THE SKY SWORDSMAN
Ch 43 - Attack of the Five Golden Shield II
The sound waves of the Devil Flute broke Ryusa's concentration as she got closer to the source of the sound. He felt his body move become extremely heavy when he was tens of meters away from the source of the sound. He took a breath and tried to resist the pressure of the sound waves of the Devil Flute using his profound strength.
'My inner strength will quickly diminish if not immediately find the swordsman who rang this flute' Ryusa then continued her search after pausing for a moment.
Ryusa stopped her steps. He looked up, 'apparently he was there.'
A middle-aged man, blue-robed, thick-browed, long-haired and wearing an eye patch on his left eye was standing on a leaf while blowing a green-colored flute in his hand.
The man's feet barely touched the leaves and looked like they were floating. The power of the sound waves generated by the flute made all the dry leaves that were originally on the ground surface now float and circle the blue-robed swordsman.
Ryusa did not want to waste time, she immediately pulled out a few small knives from her waist and threw them towards Zen Kai the flute blower.
Three blades shot out at high speed and broke through the leaves surrounding Zen Kai.
Suddenly, the knife, which was a meter away from Zen Kai's body, stopped as the rhythm of the flute changed.
The second blast of the Devil Flute made the Knives turn around and glide at high speed towards Ryusa.
Ryusa, who was unable to fully concentrate due to the influence of the flute's voice, could not see the blades that were sliding towards her clearly. He chose to avoid repelling the attack that almost hit him.
Not only did the dried leaves that had been circling Zen Kai now circled around him and was about to wrap his body.
'Damn...' Ryusa jumps back to avoid the dry leaves.
The flute's sound is getting more violent. The green plants that were within a ten-meter radius of Zen Kai's standing position slowly withered and turned brownish in color.
'Wire... What kind of power is this? I haven't even touched it at all." Ryusa was sweating coldly. He really did not expect the power of the flute to be so great.
As he tried to resist the sound waves of the Devil Flute using his profound strength, he just grew weaker and felt his entire body barely being able to move.
'How's this? I can't even pull out a move... Then I can die." Ryusa knelt on the ground and started coughing blood.
As Ryusa's vision began to blur, five human figures higher and larger than ordinary humans in general approached and helped her stand up.
One of the Hidden People then told briefly how to overcome the influence of the voice of the Devil Flute.
'Nara...? How does he know all this?" Ryusa then let one of the Hidden People pour water that was deliberately brought by them into his ear hole.
Zen Kai was unaware of what Ryusa and the five Hidden People were doing. He still blew the Devil Flute with his fun.
Zen Kai gasped and stopped his blow. He suddenly sensed that there were some people surrounding him from all directions.
He had not yet opened his eyes that he had closed, a blow accompanied by a huge deep energy landed right on his chest.
Zen Kai bounced for tens of meters. The trees he hit when he bounced, fell due to the impact of his body. He eventually fell and fell on the ground.
'Shit!" Zen Kai was wide. The Devil Flute was no longer in his hands. He turned his eyes everywhere.
"Hohoho... Are you looking for this?" Ryusa smiled sinisterly towards Zen Kai. He thrust the green flute towards Zen Kai, but had no intention of handing it over. He just wanted to make fun of Zen Kai who had almost killed him.
"How do you know how to overcome the power of the Devil Flute?" Although he had barely run out of energy, Zen Kai could not help but find out who had leaked the secret of his Demon Flute.
Zen Kai tried to sit up while holding onto his badly injured chest.
"Good... So you don't die of curiosity, I'll tell you." Ryusa walked over to Zen Kai, "It seems like this information came from one of the members of the Wind Gizzards Sect that we captured."
Zen Kai frowned as he clenched his teeth, "Miya?!" resentment enveloped his heart, he did not think his adopted son was the one who had revealed the secret of his nurse and resulted in him soon to die.
"Master... I'm Zen Kai the elder of the Wind Gizzards Sect, I know in a moment that I will die, please fulfill my one request!"
Ryusa smiled, she did not expect that Zen Kai who looked so handsome was able to ask for help from her.
"Well, I'll fulfill it for you."
"I won't ask you to forgive my life or the life of my adopted son Miya... I just want you to tell my foster son that I deserve to die." Zen Kai coughed and spat out a lot of blood from his mouth, "I'm the one who killed both of his parents... Please also tell me that I sincerely love him and consider him as my own son."
Ryusa smiled again, this time she was a little amazed to hear Zen Kai say. He could see the sincerity of Zen Kai's heart when he took the words out of his mouth.
'It turns out people like you have affection too, ' Ryusa thought.
"Now you can kill me" said Zen Kai, closing his eyes.
Ryusa then gives a warning to one of the Hidden People to kill Zen Kai.
Zen Kai's head was rolling on the ground when a sword slash had just passed through his neck. Fresh blood gushed from his neck and along with it his body fell into the earth.

"What's this about? why does the rhythm change so quickly?" goemon murmured. He realized there was an oddity behind the voice of the Devil Flute that suddenly changed.
"What are you worried about, Elder Goemon?" senjiro Syndir.
Everyone is focusing their attention on Goemon. They can't wait for the cue from Goemon to get into action.
"Yes, Elder Goemon! isn't that a sign that we're starting to attack?" kendo wants to move immediately.
Fujiwara Otai, the elder of the Fujiwara Clan as well as the leader of the Five Golden Shield glanced at Goemon with a sharp gaze. He who had been sitting quietly on a horse while twisting his beard was also curious to see Goemon gelagat.
"Goemons..." Otai who had not called Goemon by the name of the elder surprised Goemon, "Why silence?"
Goemon frowned and clenched his teeth in the face of pressure from those around him.
"All...! cry Goemon, "Now is the time!"
All the Elders then gave their respective squads a cue to move forward towards the Forbidden Forest.
