The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 189 - Flickering

"I'll kill you ..."

Those blue eyes flashed in the flames of wrath, Shi Long Xu had completely betrayed him after the confidence he had placed in the man. He remembered when the man said they were friends and even thought of him as his own brother. The fact that Shi Long Xu was playing so skillfully in front of him made his heart grow hotter.

Perhaps this was how Ren Yuan was being played with by Ren Su. His eyes were presented by deadly trickery, unconsciously careless until the man stabbed him from behind.

The sword in his hand flashed brightly, Xin Chen was ready to behead Shi Long Xu at any time. Although this will add to the bigger problem. He would not grant any mercy to Shi Long Xu. After hundreds of lives he took and it turns out his hands killed for the wrong side.

Some of the soldiers who tried to hold him were thrown on the walls of the residents' houses, the rest were uprooted on the ground. Blood dripped from the tip of the sword eyes, Xin Chen slashed through dozens of other attacks. Splitting the neck of a soldier who was raising a sword in front of it.

"Treason will be even more painful when you trust the person too deeply."

"Teacher-" Xin Chen turned around, unable to believe how the Thunder Fox could walk right behind him without him noticing. There was no sound or presence. There was only a fox wrapped in a gray robe, about the size of a ten-year-old. From behind the hood of his revealing robe, the Thunder Fox smiled faintly.

"Control your anger, you're getting out of control, Chen. I know you very well. When you lose control, you'll make a stupid decision."

They had been a little away from the crowd, passing through the forest path rather than the usual road because there they would definitely be pas-part with the soldiers sent by the Wei Empire.

Xin Chen only said after, pondering what had happened lately.

He lost himself, he seemed to think so.

"I don't know anymore, it's all messed up in my brain. I've been trying to cool my head but everything that's going on is testing me." Xin Chen stared far ahead, the path he took was never as smooth as expected. But sometimes the more complicated the situation that comes, even more so that involving the closest person in a dangerous situation will make anyone lose balance.

The Lightning Fox understood that. Although human feelings are something that is difficult to understand for him. Xin Chen's current state made him concerned.

"Then what are you gonna do?"

"Anything to kill Shi Long Xu."

"You sure about that?" The fox asked once more, hesitating a little. Things will turn worse when Xin Chen starts his next assault. He would be made a fugitive all the time, even if he begged for forgiveness his name would always be tarnished.

"I'm pretty sure about that." Xin Chen's head lowered, his hands clenched. There was a sense of guilt in his heart. He never listened to his father's words, for some reason their thoughts were always at odds. And now maybe it's all because he doesn't listen to everybody.

Long as his eyes only stared blankly at the grass, the voice of the Lightning Fox only faintly sounded, "Know your battlefield, Chen. You'll never win with such a worried heart."

"I know that."

"But you never really listen."

Quiescent. Xin Chen looked at the Lightning Fox who was doing the same thing, it was just that the fox's eyes were extremely intense to him. "You know, sometimes parents want you to do their thing because they've seen almost the same situation. They failed because they made the wrong decision."

"Try, listen. You don't always have to obey him. Just listen carefully and think about it without elevating your ego. You'll know what they mean, not to set you up. But for your good."

Xin Chen was speechless without taking any words out, he was just thinking about what he had done. Everything happened so fast. Until he realized that he was at the most dangerous point. Become a fugitive of the Wei Empire and soon the hum of war will be echoed.

"When I feel helpless ..."

Bias of the translucent sunlight from the gap of the trees, the light glistened in the silver eyes of the fox who only listened to the stubborn disciple speak.

"I'll do anything to help. Even if everyone says it's impossible."

The Lightning Fox added, "And you get a lot of trouble from there."

"You're right, Teacher."

The fox laughed a little, "You're finally conscious. But I don't blame you for that. You're just chasing every little possibility. That's why now you have to finish this whole thing."

Xin Chen had never expected that his Fox Master cared about his current state, in his memory the creature was extremely cynical and noisy.

"I'm glad you're here, at least I'm not alone. And my heart grew calm as you spoke, as usual as if being pursued by a demon."

Xin Chen laughed, but it immediately turned sinister when looking beside him the eyes of the fox flashed. Then out of nowhere a twig appeared in the fox's hand.

"Until you return to your human form, I will count the number of blows to punish the curse's mouth."

"It's still just as vicious as it turns out," she said. Imagine being covered with thin and sharp wood, until the tears of his eyes yesterday made Fox.

Xin Chen turned wary as galloping footsteps approached, leaving the surrounding forest in a considerable army. The Lightning Fox whispered, "I heard in the harbor the soldiers of the Wei Empire were sent down here, to capture you. You gotta be careful, they're a lot."

The fox put on an annoyed face. Indeed compared to Xin Chen he was easier to catch, because Xin Chen had the spirit power to hide his form. While he's not. The group got closer, then suddenly a voice sounded at the end there.

"Hey, I saw someone behind a tree!"

"Find it soon!"

Before long heavy footsteps followed, narrowing the area until the Lightning Fox could not go anywhere. He could have used his power to kill all those soldiers, but the risk was that the screams from being stung from them would bring in more enemies.

The fox was just thinking of unleashing power, but in the blink of an eye came the sound of a sword being pulled from its place. The fox just winked and the scene changed. The bodies fell with their heads lying not far from them. Seven people died without a sound. It was still like a peaceful afternoon. But that place was no different from a slaughterhouse.

"They'll come more. We better not have to deal with them." Xin Chen returned the sword to its place, making the Lightning Fox think, "You started using that sword?"

Is correct. The partially fractured Steel Phoenix Sword was now used by Xin Chen, the young man looked at the object briefly and replied.

"After the Wei Empire I couldn't use spirit power. It will drive my spirits out of control and into the empty bodies of the infected. If that happens, the infected will turn into more terrifying creatures."

The fox tried to understand, he reached out his hand. Xin Chen gave the sword. "Indeed, the power of your Fire of Eternity is unreliable."

"If I drain too much power, my fate will be the same as you see in the palace's backyard."

Of course the Foxes remembered the moment it happened. He looked at his disciple, "You're rampaging like crazy. Even if it's a crazy person."

"Your mouth is cruel."

"Hahaha," the fox laughed. They continued to travel to the far end of the border, but because of the many warriors who roamed around it took a long time to get there. Xin Chen and the Fox decided to take a break as night came, waiting for midnight to move more freely.

Only the sound of tree branches engulfed in fire became a noise among them. The night adds to the silence. The fox stopped adding wood to the bonfire, finally seeing Xin Chen who was still drifting in his own thoughts. "We need preparation to go there. Tell me about getting infected."

"Well, where am I going to start ..."

Xin Chen finally explained the details of the infected, each type, researchers to the laboratory where all the viruses were made. The fox was not so familiar with it, because before he finally decided to stay in the Fog Forest he had traveled the world. Watching so many genius humans being born and creating new sciences.

Undeniably, the disaster that befell the Wei Empire was the greatest disease ever recorded in history. They are still looking for a cure, while the number of infected continues to grow every day. As the number of researchers continues to decrease.

"But I found a good way to kill them."

He held out one hand, a blue way appeared, The Fire of Eternity shone brightly. Then Xin Chen added an electric shock inside. The pressure of the two forces being inversely proportional creates a current from two different directions within the power ball.

The friction between them created a spark. Small branches of lightning appeared outside the ball.

Xin Chen threw it some distance away, then an explosion occurred scorching the grass that was nearby.

The fox was still digesting what it saw, "The reaction was the same as a bomb explosion. But you can control the power, the bigger it gets, the bigger it gets."

"really. But not to create a big explosion. Since the number of infected was so many, I made it this small to blow their heads off. That way they're dead, in a matter of seconds."

"Genius." The fox flicked his finger, doing the same after learning what Xin Chen had brought up.

"Have you ever seen a tree scorched by lightning?"

While saying so the fox created a ball-sized force, so dense and contained. The current within the power of the lightning was extremely strong but stable. Xin Chen was no wonder, the Lightning Fox was extremely skilled at controlling her strength, no matter how big.

"certain."

"Then it doesn't take two different forces to make it explode. You just need to control this power, until it collides with each other and ..."

The Lightning Fox threw further away from Xin Chen, then the fierce explosion from such a small ball made the ground follow vibrate.

The screams of the men standing guard outside the forest. They were shocked to think lightning was falling on their heads. Xin Chen was similarly shocked.

"Teacher, that's you're no longer killing the infected, but it's like you're killing an elephant."

"See this." The Fox Master did not stop there, he created something even bigger than before.

Flickeringly adorning the scenery around Xin Chen, he was stunned, having long since not seen how great his teacher's strength was.
