The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 188 - Do Not Say Goodbye

The sound of a bang brought out a loud sound wave in the empty room. The cracks of the table that had turned into rubble were strewn across the dusty floor.

"It's gonna be harder to catch him."

Xin Chen clenched his hands. Suspicious that Ren Su had any involvement with the researchers in the Wei Empire. There is still a possibility of them working together for a bigger purpose. Too many threats were coming from outside, Xin Chen could not think anymore. Everything's chaos.

Seeing the complexity on his sister's face, Xin Zhan gently touched her sister's shoulder and was surprised she only touched the air. He immediately spoke after a small cough, "I'll take care of the rest. You have a bigger job than this. Focus on that."

"thank you. But we have to tell mom. So that mom is on standby if that rotten woman ever sets foot back here. I'm sure when that time comes, he won't hesitate to take Mom's life."

Xin Zhan seemed to agree with what her sister had just said. All was clear now, Ren Su had ill intentions towards Ren Yuan. On the basis of a grudge that even they still did not know clearly.

The return of the two greeted Ren Yuan with relief. Meanwhile Xin Fai was forced to postpone her departure outside her city due to the chaos her second child made the other day and until now she was still worried about Xin Chen's state.

The young man came back, looking better than before. Xin Fai told them to come in immediately. Yet for a moment Xin Chen saw a hint of worry on his father's face.

Something he rarely saw on his face. When he realized Xin Chen was looking at him, Xin Fai tried to smile despite only a stiff smile visible on his face.

"Mom, we need to talk about Aunt Ren Su." Xin Zhan started the conversation. "He was the mastermind behind the mother's illness and assault that took the lives of our servants and harmed our mother!"

Ren Yuan shook his head slightly, Xin Zhan looked stifled. He looked at his second son, asking for another explanation from him.

"Sister Zhan is right. Aunt Ren Su who according to the mother took care of the mother during this time gave drugs that continuously damage the internal organs of the mother. Creating Red Crystals in the mother's body. And when he found out his plan to kill his mother in a neat way didn't work, he resorted to violence. He tried to kill mom. Slowly or directly. He's no longer a brother, he's a demon."

" ... It can't be ..." Ren Yuan still could not accept all the facts opened by his two children, but they all explained what he was going through. Ren Su, the half-sister he so trusted stabbed him in the back after being in front of him acted as if an angel had come to save him.

Tears spilled in both of Ren Yuan's eyes, Ren Su's betrayal made an impossible wound to heal. Ren Yuan lost a friend, their loyal housekeeper. Just for her sister's baseless ego.

"And now he fled to the Wei Empire. We're losing track and it's gonna be hard to catch him." Xin Zhan clenched one of his hands, stomping on his own knees to vent anger. Although completely useless, every time Ren Su's face flashed across his chest memories was like being burned. With the burning anger.

"I'll find him to drag the woman into prison. Or all of you into his own grave," Xin Chen concluded. Making a pause of a few seconds, Ren Yuan and Xin Fai stared at each other. Xin Zhan swooped a sharp eyebrow.

"You. It won't. To there." He spelled out his words clearly, accompanied by a cold look without tolerance, this time the young man did not want to open a gap to be debated by his sister.

"But I have to"

"OPEN DOOR!"

The four of them were immediately made dumbstruck by such a loud noise coming from the front door, unknowingly hundreds of Wei Empire soldiers had surrounded their residence complete with weapons. Xin Zhan peeked through the gaps. His black eyes widened, guessing what was going on and his gaze was fixed on Xin Chen.

Likewise with Xin Fai back then, a heavy breath accompanied her words. "Great news has been spread, the name of Emperor Shi's assassin has been revealed. They came here for that."

Xin Chen was shocked not to play.

"What's? Where is it possible, who made this announcement? The people of the Wei Empire agreed that they would not give me my name even if they were desperate. And the only ones who know my identity in this Empire are the Defectors and a few others. They said to themselves, they would never betray me" Xin Chen began to fall apart.

Assumptions and possibilities in the midst of panic that began to dominate the contents of his head pounded each other, only to meet a dead end.

"OPEN THIS DOOR OR IN A MATTER OF THREE WE'LL DESTROY IT!"

Ren Yuan came over worriedly, he touched her husband's hand as he said, "What should we do?"

"Who gave me my name, Dad?" Xin Chen still insisted on wanting to know who the culprit was. Was Yu, but that woman had helped him a thousand times. But there was still a chance for him to become a traitor. He needs money to give to his people to survive. Xe Chang could be suspected, as the Central Military Faction group was still controlled under Central Central. And the defectors themselves, not all of them can be trusted. Moreover, they are nothing more than delinquents who live hard on the streets.

"Xin Chen, first you have to hide." Ren Yuan persuaded him gently.

"There's no point in me hiding, I have to face them or this house will be destroyed" he said, a wound running through his heart. "Again."

"Chen, listen to your father and don't defy. Hiding in our basement. Let me face them."

"Listen to Daddy, stupid brother! Straight away went there" the panicked Xin Zhan could not control emotions.

"Tell me who gave me my name."

The anger on Xin Chen's face grew increasingly turbulent. He knew these were all consequences he had to endure, he knew these were the results of his actions, and it was him who brought about this dangerous situation.

If Qin Yujin was the one, Xin Chen made sure to chase that person all the way to the core of the earth though.

But his father did not answer the question and was busy hiding.

"I don't need to hide. You guys are the ones hiding, give me one name, who announced my name as Emperor Shi's assassin?!"

With anger already past the threshold, Xin Chen raised his voice. Xin Fai jerked.

"Xin Chen, you never change! Follow what I said, now!" Xin Fai was about to push her child downstairs but it was useless that she could not touch her son.

"alright. I'll obey Dad. Tell me who-"

"The new "Emperor Shi. That guy announced your name as a master killer with some solid evidence. Now your head is targeted for twenty billion. All the greatest killers will come to kill you. Therefore listen to your father-"

"Shi Long Xu ... Mean Dad? But why her-?"

Xin Chen had never expected that name to come out. People trusted by the Defectors, the Central Military Faction, the Rain Shrine, the Southeast Campground and everyone outside the central. The man who was like the only light in the middle of the night was pitch black.

"But why?"

His hands were clenched firmly, his face turning increasingly stifling. That instant Xin Zhan who would normally come nagging him to a silence of horror, the anger was already mixed with disappointment and hatred.

"Xin Chen, do you still remember what Dad said?"

"GET OUT NOW!"

Because he was too focused on his son Xin Fai to not realize the door hinges began to fall out of place. In two more banging, the door was gone.

Xin Chen's eyes flashed sharply, spirit power began to gather in both of his hands. Makes a very dark air. Xin Fai gave a peck of annoyance when she saw her son walking half-run towards the door. The steps are getting faster and faster.

The door of the house fell to the floor, carrying a loud bang. At the same time another noise came. The ground in the courtyard of the house shook and cracked, something came out from behind it.

The soldiers guarding outside were shocked by the less than five second event. And they died in a glaring eye. Still too shocked and died instantly. The soldier who was in front of the door bounced ten meters forward, drenched in blood.

Black lines that were the size of tree root twigs pierced the heart, brain, stomach and crushed the rest by binding until they were destroyed. The men were screaming dying but no one could help them. Until finally the body stops moving, it starts to stiffen.

Xin Chen walked slowly to the front yard. Where many residents of Fanlu City watched in fear, worse their faces when the perpetrators of it all came out. After finishing off hundreds of warriors in a matter of a few seconds.

Fearful.

Everyone is afraid to see it. Xin Chen recalled the moment he saw the shadow of himself and knew how fear was. So horrible.

Only one person out of the hundreds of soldiers was still standing. Xin Chen retracted those black lines, letting the corpses rest on the ground.

The few who witnessed it vomit, the tragic deaths the soldiers had to endure mercilessly.

Ren Yuan walked out of the house, barely speechless when he saw what his son was doing.

He killed hundreds of people without mercy. Xin Fai was just like Ren Yuan, looking at his son's back from behind and looking at him in the past.

"Xin Chen, don't do that ..."

The second son spoke to everyone there, without fear and trepidation.

"Please hunt my head if you can. But if until my family is involved in this, the people of your government agency will lose their heads."

The man ran as fast as he could.

Only an intense silence remained there, Xin Chen saw that. Her mother's plant splashed with blood, corpses strewn in her yard.

It's all true. He realized something.

"I'm just bringing misfortune to our little family."

"Chen'er, that's not true ...!"

Ren Yuan ran over, hugging his son despite only hugging the empty air and also now one by one the residents of Fanlu City began to hate his son.

"I have to go again. Wherever the misfortunes in me don't hurt you."

Xin Fai couldn't hold back her tears, so she could probably blame her son again for everything that happened.

"You just want to help everyone, don't hate yourself for the bad things that happen. It's all out of your control."

"In reality the bad things always follow me. I'm just a dirty soul who happens to be in the middle of the warmth of your comfortable home. But I know ... That house is not my place. I realized all this time I never had a home again, I shouldn't have come back here and got you in trouble."

"Shut your mouth, damn it!" xin Zhan snapped, Xin Zhan suddenly punched his sister in the face. But then again he just hit the air.

"Your house is just here, you should go back as far as you go! Everything will be fine, when it comes we can be together again."

"The situation is always getting worse. All right, it never lasted long. We went through it all together, I know you understand that."

Xin Chen realized he could not linger any longer, there was still a group of Wei Empire warriors to come.

"I'm saying goodbye."

"I hate this. If I could do something, I wouldn't want to see you fighting alone there. Fuck the Wei Empire! Arghhh!" Xin Zhan was frustrated heavily. No matter what people think of him anymore. He can't calm down if it's about his sister.

"What's wrong, I'm used to it. Fighting alone. Fight not to be alone."

"You're not alone, Chen ..." Xin Zhan tried to deny it, but he finally realized that it was all true.

Ren Yuan never expected, this would be their next farewell. Although it was only yesterday that peace always warmed his chest space. His son was forced to be pulled by a terrible shackle that chained his neck. Ren Yuan attempted to restrain his son, seeing dozens of soldiers coming out of the streets and starting to kill his son who was now walking away. Down the big road of Fanlu City where the enemy will come.

Some of the people of Fanlu Town kept Ren Yuan from chasing Xin Chen, as well as her husband who was as heavy as letting go of Xin Chen. Don't know what danger is waiting ahead. All they could see was that exhausted back.

Xin Zhan involuntarily shed tears, he knew his sister was so devastated at this moment. But what made her even more sick was the fact that there was nothing she could do but stare at Xin Chen's departure.

"Never say goodbye. Promise to go home."
