The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 29 - Great Disappointment
"Take off my teacher, ck! Lepaaa!" Xin Chen thrashed on the shoulders of the Lightning Fox, cursing in annoyance a thousand times. He had once wanted to hit that man named Liu Fengying.
"You're no match, stupid."
"Just this time you called me stupid," Xin Chen's mind was sidetracked. He was reminded of Liu Fengying coming back. "Take me off!!"
The Lightning Fox threw him an origin, making Xin Chen fall in a bad position. His head first landed on the ground.
"Teacher, at least treat this student a little better." A small grunt came out, Xin Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands squeezing agitated hair.
"I know you will definitely be disappointed to hear it," Xin Chen said later.
"You didn't get it? It was your fault, acting recklessly."
Xin Chen mused over his old mistake, The Lightning Fox understood this mistake only that this fatal result was inevitable.
"I've managed to get it, said the seller the poison maker only made a few bidders and the one I brought was the last one...."
"So where did the antidote go?"
"Broke..."
The Lightning Fox snapped its head rather loudly, "If you don't get it maybe we still have a chance to infiltrate, but you're destroying it instead?"
Xin Chen nodded doubtfully, knowing in this position he had actually made a heavy mistake. "So why would I not even think of keeping it in the space ring?"
The Lightning Fox refused to answer other than showing a heavily disappointed face.
"Do you have another way out?"
The Lightning Fox sitting beside him was also thinking hard. "Using a snake stealth gem, maybe?"
Xin Chen took a heavy breath, "The poison in Zhan Gege's body is somewhat different, Master. Inside was a deadly poison as well as a curse. With the gem it may be the poison is gone, but not with the curse. He'll be dead in seven days..." Xin Chen was weak. Facing the afternoon ceiling in worry.
Xin Chen suddenly laid down his body, too tired to think up to this point. Everything he had done was in vain, not even a hint of the antidote had been taken.
Seeing Xin Chen's unrest the Lightning Fox was also unbearable, he actually wanted to help but the location of the matter was in the curse that Xin Chen said. His breath sounded a lot of times.
The Lightning Fox turned towards Xin Chen who covered his forehead with an arm. Looks like they're asleep.
"Teacher, do you think I really failed?"
"You mean?"
"I failed to save Xin Zhan..."
Although it is not good enough, the Lightning Fox asserts it, because it is like that. "Yes, you said nothing can cure your brother but the antidote."
"That means I'm a failed child."
As if the Lightning Fox had not expected this conversation to even offend Xin Chen, she thought of dodging but Xin Chen had already gotten up first. Leave it in the grass itself.
"Maybe after this I won't go back home, Master, I'll find everything I need to face my old enemy, tell Dad not to look for me anymore."
"Chen, where are you going?!"
Xin Chen paused for a moment, turning his head slightly before completely leaving the Lightning Fox. Even though he only briefly seemed to have known the fox a long time ago.
"I've harmed Zhan Gege and can't handle it with my own hands. Do you think I deserve to be his son?"

Xin Chen walked further and further away, from the same Lightning Fox could hear the child muttering. "I don't think so."
Xin Chen removed the Blood Ghost Mask, traveling alone in the crowd. Did not feel the sky began to darken, not long after the rain fell rapidly wet residential roofs.
Xin Chen gave a small snort, eating the bread a little.
"Hey is it safe outside?"
Xin Chen was stunned to hear a voice greeting his ears, he looked back to no one. Only the wooden house is uninhabited.
"I'm in here."
Xin Chen narrowed his eyes, looking at the pair of middle eyes peeking at him from behind the wooden crack. "You surprised me" he said.
"Sorry, sorry. I've been stuck here for three days. Can you give me a piece of bread and water?"
Xin Chen asserted, he gave her the last meal and a little drink by slightly opening the door.
They kept quiet for a long time until finally the figure inside the house again made a sound. "You're Xin Fai's son, aren't you?"
"Y-yes?" Xin Chen was somewhat surprised, usually people would call his father by his nickname or first pillar, this man seemed to know his father personally.
"You who? And why would you be trapped here? Not that the door is wide open, you can get out too."
"That's... Previously introduce me Shen Xuemei, maybe your father ever mentioned me to you?" Behind those walls Shen Xuemei developed a confident smile.
"No, I've never heard your name. Sorry."
Shen Xuemei was struck heavily. He gripped his old friend in his heart. "Ha-ha forget it, look, I'm trapped here for some reason. You see five guys outside? They're after me."
Xin Chen looked at the five robed warriors. "They are from the Valley of the Gods."
"You know that? They seem very dangerous. Two of the five warriors were great warriors. Moreover, they have terrible weapons."
"So that's what's holding you back? What are you after?"
"Ah, you don't know, yeah. My body can destroy any poison."
Xin Chen stopped chewing, turning his body as fast as lightning. "You can help me!"
"helpful? Before that you better think of a way that I can escape from those two great warriors."
Xin Chen nodded slowly, according to him this was not difficult for him to do. Shen Xuemei caught the faint twinkle of Xin Chen's eyes from behind the crack, it felt like he was back in the past. When he met Xin Fai at the Lotus Temple and saw that his friend was developing very quickly. Perhaps even though Xin Chen wasn't as bad luck as his father who lost his parents as a child, he still had a strong motivation to protect the people he cared about.
Shen Xuemei had never expected Xin Chen's idea to be a little worse than she had expected. The boy even invited the great warriors to fight. He threw five stones together, although they could still dodge quickly, anger was inevitable.
"This boy, what are you doing?!"
"You're dead, huh?"
"This kid doesn't seem to be in his right mind!"
As the swearing-in throws continued to sound, Xin Chen cradled the stone in his left hand. Throw ten more stones and then run fast while curling your tongue.
"Lonely old men, chase me if you dare!"
"Indeed ask to be beaten!!"
Xin Chen ran as fast as lightning, he had not expected that the training he had done all day long ago would save him in this situation. At least his running speed was still better than before, let alone with a small body Xin Chen freely overtaking in the crowd.
This chase made the surrounding area rumble, flood water that stagnated in the streets due to the rain was splashed on the clothes of the people around Xin Chen, the boy laughed happily. Making others upset is indeed a hobby since long ago some residents stop while frowning to see them chasing like rats and cats.
It is undeniable that the running speed of the great swordsman is indeed not kidding, although since the beginning of their distance far enough Xin Chen can still be followed. Indeed the five Swordsmen were all entering stage one, which included the start but their running speed was equivalent to lightning speed.
