The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 257 - Sword Rhythm
"There's no safer place for a killer like me than here. Sorry, but we're enemies. I can't accept your offer, you're just a stranger. I can't trust people like you."
Seeing this killer potential was quite great, Xin Chen could not just ignore it. He was part of another empire. However, the man was the same as the usual man. They will only kill if they are told to kill. And what's more, the current ten-unit one seat is empty.
"Said the enemy is not. I'm the ones from the Four Surveillance Units as well, can't believe it?"
The assassin retreated as he instantly knew where Xin Chen was talking to, the second he realized who he was fighting right now, the second Xin Chen approached.
"You must have underestimated me."
"Oh, you like flipping words, I like that. But ... Really, it's you? I mean you're too young to kill nearly a thousand of us. That's very hard to believe ... What else, four core units, did you kill them all? Really, I can't believe the news in any way. Even if you're the government guy who told me."
At a glance the assassin took a breath, "I know very well how powerful they are. And it's not all something you can handle alone."
His eyes opened wide, he began to surmise about something else that allowed the young man to kill. "Don't you be a real spirit user? You, I mean, you can kill them with that power and still be alive?"
"More or less so." Xin Chen raised his hand, a bunch of spirit power fused together and formed a human form that was very recognizable to the man. The spirit belonged to the previous leader of the Four Surveillance Units.
"It's really crazy. The other Spirit Users survive and you could be even more terrifying than Zhang Ziyi. I don't know what would happen if the people on my land heard about you. You're obviously very dangerous."
"Do you intend to tell them?"
There was a moment's pause, the man's face turned worried. "Huh, just crazy. Not luckily for me, I've lived a long time just to be their game doll." Then looked her eyes back at Xin Chen, "I can't believe I'm going to tell you. And until a human being has no body like you, what dream did I have last night? Shit, I have no choice but to join. It could be that one day a war will break out and I will have to face a nightmare like you."
"The right choice. Actually not joining me is also okay, I am also lazy to take you to the Valley of the Gods."
The man was stupefied, his face turning sour but protesting nothing.
"My name is Ru Yaoxi. Sorry for introducing myself." He lowered his head briefly, looked at Xin Chen still with a face of disbelief. Even a spirit controller was so master of sword techniques. Ru Yaoxi's entire life had already devoted herself to the sword. He never let go of that weapon and always took it everywhere.
With his shrewdness fighting in the dark, Ru Yaoxi often gets missions for secret assassinations. Several times he exterminated one noble clan in the Qing Empire and also finished off a small to large group in an attack at night. Undeniably, in his hands more than hundreds of lives died.
And with a reputation as an assassin, Ru Yaoxi was forced to move around. He was targeted by many warriors, including those who wanted to avenge the death of their families due to him. And it all brought Ru Yaoxi to the Shang Empire where in this place she was not recognized by anyone.
Not even his wife and son knew that Ru Yaoxi used to be a serial killer who was targeted like a top-class criminal. All they knew was that Ru Yaoxi only worked in a noble house and became a servant. The fact of his work as a member in the assassin group of the Four Surveillance Units was never known to anyone.
"Sir, what exactly are you looking for here? You don't seem to just finish us off?"
Xin Chen did not answer anything and only focused on the reading in the letter. He brought the scroll close to the small candle, reading each sentence one by one. The letter only contains about the expenses and news of their group in various branches. There is nothing to be had but unimportant things.
Xin Chen raised his face, seeing Ru Yaoxi was observing him confused.
"Did you guys communicate with your group in the Qing Empire a lot?"
"H-huh? That one I don't know anything about. Only the author of the letter knows."
"Where is he?"
"They're one of the three old men you killed earlier."
"Is there no other information?"
Ru Yaoxi folded both hands in front of her chest, not understanding what Xin Chen wanted.
"Tell me what you're looking for."
"Information on the existence of the Demon Sword."
Ru Yaoxi's eyes opened at a glance, she approached slowly towards Xin Chen. Slightly whispered, "Do you intend to take it back from that man's hands?"
"That guy?"
"It's obvious, isn't it? Qin Yijun's! He's the craziest man I've ever known."
Ru Yaoxi could not say it clearly but she understood very well what they were talking about. About Qin Yijun who now has almost half the power in the Qing Empire. No one can escape that reality anymore. That Qin Yijun was already at the top peak that rivaled the Ten Strongest; the warriors of the Emperor's bodyguards were incomparable.
Emperor Yin placed more trust in Qin Yijun after what he had done over the past few years. It was evident by the position of the Qing Empire which was at the highest peak among the other two Empires. And now they are feared by both parties.
"You won't be able to fight that guy. Before you can touch it hundreds of thousands of soldiers will beat you first. Have you heard, right with what happened to Lan An's First Pillar? How is his fate now ... I don't know, which is obvious if he comes there one more time. His life must have been floating right away. Moreover, if the remaining child of the Xin clan was reckless to fight. This empire will be destroyed soon."
