The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 65 - Finding a Drug Expert

Xin zhan looked at the man with a doubtful gaze, the one being stared at could only react with hesitation. He cleared his throat while removing the sword eye that had been eyeing his eyeballs.

"Look, I've been in this group long enough. Just so you know, we're this-"

"I didn't ask about your group. Don't waste my time waiting for other friends to save you." Xin zhan cut his sentence, the man was slightly stunned. But it soon came to a realization and sabotaged to speak, "We have many resources and pets. Also-"

"I don't want that. Are you deaf or what? Give me information about Yan She. I'm gonna go."

"E-uh?" The man's breathing stopped for a moment, his face turning pale. "For that one I know nothing."

"You said you've been here long enough, don't lie to me. I don't have much time." His insistence.

Again the sword eyes were aimed at him, without hesitation and barely injuring his eyelids. He did not dare to move a bit. The man occasionally stole an upward glance, when he felt his opponent was off guard he immediately ran out and sought help.

"Here, you fools! This monster was about to kill me -" The sentence was decapitated when it realized someone was following it from behind, much faster. He stopped and prepared to counterattack Xin zhan. In a large place like this his eyesight was much better. The two weapons clashed against each other, Xin zhan brought the sword pressure down so that his opponent would inevitably hold back hard. The blow just made his opponent's hand numb, the veins in his hand throbbing painfully. But he still did not open his mouth.

"Ahhah I know, I know! You're not gonna kill me because I have the information, are you? And hey! Is that dragon your pet? I've heard of it ... Right, you're-"

"To make sure you will feel death many times, dare to try? Your life now depends on your mouth."

"You won't get anything from me! Hahahha you think I'm that stupid, I don't give you the slightest secret, even with my life."

Xin zhan snorted, "It must be that person is around here somewhere. Or at the very least, I can find information on where the pill was produced from."

"There's no way hahaha, in a place this wide where I might find. Besides, the guard here can't be underestimated!"

The old warrior turned around and faced each other. Xin Zhan. "That means you're hiding it in a place that's hard to guess, then?"

He continued, "It seems like you are completely useless. All right, now it's your turn to die."

"Hey, hey, hey! Think carefully, wait!" The mouth was still open as the man's head fell on the grassy ground. Blood splashed from the end of the neck that had been cut off.

Somehow Xin Zhan's hand was so light it took the head. Not as usual. Perhaps a days-long fight against Xin Fai that was so violent made him come to grimace. The loss of his human sense that was always afraid of taking people's lives.

"It seems like soon I'll be no different than my sister."

Xin zhan turned a glance towards Ye Long, the dragon seemed to be in danger. A pointed spear pierced through his wings.

Ye Long let out a ferocious scream, it made the humans retreat in fear unconsciously. His voice echoed great. His black eyes turned blue, the puncture wound on his wings burning with blue flames. The moment the flames disappeared the wounds that should have been there had disappeared without a trace.

The great wrath of the black dragon caused destruction to the humans, no one expected that a great fire surrounded them in all directions. There was nowhere to escape, the dozens of trapped warriors could barely resist the high temperatures suffocating their lungs. Ye Long easily finished them off, his eyes adorned with lightning fury changed when he found someone staring at him from a distance.

"Sister!"

I don't know since when Ye Long started calling Xin Zhan Big Brother.

He hit the swordsman in front of him and stomped on the others without any guilt, some could still be alive and others died as a result of Ye Long's actions. The dragon approached Xin zhan.

"You left me with those anchovies?"

"I think I can get information from them. There's not a single piece of useful information I can get."

Ye Long took out a blue flame from his mouth, burning one by one the living humans until they fused with the ashes. One of the humans ran small and realized the person was not Xin Zhan's enemy stopping Ye Long.

Frightened, he spoke politely. It was obvious that the man was desperate, making him forced to approach Xin Zhan. The only hope for his life to be saved.

"Master! I've seen your fight, are you a white swordsman?" he stopped when he found a large enough demon next to Xin zhan. Perhaps twice as tall as an adult male, not to be there, which surprised him even more was the form of a demon that resembled a dragon that only he knew through fairy tales and carvings in the temple.

"For what ... Black dragon ...?" those dull eyeballs changed direction looking at Xin zhan, he could not believe his own conjecture. Perhaps what he had heard was word of mouth, but he was convinced that in the war seven years ago, it was told about a small black dragon who accompanied one of their hero children.

"Forget about it." Xin Zhan cut.

"Whoa! Please forgive my scepticism, sir. But can I ask you for help, my family is being held as hostages in a cage overseen by criminals. They've killed a lot of the villagers who live around here. Please help me ... My daughter and my wife might be sold into prostitution if I don't save them."

Then he knelt down quickly.

"I beg you..."

Xin Zhan who was also in a desperate situation barely answered. He brushed off his business. Seeing someone asking for his help, it was unyielding for him to refuse the man's request. He had the appearance of a peasant, perhaps even his life was in a strata carried away by the Shang imperial society.

"alright. Then show me where your wife and son are being held."

"Thank God, you're a really good person, thank you sir." His words were filled with tears. "Last time I was sneaking around to see them being taken to a place."

"Do you know where?"

"Of course, my Lord."

" Your wife and son have been detained here for a long time, haven't they? That means more or less you know the ins and outs of this place. Where do they usually keep such kind of pills, scrolls and important books? Or a place to mix drugs?"

"Eh ... If it was ... Looks like it's not far from the place where they took my wife's son hostage."

"I'll save them first."

The man took a breath in order to calm down, he was so scared when ye Long looked at him. "My lord, this way."

As they went through the steep incline, the shot of the arrows shot out profusely and nearly pierced through Ye Long's head. Xin zhan caught him empty-handed, scanning from a distance where the attack had come from. Unfortunately, the enemy is too shrewd in hiding. Or there was only one other possibility, that person was aiming from a very, very far distance.

Seeing the longer and more flexible size of the arrows, Xin zhan believes the bow is used for long-range shots. He urged them to continue their journey until they arrived at a small road. The high ground around the road leads up the narrow road.

Ye Long sensed the presence faintly and growled, seeing Xin zhan also knowing him.

"Stop in place!"

All of a sudden from the direction of the front and back they had been covered by a group of warriors who were quite different from before, some of them had strange bodies. Some even have hands resembling wolf claws. Xin zhan raised his head at a time when the high ground on both sides of the road had been filled with other warriors.

"I swear I won't let you die for nothing here."

His eyes stared intently at the warriors around them, waiting for only one commandment of their lives to be finished.

"We warn you! Should you give up quickly or your lives run out now?!" snapped loudly.

"Try doing it right now. Maybe you can turn around?" challenge Xin zhan. The man next to her was lashing out loudly.

"Master, don't joke!"

"All right! That's what you want!" he shouted in high notes. "Kill them!"

The arrows shot agilely towards one direction, where two people and a dragon stood surrounded. Ye Long growled furiously, flapping his wings to make the arrows flung in the opposite direction. The black dragon threw out a blue flame that further divided the enemy, even so they still attacked when they found the opportunity.

But out of the many arrows, not a single one hit the target, Ye Long burned everything mercilessly.

"We need to hurry. Ye Long, I'll take it to you."

"Rayrghh! Fight them again?!" Before they finished protesting, the two men had already left.

Xin Zhan did not want to spend more time serving the archer group, it could have been when he was busy fighting the enemy first run away from their hiding. Some warriors blocked the path by slashing long swords. Bloodshed just like that, Xin Zhan continued to attack while splitting the enemy herd.

Maybe looking for Yan She won't be that easy. He was not even sure if the figure of the Sunflower Pill maker was the same person he was looking for.

The cries of war echoed in the inner camp, no one hesitated to advance against it even when they saw dozens of their friends fall lifeless. The man who followed Xin Zhan behind shivered in fear, his lips unable to say anything but silence and following where the young man had gone.

"Le-by here my lord ..." The man pointed to a house made of high ground. There was no one standing guard there, Xin Zhan knew it was a trap. He stopped right before; um set foot in front of the gate, kicked at the door made of wood and at once a small dagger was thrown at him.

The small weapon stopped hovering right in front of him and fell making a noise on the ground, near the gate itself grew a large tree where a bloody murderer was eyeing him with a stern eye. He laughed out loud as he watched the two people survive the simple trap.

"Currently, only you seem to be intruders who use brains when they want to visit the enemy's house." He came down by jumping off a tree branch, his heavy body making a loud sounding tread. He did not carry any weapons and was only empty-handed when facing Xin Zhan and a man next to him.

"It seems that you are underworked until you dare to come here. Isn't this place hard to reach? Moreover, it is bounded by the waters of the river." I The assassin knew that his opponent was no ordinary person.

As a person who was born in the Qing Empire he knew better how to distinguish the people of the Shang Empire and the people of the Qing Empire. The killer snorted for a moment. "The original people of the Shang Empire, heh?"

"It's none of your business."

"That means right?"

"Do you know the answer?"

The killer shook his head and laughed defiantly while pulling out the sword he had been hiding. "No longer necessary. I already know the answer. You're not a part of them. The people of the Wei Empire wouldn't be open if it was about his identity."

"Oh."

"Bahaha!" His interlocutor laughed out loud, shaking his head several times. "The short answer is solid and clear, I want to laugh first ahahah."

Then the man suddenly changed.

He was getting ready with the attack position, his thick-looking body seemed difficult to penetrate with ordinary attacks. As usual the enemy always started surprise attacks at the beginning of the fight, Xin Zhan decided to physically fight with this man.

The flow of swords that the man possessed was beyond belief, he had a technique that resembled a war dance. Each of his steps had a unique technique that people rarely had. Xin Zhan was almost made fooled by his movements. He never did heavy attacks and only outwitted opponents endlessly.

But when Xin Zhan started to get caught off guard with the flow of the fight at the same time he attacked all out, Xin Zhan blinked as a blow and slash chased his body very quickly. Sparks of fire appeared every time his attack was broken by Xin Zhan. Long withstood the killer's attack, another surprise emerged. The man disappeared and was about to stab him in the back.

Xin Zhan retreated from his place and turned around, in this kind of situation his reflexes determined the flow of the match. So far none of them have been hurt. His opponent grinned widely and at that moment Xin Zhan only realized that the robe on his back was torn apart.

"Ch, you must have underestimated me."

Xin Zhan shook his head. "No, I'm just surprised by your technique. In the Shang Empire no one has it."

"Hm, sounds like a compliment. Hahaha, huh ... I was also lazy to fight. But the cursed parents told me to be like a slave. Truly an unsettling old man."

Xin Zhan put his weapon back in, "Why don't you just beat it up?"

"Good for you, not good for my life." Decih the man rolled his eyeballs, he was still with his weapon. The man's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the opponent holding a weapon.

"Hey, hey. You didn't mean to give up, did you? We haven't fought really."

"How can I fight against a man who doesn't even dare to kill me?" The young man's answer made him think for a bit long, it seemed that he had only realized that and could only scratch his nape.

"Ahahaha, fuck. You're hurting me." He stuck both daggers on the ground and sat in front of the gate. Still don't allow the two men to go inside.

"We have no intention of making peace with your people." That long thoughtless direct sentence instantly made the assassin's face change, he only sighed once.

"I've seen the way you fought. Terrible too. While I still have children and a wife at home, I'm not a death-defying fool."

"Then let us in. I need to save a woman and a child in there. And also someone named Yan She."

"Oh, the woman and the child were dead an hour ago. And I'm not gonna let you in." Suddenly he stood up, this time his face changed in emotion. "If the person inside dies you kill ... Then all will be the same, I will also be killed and my wife's child ..." His hands were clenched very tightly. The man's breathing began to fall apart.

"Fight me now, this time I won't mess with you. Even if we have to bet on life."

"There's no safer place for a killer like me than here. If you destroy my place then I don't hesitate to kill you."

And from there the fight begins between the two. With Xin Zhan's state of being severely injured.

As the enemy slashed the weapon, Xin Zhan raised both of his hands as if he was about to attack with a sword. What happened next, a knife stuck in the man's body. An instantaneous sudden attack took his life when Xin Zhan mercilessly slashed his neck.

"I'm sorry."

An uproar ensued, quickly Xin Zhan finishing off some of the guards in the room. Found a dead woman and a child lying lifeless. Surely they were the ones that the man had meant that asked for his help earlier. He picked up a scroll, put the scroll close to a small candle, read each sentence one by one. The letter only contains about the expenses and news of their group in various branches. There is nothing to be had but unimportant things. Even the information he wanted, there was nothing at all.
