The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 109 - Hunters Coming!
It was fortunate that Xin Chen swiftly received the attack and retreated quickly by several meters. He jumped up and made the tree trunk a foothold. Xin Chen's body spun violently and in the next second, the Lightning Sword had prepared to pierce through the head of the Fire Hedgehog.
The demon certainly noticed the distress was lurking as Xin Chen directed the Lightning Sword towards him, he immediately took cover by using the thorns on his body. It did not stop Xin Chen at all, he still continued the attack without caring that the spines of the Fire Hedge would pierce his limbs if he forced.
The Fire Hedgehog was hit by the Lightning Sword incision completely, just like Xin Chen who was pierced by as many as six thorns belonging to his opponent. It caused Xin Chen's hands to be hard to move, and slowly his body gained such a powerful impact. The Fire Hedgehog stopped the fight all of a sudden. In that position, he could see Xin Chen fall to his knees.
"I admit my defeat. We better not keep fighting this fight." The Fire Hedgehog spoke.
"Huh? You almost won, Fire Hedgehog." The Frog Leaves cleared up the confusion, among Xin Chen and the Fire Hedgehog was indeed a much worse situation was Xin Chen. His body was severely injured by the fight and a pool of blood had flowed under his feet.
But the one thing that made Frog Leaf in disbelief was that Xin Chen could even still stand with such a severe wound.
"You saw it, didn't you?" The Fire Hedgehog stared at the Frog Leaf after noticing the change in expression.
"I won't be able to fight a mad fighter like him, he will even attack even if my thorns will penetrate his heart. And vice versa..." The Fire Hedgehog examined his head carefully.
"I almost died earlier, the lightning pierced through my head bone and made my stealth gem crack inside," the Fire Hedgehog explained later. He said it truthfully because it seemed the Toad Leaf would underestimate its power if it did not explain that its life was almost made to be dying.
But suddenly something bad happened, unexpectedly a large explosion burned the entire forest and caused the wooden branch to be engulfed by the fire quickly. This sudden attack made the Fire Porcupine instantly take a step, "Hunters are coming! Hunters coming! Hiding out!"
"Damn, why do they come at times like these?"
"What's that about?" xin Chen asked as he tried to stand up, after hearing the explosion, he realized that the hunters referred to as Fire Hedgehogs were warriors who were eyeing stealth gems to be used as tools to strengthen their weapons or to be used as medicine.
"I'm usually the one who'll protect this forest if those hunters come, unfortunately..." The Frog Leaves revealed a long incision wound that encircled his upper body. "If I try to fight back, I'll just die without stopping them."
The Frog Leaf turned towards the Lightning Fox, "Can you help us?"
The fox shook his head slowly, he explained the intent of why he really couldn't help in this situation. "The large number of them worries me, if they only give me five percent of my power they will not all die. More than that, it is likely that the humans out there can sniff out the existence of the Earth Ruling Demon here and will definitely be eyeing me. You know that well, right? Taking out a power like this is very dangerous for me, it could be that the Dark Demon noticed it and ended my life here."
The Leaf Frog certainly knows the problem of the Dark Demon because indeed the Lightning Fox once told it. When he heard this, he looked very desperate.
"I'm afraid he'll die."
"He's not gonna die, trust me."
After that the Lightning Fox did not explain his words earlier, making the Leaf Frog confused and could only guess what the meaning of his friend was.
"Chen, solve this problem with your hands. Think of it as a test before you can learn the Lightning Rain technique." The fox spoke rather loudly because indeed his voice was not too audible by the crackling sound caused by the twig that was eaten by fire.
Xin Chen turned his head slightly, the Lightning Fox spoke again. "And if you can finish it without letting a single one escape I'll teach you the Heaven's Punishment technique" he said. Xin Chen's spirit seemed to burn when he heard the name of the technique. The Heaven Punishment did not seem to be an arbitrary move, in Xin Chen's head perhaps that technique was one of the mainstay moves that the Lightning Fox often wore.
"alright... Sit there sweet, I'll clean this place up as soon as I can!"
"Hahahaha I love the spirit of young people's souls." Frog Leaf laughed out loud, she coughed in pain as the incision wound on her body again throbbed painfully. The wound he got was indeed caused by a fight against hunters who came to this wilderness last time.
Actually the forest they live in is rarely passed by humans, but lately the existence of the demons here began to be known and several times suffered successive attacks. What usually attacks them are black warriors, they come in groups and also carry weapons such as bombs and fire arrows.
The last time the life of the Frog Leaves was made dying and if that day the Fire Hedgehog did not help him it was most likely that he would die.
In the eyes of the Lightning Fox itself, attacks like this have actually been experienced many times, even he felt it far more often than not. Not without reason, as Demon Rulers of the Earth it was not easy to hide the air of their existence. If they overexert power then humans will immediately come in turns to deliver their lives to him. For the sake of trying their luck to get a powerful stealth gem they often do not care about the safety of life anymore.
So it was no longer a strange thing in the Shang Empire one of the places that had the most evil energy was the Fog Forest, in that place over ten thousand lives had died horribly at the hands of the Lightning Fox.
And unexpectedly from now on also the Lightning Fox had to leave the safest place, even though its power was said to be very strong but of course it had conditions if it wanted to use it. The Lightning Fox would never use its power if indeed the strength level of its enemy was still below it. The last time he used his full strength was against the Ice Dragon and unexpectedly that day he felt his bitter defeat.
As the Lightning Fox was recalling its past, it unwittingly turned dim the originally clear sky. Along with the arrival of dozens of foot clattering sounds that were very close and thunderous booms that seemed to rampage right above their heads. The look on the face of the originally calm Lightning Fox turned frantic.
"Chen, what are you doing?!"
