The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 354 - Secret Area
The fight was inevitable again, Xin Zhan advanced at the very front. Compared to Xin Chen who instantly killed, he followed his own path. No one was killed in his hands. Some people fainted or at least had a fracture. The enemy ranks were so long they passed, cheers and also the sound of swords colliding with each other.
The entire city became an endless pool of blood. Xin Chen killed the last person who was in front of him. His blood-filled sword glistened back in the rain. The two of them chased after the increasingly distant footsteps ahead there.
Xin Zhan had just realized they were entering the territory guarded by archers. He did not have time to tell Xin Chen, arrows had been eyeing his body.
Unexpectedly Xin Chen precisely caught the arrow, he created a lightning arrow and instantly turned the arrow on the person hiding on the roof. The man died on the spot. Xin Zhan had almost lost his concentration by the deadly shot.
"I've never seen you shoot that good."
"Seven years alone in Renwu City was very boring. Maybe in that moment I started to think that practice was becoming more fun."
Xin Zhan felt rivaled. Ever since she was a child she had always excelled compared to Xin Chen. And even now he still did not want Xin Chen to be a step ahead of him. But his selfishness was thrown away, Xin Zhan said slowly. "You've gone too far beyond me."
"What?"
"none. We gotta hurry." Xin Zhan again advanced in front of Xin Chen. Although he was currently far behind, Xin Zhan still wanted to be the figure standing in front of his sister when in danger.
Suddenly Xin Zhan stopped, it turned out that this city was a dead end city that was blocked by a high cliff with mountains of rocks. But that is not what makes it stop, but because a building that stands firmly and blends together with the rock cliff. Very large, around it stood a fire tower. There are several manning grounds and also an iron gate equipped with deadly traps.
Just this time the two of them saw such a military building. His guard exceeded the guard at the emperor's palace. There, they had greeted hundreds of armed soldiers and thirty more people in plain clothes. Compared to a fully armed warrior, that ordinary person was much stronger.
In front of the building was a row of archers. It was as if they had known their arrival.
"How is this?"
Xin Zhan gripped the sword in his hand tightly. Both of them were soaked with blood soiling all over the body.
"Kill all without rest. If possible, do not use a large force that can lure other regional soldiers. We could be in danger."
Although no one had ever said it but Xin Chen knew this Military country was more prioritizing soldiers than warriors. They could sense that when one used his power, it might be something forbidden. Or such power is only allowed to those who are referred to as the Strongest Ten.
By taking the safe path, it meant that Xin Chen had to physically fight with these people. Xin Zhan came forward slashing at the group of enemies in front of him. Split the line and enter the middle of the fight. From all directions the enemy surrounded him, Xin Chen entered into this battle. Both their backs turned back to each other, protecting each other from enemy attacks.
Xin Zhan pulled up his sleeve. "This time I'm serious."
The fight began with a boisterous cry that drew nearer and became. The clash after impact set the fighting atmosphere increasingly fierce. Xin Zhan subverted the soldiers, locking the necks of the men in front. Another soldier accidentally attacked his friend Xin Zhan, to the extent that Xin Zhan did not get a single cut from the opponent. He fought superiorly among the great warriors.
But due to the thick armor the opponent was wearing, Xin Zhan was unable to kill his opponent easily. A long slash managed to pierce through the neck of the soldier behind him, Xin Zhan went berserk. In a short time he killed three people at once. But he is disbanded when a man in a tramp-like outfit enters the fight. He was made to retreat several times in order to avoid the deadly incision playing in front of his face.
Xin Zhan leaped backwards, his back smashing into someone who was now closing his eyes with both hands holding a sword parallel to his chin. Two seconds later, screams and moans echoed down the road that Xin Chen was walking through. One by one the soldiers fell, some survivors of the unexpected technique tried to run as far as possible.
"That technique-wasn't it just in the Book of Seven Keys? How did you learn it, hey-" Xin Zhan cheered in disbelief. He really needs an explanation.
Yet Xin Chen continued to advance in front of him, clearing a path filled with enemies. He stopped when a warrior blocked the road. Xin Chen opened his eyes which implied a murderous aura. That look did not make his enemy tremble.
Xin Zhan was pressed into the chaos that was squeezing him. Frustrated, Xin Zhan finished off dozens of soldiers until his normally clean hands were covered in the blood of dozens of people. In the end, he was approached by senior warriors who immediately beat him back.
In the opposite direction Xin Chen dueled one-on-one with the man earlier, a shout soared high amid the swift sound of rain.
The thumping sound along with the fall of the enemy in front of Xin Chen became the start of a real fight. He had just killed one of the most powerful warriors among all the enemies. The raised sword high with both hands, the number of soldiers had reduced a lot due to Xin Zhan. But Xin Chen only realized that her brother was in a desperate situation.
The three warriors ganged at him at once, the wounds on his body that had not completely dried were notoriously open. Xin Zhan resisted the attack on it with a sword. The young man's hands trembled violently, his entire body becoming the target of an increasingly violent enemy.
Xin Zhan's defense collapsed instantly as his eyes caught the other enemy's thrusting sword at him.
Two strikes at once almost took his life if Xin Chen did not throw a sword right in front of his face. Blocking the two swords at the same time. Xin Zhan stood up again, his stomach bleeding out that was unrelenting.
"A wanna give up? You just killed twenty-six."
Xin Zhan's face turned pale. Unfortunately the rain accelerated his blood to come out. He cursed in the heart.
"Where might I give up here. You'll go home if you want!"
