The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 234 - Head Bind
"What's this?" Say it while looking around. "That's the head with the number one letter?"
"I remember something..." One of the members cursed. "Lu Rong said he wanted to go to the tailor to make this, perhaps as a celebration after a month in the Holy Sword Alliance..."
Xin Fai smiled slightly. He took the long white cloth and tied it to his head. "We will bring your name as well as Yin Fang in the Sacred Sword Alliance, rest in peace. It is now our job to defeat all the enemies of the Empire."
The funeral was sober, they paid tribute to the graves of the two men.
The Sacred Sword Alliance moved in unison towards the pier, the afternoon sky began to change that afternoon. The air blowing hard makes the sea water tremble small. The ship they were riding on could only accommodate half of the entire number of members, they rented two ships at once.
Some people rested themselves by leaning against the wall of the ship, a hint of chatter was heard in their mouths.
"Hey, if those two people die then soon maybe we will also catch up."
"Are you scared? Where's your guts been all this time? It's not that Chairman Xin told you from the beginning, since getting in here we don't need anything called life anymore."
His opponents deny. "It's not so, if only all of us died then who would carry the name of the Holy Sword Alliance?"
"I." Xin Fai appeared shortly afterwards, the headband on her forehead fluttering. Makes him more charisma in the eyes of the members.
"Oh Chairman Xin, you're so much cooler with that headband and... Whatisit? A hairpin?"
Xin Fai was stunned when one of the members realized the flops after a long time. Though he had tried to cover it with hair, but because the wind was too strong the damn hairpin can still be seen.
"Don't laugh at me, or I'll sink this ship." Xin Fai simply said incensedly, still not accepting the existence of this black hairpin. It does not look feminine, but still interferes with her appearance.
"Good, good Chairman."
The threat from their leader's mouth made the others only able to laugh inwardly, of course with great difficulty so as not to be caught by Xin Fai.
Upon arrival in the next town they immediately moved towards Renwu city. Maybe if moving at high speed within a week can get up, steep roads and extreme seasons become an exception. It could be that their journey is hampered because of these two things.
On the third day of the journey back towards Renwu City, the group of the Sacred Sword Alliance stopped at one place that had been ravaged. Hundreds of homes were smashed to pieces with the rest of the burning smoke still fused in the air.
Presumably eighty percent of the village has been destroyed unnoticed, the inhabitants have fled there are only a few bodies lying along the road. Xin Fai got off his horse to be sure of the situation, when he had just examined one dead body the sound of footsteps rang out in front there.
"This corpse... They were messengers from one of the small sects," Zhu Yue said after recognizing him. He looked forward and realized there were hundreds of Blood Demon Humans who had formed a row together with the red scorpion flag.
"Don't tell me this place is some kind of trap?" Ho Xiuhan said, sounding terrified.
"Traps?" Xin Fai turned to look at him curiously. Ho Xiuhan was definitely more aware of all the tactics and ways the Blood Devil Man worked.
"They finish off this village to attract the enemy's attention, seeing them confidently like this was likely an army they had brought over five hundred men..."
The uproar began to be inevitable altogether, killing just two hundred of them to the point of being out of breath. Moreover, the whole person there was an average of a big swordsman. It was not impossible that the Holy Sword Alliance only stayed a name after this.
Yet the only person who was not daunted at all was Xin Fai, he was still as calm as ever. Only one problem, with that number it might take a long time to finish them off not to mention the number of victims who died on his side later. As much as possible he does not want the lives of members threatened. After considering many things, he finally spoke.
"Those who succeed in killing more than thirty will get a thousand pieces of gold. You willing?"
"Of course the Chief!" The tempting offer they could not refuse, after previously desperate hope their spirit began to smolder as usual.
"One message, don't act rashly. Just attack from a safe distance, if you can use your bow."
He turned towards Zhu Yue. "You see how they perform, the rewards will be shared when we return to Renwu City."
"I understand, Chairman Xin." Zhu Yue looked down.
Half of the Sacred Sword Alliance began to draw arrows welcoming the arrival of the enemy. Not so long after the next wave of enemies came to make them tremble again, the number was almost three hundred people. Facing it at once is not easy.
In the last seconds two armies collided, the sound of weapons was heard everywhere and one by one lives were lost in the village. As far as the situation was still in control, there were no casualties on the side of the Sacred Sword Alliance.
Xin Fai took a deep breath, raising his sword to be level with the shoulder.
"The Book of Seven Keys - the Hundred Full Sword!"
Among the hundreds of enemies that were clashing with each other Xin Fai slashed nonstop, pieces of body began to scatter along with screams of pain. Fireflower marks lit up behind his headband as he used demonic power. With so many lives so easily lost on his sword, Xin Fai paid no heed to words begging for forgiveness from the enemy and would only stop when his victims were exhausted.
He searched at another point and used the Illusion of Blood Rain on over fifty people at once. A moment an enemy tried to attack when he focused on using the style but what happened next actually made him stunned until the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
One more friend tried to stab right in Xin Fai's heart but his sword was only translucent and could not hit anything.
Xin Fai opened his eyes making the two men retreat in fear, hundreds of golden blades circling around him in the blink of an eye then moved swiftly stabbing them.
The members of the Sacred Sword Alliance were no less ferocious, hundreds of lives had already been lost in their hands. Several seriously injured members of the Sacred Sword Alliance became top priorities, those who were injured were forced to stop and just wait behind as per Xin Fai's direction, watching his companions hunt sin-making demons. It was certainly very embarrassing but how else, it seems that their leader does not want any casualties on his side in this fight.
Chang Wei, one of the youngest members of the Sacred Sword Alliance fell down as a dagger grabbed his stomach, none of his comrades were close enough. Their fewer numbers are covered by the enemy with more numbers. He could only hold the dagger and try to retreat when the enemy was about to hit his head with the sword.
A second before the sword hit Chang Wei's head, Ho Xiuhan came from a distance using his horse. He brushed off the enemy's sword using a long stick. It was fortunate that Chang Wei's life was saved. The man got off his horse and stood before Chang Wei. Suddenly his enemy spoke sharply.
"Oh, look who's been a traitor to the group."
