The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 256 - The Murderer
The arrows shot agilely towards one direction, where two people and a dragon stood surrounded. Ye Long growled furiously, flapping his wings to make the arrows flung in the opposite direction. The black dragon threw out a blue flame that further divided the enemy, even so they still attacked when they found the opportunity.
But of the many arrows, not a single one hit the target, they only realized a few seconds later when an arrow nearly pierced the young man wearing the robe but it seemed as if it was missing in the swallow of something, there was a thin shield that was not easy to see and all of their arrows ended up missing there.
"We need to hurry. Ye Long, I'll take it to you."
"Rayrghh! Fight anchovies again?!" Before they finished protesting, the two men had already left.
Xin Chen did not want to spend more time serving the archer group, it could be when he was busy fighting the enemy first to keep their secret items. Some warriors blocked the path by slashing long swords. Bloodshed just like that, Xin Chen continued to attack while splitting the enemy herd.
The cries of war echoed in the inner camp, no one hesitated to advance against it even when they saw dozens of their friends fall lifeless. The man who followed Xin Chen behind shivered in fear, his lips unable to say anything other than silence and following where the young man had gone.
"Le-by here my lord ..." The man pointed to a house on the highest plateau, protected by a fence made of high ground. There was no one standing guard there, Xin Chen knew it was a trap. He stopped right before; um set foot in front of the gate, kicked at the door made of wood and at once a small dagger was thrown at him.
The small weapon stopped hovering right in front of him and fell making a noise on the ground, near the gate itself grew a large tree where a bloody murderer was eyeing him with a stern eye. He laughed out loud as he watched the two people survive the simple trap.
"Currently, only you seem to be intruders who use brains when they want to visit the enemy's house." He came down by jumping off a tree branch, his heavy body making a loud sounding tread. He did not carry any weapons and was only empty-handed when facing Xin Chen and a man next to him.
"It seems you're a person from another empire. Didn't they? You're the mad alchemist envoy of the Wei Empire?" In the assassin's mind Xin Chen was more akin to the characteristics of an imperial person there even though in terms of the aura strength of the young man it felt dangerous. At first glance he did think that such a figure was a person of the Qing Empire and a spirit user. But it was impossible, the Shang Empire and the Qing Empire had long been hostile. And the assassin knew that his opponent was no ordinary person.
As a person who was born in the Qing Empire he knew better how to distinguish the people of the Shang Empire and the people of the Qing Empire.
"It's none of your business."
"That means right?"
"Do you know the answer?"
The killer shook his head and laughed defiantly while pulling out the sword he had been hiding. "No longer necessary. I already know the answer. You're not a part of them. The people of the Wei Empire wouldn't be open if it was about his identity."
"Oh, it seems like of all the enemies I've faced today you're the only one using the brain."
"Bahaha!" His interlocutor laughed out loud, shaking his head several times. "If we weren't enemies I'd be happy to be friends with you."
He was getting ready with the attack position, his thick-looking body seemed difficult to penetrate with ordinary attacks. As usual the enemy always started surprise attacks at the beginning of the fight, Xin Chen decided to physically fight with this man.
But when Xin Chen started to get caught off guard with the flow of the fight at that moment he attacked all out, Xin Chen blinked as a blow and slash chased after his body very quickly. Sparks of fire appeared every time his attack was broken by Xin Chen. Long withstood the killer's attack, another surprise emerged. The man disappeared and was about to stab him in the back.
Xin Chen retreated from his place and turned around, in this kind of situation his reflexes determined the flow of the match. So far none of them have been hurt. His opponent grinned widely and just then Xin Chen realized that the robe on his back was torn apart.
"Ch, you must have underestimated me."
Xin Chen shook his head. "No, I'm just surprised by your technique. In the Shang Empire no one has it."
"Hm, sounds like a compliment. Hahaha, huh ... I was also lazy to fight. But the cursed parents told me to be like a slave. Truly an unsettling old man."
Xin Chen reinserted his weapon, "Why don't you just beat it up?"
"Good for you, not good for my life." Decih the man rolled his eyeballs, he was still with his weapon. The man's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the opponent holding a weapon.
"Hey, hey. You didn't mean to give up, did you? We haven't fought really."
"How can I fight against a man who doesn't even dare to kill me?" The young man's answer made him think for a bit long, it seemed that he had only realized that and could only scratch his nape.
"Ahahaha, fuck. You're hurting me." He stuck both daggers on the ground and sat in front of the gate. Still don't allow the two men to go inside.
"We have no intention of making peace with your people." That long thoughtless direct sentence instantly made the assassin's face change, he only sighed once.
"I've seen the way you fought. Terrible too. While I still have children and a wife at home, I'm not a death-defying fool."
"Then let us in."
"I can't!" Suddenly he stood up, this time his face changed in emotion. "If the person inside dies you kill ... Then all will be the same, I will also be killed and my wife's child ..." His hands were clenched very tightly. The man's breathing began to fall apart.
"Fight me now, this time I won't mess with you. Even if we have to bet on life."
"Join with us. You just need money to support your family, don't you? I'll gladly accept you."
