The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 196 - Illusion of Blood Rain
Sparks splashed as the sword complaints grew heavier, Xin Fai and his opponent retreated five meters back.
"Chairman, you don't have to bother intervening anymore. With my power alone is enough to kill this filthy rat."
"Alright, do as you please. I don't care about him anymore either."
Fellow Liang Hui nodded slowly as he cast his gaze at Xin Fai.
"You can die with respect in my hands, no need to regret it after this."
Unexpectedly Xin Fai instead threw the sword in any direction making Liang Hui speechless for a while, his forehead creasing in astonishment trying to guess what was about to happen.
Even though the sword had fallen and stuck to the ground nothing happened. Liang Hui's puzzled face became slightly bright as he could guess for sure the reason Xin Fai did so.
"Well, would you give up? Or are you so confident in your strength and want to fight without a sword?"
There's no answer. The wind blows hot mixed with fishy make the lungs feel tight. Liang Hui waited a bit longer and began to impatiently look at him.
"Vice Wu, just kill the boy. He's just wasting my time!"
"You haven't seen the actual show. Do you want to end this?" After a long silence the young man finally spoke calmly, the demonic power that had been radiating from his body had become even stronger and even began to impact a great swordsman like Liang Hui. The man could feel his shoulders being so heavy under such pressure.
Liang Hui had just realized that the foreign energy that had been radiating from Xin Fai's body was the same demonic power as the man-made Demon Man power in their headquarters. He gulped a coarse gulp increasingly realizing what was about to greet him after this.
The sword belonging to Xin Fai that was originally stuck on the ground disappeared.
"Forbidden Book - Dimensional Space Transfers."
A black space appeared in void air until a sword came out from there and darted sharply into the heart of the vice of Black Blood in less than a second.
Liang Hui's mouth opened for a moment looking at this inhuman strength, he realized his mistake was looking for trouble with the Demon Man figure who had returned from his death while in the Mist Forest. The man intended to run away using his fastest Lightning Step and report this to the superior.
But unfortunately Xin Fai did not let him leave just like that. "The show's not done yet, old man. Can you wait a minute?"
"Wait any minute for my life to float!" liang Hui exclaimed unconcernedly at Xin Fai who was chasing just as fast. The man cursed inwardly after previously underestimating Xin Fai, a hint of embarrassment began to come upon recalling the words of the taunts he had spoken earlier to Xin Fai.
"Hahahaha, you're scared like you're seeing a ghost!"
Liang Hui wanted to curse again, Xin Fai was not only a ghost but more terrifying than a ghost. The man's heart grew increasingly racing as his steps were successfully overtaken by the enemy. There was no other option he was facing back trying to put up a fight to outwit.
At about the same time that Xin Fai also carried out a brutal attack, Liang Hui greeted him and fended off so easily.
"Wrong. You should have looked behind you."
Subconsciously Liang Hui followed the words and when he managed to look back another strange move appeared.
Liang Hui gasped in shock and reflexively fended off a sword that had emerged from void space. He looked at the ceiling that turned red with a rain of blood and realized this was just an illusion. The man tried to be as calm as possible.
This illusory science allowed Xin Fai to control everything as he pleased, he disappeared from before Liang Hui and appeared instantly behind the man's back.
Liang Hui could be aware of the movements around him, he repelled the incoming attacks but another round of attacks came besieging the man.
The blood rain that originally seemed ordinary began to pour down on the earth, the drops of blood were like poison that burned his skin. Liang Hui did not find a place to shelter from this blood rain, he felt tremendous pain as the torrent of this blood rain touched the surface of his skin nonstop.
While in the real world now that only Liang Hui could see screamed out in astonishment, the man thrashed endlessly. The rain of blood was like a murder carried out by slashing his skin little by little until finally all that was left of his body was just a skeleton drenched in blood.
The Red Devil appeared amidst the blood rain, he hugged Liang Hui from behind while licking his tongue. "I finally got one soul after all this time..."
Xin Fai blinked his eyes, in the real world at this moment Liang Hui's scream grew louder and louder, making the fight around him stop. The man rolled around trying to relieve the pain that had afflicted him since.
"You're going to hell with me."
Shortly after the Illusion of Blood Rain ended with Liang Hui's body falling lifelessly sprawled, there was not a hint of a gaping tear on his skin but the man had died a moment ago in a very horrible manner.
Xin Fai lowered his sword while looking back where the enemies were staring at him was extremely trembling, imagine already how death they would get if to die at the hands of that young man. The rest of them simply gave up their lives at the hands of the Sacred Sword Alliance but the others tried to resist and looked for loopholes to escape.
The previously raging demon beast began to have difficulty moving as the alliance fused half of its strength and annihilated them at full strength. Not playfully the effort that the Holy Sword Alliance put out in fighting the Black Blood. They are really brave men who have lost their sanity. There was no longer any fear of death in them.
Xin Fai paused for a moment to let out a mentally draining demonic power from earlier, his physique also received a heavy burden while using the Blood Rain Illusion. And again when he saw Liang Hui's body he remembered the man's words.
"Am I still standing on the right path?" he muttered softly, for a moment he recalled Xu Ming's words. The path of being a swordsman is still very long and he is worried that he is even mired in a perverse way. Xin Fai looked up looking for answers above the gloomy sky. The grudge of the death of his entire family would not go out even more when he killed the Blood Devil Man.
Maybe someday he will lose control with this power, but he has promised to kill those sins anyway; they are Blood Devil Man who has taken everything from him.
As he busily dissolved in his own daydream Zhu Yue patted his shoulders slowly, he smiled faintly.
"There's nothing to be afraid of, Chief..."
The man looked back followed by Xin Fai. "From the beginning we have chosen this path, living to kill sins as you say. I don't care if after death it should be thrown into the abyss of hell though, as long as only we feel it. If my family can live safely after I die, I think it's a good enough payment."
"Yes... You're right" Xin Fai said. "We are just sin-eating demons. Live for peace and die in blood."
Zhu Yue nodded slowly, she moved following her heavily injured friends after this fight. Black Blood had already completely lost and ended today. Xin Fai breathed a sigh of relief, she felt her decision of accepting Yong Tao's offer was not entirely wrong.
At least if it should be thrown into the abyss of hell later he brought 87 people who came with him. Xin Fai laughed at the thought of it all.
