The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 73 - Chain of Lightning Fire
Gu Long had been interested in the treasure, he was still trying to bid because in terms of negotiations accepting it directly without raising an offer was not him. For financial problems, he is famous. Therefore even though the Golden Wasp Hill sect is still small but their money is abundant.
"Only with those treasures? I think the price of your head is far more expensive than all of that, Second Young Master Xin." Gu Long was getting more and more in control of the situation, he smiled freely. Convinced of being able to win an argument with a little kid like Xin Chen. After all without the Blood Ghost Mask was just as Xin Chen was like a useless rat.
As a senior swordsman figure he already knew who Xin Chen was after the boy took off his mask, who did not know the Xin great family in this era. To Gu Long, with such strong evidence and reason getting rid of Xin Chen was akin to weakening the strength of the big sects. Because Xin Chen himself was a generation that would inherit the White Mist Valley sect.
"Master Gu Long seems to be underestimating a child like me a lot..." The circumstances began to reverse, as Xin Chen took out a number of papers and other notes he had obtained in the place where Gu Long worked.
"The order of killing a hundred thousand-year-old demons, embezzlement-budget"
Gu Long raised his hand, taking out a sword from an arm-shirt that shot towards Xin Chen. Xin Chen was holding back the rate of the attack using the Steel Phoenix sword. "Hasn't a new rule already been imposed by Emperor Qin? Killing a thousand-year-old demon for no reason is a great offense, for the sake of maintaining the balance between humans and demons you must not kill them. Especially with that amount, you think what punishment will the Golden Wasp Hill sect receive later?"
Xin Chen slightly added, "Perhaps the lowest fine of millions of gold pieces, I hope Father won't consider leniency for your actions either."
Gu Long's steps were slightly restrained, feeling threatened by the conversation the two of them let alone being witnessed by his own student, wanting him to beat up the little boy. "I accept your challenge, boy, you think you can do with the power of a small class like that, Failed Child?"
The sword that Gu Long controlled moved increasingly brutally, the man made use of the wind energy changes to control the direction of his weapon without having to hold. As a senior swordsman Gu Long was highly respected in his sect. His experience in fighting was no longer to be underestimated.
While Xin Chen was still holding on, his legs were dragged several meters away by the devastating force Gu Long unleashed. "It seems you've never faced a great warrior like me? It's a shame to have to fight a snot boy like you."
Xin Chen was still holding back, the word for word that Gu Long threw out was indeed heartbreaking. It is undeniable that it is the reality, but that was before. Xin Chen looked at Gu Long sharply.
"An old man like you does know what?"
"I know that in your family you're the only useless person, messing around and just adding weight. Right, eh? Don't just because you managed to get the antidote, you've got a big head.... Hahahaha if I were your father, I might have thrown it in the gutter!" Gu Long laughed nonstop. He still intends to continue.
"Well, how many years ago, yeah, when I heard your grandmother was dying because of you. Haha, suck. Everyone who respects your father starts to smell, seeing his son as nothing more than a trash man. Have you ever seen his face shine?! Shame to have a son like you! You'll be a failed child forever!"
Gu Long's sword thrust grew heavier, Xin Chen's body couldn't hold him any longer but he remained unmoved. Not spitting out a word as Gu Long insulted him.
"Hey, hey, hold on..." Wei Feng broke up while raising his hand, "You tried to knock him down with words. Realize not, he's a kid. As a parent you're pretty sneaky too, huh?"
Wei Feng was slightly jolted when he recognized the voice not Gu Long who replied, but Xin Chen himself. He fixedly looked at Xin Chen, questioning this point.
"Who cares if I'm a failed child or not? You know what about me? Since childhood, Zhan Gege has been surrounded by people who admire him, you'd be even happier to hear that I'm being trampled by people who admire my brother." Xin Chen lowered the sword that had protected him from Gu Long's stabbing.
The man was a little surprised, why the change in energy was interrupted to the point of not being able to control the sword at will. "You're just an outsider, you know me. It has decided how my fate will be in the future. Look at yourself, do you always feel like you're winning? Never failed or discouraged?"
"Haha!" Gu Long's laughter boomed, a look of disdain deliberately installed him to heat up his interlocutor. "Comparing myself with a kid like-Argghh!!"
Gu Long spontaneously let out a loud scream, he retreated for a moment in shock. After slightly restrained Gu Long's eyes went straight towards Xin Chen, the lightning chain that stung him earlier was indeed from that child. Lightning mingled with flames spread through the air he controlled and grabbed Gu Long like a sting of fire.
"Let me teach you the true meaning of failure. Like when you fail to be a good leader, accepting all the dirty work for the money. Pathetic." He added, "Being a hero is not enough just with strength, deeds and sacrifices that bring honor."
Gu Long swiftly fought back against Xin Chen's attack, considering Xin Chen's body was still very small it was easy for him to run and make a trick move. His running speed even though it was not as great as Gu Long was still enough to outwit him.
Upset being played by a child, Gu Long unleashed his strength. Making a dusty wind blow very fast and dispelling Xin Chen to be unable to get close to him.
The flow of swords from the Golden Wasp Hill itself is more inclined to master the sword technique more freely. They played the sword with wind breathing so that each slash gave rise to a sharp wind. For a high-level fighter like Gu Long, controlling a sword using the wind was no longer a strange thing. They can attack at will without having to move.
Gu Long stomped his feet, making waves of wind come and flew whatever was around him. "Little boy ... I'm telling you, I won't play games from now on. When I get your head back, don't expect me to let you go." The threat made Wei Feng shudder in horror, he was eager to stop this fight.
According to Wei Feng, no matter how great Xin Chen was if he was faced with a great swordsman of course he would lose. It was not without reason that he thought so, the great warriors themselves were not random people. They had gone through a lot of experience and training desperately, fighting against death and gaining incredible endurance.
To that degree, even if their entrails were torn apart in such a way they could still stand. Like the great swordsman who protected the Ghost Village back then.
Still in the fierce fight between Gu Long and Xin Chen, second by second it went tense. Those who were watching the fight could only hold their breath as Xin Chen's legs were almost caught by Gu Long, just like the man said earlier. If Xin Chen was caught it would not hesitate to have his entrails torn apart. That horrifying sight would definitely be done in this village, in front of the crowd. Makes the atmosphere warm up second by second.
