The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 170 - The Intermediary
"You're getting stronger, Brother Zhan."
Suddenly Xin Zhan was silent, he did not answer anything. But before long he finally opened his mouth again, with a slightly moody face.
"Are you hurting me?"
"Don't be reckless, the last time I saw you, you could kill a savage demon easily. And now, even the great warrior is no longer your match."
Xin Zhan laughed a little, only this time did his sister see that laugh after so many years of living with him and only a fierce face was displayed. Xin Zhan's personality was much more mature than what Xin Chen had seen before.
He continued, "And so! I think you're better suited to be the first Imperial Pillar! Ah, seeing you can lead the soldiers here and your calm nature. Compared to me, you're more suited to that honor."
As Xin Zhan looked into his eyes, Xin Chen was completely sincere in saying so. He smiled a little and then extended a hand.
"Then you wake up so quickly, there are already some Seniors and also our Empire's heroes to help Father. In the meantime, you should come with me to Fanlu City. I've been waiting for us there."
But Xin Zhan's helping hand was not welcoming, she pulled back her hand awkwardly and looked at her curious sister.
"Well! I shouldn't be acting so well in front of you!"
Xin Chen woke up with his own strength, seeing Xin Zhan hesitating.
"Please take care of Mom, I'll keep Dad here."
"What-what!?"
"I promised to protect her. Whatever happens, ah, and also no need to worry. I think I know the origin of the poison in my body ...."
Xin Zhan sneered inexhaustibly, he took a breath and looked as calm as ever. His cotton-white face would instantly blush if he was angry, so when Xin Zhan was angry his sister would quickly turn her face away. Afraid to see his ghostly face.
"I don't know what you ate until you ate that poisonous flower! And stupidly again, the flower was supposed to be from a very far place, why is it in your body?"
Xin Chen did not know Xin Zhan understood about this poison, actually Xin Chen himself had already estimated the gift given by Fu Yu from the Flower sect at the time of stopping at the Lotus Temple a few days ago. But because he did not smell any poison and harmful content he immediately received it because it felt bad to suspect the innocent girl.
Who would have thought that now residing in his body was the poison from the lotus flower of their sect, the poison was probably supposed to work a few hours after Xin Chen drank it but since his body had special abilities, the poison attack could be held for up to two days.
Xin Zhan recalled something, "Truely I said you should come along! It's free that if you use your power, the poison will spread even more, it will stop the flow of your inner energy. And you'll be paralyzed and rendered useless."
"They've estimated it to be there, huh?" small whispers.
"What?" Sahut Xin Zhan was astonished.
"none. It's just that I'll hold back until reinforcements come, you should get back to looking after mom. In times like these, a lot of bad guys are gonna come after him."
"Arrrghh pardon!" Xin Chen grumbled inwardly, he released himself afterwards.
"Then I promise to come back when reinforcements come!" Xin Chen promised, squeezing to the point of bending her body a few times.
Mouth fights began to occur, even if the sky collapsed the two were equally indifferent until this debate ended. Xin Chen continued to weld while Xin Zhan remained stubborn.
"Then I will take care of you, but who will take care of you?!" Xin Chen shouted, only this time did he feel that he was about to run out of voice. Fighting with Xin Zhan must indeed wear veins, the two shouted at each other. Don't want to give up.
"I can take care of Dad!"
"Think about it carefully, even if your brain is still in your head, Brother Zhan!"
"How dare you-!!"
Before long Xin Zhan was silent for a thousand languages, he recalled the time when Xin Chen used his strength to destroy Han Zilong. The moment Xin Chen praised his strength earlier was somehow Xin Zhan's pride was injured. Hugely. He clenched his hands very strongly, then spoke without looking at his sister. "Alright if you want to stay here! But don't cry if you can't see Mom's face again!" Xin Zhan's breath was restrained, he was still very, very angry but could not speak clearly.
"And so, if you come back without Dad... I'll kill you first! Listen to it carefully!"
Xin Zhan turned her body quickly, reluctant to see her sister's face again. Xin Chen looked up again. He held onto his chest and tried to heal something that was gnawing at him inside. Although it has been taught how to heal but its ability to recover wounds is still lacking. Moreover, this concerned the inside of his body.
"Hold until I cut off the man's head!" he muttered to himself. Xin Chen decided to use spirit power, he was sure that what made his father's body fly like it was the spirits circling around him.
But Xin Chen had never learned the technique, due to the lack of time. The strength in his body was enormous but because it had to treat the wounds in his body the strength was gradually reduced.
"That Si Fu Yu, look at me later if I meet him." Xin Chen took a deep breath, the spirits came out from the Spirit Controlling Book.
In retrospect, Han Wu's previous death was terrifying. Not a single part of his body was left after the fight. There were only two possibilities, his body was scorched by lightning or the most reasonable thing was that these spirits ate his body.
As long as it used spirit power, Xin Chen could not linger on eliminating its form. This felt very strange and different from the strength that Zhang Ziyi possessed. The man can use the form at will and there is no time limit that limits it.
Han Wu's own death was like another conjecture, Xin Chen thought deeply.
"Did he give his body to this spirit, and so their original strength would come out?"
Xin Chen still continued to think, he was in one difficult decision at the moment. Whether by giving his body to this Book of Spirit Controllers he would have complete control over them.
"This body ...."
"You want to give it to us?" Without realizing it the spirits that had spread in the air fused and formed a human form. But the body was only up to the knee, dark black energy surrounded him. Xin Chen sensed the threat, even by the spirits themselves.
