The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 98 - Chasing with Time
"Don't you think this lightning energy is capable of killing me."
"Wait to explode first and then you can judge it all you want." Xin Chen lowered his hand and stopped using the power of lightning, the lightning arc in his hand slowly disappeared with his eyes continuously watching towards the front.
His opponent did not realize there was something wrong with the arrow in his hand, he did not see right at the end of the arrow something was suspected in such a way that it was difficult to recognize. As Xin Chen poured lightning power on the arrow through the air something exploded and spread in the air in the blink of an eye.
When this sudden situation made the young man's eyes wide open, he put on a defensive position.
"B-poison bomb!?" furious, the young man tried to get rid of the poison smoke that controlled the surrounding area but Xin Chen had first come to silence his mouth with a mild poison that he had deliberately stored for the situation as it is now.
He managed to make the young man faint and instantly took out the Steel Phoenix from the spatial ring while storing the Blood Ghost Mask.
Xin Chen's heart was beating very fast while under the influence of the red Phoenix Steel's power, he managed to extract a bit of memory from the young man's head and almost everything was useless. His hands began to tremble violently, the red Phoenix Steel began to be unable to control him anymore.
The heirloom absorbed too much power if he used it for a long time. Just like the Steel Phoenix he had. It was just that this one piece had a much greater impact on him.
Xin Chen paused for a moment to catch his breath, when he realized that his nose was bleeding. It was inconceivable how the two robed men from the Valley of the Gods used this red Phoenix Steel for such a long time.
Either it was because Xin Chen was unfamiliar or there was a way to control the power. In the end Xin Chen repeated once more. Looking for information on where the Steel Phoenix Sword was placed quickly.
While he was being preoccupied, Ye Long's voice sounded from a distance. He screamed like he was hurt by something and the sound of an ebsi door rang out loud afterwards. Ye Long had already been caught by the party of the Four Surveillance Units and it seemed that he was trying to break free there.
Xin Chen's state was increasingly desperate when he heard the sound of the foot clattering of the Chairman of the Four Surveillance Units and its members walking beside the building. Just needing to turn around alone they would find Xin Chen was retrieving information from one of their men.
Luckily in the final seconds Xin Chen managed to see the memories as the young man hid the Steel Phoenix Sword located inside the room of the Chairman of the Four Surveillance Units. It was placed inside a large crate that was locked using a fire spell.
Anyone who tries to unlock it will explode. While the crate that protects the goods inside is very hard. So when an explosion occurs the object stored in it will not get any impact.
The Blood Ghost Mask was successfully removed at the right time. Xin Chen simply disappeared as they came and the Chairman of the Four Surveillance Units instantly looked towards him in a look of wrath.
He lost the Phoenix Steel he had just obtained and now he was again made shocked when he found one of the members of the Four Surveillance Units lying helplessly with two guards dead lifeless.
"Someone broke into our place..." His voice looked more like a growl, his hardened cheekbones were holding back the emotions that had since made his head boil. Until now there has been no clarity about who has infiltrated their territory, there have been no reports at all about this.
"Good!"
After finding out where the location of the existence of the Phoenix Steel Sword Xin Chen had instantly moved there in high speed, he did not care anymore about the five-second time limit in the use of the Blood Ghost Mask. Now even he can survive ten seconds using the power of the mask if in a very desperate situation.
After entering a very large place a hall was clearly plastered before his eyes. He spun around to various places to look for the location of the Steel Phoenix Sword earlier.
Arriving there Xin Chen cursed loudly in his heart when he saw the door of the room of the Chairman of the Four Surveillance Units. How not, even using the spirit body alone the protective spell deliberately installed on the door was still not easy to pass.
Xin Chen struck the barrier created by the protective spell made by the Chairman of the Four Surveillance Units. He drained over fifty percent of his strength in order to destroy the protective spell.
In that case Xin Chen felt quite lucky, he managed to open the door despite having it fall apart.
'Before they realized I had to move fast. Let's just hope the time comes, otherwise Ye Long..' Xin Chen felt like he was chasing time.
Everything was going very fast and was out of his control at the moment. Not thinking twice about Xin Chen aiming for the fire spell using the Lightning Arrow.
The fire spell that protected the large chest made a loud explosive sound. And beyond Xin Chen's expectations, the voice was too loud to be heard from over a hundred meters away.
This made the situation outside become chaotic, the sound of the clattering of dozens of feet coming together made Xin Chen's heart work ten times faster than usual. Only four of them were himself almost made dead if only Ye Long did not save. Especially with everyone and plus they have a Chairman.
It was also thought by him that maybe after today he could not live quietly. Dealing with the Four Surveillance Units would probably cause a great disaster either for himself or for his family. But if he were to let the Steel Phoenix fall into their hands it was obvious the Shang Empire was in much bigger trouble.
Xin Chen had managed to regain his Steel Phoenix Sword even though he had now lost a lot of manpower. The strength of the Blood Ghost Mask weakened along with the depletion of the strength within his body. Xin Chen immediately hid the Phoenix Steel Sword and the red Phoenix Steel within the space ring. When the door opened, he ran through the window.
"Rather than being said to be chasing time, I think it's more like chasing ghosts.." slow-mouthed, his leg felt almost broken when he landed on the ground. He immediately used spirit mode in order to freely roam.
Xin Chen ran from place to place, he had to find Ye Long immediately if he did not want the Black Dragon to be in great danger. Given Jin Sakai once said that the people of the Four Surveillance Units used stealth gems to strengthen their weapons, in another sense it could have been Ye Long killed to get the gems from his body.
Xin Chen looked for the dungeon he had been through and did not meet Ye Long there, he followed in the footsteps of the people from the Four Surveillance Units and they did not move at all towards Ye Long's place. Fifteen minutes wasted, Xin Chen's eyes stopped on the Chairman of the Four Surveillance Units who was already furious. Especially at the headquarters guards that he felt were incompetent in performing their duties.
