The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 24 - Battle II
The exercise with the Lightning Fox was far more dangerous than he used to do at home, even Xin Chen himself could barely breathe in order to dodge the three lightning tigers at once that attacked him.
There was no other way to train Xin Chen, according to the Thunder Foxes this kind of training was what Xin Chen actually had to go through. Moreover, he was certain that in a few days Xin Chen would have to fight desperately to get what he was looking for.
The sound of rustling leaves as a result of being swept away by the wind faintly started to sound, when Xin Chen opened his eyes he realized the day had already morning.
Xin Chen opened his eyes, not seeing the Lightning Fox anywhere. Hence he decided to wait for a while, perhaps the Lightning Fox was busy taking care of something.
"You awake?"
From a distance the Lightning Fox spoke, the fox returned with a forest chicken in his hand. Xin Chen nodded slowly while watching the chicken.
"Why not wake me up? Maybe I can help you catch that chicken."
"For the business of catching chickens I'm sure you can, but it takes a long time" said the Lightning Fox while creating embers using energy changes. In a short time, the chicken was roasted perfectly in front of him.
Xin Chen coughed watching it, that he who did it might take about two to three hours. He wasn't sure if the chicken was worth eating or not.
Xin Chen's stomach started to ring out in a rattles, as the Lightning Fox stared at him, the child just showed off a stupid smile. "I'm just starving, hehehe."
"Eat it, we must immediately proceed to Huaxi Village."
Xin Chen nodded as he took out a book from his spatial ring, making the Lightning Fox interested in the contents of the book.
"It's a book of science to lighten the body, maybe while running I can learn it."
The Lightning Fox smiled, it seemed that the child was starting to change his mind. "Good, you're starting to think about being strong."
Xin Chen turned to the Lightning Fox with next to his raised brows, "Ah that.... Right too, yeah." He continued back. "Previously if at home I wasn't this artist because Zhan Gege was there, there would be no way I could get past his strength."
The Lightning Fox understood a little of Xin Chen's situation, before how long he told Xin Chen to get ready to continue on the journey.
"I will be the next pillar of the Empire."
Some villages were just passed by, in a journey that took up to a full day that Xin Chen was just busy training his body lightening skills. He put in so much effort that even the Lightning Fox who was busy talking to him ignored him.
The Lightning Fox shook its head, inexhaustible with this Xin Chen. For some time he started thinking of stopping for a while especially after observing Xin Chen's face now, he looked extremely exhausted.
Xin Chen nodded his head, still busy studying the books in his hands. Starting from high-level breathing, water breathing and lightning steps. There are a lot of new things he found in the book.
Compared to books in the library, this book explains in more detail how to apply the science. Xin Chen did not obey what the Lightning Fox said. He chose to continue his training by practicing what he had learned.
"There are two more days before the poison kills my brother, Master, do you think we're close to the goal?" Xin Chen started a chatter suddenly waking up the Lightning Fox who was meditating.
Far away looked to some rather bright places, where the houses lined up neatly there the Thunder Fox showed there.
"I know that after passing through the village we will get to our destination, the border area of Shang and Qing Empire is on the outskirts of the village after that."
"Let's rest for a while, you won't know what kind of danger is going on with your life there."
The words of the Thunder Fox had a point as well, and like her Xin Chen had also started to fatigue. Too busy practicing made him forget to rest.
Xin Chen chose to lay his body near the tree, fold both hands as a pillow then prepare to fall asleep. But it is very difficult to close your eyes at the moment.
The day began late at night and Xin Chen remained awake from his sleep, before long there was a sound of foot clattering from a distance. He immediately hid behind a tree, staking out a horse carriage that was passing through the road to the village.
There was nothing strange from there, except one person with a black robe and a small carving on his left chest. Xin Chen was sure it was the people from the Valley of the Gods.
Since the train was running a bit slowly he had a chance to get closer, he walked slowly once. While preparing some weapons and pills from the space ring Xin Chen recklessly entered the carriage.
There was no easier way to infiltrate the Valley of the Gods except in this way, although it was dangerous and did not have time to tell the Lightning Fox Xin Chen still did it alone.
The cavalry stopped when a suspicious voice sounded from behind, taking advantage of the opportunity Xin Chen penetrated into the horse carriage using the Blood Ghost Mask.
How shocked Xin Chen was that the moment he found inside was a little boy who was almost the same age as him. Xin Chen moved nimbly, he smothered the child until he fainted.
"Young Master, are you okay?" Sahut a man outside, Xin Chen twisted a panicked look. He had to answer and tell them to continue on.
But it could potentially put him in danger, not thinking for long Xin Chen took out a bit of his hand from the window. Cue to move back.
The carriage back moved slowly, Xin Chen gulped as he rubbed his chest. A slight peek behind where the Lightning Fox was unaware of his disappearance. Xin Chen was worried that the Lightning Fox would scold him later.
On the way Xin Chen started to get anxious, several times the cloaked man outside invited him to speak.
Xin Chen twisted his brain, a glance of a ignorant smile plastered on the handsome face of the child. "Rather than me getting caught it's better to go undercover exactly like this..."
Xin Chen changed all of his clothes to those of the little ones inside this carriage, with this he did not need to hide anymore when he was seen by them. Xin Chen took out a pill from his pocket that he knew to be a sleeping pill. With the pill, the fainted child will not wake up for the next six hours.
"Young Master, I know this must be very disturbing to you. But regarding the failure of the Silver Pagoda Association's own party, do you think the Great Lord will be quiet about this?"
"Yes?" Xin Chen said, "Where's the failure? Didn't the mayor have handed over the artifact?' he answered the origin.
"Eh... Not that Master had seen it himself, the artifact had a strange translation, there was no clue as to the whereabouts of the Steel Phoenix."
From the conversation Xin Chen recalled that before he had told the spirit to change the contents of the message inside the artifact, Xin Chen himself did not know what was written in it.
"Ah, I forgot what the contents of the artifact are. Can you mention it again?"
The cloaked man outside covered his mouth, other than him and the Young Master no one read the contents of the artifact that contained such ridicule, 'Heii people are underworked'.
Instead of answering the man changed the subject. "Young Master, what's wrong with your voice? Sounds very different than usual?"
