The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 104 - Dark Demon
In the explanation of the Lightning Fox, Xin Chen also just knew a lot of things that he had not known all along. It used to be said that even after the Elemental Spirits bequeathed their power to the Earth Ruler Demon there was still a great fight between the demons. Out of the ten of them, there was one power that rose up in an unusual way - the Dark Element and was manifested in the form of the Dark Demon.
Even in his own life the Lightning Fox claimed to have never encountered the demon until he finally realized that one by one the energy of the Earth Ruler Demon element disappeared and was killed by the Dark Demon. If true, at least now there are only 5 to 6 Earth Ruling Demon that still survive.
"The Dark Smiles seem to want only power and the cunning humans are crazy about power. You think if they work together what will happen to this world?"
"Against the Dark Demon and humans like that? I can hardly believe it.., You said I had to fight against a power that had already taken the power of the 5 Spirit Elements and killed the 5 Demon Rulers of the Earth while fighting you alone I was already breathless.."
Xin Chen could only mourn for himself. He did not know why his shoulders had become so heavy when he knew the truth that the Lightning Fox had been keeping all this time. At first he thought saving the Heavenly Heirloom Han Zilong created was the only way to save the world from destruction.
Unfortunately now that everything felt different, that Sky Treasure was only a small matter that he had to solve before the matter that the Lightning Fox said arrived.
Xin Chen subconsciously leaned his back on the tree trunk, "You just said it now, Fox Master?"
"If I say it at the beginning you'll back off immediately."
A wry laugh rang out from his mouth, Xin Chen shook his head in thought. Even if he told his father it would only add the same pressure, whereas his father had far more problems that he had to solve than Xin Chen himself.
Xin Chen had indeed been devastated to know this truth, though, although the chaos in the Shang Empire was already evident now but the fact that the Dark Demon had finished off five at a time the Earth Ruler Demon made him almost distrustful of what he was facing right now.
"If people say we have powers equal to Gods then the Dark Demon is the God of the demons. You understand what I mean, don't you?"
"The first strongest light of the Ice Dragon, then what about the Dark Demon?"
"He was uncounted as part of the Ten Earth Demon Lords. The Spirit Element had chosen him but because his strength was too strong and he preferred to use his power for destruction. Then the Dark Demon is not recognized as the Ten Earth Ruler Demon."
"Now I understand, and then you have a solution to this problem?"
"If the course of the Forbidden Book has already been studied, then the only way is to stop the Dark Demon as it attacks and kills it with your own hands."
"I feel like I don't have any more bones..." Xin Chen's body was limp, imagining himself confronting the forces of darkness and preparing to be killed. Although he cannot die or in another sense immortal, but it could be that eternity has conditions.
It could have been that the power seal of the Sun God Pill had been broken in some way. The matter of the Sun God Pill had not had time to be taken care of because it was too busy with the Sky Heirloom.
"But... Wait..." Xin Chen recalled the day where he and Xin Zhan met the figure that came with the dragon that attacked him in the White Fog Valley. "The dragon that day attacked me, does he have any connection to the Dark Demon?"
"Most likely yes, that day coincided with the day where I came out of the Mist Forest and felt an unusual power. You know who attacked you that day?" The Lightning Fox certainly knew this right from the start, even long before the Dragon Xin Chen had intended to attack he had already sniffed out such a powerful existence around the White Fog Valley.
It certainly had its own effect on the demons in the Mist Forest, the sense of threat to the aura of the Dark Demon lord made them wary. The Lightning Fox itself rarely used its strength to intimidate fellow demons, such strength was usually used to subdue its fellows.
It was just that the Dark Demon clearly wanted to destroy the Ten Earth Rulers Demon. With the disappearance one by one of the existence of the elemental power given by the Spirit Element, of course it was caused by the creature. He lives to seize all power and only thinks of mastering it.
"I can't remember... Besides, even if I see him, he's completely unrecognizable. His strength could no longer be said to be that of a human, he was more like a monster."
The Lightning Fox shook her head slowly, just thinking about it already gave her a headache. Therefore from the beginning the Lightning Fox was a bit reluctant to discuss this problem. Because knowing the problem they discussed was quite severe even until now the Lightning Fox was not sure he had the right solution to overcome it.
"Oh, yeah..."
"Aren't you afraid of all this?" Asked the Lightning Fox quite curious, seeing Xin Chen still thinking seriously and the invisible look of a scared face there.
"If I'm afraid, everyone is afraid and you are afraid and then who will fight the Dark Demon?" Xin Chen threw back the question, The Lightning Fox fell silent then smiled. "As usual, something like this won't make you fall."
"Well I just need to get stronger and stronger, I need to gather weapons and find where the Dark Demon is."
The Lightning Fox cut out, "And don't forget, in which case it's likely that your greatest enemy isn't just the Dark Demon. But perhaps that human would be one of the strongest humans."
"H-huh?" Xin Chen reflexively raised a surprised face, "Wait, what did you say earlier? The strongest man you say?"
The Lightning Fox slightly regretted why she had to tell this in the first place. It was not that wanting to make Xin Chen slump to see the opponent he was about to face forward was extremely strong. But so that he can prepare himself as best he can until that day comes.
"You already know that not the Ice Dragon was killed by your father?"
"That's what I know."
"You think that if the Dark Demon took special powers from the Ice Dragon, what would be left of the demon corpse?"
Xin Chen tightened his two eyebrows puzzled, he tried to slightly examine the Lightning Fox intent. "What special power is the Ice Dragon?"
"Stop, speed up and turn back time."
Xin Chen was impressed to hear it, but on the other hand he still had to answer the Lightning Fox's question. "What's left... The bodies?"
"You never realized the reason why Gu Long from the Golden Wasp Hill killed the demons?"
"For the sake of the stealth gem?"
"Yes, the stronger the demon gems then the power and benefits are going crazier as well. Let alone the equivalent of the strongest Earth Ruler Demon..."
"Then what are the advantages of the Ice Dragon's gem?"
The Lightning Fox exhaled heavily.
