The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 304 - Underwater Hell
There was one place where pure power gathered rapidly. A place that is so far from human settlements and can only be reached using the sea route. The water surrounding an island with a volcano in such a deserted place was so calm. But who would have thought, the calm water has claimed the lives of thousands of people. No one ever knows what makes humans die when approaching the mysterious mountain island. No one dared to make sure again until in the last hundred years, not a single human came to the place. The legend of the haunted island spread a long time ago, on an island so far from the coast that there is actually only a collection of barren volcanoes. It is said that there is no life there. Whether it's an animal or a human. The unusual temperature on the island is not a suitable place to live. And after all no swordsman would bother to train his body on the island just for the sake of the pure force of nature which was extremely dangerous.
On the beach that seemed rarely visited there was not a single boat in sight, Shui looked at Xin Chen beside him.
"Prepare to dive."
"No need." Xin Chen's reply sounded relaxed, Shui frowned until it folded. "You don't want to go there? I'll just tell him he won't come out. That's if he's there."
"I don't need to dive. Just get in your dimension until you arrive safely at the nest."
"Currently, if it's hard business, you're best at finding ways to avoid it."

Xin Chen was now in Yang Plains. Such a beautiful place where no human can enter. Indeed, Shui's special powers seem to be of no use in battle or war.
He stared in disbelief, it used to be said that the Xin clan had lived in this place for quite a long time. That is what made Shui so close to his father. Xin Chen approached a small house that was so simple, perhaps it was made for humans. And he wasn't sure if there were any humans there.
His hand opened the door slowly, seeing a fox lying there. His body was so cold and his gray feathers were hardened by the liquid blood. Xin Chen recalled the first time he had found the already lifeless Thunder Fox, perhaps that day was as devastated as when his father had left with the enemy. He killed many innocent people just to quell his anger.
"I always felt it was my fault."
Xin Chen sat on the side of the Lightning Fox, his blue eyes looking empty and hollow.
"It should have been before the war came I told dad. I should have been stronger that day. It should be that day ... I didn't leave you."
How could he not realize it during these seven years, after the war the Thunder Fox was the most battered. The power he had saved millions of years had been used only for that day. Only to fight for the humans who actually turned to attack him. It felt so foreign to see the grumpy fox silent and stiff as wood. Xin Chen said little.
"Tell me who took it. Even if I have to fight the Ice Dragon like I used to, or by killing the Dark Dragon I can make amends ..."
It's free to say it if only he speaks. "I really don't want to be sorry anymore."
His mistake was to throw away everything that was important to him. Ye Long, Ren Yuan and also Xin Zhan and also the Lightning Fox. He had tried to fix it and now only the Lightning Fox could not be saved.
Xin Chen had only realized Shui outside the house back then. Her enormous body looked foreign in Xin Chen's eyes, considering that Xin Chen had been used to seeing a human form of Shui that looked like a strange female form.
It didn't take long, they arrived at such a large place. Precious rocks grow there and are overgrown with moss. Xin Chen was just scared because these shiny objects Ye Long came out of his nest.
"Where is this?"
"Ten thousand feet in the depths of the sea. Just so you know."
Xin Chen was stunned as he saw Shui covering his flaky-looking arm. As hot as the temperature of the water out there until the Water Ruler Demon seemed to be hit quite badly.
"There's no need to worry so. I'd be dry if I kept it at this high temperature. As soon as you meet him and tell him what's going on outside. I'm sure he spent thousands of years here he had no idea the Dark Dragon had started acting."
At the foot of the volcano located inside the seabed, the temperature increases dramatically. Shui chipped repeatedly while shouting, saying he was a Water Demon Lord. But it does not produce anything but the temperature that rises every minute.
Unfortunately Shui's human body was so fragile, he changed his form into a small water dragon. And choosing to follow Xin Chen, they continued to enter the foot of the long dormant volcano. There was no sign of anything in it other than the terrible sounds of the sea.
Both are almost desperate.
Shui had arrived at the place where the demon should have been hiding. And he was not there other than the ruins of the stone.
"I can't hold it any longer or my real skin will be badly damaged."
"Go to the surface. I'll catch up after I find something."
Shui didn't know what to talk about, what his priority was now his skin which became his first defense as a dragon. "Then I return, stay careful here and quickly rise to the surface."
Xin Chen nodded. As Shui left, he continued to search through the various cracks and places. Xin Chen went deeper and deeper into the distance so that he could see a tunnel filled with red lava fused in the water. A different place than before. He went into that tunnel. Getting away from the surface and delivering it to empty space where the red flames blaze without being extinguished by water. Xin Chen started to recall Shui's story while in the Valley of the Gods. How could the dragon defeat this demon, the fire was not even extinguished by the water.
And more importantly, his killing aura attacked Xin Chen indiscriminately. That place is hell. Underwater hell inhabited by monstrous creatures. His reddened form was smoldering with flames as well as murderous eyes aimed directly at Xin Chen.
"Man doesn't know himself."
