The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 256 - Two Heavenly Heritage
It was inconceivable how bad the relationship between the human race and the demons of the past, Xin Fai smiled for a moment.
"I'll say it if we meet again someday. Perhaps if Qiang Jun were here he would be very happy, seeing that there was one person still defending him until this second. I'm sure he understood your mouth used to be silenced so as not to defend him back then."
"You know so much, thank you in advance, all I'm doing right now is returning the favor first. Qiang Jun has done a lot of good for my family and has not been able to repay him at all until he is not even once."
"For that you gave up the rest of your life and sealed your soul in this village?"
"Yes... When the Celestial Emperor died I immediately brought his corpse here because he once asked me to isolate his body so as not to be taken over by the enemy, just in case I said that his grave was in Daan Village. Until this information was leaked, I committed a very big sin. Make all the residents in this place die and use them as weapons so that no one can touch this place."
"You're doing well but still the wrong way..." Xin Fai commented modestly. He exhaled slowly, unconsciously now that the lightning raging on the hill had subsided, changing into a drizzling rain that felt calming.
The evil energy of the Dark Lord had thinned because he knew that Xin Fai was no threat.
"Then can I visit Qiang Jun's tomb?"
"Go in the morning, when the night of the demons that rule the hill are wandering, they will come down when the sun comes."
"so yeah. I'll wait for him here with my friend, maybe you're willing to tell the story of your past to both of us?" Xin Fai seemed to think for a moment. "Maybe three," he errs when he remembers a tiger coming with him.
"In such a wet situation? Spirits like me might have no effect but for humans, wouldn't you be cold?"
"I've felt the icy hell, this drizzling rain will not deter me at all," he replied recalling a very cold waterfall first. Comparing it to ordinary rainwater would certainly not be equivalent.
Xin Fai disappeared for a while to call Lan An and the tigers inside the shophouse, before long they returned to meet the Dark Lord spirit who was waiting on the porch of a small house.
"Where will I start telling you?"

The air is still very cold. The orange color spray gives the impression that the night has just ended. No longer the moon or the stars that adorn the sky, the night has sunk changed with the dim warmth of the dawn.
Xin Fai blinked as the sound of clattering of legs before him, he opened his eyes still trying to collect lives for a while. Before long he could see the tiger sitting in front of him, his face looked very serious.
"What are you doing?"
The tiger was unmoved, seemingly trying to hold him accountable for his dead nails and claws. Xin Fai thought about that as well, he felt a sense of guilt again, going after all in yesterday's fight if it wasn't the tiger that was injured then it was him who should be injured. The only way to defeat by not killing is to cut off his fangs and nails.
While thinking about it he turned his head towards the broken window, clearly revealing the sunlight that had just risen infiltrating the wooden floor. Make it have a name that would be suitable for the animal.
"Ri Chu, meaning sunrise. How's it?"
The tiger did not flinch and did not seem to like the name, but Xin Fai had no other name in his head. He immediately got up as Ri Chu left, the tiger's new name.
The night after telling them many things the Dark Lord immediately disappeared in the darkness of the night, leaving no trace at all. It seems that he has a problem that must be dealt with immediately.
Feeling that the Dark Lord could not possibly accompany them up the hill Xin Fai made up his own mind, he would go with Lan An and Ri Chu to the tomb of Qiang Jun. Based on his own memory where the exact location of the lightning struck last night more or less Xin Fai knew where to go.
The steep cliffs look like they enclose the high hill, even though the great power that attracts natural energy such as lightning must have come from the Celestial Emperor Sword, Xin Fai could believe it because he had used it before. The sword had the privilege of absorbing energy to sharpen itself and release it as the owner used its power.
While the evil energy they had been feeling all along came from the Demonic Human Sword. That power would indeed not be comparable to the evil energy that the Dark Lord unleashed last night.
Even within a range of hundreds of meters the strength of the two swords was still enormous. It was inconceivable what would happen if people abused the power of two swords that could pose such a great threat, although it could not use it but the power it unleashed could still be utilized in various ways.
Small rivers flow fast, moist forests because it is always rained every night. A thin fog of smoke blocked their view far ahead, Lan An noticed his footing and realized there were snake stealth scales in this place. Indeed facing one or two snake stealth is not a big problem, but different stories if they find a snake nest, besides that the rainy season is the time snake eggs hatch.
Imagining this hill always raining all the time he could already guess how many snakes they had to face in this place. They should have waited for the Dark Lord to return but unfortunately that was not necessarily the case. It could be that the Dark Lord would not return and was forced to make them wait for tomorrow morning again in order to explore the hill.
The sound of snake hiss began to sound on the high branches of the trees, both Lan An and Xin Fai put on a vigilant attitude. There were unexpected attacks coming. Ri Chu walked like a no-load, following his instincts to an enormous source of strength. It was obvious that the wild beast had already memorized the forests of Guangfu village, this place was his own home.
Almost half an hour of walking in no direction, sneaking through the snake's nest and dodging away when they find a scorpion carcass twice the size of a human body they can finally feel the power of the two swords getting closer. Forests that were previously lush green foliage are now inversely proportional to the forest that is ahead there.
The trunk of the tree that had been charred and had absolutely no leaves on its branch stood firm like it had been struck by lightning dozens of times. Other trees also get the same thing, lightning that constantly comes to this hill never moved. Like being attracted by one great power capable of controlling nature, at one point a stone tomb was seen in front of them along with two great swords that were now stuck to the ground. Each of them gave off a golden and red glow, making anyone would be amazed to see the two legendary swords directly.
Lan An was unceasingly stunned at the sight of the tomb, even though it was only made of simple stone but the power radiating there was completely inhumane. The Sword of the Celestial Emperor is like a virtue and the Sword of the Demon Man is like a sin, the two opposite things are owned by the figure he so admired, namely Qiang Jun.
Now Lan An could see Qiang Jun's figure directly inside Xin Fai, as he pulled the two swords from the ground and the earth trembled, the heirloom weapon glowed briefly recognizing its new user.
But just getting the two swords a bunch of swordsmen had arrived before them, brandishing swords to fight over the two heavenly heirlooms.
"The two swords belong to the Qing Empire! You have no right to take it off our land!"
