The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 205 - Meeting Back
"I think I'm remembering something..." Xin Fai half ran towards the pile of boards he had dismantled, just as he was about to open the board a swordsman was bullying him.
"Hey, what are you doing there?!" the man panicked.
Xin Fai stood around, waiting for the man to approach. No time to interrupt.
"Don't carelessly open–"
Sreerett!
The man's neck was cut tight, he had not expected an heirloom sword to suddenly appear in void air and kill him within a second.
"You hid his body fast!" Xin Fai turned to Zhuan Ang who still believed in disbelief in the act, before he had only thought of finding an excuse. Yet it seemed that in terms of taking the decision Xin Fai was already trained, killing the man was the best way so as not to ruin their plans.
As Zhuan Ang dragged the man's body Xin Fai took a sharp peek around him and found a tube-shaped object in which the air flow was visible, after peeking inside and realizing there was a hidden room inside Xin Fai immediately went around looking for a way in.
His footsteps stopped when a loud noise rang out, he pushed aside the obstructing lands and found a log under the ground.
His hand immediately groped the thick wood with all his might, he continued to do so until an entrance was seen there. Xin Fai turned her head towards Zhuan Ang who immediately nodded at her.
"Come in, let me take care of you from above."
A slight smile extended across his lips before going inside, he landed in a crouching state.
Seen a room that is only as large as an ordinary room plastered in front of him.
"Come back, huh?" A hoarse voice greeted him, like the sound of a throat that had never been exposed to water for several days.
"You made me tell you until the apocalypse I don't care..." Next, his voice vibrated. Soon it might be coming to pick me up.
"Senior Shen?"
The young man who was just wrapped in dry skin raised his face, his hair began to be long unkempt and his ribs protruded revealing the skeleton of his bones. He struggled just for the sake of being able to see the figure before him.
The sunlight from above made his eyes that had been for months unaccustomed to the sun feel pain and could not see the dazzling figure clearly. Shen Xuemei felt familiar with the call.
"Thank God, you're alive."
Shen Xuemei was unmoved, she could feel the calmness as the figure came. The chains shackling his neck and hands just slipped apart, Xin Fai was trying to recover the strength of the young man using his inner strength. Judging from his condition it seemed like Shen Xuemei had not been fed for days, her lips were also deathly pale.
Xin Fai took out five electric eels from the space ring then gave them to Shen Xuemei. "Let's eat, heroes like you have to eat a lot. Look at that thin, dry body of yours, Senior Li will definitely be very worried if you see this state of yours."
"You..."
"Xin Fai, Senior Shen."
Shen Xuemei's pale lips trembled in disbelief, she tried to see the look of the young man standing behind her. "It wasn't that day–"
"That day I disappeared, not died, Senior Shen."
Xin Fai actually wanted to ask how Huang Kun, Li Yong and the Lotus Temple were doing but that question was only a stop in his head. Perhaps he would ask next time since Shen Xuemei's condition was not very possible.
Shen Xuemei's state of affairs was much better after being restored by Xin Fai and also eating the electric eel. A moment only sounded silent before Xin Fai spoke. "I'm sorry, for giving you those stealth gems you should be targeted by them.."
"There's nothing to think about, if you hadn't given me that stealth gem I wouldn't have lived to this day."
His unrest was still not lost, not only Shen Xuemei was now in trouble because of it but also everyone from the Lotus Temple. Had he not come that day perhaps the fate of their sect would not have been this bad.
"I heard that Pastor Tao Wei died during the attack seven years ago."
Shen Xuemei's eyes had already begun to be able to recognize the face before her, it could be seen that Xin Fai had grown well over the years of not meeting her. "Fai'er, not because the death of one man makes you the most sinful." Shen Xuemei continued her words.
"There's no need to regret, after all you've saved a lot of people, don't forget that. Because they won't all forget it."
Xin Fai raised her face, never expecting the dashing-looking figure of Shen Xuemei to have now ended up being an admonishing scapula, however her heart also felt better after that. Perhaps all of Shen Xuemei's words were true and he was simply too late in his guilt.
"You can walk? Or do I want to carry?" Xin Fai's bargain, Shen Xuemei coughed lightly.
"You want to kill my pride as a man?"
"Hahahaha if you can't walk, I'm willing to carry you."
It was obvious that Shen Xuemei did not accept that if he had to be carried, he was trying to reach the exit by himself. Xin Fai helped her up and overtook a seemingly safe exit.
Zhuan Ang hurriedly turned his gaze back after that.
"We have to get out of here before they check this place out, I heard earlier it seems like they intend to take Shen Xuemei to another headquarters!" the young man panicked.
True to his words, he had just said like that a man whose appearance was so terrible appeared in the distance along with seven other people. They had just come and looked ahead where all that was visible was black smoke covering the view.
Xin Fai held Shen Xuemei fast, there was no other choice but to exit the main gate. Jumping over a high fence would only make them suspicious and it was certain that the arrows would instantly slide threatening to Shen Xuemei's life.
"What did you use?" Zhuan Ang frowned in surprise, he stared at the black powder in Xin Fai's hand.
"This smoke to escape, I bought it on the black market this morning."
A trumpet burst could be heard howling in the air after, everyone who was busy themselves stopped and put on a suspicious look. It seems that sound is a signal.
"Damn it, it looks like running away from this place will be much harder than solving the puzzle earlier."
Zhuan Ang and Shen Xuemei then understood why Xin Fai said that when he saw that in front there were dozens of people waiting with their weapons.
"You take care of Senior Shen, lest he be taken by the enemy."
"You sure you want to face them alone?"
"I've even seen a hell far more terrifying than this."
