The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 357 - Death Penalty
Wei feng looked so panicked, no different from Yu Xiong who started shaking his head unconvinced. Both of them did not dare to look at General-1 who was now heading towards the two of them, his footsteps slowly down the yellow dust that flew in the wind.
The first pass was aimed at Wei Feng, the man seemed to be growling as he snapped at him. "Tell me who are you?!"
Everyone could hear the loud noise, Wei Feng jumped into place. "Take me or I'll burn you all here!"
Wei Feng opened his mouth stuttering, he could not continue his sentence as one of the soldiers came and gave a report to the 1-general. The man answered nothing but to continue staring at Wei Feng with scruffy eyes.
"We found this in their room."
She handed him a piece of shabby cloth with an old emblem, Yu Xiong widened his eyes and was about to chase after the cloth. His fear became even more real as the soldier carrying the cloth glanced at him while whispering.
Initially the 1-general was about to check on Wei Feng first because it had been the man who had most vigorously hidden his friend. His heavy footsteps moved towards Yu Xiong who was not far away. He let out a heavy voice that sounded lashed out.
"This is yours?"
Yu Xiong did not dare to answer no, because if he dodged his friend who would be his next target, Yu Xiong nodded stiffly. "The symbol of this clan ...."
The inscriptions and symbols were foreign to the people of the Qing empire.
He did not mind the clan that Yu Xiong brought, but what concerned him was that the emblem had distinctive symbols and carvings. Yu Xiong's mother gave the object as an ancestral inheritance that must be passed on to posterity. Because even though it was just a piece of cloth, on it was carved an ancient emblem and made using gold.
The suspicion towards them grew even greater while neither Xin Chen nor Wei Feng were allowed to speak. Each one in front of their necks was exactly a sword ready to cut off the heads of the two.
Now that Yu Xiong was surrounded by General-1, as if surrounded by flames that were ready to kill him at any moment, Yu Xiong did not even dare to take a breath. His face was pale like a corpse, until finally the 1-general shouted back. Breaking the silence in the vast field filled with many people. No one dared to make a sound if it was a 1-general, because as long as it trained in the district they had already been commemorated about the figure of the ruler of the 1-district which was the largest district in the Qing Empire.
"Give me all the information you have! Take them out and unravel the identity of the intruder who dared to enter our territory!"
His shout was like an explosion that instantly made everyone chaotic. The entire army dispersed and left only a few standing guard near the new soldiers. Xin Chen had yet to take any action, he moved then his neck and Wei Feng's neck were instantly beheaded. While Yu Xiong's situation ahead was even more dire. Maybe at that time he thought only a miracle could save them.
"How is this?" Sweat splashed on Wei Feng's face beside Xin Chen, his breathing was intermittent as well as his face became increasingly panicked as soon as someone was brought towards them.
Youji was dragged by two large-bodied soldiers, he was shocked when he saw the three friends in front. Being a spectacle where everyone was silent for a thousand languages, just closed their eyes and did not want to interfere in the affairs of General-1 who was raging.
Youji was just thrown on the ground, he saw clearly two of his friends Wei Feng and Xin Chen were being held captive, while Yu Xiong was dealing with someone who had a sadistic nature. Despite not knowing who the man was yet, Youji could tell how terrifying he was from everyone's gaze.
"You guys are alive?" Youji breathed a sigh of relief. Xin Chen replied with caution.
"What do you mean you're alive?"
"They told me if I didn't answer honestly then the three of you would be killed."
Youji did not understand what Wei Feng had just said, in the dormitory earlier he was threatened with using weapons to tell where they came from. Youji is fine if by keeping his mouth shut, his life will be snatched away. But when the soldier said that his three friends were already on the field for the death penalty, Youji immediately said what he should not have said.
"This person has already admitted that they are from the Shang Empire, my lord." The man bent his knees giving great respect to general-1. but the figure he was in contact with just passed by and stepped on his palm on the ground.
"Truely my guess .. precisely I have been waiting for this time to arrive, the enemy who came to the cage of his own enemy ..."
The man moved towards Xin Chen who was silent for a thousand languages, "I found you. And today I'm gonna get rid of you."
"We can prove that we are the people of this empire-!" cut off Wei Feng who immediately got a warning next to him. The man did not dare to continue, he knew one more letter came out of his mouth, his neck would be pierced by the sword.
"Do something, Chen. Or we're done today." whispered Wei Feng. As if paying no heed to Wei Feng, General-1 continued to approach Xin Chen.
"Who are you?"
Not a single answer came out from Xin Chen.
"Don't tell me you're the Devil Sword's son?"
On target. His guess really didn't miss. Yet Xin Chen continued to silence his mouth, no matter how good he was at stringing words together, all of that would only trap them in the widening trouble.
"I don't see the blood of the descendants of the Qing Empire flowing in your veins."
If Wei Feng could see the face of General-1, he would have fainted. The murderous Eve instantly made Wei Feng and the others' knees limp. Even those over ten meters away were still affected.
"You're saying you can prove that you're not an intruder?"
The instant the 1-general turned to Wei Feng, the man was shocked. He wanted to make a sound to defend himself and his friends. But a force restrained him and it came from General-1. His mouth could not make any sound.
"You see, you have no defense and just pass the time."
The four of them became a terrifying spectacle material for everyone. No one knows who that man is. Many people say that they should be careful if they argue with him. 'One answer will throw you into the abyss of hell'. Although Xin Chen did not know that but from the way he spoke he already knew what would put them even more in danger.
"Your silence will only get us killed." Wei Feng seemed to know why Xin Chen kept his mouth shut. He was really begging this time.
"Remember, hundreds of thousands of lives depend on your decision today."
And until the second that General-1 announced the death penalty for them, Xin Chen still did not defend himself.
