The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 98 - Seven Ships Arrive
"Hey calm down first, don't threaten me like that! You gonna kill me? If I get killed now how can I keep my promise?" oceh Xin Fai panicked as he saw the five dragons preparing to charge at him, just glancing at him he already knew the strength of this one dragon was on par with Lang's strength.
It was even stronger because their speed was far more terrifying than the demons from the human world.
"Hahaha," a stealthy laughter finally sounded and the five dragons moved away with no intention of teasing Xin Fai. "Be strong as soon as possible, all your promises will be remembered. Don't let you deny it."
"Yes, I don't think you're as chatty as that wolf."
"What do you have to talk about?" The horrible sound was heard again. There was a threatening tone when the demon spoke.
"A--no, I mean, what's up with my serial downstairs. He must be hurt."
Xin Fai let out his breath when the demon no longer bothered him.
"I'll go back to my place. You can get out of here and live out your life's purpose, lest you die before you keep that promise."
"Hhh... You said many times, yes I promise I'll keep it." Xin Fai's shoulders slumped lazily, he currently did not feel any more threat and considered the Water Ruler Demon as his friend. Since he had previously been friends with a savage demon like Lang, it seemed that Xin Fai was used to these kind of beasts.
The spirits lowered Xin Fai to where Li Yong was while the Demon Ruler of Water entered the water and caused the water surface to surge violently. The night sky was not gripping anymore as before, the lightning stopped sounding and the typhoon slowly disappeared.
Lang did not say anything, his body suffered many injuries and chose to recover by resting inside Xin Fai's body.
"Thank God, we survived... We are so grateful to you, Xin Fai." One of the young men who was a middle swordsman said, before he had known the name Xin Fai of Li Yong and was very grateful for his life being helped today.
"Fai'er, you better give a satisfactory explanation to answer all my questions later," it was Shen Xuemei's turn who still looked at Xin Fai in disbelief.
There were many questions he wanted to ask about Xin Fai's true strength. It was not an exaggeration to call Xin Fai a boy full of surprises.

Not long after, seven ships that accommodate the warriors came. When he heard the voice of the Water Ruler Demon echoing all over, immediately the mayor of Fanlu sent out many troops.
The people who were sent were also not random people, they came from medium swordsmen to great warriors. When they arrived at the middle of the ocean, they found pieces of wood scattered ships and some people floating in the middle of the ocean.
When they were about to ask what happened they were amazed by an amazing sight, less than a hundred meters in front of them a dragon demon moved down and threw itself into a huge wave in the ocean.
"What does that require...? It's terrible."
"Look! You see that! There's a little boy floating up there!"
"Yes God! Am I dreaming today?"
Many words of amazement spontaneously came out of their mouths, some were clucking in astonishment even to the point of winking, feeling that what was happening in front of them was a lie.
When the ship was not too far away from them Li Yong finally realized it, he was just about to ask what they were going to Renwu City with and now seven ships had stopped near them.
"Hey? Are you guys all right?!" A man shouted in order to be heard, Li Yong nodded slowly.
"Yes!"
Shen Xuemei rose up hurriedly, she had already been extremely cold floating in the seawater for up to several hours.
As Xin Fai was ascending, all eyes were on her. A momentary silence made Xin Fai both stiff and confused. He chose not to think about it anymore, and immediately rested himself leaning against the wall of the ship.
The old man who made trouble with the dragon demon had unexpectedly survived, despite not having the skills of a swordsman but his fate was fortunate. Xin Fai shook her head slowly, because that man they were in trouble earlier.
Not yet able to catch his breath, Xin Fai had already been hunted by hundreds of questions from the surrounding people. Moreover, now that Huang Kun had just regained consciousness, the young man woke up like a rat who was hit by a trapper.
After being told the situation by Xin Fai, Huang Kun glazed over. "I didn't expect to be alive after this, it's all thanks to you Fai'er."
The swordsman who had just come from Fanlu town listened in amazement to Li Yong's words, The priest told him all the events he saw with his own eyes without lying. With this, soon the name of the Lotus Temple sect will be increasingly prominent in the martial world.
"Against the Water Ruler Demon? No kidding! The Imperial Pillars alone were not necessarily capable of fighting him!"
One of the other warriors interrupted, "So who do you think was that hovering above the sky? And also, obviously we all saw that terrible creature go into the sea."
Those words made them speechless, Xin Fai sighed softly unwilling to speak. Actually the one who fought the Water Ruler Demon was Kaibo, but he did not intend to tell it to strangers like these warriors because it would invite many other questions.
Kaibo itself is a spirit, if you tell it it is certain that these warriors do not believe in the existence of a spirit in him.
Li Yong asked the ship's driver to escort them to Renwu City, the three students will attend the Young Swordsman Tournament in the center of the Shang Empire.
By giving a few pieces of gold, finally the ship moved to leave the open sea. The other ship was moving in the opposite direction to them. The ships returned to Fanlu Town to give word.
"Ah, Fai´er. It feels like in the next few days your name will instantly become a hot topic."
"E... Me? Why me?"
"That's again! You're such a fool, Fai'er!" Huang Kun was fiery. "Only in your cunning fight is unequaled, in this ordinary way your stupidity is also incomparable!"
"Hahaha, I'm sorry Senior."
Huang Kun put on a sour face, he exhaled heavily. "If this... It's hard to balance my strength with you. I already consider you my rival."
Huang Kun's shoulder was patted softly, Xin Fai said warmly as usual. "It's not time to be desperate. Our goal is to be the strong of the strongest, with which you have no need to complain, Senior. Even a blind man, if he has the determination of his life, will be better than a man who is not blind."
"Ah, your language is very heavy. Hahaha you wise-ass boy!"
Xin Fai's head was hit by Huang Kun's hand.
"Hey, you hit me in the head!"
"Hahaha just answer me if you can!"
