The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 284 - Rival of Childhood
Just as that young man YuangXe had said had turned into an as if endless battleground, starting from a few months since the rumors of the God Armor of War were heard until now the land became a hunt for warriors from all over. The Shang Empire experienced considerable repercussions with the many arrivals of foreigners. They also incur new crimes so that local guards do not have time to take care of them one by one.
The destruction of all fortifications and defenses in that place was a sign that YuangXe had surrendered under the feet of the enemy who was constantly coming. Xin Chen himself was unsure if the former Renwu City could still survive if it was in the same situation as YuangXe. No one helps them but themselves.
The women lay dying, some carried on the shoulders of foreign warriors. While the men were made to die horribly, the fire there had burned almost the entire land of YuangXe.
"It happened so fast. I just left YuangXe a few days."
"There are some of them who are indeed waiting for this moment to arrive. In the absence of a fighting spirit leader we slumped to the bottom. Nobody wants to survive, they're all scared. How important the leader is to us ..."
Ye Long slowed down the pace of his wings, looking from below where the flames were waiting for them. A hot wind blew along with the smell of blood that kept falling on YuangXe.
"As long as I go find out where the book thief is, Ye Long."
"Rrarrgh, don't forget my meal. I haven't eaten in almost a week."
The YuangXe youth pointed to himself in confusion. "Then with me?"
"You want to go down or jump in that fire. But if you want to find where your sister is please. The dragon had no work either. Meet me here tomorrow night."

"Oh, look, look!" Someone exclaimed loudly, looking at the strange shadow above the sky. He looked so surprised. "There's a dragon!"
"Dragon, you say? Where?!"
Unfortunately when the others looked up there was nothing they found there. In that instant everyone stared at the lowest ranked man with a face about to cuss. "You know best how to shorten your life."
"No, I really saw it! That-that-!?"
Instantly his neck was cut off, a burst of blood sticking out like a fountain, making the dozens of men who were nearby retreat in unison. The black shadow that had previously landed on them had now stood up. There was a faint sound of a low voice that made their knees go limp.
"Losers, just dare to play behind my back?"
No one could move or think of escaping, as a weak group that only looked for treasures from dead corpses, they always avoided War. Then came to look for treasure from a corpse that had been shrouded in flies. Like a vulture. It was just that this time they knew their target could do nothing more, too many enemies came until YuangXe became this destructive.
"Who are you?"
"What is the importance of who I am?"
"Ja-don't tell me he's the one who killed the Ghost of YuangXe and the Spirit Exterminator of Yuhao." One whispered to his friend, but when he turned his head to the side there was only a headless body, blood from the part of the neck that was cut off soaked the man's shirt.
"It would be better if you all go to hell, but hell is reluctant to accept humans like you."
In the darkness of the night, a devilish smile spread perfectly on his lips. "I invite you to my hell. Become spirit soldiers who will cry blood only to be thrown into the grave. Wanna try?"
As everything was running there was only one man standing trembling, he held a chain in hand as his gaze continued towards Xin Chen. Afraid that blinking just once his neck would be the same fate as his friend who was dead.
"You accepted the invitation? Congratuations. You're the first one here."
His knees were getting vibrating, but his stern face showed the man's guts much better than his friends.
"I know you have that thing! Leave it to me if you want to live!"
"I'm a hard man to die, just so you know."
The figure in the darkness moved closer, making the swordsman unconsciously retreat. He tightened his grip on the weapon, waiting for the right time to unleash the attack.
As he ran fast, the young man did not dodge in the slightest. He smiled triumphantly, taking out the secret weapon behind his shirt. Plugging a small dagger into Xin Chen's heart.
His eyes widened, the man's nape instantly cold as if watered with ice water. He moved his head to the side, seeing that the face was still nearby.
The dagger was translucent on that very real looking body. Instead of making the enemy die, it was precisely this time that his stomach was leaking. The sword had pierced through his body, Xin Chen did not immediately take off, he carried a lightning strike on the body until his opponent died horribly.
He stared at the sword, damaged by the power of lightning that was once given by the fox. Suddenly the sadness returned, Xin Chen tried to brush it off repeatedly. He began to think about eliminating all emotions in him. If such a thing alone could bother him then the purpose of uniting the Three Empires was mere wishful thinking.
From the side someone was about to stab him right in the face.
Xin Chen knew of that presence, after all he would not be exposed if he used a spirit body. But that indifference made his identity revealed, Xiu Qiaofeng stared in disbelief as the face turned to the side. He dropped the weapon unconsciously then retreated.
The shock on his face was like a person who had just seen a ghost. These seven years, the Xiu family kept saying that this figure standing in front of him was dead. No one believes there are humans who survived the Fire in Renwu City. Including Xiu Juan himself.
Xiu Qiaofeng could not believe that the figure who had always been considered a rival was still exhaling. There was a sense of relief and happiness upon seeing that person as he expected.
Xin Chen put on an annoyed face. Without explaining anything he left.
"Tu-wait!"
"Why did you throw them away and attack them?"
"Whatdidyou say? No. gabe. Explain first, are you alive?"
"Then?"
Xiu Qiaofeng was unfamiliar with the response, he was sure the once-different Xin Chen was the figure standing before him right now.
"All right, I answer. After that you answer my question. Okay?" Seeing that there was no response Xiu Qiaofeng did not think long, he immediately continued.
