The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 89 - Yin and Yang
"Well... If I had known from the beginning." regretfully disappointed, but the Lightning Fox did not seem to be so concerned about this.
"Your decision is not entirely wrong, because basically if left in the original form everyone will definitely fight over the Steel Phoenix."
"But still... If Han Zilong knew what I was doing to his weapon, he might get angry."
"Not going to."
"really?"
"Rather than scolding an unruly boy like you, he'd rather hang you in a tree." Xin Chen snorted softly at the answer.
During that moment when he saw a place overgrown by bamboo Xin Chen immediately ran over there and picked up some then asked the Lightning Fox to pause for a while, not far from him Xin Chen could see a clear river filled with the roots of a huge tree. Xin Chen sat on one of the tree trunks that grew to spread out over the shallow water.
"You want to learn that black-flow style?" The Lightning Fox jumped high up on the tree branch. He looked down at the place where Xin Chen was studying the scriptures given by the spirit of the Steel Phoenix denizens.
"No, it's just that I realized something. The intonations and tone passages from Senandung Air and the Rhythm of Death have some similarities."
"Then do you think this is just a coincidence or something related?" ask the Lightning Fox then.
"Basically calming and messing up are two completely opposite things. Like Yin and Yang. I still do not understand why Water Smile is almost similar to Death Rhythm and vice versa. The only one who can answer this question I guess is the Patriarch of the Lotus Temple sect."
After making a simple flute using bamboo Xin Chen started to blow it, slightly grimacing in pain when he heard the discordant sound coming out of the flute.
"Stop playing it if you're not good at it, Chen. You're just gonna bother that poor dragon." The Lightning Fox pointed towards Ye Long's pity. The dragon had indeed followed them since at the Runaway Village. And now he was deeply troubled by the sound of Xin Chen's flute.
"Ye Long, you must want to listen to her again, right? Near here, you must listen to this beautiful rhythm." Xin Chen asked but Ye Long flicked his tail to make some stones flung towards Xin Chen.
He parried the stone with a flute, knowing Ye Long didn't like it very much if he played the Deathly Rhythm.
"Compared to the beautiful rhythm is more like the sound of a pinched goat." The Lightning Fox snorted as it closed its eyes slowly, sitting balanced on a branch to meditate.
"Hm? The sound of a goat being pinched?" He swooped an offended eyebrow, feeling not too bad in playing the musical instrument Xin Chen tried to blow even harder.
"Groargh!" Ye Long roared hard to make Xin Chen stop the flute. "Is there something wrong with her voice?"
"That chaotic butterfly might be too sensitive if it sounded in the Black Dragon ears like it."
"yes too. His hearing is too sharp." Xin Chen said little, "By the way Fox Master, do you know anything about Ye Long? Why do I feel like he knows me?" That question suddenly came to Xin Chen's mind, from the beginning it was very unreasonable for Ye Long to come and did not bring out any murderous air at all to him. Even Ye Long protected him when attacked by Wei Feng who was then possessed by the spirits.
"And another thing that is still confusing, the Dragon knows about the Fire Flower and how to raise it. If you ask me, I honestly don't know about the dragon."
"Right as well," Xin Chen replied observing Ye Long long ago. The dragon was busy catching freshwater fish in the shallow stream of the river. The moment Xin Chen let out the sound of Ye Long's flute immediately went berserk loudly
"She has a family too, just like me. Maybe Ye Long was looking for his family and got lost on the way?"
"How do you think?" xin Chen asked again.
"The matter of the descendants of dragons like this you better ask their neighbors."
"Hahaha don't joke, there's no way I can find another dragon in this world other than Ye Long. Just looking at him I can hardly believe."
"Then I asked you, have you ever been rewarded with anything by your father?"
Hearing him Xin Chen thought for a moment, guessing somewhat answered him. "Maybe... Blue Gem of Light? Huh... I won't be able to sell the jewels, come home to be castrated by you later."
Ye Long went into the water until his spark gushed towards Xin Chen who again could only curse. Not yet he had been made soaked by the Black Dragon. While the Lightning Fox descended from the tree branch and approached Ye Long.
"The owner of the Blue Gems of Light is the Water Dragon. The only thing you can ask about the dragon, maybe he has the answer."
"Water Dragon? So he really exists...?"
"You don't believe it?"
"I believe it. But if I haven't seen it yet I still doubt."
"You better prepare yourself if you want to meet the Dragon."
"Well.... I can't imagine, I don't think I'll be able to go home for years on this trip." Xin Chen snorted small.
"I told you from the beginning, Chen." The Lightning Fox raised both of its hands, making the stream of river water filled with high electrical power. The fish from the river water floated on the water in a helpless state.
Ye Long slightly retreated from the electric water, only to see the Lightning Fox walking on the water to collect the fish it caught and thrust it at Ye Long so that he would burn it.
"You two are so compact." Xin Chen's response then, a month of living together in the forest of the Escape Village seemed to make the relationship of these two demons slightly better than before. Ye Long ate the fish he had burnt greedily and threw one of them towards Xin Chen.
Xin Chen caught him, surprised to feel his hand burning by the heat of the fish. Seeing Ye Long eating the still-hot fish so quickly made Xin Chen could only shake his head. They chose to spend the grilled fish without much talking.
Yet not so long ago Xin Chen sensed the air of other existences around him, just as the Lightning Fox had instantly stopped his movement.
"You can feel it too?"
"Hm, yes. They just seem to be passing by."
"Not that, but the strength of another piece of Phoenix Steel... I can feel it at a glance," explained the Thunder Fox. Xin Chen surrounded the surroundings and decided to chase after the two people as quickly as possible.
"Two robed men at that time... As I recall only those who have another piece of Phoenix Steel."
