The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 225 - Daan Village
"That-can't be..." The sword in his grasp fell down, Zhu Yue shook her head slowly almost in disbelief seeing that her village had now become a sea of fire. The roof of the house was eaten by a big fire, people ran into each other to avoid the broken wood on the road.
"Wait especially! Help them!"
The alliance immediately moved through the meadow in front of them, reaching Daan Village which was now in a state of slump. Hundreds of dead fighters were set on fire in the village square, while some lost their arms and calves to fight back.
"These vile men..." Xin Fai tightened his fist glaring towards the front, where the enemy was walking towards him in a defiant fashion.
"Damn you all!" zhu Yue's cry echoed across the street, her emotions growing uncontrollable as she arrived before the village gate. The man playing the sword recklessly made many gaps visible from him. It was easy for the enemy to surround the man until he could no longer put up a fight, then tie him up and take him away from the battlefield.
"Zhu Yue!" Xin Fai shouted out loudly, he was intending to catch up but the enemies in front of him were more urgent. Aware of not being able to break free to catch up with Zhu Yue, he started swinging his sword quickly against the enemy who was much more in number. They kept coming like there was no end. Although he could face all of them but with this much he was just like wasting time.
Dozens of houses were burned to the ground while others attempted to be extinguished by the Holy Sword Alliance. Some members helped evacuate the wounded and take them to the safest place while others repulsed the enemy.
Seeing the arrival of the enemy reinforcements immediately fleeing, none of them were left behind in the village.
Xin Fai twisted his body around the corner looking for Zhu Yue's whereabouts but the man remained invisible, he leaped onto the rooftops of the citizens' houses to be able to see clearly. For a moment he squinted towards the mountains, near which Zhu Yue was bound by the enemy. Not wasting any time Xin Fai immediately ran over there using her lightning steps.
A wood was set on the ground with Zhu Yue tied there, the man tried to break away with a murderous gaze fixed on the man before him. The man spat, exactly as mocking.
"After a long time you've finally returned... What about life in the city? Isn't that fun?"
"..." - ".His mouth was silenced furiously, Zhu Yue twitched her hands trying to remove the black cloth that bound him.
"You're so carried away with city life that you forget about your own brother's safety, hahaha. And look, when you're gone your whole village is in danger, Fighter Zhu."
"Other fellow Fighters will definitely kill you after this! Mu Rou, he's my friend! He promised to protect this village!"
"Mu Rou?" The man laughed mockingly, he moved his hand commanding his men. A moment one of the guards came carrying an object in a bloody white cloth.
"You mean her?"
Zhu Yue widened her eyes firmly at what was behind the cloth, it was the head of her Combatant friend. Mu Rou, she promised to protect Zhu Ye and her grandmother as long as she went to the city.
"Damn it! Where is my sister!? Where is he?!"
The long laugh sounded long enough and greatly made Zhu Yue panic instead of playing, already impatiently waiting for her to finally cry out loudly. "You-you! What was my fault until you did all this?!"
"You forgot? Back in your prime, you killed fifty of my friends at once."
"That's because you guys crossed our village very suspiciously!"
"When I was just playing around and I didn't think the troops I was carrying should die in your hands, now feel what I've been through."
The man continued a little. "And you must die too."
Zhu Yue tightened her back on the pole behind her, the crosswise Blood Devil Human sword ready to pierce through the skin of her neck in a few more seconds.
'Chairman Xin, why doesn't he just hide. This way the enemy will be after him as well.' Inner Zhu Yue was worried.
The commander of the army turned around while pulling his sword from Zhu Yue's neck, he turned his head curiously as the clattering of legs felt closer towards them.
"Who are you?"
"I, Chairman Zhu's subordinate." Xin Fai replied origin making Zhu Yue stunned. This lie made him confused about what Xin Fai meant.
"Well? You're his subordinate?" The commander laughed loudly. "Stupid ass! If he who is your superior can't face me, how dare you come to this place!"
"I was taught not to leave my comrades in the fight."
"Hahaha bullshit!" The man spit, almost hit his face. His large body posture became extremely high when dealing with Xin Fai.
The commander said. "You're too young, it's not good to waste your life for someone like him."
"And after all you came without a sword? Do you intend to replace your life with Zhu Yue's life?"
Not hearing the commander's answer the Blood Devil commander assumed that Xin Fai was too afraid to speak and chose silence instead. The man suddenly handed over his sword naturally along with a sly smile that fluffed.
"You can get out of here alive by killing your superiors. Hows it? Good decision, right?"
Zhu Yue turned the gaze toward Xin Fai in a panic, the situation becoming more complicated than she had imagined. If this continues then the life of one of them must be lost.
"Hm? You scared?"
"Master, I didn't come here to kill."
"Ah yes, you came here to be killed, didn't you?"
This time Xin Fai fell silent again making his enemy even more powerful, he drank the wine in the jug in one gulp. Then give his sword a second time.
"This is your last chance. Kill him, and you'll survive. Or if not you two that I've lost."
"Well if you tell me to kill, don't take those words back after this."
The commander let out a smile as he felt the sentence was dangerous.
Xin Fai swung his sword towards Zhu Yue quickly until it could not be seen clearly. The sword moved sharply severing the rope that bound Zhu Yue's hand, the man broke free from the tie and immediately pulled the sword along with the fighting aura.
"Damn! You-you!?" The man was grieving bitterly, yet still looked an arrogant expression on his face. "You think that Zhu Yue is capable of fighting me?"
"It's not Zhu Yue, but I will fight you myself."
