The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 166 - The Ritual of Summoning
"Shut up and do as I command."
"Okay, I understand." The woman bowed before finally disappearing behind the darkness, she refocused her gaze behind the window where the entire fight was clearly visible. A very, very safe place to build a base and made with thick metal. Any type of attack will not be able to knock down its hideout, and neither the fighters nor the soldiers are suspicious because of its small shape.
The figure of the woman had returned so quickly, after being invited to speak new he said. "Great General Liu has regained consciousness. He was in the basement room, Emperor Qing had also arrived with his two bodyguards."
"Hahahaha I didn't expect the man to bother coming to such a narrow place. Take him to the ritual room."
"Well," said the woman and disappeared again as before. The masked man turned around, flicked his black robe and entered the room without any light. His figure disappeared in the darkness.
The candle stuck to the wall swayed in the wind, the stuffy air was hot as Liu Fengying took a breath. The headquarters that was built brought this land was a place that had been prepared by the Valley of the Gods to perform the summoning ritual. The half-stealthy man slammed his hand against the wall. Seeing the cuts and burns he received after the fight earlier. He did not quite remember what happened but one thing was certain, the person who did it was Xin Chen.
"You pissed? Getting angry? Or desperate?"
"A-hah, yes. That boy, if I see you again, I'll make sure to twist his neck. Really..." Liu Fengying did not continue her grunt, near the figure she did not dare to speak much anymore. Considering what was going to be done to him was terrifying, just imagine that Liu Fengying wanted to immediately run away from the room.
"No need to be disappointed." His hand clad in black gloves pulled Liu Fengying's chin, forcing him to look into the eyes behind the mask. Cold sweat poured down Liu Fengying's forehead, an eyeball filled with deep hatred. He will never find that much vengeance in anyone's eyes.
"Because you can even kill our main opponent at once. Khekhe."
The man's throat sound was like the sound of a monster that had not eaten for a week, Liu Fengying gulped roughly. His heart did not stop beating. Whether it's a compliment or just a word of encouragement, but he felt there was a danger behind the sweet talk.
"I think my role here is enough, I won't seek my revenge again for the death of my dear son."
"You've been battered to this extent and asked to surrender on your day of judgment. It was the Demon Sword that killed your son. And you must avenge your son's death if you want his soul to be at peace."
Liu Fengying clenched her hands tightly, the veins in her hands were clearly visible. He harbored his anger all along, reminiscing about his son to the very second that he was completely alone. Losing everything by Xin Fai, her dreams and hopes were also shattered into pieces. There was nothing left since that day, the day that Xin Fai came and avenged the deaths of her two parents.
"He took everything from me...." Unknowingly the man shed tears, "But today I just remembered what he said that day, the day he came with the same anger as I felt this time. He said 'I've lost everything because of what you did' and I think it's a punishment for me."
The man's tone with the crow mask began to sound even colder, "So you're choosing to betray me now?"
Liu Fengying looked up, finding that horror had greeted her. If he could see the expression behind the mask it might be that Liu Fengying would faint.
"Sa-I don't dare my Lord! It's just ...." Liu Fengying again could only gulp. His back was cold and his shoulders were shaking violently. The killing aura felt so close that he could not catch his breath.
The killer Eve was pulled back by the man she called the master. His speech that looked extremely excited, Liu Fengying even until now did not understand the man's way of thinking and was only able to follow his orders.
"With what is my Lord?"
"Emperor Qing has entrusted us to this matter. If we fail to obtain the Demonic Human Sword and the Celestial Emperor Sword then he will only hold back the embarrassment. You don't know how many thousands of soldiers he's prepared to kill us?"
Liu Fengying knew full well, militarily the Qing Empire could not be doubted. They had hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were enough to take down the Shang Empire. But such a war would violate the peace treaty between the Three Empires that had been made in antiquity.
But if it's a conflict about the seizure of heirlooms may be problematic. The Qing Emperor considered the heirloom that came from his place was worthy of belonging to the Qing Empire but the Shang Empire did not recognize it. By utilizing powerful demons and old enemies Xin Fai, without raising the war flag to kill all the people of their Empire the Qing Emperor felt it was enough to obtain both heirlooms by force.
"He'll be here soon, my lord." The woman standing behind him spoke, not so long ago appeared Emperor Yin. The leader of the Qing Empire who was in full power and had a great responsibility to regain what was felt was the property of the people of the Qing Empire.
"Is everything going well?"
"As expected, Your Majesty." The crow mask user said calmly. He said, "But it looks like we need one more weapon to destroy the Demon Sword."
"What's that?"
"Queen of the Devil."
Liu Fengying was choked by her own saliva while Emperor Yin was silent for quite a while, he had never seen who the Demon Queen was but it was rumored that there had been a fight involving the demon queen and she was one of the strongest enemies that was even said to be invincible.
"How can you say that so easily? He is not a human like you called Han Zilong or Han Wu, even to gain the Dark Dragon's trust you nearly died hundreds of times. If only you didn't have that jewel ..."
"Hahahaha it's easy, we just need this Third Sheet, a vessel and blood from the woman who inherited the blood of the devil."
Liu Fengying began to feel a threat as the man spoke while looking at her.
"And in fact today is very, very appropriate to get whatever we need for the ritual of summoning ...." Again he chuckled, his voice so horrible to hear. "Bring the woman here."
The woman who became his right hand nodded, as soon as he returned from the prison room two came with a woman wrapped pretty by wedding clothes. She was Xin Xia. The younger brother of Xin Fai and the future wife of Lan An, his body was tightly bound by chains until it bled out.
