Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.57 - Checking Headquarters

The burly man glanced at Xiao Jung with a faint look, he was not even strong enough to simply move his body.

"Your words really sound disgusting in my ears! Do you know why? Because I hate naive people like you!" Xiao Jung said slowly but with great emphasis as he brought his mouth closer to the burly man's ears.

The sword in his hand had already started to slowly scratch the man's face.

"This is only the beginning if you still remain adamant with your words. Then don't blame me if all of your beautiful muscles are cut off.." Xiao Jung started carving some other scratches on the man's body with the sword he was holding.

"Blame your leaders and members who didn't come to pick you up!" Sighed Xiao Jung, then began to ask some of the things he felt were necessary.

The burly man could only moan in pain, every single question Xiao Jung did not answer, then one finger would be put on a stake.

Hang Xie who was right beside the two of them could only curl up in fear. If his hands were not tied, he would close his ears tightly so as not to hear the screams of the man beside him.

Fu Chen who was even quite far away from there could also still imagine the torment that Xiao Jung was doing. No matter how much Fu Chen had swallowed his own saliva, he could not imagine what kind of life Xiao Jung had gone through until he was mentally strong enough to do just that.

The burly man shouted even to the point of echoing from the depths of the forest. It continued until the question that Xiao Jung was asking had run out.

***

Xiao Jung threw out Fu Chen's sword after the burly man in front of him drooped weakly. Xiao Jung looked at the figure for a moment, the man's hands and feet were no longer left. All were cut down by Xiao Jung.

Xiao Jung then approached the woman who was currently curled up on the ground. His body looked extremely shivering, not from the cold. But because he was frightened by the figure that was currently approaching him.

Xiao Jung pulled out the woman's hand in order to sit properly. Hang Xie could only resign himself to his body that did not stop trembling.

Xiao Jung raised the woman's chin in order to see her face more clearly. "You look smarter than him, don't you? You know what to do after this?" Xiao Jung asked as he put away the hair that covered the woman's face.

Hang Xie did not reply, not because he did not want to but because he could not do so, his voice seemed to be stuck in the throat.

Xiao Jung could understand the woman's intentions with just the look in his eyes. The woman seemed to want to say that she would do anything as long as Xiao Jung forgave her life.

Xiao Jung repeated the questions he had asked the burly man before. Hang Xie answered everything smoothly without the slightest hitch, the most important thing right now was the safety of his life.

It doesn't matter to him if the older brother gets a new enemy, after all, Hang Xie already strongly believed in his brother's abilities and was confident that the leader of the Black Bear group would eradicate enemy enemies who dared to challenge him.

Fu Chen who felt that the atmosphere had returned to normal quickly approached Xiao Jung. He glanced towards the burly man lying on the ground for a few seconds, Fu Chen then searched for the whereabouts of his sword.

Xiao Jung turned his head towards Fu Chen for a moment after the young man killed the man he had tortured, his gaze then refocused on Hang Xie.

Fu Chen's intentions were actually quite good, yet what he said sounded a little ambiguous.

Xiao Jung and Fu Chen returned to the troupe after finishing their needs. Both of them acted as if nothing had happened, Xiao Jung had also changed his bloodied clothes with the others, he did not want to invite suspicion from people.

The sun began to show its light tinge after a while Xiao Jung and Fu Chen returned. They had breakfast with the group before Xiao Jung explained that he and Fu Chen would continue their journey first.

The leader of the group looked disappointed, but he also did not have the power to hold Xiao Jung with him for longer.

"Senior, isn't our mission just to find information about this group? Why should we visit their headquarters?" Fu Chen asked as Xiao Jung said their next destination.

Fu Chen was worried that the people in the headquarters they were going to visit were not the same as the information Hang Xie had provided.

"There's something I need to make sure of. You'll know when we get there." Xiao Jung noticed the map that Hang Xie had marked, there were at least three Black Bear group headquarters in the area.

Xiao Jung only wanted to ascertain the truth of Hang Xie's words by visiting one of the Black Bear's headquarters. It was actually quite risky to mess up at one headquarters alone, because people from other headquarters would have thought that their location had been found when the news reached their ears.

Xiao Jung did not care about it because after this report he gave, then the Sacred Sword sect would move larger members to earth the group scorched.

"Chen'er, your job is only to free those who have been kidnapped by the group. Just try not to kill people anymore, I'm sure with your current abilities you can do it."

Xiao Jung actually felt very guilty for what Fu Chen had been through lately. With his age that had not even stepped ten that year, Xiao Jung had brought Fu Chen to the battlefield and killed his opponents. Xiao Jung felt sure, even in the black stream not many children of Fu Chen's age could do it.

Xiao Jung did not want Fu Chen to become bloodthirsty from too often following a fight that risked his life.

Fu Chen also realized that, he did not immediately answer Xiao Jung's statement because he himself realized that the actual fight was very different from the practice.

"But senior, I can fight the lowly warriors there. So that you can save the energy to fight a stronger enemy." Fu Chen himself was a little hesitant with his words, yet he also did not want to be a burden to Xiao Jung. He also did not know how strong the enemy was waiting for them.

"Right too, Chen'er was previously also calm enough to take the life of his enemy." muttered Xiao Jung.

Xiao Jung realized, sooner or later Fu Chen must have engaged in many other bloody battles. Even so Fu Chen was still a small person in Xiao Jung's eyes.
