The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 80 - The Rise of Fireflowers
"Fight me if you can!" The Lightning Fox advanced to protect Ye Long, either the dragon knew how to restore Xin Chen's spirit that had separated from his body. The Lightning Fox did not know either. All he did was guard the dragon to help save Xin Chen.
The Fire Flower mark on Xin Chen's forehead lit up in the darkness of the night, as the little young man opened his eyes a red radiant light also appeared. Ye Long managed to save his spiritual awareness which Zhang Ziyi's spirit had absorbed.
Xin Chen was startled when he realized Ye Long was using fire from his mouth to provoke the Fire Flower mark to appear. A form of Xin Chen's own subconscious. When his spirit was snatched away by the spirits, the Fire Flower worked by itself. Save the owner's soul and lock it in the subconscious.
Ye Long burned the spirit hole that absorbed Xin Chen's soul below several times until Zhang Ziyi's strength was interrupted even if it was only a split second.
The Lightning Fox can breathe a sigh of relief, "I should have heard from Lang a lot that pets like you do understand your master better than themselves."
Before long Ye Long hissed fiercely towards Zhang Ziyi, flapping his wings and flying at high speed up into the sky, piercing through the dark clouds like sharp darting arrows.
It produced a loud sound due to the air rubbing against its scaly black body like lightning. On one side Xin Chen took a breath, able to feel his own body after previously losing control.
In that moment there was a whistling sound from Xin Chen's mouth, making Zhang Ziyi subconsciously curse. It was the sound of the Deathly Rhythm, a technique used from the Qing Empire to extinguish souls. Not only humans, spirits, demons and anything that moves based on consciousness will be affected by this rhythm.
Just by whistling alone, if its user had perfect mastery people could be killed without moving from their place. Died under the most mysterious circumstances.
"For this I must kill you. You'll be my natural competitor before I can control all the humans in the world."
"Covering the world, you say?" The Lightning Fox whispered, "Just do it in your dreamland."
"Hm... It seems like this fox is no longer holding back? Wh why? You're not afraid of humans realizing your presence?"
"If this were to stop a great villain like you I wouldn't hesitate."
Lightning birds shouted as if splitting the sky, black mist coming over as time passed. As the Lightning Fox was intending to make rain with its might, Zhang Ziyi first issued a threat.
"You sure you want to make it rain? If it rains, the clouds that circle the moon will disappear. And I'll just tell you..." A sly smile was depicted on his terrifying face. "The spirits of the villagers are under my control. If you thwart it, all those souls are more quickly separated from their bodies."
The Lightning Fox growled in annoyance. "Sliced you, fucking man."
"And you demons, spirits or animals will only be slaves of men. He was ordered without complaining... Hahahaha this is laughable, the friendship between humans and demons?" Zhang Ziyi was as if pointing at Xin Chen and the Black Dragon with the tail of his eyes. "One day I will make your disgusting friendship fall apart, the Shang Empire will be mine."
"Hahahaha," Wei Feng's laughter suddenly sounded, Zhang Ziyi raising her eyeballs. Convinced the man was also affected by the Spirit Controlling Force.
Zhang Ziyi's face reddened in wrath, he disappeared in midair and appeared just like that in front of Wei Feng. Clutching the man's jaw until it felt like it was cracking, Wei Feng did not budge. It seemed like the man was laughing, unable to hide the mocking laugh even though Zhang Ziyi was right in front of his face.
"Seeing the weak, choosing to kill the ants rather than the hungry lions in hell there. I thought if you were just a coward. It's funny, like you said."
Zhang Ziyi tightened his grip until Wei Feng could no longer say, the man flicked his right hand to bring out a sword full of black aura. "People like you should be dead."
Before Zhang Ziyi killed Wei Feng, something was going on behind him. The Lightning Fox's eyes continued to scan Xin Chen meticulously. The whistling from his mouth invited the spirits belonging to Zhang Ziyi, although only a portion of them remained following Xin Chen's will through the rhythms he made.
"Chen, are you sure you want to fight that guy?" suddenly the Lightning Fox said so, defeating an impenetrable and near-influenced enemy was impossible for Xin Chen. although he still had a chance of winning using the Death Rhythm.
Xin Chen turned his head towards the Thunder Fox before going to save Wei Feng, "My father once said, in his entire life he had already died twice. At first I thought it was impossible especially if I did it myself. But today I totally understand. I've even felt death more than a hundred times, and not actually die. Even though my spirit was taken. The afterlife may be the only thing I will never see forever."
The Lightning Fox was stunned until Xin Chen finally disappeared in the blink of an eye. There's no reason to worry about him. Seeing with a high-level black magic skill alone could not make the child die, even by extinguishing his soul though, Xin Chen would remain immortal in this world.
"That means... Even when I die, you will walk in this world. When everything's gone, you–"
The Lightning Fox stared at Xin Chen who was preparing a surprise attack, "You will remain immortal in this world."
Xin Chen took out his weapon, the Steel Phoenix Sword prepared to stab Zhang Ziyi from behind. Aware someone was hunting him the man got rid of himself, making Xin Chen's surprise attack fail just like that.
"You know a sharp weapon won't have any effect on me?" Zhang Ziyi showed off a grinning smile, gripped the air and collected his life weapon; those human spirits attacked Xin Chen at high speed.
In a moment they would attack Xin Chen, a spirit protector was created and dispel the enemy's path. Making Zhang Ziyi's eyes buy wide.
"Me-they're all my spirits!"
"Yours? Why don't they obey you if it's true as you say?"
"Don't tell me you didn't just learn the basics of the Death Rhythm?" Zhang Ziyi tightened his two eyebrows suspiciously, the last time he saw Xin Chen secretly he saw him successfully learning the bottom of the Deathly Rhythm and had almost been caught by the Lightning Fox, it only took him a month, it only took him a month, Xin Chen again showed an unreasonable development.
"really? You don't seem to know the strains of Water Senandung that monks learn to weaken the spirits."
