The Legend of Hao Tian

ch. 54 more demons?

A few hours before the incident of the attack of the demons to the city of Bianfu, it was seen Hao Tian was preparing to return to continue the journey. He plans to leave that day too.

But before that, he first knocked on the door of Xue Yun's room to tell them that they were leaving that day. Because last night Hao Tian did not have time to tell him because Xue Yun had slept first.

" Xue Yun, get up, quickly get up. We're leaving so get ready quick." Hao Tian continued to slowly knock on the door as he spoke, yet there was no answer at all.

Hao Tian continued to call Xue Yun and knocked on the door but there was no answer. Having already ignited emotions Hao Tian immediately shouted at Xue Yun in a louder voice.

" Xue Yun..! Quick out. If you don't come out now then I'll smash this door down. So hurry out before that happens."

Since there was still no Answer, Hao Tian started clenching his fists and prepared to punch the door of Xue Yun's room.

But before he could hit the door there was a faint sound from the room." Who's that?"

" who, who. It's me Hao Tian quickly out there's nothing I want to say."

After that then Xue Yun started to open the door of his room. " What's up? Why so much so early in the morning." Said Xue Yun in a faint tone.

Back then Xue Yun was still wearing the clothes he had worn last night, with a face that was still tangled, and hair that was still messy. There was even light around his cheeks.

Although Hao Tian was a little surprised by Xue Yun's mess, he still conveyed the intent of his arrival.

" Hurry get ready, shower or all sorts of things because we're leaving today."

" Today? Why so suddenly, ooahh." Xue Yun said then he yawned afterwards.

" It's not that sudden but I already decided it last night and intended to tell you after we ate but you went straight into the room and slept so I didn't have time to tell you."

" Why don't we leave tomorrow?"

" I don't have enough time to laze around, if you don't eat I'll leave you and go alone."

" Well, I'll take a shower and get ready. Wait a minute." Xue Yun then intended to close the door as he was going to bathe first. However before he closed the door, Hao Tian directly held onto Xue Yun's arm.

" What? Just sec. Try not to use the word for a second, because I'm a little traumatized by that word. If you can change that word immediately. Understood?"

" Don't go too far." Said Xue Yun while releasing Hao Tian's hand from his arm.

" I'm not exaggerating, I'm serious right now. Try changing the word immediately." Said Hao Tian while glaring towards Xue Yun.

Uncomfortable with Hao Tian's gaze, Xue Yun immediately accepted his request. " Alright, I'll get ready soon so please wait for me and I'll be out soon." Say it while pressing the word immediately."

After that Xue Yun directly entered and closed the door loudly until it made Hao Tian startled.

" Oh, you little girl." Said Hao Tian in an annoyed tone.

Then Hao Tian continued to investigate the needs that would be needed later on when they returned to continue the journey.

Half an hour later Hao Tian had already finished preparing all their necessities and was just waiting for Xue Yun to come out of his room.

Looking at Xue Yun who was still not out, made Hao Tian annoyed again and intended to kick his bedroom door.

But he had not yet reached the front door of Xue Yun's room, it opened and Xue Yun came out. " I'm ready."

It seemed Xue Yun was wearing a hanfu outfit that was not much different from the one he wore last night. It looks blue and black and has a floral motif. But the ornaments he wears still remain the same as the one he wore last night

" Good, let's go soon." Said Hao Tian while sighing after he spoke.

The two began to leave their rooms and immediately descended the stairs all the way to the first floor. Because there in addition to the place to eat there is also the exit.

The instant they were about to exit the inn, Xue Yun suddenly pulled Hao Tian's arm. " Wouldn't we eat before we leave."

" Just relax, I've bought some food and kept it in the space ring. So you don't have to worry."

" I haven't eaten yet, and I'm hungry right now. Shouldn't we eat for a while."

Yet Hao Tian did not respond to it and then simply took out a piece of loaf of bread from his spatial ring and threw it at Xue Yun." Eat it first as a stomach crank." Then he immediately walked over again leaving Xue Yun speechless.

" Aahh you stubborn base." Said Xue Yun with an annoyed tone and face. Then he also started eating the bread while walking after Hao Tian.

After the two of them exited the inn, Hao Tian instead went to one of the mansions instead of heading towards the city gate. This left Xue Yun perplexed for a moment and then decided to ask.

" Why are we here? Aren't we going to the city gate?"

" He was but before that we should greet the princess first and tell her that we are leaving today. After all he's been kind enough to give us a room to rest."

" Huh you're so polite, I don't think you'd be like that. But why would your attitude change if it was related to that princess."

" I'm not changing with Song Hua's daughter but it's courtesy."

There were two soldiers standing guard in front of Song Hua's house. As Hao Tian arrived in front of the entrance, there was suddenly the sound of a bell signaling danger from the direction of the city gate.

The two soldiers guarding the entrance immediately panicked and entered the house without speaking.

The residents also started to panic and run around.

Seeing that made Xue Yun wary." What's that noise? What the hell is going on?" Xue Yun asked who was behind Hao Tian.

" danger? What danger is that?"

" I don't know, I don't know either. But since we're in this town then we'll know soon."

Shortly afterwards dozens of soldiers came out from the house where Song Hua was staying. And Song Hua started coming out also accompanied by General Guan.

" Mister Hao, Miss Xue Yun, what are you doing up front here?" Song Hua asked the two as she was shocked by the arrival of the two.

" We actually intend to talk about something, but instead we postpone it because there are more urgent problems." Said Hao Tian with a serious face.

Song Hua nodded her head in agreement with Hao Tian's words and focused more of his attention on what was to befall this city.

Soon there was a soldier who came to them in a hurry. " Report princess, general, there's a horde of demons attacking this city. It is estimated that there are a hundred, most of which are stealth equivalent to expert warriors but some are in the king swordsman stage."

" There are only two king warriors on our side, namely me and master Hao Tian, while there are some demons that are equivalent to the king swordsman. I think it's gonna be a tough fight."

" Therefore princess, I urge the princess to evacuate immediately to safety let me and master Hao Tian as well as some of the soldiers who left. Master Hao Tian I ask for his help once again." Said general Guan.

" It's not a problem at all." Hao Tian said

"But I don't want to go, people here are in trouble but my uncle told me to go. No, I'm not leaving. I wouldn't do such a cowardly act." Song Hua's daughter said seriously.

" But princess, this is going to be very dangerous. Even we alone would have a hard time sticking around there." Continue general Guan.

" Uncle Guan, I've decided."

Seeing the face of Song Hua's daughter who had already made up her resolve, then General Guan could only sigh resignedly." All right but the princess can't be far from me, do you understand."

" Thank you uncle." said Song Hua with a satisfied smile.

" All right, let's go." General Guan is leading. Then they started moving together towards the city gate.

It didn't take long for them to arrive in front of the city gate, but the gate had already been broken through by the demons and started to attack blindly.

" Soldier, attack!!" Seeing the demons that had broken through the gate made General Guan have to act quickly and finally he had all his soldiers help other soldiers in overcoming the onslaught of the demons.

But even so, it appears that the soldiers are still in trouble against the demons. " I'm first." Seeing that Xue Yun directly jumped towards one of the demons and fought with him.

" I'll go too." Looking at Xue Yun who was already fighting, made Hao Tian follow him. He began to jump into one of the king's demons a dozen meters from its starting place and landed right in front of the demon.

It looks like a big bear with four meters of sharp teeth and has longer claws in general bears.

But even so, Hao Tian was still able to overcome the demon and slowly he began to corner the bear demon. Hao Tian cut off the bear's arm and followed its head.

After Hao Tian finished ending the demon's life, he immediately looked towards Xue Yun. But he was fine even he had managed to defeat the demon he was fighting. Seeing that Hao Tian headed straight towards the other demon king.

General Guan wanted to help, but for him the safety of Song Hua's daughter was the main thing for him. Therefore he simply stood near Song Hua and watched the battle. He could only fight and kill demons that were towards them even if it was just a demon equivalent to an expert swordsman.

" Uncle Guan, what did uncle do? Why doesn't uncle help the others." Song Hua said annoyedly. Because even though Hao Tian and the others had intervened, there were still many dangerous demons that were free without supervision.

" But princess, I can't just leave you alone. I promised the king that I would prioritize your salvation in every way."

" But Uncle Guan, right now the army is in need of uncle's abilities. Forget that task and that responsibility, the main task of a general is to ensure the safety of the citizens and help if needed. So now that I am the princess of the Song Empire, I order General Guan to join the battle." Said Song Hua in a firm tone.

" Okay, princess, I'll go. But before that I have to take you to a safe place there." General Guan pointed towards the tall tower that stood not far behind them.

Princess Song Hua also did not mind and nodded, general Guan began to lift Song Hua's body and bring her to the tower.

General Guan was confident that the tower was tall and sturdy enough so that Song Hua could be safely out of the reach of the demons.

" Your princess stay here, and please remember this. If you feel in danger quickly yell and I'll be here soon. Please remember that."

" All right." Song Hua. Then General Guan began to jump down from the tower and immediately headed towards the demon equivalent of a master swordsman. And then he started fighting fiercely with that demon.

On the other side of the west we have three adults watching the battle remotely. All three were the brains of the disaster that befell the city of Bianfu. They made the demons angry and then they managed to make the demons attack the city.

" It seems like it's time we go."

" Right, now everyone is focusing on fighting the demons so we can secretly approach Song Hua's daughter and kill her."

" I also think so, alright then we leave now. Kill him quickly."

Instantly the three began to secretly approach the princess without anyone being aware of the existence of the three.

As they had already managed to get close to princess Song Hua in the tower, one of them quickly slashed his sword towards Song Hua's neck. And in a few seconds the blade of the sword will hit Song Hua's neck.

But just as the blade was about to cut Song Hua's neck, there was a fist-sized stone that headed towards the sword and hit him. The result of the person who was willing to kill Song Hua retreated several meters from his initial distance.

" Pang!" Instantly there was a clashing sound near Song Hua. This also made Song Hua shocked by what had just happened.

It was not just one stone that led to the three of them but there were two others. The other two stones targeted two people who were still hiding.

The two stones almost hit both of them but they managed to dodge. But it made them angry and scream.

" Who is that?"
