The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 203 - General Xe Chang

In war, no one wins or loses. Both sides are losing. Soldiers, families, possessions and things. For one desired purpose only. Fu Hua had long sensed it, losing many things from the war. It takes away all the remaining happiness. As if he had not given her a chance to be happy, then now she would have lost someone who had saved her from many things.

His lentic finger touched the cloth he had tied to his head, speaking softly. "I'm gonna save you. Hang in."

The sword in his hand glistened brightly refracting the reflection of the sunlight, he had reached the opposite city. Standing at the top of the tower and looking from a distance at the city where Xin Chen was now. A reed, that was all that crossed his mind. Didn't expect the young man to be able to do anything beyond reason.

Fu Hua was from the Qing Empire, he knew a little bit about spirit power. Everyone was so frightened by that power and called it a catastrophe. Fu Qinshan faced them many times and was dying. Now he knew just how dangerous that power was. Not everyone can reach the third stage, because that might not be considered dangerous by the Spirit Control Book.

Because his true strength has not been revealed. And it could be that his strength would surpass that of a Legendary Book like the Forbidden Book. A strong wind blew her long hair, Fu Hua noticed the situation underneath. Rows of infected never disappear from there. He can't move anywhere.

However Fu Hua is smart enough to divert the infected, he finds some items while going through an abandoned weapon shop. Throw a bomb that detonates on a large scale into one place.

Sizable explosions echoed, as the infected moved toward the source of the sound.

"Here we go."

Fu Hua jumped onto the lower building, climbing down until he got to the big road. Run as fast as he could until he realized that some of the infected smelled his scent. The run gets more and more uncontrollable when the side is infected with a head that has changed with the head of a monster chasing him faster than its own run.

He ran while shooting backwards, hitting the infected head. His head was blown out, the infected were dead. Yet from behind him appeared the same twenty infected as before. Fu Hua could not face them, the arrows he carried were not twenty. Rather than facing those who were endless, Fu Hua chose to run as fast as she could. Find the safest way, climb the wall. Avoiding the infected crowd until both of his legs are about to come off.

The girl hit the wall, unable to stop her running leg from feeling numb. His head was bleeding, but at least no one could catch up to him in that place. The girl took a deep breath, her shoulders going up and down.

"Bring yourself, Fu Hua. They'll come while you take a breath" the girl warned herself. The fear of facing thousands of infected behind the walls began to make his body feel unwilling to move. His feet reluctantly stepped after hearing so many roars of screams.

If they saw it, it was certain that Fu Hua would be chased all out. The girl looked for a crack, found a crack in the wall, she immediately peeked from there.

Sure enough, across there he'll meet the harbor. The sound of the waves was heard with the sound of pelicans. His eyes caught an abandoned wooden boat by the sea, which he could use to cross the sea. But there is so crowded, crowded by the infected who used to be fishermen and ordinary people. Some of the soldiers have even become infected.

His sapphire eyes were still constantly monitoring, he was looking elsewhere in order to see more clearly. But what he didn't realize, the passageway had another turn containing another infected. Some of them shouted and directly chased after Fu Hua who was shocked to death. Their voices were like they were right next to his ears.

The sound drew the attention of the infected by the seafront, Fu Hua immediately climbed the wall without thinking of anything else, the same as when Xin Chen and Fox forced him to climb the wire fence. He ran as fast as he could without looking back, where the infected began to climb the wall to chase after him one by one from being infected in the harbor catching a noise and going after Fu Hua.

Fu Hua arrived near the boat, but due to too much panic he could not push the boat on the water. His heart was pounding, seeing thousands of infected surrounding him simultaneously. Eliciting a terrifying sigh that flowed within his chest, Fu Hua's blood froze. He can't move.

Fu Hua thought he was going to die. I really don't have the least chance to live. However a voice shouted to him, Fu Hua gasped.

"Find some shelter!"

Fu Hua hid behind a boat, then an explosion occurred. Sand flew, covering the view. Amidst the chaos a man in a black uniform complete with weapons came running, pushing the boat towards the shore while shouting.

"Ride up!"

Fu Hua who was still surprised reflexes followed the order, until the two of them began to move away from the beach there were still infected who tried to catch up. Fu Hua took a breath that he had been holding until he was tight. Didn't expect that someone would come to her aid, even if it wasn't Xin Chen.

His eyes looked back where the man was paddling the canoe. Full of cuts and bandage marks, but seeing from his clothes and rank Fu Hua could make sure the man was not an ordinary person.

"You who?" His first words when they started were a little safer in the middle of the sea. The man cleaned his teeth and spat out blood. He looked riled up, sweat never drying on his face.

"Anj*ng The banished Empire."

That answer coupled with a completely annoyed face, his facial line furrowed looking forward.

"You mean?"

The eyes of the man who was almost 30 years old were staring at Fu Hua, piqued amidst his frustration. "You seem like a new person, aren't you here?"

Of course because she had only known Fu Hua, when the girl teased about the thing that made her angry she was offended heavily. Fu Hua realized his mistake and corrected.

"I didn't mean to, but out of your clothes you must be a general."

"That was." The man hastened his paddling.

Quite complicated the man explained, Fu Hua even though he did not ask him to tell a long story. But because he crossed into the opposite city long enough he chose to listen carefully.

The man said that in the past few weeks Emperor Shi annihilated factions and parties opposed to him. That onslaught of movements had swept across the entire Wei Empire.

In just a short period of time, the new Emperor changed the Wei Empire for the worse. Can't be lied to anymore, the man has a very clever brain. Many people feel deceived but they seem to be tied up to nothing.

"That means the Central Military Faction you're referring to is destroyed?"

"Our base was blown up, weapons stockpiles were seized and members were taken into custody, some were killed and the rest fled." A bitter smile was carved, "one of them is me" the man closed his story. Feel more relieved after finding one living human to tell a story.

"You yourself? Which crazy girl who hit thousands is infected alone like you. I thought my eyes were glaring to the point of seeing either the wrong one or I was crazy, it really existed." Amazed at Fu Hua, the girl could hardly believe what she was doing. So reckless.

"I'm looking for something to heal my friend. Someone said that if I were in the New Laboratory I'd find it." Fu Hua stopped talking, thinking of introducing himself because it was impolite to speak without knowing the name.

"My name is Fu Hua, by the way" he said.

The man almost fell silent. "It's weird that you tell me your full name here. But since we're the only two humans left here, I'm telling you my name is Xe Chang. General of the Central Military Faction. I want to find the members of the Central Military Faction who escaped to gather again."

"I understand."

Xe Chang paused for a moment, "by the way about your friend that ..."

He held his voice, "He got a bite?"

Fu Hua, who had been staring at the ocean, looked back at Xe Chang, worried. "really. Already entering the third stage, his life could be threatened."

Xe Chang hesitantly said, "May I know whose name is it?"

Fu Hua was silent. After Xe Chang said it was not natural to tell names in the Wei Empire he began to anticipate. Xe Chang straightened out, "I just feel that person has the name Chen. He can survive an infected bite for several months."

"You know him?"

Xe Chang was similarly surprised like him.

"You're his friend?" ask Xe Chang. Of course he knew Xin Chen, they worked together to destroy the box from the B-1 Laboratory in order to stop the research that would definitely bring calamity to the society of the Wei Empire. Unexpectedly after the name of the young man was announced by Emperor Shi, Xin Chen actually came directly here.

"Yes, I'm here to find an antidote to the disease."

Xe Chang was again amazed, after recalling how the girl defied death and came to the New Laboratory alone, already explaining that to the girl Xin Chen meant a lot.

"Love can make the impossible possible, right?" he muttered, Fu Hua only heard faintly.

"What?"

"No, I'm just talking to the boat." Xe Chang cast a glance in the other direction, he was also the same as Fu Hua. Will fight for anything if it's about someone who means anything to him. Now, however, between small possibilities and improbability there is no difference anymore.

It took hours to reach the opposite city, where Fu Hua saw a bridge that was deliberately lifted to close the connecting lane of the two cities. That's why people in the city before couldn't come here.

"I'll find my people and join you, if you don't mind." Xe Chang said as he got off after making sure the boat was safe. Fu Hua descended, facing Xe Chang.

"Then I'll look for a cure at the New Laboratory. We'll meet again here and come back soon."

"You sure you can do it yourself?" repeat Xe Chang is not sure. Fu Hua nodded with great certainty.

"I can do it. Don't worry about me, find your friends and take them to our new hideout. In the next three days, we plan to conduct a massive assault on the center."

Xe Chang nodded, trying as confident as Fu Hua. "My friends might be held in the central prison, I'll bring as many troops as possible and search for a bigger ship. We meet here in two days."

The two began to walk in different directions, for different missions and the same goal.
