The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 227 - A Figure in the Past
The shadow of the figure of a man in a battle suit was seen before him, Xin Fai tried to recognize the man for quite some time until he finally remembered a man with the Night Wolf demon. Some time they just exchanged glances without anyone taking the initiative to start a conversation.
Zhang Bingjie first let out a voice. "You've been so much stronger than the last time we met, with that power it's not impossible to defeat me, is it?"
"You're still in their group?!" Xin Fai held his anger in his heart, Zhang Bingjie should have quit the Blood Devil Man and become a wanderer to atone for his sins. Just know that the man even betrayed and actually made the same mistake.
Zhang Bingjie took a heavy breath, his burly hands holding the scorpion tattoo marks on his chest along with a blank look. "I can't let this body be taken by the devil in me..."
Unwilling to listen to the defense again Xin Fai pulled her sword tip in annoyance, still distrusting her now-reasonable interlocutor as if she had no other way to survive.
"If I don't kill, this tattoo will torture me. The devil in this body will swallow my soul, what do you think I should do?" Zhang Bingjie commented a bitter smile. "I'm just waiting for you to grow up and die in your hands. That's all I can do."
There was a sudden silence between the two, Xin Fai still put on a sharp gaze but before long he unsheathed the sword challenging Zhang Bingjie. "Wake up, we'll fight to the death. If you want to die in my hands, then fight me with all your abilities."
Zhang Bingjie nodded slowly. The man raised his face.
The morning sky darkened in an instant, a cloudy wind came as the fight between Xin Fai and Zhang Bingjie began. The heavy sword fight started and happened for quite a while in a balanced state, Zhang Bingjie's swordplay that had gotten better after the past few years, he was indeed completely undeniable. The more fatalities fell on his hands the sharper the man's sword was.
Moreover, Zhang Bingjie's movement pattern became extremely watchful, he realized Xin Fai was still hiding his strength and was only using a few percent of his strength for the sake of seeing through his abilities. Xin Fai's footsteps began to retreat from the start of the fight with Zhang Bingjie, the man urged incessantly.
Having no other choice Xin Fai increasing the speed of his swordplay, Zhang Bingjie was stunned for a while yet he was still putting on a high concentration. The man did not open the gap at all making his enemy have no chance to attack.
On the other hand Xin Fai did not want to expend his inner strength, he wanted to test his own sword skills. In reality despite having fought for quite a long time Zhang Bingjie's footsteps were not at all daunted, the man had actually grown stronger if cornered.
"You're trying to test my strength, hm?"
"You could say that, Uncle."
Zhang Bingjie turned the sword then stuck it to the ground, the man stopped the fight in an instant. "Your sword intent is stable enough, there are no wrong steps when you do it, but," Zhang Bingjie praised.
"There's a buty?" Xin Fai exhaled heavily, this felt like going back to her childhood when she first fought with Zhang Bingjie. The man taught him how to fight, to hold a sword and how to use his power.
"You have so many things to protect that it makes your sword slash a little hesitant when attacking."
"I won't hesitate to kill, unless..." Xin Fai stopped the pace of speech, speechless in her musings. "Except for the one I've considered close."
"Although it's your enemy though?"
Xin Fai nodded slowly, she was somewhat fooled by Zhang Bingjie's earlier statement. All this time the killing desire he got from the demon gems that reside in his body, maybe without it there are many enemies left alive by him.
"Friends can be your enemy. Trust can betray you. That's how I've learned all along, if you want to protect everyone don't be half-and-half! You should be able to determine where you are!" snapping Zhang Bingjie hard. His face looks sure.
"If you've understood my opponent quickly."
"Good, Uncle."
The speed of the sword that was originally just a potluck turned much fiercer, the shining sword blade reflected off the sun bias and nearly cut off Zhang Bingjie's head. He retreated to change his attack strategy but Xin Fai first stormed.
The sword swing was about to cut down, Zhang Bingjie held back the weapon using his sword. The calf of the man trembled withstanding this terrifying attack speed, when he saw the face of the opponent the man finally came to a realization. Xin Fai really listened to him and was now serious about killing him.
Now that the situation was starting to not draw as before, Zhang Bingjie rested on the sword in order to stand up. His breathing faltered from exhaustion, unaware that their small headquarters was running out of members against the Holy Sword Alliance. There was not much left of the Blood Demon Man only about fifteen people.
This made the Sacred Sword Alliance above the clouds, even when it saw Xin Fai busy fighting Zhang Bingjie some members were chasing and entering to help their leader.
Xin Fai held back one of the alliance members, she shook her head slowly. "You don't have to intervene, let me fight it myself."
"Ready, Chief."
The six people retreating together were still staring at Zhang Bingjie watch out, the person they were staring at was just a small smile and let out a voice. "I didn't expect that day to be a fight with a little boy who would become the Pillar of Heroes like you."
"Pillar Empire, you mean?"
"Haha... No, the Pillar of Heroes is a symbol of world peace. Although it was the name I myself that made it," Zhang Bingjie's laughter sounded jarring. The man again seriously let out his fighting aura.
"I don't feel like I fit that name, after all I've only been killing people."
"You're still holding a grudge against the group of Blood Devil Humans?"
"Very. Even until now. Uncle, I know it's not your desire to get into that group, but like you said. If you don't kill, the devil in you will eat your soul."
Zhang Bingjie put on a resigned face. "No need to hesitate to kill me, I would rather die like this than my body controlled by devil–"
Xin Fai placed his sword right around Zhang Bingjie's neck making the man flinch in shock, it was sudden that he was already behind him.
Zhang Bingjie's eyes were closed weakly, he was still trying to give up his life for all of this. "I've killed too many people, I think my sins are so many and I don't have a chance to make up for them..."
"Then go."
Zhang Bingjie closed his eyes preparing to die, he waited for Xin Fai's sword to cut his neck but it never happened.
The sound of a sword rang out for a moment, Zhang Bingjie opened his eyes slowly. He nodded in wonder.
"Why not kill me?"
"You want to atone for your sins, don't you? Go to the Lotus Temple, they have a way to eliminate that demon in your body."
Zhang Bingjie choked on his own breath, he held onto Xin Fai's shoulder expectantly. "Is that what you're saying?"
"I have no reason to lie, the Lotus Temple isn't that far from here. Just tell me I told you to go there, they'll take you."
