The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 208 - Rescue Mission III
The enemy stopped attacking them, there was a short pause in the fight. Their side was certain to lose if Shen Xuemei really could not be saved. The only way was a negotiation, yet it seemed that the Demonic Blood Man was completely unable to compromise.
While reading the situation Xin Fai approached towards Zhuan Ang who was directly facing Shen Xuemei and the swordsman who was holding him back. Moving a little, his throat was cut off.
"You want this guy, right?" The man's words made Xin Fai and Zhuan Ang flinch, there were so many possibilities that could happen in a situation like this. And it's all gonna end badly.
"Yes. You got a solution to mediate all this?"
"No compromising with him, you fool!" The man's friend's heart was heating up. However it seemed that the person holding Shen Xuemei hostage was not a fool, he simply took into account the words that came out of his mouth.
"You're aware of it, aren't you? Our position is equally unfavorable. On the one hand we want to make sure the hostage's life is safe, but on the other hand you also don't want the Blood Demon Man's members to be reduced because of me."
The man seemed to agree, though it was heavy hearted to say so.
The reduced number of members is very risky if one day the white flow comes back until they can not maintain their own headquarters.
"I'll give you this hostage alive, but on one condition." The offer finally began. "In exchange for his life, you must die." The man pointed at Xin Fai with a threatening look.
This offer clearly made Shen Xuemei wriggle, she did not want to live in the sacrifice of others. On one hand the man who held him increasingly strengthened the cleaver in his grasp, as if giving a warning not to fight.
Xin Fai gulped down his saliva heavily, he thought of all means to be able to deal with this complicated situation but all the possibilities he had thought of were completely useless.
"Reply answer or the life of this young man will be lost!"
The eyes of Xin Fai and Shen Xuemei met, when there was a moment of silence. Xin Fai put his sword on the ground and raised his hand.
"Take my life."
Shen Xuemei shook her head strongly, she really did not expect the situation to be this bad just for the sake of fighting over her life.
On the other hand Zhuan Ang cursed himself, this was all his fault and he wanted to make up for this all by dying with Xin Fai. The sound of screaming began to be heard, dozens of enemies began to come forward about to take their heads.
There was a slight whisper from Xin Fai's mouth, she continued her words. "If you can do it."
The enemy stopped running when he saw the sword that was originally placed on the ground disappear in one blink of an eye, for a moment they were confused before suddenly a vacuum appeared behind the swordsman who was holding Shen Xuemei hostage.
The heirloom sword slid down from within the void, plunging the man's body into the heart. Shen Xuemei then broke away with wide eyes, Xin Fai's strength was indeed extraordinary but this time it was far from logic. Really crazy, he thought.
"Fuck the life of the hostage! Quickly kill them all!" Their leader began to be unable to calm down anymore, he took over in the fight against Xin Fai who continued to wipe out the members of the Blood Devil Man.
But not walking the goods one meter turned out that his steps had been blocked by Ren Yuan. The girl had been after her life, she didn't care about anything else.
Demonic power was exuding in the air, suppressing the bodies of the enemies to make them stiff as they moved. On the other hand those who were not affected by the aura had no chance of winning either. The speed and strength they were fighting against was indeed far more terrifying than even the strongest demon demon.
On the other hand if they chose to retreat, it meant that the headquarters would fall into the hands of the white flow party again.
Having just unsheathed the sword on his opponent's chest, Zhuan Ang finally fell to his knees. He vomited fresh blood many times as a result of the poison that had been thrown at him.
"In times like these I can only be a burden..." Zhuan Ang gripped his sword tightly, he looked at Ren Yuan embarrassedly. There was nothing for him to be proud of anymore after this, in fact when he saw Xin Fai all the strength he had been arrogant about meant nothing before the young man.
Seeing that his remaining opponents were those whose strength below was close to that of a great swordsman or even equivalent to him, Xin Fai decided to use the Forbidden Book style.
"The Rain of Blood Illusion!"
The sky was reddened, the sound of crow's tearing echoed in the ears with the atmosphere gripping make the body goosebumps.
Nearly twenty great warriors were affected by this illusion, they stared so puzzled that one realized that this was all just an illusion.
Xin Fai looked before them, and the figure of the Red Devil just appeared behind his back. They all put up their arms ready to fight, a lookout in their eyes as Xin Fai raised his hand and lowered him down.
It was also raining heavily in the illusionary world, but when the rain hit them something was burning was excruciating. They tried to see more clearly, it turned out that this rain was like blood.
"This rain is like the blood of those you have killed, feel the suffering of all of them today and scream as hard as you can. No one will forgive sins like you" Xin Fai said. His glaring gaze made anyone would be frightened to see him.
"We have to find a way out of this illusion before–"
"Armghh!" One of his comrades screamed as a pool of blood devoured him down, he thrashed incoherently asking to be saved but no one wanted to help him.
From inside the pool of blood that looks only a man with skin peeled off, his eyeballs even hanging to make some people look at him pity.
"Hows it? Isn't that the suffering that you've been feeling for the people you've killed?" Xin Fai spoke again, his appearance in the world of illusion was terrifying. Like a human being who turns to the task of being a lifethrower.
Before completely eliminating his enemy Xin Fai spoke again, maybe this would be the last sentence they would hear.
"Remember today as a day of vengeance."
"At least tell me what your name is, so that I don't die curious in front of him." One of the warriors said limp, he resigned to the situation. In the world of illusion everything is controlled by the user, to run from this world they must break the illusion by killing the user of the style.
"Devil Sin-Eater. You can call me that."
The land that was originally flooded by the puddles was now turning into a sea of blood, Xin Fai and the Red Devil were floating in the air while they were all drowning together with deafening cries.
