The Legend of the Devil

Ch. 59 - Early Stalls Day

A quiet night in the forest brings bad news, where they are attacked as the three sleep. Jiazhen Yan awakens realizing Xue Zhan has disappeared. No marks, no traces. All clean. Xian Shen was shaken like an earthquake.

Neither of them was hurt. Only Xue Zhan was taken, Jiazhen Yan concluded that this kidnapping was not an ordinary assault.

"Damn it!"

*

The sound of a spear knocking on the wooden floor came to a halt when the young man tied to the chair came to a realization. Realizing one was staring at him from top to bottom, the source of the knocking sound came from him.

Xue Zhan spewed blood. He had revolted before being taken to this place and ended up unconscious, when he saw around what appeared to be an abandoned swordsman's residence. Pretty magnificent for the size of the city, like a house in general the house is full of tables, chairs, reading rooms are separated by sliding doors. As far as the catch is concerned they are just the two there.

"Who else are you?"

"It didn't take me two minutes to guess who I was, huh?" He was amazed, Xue Zhan welcomed.

"You must be her friend the girl."

"You're right." A straight look of a slanted smile adorned his face. "But I won't let you loose like that stupid girl did."

Xue Zhan looked at the mask on the man's face and only realized the threat that had been lurking from the beginning.

Red Fangs infiltrated the Intermediate Swordsman Exam and attacked behind the darkness, taking this opportunity to kill him under the pretext of being killed while taking the test. It made more sense than having to deal with Diqiu Empire head-on.

"Do you know the situation you're in?"

Xue Zhan prepared as the man began to raise his weapon, looked around and found his sword placed in the front room. The Holy Spear belonging to the man named Lan Shuiyang circled above his head, time was getting suffocating, Xue Zhan used his mouthpiece.

"The Dance of the Wind Sword."

A thin wind loop whirled at the foot of the chair, a sharp wind cut through the ropes that bound his body. Xue Zhan rolled on the floor and dodged as the rubble of the wooden chair was split apart by Lan Shuiyang's blow. The enemy looked at him and was about to catch on, Xue Zhan ran as fast as possible occasionally looking back where his opponent kept turning the weapon and dropping it onto the floor which instantly split him by several meters.

"Run like a coward! Ahhhhhhh!"

Xue Zhan suddenly stopped, the squeak of his footsteps sounded for quite a while and his hand immediately grasped his sword.

"Hey, you know what? Out there people started looking for your head, eyes, hands, horns, blood and all your organs. You're becoming a contested trade. But take it easy, I won't let you suffer because I'm going to finish you right here!"

Xue Zhan was intending to fend off but the loud bang sent his body bouncing against the pillar of the room, he dodged to the left quickly as the enemy spear came and nearly cut his head in half.

Xue Zhan was reluctant to think about the man's words, he focused on the fight as it was not impossible that he would not survive. Yesterday's girl just got her battered mercilessly. This time Xue Zhan would not be careless and use supreme vigilance.

"I won't show you my gap."

The opponent unmasked him because his sultry view also became limited to only looking through a small hole. Xue Zhan could see the middle-aged man's face.

With the sword still sheathed Xue Zhan fended off the attacks one by one, following the tempo of the opponent's fast and dangerous fight.

Lan Shuiyang inserted attacks from the direction of his shoulders, chest, waist and legs. Xue Zhan jumped high, dodging all attacks with his highest concentration. After seeing the fight the young man and the girl before the big difference felt. This time Xue Zhan was more prepared and might have already prepared himself for this fight back.

It sounded not so effective but Lan Shuiyang was still confident, Xue Zhan was not a match for him. Lan Shuiyang's feet kicked one chair up and kicked it towards Xue Zhan who was still jumping in the air.

The chair was split in two. Lan Shuiyang screeched in excitement at once blindly, unleashing an unreasonable streak of attacks until Xue Zhan started to get overwhelmed.

"That eye will be mine! Those beautiful eyes ... It's more beautiful to pair for me!"

Apparently that was the purpose of the man, that was Xue Zhan's eyes. It could not be lied to that Xue Zhan's eye ability was twice as great as a human eye. His sharpness was so helpful in any fight. That was what Lan Shuiyang had been craving. Not just his eyes, but all the things that Xue Zhan had.

Amidst the onslaught Xue Zhan managed to draw his sword into the mouth of the enemy, it slipped out of its scabbard as Lan Shuiyang bit and threw aside.

There was a charming sword sharp blade in Xue Zhan's hand.

Lan Shuiyang sighed, "The sword is not bad either. Even though it's smaller than your eyes."

He chased after Xue Zhan who had run to the first floor, his steps halted for a moment when unwittingly a single bowl of iron was thrown into his eye.

"Civilized!"

From beside Lan Shuiyang shattering his long spear, splitting the pillar of the room like paper and instantly the crackling roof would collapse if the fight continued.but it seemed that Lan Shuiyang did not care, his step forward cornered Xue Zhan. The wood spear held the straight of Xue Zhan's sword, both of them fighting for power.

Xue Zhan retreated all the way to the barrier where he could fall from the second floor to the middle of the first floor. The opponent just kicked him, just like that, Xue Zhan tried to throw something but failed to hit Lan Shuiyang who had already jumped towards him by lifting a spear and was about to do the same - splitting Xue Zhan's body in half.

Xue Zhan landed on the long table and instantly rolled to the side, the wood beside him being crushed making quite a loud noise by the opponent's huge spear. Unexpectedly Lan Shuiyang's burly hand managed to catch Xue Zhan and instantly raised him to the point of not being able to tread.

"It's easy to catch a rat like you."

Xue Zhan who was trying to release the grip of the enemy's hand suddenly pointed upwards.

Lan Shuiyang was then startled to release it and pulled out a sword, the iron that was hung using a thin wire falling down towards him.

Lan Shuiyang was partially hit and the table where he stood was formless. Xue Zhan coughed, the forceful grip made him unable to breathe for a few seconds.

Lan Shuiyang had just recalled the moment he came down and swung his spear Xue Zhan threw a small disc-like sharp weapon, a type of disc, deliberately did not hit it as a trickster and apparently used to sever the iron wire hanging above them.

"Next time I won't let you off the hook, clever boy." His words implied a threat, he put away the blood coming out from the corner of the lips, this fight was getting more and more interesting for him.
