The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 61 - Crushing the Stone
As usual as they rested, Xin Fai chose to practice. They arrived at a jungle quite far away from Houbi City, there were some forest wolves there but no one dared to approach when he saw a wolf that was four times the size of them, that's Lang himself.
The sun was setting, Xin Fai made a campfire as a lighting. Because in this place it is possible that animals such as scorpions or snakes can come from anywhere. He was sitting cross-legged on a huge rock.
While learning to recover energy in Xin Fai back to hone his ability to concentrate. Consciously he always does it, making any movement that occurs around him can be known easily.
After two hours cross-legged on the rock, Xin Fai jumped from there. He stood in front of the stone while pulling the Demonic Blood Man's sword.
Instantly his ears could hear a very faint sound wave from himself. Xin Fai furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.
"Finally reborn..."
After successfully hearing the voice faintly Xin Fai was made goosebumps by him, the voice that was so slow it was very creepy. Like the sound of a monster that has lived for thousands of years.
Lang just watched Xin Fai without commenting, he was actually quite confused as to why the child was acting strangely yet chose not to interfere in his affairs.
The mysterious whisper was still faintly heard before it finally disappeared. Xin Fai turned to stare at the jewel of the Blood Devil Human sword that was now flaming red.
"Does the Demonic Blood Man have anything to do with my current body condition?" His mind guessed, after successfully calming down Xin Fai returned to focus on continuing her delayed training. He tried to distract her from thinking that even that voice was completely useless, he did not have enough information about the Demonic Blood Man nor his current body condition.
Xin Fai opened the Book of Seven Keys, then read it in a dim light. Even so Xin Fai's vision was already much sharper, she could adjust to even minimal light.
After pondering Xin Fai was more interested in a slightly strange stance. Daan Village Wind Force is the Moon Key skill which is in fourth place. The Moon's own key of the ten moves, the Crescent Moon Kick was at the last level which was number ten.
"I'm not sure I can master it, but it never hurts to try."
Xin strengthened his grip on the sword, he steadied the horses following the direction of the book.
A high Wind Step technique is needed in using this style, and he must be able to blend with nature. High concentrations were also needed to gather the necessary natural energy so it took quite a long time for Xin Fai to do so.
With a single thrust of his sword, the two wind blades escaped from his sword and scratched the stone before him.
Although it does not scratch too deep, but Xin Fai felt the inner strength needed to take off this style is quite a lot. Twice as much as a Thousand Spirits.
Xin Fai was sure that this style had a strong attack power if he managed to master it perfectly. Xin Fai again brandished his sword and did so continuously.
The longer Xin Fai performed that stance the more number of wind blades he could remove. At least he could now take out 8 wind blades simultaneously but the size was getting smaller than the one Xin Fai had first seen.
Sometimes he combined the Crescent Moon Kick with the Daan Village Wind to smash the stone in front of him.
Late at night Xin Fai still continued to train until exhausted, she was lying on the ground with a body flooded with sweat.
"If I have time to practice like this every day at least I can avenge me someday." Staring at the crescent moon above him, Xin Fai recalled his family.
Another month had passed, when Xin Fai recalled her family again she chose to divert it by practicing desperately. He didn't want to be sad when he remembered that.
"Dad, I don't know that killing them will calm you down or not." he murmured. "At least now I have a purpose in life even though you are no longer around."
Xin Fai had always felt her father was looking at her from above, even though her father was a shabby fool yet Xin Fai loved her dearly. Same with his mother and sister.
Rather than regretting what had happened Xin Fai woke up again, with his legs beginning to tremble he tried to play the sword without using any inner strength.
Lang only snorted resignedly, how the boy was not exhausted all night practicing especially after hearing the story that he had fought against the hitman and got a slash on his shoulder.
Lang could only answer it himself, perhaps Xin Fai's determination was far greater than his tiredness.
Xin Fai swung the sword with the rest of his strength, his breathing was intermittent from earlier but he did not care about it at all.
"The Crescent Kick!"
The stone before him again suffered a crack, the state of the stone was filled with scratches and cracks. He continued to attack all over the rock until Lang approached.
"You try until the end of time that stone will not be split."
Xin Fai looked behind him. "Although little by little, this stone will definitely break as well. Just look!"
The veils in Xin Fai's hand until it appeared, he raised the sword up high.
As strong as the power that Xin Fai had deployed but none of them could crush a rock that thick and hard. While feeling her efforts were in vain, Xin Fai finally chose to rest for a while.
Lang was a little sorry to see it, he understood Xin Fai's experience was still a little so no wonder breaking a stone like this alone had made it difficult.
The wolf sat beside him.
"Have you ever smashed an egg?"
That sudden question Xin Fai responded with her furrowed brows.
"Of course it ever was. So then?"
"How do you do it?"
Still do not understand Lang's intentions, he answered just that.
"I tapped it in the pot, wasn't that easy?"
"Don't smashing a rock that big be easy if you already know how?"
Xin Fai thought for a while before finally understanding. He stared at the stone in front of him that was full of scratches.
He understood, if making an attack on all parts of the stone was a big mistake. By attacking one part continuously the possibility of the stone will crack, such as the egg that Lang said earlier.
"I just realized, my brain was still very shallow. Ahhaha!"
"You just admitted you're the world's dumbest man?"
Xin Fai looked at Lang with a piercing look. He finally got up, then jumped on the rock.
"With this I will make sure this stone will crack before sundown!"
