The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 266 - Spirit Slayer
"As one of the criminals you seem to care about her."
The next two hits were much harder, this time the man did not fight quietly. He followed his own emotions that were rising the longer Xiu Qiaofeng brought up about the Number Four.
It was obvious that his opponent was provoked by his words, but Xiu Qiaofeng did not expect that it would put him in a bad situation.
The opponent ate a strange pill that eventually added to his strength threefold, a power burst from the male's body.
Xiu Qiaofeng involuntarily retreated, starting to feel anxious as his mind said that his strength would not be able to keep up with the person. He took out a chain to capture the body of the opponent who jumped high as the opening of their next fight. The chain broke and shattered like dust. Xiu Qiaofeng wielded a sword but it was captured empty-handed and broken.
Now the girl has no defense anymore while her friend is too busy with her own enemies.
The man's eyes had turned reddish due to the effects of the medicine he had swallowed earlier. Xiu Qiaofeng did not know exactly what he had eaten, it was of course dangerous especially until it was marketed to the Shang Empire. Because unlike other pills, the pill without taking a long time adds up to three hundred percent strength.
One strike nearly pierced through his heart, Xiu Qiaofeng was too hasty to dodge until he fell to the ground. While the opponent had taken an attack position where in one move only the sword in his hand stuck on top of Xiu Qiaofeng's head. Too frightened Xiu Qiaofeng was unable to move his body anymore, he could only close his eyes with a body of great trembling.
At first glance he could feel a quick wind above his head. But it stopped. With courage he opened his eyes and saw the man was glaring strongly with the corner of his lips spitting out black blood. He collapsed to the side then disappeared as a small wind swept across the ground.
"A good toy."
"Who is there?!" Xiu Qiaofeng shouted loudly, it did not take ten seconds until all their enemies disappeared from the face of the earth. Though to subvert just one until it takes hours. Xiu Qiaofeng also realized that the voice was the same as the voice he had heard while on the river bank.
But there was no answer after that, he waited for a few minutes and realized that the figure had disappeared along with the villains from the Qing Empire.
"Miss, who are you talking to?"
"Aren't you guys listening? Someone said something, like it was right in my ear. Or ... Don't tell me you didn't hear it?"
Everyone shook their heads, indeed they heard nothing from the moment other than Xiu Qiaofeng's voice. The girl seemed to be in disbelief, or was the voice coming from her own mind? He can hear it clearly.
Vice issued his opinion, which Xiu Qiaofeng had thought of. "don't tell the spirit user? Shit, we don't have to deal with him, this can be dangerous for the group. We better get out of here."
The moment the group had left the place, Xin Chen could still hear the sound of their footsteps. He sat on a tall tree while contemplating something.
About the anti-spirit mantra and everything about the unknown use of the spirit. After the war seven years ago he lost all the spirits killed by the Demon Queen. They vanished unceremoniously and left only her who was also almost made dead that day. With so Xin Chen studying everything about the Spirit Controlling Scripture alone, he knew nothing more precisely. Moreover, how to ward off this spirit attack.
Moreover, there were many spirits that he gathered. Calculated from the keroco-keroco of the Four Surveillance Units. They number in the thousands but it is very difficult to control them. Few would follow his orders.
"I'd better ask Lan Zhuxian this." Xin Chen gave the scroll to the black crow in his hand, just like Lan Zhuxian had in the Valley of the Gods. The bird sped rapidly splitting the wind, leaving black wings behind it. While the young man was still constantly thinking about all the questions that suddenly came to his head.
"As long as I wait it seems I have to clear up all these hunters. Let alone that Ghost from YuangXe. No need to rush, this forest will be my second training ground."
The letter from Xin Chen reached Lan Zhuxian's hand three days after, the crow that reached his hand appeared to be severely injured in some parts. Even if it was only a spirit but if a greater force attacked it, the bird would still be injured. He took the scroll at his feet, reading letter by letter with a slight surprise.
"Teacher Yuhao? Why did I realize it?!"
Lan Zhuxian's panic at that time caused a commotion at Unit One's headquarters. There were only four people and all of them were addressing each other Lan Zhuxian.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
"Teacher Yuhao who? Don't tell me that guy's coming here? Lan Zhuxian, explain first."
"Oi, oi, oi! You guys don't see the situation? Just ask, he'll explain it to himself!" exclaimed Nan Ran, he approached Lan Zhuxian while patting her on the shoulder.
"What's up, my friend?"
Tian Xi rolled his eyes off guard, he did not want to miss the information and docked to Lan Zhuxian's table.
"Where else is he going?"
"Teacher Yuhao is not your fish, Tian Xi."
Just this time Tian Xi saw Lan Zhuxian show an offended expression, regardless of his overly polite demeanor. It made the two young men a little uneasy. Nan Ran nudged Tian Xi's hand, telling him to apologize immediately.
"Good, fine! Sorry to make it a joke. But if you have a problem maybe we can solve it together."
"It's too late. We can't do anything about it. If Master Yuhao has already intervened then ... Young Master, I hope he's okay."
Upon hearing the Young Master's name, Shui came closer with a tense face.
"What do you mean he's gonna be okay? And who is that Master Yuhao?"
Lan Zhuxian shook his head weakly, holding the letter with anxious highlighting eyes. He opened his voice, sounding more like a whisper.
"Teacher Yuhao is my teacher, he's a hard man. His life path never got out of the bloody path. The woman escaped after slaughtering thousands of spirit users in the Qing Empire. He left me alone and after hearing news of Master Yuhao hiding in the Shang Empire, I intend to catch up with him. But it's been almost a year here, never met him."
The paper in his hand shook. "I really wanted to see him and say thank you." He took out a piece of paper that he always kept well.
"This is his last gift. Spirit exorcism spell. He is the slayer of the entire spirit controller. Perhaps after hearing the news of Zhang Ziyi's death, he had already warned of another successor. And Young Tuuan will be his next target."
