The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 239 - Imperial turmoil
The demons in Jiang Cheng's body thrashed when the creature next to Xin Fai used its power. The man's neck was wrapped around by a thin thread but his voice was held back as the thread tightened.
The Red Devil pulled the thread in both of his hands and instantly Jiang Cheng's neck was cut off from where it should be.
Xin Fai glared at the Red Devil, it seemed that the demon inside Jiang Cheng's body knew who he was and he killed the man without a second thought. The way of killing the Red Devils was very neat, not too much blood came out of Jiang Cheng's neck.
"Why did you kill him like that? It looks like you're hiding your identity."
The Red Devil. "Who am I not important now, quickly clear this place and go look for the Demonic Human Sword. You don't have much time left for that."
"What do you mean"
The Red Devil simply disappeared without explaining more, Xin Fai took a heavy breath and was increasingly unable to think with the creature's way of thinking.
When he opened his eyes again the first thing that was seen was that Jiang Cheng's body was covered in blood, his neck was cut off while the sword in Xin Fai's hand still had not taken its toll since coming to this place.
"How could his body be cut off while the Red Devil killed him in the illusionary world, this is getting more and more absurd." Just a mutter rang out from his mouth, Xin Fai circled around the surroundings where the fight still continued to this day. He glanced towards the front, as the Holy Sword Alliance fought with the Demon Cult he was planning to hold back the pace of the Crown Prince's carriage.
But his steps came to a halt when he realized his own side was in a state of disadvantage, Xin Fai exclaimed loudly. "Don't fight them again, follow me! We're going to arrest Prince Qin Yijun!"
Dozens of warriors broke away from their opponents quickly, they retreated a few steps and caught up with Xin Fai on the big road of the city. The streets were full of dead bodies of white and black warriors. Several city facilities were also targeted in the coup, the Blood Devil Man Party had filled Renwu City throughout the city and some of them were chasing the troops that Xin Fai had brought along while about to catch up with Qin Yijun, the first son of Emperor Qin Gaozu.
A red-black flag was set up along the road to the White Mist Valley sect, just like the sect's name was among the thick misty valleys. There was a much fiercer battle than was seen in Renwu City.
Xin Fai scanned the surroundings sharply, it seemed that the letter he sent a few days ago had made it to Emperor Qin but he did not know if the man had the time to prepare himself. From the best escape route, Qin Gaozu and his wife should have gone to the White Fog Valley where it was fortified by hundreds of reliable warriors both young and old.
Unexpectedly from the rear they began to be overtaken by the enemy, whereas in the interior of the White Fog Valley sect had been destroyed. The gate of the sect did not even have any more experience. Several members of the Sacred Sword Alliance held off the enemy entourage from outside in order to open a path to the others.
"Chairman, we'll hold the one here! Don't worry about us!"
"Hold on, we'll be right back."
"Good!" A quarter of the members were left at the door of the sect, the longer the enemies overran them. Whereas Xin Fai had switched into the deepest part of the sect, he was sure the warriors from the Devil Cult had entered this place first seeing the situation much more chaotic than the situation of Renwu City itself.
Again because the enemy had too many three members restrained behind by the enemy, Xin Fai moved forward while swinging the sword barging in to the deepest part of the sect. His attention rested on the one point where the actual residence door that belonged to Yang Guifei had been broken down, the woman was fighting in the middle of the sea of humans.
Xin Fai got into the fight, making Yang Guifei startled and could only say. "You-you?"
Yang Guifei flinched as the question was directed at him, he became extremely regretful as he said. "Emperor Qin has been caught, it's my fault for being too weak to protect him."
"Where was he taken?"
"I don't know, but it's likely that they will hold Emperor Qin for a while."
Xin Fai lowered his head, then turning his sword at high speed made the swordsmen's legs cut off quite sharply. The floor of the residence had now been flooded by blood, the three swordsmen still had time to crawl in order to escape but Xin Fai did not put the slightest bit of empathy on them.
No hesitation his sword pierced through the body of the person who was still crawling, until it penetrated into the floorboard. Yang Guifei frowned at the sight of it all but he chose not to mind, indeed the news of the return of the Demon Sword from the Mist Forest had been heard all over. Initially Yang Guifei did not believe the news that was circulating a few weeks ago but it seems that the truth of the news is proven by the presence of Xin Fai at this time.
His small face back when the tournament was now an adult, no longer looked compassionate when killing humans. Xin Fai stood in front of the residence with a glance around, his headband fluttering following the increasingly strong wind currents the sign of a thunderstorm was coming soon.
"Senior Yang, we have to move immediately."
"I know, follow me." Yang Guifei rode a horse tied up in his stable, he spurred quickly towards the main hall of the White Fog Valley sect. There the elders and other important people gathered in a single point.
"As for this coup, do you have any idea why this happened to Senior Yang?" Ask the young man while he drives his horse. Yang Guifei nodded small.
"Lately I've heard that Emperor Qin's second son has the support of many parties, from the White Fog Valley itself to the great sects and even noble families. Qin Minjie won the vote in the political war, he had great charisma in the Empire."
"Then, with Qin Yijun himself? I think this way is too rotten to just fight for the throne."
"You don't know what Qin Yijun is? He even injured his own brother as a child, his arrogant nature was already innate from being born out of nowhere the trait came from..." Yang Guifei showed a fed-up expression, he had faced off several times with the person he was talking about and from all he saw only a bad impression was in Qin Yijun.
"Qin Yijun, huh? I've seen him, he's nothing more than a man enslaved by power."
"It's true." Yang Guifei stopped his horse. "We've arrived."
"Why are we going to this place?"
"I'm sure Qin Yijun not only wants to hold his own father hostage, he definitely wants to kill his own brother, Qin Minjie."
