The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 54 - The Undying Bearer
Hundreds of meters surpassed at top speed, the trees only looked as fierce as a glance and his legs began to struggle to run, he had no choice, if stopping something behind would instantly pounce on him, he said, until that second a shrill voice from behind still scouted him violently.
"What's that?" his inner.
He did not dare to look back because he was already afraid due to the enormous negative force and even made his body reflexively run following the survival instinct, his subconscious said he would not survive dealing with the creature.
Xue Zhan ran even faster through the distance of hundreds of meters until he finally started to no longer feel the aura of something chasing him to this extent. The sun started to fall, Xue Zhan did not see a single participant because he was so panicked throughout his journey.
The creature was all tall, not human but like having intelligent sense, its body resembled a beast yet Xue Zhan had never seen that form anywhere. His breathing was still breathless, Xue Zhan docked to a tree to catch a breath for a moment.
The night descended perfectly without leaving even the slightest bit of light in the wasted city, Xue Zhan walked a few meters and finally found a settlement that had been long abandoned.
The gray sky above made the atmosphere in the city seem gripping, worn and torn flags fluttering as the stormy wind came sweeping through the dust above the shanty city. House boards that have fallen out eaten termites stand clunky and may soon collapse if an earthquake comes.
His feet walked cautiously towards the square and realized that he was not alone there. A girl appeared in front of Xue Zhan-either from where she came from and faced towards him as if she was challenging her guts.
The young man opened his voice first, "If you wish to get the scroll from me then you did a futile thing, I don't have it at all."
The girl just lowered her head without even saying a word but after Xue Zhan said suddenly her hand reached into something behind her cloak.
Three rolls at once.
"You wanna fight with me?"
Of course Xue Zhan was shocked but he did not dismiss something that the girl looked extremely dangerous.
When he was talking Xue Zhan could only see the bottom of his face. The girl wore a bamboo caping on her head combined with a long white robe to the ground and several talismans hung around her waist, her tapering hands looked very unique. There is a white tattoo engraving that looks lit in the middle of a dark night.
For some reason Xue Zhan felt unfamiliar with this participant, he had never met her before much less if according to his expectations the girl was three to four years younger than him.
The suspicion was read by the girl plus seeing her opponent not responding to her challenge, she again spoke.
"Here anyone will be your opponent. If you don't fight then you'll die!"

"Currently, again do it. The girl was indeed annoying as usual," the grumpy person who was standing upside down on a tree branch watched the two from a distance, below her a woman sat docked to a tree while sipping the warm tea she was carrying from afar.
"It's precisely this is an opportunity to see how much he's developing."
Engraved a smile that could not be interpreted on his face at that time, making his male friend just frown and then shrug.

"Feel this!"
Xue Zhan spewed out a lot of blood, only this time did he get such a big attack and have difficulty moving a single finger. His whole body was crushed. His mind wondered, who was that girl? Slowly his face turned so threatened.
"Who is this guy? Is he really just a little boy? There was no way she was a participant, she might be more powerful than Yun Mei or Jiazhen Yan, this person ... The committee is also impossible, no matter how strict the rules of the committee will not hurt the participants especially with a murder of this magnitude ..."
His thoughts paused for a moment when he saw the girl reappear, the path so slowly that Xue Zhan thought he might talk or just introduce himself. But wrongly guessed, the girl did not intend to talk and immediately pounced like a lion hunting deer.
With the sword in his hand Xue Zhan held the footprints that almost made his neck bone shift. His eyes opened, despite stepping on the sharp sword eyes the foot was completely unharmed. Xue Zhan was pushed until in the end the result remained the same, his body hit the wall of a house again and was thrown into it.
For the first time in life, Xue Zhan felt threatened with death against his enemy.
The clattering sound at his feet reminded him of the bells, constantly repeating, Xue Zhan tried to guess where the girl passed by the bells but what happened seemed to come from all directions.
"Who are you really? The committee didn't say someone like you would be our enemy in this exam place, then who are you?"
His chest thumped even more when suddenly the bell was right in front of him. Inside the darkness the girl appeared and made her surroundings slightly glowed by the tattoos on her hands and feet
"You really want to know?" he asked back, the corner of his lips lifted high enough so that his canine teeth were clearly visible.
"Unfortunately I'm not allowed to reveal my identity. Hihahi. How unfortunate. But ... I'll enjoy my time having fun with you, loser."
In the blink of an eye one strike entered in a blinding manner, Xue Zhan could not brush off a single one because the fighting technique the girl possessed had absolute speed, he could unleash three attacks in a second. His body floated above the air after being kicked by the girl to the point of being thrown, then the blink of an eye a thin light fell from the sky, spinning rapidly towards Xue Zhan who was still hovering.
One house was smashed when Xue Zhan's body was hit by the white light, the sound of a powerful bang was heard to a distance of tens of meters, dust flying everywhere along with the fall of wood debris fell on his body. Xue Zhan was on his back in a miserable state, that one strike knocked him down, his nose bleeding, numbness, aches and pains gnawing all over his body.
He began to lose consciousness, trying to turn his head to the side and was only able to see the pair of legs of the girl.
There was a faint voice, "You are still the loser you used to be, weak, the unlucky and useless carrier. Just die you!" His tone slowly changed filled with emotion and resentment.
Then the moment the girl drew the sword, Xue Zhan could hear the iron noise but his gaze began to faint.
"I'll kill you!" The voice loudly exclaimed. He raised his sword to kill Xue Zhan.
A moment of silence ruled, now the tip of the sword was right on Xue Zhan's forehead.
Xue Zhan who was at the threshold of his subconscious spoke.
"... This sword ... It belongs to my sister. Stealed it? I-I told you where my sister is, I've been looking for her everywhere but ..."
The sword trembled as the hand holding it trembled.
" ... They say that my brother has been killed by the flames."
Right after Xue Zhan was unconscious.
