Immortal Warriors
IW 94 - Captain of the Third Division of the Sword King

“So you guys are the remains of the remaining warriors? What's the point of you two coming to see me?” Ling Zhen asked as he watched the look on Lin Hao and Mu Yan's faces.

“The two of us came to see you because we wanted to invite you to join the sect that we were going to create. We will establish a sect of remaining white and neutral warriors. The number is approximately five hundred. Did you accept our offer?” Lin Hao advanced forward while releasing his body aura intimidating Ling Zhen.

Laughing softly Ling Zhen replied, “I won't join, I don't want to be controlled by someone. What if we fight, if I lose then I will join your sect but otherwise if you two lose then you will join the group I have created.”

Lin Hao and Mu Yan unexpectedly heard Ling Zhen's reply. The young man before them showed no expression of interest in joining their call instead preferring to fight.

Lin Hao smiled broadly in response to Ling Zhen's offer just now, “Alright, your offer is very attractive. How's Yan?”

Lin Hao glanced at Mu Yan who was just silent, before long the man answered Lin Hao's short question to him.

“Hao, he's not a bossy person. If you lose, it'll be hard.” Mu Yan gave a warning to Lin Hao

“You don't need to worry Yan.” Lin Hao was in front of Ling Zhen with a big smile on his face.

“Alright, can we start it?” Instantly the flames spread over Lin Hao and enveloped his body.

Ling Zhen shrugged his shoulders and watched the surroundings, “We'd better do it somewhere else.”

Ling Zhen walked towards the outside of the city while staring at Lin Hao and Mu Yan. Arriving outside the city, Ling Zhen and Lin Hao were already standing opposite each other.

“Good. Yan, you can be the referee of this fight.” Lin Hao pointed at Mu Yan, then Mu Yan stood between Ling Zhen and Lin Hao.

“When this stone hits the ground, then that time also the sign of the fight begins.” Mu Yan explained as he looked at Ling Zhen and Lin Hao in turn.

“Serah.” Ling Zhen responded, while Lin Hao released his bodily aura and manipulated the flames.

As Mu Yan threw a rock up, Ling Zhen and Lin Hao looked at the rock that floated in the air for a few seconds before falling to the ground.

Coinciding with the rock touching the ground, Lin Hao moved swiftly unleashing a blow coated with fire around his hand on Ling Zhen.

While watching Lin Hao's agile movements, Ling Zhen dodged Lin Hao's hand punch. Then he released a huge amount of profound energy and directed a kick towards Lin Hao's face.

Lin Hao dodged the kick then pulled out a sword that had a red blade, then unleashed a cross slash towards Ling Zhen.

“It's gonna be hard..." Lin Hao acknowledged Ling Zhen's ability.

Seeing how Lin Hao started using the sword, Ling Zhen also did the same. It didn't take long for the two to exchange sword slashes and release one after another of their moves.

Mu Yan watched the fight closely, but he knew Ling Zhen's ability which was above Lin Hao when he saw the movement of the young man who seemed to be relaxed in the face of the attack after attack that Lin Hao had released.

“Basic fox cunning.” Mu Yan smirked looking at Ling Zhen.

“You accepted my offer didn't you?” Ling Zhen smiled widely as he held back the slash after slash that Lin Hao had released.

Lin Hao frowned, “What do you mean, Yan?” As Lin Hao was puzzled, Ling Zhen unleashed a single powerful slash that was held back directly by Lin Hao using his sword.

Before Lin Hao realized the movement, his sword fell to the ground along with Ling Zhen's sword which came into direct contact with his neck.

“Ends.” Ling Zhen looked at Lin Hao who could not believe what had just happened.

Both hands Lin Hao raised, “You win, I lose.”

Ling Zhen drew his sword then sheathed it. Then he looked at Lin Hao and Mu Yan in turn.

“How about you?” Ling Zhen challenged Mu Yan to a fight but the man rejected him.

“Lin Hao represents me. If he loses then I will join you, and vice versa.” Mu Yan retorted while closing his eyes.

“Mu Yan, much stronger than me when he was in such a state of insanity. You better be careful with him.” Said Lin Hao commemorating Ling Zhen who was intending to recruit himself and Mu Yan.

“I don't think you two would mind if I appointed you as the leader of my group.” Ling Zhen smiled faintly as he walked closer to Lin Hao and Mu Yan.

“Lin Hao, I appoint you as Third Division Sword King Captain and you Mu Yan, I appoint you as Fourth Division Sword King Captain.” Ling Zhen's speech made Lin Hao startled, while Mu Yan scratched his head then raised his right hand.

“Can I refuse it?” Said Mu Yan who was feeling objection.

“Hah? You have no reason to reject Mu Yan!” Ling Zhen looked unacceptable.

“Not so, I will join you but I do not want to accept the post as you say. If you can choose, I'd rather work with Hao.” Mu Yan let out his opinion, Ling Zhen let out a long sigh of thought Mu Yan rejected his proposal.

“You got it, Mu Yan. You served as Vice-Captain of the Third Division of the Sword King. Contribute to me, Mu Yan.” Ling Zhen said with a faint smile.

“Do you mind this, Hao?” Ling Zhen asked.

“No, I will accept this responsibility.” Lin Hao replied with a wide smile.

“Alright, from now on you two are part of the King's Sword.” Ling Zhen invited Lin Hao and Mu Yan back into the city.

On the way Lin Hao said if all the warriors he had gathered would join the Sword King.

“Do you mind, Zhen?” Lin Hao asked because he thought Ling Zhen would only invite the person who attracted him to the Sword King.

“I don't mind. They'll all be in your division.” Ling Zhen replied, then added, “But before that I would like to introduce you guys to the First Division Captain and Second Division Captain Sword King.”

Lin Hao and Mu Yan frowned, along with the three of them who reached the city gate, there were four people standing in the way, two of them were people that Ling Zhen was about to introduce to Lin Hao and Mu Yan.

“Long, Hayabusa, how are you?”

Ling Zhen greeted the two who confronted him, they were both Hei Long and Hayabusa.
