The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 37 - The Secret of the Eternity Pill
The seven demons at once protected the alchemist woman, their growls sounding to bully Xin Chen. One after another began to charge forward, while Xin Chen was still where he stood.
When the two demons pounced on him, the alchemist woman's eyes bought wide. Xin Chen simply broke through from there, like a ghost. Xin Chen's gaze started to head towards her, making the woman feel that something was wrong with her.
The white mist covered almost Xin Chen's entire body, but not with the sharp look of his eyes. There was something shining brightly on his head, the sparks started to spread making the originally white mist turn blood red.
The alchemist woman had never imagined the first time she had been so frightened when faced with such a small child. Truly looking like a Devil, slowly a terrifying aura began to rush at him. The deadly aura from the Blood Ghost Mask came out along with Xin Chen who kept on approaching.
"Fog Ghost... You look like–" Xin Chen was suddenly already behind his back, slashing using his full speed splitting his body. Although the sharpness of his sword was nothing but the strength that Xin Chen wielded was also not playful. Making the armor that the woman was wearing was also pierced by the sword.
Xin Chen's own incision was still not enough to kill him, as he fell to his knees Xin Chen used his ghost mode and inserted his hand right into the heart of the opponent.
The alchemist woman was startled when she realized Xin Chen was nothing but a ghost, her eyes widened as she felt the child's hand inside her body and pulled her heart from there.
"Armrgh!!!"
The Lightning Fox herself was shocked to see Xin Chen's cruelty, she never imagined Xin Fai had ever done such a heinous thing like this.
"This child... If left unchecked, we can lose control." The Lightning Fox drew closer to him, making a final attack on the demons that were his opponents before leaving.
"Chen, what are you doing?"
Xin Chen raised his head, looking at the fox with a blank look.
"I hate blood" he said.
"Then why did you kill in such a way? Your hands are more tainted with blood."
"I hate blood. But if I had to confront him for the sake of those in this city, end the war and protect my home, I wouldn't hesitate to do it to anyone involved." Finished saying so the still throbbing heart in his hand he broke, the woman's body itself had been sprawled lifeless. With wide eyes.
The Lightning Fox shook slowly. Not knowing what to respond to.
Xin Chen entered the inner part of the Ghost Village, finding the corpse of a man who felt familiar, sure enough, that man was the person he had once saved in his house. The medicine concocter who came to Ghost Village to deliver this poison cure.
Some of the buildings in this place had been burned to the ground making the puff of smoke become so thick, Xin Chen was sure that the alchemist woman must have polluted the air with powdery poison.
Make anyone who breathes it die. In addition, the water in this place is moss green. Although they can survive the smoke, they will not be able to live by drinking toxic dirty water.
"Dam... There have been a lot of murders lately. Did you know that all the heavenly heirlooms are in our Empire? He should have known... Soon the war will be back."
Xin Chen turned his body, addressing the Lightning Fox for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Asked the Lightning Fox felt something was wrong.
"Look, Dad said the Earth Ruler Demon can control nature with its power. Can you bring down rain or something else to make the mist here disappear?"
The clouds floated low above them, from the direction of the sea accompanied by lightning chains below. Xin Chen was even to the point of worrying that one of the lightning bolts might strike him.
"Why? You want to get hit by lightning?"
"What's? Teacher, are you crazy? My body was badly injured and you want to add to the pain?"
"You can't die, can you?" The Lightning Fox replied to him, making Xin Chen silence his mouth unwilling to answer. He had yet to say this to the Lightning Fox. Makes it a little bit bad.
Suspicion began to come when the lightning-lightnings of the fox's creation began to descend to the surface of the sea, snatching at high speed and into the bottom of the sea. Making waves also rise and show the weather created by the Thunder Fox as if it were going to doom.
More precisely the apocalypse for Xin Chen, because at the time his eyes were busy observing the sea stream that had now been filled with high-voltage electricity his back was pushed into it.
"Tu-wait, no!!"
Byurrs
An electric shock shocked Xin Chen's body, even a great swordsman might not be able to stand it even instantly being killed by this electricity. The Lightning Fox became increasingly convinced by his conjecture, although he was not very clear on how Xin Chen's body could be that strong to withstand his electricity.
The Lightning Fox raised its lightning power making the tension even fiercer, Xin Chen tried to climb onto the bridge but the waves did not want it to go. The waves pulled Xin Chen further and further into the middle of the sea.
It rained heavily afterwards, the usual cooling rain now turned terrible. Each of those water droplets contained high-strength electricity, if in just one second thousands of water droplets fell into the sea meant Xin Chen had to be prepared to feel the most painful death while in the water.
"Arghh!! It's better to just die!" xin Chen shouted unable to anymore, feeling that the child had no power anymore The Lightning Fox pulled him from the water and laid him on the bridge.
"Can you still live?" ask the Lightning Fox.
Xin Chen glared his eyes in annoyance, still had the Lightning Fox ask for his safety after killing himself like that earlier.
"If there were no pills then maybe I would have become hundreds of ghosts that are beating on you" Xin Chen grumbled. His breathing was still unstable even though he was already on land.
"What do you mean by that? Can explain?"
"The Sun God Pill. He said it was an immortality pill, I thought it was just a lie but today I really didn't die. I should have been killed once by that woman and a hundred times by my own teacher," she replied slightly sounding like cursing.
"Hahahaha it's because I wanted to check it myself. It seems right."
Xin Chen snorted, "By the way you should be able to help me when you were almost killed by that woman."
The Lightning Fox walked first, unconcerned about Xin Chen who was still trying to stand behind him. "You think I want to help you?"
"Hm." In his heart the child could only grumble, indeed his mistake at the beginning did not immediately put on a ghost mask and ended up being stabbed by the female alchemist, who was an alchemist, but at least now he can prove that his body is indeed immortal.
Whether it was true or not, Xin Chen felt that he still had to search for answers regarding this pill of immortality. But it seems that the Sun God Pill was made by another Empire person, he would not get his information from anyone except by going there.
