The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#169. First Impression
The cloud-covered twilight that afternoon became the beginning of the meeting between Xiao Yan and Guan Yu and Maruka.
"Indeed, the walls of this cave are made of stone, but these stones have been very fragile to become flammable" said the old man did not want to lose, then flicking his finger on the wall of the cave to make the rocks on the wall of the cave cracked and some of it fell.
For Xiao Yan and Guan Yu who had started to learn the basics of martial arts, they could already tell if the old man before them was using his inner strength to do just that..
Although what the old man did amazed them, because only a flick of a finger was able to make the cave wall vibrate to cause a crack.. it's just that the attitude of not wanting to lose shown by the grandfather made the two look at each other while holding back a laugh.
"Well cake.then I will extinguish the fire." said Guan relented.and tried to extinguish the fire he had made with great difficulty using his feet.
"Hey.. hey..wait..!! if you put out that fire..How will we burn this meat..?? " shouted the old man.
"Or do you like to eat raw meat, right..? " the old geezer continued while bringing his face closer to Xiao Yan and Guan Yu.
Guan Yu went awry, the old man they met told them to put out the fire, but this time, the old man again blamed him for putting out the fire.. Guan Yu could only scratch his non-itchy head and then try to rekindle the fire he had just extinguished.
"Grandfather freak..!! " the curse in the heart.
" Well, it seems like I met two little warriors this time, "the old geezer muttered as he watched the little sword carried by Xiao Yan and Guan Yu.
"We are not a cake swordsman, although we would like to one day be a great swordsman like my father" Xiao Yan said, then sheathed a sword at his waist.
"Damn.. still can't..!! this is all because - because grandfather told me to put it out earlier. ", said Guan Yu annoyed and threw away the wood he used as a lighter by swiping two wooden surfaces.
The old grandfather was surprised to see Guan Yu's attitude and then checked the wood used by Guan Yu to light a fire.
"Hmm. just deserve it. This wood is a little wet.so it will be a little difficult to light a fire. "said the old man while paying attention to the twigs of wood one by one.
"And it's all because grandfather told me to put it out. when the fire had started. " said Guan Yu still looks upset.The two debates even seen if done by two people of the same age.
"Hahaha.. is that so..?! hmm. alright.then I apologize.." said the old man, then put his palm on a pile of wood, and slowly a small fire came out from his palm and slowly began to burn the branches of wood.
Xiao Yan and Guan Yu looked on with astonishment at the ability shown by the old geezer before them but the old geezer seemed to ignore him.
"Well, the fire is lit. The meat can be burned" said the old man who was not answered by the two children in front of him who were still silent after seeing his ability.
As crown prince and son of a general.. Xiao Yan and Guan Yu had already seen the abilities of a high-level swordsman, yet only this time did they witness someone being able to let out flames from his palm.
"Hey... What's wrong with you two.??!. Why just shut up..??! quickly put the meat on the fire.or the wood will run out for free. "the old man's shout and resuscitate both.
"Grandfather..how did grandfather do that..?? will grandpa teach me..? " said Guan Yu expectantly.
"Teaching you..??! now take the cut meat - cut it and put it on the fire..! " said the old man while setting an example.
"How'S..?! easy right..?! " said the grandfather with a smile.
"It's not a cake, if we only burn meat we can also.. " The Xiao Yan who from just now was just silent also started to look annoyed.
"Then..?! " the old geezer looked indifferent as he put more pieces of meat on the fire.
"Fire.. !!fire.. !! from the palm of "Guan Yu flipped his palm exemplifying.
"Ooh..it...!! this is how it works..!! " the grandfather reopened his palm and this time the fire that came out of his palm was bigger until it covered the palm up to his wrist.
Xiao Yan and Guan Yu had to shift from their seats because the heat caused by the fire was hot as they were one step away from the grandfather.
"Yes prince.It is better that we go home. "reply to Guan Yu while standing.
"Eat first...!! after all, it was still raining outside and it was dark, let alone a lot of wild animals that roamed at night like this. "parents try to calm the two children and scare them.
"Night..?! really..?! " Xiao Yan could not believe the old grandfather's words and looked out and only the torrential rain and darkness he saw.
"Prince...how is this..?! " Guan Yu, who was also looking out, panicked, as he was angry with his father General Guan Seng for bringing the crown prince into danger.
"Just calm down, the soldiers must be looking for us right now." replied Xiao Yan covering up his worries trying to calm Guan Yu who looked riled up.
"Eat first..!! you will need a lot of energy to deal with wild animals later, " said the grandfather as he squatted offering two pieces of cooked meat.
"So you said prince..?! are you the son of......?!
"Xiao Feng. emperor Han "the grandfather dented his words as Guan Yu interrupted his conversation.
"ooh... that weak emperor huh..?? I don't understand how a weak person like him can become an emperor..?! " said the grandfather while stroking - elus his long beard.
"Quite old grandpa..!! I can't accept that you insult my father like that. My father was a great warrior who was respected throughout the Han empire.. " Xiao Yan stood up while saying loudly and unsheathed his sword.
"Hahaha...what are you going to do with your little sword..?? your father was a great swordsman..?? hah. his ability was not even half of the ability possessed by his ancestor. "the old geezer yelled back at Xiao Yan.
"I don't know how great grandfather is. But I can't accept that grandfather keeps insulting my father..!! " The Xiao Yan who was unable to control his emotions came forward attacking the grandfather with his sword.. Guan Yu who saw that also directly helped him.
"Hahaha..dumb..!! you inherited your father's nature..!! " said the old man then took the firewood branch and used it to fend off the attack of Xiao Yan and Guan Yu who came together.
Xiao Yan was further burned with anger when the old man called his father a fool, but the basic level swordplay with Guan Yu was met with laughter by the old man.
With a branch of firewood, the grandfather easily repelled all the attacks carried out with all his might by the two children who were his opponents.. Xiao Yan and Guan Yu grew even more annoyed as the grandfather repelled all of their attacks while yawning.
The firewood branch used by the grandfather looked very strong despite having to face two swords at once, and what made the two children even more hurt was that the grandfather did not even move from his seat.
"Grandfather underestimated us..! accept this..!! " Xiao Yan and Guan Yu went back to attack after taking a few steps back to take a breath.
"Haaah. You bored me..!! " said the grandfather and finally turned around to attack.
Although it only used twigs and without using deep power it could be seen if the swordplay of the grandfather was very fast and effective..
The wooden branch used by the grandfather subtly welcomed the incoming attack and then followed the sword movement of Xiao Yan who began to strike cobbled with Guan Yu as it began to run out of steam and at the last moment.. the grandfather lowered the twig he used towards the sword hilt, and the embers at the end of the twig hit Xiao Yan's wrist and was forced to release his sword.
"Prince..!! " cried Guan Yu intending to go back to attack but was stopped by Xiao Yan.
"He's not our opponent..!! we better just go..!! " Xia Yan said then took back his sword and sheathed it back.
The two children finally decided to leave the cave but only two steps walked towards the mouth of the cave.
"Hahaha.. coward..!! " the grandfather muttered while laughing.
Xiao Yan and Guan Yu paid no heed to the grandfather's words and chose a place near the mouth of the cave to rest.
