The Legend of the Devil
Ch. 37 - Fifth Light
Blood rippled rapidly all over his body, Xue Zhan could only see the faintest shadow in which their Master, friend and homecoming bodyguard stood in front of him. He attacked the three people, until finally Xiao Rong managed to hit the nape of Xue Zhan's neck and made him fall unconscious.
In the evening the four of them chose to stop for a moment before continuing the journey tomorrow morning with Xue Zhan who was still unconscious.
A bonfire was burning amidst the silence that had struck since two hours ago. Both Xiao Rong, Kang Jian and even Jiazhen Yan did not know what to talk about. At times like this it was usually Xue Zhan who spoke a lot and made their chatter connect with each other. But there was no sign that the young man would wake up.
Just the sound of wood being devoured by the fire rang out, Kang Jian took a deep breath. His head was too hard thinking since earlier, making him a little dizzy and choosing to relax. Xiao Rong also went to sleep a short time later. It left Kang Jian and Jiazhen Yan still awake.
"Is it okay with something Xue Zhan carries inside of him? The sins ... Can't it be destroyed?"
"Can," Kang Jian replied, for a moment Jiazhen Yan turned to him to ask him how, but already, the man answered first.
"By killing the owner." Silently pausing for three seconds, Kang Jian spoke again as he collapsed sideways, staring at Jiazhen Yan who was also staring at him.
"If there was a way to kill the Sin, Xue Zhan would still die. Sin and Xue Zhan are one, they will die if one of them is killed."
Unknowingly Jiazhen Yan's hand was clenched. Looking away, "Sadly, that lousy boy, was born as a demon where there were creatures in his body, less unlucky what was he?" his gerrick.
Kang Jian laughed forcefully, he suddenly woke up when he felt an odd force in the forest. Directly near them put up a bonfire. Jiazhen Yan who realized it immediately turned off the bonfire, the enemy would more easily search for them with the only light of fire in the middle of that forest.
Xiao Rong also woke up, "Free, it looks like he knows we're here."
His words accompanied by the roar of a sudden windstorm shook the tree trunk and leaves, adding to the terrible impression in the middle of the pitch-black forest.
Until someone appears right in front of them.
As far as Jiazhen Yan knew, Kang Jian had never been that shocked when he saw an enemy, even an enemy ten times stronger than him. Kang Jian had no reaction for a long time, but it was evident in the look on his face now that the man was still recovering from his shock.
That cross-over white masked figure of light walked slowly as if he was treading on air, his strength could probably be matched by the strength of the two people of the Diqiu Empire Holy Sword.
He was the Light Sect of the Red Fangs, more precisely, the Fifth Light.
But that was not what made the man nicknamed Red Lightning unable to wince.
However the robe with the Kang clan emblem that was clinging onto his body at the moment, made him so angry many times over, not knowing himself that person appeared before Kang Jian after ten years. Since the war raged and killed hundreds of thousands of lives without mercy. Not just the soldiers, even the two old men and the Kang Clan's own bodyguards. Died without rest and left only himself.
And one enemy that triggers war and the death of all those he loves.
Kang Ying's. The emblem of Ying Yang in his robe fluttered. The one-sided color that was supposed to be black was changed to blood red, becoming a sign that he was the mastermind behind the death of the Kang Jian family.
"You still remember me? Tch, it's an honor. Why is it that I am still alive? You scared?"
How could Kang Jian be afraid of that human, he had been looking for him for ten years and had never met. And now, that fellow showed himself willingly. Kang Jian was ready with his sword.
"I'm looking for you like crazy, now it's clear what I'll do when I see you"
"It seems that we will fight back like the last ten years," he said which became a great warning to Kang Jian. And the whole Empire. The worst war that happened ten years ago will happen again? Kang Jian could not take that as something trivial.
"But now is not the time."
"What else do you want to destroy?!"
Kang Jian stepped one foot, his eyes bulging wide with wrath, could not let any more war that killed many children, adults and even the elderly occurred. Ten years was not a long time for the Empire to recover from all the damage and losses, including the casualties.
"You look so traumatized ... Is it because I killed that girl right in front of your own eyes, that you held such a huge grudge and these ten years kept looking for me?" His voice played out to be so irritating that Kang Jian felt his ears burning.
"Oh ... Or because of that girl you decided not to get married and close your heart tight? What a pity, I broke your heart to the point of breaking it. I am indeed evil," the laughter behind the mask could be heard by Kang Jian. He could even imagine that face was making fun of him.
But Kang Jian knew, his current strength was not necessarily able to match that man. He still had Jiazhen Yan, Xiao Rong and Xue Zhan. Fighting with Kang Yin might threaten the lives of the three teenagers. Kang Jian buried deeply the desire to kill.
There will be a time where he can kill Kang Ying, with his own hands. Until then Kang Jian swore he would live on to kill the man.
A man who has taken away everything he has. Family, lovers, and home.
The figure briefly peered behind Kang Jian where another young man was still unconscious.
"A child so precious ... He was very bright, just like the Light. I'll take it someday. Until the time comes, war may be about to happen. Are you ready to feel the loss a second time?"
Kang Ying walked over. Xiao Rong and Jiazhen Yan docked to set up a defensive formation.
The man came closer and closer, until his laughter was chilling in the eardrum.
"See you back, my dear sister."
Then the step stopped and its form faded into a flake of light that flew in the wind.
The horrible night passed. After that, there was no longer the calmness that was usually seen on Kang Jian's face.
