Dragon and Phoenix
Chapter 69: The Sacrifice of the Hero
No one dared to go first.
They've all locked him up. But no one dared to step forward.
Some people step forward. But they didn't attack.
“Liar however, Cio-siansing has helped my life during the poisoning yesterday. I came forward to defend him,” said one.
Some others came forward and shouted, “True!”
These dozens of advanced people were the ones who a few days ago had been helped by Cio San when they were poisoned by poisonous needles. The people of ‘belaw’. The LiokLim people who have been considered lowly, dishonorable, and do not count in the world of Kang Ouw.
They are all now on Cio San's side.
Cio San said to them,
“All Enghiong, this is not the business of the Enghiong. Please do not waste your life. There are no debts between us.”
“Life debt pay life. Business period ‘small’ like this, In-horny (Supporting Master) do not understand?” they say.
Sometimes, the best sincerity can only be found among people who are considered contemptible.
“Gentlemen are indeed more worthy to be called Enghiong, than the honors of this straight college.” Cio San deliberately raised his voice.
“Cuih! People like you have a price in our eyes. Want to sell intelligence what?” said one. He is the head of Hoa San-pay.
“Then why Ciangbunjin (Chairman) did not immediately come forward to beat us?” cio San said with a smile.
“Forward, who is afraid?”
Out of fear of losing face, Ciangbunjin's Hoa San-pay finally steps forward.
Cio San stepped forward.
“Be careful, Liong Kiam-enghiong. That guy was a lot of his trickery,” Hong-taysu of Siau Lim-pay warned.
“You guys just attack!” one of them gave a suggestion. Cio San did not know his name.
“Come forward together!”
“Come!”
“Come!”
Because they were encouraged like that, of course they became brave. Human courage will arise, if you feel the number is many.
“Ciaaaaaaaaatttttttt!!”
Their attacks also spilled.
Who in the world could imagine how ferocious this attack was?
Almost all famous college students from the ‘lurus’ party who came to the top of Thay San, gave all their best to launch this one attack.
Bu Tong-pay's best swordsmanship.
Best stick style Siau Lim-pay.
Go Bi-pay's best swordsmanship.
And all the best moves of each party.
Unite to a point.
A shitty human named Cio San with his friends.
Imagining there was an attack like this alone, making humans already shudder in fear. Especially watching directly.
Flashes of swords, machetes, sticks, and all sorts of weapons, fused together in an extremely powerful attack.
The thunderous sound of their cries was even so loud that it reached the bottom of the Thay San mountain.
Let alone humans, dragons if listening to the thunder will surely drag fear!
Cio San stepped forward.
Hand expands. Thay Kek Kun opening. His right hand was in front forming a fist. His left hand hanging backwards made a terrifying rattling sound.
His new friends have come forward to follow him. There are also those who guard the back area.they all stand on their backs.
They moved first.
But somehow, it was Cio San who had received the attack first.
Duuuaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrr…………...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A soul-stirring energy. Even the human heart can be dislodged hearing this energy thump.
His right fist shot out the third from the powerful punching science of the 18 Dragon Treads.
‘Combats in Nature Liar’
Cio San did not know the name of his nurse, so he was unable to shout it. Though it is said, the science of the 18 Dragon Sites will become more powerful if launched with a shout.
His left palm emitted a fierce vibration that repelled all the weapons that hit him. With a single sweep, there were already dozens of weapons caught in his hand.
The attackers who received Cio San's right-hand strike, were thrown several spears away. Fresh blood spewed from their mouths. Even though they were the main students of the main colleges as well, when was it able to withstand the enormity of the 18 Dragon Sites?
Those whose weapons were captured by Cio San, could only gawk at Cio San's left hand movements to form the Clouds-Picking skill of Bu Tong-pay and throw them away!
Looking back, Cio San saw how many of his new friends had fallen. As great as they are, after all, cannot withstand such a devastating onslaught.
Angrily, Cio San leapt back to face the onslaught coming from behind him. In his hand was a stick and a sword. He eloquently launched two sciences at once, the science of the Dog-beating Stick and the swordsmanship of the Swordsman Kelana. His footsteps also followed the Stepping Climbing Clouds of Bu Tong-pay.
How great the result!
The buzzing sound of his staff, united with the squeaking sound whizzing from his sword. People could only see the flashes of his shadow. Not even the flash of a weapon in his hand was anyone capable of seeing!
Know that there have been wounds on their bodies!
Know they've been blown far back!
Without ever knowing, what hurt them or who grabbed them!
The Ciangbunjin who were behind witnessed this ‘slaughter’, did not expect that Cio San could do that.
Science they had not imagined before. How could the snot youth be able to combine powerful sciences that are theoretically and philosophically very different?
How is it possible, the combined results can be as flexible as possible, so they almost see that Cio San is creating a completely foreign style but also ‘akrab’ for them?
At first they thought Cio San would die butchered by thousands of their students. But now it was clear in their eyes, it was Cio San who massacred their disciples. Once attacked, it can defeat, incapacitate, or even kill 10 to 20 people.
Just wait for time, until thousands of people he managed to disable all of them!
The Ciangbunjin and the elders of this college were astonished. Why is the energy of this snot youth like there is no end to it?
Any swordsman if he gives out that much energy, in dozens of moves alone will be exhausted. But Cio San is not.
His body moved quickly like lightning. The roar of dust and splashing blood made the night turn even darker.
Shouts of people who are injured or dead, making the heart feel sucked out.
Hundreds of bodies were scattered, making people able to vomit up the food in his stomach.
How could this young man do it?
For a lifetime, it was only this first time that they had witnessed something like this!
How did Cio San do such an amazing thing?
Spending that much energy without any fatigue at all?
The Ciangbunjin and the Elders forgot or perhaps did not know, that Cio San mastered the science of Sucking the Sun. Ma Kauw's science that makes it able to suck energy in others.
The great thing is Cio San is, he is able to combine that science with other sciences. So while launching 18 Dragon Sites that require enormous energy, he was also able to launch the science of Sucking the Sun. So that people who attacked him in addition to being crushed by the energy of Cio San, the energy in them was sucked too!
That's why they can't get up again. Their entire inner energy was sucked in in just one strike.
With this ability, Cio San will never run out of energy, because every power he spends, always manages to get a replacement.
With the science of the Dog Stick or the sword style of the Swordsman Kelana, he managed to do the same. Combine it with the science of Sucking the Sun!
Even more powerful, he was able to ‘inspute’ the science of Sucking the Sun into another science, so that no one is aware, that they were attacked by 2 sciences at once!
No one was aware, that other than they were repulsed by Cio San's power, their own power was being absorbed by him!
You can imagine how powerful the energy he was able to absorb. If he expends 5 parts of power, he gets 10 parts of power instead. So the more fighting, the power is not getting exhausted, even more!
Dozens of swords grabbed his head, he dodged with just a light move. Then quickly, he moved his sword. His sword clung so fiercely, that these assailants felt as if their hands were covered in an omnipresent glue!
Once they felt their inner strength drained, there was no time left to do anything, except to wait for Cio San's attack resignedly.
As soon as the attack came, they were thrown very far away. Either fainted. Either die.
Cio San's scepter and sword were always swapping positions. Sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left. This strange change further added to his attack power. Sometimes he even took off his weapon in the air, threw 18 Dragon Treads or Thay Kek Kun, and then again captured the weapon.
So admirable was it that the spectators who dared not partake in the affairs, clucked in admiration. Each inwardly admitted, Cio San is the greatest fighter ever in the history of mankind!
Kao Ceng Lun who at that time held his promise to continue to keep Beng Liong could only gawk at how sacred Cio San was.
Beng Liong himself did not move. He had numbed his entire senses and focused his mind on healing his wounds. He did not dare to stop. Because he could actually read what was going on.
Therefore, he tried hard to shut down his senses. Otherwise, if his concentration of mind and energy were to collapse, he would have died in vain.
The moves by the moves have passed. Falling victims.
Dozens, tens, hundreds, thousands of people, Cio San has been crippled.
Even the greatest storyteller lies, will not be able to imagine how terrible this fight is.
Nearly two hours of fighting took place. The casualties were countless. Cio San himself did not stop fighting. He has said that at this time, he will not forgive anyone. Whoever attacks, will be attacked.
The view in Thay San is so scary. The human body is everywhere. Either they're dead or they're alive. Blood was pouring down on the shoes.
Those who still survive are those who have high knowledge. Or indeed those who had not dared to move attacked Cio San.
Cio San stood up silently.
The one who locked him up was still several tens of people.
5 Swords of Bu Tong-pay.
7 Female Swordsman Go Bi-pay.
11 Arahat Buddha Siau Lim - pay.
Dozens of people who hate or have a grudge against the ‘big brains’.
All devote their best intelligence and ability to scour it.
Cio San is alone. His new friends are all dead now. Their sense of solidarity was so admirable, that Cio San shed tears.
Even knowing him for a moment.
But lives have been sacrificed.
Sometimes, the height of the human mind is so amazing that even angels are amazed.
But sometimes, the humility of man is so disgusting that even demons and demons shudder in fear.
The situation on the mountain Thay San illustrates both of these things.
Cio San no longer knew which understanding he was in. Which path is on. The line between swordsman, coward, murderer, and victim, had become so blurred to him.
Now it's all quiet.
How different the situation was with just a moment ago, which resounded and shook the soul!
But this kind of silence was even more soul-stirring.
Death is much more frightening when faced alone. That is why humans become bolder when their numbers are large. And be a coward when he's alone.
Cio San stepped forward.
Step slowly and carefully.
I don't know whose body he stepped on. I don't know whose body he stepped on.
Dozens of people in front of him still locked him up.
From thousands to tens!
Can you imagine what kind of battle just happened?
Thousands of people watching on the outskirts, have since convinced themselves, that all they see is a mere delusion. Because if not, in addition to pissing in fear, of course they faint because they are too afraid. These, most of the Kang Ouw who are not too high in knowledge, but are interested in seeing the crowd.
There were also those who were members of Ma Kauw and Kay Pang, who Cio San had warned against interfering. Like everyone else, they could only gawk at the prowess of their chairman.
These people bear witness to how terrible this fight is. A battle that changed the history of human life Kang Ouw.
This battle will be remembered throughout history, as the most terrifying, the most sinister, yet also the most awesome and the most unforgettable.
There has never been this claustrophobic youth in Kang Ouw's history.
And the young man was now walking slowly toward his enemies. None of his enemies dared to face him. Now they all retreat in order.
“Who does not attack me, I will not attack,” said Cio San.
He now walked closer to the Ciangbunjin and the Elders of the martial world.
“Have you seen the results of your own cruelty?” tanyakanya.
“You killed them, why blame us?” sahut Hong-taysu, Elder Siau Lim-pay.
“But you guys ‘kan ordered them to fight? Without you guys orders, would they just drop lives?” ask Cio San again.
Indeed, the cruelest of wars is not battle, death, and destruction. The cruelest of all wars are the humans who let them happen.
“Without you making trouble, shall we order them to destroy you?” this time it was Lau-ciangbunjin who spoke.
“Where is the proof that I am a troublemaker?”
“This fight is proof. Under this sky, where does anyone have knowledge as great as you without having the powerful book Tat Mo Cowsu?” bi Goat-nikow.
“Unfortunately silat can only be learned from the damn book?” cio San said.
“Already, no need to talk a lot. Why aren't you the only ones advancing? Are you guys scared?”
The word fear is a very forbidden word among Bu Lim. You can call someone stupid, ****, stupid, ugly, or senile. But you can't call him a coward.
“Who is afraid?!!” Simultaneously the Ciangbunjin and the Elder attacked him.
Hong-taysu from Siau Lim-pay with his Tiger Claw.
Lau-ciangbunjin with his high-level Thay Kek Kun.
Bi Goat-nikow with the science of Dragon Challenging Space created by ancestor Kwee Siang, the founder of Go Bi-pay.
Chairman Sung Law, the newest Ciangbunjin of Kun Lun-pay with his sword that vibrates the soul.
There are a few more people that Cio San does not know his name, but his knowledge is admirable. Now everyone is attacking him.
Hong-taysu's claws immediately targeted his heart, Lau-ciangbunjin's palm targeted his stomach, Bi Goat-nikow's fingers targeted both eyes, Sung Law's sword targeted his neck. Their palms, fists, and other powerful kicks, were eyeing the entire dangerous spot on his body.
Cio San decided to attack those who were not famous first. They are inferior in their knowledge, attack more slowly, and their power is less than that of the Ciangbunjin and Elders such as Hong-taysu, Lau-ciangbunjin, or Bi Goat-nikow.
Cio San's movements are very difficult to follow with the eyes.
In a flash, 5 people he was after had successfully paralysed. It sucks their energy with the science of Sucking the Sun, then controls those energies with Thay Kek Kun, then channels them through the 18 Dragon Sites. You can imagine how the battle went.
First, Cio San moved towards one of his attackers. Using Thay Kek Kun, the man's attack managed to change his direction. The attacker himself was shocked when his attack now changed direction towards one of his friends.
His friend, as soon as he saw this attack coming, immediately received it with a stalk. Wrong, he did not know that the science of Sucking the Sun Cio San would make his hand firmly attached to the hand of the friend who had attacked him.
Once these two people were sticky, it was easy for Cio San to control them using Thay Kek Kun, so that now the two people with sticky arms were like turning into giant sticks.
With that ‘gun’, Cio San easily incapacitated 3 others who attacked him simultaneously. Those three people were also sticky.
In one simple move, Cio San incapacitated 5 people at once. It repels their attacks, absorbs their power, and uses them as weapons.
This incident is said to be so easy, easy, and simple. In reality, doing so is almost impossible because the accuracy, speed of thinking, and speed of moving, should really be at its peak.
Even more amazing, is the fact that all these written events, only took place in the blink of an eye!
Then when these five people were already sticky into one, the power within them was sucked up so quickly, now their lives were threatened as well when thrown into the air.
Cio San's goal was so that their defenseless bodies could be captured safely by the other Elders. In fact, these Elders did not care about them, and instead proceeded to attack Cio San!
How cunning and wicked is that honorable man actually!
Fortunately the people who were thrown were able to be saved by the audience who watched from the outskirts of ‘arena’.
Angrily, Cio San used the energy he had absorbed and channeled it into both hands.
18 First Dragon Treads.
“Dragon Snarling Sorry!” his yell.
The white light that shot out from his hands formed a torrential wind that moved like a dragon's whimper, striking the three main college Elders.
But they were not the croco warriors that Cio San had beaten. They are the head of the most important silat college in Tionggoan. Probably the most important in the world!
Accepting the attack, they convoluted easily. Their experience, understanding, and knowledge of the fight, was much more mature than Cio San.
As powerful as any 18 Dragon Sites, if able to avoid it, would certainly not hurt. And that is the secret in facing the 18 Dragon Sites.
Don't face it directly with exertion as well, but it should be avoided, then look for empty gaps to attack!
Once the 18 Dragon Treads were taken out, there was a split second gap that could be utilized. Because the person who issued the knowledge requires a lot of energy and strength, so to recharge it takes a fraction of a second.
A second is a very short time. But for a master silat expert, this kind of time was enough.
Their attacks entered in a crushing manner!
Cio San's body was bent backwards!
Seeing this attack succeed, very quickly they had already made their next attack, even before Cio San's body hit the ground!
The next attack was a very dangerous kick. The three kicks hit Cio San's waist, stomach, and chest!
Cio San alone who was already capable of moving at lightning speed, was unable to fend off that first attack. It could be imagined just how fast and fierce the attacks of these three Elders were.
Before it touched the ground, Cio San's body was blown away again by the second attack. It turned out that these three Elders had indeed created such a powerful combined power. Again they move!
Cio San's body had now drifted towards the ravine. The second attack was so terrible that it threw his body far towards the abyss.
All the spectators who witnessed the event cried out in horror as they saw Cio San's body so close to the abyss. He was already helpless, for there was nothing he could stand on or hold.
And the third attack came!
By combining his strength, these three people launched an ultimate palm style whose rays dazzled the eyes. This beam was much more dazzling than the rays produced by the first 18 Dragon Steps.
That meant the combined energy within these three people was much stronger than the energy within Cio San. The speed of these three people was above Cio San, and the experience of these three people was also above Cio San.
The young swordsman resignedly accepted the combined style of these three people!
He could only accept the attack with his chest, as his hands were still losing fast with the combined speed of the three Elders earlier.
As they moved on their own, their speed was indeed inferior to Cio San. But when they combine energy and make a combined move, then Cio San is not able to wart.
His chest received the thrashing of the three palms.
Kraaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was a sound of broken bones that was much louder than the sound of a large tree falling.
Heran, not just Cio San who crashed into the abyss. But all three of his assailants also crashed into the abyss with him!
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa………….…….,” these three Elders themselves can't believe they're crashing into the abyss!
All the spectators immediately ran to the brink to see what was happening.
The four people disappeared into the darkness of the abyss.
The abyss was so deep, dark, and like endless.
Shouts ‘Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....’ it gets smaller and smaller, then disappears and is not heard from again.
Suma Sun can only shed tears ‘view’ sacrifice her best friend.
Kao Ceng Lun silently remained silent unable to say anything. He was amazed.
The members Ma Kauw and Kay Pang cried as they pleased.
All the remaining warriors from the great fight tonight, never expecting the end of this fight story.
War brings nothing but tears.
