The Northern Sword God
First Monster
By that time eight windbenders had stood in positions ready to fly the fighting army. Standing on the deck while blowing the Long black military winds behind similar robe-waving like wind gusts, the eight Wind Controllers looked so great, like the god of the wind.
“Wind controller get ready....!!” Aba-aba sounded.
They then hooked the spirit ropes on the backs of the sixteen elite soldiers of the Great Eagles Empire.
“We are ready to fight..!” one of the elite soldiers spoke out. He seems to be the leader of the group. The two-headed spear of a double-edged sword glittered as the eighteen soldiers made a twisting motion showing off the sharpness of the spear head.
“Direct the Ship to approach the monster shark to approach one Lie” Laio Quon said. In his opinion one Lie was the best distance for the eighteen elite soldiers to attack the enemy. Then two wind controllers who remained in charge of steering the ship, waved their hands.
“Wushh...!!!”
The wind blew fiercely and brought the spirit ship closer towards the monster. The fishy smell typical of sea-smell fish, immediately spread when the shark monster revealed its mouth that showed the contents of its mouth crater which left many pieces of prey in the ocean. Although the cold vomited when smelling the foul scent, all the soldiers tried to defend themselves so as not to look weak.
Getting closer to a distance of one lie, the sharp teeth glittered like knives that seemed to flicker reflecting sunlight as the monster roared to show off its teeth.
Liao Quon estimated, roughly two or maybe even five human bodies would be split apart immediately if it fell into the mouth of the monster. In addition to the nauseous feeling from the fishy smell of the mouth of the giant shark, a shuddering feeling also arose in the hearts of all who saw the giant shark.
***
Back to the ship deck…
As if aware that they were being stared at by the group of Prince Ju Qin and Lord Yong, the eight windbenders made a wave gesture in the form of a formation. “Wushh...” sixteen soldiers were thrown quickly towards the sky. It was a demonstration of high-level wind mastery skills.
Then when those windbenders whispered with a slick of incantation to form a formation, miraculously the eighteen elite soldiers swooped down rapidly and the tightly locked spear threatened the Shark Monster. The rope connecting them to the wind controller is now invisible. It was likely that part and effect of those eight controlling formation techniques.
Sayup-sayup sounds snapped repeatedly...
“Hiyaaattt.... matii....!!!!”
Sixteen piercing spears hurtled rapidly and directionally from the height locking all the important parts in the body of the Shark monster. As soon as the monster looked like it was confused, it would start attacking from which of the sixteen enemies it was.
As the heads of the sixteen spears drew closer and like they were about to split the shark's body, the tail suddenly spun and a fierce wind of attack struck the five soldiers close to the tail.
“Braakkk...” five soldiers who were hit by the shark's tail slammed into the back. But they look fine. The wind controllers holding their ropes deftly exhaled the wind to spare the five soldiers from the stroke of death.
While the remaining soldiers were still in a piercing motion, trying to injure the Shark. Sharks shake the body in anger. Several spear eyes failed to hit his body. But the two spear eyes ferociously entered the body of the giant fish and began to tear through the inside.
In a shrill agony as his body was injured, the giant Shark let out a desperate move. His body shone then with the energy he absorbed from the earth and sky, revealing out the threatening power of that beam.
Without the slightest mercy, the wings of the Shark Monster stretched out and with an extremely powerful flutter, where two elite soldiers who had not had time to retreat, were, they were thrown away and repeatedly spilled gulps of blood - when the sharp jagged wings hit their bodies and tore off the iron clothes they were wearing.
The fourteen soldiers who escaped the wing slices looked pale. How powerful the power and how sharp the wings of the monster, they thought. But once again immersed in an outpouring of courage that was not afraid of death, the fourteen soldiers darted rapidly in a special formation that was like his created to face the opponent simultaneously.
Along with the wave of the hand of the windbenders, the sixteen figures were like uniting their spears. Then a gigantic spear manifested itself as a fusion of their sixteen spear formations.
“Matii...!!!” yell at them at the same time.
The giant spear struck down with combined force, to the point of making a rumbling sound in the Eastern Dew Sea. The Giant Shark emitted a beam of Energy from its muzzle that attempted to intercept the combined strength of sixteen Elite Soldiers. Two fierce energy lights clashed.
“Duaar...!!” the clash of two great powers shook the sky. Sixteen elite soldiers were thrown like kites breaking up. Fortunately, eight windbenders who controlled their movements, swiftly jerked so that the wind blew to bring them so as not to crash on the corals and cliffs by the sea.
The condition of the giant shark was no less unfortunate than fourteen soldiers. Like a balloon suddenly deflated... The giant shark was thrown blankly towards the back, so far away and then he splashed into the ocean. He fell into the water in the condition of his body slashed through the spear formation of fourteen elite soldiers.
Not long after the shark's body splashed in the ocean, people allowed water bubbles to emerge from the depths of the ocean.
The ocean around the shark sank, turning red. It was clear that some other monsters in the sea were tearing apart the injured Shark, and in just a few moments the bones of the monster Shark were left.
With shuddering gazes all witnessed the brutality of the rare creatures in the ancient East Dew Sea.
Sixteen elite soldiers in addition to two who were seriously injured were cut into the recovery room. The young Alchemists deftly carried out the act of bandaging and transferring soul energy to cover the wounds of the soldiers.
Special treatment of two severely wounded soldiers, Sima Yong lightly helped to administer pills, channeling potions, as well as channeling soul energy to treat deep wounds that were invisible to the ordinary eye.
“Your situation has now looked better. Within a few weeks, all of these battle incisions would fade leaving a thin line of pink” Sima Yong patted the back of the last soldier she had stitched her wound magically after affixing the adhesive potion.
Groaning withstanding the remnants of the pain, the soldier looked at Sima Yong, he was speechless. Her body felt too helpless. But the highlight of the eye was clearly saying two words “Thank You”
The young man - the young alchemist Jiang Fai - was keen to pay attention to all the actions and spells that Sima Yong performed and cast. In his heart he promised not to disappoint the Master who to him was a gift made him a disciple.
“Is there something you don't understand yet??? Be it Spells, the release of soul energy and herbal ingredients to make the wound close fast??” ask Sima Yong.
“I have understood it Master. I memorized the mantra already Jiang Fai replied.
“Good, then you can cast spells and sprinkle herbs to cover the wounds of the following soldiers” Sima Yong said defiantly.
“Fish but master…. Me...” Hesitating Jiang Fai answered his master's challenge. If it was just an ordinary incision wound, he was extremely proficient. However, the wounds of this soldier in addition to the deep external wounds, he was also injured inside due to the tail of the Shark Monster just now. And it was the attack wound of a high rank monster.
“You should try from now” Sima Yong said firmly.
Trying to throw off any doubt, Jiang Fai voiced out loud...
“Good Master. I'll try” Jiang Fai then sprinkle the herbs that the master took out. His hand formed a seal then his lips moved to cast the spell he had learned earlier.
Warm energy shot out from his hands when exerting soul force united with medicine.2 times the tea meal.Jiang Fai wiped away the sweat pouring profusely on his forehead.
“You look to master the Healing Technique quickly, in the future if you practice often, you will not need a long time to unify such tear wounds” Sima Yong said. He was satisfied with the work of that young Alchemist Named Jiang Fai. The wounds looked pretty neat when they were close together.
“You can stay here for a while. It would be best to report to me in case there was bleeding from the wounds of those two soldiers” Sima Yong then left Jia Fang at the ship's medicine hall.

Sima Yong walked out of the Medicine Hall and met Prince Ju Qin and the others.
“Thank you for Mr. Yong's help. If only you were not with us, I do not know anymore what would happen to the members of my elite squad”, said Laio Quon, who repeatedly thanked me.
As the Captain of the Elite Army, he was indeed very loyal to all members of his army. Therefore, they were also members of the army who had a higher sense of loyalty to Laio Quon.
"Duk duk duk" the sound of shoes hit the deck of the ship. Someone came in a hurry.....
“Are we not too tense in the last few days?? Why don't we have some fun for a moment before we face the next monster test???” Prince Ju Qin came to the deck carrying a jar of wine.
Walking behind him were two female ladies on top of each of them, a tray containing two wine jars.
“This is a special wine distilled using a mixture of Plum flowers imported specially from Negri far across the sea”
“You can taste each one sip.. hahaha of course because you will be in charge of maintaining the stability of the flight of this ship, then I do not allow too much to drink”.
Then Prince Ju Qin launched the liquor into his neck, flowing favorably. He divided up into massive soldiers one gulp each, “guna to ease his mind after this endless battle” said.
Of course the offer was not wasted by the soldiers who had actually also been under the pressure of fighting in these few days. Maybe a sip, .. ah maybe two or three sips will ease the mind and make it feel relaxed muscles. Shamelessly the liquid flowed through the necks of each of those soldiers. They then dissolve in laughter.
Liao Quon tried to keep his face from changing. He strongly disagreed to see the troops eating liquor as long as they were on duty. With a heavy heart he asserted When Prince Ju Qin said “this is just two sips to relieve the pressure due to endless fighting, in these few days”
Sima Yong, the Prince of Ju Qin, Ju Lianyi and the two eight-star sect heads were seated on a small bench surrounding a table on which were located four wine jars. The smell of roast meat was gushing from the inside of the ship or rather the kitchen. Two maidservants who had been carrying wine were now seen struggling with trays of hot roasted meat steaming omens that had just been lifted from the burning, which was cooked with a special recipe.
The five male servants carried the special trays of cooked meat and were distributed to the soldiers and the windbenders. Of course, the kind and special treatment of the prince, thus imprinted in the hearts of those people. secretly they were inwardly going to support Prince Ju Qin to become the Crown Prince, the next Great Emperor.
Until dusk approached, there had been no strange events that would attack the spirit ship. Sima Yong repeatedly refused subtly, the prince's offer and others for the meat dishes that evoked the interest in eating.
He only grabbed fruit and some light bread or biscuits when invited to eat meat. In the end when he was pushed over and over again, he explained…
“Jingling Cauldron does not eat dishes containing living things. It will affect our magic power..”.
“Again.. dishes containing blood will make us weak in tracking the presence of enemies who have blood elements in their bodies. Human or animal spirits that bleed for example.” Sima Yong said ending his explanation.
When she saw the foreign-pitched gazes coming out of those people when she heard “jingling”, she just flicked a little kid of hair who always covered her ears and said,
“I nanren half Jingling..” ears although not as pointed as jingling, but looks more tapered when compared to humans generally.
Then in a compact tone everyone forms the letter “O” in their mouth. It was realized why the young man looked young like a teenager in his teens, and his beautiful face was decorated with skin so young like the skin of a baby.
To kill the awkward atmosphere after he revealed a bit of his identity. Sima Yong himself offered to play music.
“Have you ever heard of a stream of Soul Techniques called Death Rhythm or Soul Musicians?”
Everyone was astonished to hear the name Sima Yong spoke,
“Alright. I will play a song using the Deathly Rhythm Technique or precisely the Soul Musician technique. This time the technique is not the part that will attack the opponent, this is but the opposite".
"This music will help restore your soul if it is the one who has suffered a soul wound. But if the condition of your soul is fine, surely by listening to this tone, your soul will experience strengthening.
Then accompanied by everyone's astonished gazes, Sima Yong plucked the Kecapi (Guzheng) and played soul-medicating music. Everyone is hypnotized. Even the soldiers who were either on guard, or were being treated and in the healing period were stunned to hear the music of the introduction of the soul.
“Tringg... “ last quote signifies the last note has finished playing and Sima Yong smilingly gazes at all who are silent in silence. Some people even shed tears.
“Brother Yong.. er..” hesitates Prince Ju Qin asked something.
“Is that prince? You can ask me anything”
“Do you mind playing one more song? It feels like I'm going to break through when I hear that soul introductory music” replied the prince timidly……
