The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 81 - The Dance of the Twelve Spirits
Xin Chen chose not to waste any more time, he released the spirit aura he had drawn from Zhang Ziyi and blocked the attacks from the other spirits that kept coming. Zhang Ziyi's mouth opened involuntarily, he never believed Xin Chen could master it so easily like that.
While stemming from the rumors Xin Chen sounded was only a descendant who often brought trouble within the family, he received more insults than praise.
This news was heard by Zhang Ziyi even though he was in a different Empire because as a Spirit Controller the man knew quite well who Father Xin Chen was.
Because Zhang Ziyi felt rivaled when he heard that there was another person who could control a spirit like himself that was Xin Fai. And find out about him.
Over the course of several years of ridicule, Xin Chen met the Spirit Controller.
Zhang Ziyi spoke stammeredly, "Ja-so all this time you've been hiding your strength?! Pretending to be a fool and-" the man couldn't continue his words anymore. He swooped an eyebrow when he realized Xin Chen had managed to calm the spirits down and made him obedient. Zhang Ziyi had retreated from his place unconsciously.
"I told you I'd surpass my father. Anyhow, even if it has to be by studying the science of black flow."
The Steel Phoenix Sword shone brightly following the will of its user and adapted to the power, the reason why Xin Chen was able to learn all the things he remembered both from his stance and way of controlling was because of the Steel Phoenix Sword.
The heirloom made his mind become calmer so that he could learn everything so easily. While Zhang Ziyi was in disbelief, he considered it impossible for this to really happen unless indeed the Xin family kept this truth from the audience. That the real successor to the title of Demon Sword was Xin Chen, not his biological brother Xin Zhan.
Not so long ago Zhang Ziyi rose again with a strong fighting aura.
"Fortunately we were brought together today, that way I can destroy potential bullies like you!" Zhang Ziyi started to look different from the previous one, the surroundings became extremely heavy by the air pressure.
"For the sake of devotion to Emperor Jun, I am willing to sacrifice my life here!" he shouted suddenly, giving rise to a huge voice that echoed.
The spirit power increased by tens of times to become even more terrifying, making the energy go out uncontrollably as the Book of Spirit Controllers unleashed an unusual power. Zhang Ziyi grasped the power with his hand, which made the spirits behind Xin Chen return to him without being left out.
"Don't underestimate a Spirit Controller!"
"The one from the beginning underestimated his enemy was you alone" Xin Chen replied unwillingly. His eyes were centered on the spirit energy that was constantly spreading around. It seems that something big is going to happen soon.
A black ball-shaped light emerged from Zhang Ziyi's hand, enlarging and getting bigger as time went on. Xin Chen realized that the power was too great for him.
"Chen, that man is no longer your match. Let me just get it sorted out. If later another human being realizes my existence try to lie as before."
Those words came out of the mouth of the Lightning Fox just like that. As a powerful demon, he was able to sense for himself the level of strength Zhang Ziyi was already above the natural limits of ordinary humans. He had actually given his soul to the berserk spirits. Swap his body and soul for strength alone.
"Master Fox, you seem to have forgotten what you said before." Xin Chen looked behind him slowly. "The only way to be strong is to defeat an enemy that is above my strength. Until one day I can stand over them all, I won't stop messing with them."
'Well, this child, he was indeed born for his own battleground.' Inner Lightning Fox.
There was no harm in trying to see this disciple fighting against an enemy that was already far above him.
"Prepare yourself, the enemy can come from anywhere and anytime. Don't split your concentration on unnecessary things."
Xin Chen understood, he started to put up a position ready to fight. Looking intently towards the front to watch every move, trying to read it and the moment Zhang Ziyi suddenly disappeared from his place, he was made a little shocked.
The Lightning Fox had already realized that the fight against the Spirit Controller would be unbalanced. Sure enough, the moment Zhang Ziyi appeared from under Xin Chen and threw him over with immense spirit power gathered in his palms, the child could barely twitch.
'Damn it, if my enemy does not look like this even Steel Phoenix cannot work to read his movements ...' Xin Chen's inner self as his body lands on the ground, made some of his bones feel banged by hard rocks. Haven't had a chance to catch Zhang Ziyi's breath already preparing for the after-fire.
"The Book of Spirit Controllers - The Dance of the Twelve Spirits!" Zhang Ziyi launched another deadly attack, twelve spirit ghosts with dancer-like shapes appeared. Stabbing Xin Chen from twelve different directions at one time. Now Xin Chen understood why the Lightning Fox alone was being overwhelmed against this one enemy.
Spirits don't seem to be able to read their movements before they actually bring themselves up. And the moment they appeared in that second also the attack was carried out. There is no time to prepare.
Wei Feng and Ye Long did not remain silent, the two of them returned to the Runaway Village after sensing that something was amiss there. Seeing that the residents had been under the control of the Spirit Controlling Book, Wei Feng intended to return to inform Xin Chen.
But his eyes stopped when he saw Xiu Juan returning to the Runaway Village, he and his cousin were walking as usual.
"Si-shit! They would be affected by the Spirit Controllers if they saw the spirit moon! Ye Long, don't let that spirit moonlight absorb their souls!"
Ye Long obeyed Wei Feng's orders, he jumped high and arrived near Xiu Juan and Xiu Qiaofeng made the earth feel like an earthquake. Xiu Juan was surprised not to play games, how could he not be surprised to see a dragon right in front of his eyes and flapping wings made their bodies both covered by his shadow.
Xiu Juan drew his sword, preparing to attack Ye Long before the dragon attacked Xiu Qiaofeng. At that moment Wei Feng shouted loudly. "He's not your enemy, Miss Xiu. The dragon belonged to Xin Chen!"
"Xin Chen?! He never kept a dragon. How can you say it so easily?" Xiu Juan immediately denied, moreover he did not know who Wei Feng was and the man he came from spoke without showing his respect to the Imperial Pillar.
"Well..." Wei Feng scratched the back of his head in confusion as he approached, "Maybe you know the child earlier than I do. But there are some things you don't know, she's not the Xin Chen you used to know."
"What do you mean?" Xiu Juan pulled his eyebrows up, not grasping Wei Feng's intention of speaking so. "I don't care about that, I have to talk to Xin Chen right now."
Xiu Juan gradually calmed down but not with Xiu Qiaofeng, the skin of the little girl who was already as white as snow became increasingly whitish as blood seemed to stop flowing in her body. He did not dare to move in the slightest fear of Ye Long clawing at him with those sharp hooves.
