The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 273 - YuangXe Secret
"Show me how the techniques taught by the Demon Sword."
"Only will I show you if you tell me where the War God Armor is."
The ghost of YuangXe laughed, "Oh? You hunted that too? A ridiculous action. You'll just die for nothing there. They are all anti-spirit groups. And you're the one who's the most watched, they're preparing before you come. From far away."
"Because of the person you called Master Yuhao?"
"Not, because—" His words were instantly truncated.
The ghost from YuangXe was as if being controlled by something, his gloomy look became a demon. His eyes were sharply staring at Xin Chen who was now paying attention to the peculiarity of the man's behavior. Without saying anything else he attacked blindly. His slash knocked down the tall trees, causing a great tremor as the tree fell down.
The ghost from YuangXe was just staring blankly, that blank look as if it was not filled with souls. He puts in an attack when the opponent is off guard, parried and re-talked. But this time Xin Chen did not give his opponent time to think. Aggressive attacks from both camps damaged the wilderness, The ghost from YuangXe jumped on a tall tree branch. Caught Xin Chen's body and tied him up with his hands from behind. Intending to plop down with the young man to the ground with his head facing down.
Just as their heads were about to hit the ground Xin Chen eliminated himself, making his opponent look around.
The ghost of YuangXe who was full of tactics and cheat techniques made him deserve to be called a hard opponent. It was not once that he had met such an enemy twice, it was just that this Ghost from YuangXe was a senior assassin who had been diving into the slaughter of human beings for decades. It clearly made the difference even further between the two of them.
"I can cheat for you."
"I've been looking forward to it since the beginning. Even more so with your father's killer technique. I know you're holding back for fear that I'm imitating her, right?"
"You won't be able to imitate it."
The ghost from YuangXe laughed out loud, it seemed that Xin Chen underestimated him too much. He was a swordsman who even learned one skill overnight. It is no longer difficult to imitate a technique that is only shown once.
"I've been a swordsman for decades, young man. I'm much more senior than you. You take me too lightly. I'll have it any way."
"Before you see that technique, I'll make sure you die first."
"Oh, hahahha. I love that spirit." The slanted smile on his face was mocking, but the expression suddenly disappeared when a strong wind came. He was unable to ascertain what was going on, but his movements slowly slowed down until his consciousness finally weakened.
Xin Chen had briefly studied how Yuhao controlled his spirit to mess with other people's minds. Utilizing the assault on one's soul to take over his consciousness. The ghost of YuangXe broke away, Xin Chen tried three times until the man finally stopped moving.
With the chance of those few seconds that Xin Chen snatched the three swords in the opponent's hand, the man turned his back realizing the three swords were no longer in his hand. His red eyes rolled towards Xin Chen's hand.
"It's a spirit— weapon"
It disappeared into the ring of storage space.
"What did you keep it for!?"
"Oh, it must be expensive. Good to sell." The young man's response made the veins on his neck almost break.
"Return! It was a gift from my ancestors!"
"Your ancestors? That means Yuhao is not the only reason why you can communicate. Or maybe grandma is a part of you?"
Xin Chen was about to change the direction of the road when suddenly a strange chant buzzed around them that was overgrown by bamboo groves. There was someone singing in that strange voice, more like a long spell that disturbed the mind.
Xin Chen took out his flute, interrupting the rhythm with the tone of the Deathly Rhythm. Suddenly the all-clothed figure was suffocating on the spot. He started to waver on his footing. While the Ghost from YuangXe was about to help her before the soul of the person was snatched away by Xin Chen.
"What are you doing? We didn't even kill a single one of your men!" The man's tone was high, the meaning of solidarity in the land of YuangXe exceeded his own familial ties. If one of them is sick then everyone will be equally hurt.
"You didn't kill? So those spirits that Yuhao gathered were?"
"You kill each other just because of an heirloom. And of all the traps prepared, none really killed. Our elders used that way because they knew that if the YuangXe people who intervened ended your history."
"I understand."
The ghost from YuangXe was almost in disbelief at what had just come out of Xin Chen's mouth.
"You're that easy to believe in me?"
"It doesn't mean I trust you. But I know you're honest people. There is something entrusted to you that you must build a high fortress, you close yourself to guard something that the Emperor entrusted hundreds of years ago."
The person from YuangXe in the hands of the man regained his consciousness, addressing their enemies who were just unmoved on the spot. Ghosts of YuangXe cannot fight by carrying people like him, but despite knowing that their enemies do not attack.
"Did you believe me if I told you that the village massacre wasn't because I wanted to?"
"Then?"
"They stole the box."
"You have proof? If at any time the Shang Empire reconciles with YuangXe it is likely that your head will be sought and beheaded on death row. There's no tolerance for that."
The man looked like a man in general, the news about him was indeed true. Killing many people with hands that had already been drenched in blood, there were so many sins that were borne.
"The deposit ... Is it incriminating for all of you?"
"I lost my brothers ..." His tone softened, not as hard as before.
"Your former strength may be able to protect it. But right now all the Empire knows what you're hiding."
"Wantas? We have to run away like cowards?" He was seriously offended. "This land is the only one that the Emperor gave. Our children will continue to live here, even if his father dies in battle field—"
Xin Chen began to understand how the situation was in this place, although not all of it. He took out some heavenly heirlooms that he had kept well all this time.
"There are six more such heavenly heirlooms. I've looked after him these seven years, as the child of the Demon Sword using him for something wrong would only tarnish his name. You know that better than I do."
The ghost from YuangXe glimpsed at him with hope until finally from the south the previous great power came back after Xin Chen.
"I won't let you poison my brother with your words!"
