The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 249 - Two Eyes of the Sword
Xin Chen was about to go through it but Xin Zhan held back, he did not want to linger there anymore. Given his twin brother it might be able to recognize his voice. Plus, their distance was only a few meters.
Ye Long hissed at Xin Zhan, inside he had already heard an explanation from his master about who they had met at the front gate. Families. Although Ye Long did not really understand what a family was but clearly Xin Chen did not really want to meet that person.
The sleeves of Xin Zhan's robes were pulled tight by Ye Long, the young man pulled over and sharpened his eyesight. It looked like recognizing the black tail sticking out on the ground
"I've seen it ..."
Xin Zhan was deep in his own thoughts, right. He was not wrong to remember that he had seen the same demon with the creature. It's just that he can't see the body of the creature completely because it is covered by a cloak.
"Don't you-don't!" Xin Zhan's tone rose, he was stunned when he found the sword eyes outstretched in front of him.
"We're gonna finish this fast."
The rain was still so heavy as Xin Chen accepted his opponent's offer of a fight. He gestured for Ye Long to leave immediately, compared to this fight, he was more worried if Ye Long's identity was revealed. It was not impossible that the Empire would also capture the Black Dragon because he had a blood relationship with the Dark Dragon.
"thank you. I won't hesitate to fight against you."
Xin Chen stared at the sword in Xin Zhan's hand which was glistening brightly, looking so sharply honed. High-class treasures kept well within the Empire's stockpiles. He smiled smirkingly, looking at the sword in his small hand. Xin Chen did not quite remember about what happened to the Steel Phoenix Sword.
But certainly since that war, Xin Chen had searched the heavenly heirloom everywhere and never found it. There were only two possibilities, stolen or had been destroyed by Qiang Jun.
"Young Master Xin first, are you sure-?!" The two bodyguards were worried and restless at the same time, unsure that their Young Master could win against a dangerous enemy. They whispered persuading Xin Zhan to reconsider his decision.
"Winning this fight is a difficult thing to do, Young Master."
"Yes, it's too hard to lose. Retrogressive. I'll handle it quickly."
"Then what if Young Master loses?"
"I'll take care of the rest."
The two fighters looked at each other, not even one spoke at those times. Xin Zhan sharpened his entire senses. Increasing his sharpness in the flow of the demonic sword. The young man looked so serious with his concentration of focus. Within a few seconds, sparks were created as a result of the pounding of such a heavy sword.
Xin Zhan started the fight with an extremely powerful attack, enough to make his opponent gasp when he realized how powerful the first child of the Demon Sword was.
'You train harder than anyone.' Xin Chen's inner constantly fended off Xin Zhan's sword attacks, his sword swing was near perfect and did not open any gaps. And also his careful steps would not be easily swayed.
A single straight slash nearly touched Xin Chen's body, but he remained untouched no matter how Xin Zhan attacked him. The fight lasted for nearly ten minutes and Xin Chen showed no signs of attacking.
Xin Zhan was once offended, he was not as weak as his opponent thought. With that various mainstay moves were released and one managed to hit the opponent's sword. Xin Zhan was starting to regain his confidence.
"You can't win without your guns."
"You knew from the beginning."
"I don't understand what you mean."
Xin Chen repeated the words he said a few hours ago.
"We will not harass anyone in this Empire and will not establish any cooperation with you. If we do that then I'll cut my tongue out first." Xin Chen put his sword back in. Breathe in until both shoulders are lifted.
"It doesn't mean I approved Emperor Qin's request. It's just that we have no reason to attack the stronghold ourselves."
The people behind Xin Zhan were astonished, it meant that it was true that the Four Surveillance Units were currently siding with the Shang Empire. It was good news that would really appease Emperor Qin as well as the public. They can't wait to come back and deliver it as soon as possible.
"Then ... With that secret mission, do you agree to it. The Empire really needs your help. We must return the First Pillar before the bloody agreement runs out and the Qing Empire invades this land with their hundreds of thousands of soldiers."
"When will the deal end?"
Xin Zhan somewhat held back his remark, he looked desperate before answering Xin Chen's question.
"In one year, before the Fire of Eternity burned the whole city of Renwu and the land there fused together with the ocean and destroyed anything around it. We actually don't have much time left and with Mr. Lan An removed from office ... I, as the eldest son of the Xin clan cannot stay silent!"
Xin Zhan slightly muttered back then, subconsciously. "If my sister were still here. We can face both. And I won't be this scared."
"You guys set foot in my place, should follow my rules, right?"
The two are facing each other seriously. "Give me information about the owner of this necklace. If you manage to find it while I enlarge this group of Four Surveillance Units. We just need time to determine the position where the person is and attack him."
"really? But it can't be that easy?"
Xin Zhan always said that when he heard something that was impossible to do. And the face against it never changed.
At that moment Xin Chen was inexhaustible, what would Xin Zhan do if he heard himself about uniting the three empires.
"It won't be that easy. Then, who else are you going to believe in in this Empire? Your heroes aren't reliable people, are they? To come all the way here to persuade me?"
Xin Zhan smiled at a glance, "Thank you for being so kind. I will pass this on to Emperor Qin immediately. And this necklace ... We will definitely find out who the owner is. But for what? Is there something you want to explore?"
"I can't answer more. But I need information about him. Whatever it is, it's more about the location of his existence."
They talked for a long time, the heavy rain turned into a small drizzle until it came to an agreement. Xin Zhan kept the golden necklace all right.
"alright. Thanks again. Emperor Qin must be very much looking forward to your arrival to Fanlu City again."
"Back?"
Xin Zhan suddenly bowed his body, making the figure in front of him stunned.
