The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 291 - Train the Sword
The conversation of the two was stalled by Ren Yuan's presence, the woman looked at her two sons, still in disbelief that this was the reality. But the relationship between the two twins did not seem to improve, Ren Yuan did not mind, because from a young child again the two children were often quarreling.
"Chen," called Ren Yuan softly, diverting his son who was chewing on his homemade cake. "You can stay here."
Ren Yuan's question made the situation awkward at that instant, Xin Chen did not reply let alone look at his face. There was something she did not want to tell Ren Yuan, something she did not want to hear. Because inevitably, his second child was accustomed to living outside, making friends with nature and facing thousands of dangers.
"This house is too comfortable for me."
Xin Chen tried to look at Ren Yuan who already knew the meaning of his words. "I want this house to stay safe by protecting it. I'll protect her from the outside."
"Don't put all this weight on your shoulders, you know, when people are in a stressful situation without anyone being by his side, he'll lose his way. You have a heart like ours, Chen. I know you're not okay."
"Mom don't have to worry."
Ren Yuan no longer wanted to see his son leave as he had last been, barely ever coming home and presumed to be dead.
"I've been taking you off all this time ..."
Ren Yuan pleaded with great. Xin Chen lowered his head, first because his father Xin Chen could get permission. But now the man does not exist, and the purpose of his disappearance is to save the father.
"May I ask you just this time to obey?"
"Can." Xin Chen said, "After father's return."
Arguing also felt that Ren Yuan had run out of sense to win his son's heart. Xin Chen looked at Xin Zhan who was reading his sister's unrest.
"Want to practice the sword?"
Xin Chen smiled. The memories of his childhood were long ago, in the afternoon they were practicing swords with many disciples from the White Mist Valley watching and he was always defeated by Xin Zhan. Hundreds of times he played, hundreds of times he lost. He is nothing more than a coward who takes refuge in the midst of great men. But somehow since when, he now just wants to be a protector himself. To protect his father, mother and brother.
The backyard of Ren Yuan's house was much wider than the front yard. It was overgrown by thick old trees as well as various kinds of equipment and weapons. There is a place to practice archery and swordsmanship. The courtyard was somewhat closed, as Xin Zhan used to use it to practice day-night.
Xin Zhan glanced next to him, where Xin Chen retorted back while saying.
"The fight this time is mine."
"You said it a hundred times before." And Xin Zhan let out a faint laugh, Xin Chen walked faster in front of him and that second Xin Zhan was struck. Realizing his sister's height had surpassed his own.
'Since when is he taller than me?' xin Zhan's inner self did not accept. He said nothing but stared at Xin Chen in flames.
"You're so excited, Brother Zhan."
Ren Yuan watched in a place a little far away, noticing his two sons had already taken their respective positions with eyes stalking each other's enemies.
"The rule is that whoever can hit an opponent's weapon five times with a wooden sword, he wins." Xin Zhan added. "And the victor may ask for anything from the loser. What are you gonna ask for?"
"Seven-color beetle."
His sister was surprised, almost coughed. "Don't be crazy! That animal no longer exists in this world."
"You said you could ask for anything, right?" xin Chen's reply was not to be outdone, unlike usual, this time Xin Zhan relented.
"Alright, alright. If I win ... Promise me you'll stay in Fanlu town."
"Then you want someone else to know my identity?"
It seemed that indeed Xin Zhan had not thought of getting there, which he obviously only wanted Xin Chen to stay to take care of their mother. Because he also now had a great responsibility, did not have much time to look after Ren Yuan.
"I'll think about it later."
The fight began.
The first minute there was no movement, they just kept quiet and occasionally moved. Seeing the response of such a vigilant opponent. Must not use any power, otherwise it will lose. Ren Yuan will be watching the fight.
Walking three minutes, both of them have not even shown significant movement. Neither Xin Chen nor Xin Zhan wanted to lose. It was not a matter of winning or not, they just did not want to make up for the opponent's request that was so burdensome. The seven-colored beetle is known to have long since died, only the lucky person ever got his bones. Buying with even a mountain of money, if the animals did not exist then Xin Zhan could not possibly make up for his defeat.
As well as Xin Chen, her brother's request couldn't possibly be kept. Given so dangerous it says his identity as the Leader of the Four Surveillance Units who now carries the War God Armor. It could be that Ren Yuan and Xin Zhan were exposed to his sap, it was the thing he had been most wary of all this time. Involving the family for the problems he caused.
As he was caught off guard, Xin Zhan came attacking with an agile and unexpected move. There was hardly any sound as his feet retraced closer, as well as his balance in turning his body perfectly. In one jolt, the wooden sword that Xin Zhan used successfully hit his sister's weapon. The sound of the wood rang out loud, Xin Chen's weapon slightly trembled by the loud punch.
At the beginning of the match alone Xin Zhan had shown evidence of his training all along. He never messed around to achieve his dream of becoming the successor of the Demon Sword. Since Xin Chen was absent, he still felt he had to compete to be the strongest. He needs recognition, not by those around him. But by the owner of the name of the Demon Sword himself.
"I've told you a thousand times. I'm the one who will inherit the name of the Demon Sword. Keep fighting to see your worst defeat in a lifetime."
That gaze, the gaze of Xin Zhan who had always been shrinking her guts. Ever since Xin Zhan's achievements had shone brightly, everyone cheered him to win, while others cursed him to lose.
Xin Chen looked next to him where Ren Yuan was cheering them on without siding with anyone.
"Now I know why I always lose to you."
Xin Chen tightened his grip.
"Because I always lose to my own fears."
