The Eastern Continent Swordsman
CH. 9 – Second Class Nobles
The misunderstanding between Zhou Fu and the woman he had just met finally had to come to a halt when Zhou Fu heard the sound of footsteps approaching. That voice was the movement sound of some people who were quite nimble and agile. Hearing from the pace of his movements, Zhou Fu was convinced that the speed of the move exceeded that of a starving male lion.
“That's Miss Shen Shen! Don't let Miss Shen Shen escape!”
Three men ambushed Zhou Fu and a woman named Shen Shen. Shen Shen hid behind Zhou Fu's body and begged Zhou Fu to help him.
“Quiet, I'll face them all!” Zhou Fu's instinct was to say that Shen Shen was in need of help. Zhou Fu also took a stand ready to give an attack to the three warriors who were now standing not far from him.
“Get aside, boy! Otherwise I will split your body into two parts!” one of the three warriors pulled a sword from his waist. Without further ado, he attacked Zhou Fu who was intent on protecting Shen Shen. The swordsman slammed his sword right over Zhou Fu's head. Zhou Fu shifted one leg back, he seemed to be about to practice the moves he had learned from Li Xian's grandfather.
“Awas... Your head will be split!” Shen Shen screeched seeing Zhou Fu not reacting to give a resistance.
Zhou Fu, who had shifted one leg back, now moved his clenched old hand into a cross. Coinciding with Zhou Fu exhaling out, a shockwave struck the tip of the swordsman's sword, making the sword suffer a severe crack. The shock wave also spread into the swordsman's hand and gave him a strong pushing effect.
“Aaaaaargh!!” The swarmer slammed and fell with blood coming out of his nose and mouth.
“What style is it? I didn't even get to see him pull out a move!” one of the other officers took a few steps back. He did not expect that his partner would fall so easily. Zhou Fu did not even use a single weapon.
“Wah, you're good too!” Shen Shen cheered as he was finally met with a powerful helper.
“That's okay, I'll show you another one!” Zho Fu stood up straight again and took a few deep breaths and threw him out slowly. He was not really putting out a style, which just now was just a technique. Said Li Xian's grandfather, the technique was only known by a few swordsmen, and Zhou Fu was among the lucky children who had experienced grandfathers and teachers.
“We have to go! We have to report this to the chairman!” one other swordsman gave the initiative as soon as he saw his partner who had been slammed now has lost his life.
“Where are you going?” Zhou Fu called out while repeating his movements.
“What the fuck? Why do my legs feel heavy? Why can't my body be moved?”
“Brengs*k! What the hell are you doing to us? Quickly release or our chairman will finish you!”
Zhou Fu only smiled listening to the ravings of the two humans who were about to lose their lives. Zhou Fu looked back to tell Shen Shen,
“Your name is Shen Shen, ‘right? So, what are those who have made your two daddies swell up? If so, now do as you please with them while they can't fight!”
Shen Shen glared for a while but then he nodded and felt agreed to do something to the two warriors. Shen Shen advanced closer, he observed the two warriors with an angry and fiery gaze, he said,
“Why do you want to kill me? Who told you guys? Quickly tell or this sword will scratch your neck slowly!” Shen Shen drew one of his enemy's swords, he pointed it right under the chin of one of his enemies.
“Mmm... Please forgive us miss, we are just running errands!”
“What task? From whom? I have the privilege of being a second-rate Caihong noble! Who would dare to plan something bad for me?”
“Aaaa.. I don't know either, Miss. But, if you are willing to let us go, I will tell you who our leader is!”
“All right I agree! Quickly tell me who your leader is?” Shen Shen replied quickly.
“Patriarch Sun. Sun Mingjin, from the North River sect.”
“Sekte North River? I never heard the name of the sect during my stay in Caihong. Tell me honestly or you…
“Really, Miss! The Northern River Sect was not on the Caihong mainland. It was a sect that occupied territory on the North River island. The island is close to Shamo. I said as is miss, please forgive us.”
“So it seems... Then, what is their business with me? I have never done any commotion either inside the giant wall or outside the giant wall!”
“For so long, why not just kill it! Let's find out for ourselves about that!” Zhou Fu began to feel that Shen Shen's question was too long-winded. Zhou Fu flew over and gave each of his enemies a punch in the chest.
The two warriors fell down without a chance to speak. They died instantly as soon as Zhou Fu's punch hit their hearts. Seeing that his enemies were now lifeless, Shen Shen stomped his feet in annoyance.
“Why did you kill them?!! I'm not done asking!”
“They could have told you untrue information, my grandfather had already told you about those things! If we want to know the truth, we have to find it ourselves! Ah, if you don't believe me, let me find you with my grandfather!”

Since it was impossible to leave Shen Shen alone on a remote island, Zhou Fu brought Shen back to his residence on Youhi island. On the way over the sea, Shen Shen told a long story about the Caihong land where he lived. He also mentioned that his family was a distinguished family because they were a second-class noble family, a noble caste that showed that the Shen Shen family was an important person in Caihong.
“I'm sure you'll be happy to meet my sister! He is the same age as you, and he is also very happy to fight,” Shen Shen said as he kept an eye on Zhou Fu who was in control of the boat. Shen Shen, who was 21 at the time, felt that she was with her sister, who might be sad waiting for her return.
“Oh yes, is your sister strong?” Zhou Fu asked.
“Sure, he has successfully passed many shortness exams in Caihong. I thought he'd be so happy to see you. Oh yes, my sister is also a girl. Just like me!”
Zhou Fu paused for a moment,
“Women???!” Zhou Fu remembered the word. It seemed like he had already heard it from Li Xian's grandfather's mouth.
