The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 83 - Letters from the White Mist Valley
"Because this little girl is pretty enough I will spare her life. But..." Zhang Ziyi narrowed his eyes, "If you want this child to be safe please prick your own neck in front of me. Choose where? The life of this little girl or you? I'll give you a minute to decide."
Xiu Qiaofeng shook his head strongly in protest, the little girl was unable to catch her breath due to the spirit hand.
As Xiu Qiaofeng's head looked up he was made strange by the shape of the moon above the sky. It looks so unusual that unconscious consciousness is thinning in a fast time.
"Miss Xiu, don't look at the moon!" wei Feng's memory was loud, it was useless that the girl had not heeded what she said and had lost control of her body.
The situation became even more dire when Xiu Juan took back his sword, either to obey Zhang Ziyi's words of suicide or fight back. Wei Feng did not know what to do in this situation.
"Can."
"H-ha?" Zhang Ziyi looked down where Xin Chen lay covered in blood, his hands tightly holding Zhang Ziyi's feet.
"What the hell–" the man gradually panicked and before long lightning flowed from his feet. It inflicts serious damage when its body is not in the spirit body. Zhang Ziyi had no time to change his form to spirit change because Xin Chen had already caught up to him first.
The fire burned the man's body at a high temperature, at which point Xin Chen's eyes turned red again. Making the Fire Flower burn so violently on his forehead.
Anyone was surprised to see the event. No one made a sound in that second.
"Fire Flowers are his... He absorbed the natural energy by force." The Lightning Fox could only guess these possibilities in the heart, Xin Fai once said as a child he had been killed by a warrior right in the heart but he was still alive.
It seemed that the special power of this Demon Man's body still applied to Xin Chen. Although it was not that great but if Xin Chen continued to force it, those Fire Flowers could even forcefully absorb large amounts of natural energy.
The trees around became withered, absorbed by Xin Chen who made it a lightning fire to burn Zhang Ziyi. The man was like melting in a furnace fire, plus a bolt of lightning from the sky also celebrated his suffering. The torture was perfect enough to take Zhang Ziyi's life. The figure who had massacred hundreds of souls.
The sword in Xiu Juan's hand just fell down, this terrifying sight could never be encountered in a lifetime. As the sky lightning raged and flames raged large to kill the humans.
This unequalled painful death was too hard to accept, let alone that doing so was Xin Chen. He knew very well who Xin Chen was and never expected his strength to change so drastically as it was now.
"Xin Chen's... What kind of hell have you been through like this?"
The Lightning Fox slightly coughed, considering that she had once submerged Xin Chen in high-powered electric seawater. If only his body were not immortal he might have been killed hundreds of times already.
Zhang Ziyi tried to protect his already severely injured body, even every time he recovered Xin Chen's strength instead emphasized his attacks even more. Make that guy
there is no chance of healing yourself.
A few seconds passed just like that, Xin Chen crawled up in order to get up. Retrieving the Steel Phoenix Sword and fusing the two changes in lightning and fire energy, made the sword change its color following the energy flowing within the sword metal blade.
In one last slash Xin Chen managed to end Zhang Ziyi's life, the man fell to his knees to the ground headlessly. While the spirit energy in his body disappeared from around the forest
with the dark of the night.
"I thought I was dead." Xiu Qiaofeng looked up, seeing that the moon was quite strange as before.
"Thank God... You should thank Xin Chen, he saved you." Xiu Juan said in relief. Given that Xiu Qiaofeng had managed to survive the black magic that the Spirit Controller did, it was likely that the residents were also detached from that forbidden move.
Xiu Qiaofeng frowned both of his eyebrows in surprise, "Auntie, what do you mean? I'm thanking him? Indeed he did ap-" Xiu Qiaofeng's red lips stopped saying so when he saw that Zhang Ziyi had fallen headless before Xin Chen.
"H-huh?!" Xiu Qiaofeng's reflex stood firm, closing in on Zhang Ziyi to make sure what he saw was correct or not. He glanced towards Xin Chen quickly, his eyes rounded. "You... Hmh! So annoying!" Xiu Qiaofeng kicked Xin Chen's shin very hard.
"Here's this female gorilla! You want to break my bones?"
"It's a pity, Second Young Master Xin, I as the Fighter of the Xiu Clan won't let you take the position of the first Imperial Pillar! Don't expect you to get that title if there's still me!"
Xiu Qiaofeng said so because it was already his dream to become the most respected Hero. To boast the name of his clan as well as Xiu Juan. Xiu Qiaofeng was willing to train during the night.
If Xin Chen stood a step away from him, it was not impossible that Xiu Qiaofeng was first defeated by him before he could obtain the position.
Xiu Juan finally approached Xin Chen, checking his body was fine or not. Recalling the puncture scar was still gaping wide on his body. Xiu Juan shook his head slowly, not understanding why Xin Chen did not grimace in pain with this severe wound.
One thing was the answer, perhaps Xin Chen had already felt far more severe death than just a spear thrust.
"Your injuries should be treated immediately. We will take care of your injuries before leaving the Runaway Village to execute Gu Long." Xiu Juan said quietly, but Xin Chen did not budge.
He instead opened a Book with the front covered with glossy black paper. When Zhang Ziyi was busy serving Xiu Juan and Xiu Qiaofeng, Xin Chen secretly picked up the book.
This Spirit Controlling Book in his hand was one of those forbidden books that was hard to obtain, other than having to kill Zhang Ziyi to possess it, he said, the price of the book if sold on the black market of the Wei Empire would break through the billions. A very, very high and unreasonable number that even a person like him could not have.
"The chen? Did you hear me?"
Xiu Juan said again, then Xin Chen turned his head towards him. "Yes?"
"You need to take care of your wounds first."
"All right." Xin Chen stuffed the book in a space ring, as he looked to the left and got a scornful look from the Thunder Fox, Xin Chen realized that his teacher was very forbidding for him if he wanted to learn the science of black flow.
Ye Long leaped towards Xin Chen delightedly, the weight of the black dragon making his body almost fall. While Xiu Qiaofeng who was standing not far away from them could only see him in a look of disbelief. Out of nowhere Xin Chen found the rare beast and what happened tonight was real or not. All those questions were swirling in his head.
The residents of the Runaway Village were already looking as usual, despite some chaos in some places. Upon seeing Xiu Juan and Xin Chen coming out of the new forest they could breathe a sigh of relief.
Xin Chen observed Jin Youji, the young man seemed to still be struck by his current state. Before he could approach Jin Youji, Xiu Juan first said.
"Your father sent me a letter, I hope you will read it. Maybe there's something he wants to say."
