The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 73 - Spirit Control Force

As Xin Zhan was busy serving a group of warriors outside, someone came carrying a large sword in hand. As one of the higher-ups of the Four Surveillance Units at the moment, his strength could not be underestimated at all. He had a fire element type whose strength could burn anything without a doubt. This type of element is quite dangerous physically, because one of the lives can be in threat if exposed to the attack.

That figure, Xuan Bi. He had spoken at the headquarters earlier with Fu Qinshan. Being one of Fu Qinshan's rivals, his hard work to earn their Master's trust made him better known as the Left Hand, while Fu Qinshan was his Right Hand.

A surprise attack came upon Xin Zhan who was now surrounded by a round of red flames of his rising upwards, trapping the target at one point and leaving him to die amidst the searing heat. Ye Long came to the head but he was a split second late because now Xin Zhan was completely trapped. He let out a loud sound that was enough to make his enemy tremble. Although it actually had absolutely no effect on Xuan Bi.

Xuan Bi turned away from the raging flames behind him, on the other side of his mind saying something else. He could feel someone standing behind him.

Xuan Bi looked back and sure enough, there was a shadow behind the increasingly thinning flames.

His power should have stopped burning after successfully killing the person within it or with one other exception, where there was one power greater than the Fire Dance technique.

From the light of the fire was seen his pitch-black eyes beating the darkness of the night, accompanied by the flashing Fire Flower mark changing color faintly to red and blue.

"Ti's... It can't be ...." Xuan Bi could not lie to his own vision, he did not want to believe that now someone was walking calmly through the fire circle that was said to be equivalent to the heat of the hellfire.

Xin Zhan's shadow vaguely grew stronger until his body appeared before Xuan Bi, looking at him fixedly with a murderous gaze, yet he still tried to calm down.

"What do you have to do?"

Xuan Bi was stunned, seeing Xin Zhan rubbing the back of his neck while glancing at the flames behind him that had been extinguished. A piercing smile accompanied by another sharp thump greeted Xuan Bi afterward.

"Attacking when your opponent is unaware of your presence? Interestingly enough, I was also in love with such a way of fighting. Isn't it fun ?"

"Ch, I'm your real strength, but it looks like you're a pretty tough opponent as well." Now that Xuan Bi looked enthusiastic, he drew his sword quickly.

"It seems you're really happy to play with fire. Then I'll be happy to follow your game."

Amidst the overcast atmosphere, with black clouds encircling the entire SangXu Village a sparkling blue light, Ye Long began to put up a fight against Xuan Bi. Suddenly a blazing blue flame circled around the dragon's body, making itself shine so brightly in comparison to Xuan Bi's red flames. The temperature on the ground suddenly rose so drastically, the hot wind seemed to hole his lungs every time Xuan Bi took a breath.

"Heh, what kind of dragon is this? I didn't expect that in this day and age there's still such a pet, quite interesting as well." Xuan Bi still looked ordinary, not his first time seeing something like this just that his opponent was a little younger than the enemy he had met before.

Compared to that there was no intense killing intent from Xin Zhan, he remained focused and calm at all times. In such a way it seemed that facing the aggressive Xuan Bi and being extremely hasty in the fight made him slightly superior to Xuan Bi.

The dragon took out back the Fire of Immortality that followed right after Xuan Bi finished his sentence, he retreated quickly and kept his distance as far as possible.

Not letting Ye Long fight alone, Xin Zhan and Merta attacked Xuan Bi who laughed happily against the two. Not a big deal to him, the man could dodge perfectly whenever an attack invaded him.

Xin Zhan was able to master the power of light so quickly, he created a snake stealth form that was so bright and nimble. Controlling the snake, creeping on the ground and eyeing Xuan Bi's feet.

A fierce battle continued between the three merska, Xin Zhan still could not punch a crushing blow at Xuan Bi. His dodging speed was far above average and also the human self-defense was indeed like an impenetrable metal stone.

*

Meanwhile the fight in the Valley of the Gods began to be unequal, although fighting both of them as well as the distant Dark Dragon could still dodge the attack and retaliate several times more terrifying than the two of them. The War God Spirit was severely injured, he had previously managed to cut off the tail of the Dark Dragon with a spirit sword and the wound would not regenerate.

Until that second the War God Spirit had used fifty percent of its power to sever the Dark Dragon's tail. Although it was only fifty percent yet to gather that power the War God Spirit took a long time, not to mention when Xin Chen suddenly stopped the flow of his spirit power.

The Dark Dragon's head successfully hit the War God Spirit, making it bounce so strongly. Huo Rong tried to help him but the Dark Dragon first slammed its tail on Huo Rong's body. Both are far enough away.

In such moments it could be said Huo Rong had run out of power, he never expected to win against the Dark Dragon and only hoped that his friend Xin Chen and the War God Spirit would have a way to overcome it.

But reality said otherwise, other than the Dark Dragon now appeared Xin Fai who was equally a nightmare, both of whom were the strongest humans and demons on the face of the earth. Xin Chen was already overwhelmed facing Xin Fai whose strength was like limitless. The man absorbed the natural energy around him, unleashed a high-level stance that should have consumed a lot of inner manpower and did so repeatedly.

While every attack that Xin Fai unleashed, even if it was able to injure Xin Fai's body but did not affect the man's movements at all. He did not slow down due to lack of blood, or feel pain due to scratching wounds.

Xin Fai said calmly, but the power around him exploded like a fire burning papers. "The Book of Seven Keys" he said.

"Thousand Full Swords!"

Xin Chen had only realized how powerful the stance would be if used by Xin Fai, slashes endlessly hunting after him. If the strongest object was faced with the attack it would be broken and shattered into pieces, caused by the flow of power so great that it seemed unable to be accommodated by a sword in his hand.

Xin Fai did not stop there, she continued to unleash her successive attacks. Xin Chen had no other choice but to take out a sword he had previously kept for fear that it would change hands. The greatest sword that was the beginning of the destruction of human civilization.

The greatest risk was if the sword fell into Xin Fai's hands, while Xin Chen did not have another sword good enough to withstand the man's attack.

Elsewhere someone with dark eyes and black continues to watch the fight can only grieve, he saw the son and his father who still survive to the end. Meanwhile in his hiding place, a spell is seen that will continue to weaken from time to time.

If this fight does not stop in the next few days, then in exchange he must die horribly.

"Currently, there seems to be no other way. The demonic sword has lost control. My control's only five percent left over him." The figure wearing the crow mask was stomping his legs restlessly, his fingers bending his desk noisily.

"Master, I've brought Commander Hu here. His condition was severe from being finished off by the First Son of the Demon Sword, but it could still be saved."

The figure was smiling behind his mask, "Hm? I happen to have a grudge against him, rather than die in vain would he not be the victim of my curse? He had no future to become for the Four Surveillance Units in the future yahg already guaranteed by Emperor Yin, Compared to that all he had devoted himself many years to arrive at the higher-ups position. It is time to show loyalty to you. Take her to my place ."

"Is ...." The figure of the girl wearing the mask whose voice was almost the same as Fu Qinshan guessed with breath as if stopping, imagining what would happen.

"Shut up and do as I command."

"Okay, I understand." The girl bowed before finally disappearing behind the darkness, she refocused her gaze behind the hideout where the entire fight was visible from a distance.

The very, very remote place was safe to build a headquarters and carefully crafted and thought out some strategic reasons.

Any type of attack will not be able to knock down its hideout, and neither the fighters nor the soldiers are suspicious because of its small shape.

The figure of the girl had returned so quickly, after being invited to speak new he said. "Hu Highness has regained consciousness. He will be brought to your place, Highness Dou Jin.

"Take him into the curse room."

"Well," said the woman and disappeared again as before. The masked man turned around, flicked his black robe and entered the room without any light. His figure disappeared in the darkness.

The illumination attached to the wall swayed in the wind, the stuffy air felt hot as Hu Xingye took a breath. Somehow he was able to survive the heinous murder that had befallen him while facing Xin Zhan. But it was no longer impossible for his comrades to save him, even to unite a hundred demons in one body was no big deal. Let alone reviving a corpse whose body had been dismembered.

The headquarters had been prepared in the Valley of the Gods to perform a summoning curse. The pitch-black-eyed man slammed his hand against the wall all of a sudden, the girl standing behind him understood nothing but looking down in fear.

While Hu xingye who was conscious saw the cuts and burns he received after the fight earlier. He did not quite remember what happened but one thing was certain, the person who did it was Xin Zhan.

"You pissed? Getting angry? Or desperate?"

"A-hah, shit. That guy, if I see you again, I'll make sure to twist his neck. Really..." Hu Xingye did not continue his grunt, near the figure he did not dare to talk much anymore. There is a problem between the two that makes it awkward.

Considering what he would ever do to Dou Jin was terrifying, just imagine that Hu Xingye wanted to immediately run away from the room.

"It looks like in a fight you have great power. What if I become my puppet? I'll make sure you'll be as useful to the Four Surveillance Units as you want. Hey, not a bad idea, is it?”

Dou Jin was a person filled with gimmicks.

The man's throat voice was like the voice of a monster who had not eaten for a week, Hu Xingye gulped roughly. His heart did not stop beating. Whether it's a compliment or just a word of encouragement, but he felt there was a danger behind the sweet talk.

"You've been battered to this extent and asked to surrender on your day of judgment. I'll make sure to tell you how much your sacrifice was for him. And you must avenge my kindness by being the strength to bring about the victory he wants."

Hu Xingye clenched his hands tightly, the veins in his hands were clearly visible.

"He gave everything for me...." Unknowingly the man shed tears, "But today I just remembered what he said that day, the day he came with the same kindness as I felt this time.

He said 'I was so worth’ and saved me from the pain I experienced from everyone, I guess this is the only chance to pay good for him."

“But can't I meet with Mr and talk directly to him ..?”

Dou Jin's tone with the crow mask began to sound even colder, "So you don't believe me now?"

Hu Xingye looked up, finding the horror had greeted him. If he could see the expression behind the mask it might be that Hu Xingye would faint.

"It's not just that ...." Hu Xingye again could only gulp. His back was cold and his shoulders were shaking violently. The killing aura felt so close that he could not catch his breath. He has a bad feeling, his life will not be forgiven. And another conjecture, Dou Jin did indeed want to take revenge on him.

"Then be useful to you sir."

The killer's Eve is pulled back by Dou Jin. Hu Xingye had not even understood the man's thinking path until now and was only able to follow his orders.

"With what? Being puppet? Then it's destroyed horribly? Even the Demon Sword alone was unable to take down those two people."

"Emperor Yin has entrusted us to this. If we fail to obtain the Demonic Human Sword and the Celestial Emperor Sword then he will only hold back the embarrassment. You don't know how many hundreds of thousands of soldiers he has prepared to kill them?"

Hu Xingye knew full well, militarily the Qing Empire could not be doubted. They had hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were enough to take down the Shang Empire. But this war was astounding, the Shang Empire did not collapse at all and still continued to survive only with the shoulders of two children of the Demon Sword.

Hu Xingye began to feel a threat as the man spoke while looking at her.

“Rather than expecting zero possibilities, adding more enemies to them periodically will make his Second Son run out of his spirit power. You will be the next spirit user-“

“Hey you've even taken out one and only died in one slash in that person's hand?!”

“at least I managed to reduce his 0.001 strength. Let's just say you're a little pawn to destroy the opponent's defense.”

“Wait-“ she stuck.

"Tu-wait, no! I don't want to be pulverized like this-! What does this mean, I have devoted my whole life to Master, wholeheartedly! But why-"

"You have sworn to obey your master's commandments. It's all for the sake of achieving what he wants, don't you owe him your life. Now give back the life that Master saved to her."

Hu Xingye fell out of the bed and crawled about, but Dou Jin immediately pulled out his collar and took Hu Xingye to the deepest room of the headquarters. The walls of the ground inside felt trembling due to the fight that was going on out there.

Seeing Hu Xingye was like a slave being played with, and the two mysterious people as well as the robed man stared seriously.

*

They finally arrived at a vast place surrounded by images of eyes accompanied by scrolls containing descendants of the Dou clan. In the middle of the dim room there is a milestone with a chain that is ready to bind people in the middle. The place is rather high and must be climbed by five steps.

Hu Xingye was dragged to the front of the milestone, both of her hands were pulled back and chained to the wood that was holding her body back from escaping. His neck was held back by an unusual thick iron. All the chains that bound him were like living creatures that were trapping him in their nest. The thick iron on Hu Xingye's neck would be flushed like metal being forged if she moved just a little. And the chains that bind him will be stronger to hold him from all sides.

"Would this curse really be useful? " the girl behind him slowly turned her body to the side, right face to face with Dou Jin.

"I guarantee this will work. You can hold my word, we just need more victims. It's just that this curse will be useless if I lose control like it did with the Demon Sword. While waiting maybe the control out there will be chaotic, if they manage to defeat our two main weapons then I can be sure we will lose."

"For that do I have to send a request for a collision?"

"Tell me that. Make this mess look so big that the people from the Shang Empire get even more frightened. I'm sure their Emperor was biting a finger of fear in his room ahahah.”

"Truly a dangerous man."

Five petingi from the Four Surveillance Units entered the headquarters, all five of them were warriors with great strength from the Qing Empire. Plans prepared so far will go smoothly according to those set. Plus, a little chatter they looked at the frightened Hu Xingye in the middle of the room.

"Just calm down, with this curse you will be part of the messengers of the gods. You saved a man from this world of lies. I'll put a request on Master for the highest position on you.”

Hu Xingye trembled, before she finally felt her throat choking.

Hu Xingye opened her eyes forcefully, she had no idea what made her do so. Just a few seconds after staring at Dou Jin's black eyes, his heart felt like it wanted to explode inside there. His eyes bulged as if wanting to roll on the ground accompanied by his bones that rattled. Hu Xingye screamed so badly, she cried.

It looked extremely pitiful, yet the sight only made the person in front of him laugh even wider. Cursed Eyes began to activate, this time its influence became strong as the surroundings of the place were also filled with painted black spies. They twitched, and came out into a black light, clinging onto Hu Xingye's body that was convulsing in pain.

The higher-ups who had seen his performance were quite satisfied, Dou Jin was indeed reliable. While another call forced them to leave immediately. Leave Hu Xingye, Dou Jin and a crow masked girl.

"Hahahaha is very, very funny, even a notoriously evil human like you has such a pitiful face!" He held his stomach, avenged vengeance.Toying with human emotions was the most pleasant thing. The sense of loss and despair that made Hu Xingye fall so deeply mired, she needed someone to avenge the anger.

While out there a lot of far more evil humans who want to use the sense of loss for destruction that he never even wanted to happen. Hu Xingye had originally only wanted to avenge his master's kindness, but the master's plan was far greater than what he knew.

The destruction of all mankind and a place where he has complete control over the lives of people. Upon seeing her, Hu Xingye realized she was looking at herself. He tried to tell her but it didn't seem to change anything.

Had Hu Xingye been able to break away at this moment then she wanted to run away, telling the world that the man she considered to be the Master was neither on the side of weak nor strong humans, either, he wanted to be a ruler who stepped on everyone. He would destroy these three Empires and become the ruler above the ruler.

However it was all too late, Hu Xingye could not feel her own body anymore. Only tears remained in both eyes,

The seal around Hu Xingye let out a black mist, a mist filling every corner of the room. Until that second arrived, Hu Xingye had lost her life. Replaced with the body of a spirit user figure whose strength was better than his own original collapse.

“Imagine if I created a thousand people like him, that person would definitely fall without a fight.”

The girl next to him looked down. Her eyes were hot and she tried to hide her fear. Under his cloak, the girl pulled out a knife. And directly stabbed Dou Jin from behind.

Dou Jin's eyes widened, in disbelief. The girl repeatedly stabbed him until his internal organs were severely injured.

The girl opened the mask on her face, seeing Dou Jin sprawled lifelessly with bulging eyes.

“Sorry, Brother. Just got here I followed you said.”
