The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 161 - I am the Killer

"Find the killer until he can! I'm sure he's hiding around here!"

"We've searched all over the place and found nothing." Subordinate soldiers reported, of all the officers who scattered none saw the figure of the killer with the characteristics said.

"There's no way he's escaped any further, I've got reports of a young man and a wolf crossing the Central border. He shouldn't be that far from there. This place was his choice to stop by. Continue the search!"

But when evening came down, they still could not find where the Blue Eye had gone. Then the chief soldier stopped the search and started another action that was already out of bounds. He gathered a group of young men of the Southeast Campground and tied them up.

Parents and children panicked, as around the detained young man stood dozens of soldiers with swords raised by both hands. The young men were clinging to each other in fear, it was clear that they would be killed soon.

"Tell me the truth, are you guys hiding the killer?!"

The thunderous sound invited more people from the Southeast Campground to come see the situation in the middle of the Campground. The women kept their mouths shut and told their children to come in, bloodshed could have happened. On the other hand, their Chairman came. Staring at the soldier's head coldly.

"This is our territory, even if you're a government operative you have no right to take their lives."

The man grew arrogant, he approached with an arrogant face while thrusting a paper containing orders.

"Finding it is our job, regardless of the way we find it. Besides, my instincts are never wrong. That guy is here, I know from the faces of your people ... You know something and you try to hide it."

Nyali Yu was shriveled, when the man added.

"Losing all your people to just one killer. You willingly? Solidarity what if everyone had to sacrifice for one useless person ..."

Then he turned around, staring at the youths in the middle of the half-dead frightened circle. Most of them were not even 20 years old and were so young.

"What do I say?" asked the man directly to the youths there, all of them did not dare to raise their heads. Subduing fear.

"What are you afraid of? Your chief's anger at seeing you betrayal? Is it more important than your own life?"

The man went fishing, he raised his eyebrows when he saw those frightened faces starting to react. They're gonna talk up. Some of them raised their faces and looked at the man directly.

"Say, there's no need to be afraid. You'll be protected and rewarded if we tell you where the killer is. There's no need to be afraid, son." The warrior's head was crouched before a brunettes young man, the young man's breathing was messy and occasionally he stole a glance towards Yu. The woman now clenched her hands, feeling threatened by the words that were about to come out of the young man's mouth.

"You know the payoff? Hundreds of millions ... You'll be the richest man. You won't need these fools willing to sacrifice their lives for a murderer ..."

"I-i ..." The young man's eyes repeatedly looked at Yu restlessly, his lips trembling just like his two shoulders.

"Say."

The man waited patiently for an answer.

"If you don't answer with ten, then one by one your friends will die."

The young man hesitated even more, he turned his head quickly when he heard Yu's voice.

"This place has protected you, never forget it, Ian."

The young man's eyes grew watery, he looked back where one soldier had raised a sword above his friend's head.

"One ..."

"Two ..."

Furious, the head of the soldier clutching the jaw of the young man called Ian.

"Nine." Intentionally quickened count, Ian tried to open his mouth but his voice did not want to come out because he was so afraid.

"Ten!"

Shouts followed after the count of ten, splashes of blood soaked Ian's back. A head rolled next to him, his peer's eyes were still open and even looking at him glaring. Ian crawled in fear, moving as far as he could but the soldier's head held back and strangled Ian's neck.

Crying broke out in the back, the families of beheaded youths could only scream. One victim has fallen, Yu can not make a decision while the situation is increasingly precarious. He must not lose those young men because they will be the successors of the Night Protector.

But if he were to tell the truth, perhaps only he had survived and was considered to have handed over the killer. But not with his men, they were sure to burn one camp.

"Now I'm just counting to three! If you don't tell me then I'll kill all these people!"

"No, don't ..."

"Please sir, spare our son's life ...!"

"Did do something!"

The cries and screams around Ian made the young man even more indecisive, he could no longer think after seeing the decapitated head behind him. Guilt and fear ran in his heart.

Ian's eyes turned blank.

"One!"

The protests and screams around Ian were mounting, the young man barely heard them and the one in his ear was just a drowning hum. Ian turned his head, The Southeast Campground turned into a gloomy place. And soon it might be a place of slaughter.

"Two!"

"Three!"

The sword was raised again, screams and screams began to be heard as witnesses of the massacre at the Southeast Campground. After those young men, maybe children, the elderly or women will be the next target.

"I know where it is!"

Ian let out a scream, tears dripping down Ian's sand-white cheeks. The young man stared at the frightened Soldier's head, the man raised a hand stopping his subordinates from cutting off the young man's head there.

The man crouched down, drawing closer to Ian who was trying to throw his eyes away in fear.

"Then tell me where." Satisfied grin was clearly imprinted on both corners of the man's lips, he removed the rope that tied Ian's hands together. Encourage him to walk immediately.

The most worried one there was Yu. Ian moved towards the hideout Xin Chen was in.

Undeniably, several soldiers followed behind. With Yu and the campers. There is a two-way intersection, Yu knows if Ian turns right they will reach the secret hideout.

Ian turned left.

That road is dead end. It should have been, but when Yu recalled back there was indeed a road that had long been blocked. The place that used to connect the Southeast Campground with the Pembelot headquarters. The place was closed because it brought so much trouble.

What made Yu inexhaustible was that Ian took them there. Out of the camp, they find a group of delinquent men partying with booze. They stared at them and put on a mocking face. As if to know the problem that is plaguing the Southeast Campground. One of them threw the drink bottle carelessly. His attitude was like challenging the warrior head and Yu.

"Don't try to trick me, you fucking kid. Where's the killer?" his tone sounded furious, the man looked forward and increasingly smouldering emotions saw the delinquents there put on a strange pose. Mocking him while laughing out loud.

"In-he is here ..." Ian said it in fear, the hesitation on his face was successfully guessed by the head soldier, he felt cheated by the boy.

"You'll know the consequences if you trick me!"

The warrior head pulled Yu abruptly, putting a sharp sword eye on the woman's neck. Yu who did not read the movement was shocked. Things got worse when dozens of delinquents came closer.

"Say it or I'll kill him! With everyone in this camp!"

**

Xin Chen listened to the sound of sobbing cries and screams out there, he moved to the initial entrance. Lang stopped, "Where are you going?"

"I can't let them die protecting me, Lang."

"You know if you get caught, not your life is at stake again. But your father's name."

"I know that. We go out and find a way, they shouldn't be sacrificed for my actions."

Xin Chen barely came out and suddenly at the end of the door Yian intercepted him.

"Listen, this is the Chairman's order. You go back inside until things subside."

"I can't."

Xin Chen forced to go to the place where the commotion had occurred. Yian grabbed his arm.

"I received orders from the chairman. Listen please. You wait inside, let's clean up outside."

"Say I ran away. Lang's still waiting inside."

Xin Chen didn't care what Yian said anymore. He ran in pursuit, as at a small crossroads hordes of people were seen in front of him. They were unaware of Xin Chen in the direction of the other road and walked towards a street with one door leading them outside the Campground.

The place that is now the territory of the domination of the defector has been filled with soldiers. Ian was further suppressed by the thundering sound of the soldier's head. His eyes stared at Yu, not knowing what to do while people's lives depended on him.

"Say where the killer is!" Exasperated with anger, the head of the soldier slapped Ian until he fell into a slump.

The chief soldier was puzzled when he saw that the young man no longer moved, he had his subordinates check.

"This boy cut his own tongue to death!"

Ian's grandmother who heard him among the crowd was crying loudly, her grandson had lost his life. Now Yu is targeted.

"It's the last chance before I actually burn this one camp. Where's the killer?"

That suppressive voice had turned extremely cold, dozens of subordinate soldiers began to prepare fire and would finish them off in a moment.

Xin Chen had just arrived at the back of the Warrior's head, preparing to finish off the man and his minions.

He opened his mouth to scream.

"I'm the killer!"

The loud noise provoked attention to a point where the head of the soldier immediately turned and realized something was wrong.

Xin Chen himself was shocked. That voice was not his voice, then who had just shouted.
