The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 313 - Familiarity
The night came, but the battle of the two was not yet over. Neither Huo Rong nor Xin Chen opened any gaps in the enemy. The fight that had gone through those two hours made Shui sleepy, he burned the fish he had just caught. Finishing filling the stomachs of the two people was not finished yet.
"You're pretty tough too, young man. Usually spirit controllers like you don't care about physical endurance and swordsmanship. Fascinating."
I don't know how much Huo Rong spoke like she was already looking for information about herself, Xin Chen had time to suspect why this person knew of his infiltration plan plus Huo Rong had strength that ordinary humans rarely had.
Just a split second Huo Rong saw the gap, Xin Chen started to lose his balance. The opportunity was immediately welcomed. However, Xin Chen unexpectedly trapped him and poked Huo Rong's leg, making the man fall with both knees bent in front of him.
Huo Rong was forced to raise her face upwards as Xin Chen's sword eyes were just below her chin.
"You're losing."
"It's not that easy"
The sword in Huo Rong's hand was taken for granted and Xin Chen used it to lock in his movements. His shoulder was kicked to a fall lying on the ground, while the two swords in Xin Chen's hand crossed between his neck. Ready to take his life at any time
"Why didn't you kill me?"
Huo Rong still looked calm, completely unafraid even once Xin Chen had completely cut off her neck. Meanwhile Xin Chen noticed Huo Rong even more clearly.
"I don't think I need to kill you."
"Hm? If you take this sword off, you'll be killed."
Xin Chen completely took off Huo Rong, the man was astonished by her.
"Hey, I told you that if you let me go you'd kill me."
"Then try to do it."
Huo Rong growled involuntarily, she actually approached and swung her sword at Xin Chen, only remaining a tip of a sharp nail slit her neck but the young man did not move at all. Making Huo Rong stop and undo her intentions.
"Why? You scared?"
"Killing a self-surrender is a shame to me."
Huo Rong turned her face away, completely unable to return Xin Chen's gaze which was as if she was reading his lie.
"I expected it from the beginning." The word came out from Xin Chen a few seconds after, and it was enough to make Huo Rong hot cold.
"Alleged what?"
"You must be a hero who can't kill a defenseless enemy."
Huo Rong breathed a sigh of relief, instead of looking panicked she just put on her arrogant attitude. "Ck of course, as a figure that many humans believe I wouldn't be able to hurt those who are innocent"
Xin Chen cut in, "Lies. I actually know who you are."
Even before Xin Chen passed it on, Huo Rong was already back in a cold sweat. Xin Chen approached with a terrifying look.
On target.
Huo Rong did not know what Xin Chen's head was like to be able to figure it out quickly. Whereas since long ago again, there was never a single human who realized he was a Demon Ruler of Earth.
"alright. You're winning. I just want to test you. No more than that." Huo Rong or Fire Salamender squatted on a dead tree trunk then sat on it, resting his exhausted body. Just like Shui, with their human form they lost so much original strength. But only a few demons were able to master this change of form and the Lightning Fox was not included in it.
"I admit you're pretty smart, too. How do you know it's me and the Water Dragon just so you can't remember who I am?"
Shui felt called out, he was actually already asleep. Seeing the fight stop just now he remembered to wake up.
"Ah, yes. I forgot to say. This freak is the lizard Salamender. Hoamm ..."
Shui yawned widely, he did not see Huo Rong in the middle of the beard fire in front of him.
"I already know. It's just that I need proof. Moreover, he said that he was the former Ten Strongest."
"I didn't lie about that." Huo Rong folded both hands in front of her chest, because the temperature there was so cold, she created a flame that illuminated as well as warmed around them.
"For once, I was once one of the Ten Strongest. About a hundred years ago ... Maybe I spent almost a thousand years mixing with humans. Until finally my situation was threatened and I returned to this stealth form. And be met with that person ..."
Until there Huo Rong did not continue the story, making Xin Chen curious about who exactly the figure of 'that person' who actually revealed it. He seemed to be so precious, to the point that his death made Huo Rong very sad.
"I'm sorry for his loss."
"What do you think he is?"
A moment Xin Chen only raised his face, for a moment it opened its eyes looking at Huo Rong who was looking at him curiously.
"He's a fool."
Although it sounded cruel, Huo Rong was unable to deny what Xin Chen said was true. Not only did he get there, he continued by throwing his gaze at the night sky filled with the sparkling of thousands of stars.
"He is a man who will not hesitate to throw away his life for the sake of others. He is so kind that the enemy thinks he should be an easy fool to play with. Though everyone knows, people seem to have a firmness that is as hard as a rock."
Subconsciously Xin Chen was actually telling about the figure he was beginning to miss, the figure that always illuminated his pitch-black path, the figure that received it as everyone spat at him. And he is his father, who still supports him when everyone is trying to take him down.
"You know him like you know your own brother."
"No. I'm just talking about my dad."
Huo Rong brought her closer to her seat, "Right? I seem to be interested in him. Tell me, hurry!"
Xin Chen started discussing it from all the cool things that were so imprinted in his memory. Unexpectedly, Huo Rong felt the same sense of astonishment as they felt. For this one thing alone, Shui felt the two were so familiar. Even to the point of discussing the activities in the morning Xin Fai. Shui came to think of how the male expression was when he saw these two allies. Surely he will put on a stupid look while scratching his ears.
The conversation continued until midnight, when Shui fell asleep again and fell asleep. The two discussed other things that seemed interesting. Huo Rong suddenly recalled the rhythm that Xin Chen had played through the flute earlier.
"Where do you know about Water Smiling?"
