The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 257 - The Second Resurrection
Lan An twisted her body quickly seeing a horde of warriors coming to this place unexpectedly, she furrowed her brows furiously preparing to pull out her sword.
"These gibbons, how did they get in? Who told them we were going here?" Lan An muttered inwardly, trying to remember who the culprit was. There was no one he could suspect except the innkeeper who had heard their secret chat last night.
But considering entering Guangfu village was not an easy matter and at least they had to deal with the Dark Lord who had been guarding this village for ten years, making the tomb of Qiang Jun could not be touched by anyone in a period of thousands of years. The only reasonable answer is that they most likely did some sneaky way to get to this place.
Xin Fai had just gripped the two legendary swords in her hands, for a moment she was shocked by something. His body ached, the sound of a demon king roaring inside his head was heard.
"Finally after a long time... The rest of my soul sealed in this sword is back..."
The young man had involuntarily knelt on the ground, holding his head that felt intense throbbing. Utilizing that momentum the warriors of the Qing Empire advanced themselves, charging in from all directions at about the same time.
Lan An responded faster. He carried Xin Fai running out of the forest because he felt that the fight in this place would only be very detrimental to the two, after all the number of enemies was too much. About 30 more great warriors joined in, some were even quite great users of black flow science.
Trouble running to get out of this forest the first thing Lan An encountered were some humans tied to tall poles and the undead trying to reach them. It was only fitting that no undead attacked the warriors as the undead attention had been diverted.
In front of the slightly dim house was seen the Dark Lord running fast, his steps barely treading on the ground. He looks very panicked. As they faced each other the Dark Lord spoke.
"I don't know why all of a sudden a lot of people come here, they seem to have known this secret, since this morning I've already exterminated half of them but there are some who made it through..." The Dark Lord turned his gaze to Xin Fai who was grasping two swords belonging to Qiang Jun.
Xin Fai was still unmoved, her ears were hot and spitting out red blood. His eyes began to be unable to see clearly as his consciousness began to decline. On the other side of his entire body ached, the young man held it in his all-power still trying not to complain. Between the anxiety and fear he felt back then, Xin Fai felt like he had experienced this before during a trip to the Lotus Temple with Li Yong.
If only the resurrection of the demon monster happened sooner than he expected Xin Fai did not know what to do. He was afraid that when his body was out of control it would hurt Lan An and the others. He had originally planned that after obtaining these two swords he would ask the priests in the Lotus Temple to seal the demons in his body again but he felt unsure of it after hearing something rumble in his ears.
"Finally you found it..."
"Shut up..." Xin Fai closed her ears, making her hands wet with blood.
"You got it ..."
The Dark Lord could not confirm what was happening to the young man, for a moment he was petrified when he remembered the body of a Demon Man like Qiang Jun. These were the moments where they would go berserk. The last time I saw Qiang Jun go on a rampage, the Dark Lord could see a city being destroyed by his actions.
"Now give me your body..."
Unexpectedly an arrow aiming from behind was about to pierce through Xin Fai's body, dozens of warriors caught up with them from the hill. The arrow holder shouted out loudly before letting go in a bluffing tone.
Xin Fai could not yet realize the threat was due to the pain that plagued his focus, the longer the young man's breath grew heavier. He tried to look back. His eyes opened wide when he saw that Ri Chu had already fallen sprawled after being struck by three arrows at once. The tiger was trying to protect him from the arrows.
"Ri Chu's..."
Lan An blinked her eyes in disbelief, she still did not understand the situation that was unfolding before her. Ri Chu had already let out his last breath and died just like that.
"You killed... I didn't even kill this tiger myself..." Xin Fai walked about in a drag, letting out an increasingly bigger killer air in a quick period of time. Instantly the hatred took hold of him as if it was unstoppable in number. He could see these thirty people like the Blood Man of the Devil, they were enemies and deserved to be judged.
"Fight on me. I'll help you kill them all..."
Once again the voice sounded worried for his mind, Xin Fai only realized why his internal organs hurt. The seal of the demon formation in his body had been broken and now the power of the demon monster had grown back in his body after a long time. He realized the past five months had used too much demonic power to reach their destination of the Qing Empire as well as destroy the enemies they encountered, but never thought the second resurrection would happen so soon.
"Sister An, it seems like after this I will lose control... Will you be able to hold me back for a while until I can defeat this demon monster?"
"You mean–" Lan An's words were stuck at the end of his throat, not daring to continue because he had first known what Xin Fai said.
"The Second Devil's Resurrection..." A second of the young man's eyes fell on the thirty warriors in front of him, his resentment growing more and more burning chest. He looked at Ri Chu once again and regret was still the same, he recalled just earlier this morning giving the tiger a name and now he had died right before his own eyes.
"I'll kill them first."
Not waiting for the approval of anyone Xin Fai immediately shot up sharply and arrived in the midst of the enemy in a blink of an eye. The two swords in his hand pierced through the body of the great swordsman like cutting water. In the blink of an eye two to three lives floated in his hand.
A thousand years had passed since the Celestial Emperor Sword was embedded in the land of Guangfu hill, the natural energy like lightning leaps that routinely struck at the sword made the blade of his sword become extremely sharp. Absolutely incomparable hard and deadly combat power makes any object that hits it will be destroyed in one hit.
While the Demonic Human Sword worked by absorbing the energy obtained from the enemy's body then channeling it into the user's body, a red smoke filled with darkness surrounded the most dangerous weapon. Xin Fai fell to her knees as she managed to sweep the last two people, she spewed fresh blood afterwards.
The Dark Lord put on a watchful attitude, he held Lan An back from approaching Xin Fai knowing that there was already an evil soul taking over the young man's body.
"Just a few years later his strength has been this great, it is indeed worth killing." Xin Fai said softly, her tone felt different and Lan An barely recognized who the figure speaking in front of her was.
