The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 75 - Issues of War
While Gu Long managed to master the situation back. He stomped on Jin Sakai's feet until the man fell to his knees before him. With a sword-eye perched at the end of Jin Sakai's chin, ready to stab his neck shaft whenever he wants.
"Now I'm giving you one offer..." Gu Long drew a sly smile, without releasing his sword from Jin Sakai. "I will forgive your life and your family. But on condition, you take the boy's head? Hows it? Good offer, right?"
Gu Long laughed loudly when he saw Jin Sakai's face, completely helpless before him.
"You see, as Xin Chen said. You failed to become a fighter. People only fear you, not their respect and trust. Until one day you're weakened, I'm sure those people will turn around to attack you."
Gu Long seemed to be indifferent to what Jin Sakai said, he shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "Talking about failure. Don't you understand better? Failed to become a samurai until it ended in this country?"
Jin Sakai did not argue anymore, it was true so the reality.
"Cubine you offer once again. Kill him and I'll let you go."
"Kill me."
"Hard-headed too." Gu Long scoffed, "Then there's no need to cut off your hand. I'll cut your neck!"
Jin Sakai closed his eyes, glimpsing the pointy look of the sword being raised ready to split his head. This death will definitely leave Youji and his wife devastated. But at least in those seconds Jin Sakai can smile, he dies in a fight. It was such an honor for him.
Youji screamed hysterically, unable to see his father's head cut off by Gu Long's sword. A few Gold Wasp Hill disciples held back their steps, making the young man fall to the ground, witnessing his father's obvious death in plain sight.
"Death!"
Everyone could only close their eyes, unwilling to witness the beheading. Until they were startled by a bolt of lightning from above the sky, nature began to rampage showing its rage.
"Tell it to yourself!"
A lightning bolt shattered the area where Gu Long stood, pounding loudly like a bomb blast. The man's body was covered in smoke and street dust created by the phenomenon. If you call it a coincidence, this event happened so suddenly. Gu Long was struck by such a high-powered lightning that he could no longer open his mouth.
The man was still half-conscious, he could see Xin Chen using the tail of his eyes. Feeling disbelief at the same time. How could Xin Chen possibly wake up from his stupor and in the moment he shouted anyway, a thunderous roar shook the Runaway Village.
Gu Long began to be able to control his own body, he expended resources to recover his body state. There was a hint of condemnation from his mouth as he looked at Xin Chen.
Xin Chen's fingers moved, regardless of the effects of the poison with such a fast time required great strength. He relied on all his strength to stand up. And now because he released too much strength, his legs also limp.
"Without even the Blood Ghost Mask, I still have 1001 ways to chop off your head!"
Xin Chen raised the sword parallel above his head, bringing an electric current coming to the tip of the Steel Phoenix sword, electrifying the surrounding community and now Gu Long was holding his own breath.
When Xin Chen unleashed the attack the man had first moved from his place, with the rest of his strength trying to break away. I don't understand anymore what's going on right now. All the man knew for sure, now he had to dodge Xin Chen no matter how.
Until finally Gu Long was in a cornered situation, his breathing sounded messy as a result of enduring the pain and burning wounds from Xin Chen's fire lightning attack. Now he regretted his words a little at the beginning, completely distrustful of what he was facing now.
A useless boy who only embarrassed his father figure managed to make Gu Long fall helpless, the man's eyeballs gradually looked up at him. Where Xin Chen came with a body filled with chains of lightning surrounded his body.
Not making much noise, Xin Chen again used the Steel Phoenix Sword which could hold his entire strength well. He prepared to chop off the man's head before a voice stopped his hand.
"Please stop first, Xin Chen!" shouted a woman struggling, from the voice of the woman was out of breath to gasp.
Xin Chen turned his attention, but in that instant Gu Long instantly fled. He took a quick step then ran very fast away from the village.
Wei Feng blocked the man's path, making Gu Long unable to break through and was about to dodge, not having any chance of escape he held hostage whoever was beside him, namely Youji.
Youji's eyes widened as a sharp weapon was placed near his neck, barely slashing his skin at that moment.
Gu Long breathed heavily, as Wei Feng approached he faced the man on alert. His sword was full of threat. "Dare to walk as long as this child will be his victim!"
Xin Chen sneered, if the woman had not stopped him it would have been sure Gu Long died on the spot. The woman was Xiu Juan, the fifth Imperial Pillar figure still serving the country. His position as the third Imperial Pillar had shifted as it was indeed lately that he rarely intervened in exterminating the villains in the Shang Empire.
Xiu Juan was right by Xin Chen's side, checking the surroundings and watching for a while. His wry eyes fell on Gu Long, "Senior Gu, we received a report from the government for the destruction in the forest you burned last week. According to reports there are no murder cases caused by the demons unless your sect wants to profit from the proceeds of selling them..."
"Hahahaha," Gu Long laughed loudly. "You don't know. Now is the time to take or take. Those demons will be taken by the enemy as well in the end!"
"Whose enemy do you say?"
"You don't know that? How innocent of you, I think this kind of inner trouble is only known to crafty people like us..." Gu Long tightened his grip on Youji's neck. "They've all come secretly, destroying this Empire not from its heart first. But from all sides to the end without you noticing, the ground you were treading now will become a pool of blood.."
"Omong empty, if you want to brag please do it in the dungeon only later."
Xin Chen turned to his side, "You want to imprison him?"
"Not only imprison him but the problems of this sect will be taken more seriously. Take it easy, we'll-"
"Don't expect to catch me!" Gu Long suddenly reacted brutally, the man was about to scratch Youji's neck with a sharp sword blade. The panic started to re-peak.
