The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 34 - Old History
Since leaving her home Xin Chen knew there was no longer a safe place for herself, not always she could stay there with her family. Xin Chen therefore ventured, perhaps for an undetermined time. The mission trip with the Lightning Fox this time seems to be taking a long time.
The bridge started to look at the tip of the eye so Xin Chen accelerated his pace, seeing the Thunder Fox had now been waiting for him alone there.
The fox's body turned around as it sensed someone approaching, it looked at Xin Chen from top to bottom.
"Are you ready to go?"
"Yes, I'm ready. Guru."
Like something was wrong The Lightning Fox turned its attention elsewhere, the sharp nose of the Lightning Fox could feel something coming with Xin Chen to this place.
"No need to hide so, show yourself old wolf!"
"Grrhh!" Lang leapt high to their place, Xin Chen shuddered in horror as he saw the huge body shadow the wolf was about to hit him. He shifted from his place as fast as lightning.
"Who do you call an old wolf?" his growl was a little threatening, his golden eyeballs sparkling with the morning sun. Although it looks beautiful but when seen when he is angry, Lang's eyes are more terrible than seeing angry mothers.
"Ha-ha-ha, you old wolf, still won't confess either." The lightning fox laughed widely. "You followed us from the beginning, didn't you?"
Lang snorted in annoyance, even though he had hidden himself as best he could but the Thunder Fox still knew of his whereabouts. Only Xin Chen really did not know about this.
"Whatever you say, I came here–"
"Because you want to come? Ha-ha-ha!" The lightning fox laughed crisply again and again, thrilled to have Lang's forehead wrinkling like it is now. "Unfortunately my students don't need your help. Lang, there are many other things you can do. At least follow your real employer."
Lang's heart was heavy as he answered the fox's words, "I don't think he needs me either."
"He needs you, Lang. I've always relied on you, only now he doesn't want to make your wounds worse." Xin Chen calmed the wolf down while pointing towards Lang's stomach using his chin. That deep incision scar happened two years ago during a battle against the dark agency of another Empire. He fought alongside the soldiers without any master.
Because that's what makes Lang feel he's starting to be unneeded, just complete missions with other fighters.
"I appreciate your kindness, Lang... But I can't let you come either, I'm sure I'll need you."
Lang looked away, "Who would want to come with you?"
The fox covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes almost invisible again due to the preoccupation of laughing. "It's like looking at a scene of a little boy wanting to go with his mother to the market, ha-ha-ha!"
"Heaamm!"
Xin Chen did not understand why these two demons were so happy to make a fuss, he grinned with a stupid face.
Before long Lang took out a headband from the bag that circled his body, bearing the Number One that had been a legend for many years. Many great warriors tried to remove this headband from its owner and from the hundreds of people it never worked.
"That's this head..."
"In the headband it is a symbol of trust, self-esteem and honor. Never sacrifice it when you're scared. That's what your father told me when he gave it to me."
"Dad..." Xin Chen received the headband, while his mind was fixed elsewhere.
"And take this bag."
Xin Chen glared at Lang, the wolf handed him the bag he carried with him at all times, despite the look of sadness in his eyes.
"Thank you, Lang." Xin Chen wore the bag happily, unlike the Lightning Fox, it seemed that he was still happy to make fun of Lang.
"Hoho... Because you're old you don't want to be adventuring anymore, you little wolf. It's also good that you, a self-knowing old man, realize you're too old to wander like you used to."
"Grrhhh this fucking fox dariitadi mocked me!" Lang was getting ready to pounce, he had been trying to restrain himself since he knew the power of the Lightning Fox ten times above him. But this time in his big name as a Wolves Wanderer, Lang would not want his exorbitant pride to be trampled by the Thunder Fox.
"Chen, run! A taboo! The old man is already angry, ha-ha-ha!" The Lightning Fox drew Xin Chen's hand as quickly as possible and simply disappeared within the jungle. It makes the wolf want to curse.
"That Lightning!! Watch out!"
**
The Lightning Fox stopped its running pace as they passed through the bamboo forest, there were traces of wax melts around the place that still looked new. Maybe last night someone put a candle in that place. Whether it's for the show or something else.
Feeling that there was a fitting place to rest the Thunder Fox chose to pause for a moment, during which Xin Chen began to study the books he had brought from the space ring.
"Xin Chen, where did you put your mask?" the Lightning Fox's eyes watched Xin Chen very closely, not finding the item he mentioned earlier.
"Ah, that. I hid it in the space ring." Xin Chen had just remembered it, he took out the thing hurriedly. "This. What's it for?"
"We have to talk about something with the occupants of this mask." The Lightning Fox quickly picked it up, waiting for the female spirit to appear. The few seconds he waited turned himself up, evaporating wide.
"Swarm parts like this disturb my sleep, what business is it?"
The fox said, "This is about the Steel Phoenix you said it was. May I know what that thing is?"
"Phoenix Steel, yes..." The spirit seemed to remember first. Three seconds later, a snap of his finger sounded, as if he had just received a hint.
"Do you want to hear a long or short story?"
"The short?" Xin Chen proposed.
"The Phoenix King is a symbol of honor." The spirit stopped talking, making the Lightning Fox and Xin Chen stare at each other.
"Long version?"
"The King of the Phoenix is the epitome of virtue, the form of honor and the meaning of wisdom."
"Can't it be shortened to the important thing?" The Lightning Fox interrupted, "We don't have all day to hear you."
"Well, I'll just go back to sleep!" The previously excited spirit's face turned irritated, he displayed his regretful attitude excessively.
"Alright we'll hear it, tell me about Steel Phoenix."
"Hem... Steel Phoenix, Book of Seven Keys, Sword of the Celestial Emperor was the form of a leader figure. Han Zilong called him the God of Justice while the other weapon he created was the form of the Demon God."
The Lightning Fox whispered to Xin Chen, "He actually told her at length. It's your fault."
"Can't you say anything important?"
"You want him to be angry?"
