The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 42 - Power Tip
The rosy eyes from the drunken stare at Xin Chen sharply as well as threateningly, "Where do you know how to cure me? Are you people from there too? Or do you have the cure? Answer!"
"I'm not the people from there, it's just that I've passed through Ghost Village and stolen something in their hiding place."
"You think I'll believe it?" The man tested Xin Chen's courage again.
"You should consider again why I could have survived there without contracting the disease." His friends were all over Xin Chen, although there was still a little disbelief as to why the child did not cause the symptoms they felt. Itchy skin wants to burn, reddened eyes and increasingly weakened heart rate.
"You have it?! Give me!"
"Just me!"
"Revelation! I asked for it first!"
The adult men were scrambling to ask, pushing each other to not be hindered by the other. Xin Chen let out a bitter laugh, even though they previously looked like friends who lived their lives but at times like that only concerned the safety of each other's lives.
"I'll give it to you if you answer my question."
"Let me answer it!"
"Ck, get the fuck out of here! You didn't want to take care of this kid, now you're fighting like this!"
"You don't like it? Wanna fight with me?"
Debate after debate came out of their mouths, which finally left Xin Chen exhausted from breaking up. He waited for these people to shut up first in order to be heard.
"Here, shut up. Listen to me." Xin Chen took out a few bottles from the space ring. "I have a lot, even enough for all of you. One representative is now facing me."
One of them immediately showed up. Xin Chen immediately threw his question. "Other than your group, there's still another group of Blood Devil Humans left?"
"Yes, just so you know some of us can still survive to this day. Only, they survived in disguise. Disguised to be the custodians of small villages or farmers."
"So, didn't he say you couldn't live without killing? You bloodthirsty demons, there's no way you can live in peace like an ordinary human."
Listening to the man's thump so slightly held back his talk, feeling Xin Chen might just not side with them.
"Just calm. I wouldn't have taken out my weapons to fight you, otherwise why would I have brought this medicine."
"Haha! Also true! You just want information from us, don't you?" Laughter boomed. "Look, this is indeed a secret between us. You can find one place where the rest of the Blood Devil Humans live together. They look like people in general. But if it's night, they'll kill."
"Can you tell them where?" Xin Chen asked back.
"They should still be in the North, still very far from where we are. Be careful if you enter that place at night, not just dozens of people attacking you, but hundreds," he said hoping that Xin Chen was afraid of this Demonic Blood Man. "Well, now give us the antidote."
Xin Chen gave a small smile, giving dozens of such bright green glass bottles. They also accepted it with pleasure. Because, however, even though they can have fun, if the body is gnawed at a strange disease like this, they cannot enjoy.
Xin Chen turned around, intending to leave the village. Even the village chief never believed Xin Chen was healing their enemy. He had almost cried like a woman, it might indeed be his fault for treating Xin Chen so badly earlier.
Eleven people behind had completely swallowed the potion, waiting for it to work to cure their illness. But who would have thought, just inflammation in the body is getting crazy. Their skin burned like paper. Gnawing at the body from within was extremely ferocious.
Xin Chen laughed cunningly, "You fool? You should've listened to my words earlier..." He repeated what he had said earlier while putting on a sly smile.
"I wouldn't have taken out my weapons to fight you, otherwise why would I bring this medicine." A wide smile was plastered on Xin Chen's face, making those Demonic Blood Humans immediately spit out their entrails.
"To fight you, I don't need a gun. Enough with these bottles and with your greed too, you will be killed yourself."
Blood poured down the village ground, making the residents around scream. Xin Chen continued his words no matter what. "Blame yourself. I never said this was the cure, did I? Even if medicine means medicine to ease your way to hell."
Xin Chen took out his arrow, worried that these warriors were attacking the surrounding community instead. Although not too expert in aiming at least can still hit the enemy's body. One by one began to fall lifeless, looking like a premeditated murder committed by a small child. This certainly made a deep impression on Xin Chen.
The enemy had died completely with a pool of blood.
"Sir, wait a minute!" The village head came in a hurry, just now he finished preparing the rewards for successfully removing this Demonic Blood Man from his village. "Take this, even if it's not much. This is our form of thanks to you. If you want something to say, maybe I can give it to you." The man showed his respect.
Xin Chen accepted happily, no pleasantries or anything. Money, food and possessions are not good to refuse, he thought.
For a moment he thought of something, "Do you guys have smoke bombs?"
"Smoke bomb?" The village chief said, remembering that thing. "Ah, that. The explosives the sea pirates made?"
Xin Chen himself did not know much about the smoke bombs he had found in the Silver Pagoda Association. It is unclear where the bomb came from, but from the news heard the pirates in the Shang Empire learn how to concoct the bomb in the land of people. This is what makes smoke bombs difficult to find in the Shang Empire even in dark shops.
The village chief shook his head, feeling he had never seen the smoke bomb.
"You looking for this?" Said a young man dressed as a sailor. "I found some of these bombs floating in the ocean. Maybe because of the pirates' battle with the Sacred Sword Alliance at sea."
"Holy Sword Alliance?"
"Oh, you don't know yet? Even though their task was done, in the name of Holy Sword Chang Wei was still moving along with his companions. They waded through the ocean and defeated the filthy demons of the sea." The young man thrust out ten smoke bombs at once, "I thank you for helping us. Can you tell what your name is? We'll remember your kindness."
"My name..." Xin Chen paused for a moment, "Wait, if the Sacred Sword Alliance is here why don't you just ask them for help?"
The village chief and the inhabitants put on a desperate face, "You know, it's very difficult to call them here. Before being able to summon them, the Demonic Blood Man had already killed my people first," he said.
"That's it, yeah that's it. I have to go."
The Lightning Fox and Xin Chen moved after saying goodbye, making the young man who gave him the smoke bomb earlier bewildered.
"Wait, you haven't answered my question!"
Xin Chen waved his hand from a distance. "My name is Xin Chen."
"What-what!?"
