The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 246 - Death is Absolute
"Hoi, stupid!! Got my head, Huo Rong b*ngsat!"
"Calm down a bit, you invited your brothers here, Shui."
"My handsome face.."
The Water Dragon raised the water where it stood, the infected under its feet would not be able to reach Shui in that height. Unlike Huo Rong who had already used the original form of the Flame Salamander, the Salamander could easily finish off the human who looked like that ant.
"Handsome no, burik yes. Any girl would like you anyway."
Huo Rong did not stop babbling since this morning, upsetting Shui.
"There is," Shui said. But he himself thought. Come to think of it even men who tease her for thinking Shui women. Shattered already Shui's self-esteem as a man. He did not want to tell Huo Rong that, instead of being concerned that Salamander would mock him day and night.
"Grandmothers, right?"
"Just kill you!" Shui changed a form that was on par with Huo Rong, his intentions wanting to collide. But suddenly a voice stopped the flow of the debate.
"Shui, Huo Rong's. What are?"
Shui looked down, it was Xin Chen.
"Gotong royong."
Xin Chen with spirit power floated in the air, looking down where a huge hole was created. Very deep, if you fall there certainly will not be able to crawl up.
Shui used the power of his water to hang a human they called a 'bait' in the middle of a giant hole. The infected who chased the human smell fell one by one into the.
"Get him out, I'm gonna burn him."
Huo Rong took a breath, her mouth was going to spurt fire in a moment.
"Because of my hair again I slap your ugly face back and forth."
"Eat him watch out, lizard! Even the table there, I don't know if it's useful."
Xin Chen noticed the poor cooperation between the two of them. The human being that Shui fed is a living human who happens to be overwritten by bad luck. He was one of the soldiers of the Shang Empire, but Shui and Huo Rong would definitely not let that human die.
Some wood and inanimate objects were thrown into a giant pit to be burned with the bodies.
The way of exterminating that intelligent enough made Xin Chen amazed. Shui said all of this was Huo Rong's idea.
Combustion began. Fire Salamanders spewed out massive amounts of fire, which instantly ate wood, twigs as well as items inside the hollow ground. The bodies inside were burned by the fire, but many still survived at that temperature.
"It takes at least half a day to shut them down with my fire" Huo Rong said slowly, indeed burning the humans was not an easy matter. Xin Chen himself had trouble killing only one, especially now that Huo Rong had annihilated numbered in the thousands.
Xin Chen helped Huo Rong, channeling the power of fire into a giant burning pit. The flames surged violently, the two forces mixed together making the corpses even more turbulent.
Even when coupled with his strength the two of them still needed at least three hours until the corpses were burned to the ground.
At least the area where they are located began to clean even though not one hundred percent. Xin Chen retraced to the ground, propping up the body of the soldier who had started to limp. Shui and Huo Rong returned to human form.
"You okay?"
"Ti-it's okay, Second Young Master Xin." The man could not even stand up straight because he was so afraid. Until he finally fainted unconscious.
"Came, Shui. You get her back, where did you kidnap her?"
"Oh, in the fort there. Let Huo Rong alone."
"Have I lured the corpse, I burned it, and now I'm the one who dropped the bait? Keep you?"
"Look-Look Part, let's go!"
Shui blurred as fast as lightning, Huo Rong was willing to give chase as well as useless. Indeed the water dragon likes as good as jidat.
Xin Chen was still looking down at that hole so deep. The bodies burned. There was still the sound of flames eating human bones down there.
"This is how I got it when the previous plague happened."
Huo Rong's speech caught Xin Chen's attention, she turned her gaze to Huo Rong.
The demon explained, "It used to be this plague, all humans are on the brink of destruction" he said.
"That means you know that these humans can't be saved?"
"You know the way the Son of the Devil did it to stop all this, don't you?"
Huo Rong had no idea where Xin Chen knew it from.
Huo Rong was speechless, both of her eyebrows were clutched, both of them started to enter into serious talk.
"No, don't know."
Xin Chen knew Huo Rong knew something.
"Say, Huo Rong. If you know how to burn them, you also know how to stop this. Feng Yong said something about the seal of destruction or something, but his memory was not very clear. I need an explanation from you."
Huo Rong hurried away, "There's a lot more work, next time we discuss."
"Don't avoid talking!" Xin Chen raised his voice involuntarily. Huo Rong stopped and turned towards him.
"There's nothing I can say, okay? You better stop Qin Yujin! "
Xin Chen was more and more aware that Huo Rong was indeed avoiding him, she clasped Huo Rong's collar.
"Say."
Huo Rong retorted with a fist, successfully hitting Xin Chen's cheek. Fire against fire, it is certain that both of them will be noisier. Shui suddenly came back, knowing the two were fighting and breaking up.
"What the fuck are you, damn it! I told you not to know, your ear is just a decoration or what?!"
"You're hiding something, Huo Rong. No one will kill you if you say it!"
"The problem is if I tell you you're going to die!"
Shui nodded, Xin Chen lowered his fist.
"Tell me," Xin Chen said. Once again Huo Rong denied it was certain that the young man was furious. Huo Rong explained furiously.
"The seal of destruction that the Sin creates is a supreme level power that is even greater than the fourth stage Spirit-Controlling Book."
Huo Rong emphasized.
"It takes days to prepare it as well as a human container that has enormous power to contain its power. It was not just anyone could activate the seal. When the seal of destruction is released, all infected will die."
There was a growl before Huo Rong continued, "But as payment, the user of the Destruction Seal will die."
Shui hurriedly looked at Xin Chen and knew what made Huo Rong go berserk.
"You're not going to sacrifice yourself, are you, Chen?" ask Shui.
Xin Chen did not answer. He was reminded of a coffin containing a red-eyed figure with a demon horn in the old castle. That demonic figure was no ordinary human, the power so great within him was able to make Xin Chen tremble. It was certain that the demon was much stronger than Xin Chen.
But he remained dead after using the Destruction Seal. The demon made itself a container to hold the power of the Devil's Tears, then wiped out millions of infected people until the end of his life.
"Don't think you'll make it, Chen!" Huo Rong snapped loudly, "That is the Seal of Destruction with the highest level of strength. You understand what I mean?! Even if you are immortal, or you protect the body with the greatest spirit power, or you fight with two legendary swords, no one will be able to save you. In front of the Seal of Death Destruction was Absolute! The end of all this is your death!"
"If my death can save millions of people..."
Shui looked at Xin Chen, the sadness in the young man's eyes made Shui's eyes watery. Xin Chen was her best friend, they were familiar with each other for a long time.
"The chen..."
Huo Rong clenched her hands, Xin Chen's current figure reminded her of a human who had once been her best friend. And even when he died, the corpse of his best friend could not even be seen.
All human endings are always the same; death. And it would continue to repeat itself to every human Huo Rong met.
Xin Chen looked at the two, smiling faintly. "I have to go, by the way. Emperor Yin must be waiting for me. Sorry for yelling at you, Huo Rong. Make sure you take good care of the Four Surveillance Units after this disaster."
Shui and Huo Rong were both silent, there was no more fighting between the two of them.
"I'll go first."
Xin Chen left without waiting for the response of the two.
"I hope this isn't the last time we meet" Huo Rong whispered as she stared at Xin Chen's departure.
