The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 237 - Untillable Words
"I see nothing but us here" he turned left. Then his eyes bulged wide as he understood Xin Chen's intent earlier.
"Don't ..." He began to suspect, but tried to break his own argument. "No, it's impossible. Second Young Master Xin is impossible ..."
But the prophecy made him hesitant, they were approached like this was one clue. The light in his eyes was shining brightly.
"Show me the evidence so I can believe."
"Tell me where the Lightning Fox is, I'll show it. If you don't want it's okay, too" the young man said. Mo Yin'er looked hesitant, but she was afraid of a misstep. If it was true that the figure in front of him was saying, Mo Yin'er did not know that he should be present.
"Alright, alright!" he strangled, "There is a hidden area across the village. It is located in a cave hidden by a high waterfall. It's not easy coming there, there's a lot of wolf stealth on guard"
Xin Chen's robe fluttered as he galloped, Mo Yin'er was stunned and was about to catch up. "Hey-y! Be-stop! What about your words?! You lying?!"
"Think of it yourself. Thanks for the information, Miss Mo."
"Fuck-young man" Mo Yin'er's steps were too short to catch up with Xin Chen's long footsteps, he swore behind him. Not daring to complain to the Indigenous Elder who was his grandfather. The girl poked on the spot, regretting her own deeds; telling the secret to the stranger.
"Currently, people just seem to win in advance! Behaviour like a demon. Dead I scolded grandpa!" Mo Yin'er was limp on the spot herself, she had time to believe the figure was the second Young Master Xin. I don't know for what reason.
"May the fox be fine ..." Mo Yin'er lifted her face, looking at the drizzling rain that made her body feel shivering with cold. Mo Yin'er still used to come to the fox's place, once a week to give him food. The food that he delivers is always gone. He did not dare to go directly into the forest that protects the cave because of the wolf stealth guarding it.
Yet Mo Yin'er was convinced that the Lightning Fox was also familiar with humans.

The village is not so broad, bounded by dense forests that restrict residential areas. There was a gloomy forest, the sounds of animals echoing from within. There was no sign of human existence at all. Xin Chen pierced through the tall bushes in front of him, the werewolf crazed as he felt a piercing air of existence.
The forest area was badly damaged in part, an old battle that left some old tree trunks torn deep. Xin Chen followed a dangerous precipitous path, taking him to a place full of starving monstrous demons. They stared at Xin Chen with drool dripping, deeming the young man a delicious meal.
Xin Chen broke through the pack of wolves, without bothering them in the least. Facing the leader of the wolf, his body was bigger than an adult human. The wolf's fangs were pointed and trained to tear flesh, but even though he was the strongest among others his instincts told him not to attack the human.
"I don't feel the presence of the Earth Ruler Demon here, maybe you know?"
Xin Chen cursed inwardly, demons like them could not speak like humans. It was precisely at this moment that the wolf pack was intending to attack, Xin Chen did not respond and continued his path. Even as they lunged and stabbed towards him, he remained focused on the search for the goa.
"There is no way here, I don't feel the power of the Thunder Fox at all" he said paused, if it's really where the Lightning Fox is hiding, why isn't there any more lightning power around it. Just like the Mist Forest that the Lightning Fox shaded in the past, the pure power there was a lot. And the place was so protected that thousands of people died without a remnant while trying to enter it.
"One more time attack me make sure you burn me."
Xin Chen again focused his attention to the front where the sound of a waterfall was heard from a distance, without thinking again immediately followed the source of the sound.
Sure enough, a stream of water falling from a height was visible there. Xin Chen leaped onto the rocks and stood under the flow of the waterfall. When he went inside, he saw a large stone covering a large hole.
"This ...."
Blue flames lit up in his hands, burning the huge stone in the blink of an eye until it was charred unceasingly. Only then did a small road appear inside. Xin Chen cursed because his body was no longer fit to enter it. He changed his form, penetrated inside and arrived at the end of the small hole. Upon seeing the empty surroundings, Xin Chen began to hesitate. The sound of water droplets on the rocks resounded.
This place is too quiet. Xin Chen entered another small passageway, getting nothing there he turned to another path. Goa is like an endless labyrinth.
"I'm so reminded of the time we hunted Steel Phoenix," Xin Chen murmured in a whisper. Passing through the obstacles that day with the Thunder Fox was more fun than being alone.
"I'm sorry, Fox. That day ... I did not look at you, even seven years passed I remained a frightened coward in my own strength. I was too small to face a great destiny, I chose to reflect on it all and leave everything behind."
Xin Chen's words came to a halt, eliciting repeated echoes within the cave.
"I hate a lot of things. And all the source of my hatred is myself. I'd be lost if I walked alone. Father, mother, Brother Zhan, I don't want to let them down. And everyone in the Empire is pinning their hopes on me." In that instant, Xin Chen did not really wish for the fox to be there to hear all of her grief. He can't tell anyone. Heavy things rested on his shoulders, everyone expected the best from him.
"I have sworn to myself, to unite the Three Empires even if I have to make up for it with my life. Eliminating war between humans or war between demons, I will do it with all my heart. But ... Is the path I take forever right?"
His speech was stifled, on the other hand both of his legs continued to walk into a darker place. The wind from a distance blew away his robe, dark from inside the place turned out to be illuminated by the hole of light above. Sunlight penetrated from there, just above the large rocks surrounded by a stream of water.
That instant Xin Chen's heart seemed to weaken as he looked at the figure lying stiffly on the rock, facing towards him. His eyes warmed up for a moment.
Xin Chen's voice was hoarse, "You once promised to always pay attention to my steps, Fox Master."
Tears dripped down his left cheek involuntarily. A regret that never healed in his heart, and a hatred that continued to grow in him.
He lowered his head, looking at the writing from the claws that the figure had written down for the last time. Blood dried there for years, inscribed with a sentence that a lifetime Xin Chen did not want to read.
'Until here I noticed your steps'.
