The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 135 - Hatred in the Heart
"Of course, please forgive us!"
"I'm just on a mission, master swordsman, if it wasn't for being forced I wouldn't be willing to do any of this. They'll kill us if they refuse!"
"Holy Sword Commander, you are indeed famous as a generous man, please help us ...!"
Xiang Yi Bai turned to look at Xue Zhan who was staring with fury at the enemy herd. From the beginning Xue Zhan had already hated the Red Fangs and vowed to exterminate them. When he got the chance, it was precisely Xiang Yi Bai who was avoiding him. Of course he's angry.
Xiang Yi Bai himself understood Xue Zhan did not want to let go of the enemy just by looking into his eyes. But he could not let his disciple drown in something evil, for he would be responsible for all this. Xue Zhan was his student, he was unwilling to guide a future criminal.
"If you are my disciple then you are also the successor of the Thousand Tree Mountain School. Our school does not teach violence, but the tenderness of our fellow men. Use your sword to protect, not for anything else."
Xue Zhan exhaled heavily. While Xiang Yi Bai was still giving advice.
"Now is no longer the blood that flows within you, but hatred. You're forgot? The devil inside you will get stronger if that hatred grows."
This time Xue Zhan realized his deeds, he only wanted to protect Xiang Yi Bai but unexpectedly the killing intent suddenly peaked. I don't know how many lives have been lost in his hands tonight. His mind began to clear again, Xue Zhan apologized.
"I'm sorry Master, I completely lost control. I won't repeat it again."
Fenghuang landed on top of a pile of corpses as tall as Xiang Yi Bai while protesting. "What are we all about, then?"
"Leave it. Living or dying is none of our business."
The 48 men pias, they will not be able to survive alone in the jungle of these demons. It turned out that even though Xiang Yi Bai was helping did not mean he was kind. It was free that they survived Xue Zhan's rampage, henceforth they would become stealth bait.
"Then kill us! I don't want to be the meal of these demons-"
"It's been saved there's still a lot of protest." Fenghuang flapped its wings which instantly tore through the male body five pieces. Blood seeped out, the man screamed for mercy.
"I-I won't talk anymore! Pardon me!" said stammering.
"Botten boy, you better explain where you got this colorful bird from."
Fenghuang fires and instantly swears. "Now birds? Yesterday's chicken! Lowly humans!"
Xue Zhan ignored the colorful chicken and immediately turned his attention. "Save Bai Ye first."
**
After a full day Xue Zhan burned the corpses and buried some so as not to become a disease. It unexpectedly would take quite a long time so that when the night came back down only Xue Zhan could stop. Sweat all over his body.
"Hahaha a diligent child. I've lost a maid here for a long time, come here fast. Get me some wine under that cottage."
Xue Zhan gulped in annoyance. Xiang Yi Bai was still a drunken hobby. Without refuting his words Xue Zhan directly picked it up and sat by the bonfire. When night fell the air became cold, after all Xue Zhan had already finished his work.
"It seems that this place is no longer safe, Master," he said. Xiang Yi Bai threw his gaze the other way, he also thought the same.
"When the Red Fingers are after something, they will not hesitate to do something crazy though. The Red Fangs were currently renowned as one of the strongest dark organizations that shook the four Empires."
"The last time two hundred people in Feng Empire were slaughtered, they were eyeing the Wind Stone. Unfortunately unable, I'm sure they will continue to attack before getting what they want."
Seconds passed until Xiang Yi Bai finally opened his voice giving a solution. "We're gonna find a new place they can't reach."
That was not the answer Xue Zhan wanted to hear. "They have a thousand and one ways of knowing the existence of the Earth Ruler Elemental Stone if we continue to settle in one place."
"You want to get out of this Gorge of Regret?" grumbling Xiang Yi Bai was a bit annoyed, Xue Zhan was staring at Fenghuang alternately.
"Yes, Teacher."
"Go there yourself."
"But the Master is in danger ..."
"Other thing you're worried about? Just learning the six movements already feel satisfied and immediately want to return to the human realm. They can kill you with just one move."
Xiang Yi Bai was right, Xue Zhan could not deny it at all but on one hand he was sure that soon the Red Taring would send out a larger army and attack them back.
"I'm sorry, Master. I'm being impatient."
"Listen, bad boy. I've seen groups like them dozens of times. They would not be rash after losing three hundred troops and even stealth birds. Moreover, there are still three Earth Ruler Element Stones that are easier to reach than the stone in my hand."
He continued, "It will take a lot of time to prepare for the attack. We still have a year or two" he said.
"Then when that time comes?" Xue Zhan looked at Xiang Yi Bai who seemed to be indifferent to the circumstances.
"I'll fight to the point of blood loss."
"Just boy. I've come a long way to take this lowly man but you chose to die. Fuckin."
Xiang Yi Bai turned his head in surprise towards Fenghuang, he had almost forgotten about the phoenix demon. His attacks were so devastating and could kill hundreds of humans in a short period of time. If guessed it, that Phoenix had aged over a hundred thousand years. The energy in his body was more concentrated and pure. Xiang Yi Bai had seen it once, though not quite so remembered.
"This fool says you might have a way to break the Sky Seal."
"Why would you help her get home?" cut off Xiang Yi Bai while staring sinisterly at Xue Zhan, his disciple gave a stupid grin. "I forgot my way home, Teacher."
"Of course," Fenghuang replied. Xiang Yi Bai nodded his temples dizzy.
"Alright," he said. "In a year if you can master the hundred basic moves of the Thousand Tree Mountain, I will break that Sky Seal for this phoenix in return."
Fenghuang twinkled and directly hunted Xue Zhan with vigor. "Hey boy, I'm depending on you!"
"That's right. Six moves I'll take a year. But this is 94 moves?!" Xue Zhan almost fainted imagining it. Xiang Yi Bai sneered.
"Murid of the Thousand Tree Mountain must be eager to help his friend. Nice to meet you, Mr. Phoenix. This way my students will be more active in training."
Fenghuang and Xiang Yi Bai turned out to be able to compact. Compact torturing.
