The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 277 - The Five Commandments
Ye Long was again caught and this time he could not fight anymore. His wings were injured and at his feet were chained with thick iron. His body that hid Lan Zhuxian was led towards a large iron where underneath the fire had lit up. Making the giant vessel reddish in color by the heat of the fire.
Ye Long did not care if his body was melted in the flames, but Lan Zhuxian would definitely be killed in a matter of minutes. Letting go of it alone was not a good choice, the YuangXe people did not hesitate to kill him.
Those two choices made Ye Long's normally dysfunctional brain have to work hard. His pitch-black eyes stared nyalang at the tall man who was the leader of YuangXe. He tried to bulldoze the tail towards the human but unfortunately the attack was immediately restrained by the others.
The only way to escape was to rampage, Ye Long burning the surroundings made the humans split up. He burned the chains to melt and become ashes.
Utilizing Ye Long's negligence, the leader of YuangXe leaped onto Ye Long's head. It made the dragon panic and moved its head to the right-left quickly. The movement made the man lose his balance and fall right in front of Ye Long's face.
Ye Long opened his mouth wide and was about to let the man know. But just as his mouth was open, a hard iron stick was used by YuangXe's leader to support his mouth.
The dragon head again moved aggressively, coiling chains around its neck and forcing Ye Long to duck parallel to the ground. No more rebellion.
"The "loyal dragon. Is the man you're hiding from your master?"
Because his mouth was propped up, Ye Long could not speak clearly. The YuangXe people thought the dragon only spoke the language of beasts.
"Take him off, or we'll forcefully open. He must be the one who's looking for it."
Ye Long hissed as the crowd further narrowed the distance, he was completely shrouded like a fly. The parts of his body were injured to open his wings where Lan Zhuxian had fainted from the violent impact the moment they fell earlier.
"I'll give you one more chance. Open your wings or we'll burn them by force."
The dragon forced his mouth to speak, "I'll make sure to burn you after this."
"Hm? I can talk, right? Good job!" lantang. "But unfortunately this is our place. Whoever enters without permission must die, that's the rule." The grin changed with a defiant smile, it provoked Ye Long's emotions.
"Rules apply only to those who obey them. I'm not the same as you guys anyway. Fucking anchovies, look my finger's coming! Arghh, tail!"
Ye Long's tail was wagging here and there, someone tried to peel off his thick skin.
"It's nice to be in a harness."
That instant Ye Long's courage shrieked, he was like being surrounded by a ferocious predator. All parts of his body must have been taken by those humans. Starting from the word, tail, skin, wings and also the head. Imagining his skull as a head protector like the one of YuangXe's leader made Ye Long's entrails spin.
Perhaps having known Xin Chen for a long time, Ye Long had forgotten that humans remained the same. So much cruel to a demon like him. They are just tools and sources of power. Never more than that.
"You must be hungry, right?" The man carried the burnt goat in both hands, offering it to Ye Long while moving it around. Ye Long's head continued to follow the movements of the grilled goat. He's really hungry.
"What's? You also like this sparkling decoration? Takeit. But leave that man to me."
Ye Long approached with eyes not separated from the goat. Even so his two wings were tightly clenched together, he was like a kangaroo carrying a child.
The man did not mind the goat being eaten for free by Ye Long, taking his heart was a better way than violence with a demon.
Intentions to do good, precisely the leader of YuangXe hit by disaster. Ye Long did not bite the goat but his hands were bleeding. Before the dragon spouted the flames of immortality, the other three adult males were already swift to stop it. A huge iron smashed into Ye Long's skull until it rang loudly.
Leader YuangXe lost a lot of blood, inexhaustibly he cursed for Ye Long. The dragon lost consciousness, its head that was leaked by the iron thorn was shedding blood on the sandy soil. There was no more movement from the dragon so that the leader of YuangXe who had been consumed with emotion intended to finish off the dragon's life.
The voice made him stop moving, dozens of eyes turned in the same direction. At the place where one stood on top of the highest fortress. The darkness of the night made his face invisible. And also the moon above them looked unusual, Xin Chen managed to use the Illusory Eyes to grab the consciousness of the musical instrument players who had already messed up his mind. And more importantly.
One thing he couldn't avoid. Encounters. Although she still did not show a face yet, the girl already knew him. And now the Illusory Eye that only existed in the Spirit Controlling Book further strengthened that he was a figure who had disappeared seven years in the Shang Empire.
The YuangXe leader raised his bloodied hand as the group of archers was about to attack Xin Chen. That deep enough torn wound did not make him tremble at all. Instead he was more interested when he felt the air of strength that had been long awaited.
"Spirit user, is that you?"
Some of the YuangXe people just stood with empty eyes towards the sky. There were some who were immune to such moves and they possessed strength that was at the same level as Xin Chen.
"Leave this place and take it without causing war on our land."
"Stay here and declare an oath of allegiance to the Emperor."
The leader of YuangXe barely thought about how Xin Chen had said it so loosely. He did not care who YuangXe was and the enemy he was facing.
"Tell me where you came from and return to where you came from with that heirloom."
"The fourth commandment, stay here and get ready to go to war with the Shang Empire's soldiers."
Whether the order or what it was, the YuangXe chief caught it more as a threat. Moreover, seeing those blue eyes raining towards him.
"Or last, get to the point. Stay here and leave that thing to me."
"Oh, haha! Get to the point! You don't like pleasantries, do you?" sneer the man in a cynical tone.
When the young man came down and stood right in front of him, the man's nape was made cold
"Use my name as the Chairman of the Four Surveillance Units, then they'll look for me for that thing."
"How can I trust your words? And also this is something that we can't give to anyone, even you!"
"Then you're gonna take care of her forever until your kids are all butchered?"
The man was suddenly at a loss for words.
"I've guarded many heirlooms, including the Steel Phoenix and the Blood Ghost Mask."
"You have it-!?"
"I've been guarding him to avoid the bloodshed caused by the usurpation of the inheritance."
"Then–"
Before he could speak his words, the head of YuangXe's leadership fell to the ground. He died standing right in front of Xin Chen.
