignoring everything until something bad happens easily. Look at it, it's like you're seeing someone killing you but you don't intend to stop it."
Xin Chen's grunts were like stabbing the Mayor, the fat man was unwilling to answer because his safety was currently in Xin Chen's hands.
"Then surely this Uncle Xu Ming gave a report or something? Can you give me all that? With this artifact instead."
An ancient paper artifact appeared in his hand. The mayor was about to grab it but Xin Chen first kept it in a robe.
"I'll wait outside, ten minutes, prepare what I ask. And I'll be out of here soon."
Obviously the Mayor squeezed his hands in anxiety, he looked a little unsettled at Xin Chen. If the mask that was attached to his face did not exist, perhaps the man would hate this child of the Demon Sword.
Xin Chen did not care much about the gazes of the people inside the hall, instead he was relieved that this could be resolved by peaceful means without having to kill.
Arriving in front of the Xin Chen residence summoned the spirit of the owner of the Blood Ghost Mask, slightly whispering to him.
"Can you change the contents of the message on this artifact?"
The spirit nodded in agreement without asking much, The Lightning Fox who was watching him from above could only smile a little.
"Sy little boy. Suitable for this little devil." Mumbled slowly.
