Legend of the Fighter (2)
Chapters... 15: About the Teacher
After getting the information from the fat man, Zhou Fan went as far as he could.
They were indeed Xi Empire people, and it was true that the name of the teacher was Sian Lou. But one fact was missed, and this almost made him a prisoner.
Xi Loan was a prince of the Xi Empire, but not the heir to the throne, he was the second prince. He wanted to seize the seat of power from the hands of the older brother who had been inaugurated as crown prince.
When the emperor learned of the intentions of his second son, he was furious. Obviously he was very against it, because his decision was already unanimous.
The emperor did not punish the second prince, hoping that his son would come to his senses. But what happened was the opposite.
The second prince came with a large army, he made a sudden assault to the palace of the Xi Empire.
The Xi Empire that was currently in conflict with other Empires certainly did not expect there to be an attack from within.
In one night the Xi Empire was destroyed because the emperor and the crown prince were unwilling to give up on their conditions.
The second prince-Xi Loan's army was defeated. Yet the Xi Empire was already destroyed, and they would not survive the onslaught of the other two empires.
Unable to survive, the entire Xi Empire chose to hide, and from then on it was rare for anyone to see them.
Hem...
"It seems like it's been a long way, there's no way they can find me." Zhou Fan turned his back, he then sat down near a tree and glanced at the piece of cloth in his hand.
"Want to play with me, poison drowsiness like this is just an easy matter." Zhou Fan threw a cloth in his hand.
While drinking together with Xi Loan, he had already guessed that something was wrong. Especially if you remember Xi Loan is very friendly to him who is still foreign to him.
And also, the tea provided was too thick, as if it had mixed something. As he looked deeper, he realized that this tea contains a forest rasberi that is famous for paralyzing the body and even bones.
Zhou Fan wrapped a piece of cloth in his hand, as he drank he poured the cup slowly. Not into the mouth, but seep down through the cloth in the hand.
After swallowing some recovery pills, Zhou Fan continued on his way back to Xue City. I don't know why he felt that something big was going on there.
Recalling about the first prince, Zhou Fan's eyes twitched slightly. He sped up his pace and in a short time he darted through the dense forest.
After some time traversing the forest unhindered, Zhou Fan could see flames blazing as well as dense smoke soaring high on the roofs of every building.
Zhou Fan headed straight to where the third prince was, he could not let a person like Shao Mingrui die at the hands of his brother.
Trangs...
It seemed that a middle-aged man was busy fighting his opponent. Zhou Fan was able to recognize one of them, he was Shao Mingrui.
Shao Mingrui was not against the Barbarians. A group of people dressed in black.
"The first prince really did as he said." Zhou Fan observed the surroundings, many residents were exposed above the ground, their bodies were covered with wounds as well as blood.
On the other hand, the eighth prince continued to move with on the right and left also standing two burly men.
"Bitch, I didn't think anyone would want to move first. This first brother acted as if he didn't care, but in fact he was very eyeing the position of emperor." Shao Ziyu pulled the sword on his back, then darted slashing at the approaching person.
Shao Ziyu could instantly guess who was behind all this, because from the beginning the first prince tried to keep them separated into various places, it was clearly a stratagem.
This had clearly been planned far away the day, nor was it impossible for the attack of the Barbarian Tribe to be planned by him. The Barbarian tribe is just a cover, in fact they are not really attacking.
Back to Shao Mingrui's place.
After defeating his opponent, came again one person whose abilities were not much different.
Shao Mingrui was still able to cope until another few people came and surrounded him in a circle. Moreover, the position of the troops he was carrying was also unfavorable, all were under pressure.
"What do you want?" Shao Mingrui glanced back, she deliberately said with a little loud.
A man in his forties came out from behind one of the buildings. "If you want to work under my direction, I'll let you go."
Seeing who the figure was, Shao Mingrui could not help but be surprised. How not, the one standing before him at this moment was the first prince, a figure he quite admired.
Shao Mingrui smiled faintly. He felt very blind because he could not know how his first brother was.
On the other hand he felt regret for not trusting Zhou Fan's remark. He had doubted his confidants, it was clearly a form of great humiliation and was very hard to forgive.
"Of course you have the freedom to choose."
Shao Mingrui snorted softly. He guessed there would be no easy way.
"Yet you will be my enemy, and I will never let the enemy roam freely outside." The first prince's smile showed arrogance, implied by an enormous ambition that was very terrible.
Shao Mingrui clucked furiously, he did not lower his sword, instead clutching it even tighter.
The first prince stared cynically, for him Shao Mingrui had been in a position of not allowing to fight, but still the third prince was adamant against him.
Attack it!
With a single swing of the hand, the first prince's subordinates directly attacked the lone Shao Mingrui. But defeating a person who was at the level of a five-star emperor realm fighter with them who was an average four-star emperor was not easy.
But the condition of Shao Mingrui's body was also not in maximum performance after fighting with one of the first prince's troops.
Trangs...
Shao Mingrui was so persistent, he moved while avoiding the puncture as well as the slash that was constantly trying to injure his body.
The first prince only watched from a distance, if he fought of course Shao Mingrui would not be able to survive. In terms of strength they were not much different, but the first prince supported his troops while Shao Mingrui was only alone.
After a long fight, Shao Mingrui managed to defeat all seven of his opponents. But his condition is really not good, a lot of incision wounds that imprint in every inch of his body.
The first prince approached, he walked over while clapping his hands.
Phak phak...
"The third prince is indeed as people say, very formidable." Every said the first prince always displayed a smile, but it further irritated Shao Mingrui.
Shao Mingrui himself stood up while propping up on his sword, if without the sword, he might not be able to stand. His legs were very limp, as the inner power had been drained.
"If there's a chance, I won't repeat everything I've done."
