The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 96 - Hold Your Promise
"Please promise me one thing. Go home and see mom. That's all it is."
Xin Chen's voice was the only one that sounded amidst the surrounding astonishment. The brown eyes looked at the shoulders of his son who was not far away. Xin Zhan retreated as he said, "I know how much he has struggled to help you. Please come back, Dad. If there's something you're afraid of, then we'll help you."
"Dad knows that. My two sons are equally great." The man's hand touched Xin Chen's shoulder and pulled him to face them.
"Dad home-"
Xin Fai flabbergasted.
When he was feeling guilty about Xin Chen, his second son was laughing out loud.
"Tu-wait, Dad. I want to laugh first." Xin Chen laughed. "This ancient threat still seems to be hahah."
Xin Fai exhaled patiently. He's bullied.
"Where might I go after getting to this point? You've survived and we just need to get home. Father's decision was right. We're back."
Xin Chen watched the surroundings where the dozens of members of the Four Surveillance Units spread out, carrying Qin Yujin's minions who had been tied up.
"Of course after taking care of them first."
"No need, Chen. Let me and the Four Surveillance Units take care of it. Rest a little and take care of me. Don't let anything happen."
Xin Zhan's stomach was accompanied by grubs around an increasingly rowdy. Xin Zhan took a decision that made Xin Fai dumbfounded on the spot.
The Qin Yujin men and spies, numbering nearly thirty, were on their fate. And their own fate was in Xin Zhan's hands.
Xin Zhan decided to finish off the entire person, without a doubt in every line of his sentence.
Those dark-black eyes stared mercilessly at the dozens of people who were being mass-murderly killed in front of him.
"Much has changed while I'm gone."
Xin Fai's speech made Xin Chen's attention distracted. He just stared ahead while thinking of one thing, "The sword will be better with me. I'll take him away."
When he said that he did not sound at all objected, it made the Demon Sword astonished.
"You know what you'll face if you take that sword with you."
"I've been carrying it for seven years. And I'm fine" Xin Chen said. Xin Fai suddenly realized something that made her laugh. "yes too. You can even defeat the Dark Dragon with your own hands."
"I'm still weak."
"Don't lower your head, Chen'er. You will be the leader someday. Lift your head. People need a strong figure to protect them." Xin Fai sat cross-legged next to her son, embracing Xin Chen's shoulders like her own.
"Not that. I mean Dad fought the Ice Dragon for just one Week. While I'm .. I don't even remember how long this war has been since it started." He added, "It's not just me who defeated the Dark Dragon. There were Brother Zhan, Shui, Huo Rong, the Four Surveillance Units, the Shang Empire's warriors and many more. I fought with them, Dad."
A faint smile was seen on Xin Fai's face. In his eyes, Xin Chen had changed a lot. He used to be nothing more than a nosy little boy. And now, the young man who was right in front of him had grown up. His way of thinking, his attitude and his manner. He could not believe that this person in his embrace was the stubborn little Xin Chen. More stubbornly rivaling her.
"We'll think about it when we're home. For now take care of this sword, once again."
Xin Chen accepted it with pleasure. Keep it at its best in the space ring. In the midst of a chaotic situation where screams and dying moans were heard over and over again, many of the enemies who tried to escape, crawled to and fro and ended up with their heads severed from their necks. Some of them were burned alive.
Including the body of Fu Qinshan who was branded as an enemy. His sister stared at the body speechless, her heart empty. Her tears were dry a moment ago.
I don't know if the decision he made was the best.
Only Fu Hua knew how sincere the woman looked after him. Without ever wishing for a return. Just like Fu Qinshan did to his master Qin Yujin.
In front of her sister's grave which was being burned by the magnitude of the blaze, Fu Hua swore on her brother's behalf.
"I have sworn to kill you, Qin Yujin. Now I have no reason not to kill you."
Her bulging eyes were wet with tears, tears without a sound that was more painful than anything. "Rest, Brother. Wait for me to finish with that dress*, I'll accompany you afterwards."
From the information Lan Zhuxian provided in his search, they discovered that Qin Yujin had left his base when Fu Hua was killed. No trace can be followed again. The man disappeared as if swallowed by the earth. Even the tip of his fingernails was not found in the least.
But they sent troops to conduct the search. Until the hot day rose to burn the Valley of the Gods. Scraps of bone and ash from the corpse began to appear, its burning flames shrinking ever smaller.
Lan Zhuxian crouched down in front of Xin Chen, "You survived, Young Master."
"Our plan was successful, but this victory is not the end. This is just the beginning."
Lan Zhuxian nodded, staring at Xin Fai for a few seconds in his admiration for the figure of the First Pillar. He was the heart of the Shang Empire. Lan Zhuxian already knew of the feud that had happened to Xin Chen and Xin Fai.
He didn't hate Xin Fai. I was amazed at the sacrifices that the man made. The Demon Sword just didn't want to bring calamity to the Shang Empire. Because the trigger of the war in the form of a heavenly heirloom was so 'hot' and now it has become a struggle for the Three Empires. No wonder the Demon Sword was so wary. Fortunately, his second son was able to withstand the departure of the man.
Lan Zhuxian had gone to take care of some things. While Xin Chen was just silently enjoying the wind blowing on the backs of the two. Feels peaceful. The tense days are over. It was only then that Xin Chen was able to breathe a sigh of relief. He seemed to be being chased by something frightening and managed to pass his own death.
"You have a lot of friends" Xin Fai said. The man was actually offending something else. 'The 'Friends' he meant were Huo Rong and the Fire Goddess who possessed the power of fire. The Lightning Fox and the Lightning God, the possessor of the Fire Force of Eternity, Shui, and many more were unknown to Xin Fai. I don't know how many more amazing things the young man will bring. Xin Fai didn't know where to say it from.
"About the Lightning Fox ... He's gone."
Xin Fai was surprised. How could that have happened. But considering the long war, Xin Fai himself did not know how the fate of the silver fox.
"What's going on?"
"Someone killed him when the Thunder Fox was at its weakest point."
"Then what are you gonna do?"
Xin Chen replied. "I will kill him and avenge a thousand times what he has done."
Those vengeful eye rays reminded Xin Fai of her in the past. Thirsty of revenge. He didn't want his son to be caught in the wrong way.
"Killing him doesn't change anything. You can't stop time."
Xin Chen interrupted, "Right. But I can stop the time. And there's a possibility that he's still keeping the stealth gem of the Lightning Fox."
"You mean somebody took it again?"
"After the Ice Dragon, and now a human?" xin Fai looked at his interlocutor from the side. Xin Chen looked over. "It's harder to find it in human hands than in demons. Humans can get him here and there. While stealth, we only need to fight one-on-one" he said.
The worry on Xin Fai's face seemed obvious. Xin Chen knew very well what was on the man's head and immediately spoke
"I'm not going in the wrong direction, Dad. I've promised a lot of people this."
"Have your promise."
"Surely."
