THE SKY SWORDSMAN
Ch 20 - Firon's Strength
Commander Jio, who considered Mr. Murai's silence a rejection, then ordered his members to attack first.
“Do not waste time, finish quickly!” Commandant Jio who then jumps on the roof of the school.
The school's warriors seemed confused to see Commander Jio's actions which looked like people were about to retreat.
“God of War” Shouts all Elite Forces members simultaneously.
The Elite Army members then formed a line resembling Trisula. A golden-yellow light suddenly appeared above the head of every member of the Elite Force so that the light appeared to be a trident-like intersection.
“Trisula Penghur” Again the members of the Elite Squad shouted while releasing the form of the God of War formation towards the school leaders who were in front of them.
The school's warriors bounced instantly hit the school building behind him. The school building was destroyed. Some of the schoolgirls who were hit by the War God Formation were instantly killed, the remaining warriors were severely injured and unable to stand up.
“How, you guys still want to fight?” Commander Jio smiled haughtily towards Mr. Murai.
“Then this is the case, we will all die silly if we still fight!” Mr. Murai was still at a loss to take a stance.
“Alright, I'm handing Young Master Firon over to you. Now I'll pick him up inside!”
Given the strength he possessed it was impossible to put up a fight against the Empire's Elite Army, Lord Murai finally decided to hand Firon over to them.
“Now you bring the boy before me!” Commander Jio gave the order.
Mr. Murai then hurriedly stepped towards the tunnel where Firon and the others were hiding.
Inside the rather dark tunnel, Firon and his comrades accompanied by Master Guyo looked anxious and curious about what was going on.
“Teacher Guyo gave Firon to me, only he can help us!” Said Mr. Murai who appeared from behind the tunnel door.
“What do you mean Mr Murai?” Master Guyo really did not understand the meaning of Mr. Murai's words.
Mr. Murai who understood the confusion that Teacher Guyo had experienced, then brought his mouth closer to Master Guyo's ears and whispered, “We must hand Firon over to them or we will all die. Some senior warriors have been killed and others seriously injured. They are very strong and it is impossible for us to be able to fight them!.”
Teacher Guyo frowned. He fell silent as he looked at Firon who was walking towards him.
“Master Murai, Master Guyo! It's okay, I already know everything. I even learned that both my parents were dead!” Firon looks beaten but tries to stay strong.
Mr. Murai and Master Guyo were shocked to hear the words of the seven-year-old boy before him.
“Firon, how do you know all that?” Master Guyo looked at Firon with a look of pity. He was also surprised, why Firon could find out the news of the death of his parents even though he himself did not know. Moreover, they were already inside the tunnel before those soldiers barged into the school.
“I heard it from the guy who attacked the school. I also heard what Mr Murai said just now!” Firon stared intently at Mr. Murai.
“Young Master, forgive me! I have no other choice!” Lord Murai tried to make Firon understand about his actions. But he also did not understand, what knowledge the seven-year-old had so that he was able to hear the voice of Commander Jio who was at a distance of hundreds of meters. Especially if they are in a closed room.
“Master Murai need not worry.I understand your purpose of handing me over to them!” Firon then stepped out of the tunnel towards where Commander Jio was.
Commander Jio was somewhat impressed to see a boy slowly stepping towards him. The little boy did not show any trepidation before the dozens of soldiers who were about to kill him. The soldier who witnessed the attitude of the seven-year-old boy became astonished and amazed.
“He is not at all afraid of us!”
The soldiers looked at each other and whispered to each other.
Firon's eyes were so cold. He continued to step up to the distance of Commander Jio and himself only three steps away.
Although Commander Jio was somewhat impressed by Firon's bravery, he was not at all wary even though he was already within Firon's reach. To him, Firon was just a crazy boy who already had no veins of fear.
Just as Commander Jio turned his head towards his troops about to give the order to snatch Firon alive, suddenly a sword thrust made of wood stuck right in his left eye.
“A..what are you doing boy?” Commander Jio screamed very loudly. He really did not expect that the boy he considered not a threat would dare to attack him.
“That's the pay you have to accept for disturbing our order!” Firon looks satisfied to have injured Commander Jio.
“I know you guys will definitely kill me, for that I want to give you a mark so you can always remember me old man!” Firon then jumped about to strike back at Commander Jio.
Before Firon managed to land his punch on Commander Jio's body, a sword suddenly stuck in his back pierced through his chest.
Firon groaned in pain. Fresh blood flowed from his mouth and nose. The soldier who stabbed him from behind then pulled out the sword that was still stuck in Firon's body.
Firon then fell to the ground unconscious.
“Commander, he's dead. Now what do we do with the body?” Said the soldier who had stabbed Firon.
“Chopping him! I don't want anything left but his head!” Said Commander Jio while holding his left eye which was still draining blood. He was eager to destroy Firon's entire body in return for his actions, but he had to leave his head to bring him before General Moo.

“What happened? Am I late?” Malaga became worried to see the condition of the school gate from a distance.
Malaga then flew using his wings towards the school. He was so shocked when he saw Firon already lying on the ground covered in blood.
“Ah.. I'm late!” Malaga felt a deep disappointment because he did not have time to help Sintoga's only grandson.
Seeing one of the soldiers about to slash Firon's neck, Malaga quickly took Firon's body using the Teleportation Science he had.
“SSHAAPP”
The sword of the soldier who was about to slash Firon's neck hit the ground.
“What the fuck is this?” The soldier was surprised not to play.
“Where's the body?”
Everyone who witnessed the incident looked confused. No one among them could have digested the event that had just happened.
“Sial, Search all these places. Don't let anyone escape!” Commander Jio's orders growled.
