The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 201 - Ruffled

"No ... What the hell is going on out there?" Yu stared at the sky in an unstoppable void, since a few minutes ago the dark clouds were struggling together with endless strong winds. It was not like they usually saw such a strange weather. And now due to a storm so strong that some of the iron wire that protects the hideout was removed. They took refuge in trenches, houses and basements to avoid being blown away by the increasingly violent winds.

Yu was forced to put aside his curiosity, he had to save his people first.

Elsewhere the Lightning Fox avoided a foothold in favor of a fractured foothold, the Black Line kept coming out trying to destroy all buildings and places in the city. Like a wave so big, in a matter of less than an hour the city was destroyed.

"We have to stop it!"

Fu Hua said from a distance as frantically, "But he's unapproachable!"

A few objects flew close to hitting Fu Hua's head, the girl dodged as soon as possible. While Xin Chen's rampage grew bigger, he unleashed more power so the Lightning Fox itself began to be unsure if anyone could stop the young man. One by one the lashes hit them from various sides, the Lightning Fox saw Fu Hua was in danger. Some spirits tried to harm the girl.

He deftly unleashed the power of lightning, creating one sizable Lightning Spear. Swinging so shrewdly, cutting off the heads of the spirits that were surrounding them.

"They are endless. It won't stop if we don't stop Xin Chen!" exclaimed Fu Hua in the midst of the fog situation, they even had no gap to run. The tremors at the ground level were increasingly felt, hundreds of thousands of infected descended back to where Xin Chen was. The Lightning Fox shook its head.

"They're heading towards Xin Chen, I don't know why. But if this continued, hundreds of thousands of spirits would join his body. He won't be able to withstand that much strength"

"Look!" Fu Hua pointed quickly, in the darkness filled by the pitch-black fog as well as the thousands of monstrous spirit forms, a bright light shone bluish. The Lightning Fox could not see clearly because the giant spirit covered it a few seconds later, but she immediately chased after Xin Chen with lightning steps.

"Fu Hua, do whatever it takes so you can survive. Don't you die!"

The remark ended with the disappearance of the Lightning Fox within a second after. Fu Hua raised his sword to the right side, preparing in case an attack came. But he himself was not sure whether these spirits would be destroyed with the sword.

A hand gripped his shoulder, Fu Hua was surprised instead of playing and immediately unsheathed the sword into the neck of the figure behind him. Even more shocked when he found someone was dragged into this storm of spirit power.

"Lian?!"

"I-I was alone and almost died and found you here."

"How did all this happen?" fu Hua asked afterwards, Lian explained with a face that was completely pale white even as blood no longer flowed on her body. The teenager's hands and feet froze as did his blood. He could hardly believe that he could still survive the lunge of the innumerable infected.

"I, Shuo and Chen are looking for food and people are defectors. Then the tsunami of corpses came. We lost Shuo," he replied restrainedly. "After a man appeared, he called the man Qin Yujin and was consumed with emotion. Then the strange infection came, and then I didn't know anymore. I was about to save myself as he commanded, but again a great wave came. Being infected almost killed me, but... "

Lian threw her gaze far away to the place where she had last left Xin Chen, "They didn't attack me and just ran fast towards him."

Hearing that explanation Fu Hua thought hard, "we must find Qin Yujin!"

"Where?"

"It hasn't been so long, he should still be in town."

The fox brushed aside all the attacks that were aimed at him, finding one human kneeling on top of a building. Losing his direction and himself. His body was getting worse - even more like a dying man with a disease. The virus spread from his chest, to his wrists and face. Trying to shut off his brain. Until the young man was at the threshold of his consciousness.

The Lightning Fox managed to reach him, patting Xin Chen's shoulder slowly. "You hear me?"

When the disciple raised his face, the Lightning Fox did not see the blue eyeballs that usually looked at him so annoyed. Only pitch black was visible there. Just like when the Lightning Fox saw the eyes of the corpse possessed by Xin Chen's spirit.

Xin Chen stomped his hand, releasing a melee attack that was strong enough to the point that the Foxes were pushed several meters away. He managed to hold back, approaching Xin Chen back furiously.

Xin Chen closed his ears, "I ... Catastrophe. They called me."

"It's not you! You're under influence, you're either regaining consciousness or you're going to hurt a lot of people."

"I'm a loser."

The Lightning Fox was really upset. He knew that the one speaking was not Xin Chen. The way he spoke and moved, he knew the student well. But it is undeniable, the emotions that dominate the student's self are emotions in his subconscious that are buried far away.

"You're not a disaster or a loser, Chen. You are my student."

Those black eyes stared at the old fox figure in a gray robe. Black blood flowed from his eyes, his shoulders fell and at the same time hundreds of thousands of spirits rose up into the sky. So fast did the power eat the infected down there, that not a single finger was left of their corpses. The Spirit is the manifestation of greed. The Qing Empire called it a catastrophe and paid whatever it took for whoever killed the spirit controller.

"Right, I'm your student."

Flaming in a storm of increasingly strong spirits keep popping up, attacking and forming new forms. Destroying all the places and facilities of the city. The tallest tower in the city collapsed as a black line shaped like a snake wrapped around it to its top. Grip until it is destroyed and do the same for other buildings.

"I am your failed student."

Simultaneously, the black clouds above the sky began to move towards Xin Chen. The Lightning Fox was intent on stopping it all. Xin Chen would not be able to withstand such a large amount of spirit power, he would probably enter the current stage of the Spirit Controlling Book. A terrible level that is not even recorded who has gone through this stage.

If his body was unable to withstand the force, it could have been eaten by his own strength. The immortality in his body did not apply if it was about his soul being extinguished. And the fox didn't want that to happen.

He chased after Xin Chen, but so quickly the incoming attack hit the fox's chest. The demon didn't even blink and howl just like that. His body bounced far away hitting the ruins of the city. Then the thousands of spirits tried to kill the Lightning Fox, she could not stop Xin Chen at all with her state of being busy facing the other spirits.

His silver eyes stared worriedly as a larger typhoon appeared, swirling from the black clouds. Then within a few seconds after, the Book of Spirit Controllers shone so brightly. That power entered Xin Chen's body, a shout came from his disciple.

The fox forgot about his safety, chasing after Xin Chen until one by one the attacks injured his body. He could not allow Xin Chen to enter the third stage of the Spirit Controlling Book. That stage required at least five hundred thousand lives to be pulverized. With that much, he was certain that Xin Chen would not survive. Worse still the only one who can save him is that the War God Spirit is not here.

The black fog crept down, entering the controller's body so quickly. An incessant explosion of power occurred, then the giant spirits and other small spirits disappeared into the black fog that returned to the body of its owner. The Lightning Fox grimaced hearing Xin Chen's cry. I felt a great pain in his body.

"Adrrarghhh!!!"

A great shrill voice in Xin Chen's ears, the heat burning the body along with the pain that never disappeared and even grew more painful. But at the end of his consciousness that only a few remained, Xin Chen saw something through the eyes of his spirit who was on the other side of the city. A quick chase, crossing a girl and teenager who are dealing with someone trapped in the Gates of Hell created by his spirits.

Xin Chen could still see, albeit faintly. Gathering a bit of his consciousness, focusing the spirit power in his mind and moving one spirit to possess one of the infected ones guarding Qin Yujin.

After that, he lost his consciousness completely.

"Xin Chen! Hang on, hey." The fox was completely panicked, unable to hide the worried look of his face with calmness. Not without reason, the current Xin Chen was still using his human form. And he didn't listen to the heartbeat at all. Some bones of Xin Chen were broken. Blood flowed from his eyes and mouth and the blue and red veins on his face never disappeared like they had.

And lastly, making it even more frozen, the spirit power disappeared. As if nothing had happened, it left only Xin Chen who was completely breathless or motionless. Like a dead man.

"It couldn't have ended this way .." regretfully Fox held Xin Chen's head on top of her feet, trying to hug her. The suffering that devastated him.
