The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 184 - The Fall of the Tenth Pillar

Xin Chen raised his hand, then in an instant a shocking sight appeared. Hundreds of papers floated above the air and began to fall on the floor. All eyes watched without turning away, from the many papers there was a paper made of pink material.

With the stamp belonging to the Jiang Clan as well as the signatures of Jiang Cho and Zing Yongxe as both sides were visible. The paper flew in front of Xin Chen. His hand caught the paper. Attracting a meaningful smile when looking at Zing Yongxe's frightened face.

His feet crept closer, Zing Yongxe clenched his hands.

"You forgot, when my spirit power came out and flew all over your room?"

There was no response, Zing Yongxe seemed like he wanted to talk but only his lips trembled uncontrollably. It is difficult to imagine what fate will hit his head. The man nodded, starting to whisper slowly

"We'll finish this well, I'll give you an advantage you never imagined. I've heard you want to unite the Three Empires, what about the offer of becoming an Emperor? I'll help you. I swear."

Xin Chen almost laughed. "You did a dirty cooperation with a person from the Jiang Clan, Jiang Cho to get a vote in the Imperial Pillar election that was held behind closed doors. From the hundreds of council votes, you made a fraudulent act that ended up making the pews heroes screwed up!"

Jiang Cho widened in her chair. He woke up from there. And in just an instant tens of eyes poked towards him and everyone from the Jiang Clan.

Rumors tore Jiang Cho apart. His eyes were red, as was his face that had been extinguished. His legs ran fast, charging at the back of Xin Chen who was still dealing with Zing Yongxe. When he was about to punch his head from behind Xin Chen's hand first stopped him.

Jiang Cho's actions further aggravated the atmosphere.

"Stop! Master Jiang, you know what you're doing now?!"

Emperor up to his feet from his magnificent throne, his eyes really hurt looking at everything that was shown to Xin Chen. The great truth has been revealed. All the things he didn't know were uncovered, all the way to the end of his veins. Xin Chen turned around in order to face the most respected man in the room.

He knew there was smoke causing chaos on the Pillar bench. But all this time the smoke always did not show its mouth. Emperor Qin never thought the person he suspected was his old friend, Zing Yongxe. The look on his face shriveled, so disappointed that it felt sick to see such a miserable Zing Yongxe now. The foul aroma of his deeds had been revealed, mercilessly dismantled by Xin Chen.

"Good work, Shadow Pillar. That's what I expect from you. Sorry, I didn't trust you." He patted Xin Chen's shoulder as he passed, now directly face to face with his own best friend.

"You stabbed me in the back, my friend."

"Yes-His Majesty, listen to me. There are mistakes to be made. Give me some time to talk!"

Zing Yongxe prostrated himself, his eyes still glaring in such a way. Just how many minutes before he had flown in the clouds and now he had to kiss the earth. Things change so quickly. In the middle of his prostration Zing Yongxe had looked to the side, seeing the second son of the Demon Sword still not taking his eyes off him.

"What's the point now of apologizing? You know, you can get money anywhere. But trust, once you destroy it, will forever be destroyed. Even if one day I forgive you ... "

Zing Yongxe realized his actions had crossed the line. He felt possessed all this time, forgetting that his best friend was someone who trusted him so much.

Just for the money.

The old man was sorry. His eyes began to get wet, he groaned for mercy but everything had happened. The officers began to arrest him and take him into custody. Hundreds of scattered papers were collected by other officers.

Xin Chen looked at the faces that were insulting him earlier.

Speakless. Embarrassed. And most looked away, knowing what Xin Chen meant to look at him.

"Your Majesty have nothing to fear, I will make sure this Empire is clean from corruption. With the privilege I got. Although offered with property, throne or promise of any size. I will hold my oath to you. I'm not here to chase money."

Xin Chen stared at the entire person in front of him fearlessly. The upper classes are so feared by the lower classes, where they bow their heads when people like them pass by.

"But to eradicate the carcass of the gold-robed rat who forgot to be buried. So that the stench does not spread in this Empire. If it doesn't work for the Empire, I will firmly destroy it. No matter what his clan pursues, its supporters, or my own father slaps."

Emperor Qin straightened his back, had long since not listened to such patriotism. Time passes by so quickly, most humans have been tainted by the erroneous thinking that money controls everything. By getting paid, of course he will get happiness in a short time. But don't think about the huge impact that awaits behind. A single fraud could knock down the Imperial Pillar.

"I'm not telling you to respect me, let alone fear me!" Xin Chen deliberately raised his voice to the people in front of him. Hundreds of them, not just anyone. Advisors, Councils, Nobles, Politicians, Elites and many other important people who came here because they were worried about the situation of Zing Yongxe.

"But keep this in mind, one of your filthy deeds will be immediately smelled by me. If the heavens can't punish you, then my law will kill you." The stern warning was accompanied by a deadly dark air.

Some servants fainted from being affected by the spirit power. Their weak bodies are vulnerable. Instantly the situation turned panicky. Xin Fai drew closer towards Xin Chen, embracing him warmly.

"Hey, dad's son is so passionate about his work." He laughed at those emotion-filled eyes, but did not last long enough when he saw the anger in his eyes as if he did not want to be extinguished.

Emperor Qin looked at Xin Fai who was laughing awkwardly. "Give me some time to calm this super rock."

"Xin Chen, we need to talk."

His son did not answer.

Instead of dizzy waiting for his son to say he immediately expressed his intention. "You can do a better investigation. Without infiltrating the Zing clan residence. I know you can, but why?"

"Why not?" Xin Chen returned his eyes.

"You don't understand my son ..."

"Dad knows what it's like to tear people apart like them. One time there was a war, and then the ones standing there were the government sissies. Do you really think they can fight the enemy armed with hairpins? No!"

Xin Fai had no idea what made her son seem so emotional. He was silent, watching his son's face in a long silence. Trying to understand, the part where he did not pay attention to his second son. Xin Chen brushed Xin Fai's hand away from her, walking away without ever looking back.

**

Water droplets from the bridge's support fell into the calm river below, clear filled with fish with beautiful patterns. The lotus leaves live on its edge. Then by the river, a young man sat looking at his own face.

Xin Chen should have sensed victory after taking down his enemy.

But the face in the reflection of the water, Xin Chen was like he was staring at his own enemy.

He threw a great power. High waves appeared, narrowing in all directions.

But the shadow was back in one piece again. Xin Chen clenched his hands, then unintentionally stared at the pulse in his hand.

"No, no, no."

The veins came back, before long the pain was extraordinary like hitting the back of his head with a giant hammer. Xin Chen was almost unsteady as he tried to stand up. Pressing his chest, the pain and soreness were so violent as if his spirit was coming from the root. Black blood came out of his mouth. Likewise with his eyes that began to bleed equally black.

There's no one there. Xin Chen fell to his knees on the rocks. He was about to transform into a spirit body before feeling even more terrible pain. But his mind was out of control.

Strange memories seemed to appear in front of Xin Chen. Hundreds were infected in Laboratory B-1 and her hands were filled with red and blue veins. Strong instinct told him to finish off the infected.

The desire to kill an unusually large without control came out. Xin Chen's blue eyes closed for a few seconds until his flame turned dim.

From the back door of the palace Xin Fai had just settled into chatting with the other council regarding the case of Zing Yongxe and Jiang Cho. He looked at his son from a distance and scowled while trying to wave his hand.

But his pace slowed down, he lowered his hand in confusion. Why is his son's behavior so strange.

"Like not my stubborn son."

Xin Chen groaned. His body felt burnt by the heat of his own Fire of Immortality. Sure enough, the Fire Force of Eternity slipped out of control. Burned the trees behind him in no time.

The pain is getting crazy. Xin Chen couldn't maintain his sanity, he could go crazy.

Meanwhile, from a distance, Emperor Qin was looking for Xin Fai who was walking towards his son. I heard a scream so heartbreaking. Xin Fai's heart was like it had been pierced by something.

"What didn't you tell me, Chen?" Xin Fai ran as fast as she could. His eyes began to water. Looking at the state of his son now, which parent could let his child in pain until it sounded like the screams of the dead.

The smoldering black eyes that were being engulfed by the Fire of Eternity glanced at him. Xin Fai could not see clearly because her eyes were blurred by tears.

Emperor Qin accelerated his pace seeing that something was wrong from the scene ahead.

And in a quick moment, a strong wind flashed blocking Xin Fai. The man could not see anything but could feel another figure present in their midst.

"Xin Chen, talk to Daddy! You all right?!"

Xin Fai looked for her son in a puff of smoke. Didn't find anything.

Emperor Qin arrived, his breathing falling apart from being forced to run. Seeing the sudden disappearance. The smoke thinned, then they could see the Lightning Fox with Xin Chen. Staring sharply at the two.
