The Legend of Zhu San
143: I'm sorry San'er
Tan Kuan had already used the Silver Hand Steps and had also used his Sword Intent to deal with the onslaught of the Two Demonic Butchers that was getting more and more devastating.
But the strength of the two of them were not much different from him, making Tan Kuan have to be overwhelmed, after exchanging attacks up to more than two hundred times.
At the moment when Tan Kuan started to push and the wounds began to drift on his body, a moment later Tan Kuan had to accept the bitter reality when he heard a loud shout from his teacher of the Thousand Faces Swordsman.
Two Swordsman Huang showed the true strength they had, making the wounds on Grandpa's body more and more severe. He had to give up on the fate set upon him.
The old body was hit by two powerful attacks that left him blindfolded forever. The opponent's sword precisely pierced his heart and a hard kick cracked the skull bone of the old whiz.
Shouts of pain as he died, rang out before his body fell to the ground drenched in blood flowing from the wounds on his chest and head.
“Guruuu!!”
Tan Kuan's concentration was split apart, making his desperate self and body scarred, an easy target for the Two Demonic Butchers' attacks.
A Tread attack containing poison on Gao Yu's left hand, landed heavily on Tan Kuan's back. His body bounced and was greeted with Feng Hu's powerful slash towards his neck.
Tan Kuan still had time to fend off with his silver sword, so the slash only hit his shoulder.
Tan Kuan's body fell on the ground and at the moment Gao Yu was about to finish him off with a powerful strike with his sword. Four white objects shot and exploded around Tan Kuan.
The explosion turned into smoke which immediately enveloped Tan Kuan's body as well as the air in the courtyard. A moment later a white shadow darted into the smoke and left while carrying Tan Kuan's body.
The four people who were surprised by the smoke attack they thought was poisonous, stayed away from the smoke. And they were late when the white shadow, had gone to take Tan Kuan's body.
“Not to be pursued, That person will not survive my Poison. Let's make sure first if Nobles Zhu Han and his wife have been killed.” Gao Yu said as he stepped closer to Zhu Han's corpse.
Using his feet, Gao Yu turned Zhu Han's body upside down. Then he darted into the room to look for the Noble Wife of Shinzu City.
Moments later he came out with a face very angry because he did not find the figure of the noble Wife.
“It looks like this noble wife is not at home, we just wait for her to come home while waiting for Mr. An He and Mr. Yin Lu to come.” Gao Yu said as he sat on the chair where Zhu Han and the others were sitting.
“Brother Yu, Shouldn't we go after the figure who brought the man?” Huang Du asked Gao Yu.
“No need .. The man will die. And the body of the figure dressed in white was very high, we should save energy in us.”
Gao Yu replied casually as he sipped the small urn that still contained tea and drank it to the end.
Sometime later, Nobles An He and Yin Lu came with Yin Hu and the oldest Swordsman Huang, Huang Jin.
The blood-thirsty scent of the corpse of the Thousand Face Swordsman and Zhu Han, immediately made the two nobles cover their noses while examining Zhu Han's corpse.
“Finally this good-natured nobleman was killed too, but where was his wife's corpse?” Ask Nobles An He who knows who.
“You must immediately search for it, it is dangerous if it is still alive. We killed the City Governor and two generals. This city is now in our power.” Nobles Yin Lu laughed happily after saying so.
The four people, immediately shot out in four different directions. Three of them returned without success.
While Gao Yu returned after the night changed, He explained that He had information about the train heading north.
He chased after the chariot and found the noble wife whom he had killed with a bodyguard fighting him with a strange long sword. Both of them fell into the abyss with stab wounds on their chests.
“That Swordsman of Taiyang, then Zhu Han and his Wife have been killed. You better burn this noble residence as a sign of his power has collapsed.” Noble An He said with a voice and a joyful looking face.

Tan Kuan ends the story, and introduces the woman who helped him as Yu Mei, the granddaughter of his teacher, the Silver Hand.
Yu Mei who came to Shinzu city because she heard about the swordsman who had the same style as her Grandmother. When He was looking for him, He heard the sound of the fight and saw it.
From the style used by Tan Kuan and also the hands that can turn silvery, Yu Mei finally believes that Tan Kuan is a student of her Grandmother.
He immediately helped Tan Kuan when the man who was the same age as himself, fell and would be finished off by one of his opponents.
At midnight, Yu Mei and a few young men returned to the place and buried the two corpses. By morning, they had finished their activities.
Zhu San's face looked extremely furious after hearing this. He asked if his mother was alive or not.
“Regarding that I cannot be sure, I hope that they can be safe until they arrive to Baixan City.”
Tan Kuan replied in a voice that sounded sad, considering that his teacher had been killed. He looked at Zhu San intently, as if he were weighing something to say.
But remembering the message of his first teacher, he decided to be silent, choosing to carry out his own plan.
“Are they currently still in Uncle Shinzu City?” Ask Zhu San.
“The information I received, only Huang Du is at City Hall at the moment, while his sister and brother have returned to Dongyin City escorting Nobles Yin Lu and his Son. Likewise Two Butchers of Satan.” Answer Tan Kuan.
“Uncle Ruo, let's go to the city hall, I want to meet Huang Du's swordsman,” Zhu San said so with a trembling voice holding in anger.
“Be careful San’er .. “ That's all Tan Kuan can say.
He found out that Swordsman Huang was not Zhu San's opponent. And he knew Zhu San wanted revenge for his father's death. At least that was the situation that the special-bodied young man knew.
“I'm sorry I San’er .. I can say everything but not the truth.” Tan Kuan let out a long sigh after Song Ruo and Zhu San's bodies disappeared from his sight.
