The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 80 - Against the Five Blood Demon Man
That night just as Xin Fai had expected, there was a commotion in the front room of the inn. He awoke from his sleep and found that there had been a terrible bloodbath that night.
This unexpected incident then made the atmosphere of the inn very rowdy, the room to receive guests was flooded with the flow of blood of a man from the Five Leaves Basil who had been cut off his head so lifeless again. One of his friends was still standing with serious bleeding, his face deathly pale looking forward.
His battle with the five Demonic Blood Man troops was one-sided, he had sustained no small injuries.
Xin Fai could not remain silent as the people who were not concerned were also victims in that fight. Many workers in this inn were injured, even one of them had been lifeless when holding this foreign entourage in.
The Blood Demon Man had always destroyed whatever was blocking their steps, which was what made their name sound terrifying when spoken of.
One of them came forward with a demonic smile, the smile that Xin Fai had last seen before his father died. Everything was like a repeat, Xin Fai looked at the man in his 40s who was kneeling under the man like his own father.
Just as he was about to slash his machete, the man from the Blood Devil group was made dumbstruck when his weapon was stuck with something extremely hard.
The man's eyes widened so wide that they almost rolled on the floor, seeing a boy wielding a sword called the Demonic Blood Human Sword that he was now wearing to break the rate of attack.
Xin Fai's eyeballs darkened as she stared at the red tattoo on the man's chest, she looked at the violent. The Blood Demon Man was a nightmare to him.
"Who are you?!" obviously the man's friend was shocked, those who were still just entering the group of Blood Demon Man were very troubled to get the sword in Xin Fai's hand. It takes a glorious achievement and a large number of victims to get the special sword.
Xin Fai propped up the sword in her hand with a shoulder.
"Who am I? I am a demon to you, and an angel to those around me."
The man from the Five Leaves Basil raised his head in confusion but at the same time he felt very relieved. Li Yong had just come and witnessed his disciple in danger, himself was about to come forward to protect Xin Fai.
"Huh? Big is your bitch too! Look after this, after I break your head, are you still talking like that?"
Xin Fai widened her smile, "Let's prove it now."
After saying that all of a sudden Xin Fai disappeared in front of him, the man swept his gaze around in panic. Suddenly there was a whisper behind him.
"I'm behind you."
The man looked back quickly, instantly a slash flew right into his head. With a lot of energy flowing deeply into the Blood Devil Human sword, the sword cut the neck of its enemy extremely sharply.
The man sprawled on the floor headless, Xin Fai was no longer afraid of slashing at others. If his human soul was still strong, now thanks to the mouse stealth gem his fear when killing is like disappearing.
Xin Fai did not know whether it was good or bad, but as much as possible he would control himself to avoid being affected by the negative side of the gem.
Li Yong gulped when he saw the man sprawled, while Xin Fai just looked down looking at the man's neck pouring blood profusely.
A moment after Xin Fai looked back, the other four Demonic Blood Humans began to hesitate but their instincts remained unchanged. They will fight even life as payment.
Xin Fai's left hand drew the other sword, now both hands were holding different swords.
As soon as his four enemies advanced, they made every effort to injure Xin Fai but found it very difficult to find a gap.
The moment one of them managed to get a crack and was about to slash Xin Fai from the blind spot the moment Li Yong intervened.
They could measure the strength Li Yong had already entered the level of a great swordsman, one of them retreated in fear while Xin Fai seemed to be giving them no mercy. He had to reduce the number of members of this group as much as possible if he wanted to avenge him later on.
Back when one of them was spattered with blood, Li Yong did not want to take their lives but Xin Fai did.
While the anger within Xin Fai was explosive again, his grudge towards the Blood Devil Man was so intense that this second. He thought that if the Demon Blood Man did not exist, maybe today he could still gather with his family.
The two Blood Demon Man next exhaled their last breaths without any meaningful resistance, Xin Fai continued to slash fiercely.
"If you hadn't killed my family..." Xin Fai tightened her teeth growling, her eyes started to glaze over. Li Yong could see everything clearly, looking that the child's suffering was much greater than what he saw.
The blood of the enemy was once again pouring down the floor and walls of the inn, another life had floated in his hands. After successfully slashing the five new Blood Devil Humans Xin Fai stopped. But his resentment did not subside at all, it only increased.
Xin Fai could not understand him anymore, his mind was dark. He looked behind him and found terrified gazes from the people who were in the inn. Including Huang Kun, Shen Xuemei and Li Yong who had seen him earlier.
"Fai 'er.... You...?" Huang Kun could not believe that Xin Fai was doing everything, he felt that his junior was a jolly little boy with an innocent face. But in reality, today Xin Fai was like a blood-eating demon.
Xin Fai's gaze returned regretful, she was sure that many people would fear or even hate her. No one would want to understand his life purpose just to destroy the Demonic Blood Man.
The man from the Five Leaves Basil did not really expect himself to be forgiven, considering that his body was now severely injured and needed expensive treatment to recover it.
Xin Fai gave the man a number of gold coins, making him furrow his brows and look up.
"Why?"
"All I want to kill in this world is just a Blood Devil Man. I know you still want to live to correct your mistakes before," Xin Fai said slowly.
Xin Fai remembered the one who fared the same as this man, the one who had always hoped for a second chance to improve himself. Unlike the Blood Demon Man who to death will continue to do damage.
"Mr Swordsman, how are you-?" The man's eyes glazed over, after which he cried.
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I killed a lot of people with my hands... You, why don't you just kill me...?"
Everyone heard the man as unwilling as he was in his place, his tone was heartbreaking and without being contrived. Xin Fai crouched down to calm the man down, there was at least a sense of joy seeping in his heart.
If in the past Xin Fai had absolutely no power to save his father when the Demon Blood Man came, today he could save this Five Leafed Basil man with his strength.
Xin Fai said warmly. "Sometimes it's not necessary to kill someone to reconcile the situation, I just need to change the way you look that will make you a new human being."
The man stole a glance behind Xin Fai. Xin Fai understood that look.
"They are not among those to be forgiven, to me they are all sins to be blotted out."
"Thank you, Mr. Swordsman. I promise I will remember your kindness and change myself to be a useful person in the future." the man thanked me even dozens of times. Xin Fai said the gold coin she gave was to treat the wound and meet the man's needs going forward.
The atmosphere of silence for a while, they met the man from the Five Leaves Basil who now decided to leave the place because he did not want to disturb the comfort of others.
While the innkeeper cleaned up the corpses in the surroundings, Xin Fai did not dare to say anything to Li Yong.
Li Yong pulled a slight smile.
"There's nothing you need to worry about" he said. "Seeing you still have the good to change someone else's life, I don't think that demon will be able to affect you."
