The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 56 - Help Arrives

The moon shone brightly tonight, showing the beautiful light bias coming out from the crevices of cloudy clouds. It was dark in some places, and in some other places a ray of light illuminated just one place. The scent of war still lingered on the plains that bore witness to the endless war. Even when the two Imperial camps had killed each other for nothing now the war was still continued with another far more terrible fight.

The War against the Demon Sword and the Dark Dragon. And there the two remaining people almost fell down many times to face their respective enemies.

Elsewhere the news of this war has been heard to the ears of the Imperial advisors. The tapestry attached to the old elder in the grand room of the center of the Shang Empire flinched. His voice almost filled one room. Those always serious wrinkled faces shriveled deeply. Not surprised but still calm thinking about the right strategy to deal with this unexpected situation.

"Call all the surviving former Imperial Pillars. And all the greatest warriors who ever contributed to this Empire. Make sure they have the strength. Don't send any more soldiers, it's useless than adding to the casualties."

And the afterlife command was spread throughout the entire Shang Empire in such a fast period of time. Downstream alternately, the rumors sounded soaring. All the people could feel an unusual tremor from the edge of the Shang Empire. It is the Valley of the Gods where the intended fight is taking place.

What made them almost in disbelief was the presence of the second son of the Demonic Sword who was said to be facing the Dark Dragon and the Demonic Sword together with his brother, Xin Zhan. Many thought that the two sons of the Demon Sword had been killed before help could be delivered. The reason why no one was able to help them, was because so far the troops sent to the battlefield were only those who had the status of soldiers. Even if there was a swordsman who was truly an expert in swordsmanship, no one would be able to rival a Demon Sword.

And it is likely that 99% will die in vain there. Therefore the great general brought back the troops, including the members of Unit One who rebelled wanting to help Xin Chen. The fight was already far from the control of humans like them.

Fear, anxiety, worry and danger have mushroomed throughout all walks of life. If it were true that the two sons of the Demon Sword failed to dispel those two greatest enemies, soon the Dark Dragon would fly in the skies of the Shang Empire and burn the entire empire into a sea of blue flames. Just like Renwu City.

Of course the nobles and important people of the Empire would not allow this to happen. Their homes could be ruined. Because of this, they allocated huge funds to bring out relief forces in a short time. Plus, there were two other Earth Ruler Demons that had transformed into humans among the merska. Believe not believe. Huo Rong and Shui. The Fire Salamander and the Water Dragon.

Thanks to the great general, the identities of the two demons were known to only a few people despite some of them knowing the truth. The less one knew, the safer the two Earth Ruler Demons would be.

Recovery with all resources has been done to restore the power of those two demons. Both of them had not woken up since they were brought to the center of the Empire in a state of unconsciousness. The last attack they got was so fatal that it had to be taken seriously.

As the night went up, Huo Rong and Shui woke up full of question marks. They had been on a land full of blood and now woke up in a warm and comfortable room.

Just like Huo Rong, Shui was confused.

Thinking about how the fate of Xin Chen and her brother who had never even slept and eaten since the first day they were sent to war. Indeed, for a warrior like them, eating or drinking can be detained for a certain period of time. Until their energy is completely exhausted, then there Xin Chen and Xin Zhan will fall.

Huo Rong rebelled wanting to return to the Valley of the Gods, being held captive by the Imperial guards. So did Shui. The clan nobility who saw their behavior said that the relief troops would be ready to leave tomorrow morning blind. Two hours after midnight. To arrive at the Valley of the Gods when the sun begins to rise.

The fast-paced horse race challenged the storm that appeared in the early hours of the morning. Penetrating the cold of the night wind that goes to the bone. From a distance, a great tremor was felt again. Puddles of water shook causing waves that spread until finally destroyed when the horse's footprints passed.

From that pitch-black midnight, the party of a thousand greatest warriors of the Shang Empire was filled with endless tension. Then from the path where they could see in the night sky, the shadow of such a huge dragon was roaring and ferocious. His voice sounded increasingly clear, breaking the guts of those who did not dare to face the ferocious demon at all.

In the past, the only strongest Demon they knew of was the Ice Dragon. But it seemed that the Ice Dragon was completely incomparable to the Dark Dragon. If ice could be melted with fire, then the Fire of Immortality belonging to the Dark Dragon would not be able to be extinguished with any water. It's simple, but it illustrates what they all think. That there was no way they could win against the dragon.

The former Third Pillar of the Empire, the woman was stunned as their horses raced ever closer to the Valley of the Gods. Through the steep crevices between the hills that had turned charred. The road that was passed became much more dangerous. The heat is killing them more. The flames of eternity spread out in all directions, there was almost no route to escape the flames. In addition to breaking through.

Breaking through on your own is a crazy idea to kill yourself. The relief party stopped in front of a fiercely enlarged Fire of Eternity burning the remains of the corpses on the ground.

"We can't get through this!"

"What should we do?" Asked the woman to a man who looked so old - or even almost called an elder.

"We're using those two demons to help us get through this fire."

Huo Rong spurred her horse closer to the man, her subsequent talk sounded like a threat to the surrounding humans.

"The hot temperature here is able to melt your skin. If you want to fight there, at least prepare yourself to make a shield on your own body. There's no guarantee you'll be safe there before you help those two."

Then Huo Rong and Shui changed their forms to the form of the Earth Ruler Demon. The gigantic size was indeed not as big as the body of the Dark Dragon, but both of them were able to make the demon that would be their opponent get sidetracked.

There was a voice from Huo Rong that was a sign that she was challenging the Dark Dragon. Retorted by the dragon. The killing aura was increasingly ruling the surroundings.

Meanwhile on the other side the warriors were stunned when they realized suddenly Xin Chen was already in their midst. Almost dislodged the elder's heart when he saw Xin Chen bring the face of the creepy face closer.

"Hurry and help my brother. He had difficulty facing the Demon Sword alone. I can handle the Dark Dragon with those two Demons."

Then they nodded in understanding and went straight through the land filled with blue flames, to the place where the black fog ruled the entire place. A thousand people were riding slowly, not knowing what exactly was waiting for them behind the black fog.

And when his partner horses split, a figure that they respected so much was clutching a head in his hair. The man who now had only the head left was one of the greatest warriors of the Shang Empire. He was once tasked with leading important missions in border fights and bringing home the victory.

Even a person who did not seem to need to blink could lose his life in the hands of the Demon Sword. All were glued in silence. Clearly looking at the Demon Sword looked different than usual. And on the arm of the man's hand appeared something unusual. Black Eyes. That's what they saw at a glance. Those eyes twitched, making some of them amused and disgusted.

Then Xin Fai raised her face. Scanning all his new enemies numbering approximately one thousand. It was not a difficult number for him to destroy.

Without warning, Xin Fai attacked. The leader of the troops raised his sword, stating the fight had already started ever since Xin Fai swung his sword and instantly killed three people mercilessly.

Three minutes. The squad leader was stunned to see two hundred people instantly die mercilessly at the hands of Xin Fai. I can no longer imagine what they are facing now. It's really a disaster. All the troops he brought in had abilities far above average. Most of them even have a history of great achievements. But all of that seemed insignificant in Xin Fai's hands.

The figure of the hero who had been standing by their side had strength far beyond their shadow. And until the last time the man winked, Xin Fai had killed ten people at once.

An hour - no, even ten minutes - maybe the entire relief force he brought would be exhausted. That's exactly how he thought. Then why is this guy still here? All he saw still lingering was Xin Chen. It was possible that Xin Zhan took part to face his father. But the man was doubtful whether Xin Zhan was still alive considering the strength of the man was far beyond the common sense of a human.

Killed two hundred people in a very short time. Xin Fai was like he was no longer human.

"Remain attack!! Don't back down or we'll all die!"

In a single move Xin Fai could unleash hundreds of attacks that killed a hundred percent of anyone around him. In the meantime, retreating would mean nothing. Xin Fai would still kill them sooner or later.

The chains from Xin Fai moved wildly above the ground, wrapped around several adult males at once and tied tightly until their bodies broke apart scattered over the ground. Too sadistic. But that was Xin Fai's true fighting style.

The man was out of steps. Like a chess game, little by little bit at the meal and the king was in a cornered situation. His mouth was tightly shut, unable to take another step but to retreat but his army was massacred all out by Xin Fai.

Until no more than half of them were left, someone came from the opposite side. The darkness of the black fog made the red sparks rays on his forehead clearly visible.

"Young Master Xin First?! You're still alive?!"

It sounded disrespectful but how else, the elder man could hardly believe Xin Zhan's figure was able to hold a person as miserable as Xin Fai alone for 24 hours. After facing the man with his own eyes it was impossible for Xin Zhan to be able to do so, even though he knew that the young man was indeed very skilled and a genius at playing the sword.

"Resert. Dad's sword technique is very dangerous. For those of you who don't know how he played the sword, it will definitely be killed immediately without having time to attack."

What Xin Zhan said was floating in his ears. The old man was only able to see Xin Zhan come forward facing his own father. There was no doubt in his two eyeballs anymore, his steps were steady and his body was upright. He had just gone through some terrible things and made his heart stronger against the man who was still his father.

What the man could do was to withdraw the troops temporarily. Xin Zhan started to raise the sword, just as he moved the sword towards the opponent, a fierce fight resumed.

The male's eyes flashed brightly, he saw clearly as Xin Zhan slashed the eyes in Xin Fai's hands until those eyes disappeared.

Xin Zhan's goal was to erase that eye mark. Quickly the elder swordsman shouted.

"Stop the black eyes on the Demon Sword's body!"

Twenty of the men in the army were excellent archers. They all released arrows that almost all stuck in Xin Fai's body.

"No ... No, this is too rough. You could be dead." Xin Zhan told him to stop but the old man moved his hand ordering his subordinates to continue shooting.

Xin Fai's body was pushed several times as a result of the arrows that continued to stick in her body. He swung the sword in all directions but still hundreds of arrows were still hitting his body.

Blood poured out of his body. Xin Zhan could hardly believe it. He saw his father's back filled with arrows. Hot eyes. The man spewed blood. As Xin Zhan looked, in some of the arrows it contained a deadly centipede poison.

"Stop!"

"You are no longer wiping out those black eyes! You want to kill my father!"

Then the next answer he got actually made Xin Zhan numb. I can't believe what he heard.

"Right now the Demon Sword has become a great disaster. If it is possible to abolish it before destroying the Shang Empire, then we will kill him. This is an order."
