The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 1 - Ten Years Passed
The sky darkened with a tinge of orange on the western horizon. The wind blew slowly and the birds returned to the nest. Far to the east, at the foot of the White Mist Valley Mountain and surrounded by lush hills and trees stood a house filled with various tools for sword and martial exercises.
Important guests passed from the house from morning until evening, from all the guests one of the sturdy man with a friendly gaze had just come after a long time of not visiting.
Lan An, the second most feared warrior of the Shang Empire had come not for some important business. More precisely he only wanted to meet Xin Xia, the sweet girl whose beauty was beyond doubt.
Too many people have fallen in love with her. Yet out of those around a hundred people only Lan An was too intent on having one.
Lan An turned her gaze for a while after meeting Xin Xia in front of the house, she looked for the owner of the house who had gone out of nowhere. The person he was looking for was hard to find.
Too much business to take care of made his old friend rarely come home, until one time Lan An had heard Ren Yuan complaining about it.
Xin Xia told Lan An how much she missed her sister-in-law by day night so it was only natural that she knew a lot of their problems.
Meanwhile Lan An heard a voice from the backyard of the house, like the sound of wood pounding each other. He immediately approached the direction of the sound and could guess who was practicing the sword until a dark afternoon like this.
"Ah, that kid... He was as stubborn as his father," muttered Lan An.
Arriving in the backyard the first thing he met was a family gathering there full of warmth. The glow of the campfire in the middle illuminated the courtyard that afternoon. His eyes looked at the old friend with a smile.
"Finally you listened to what I said! Xin Fai, when did you come back here? I don't think you've been back in five months?" exclaimed Lan An while sitting himself on a bench made of stone carvings.
Ren Yuan turned his glance with a small smile, he still continued to lean his head on Xin Fai's shoulder. Reluctant to release. Afraid that her husband would go away for months and leave her again.
"I've done my job, after all I miss my little family."
"It's good that if you still remember them, at least Ren Yuan won't be as violent as yesterday to me."
"You mean?"
"What did you say?" Ren Yuan said, feeling himself being offended followed by the hue of his cheeks that began to blush.
Although it had been eleven years since her marriage to Xin Fai was held very impromptu, but her beautiful face still looked beautiful. No wonder any man would steal a glance when he saw her passing by.
Lan An coughed small, she turned her eyes over the vast courtyard of the house. The place where Xin Fai and her two twins used to practice swords. The two boys with almost similar faces and ten years old were busy fighting there.
Xin Fai watched the fight of her two little children, although she also felt unbearable with one of them. Xin Chen, her youngest child, fell face down on the ground from the impromptu attack that Xin Zhan had unleashed. The eldest son pulled out a wooden sword after that. Turned his face away with disgust.
"Your 307th fight is still losing to me, you are really weak" Xin Zhan commented at will. Ren Yuan then helped Xin Chen get up from the ground with his hand that rubbed his son's face. Full of bruises and cuts.
"Hm... I thought you were pretty good at assessing the situation." Xin Chen tried to get up by supporting his body using a wooden sword, with the help of Ren Yuan he was finally able to stand up straight as before.
Although his body was still quite young, Xin Chen had a fairly tough body. Only, there was one big flaw in him. His martial skills were low.
"I don't lose to you, as long as you know. I only found 307 ways to lose to you!"
"Haha! So cool! Your son Chen is so cool in style!" lan An excited. Xin Chen rubbed the base of his nose proudly, indeed Lan An had always been on his side.
His hands trembled as the attack struck. And without him noticing, his body bounced back to the ground. His brother did not hesitate to attack.
"Don't take your weakness as a pride, you won't thrive. It's only natural that people underestimate you, even when the White Fog Valley sect disciples attack you can only grin like a fool!"
"Zhan'er, that's enough. Go inside the house." Xin Fai mediated, before she had time to separate them Xin Zhan had already spoken spicy again. I don't know where the cruel and cold nature is declining from.
Xin Zhan, although he was still 10 years old, his strength could not be underestimated. He had entered the intermediate swordsman stage at such a young age. He was considered a genius.
Plus his attitude is disciplined, meticulous and very good at reasoning situations. He has managed to kill many demons that disturb the tranquility of the village. Not to mention canceling the plans of the assassins in the raid of the Ren clan residence. If, if calculated, Xin Zhan's strength is able to compensate warriors who have been around 20 years old.
Unlike the case with Xin Chen, hearing his name alone Ren Yuan had already taken a deep breath. Compared to Xin Zhan, Xin Chen had a friendly character and easily blended in anywhere.
His attitude never gave up even though he was humiliated as low as possible. Because of that, Xin Zhan was angry with her. But in the fight he was always unreliable, even to catch a forest rabbit he was already in trouble. This is what causes people to judge it with one eye.
"You have absolutely no ability to fight. Just embarrassing me in front of his friends. Remember this, Chen. The name of the first Imperial Pillar will be mine. Don't ever think you can get it with that power of yours."
Xin Chen was speechless accompanied by his hand squeezing the ground. The child's face was bowed in like it wanted to rebel. But in the end he was able to see the truth in Xin Zhan's words. That he is too bad. It's so lame that it's unreliable.
Xin Chen was not very well known even though he was the son of the legendary swordsman, the Demon Sword. Since the incident a few years ago, which left her grandmother so badly injured that she had to be paralyzed because her carelessness made people's views change. He is just a burden on the family.
Xin Chen, on the day of the Ren clan's attack a few years ago, made her grandmother sacrifice so that she was not exposed to deadly poison
His grandmother sacrificed a lot for him. Therefore, some members of the Ren clan sneered at him.
At the same time several White Mist Valley disciples passed through their residence and accidentally saw Xin Chen had fallen to the ground. Surely they can guess what happened.
"He's completely useless. You see, during sword practice he was always scolded. The mastery of his sword technique and inner power was also extremely poor. I wonder if he really is the son of the Demon Sword?"
Again scorn and ridicule were thrown at him, making Xin Chen feel even more depressed.
