The Devil Without Pardon
Ch 25: Freedom

"Huh?" Chun Yang who heard that answer felt puzzled. "Why?" chun Yang asked.

"I have always walked without a fixed purpose or desire. I just walked after what I was told!"

"You know, the Black Dragon Sect? It was the sect I grew up in. The sect was not made up of a family, but by children who were kidnapped, dumped or sold by their parents!"

"The children were then trained hard and shaped in such a way as to become a swordsman or assassin. And I, was one of those kids!" zao Hu said.

After hearing Zao Hu's story and understanding it, Chun Yang then said.

"Don't that mean you want freedom?" said Chun Yang.

Zao Hu who heard that immediately gasped and was stunned. His eyes grew widened looking towards Chun Yang.

On the other hand, Chun Yang continued his words.

"You live only by following the commands given by others to you. You are restrained by a chain called Command. You want to be free from the chains that always hold you back!"

"You want freedom!" said Chun Yang while looking towards Zao Hu.

Zao Hu who heard that was stunned and mused. He saw an eagle flying freely in the sky.

"Freedom yeah...."

Zao Hu raised his hands as high as possible. He wanted to achieve freedom like the Eagle.

With a steady heart, Zao Hu then grasped that freedom and smiled.

But at that moment, suddenly a staff came and scolded them.

"What are you guys doing? Fast work!" said the staff in a loud tone.

Later that night, Zao Hu secretly went to the forest behind the academy.

Zao Hu seemed to be holding a small bottle given by Chun Yima the day before.

He stared at the small bottle and intended to throw it away.

However when Zao Hu wanted to throw the small bottle, suddenly someone appeared from behind and reprimanded him.

"What do you want to throw away?"

The rebuke instantly made Zao Hu surprised and did not throw the bottle away.

Then when Zao Hu looked back, it turned out that the person who came and rebuked him was Chun Yang.

"You... What are you doing here?" ask Zao Hu.

"I should have asked like that. What are you doing in this place? And what are you hiding in your hands?" ask Chun Yang.

"I-this is nothing..hahaha!" zao Hu said nervously.

"If it's nothing, why should you throw it away? Give me!" said Chun Yang a little pushy.

"I'm sorry, but I can't give you this thing!" zao Hu said with a serious face.

"Do you want me to take it by force?" said Chun Yang.

"Try it if you can!" zao Hu said as he threw and played with the bottle.

Then with a quick step, Chun Yang directly advanced to snatch the bottle from Zao Hu's hands.

At that time the bottle fight began.

With hand technique and speed, Chun Yang tried to snatch the small bottle from Zao Hu's hand.

Yet Zao Hu who was faster and shrewd than Chun Yang, could easily maintain that small bottle in his hands.

But the real thing that was most interesting was, Zao Hu who saw the progress of Chun Yang.

"Waaah... Looks like you're better than you were before. But, it's still not enough to snatch this bottle from my hands!" said Zao Hu.

"Was... You talk too much!"

"PUNCH!"

Chun Yang gave a surprise punch to Zao Hu's face.

The stricken Zao Hu then took a few steps back.

"Fuck! You dare to hit?" said Zao Hu really feeling annoyed.

"Why not? If you don't want me to hit again, then quickly hand over the bottle!" said Chun Yang.

"What does this man want to do?" Chun Yang had a bad feeling.

"Then take it in the woods!" zao Hu said, directly throwing the bottle into the forest.

Thinking that Chun Yang couldn't possibly find the small bottle, Zao Hu was truly delighted.

"Haha.... Now you can't possibly get that bottle. I threw it into the woods!" said Zao Hu.

But on the other hand, Chun Yang face still looks calm and does not show any reaction.

"Zero, which way did the bottle fall?" ask Chun Yang in his mind.

"South, sir!"

"How far?"

"27 meters from here!"

"Show me the way!"

Then without saying much, Chun Yang walked into the forest to look for the small bottle.

Zao Hu who saw Chun Yang enter the forest then said.

"Hey, where are you going? Do you want to find that bottle? You can't possibly find him. Hey....."

Zao Hu wanted to stop Chun Yang from searching for the bottle, but Chun Yang ignored him and continued walking into the forest.

"Curtain! You stubborn! Just look, until when are you going to look for that bottle!" zao Hu said looking forward to Chun Yang's failure.

But after five minutes later, the result completely betrayed Zao Hu's expectations.

After exiting the forest, Chun Yang managed to bring back the small bottle in his hands.

Seeing that, Zao Hu was completely dumbfounded and unable to believe it.

"Mu-Impossible.... How can......"

"Now, can you explain to me, about this little bottle?" said Chun Yang.

Then forcefully, Zao Hu explained everything about the small bottle to Chun Yang.

"So the contents inside this little bottle are poison? And you were told to give it to me?"

"Yes.." replied Zao Hu weakly.

"Dick, you really are...."

"Hey! oi! Didn't I tell you that I abandoned my intentions?" zao Hu said as he raised both hands.

At that moment, Chun Yang calmed down again and looked at the small bottle he had in his hand.

"Third Prince, Chun Yima of the Sword Sect. He wanted to get rid of me by telling others to give me poison. Truly an evil and cunning way for a prince!"

"But... Maybe this is a good opportunity for me. If what was inside this small bottle was truly lethal poison, just like what Zao Hu had said. This poison definitely contains some rare herbal plant that contains spiritual energy!"

"If I take it, Zero can help me separate the poison and the medicine contained in it. Maybe that way, I can get some energy in addition! This is a really good opportunity!" thought Chun Yang while smiling.

Then Chun Yang put the small bottle into his shirt.

"alright. Now, let's go back to the dorm!" chun Yang said to Zao Hu.

"What about the poison?"

"I'm sita!"

"You're not going to do anything weird with that poison, are you?"

"No need to worry, I won't do anything weird!"

Zao Hu who heard that tried to believe it.

They both went back to the dorm together. But what they did not realize, that day the two of them had become friends.
