The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 327 - Five Percent
Yu Xiong closed his eyes while shooting arrows in any direction. Due to the panic the youngster lost his balance, his body fell forward to override. The arrow in his hand was crushed to the point of breaking, Yu Xiong groaned in pain. He did not know what happened after that, only silence occurred.
Until finally the clattering of legs behind him began to sound, slowly approaching Yu Xiong who was now hot cold. He did not dare to move his head, he knew that death was already in front of his eyes. Because after all, the arrow he threw had missed and instead fell under Xin Chen's wooden board.
There was a loud sound of swords from behind, Yu Xiong closed his eyes tightly. His hand involuntarily clenched. Inwardly he began to count down, guessing when his head would be slashed. But those footsteps just passed. Leaving the already scared Yu Xiong half to death.
Yu Xiong began to dare to raise his face, for the sake of being able to see the soldier standing on his wooden board. He stayed there for quite a while, a few seconds after which he heard a heavy voice.
"Aren't you cheating?"
"Deception—what?" Made in surprise, Yu Xiong got up and approached the man. He did not dare to say anything when he saw the arrows that had come out of nowhere had stuck there. He turned his head slightly towards Xin Chen who had already left the arena. The place was already so quiet, the dim afternoon had changed into a dark night.
"I'm not cheating. Aren't you standing behind me and watching everything. You doubt your own eyes?"
"It's impossible to fire a target in such a position."
"Take my whole life's luck today."
"It's dark. We need to get ready!"
Another voice replied from a distance, the man noticed Yu Xiong once again. For the second time, he found a person who had great luck. Including the man who only shot with one hand earlier.
"You can go back to the dorm. The people there will take you."
"Thank you!"
Yu Xiong was running around unruffled, until the people who followed him behind were out of breath.
"I'm back!"
Yu Xiong opened the dormitory door wide with his joyful face. The guard in front of the dormitory until had to endure the irritation because the youngster had originally ambushed in.
"All who escaped have entered the room. You guys can rest. Wake up tomorrow when you hear"
The door had already closed, no one had paid so much attention to him speaking. Because Yu Xiong's voice made the eardrum rupture. "I'm the last man to survive!"
"Woah, you survived? Nice, nice. Though I had prepared words of sorrow when I met your mother."
Wei Feng interrupted no matter, Yu Xiong put on his stupid face while sitting in his place.
"I don't know how I shot an arrow when it fell. That must be really cool. I'm sure I can't sleep tonight!"
"Don't sleep. Keep your eyes open." Xin Chen chimed in, Yu Xiong laughed as he struck his arm. "Hahaha I was just kidding!"
"Nothing is impossible, Brother Wei!"
Wei Feng already knew without even anyone telling him. From the very beginning he knew Yu Xiong could not have survived except without the help of one of them. He knew Xin Chen was thinking hard from last night, to save his friends.
"I think getting here we'll just add to the burden of your mind." Wei Feng crossed his legs above the knees and fell asleep while staring at the ceiling. He's vaporizing wide. Xin Chen glanced at her, "Other times, you should do the same for her, Yu Xiong."
Yu Xiong pointed to himself, he did not understand what Wei Feng had said since earlier. His eyes turned to where Xin Chen was just silent, he studied it for a moment and guessed. "Sister Chen, are you thinking again?"
"Yes." Yeah." He just retaliates. Yu Xiong pondered the incident earlier. It can be said to be strange. Moreover, Xin Chen said momentum and did something silly in a hurry.
Yu Xiong recalled, on the board belonging to Xin Chen there were only two arrows stuck. And the other one wasn't there.
"Is one of your arrows in my place?"
"That's what I said earlier." Wei Feng replied first, "I was indeed unthinkable in the beginning, but when I came in here I just wanted to tell you. But it's too late."
"In another sense you shoot all three of your arrows at once? It's cooler, Brother Wei, you're even outmatched"
"I won't lose to sprouts like her." Wei Feng had intended to take Xin Chen in jest, but the young man's face had not seemed so pleasant since entering this place. Wei Feng shifted his body to get closer to the bed next to him.
"What's the problem?" He whispered a little. Although not too necessary because the sound around them is noisy. Everyone told me a lot about what they were going through, until someone showed how people were killed by the soldiers.
"The one who said watch over us. He is one of the spirit users."
"I don't understand what the problem is. But is it dangerous?" Xin Chen was silent for a moment before answering that question.
"It's very dangerous."
Xin Chen had yet to come face to face with a fellow spirit user, let alone if faced with a figure like Yuhao or another human who had the science of mind control like the Flame Salamender. He had to find a way to control this power. And the greatest possibility was that in the Qing Empire he would get the answers of all the questions in his head.
"Need to be killed?"
"I heard he was the right hand of the owner of this district. He can't just be removed. Worst chance that we'll all be killed without exception when he reveals our identities."
It was only fitting that Xin Chen looked so serious as everyone had fun celebrating their first victory. Wei Feng scratched his suddenly itchy face. He could only remain silent without words. Looking at Youji who had slept from exhaustion. Yu Xiong himself who had an easy nature to mingle told stories with other people.
"I'll just sleep then. We'll see the progress. If the threat is getting sharp, maybe we should pull out of here."
"It won't be." Xin Chen immediately denied it. "They know how to imprison an intruder. There is no main gate in this place. As well as very high wall walls and impossible to pass. You can only leave it by passing through the underground passage. And the chances of us surviving are only five percent."
