The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episodes 159. Xionan, Congratulations. You Finally Live Again

*Grooaahh*

Tuobha directed a fist strike towards Gofan's fist.

*Duuaaarrr*

*Duuaaarrr*

Explosions occurred around both. Although Tuobha's body was much larger than Gofan's, his fist seemed unmoved against the Nine Curse Sky's Fist.

*Grooaahh*

Failing to repel Gofan with a single fist, Tuobha fused her hands together and jumped up high.

Then point the combined hands right at Gofan.

Seeing Tuobha take a swing with a high jump before pointing a punch at him, Gofan pulled his right leg back as his body leaned slightly forward, then with a slight boost of inner strength, Gofan lunged upwards.

*zyuut*

“Hyaahh!!” Gofan shouted as a red light gathered and condensed on both fists of his hands.

Gofan's hands were like wearing a red light glove.

*Duuuaarr*

*Duuaarrr* Explosions from two strikes occurred in mid-air

*The tek crack*Sound of crushed and broken bones rang out from both of Gofan's arms.

“Hyaaa!!” Shouted Gofan, encouraging his fists that were beginning to weaken.

Despite having to fall and die, he would at least manage to give Xionan a new lease of life, such was the implied expression of Gofan's fiery, feisty eyes.

*Duuaaarrr*

The Nine Curses of Heaven's Fist managed to pierce through Tuobha's chest.

“Arrgghhh Shouted Tuobha in pain. A shoulder-width hole looked gaping in his chest.

One by one, the ghosts that were previously absorbed by Tuobha came out of the hole. Tuobha's body shrank back before turning into grains of light that disappeared in the air.

While Gofan managed to pierce through Tuobha's body, he smiled faintly before his consciousness began to disappear. Gofan's down.

“Gofan!?” Xionan shot up, drifting towards Gofan. With his life energy remaining, he forced himself to save Gofan, before falling down and hitting the red ground of the Valley of Death.

[Island of Fire-In A Tent]

Five days passed, since Gofan defeated Tuobha and lost his consciousness.

“You're aware?” Bailaohu asked who was sitting on the edge of Gofan's bed.

“Huhi?.” Gofan nodded slowly while holding his head that felt a little dizzy.

Gofan looked around, “Where is this? Where's Xionan?” Ask.

“Calm down, now that you're in a safe place, we're on Fire Island..”

“Xionan is with Senior Mouhuli and your other teachers. You take it easy.” Bailaohu.

“Really?.. Oh yea.. Fireflowers Thousands of Spirits, I must give them to Xionan.” immediately Gofan said as he hurried up from the bed.

Gofan put on his shoes and clothes and took off some bandages that still wrapped his arms.

“Gofan.” Call Bailaohu as Gofan prepares to get out of the tent.

Gofan turned towards Bailaohu.

“Thank you for killing him.” Bailaohu.

“Kill him? You mean?” Ask Gofan.

Bailaohu got up and approached Gofan, “Thanks to the death of the previous Demon Emperor, the Dimensional Demon seal has completely disappeared.” Bailaohu pointed towards a small box on the table, “That was a deposit from Xionan, he said, he found it while helping you... The matter of the flower, Xionan had already absorbed it. Meet him, he's come back to life.”

Bailaohu came out of the tent.

Gofan approached the table and picked up a small box that Bailaohu had pointed to.

Gofan opens that little box, “Stone of Death.” He muttered softly before depositing it into the Dimensional Ring.

Gofan smiled in relief and rushed out the Tent.

“Thank you for saving Gofan.” Vasudev said to a beautiful girl in two braids.

That girl is Xionan. Now, he had already come back to life and regained his body after absorbing the Thousand Spirit Fire Flower.

“Not a problem. It is I who should thank him. Now I can feel it breathing again.... Hihi”

Xionan's laughter was happy as he repeatedly took a deep breath while jumping around small, excited.

Mouhuli and Vasudev who were near Xionan chuckled at his behavior.

*Tep*

Gofan hugged Xionan from behind. He tightly hugged Xionan's back and stopped him from jumping up and down.

“Nannan... Congratuations. You finally came back to life.” Gofan's whisper in Xionan's ear.

Xionan was stunned, both of his cheeks seemed to be blushing red as he learned the sudden hug was done by Gofan.

“Gofan. Are you feeling better?.” Ask Mouhuli.

Gofan chuckles, “Already Ancestor. Now I'm fine.” Legally.

“Oh yes.. By the way, how could Xionan and I be here?.” Ask Gofan.

“I brought you here.” Vasudev.

Mouhuli nodded softly, while Xionan still lowered his reddened face.

Vasudev later recounted the events that occurred after Gofan who lost consciousness was saved by Xionan.

Five days ago, that night, Vasudev was asleep in a small inn near the Tian Family Residence, in the Land of Halimun. Vasudev stayed there to find information about the Tian Family's movements.

That night, the weather suddenly changed, waking Vasudev and all the people who were in the Land of Halimun.

“Wah... Whatisit? What is a storm in Death Valley?.”

“See.. There was an explosion going on, is there possibly a fight in the Valley of Death?.”

“Who dares to harass those ghosts? His head is huge!.”

“That must be crazy... It was probably a Swordsman who was tired of living.”

“Haha... Is correct. Is correct. He's there to take his life.”

Some of the residents in the Halimun Land crowded around and looked deep towards the Valley of Death. The sounds of lightning, lightning and explosions similar to people fighting were heard and seen by them.

Vasudev also stood among the crowd.

*Deg*

Seeing and hearing that, Vasudev was shocked. He rushed towards the Valley of Death.

Arriving in the Valley of Death...

“Gofan... Be aware... Be aware.” Vasudev said when he found Gofan unconscious and his body floated one inch from the ground.

Vasudev looked around. He took Gofan's body and placed it on top of a large rock whose surface was slightly flat.

Then Vasudev examined Gofan's body. He took out a pill and put it in Gofan's mouth.

“What really happened?, Why did your body come to like this?.” Vasudev muttered when he realized that most of the bones in both of Gofan's arms were crushed and broken.

Vasudev bandaged Gofan's two arms with a bandage that he had flowed with his inner energy.

“Xion. I know, you're here.. Thank you for saving Gofan.” Vasudev told Xionan.

Despite not being able to see Xionan directly, Vasudev guessed that Gofan's body, which had almost fallen and hit the ground earlier, survived and looked like it had been sustained by someone. If not Xionan, who else, that's what Vasudev thought.

“I don't know what has happened, but I hope you are also fine.” Vasudev said as he looked to the right and to the left.

After seeing Gofan treated, Xionan felt calmer, but his body had become more transparent. Some of his legs have even disappeared.

“Aiya... What exactly are you guys doing.?.” Vasudev muttered softly as he saw Gofan lying, unconscious.

Upon hearing Vasudev's murmur, Xionan recalled the flower that Gofan and Tuobha fought over.

Before returning from Hell, Gofan also said that the flower could give Xionan a new life. By absorbing that Flower, Xionan would have a new body.

“Where is that flower? Where does Fanfan keep it?.” Xionan searched around Gofan's body

“This is it..” Xionan said, when he found the Thousand Spirit Fire Flower that Gofan had tucked inside his clothes.

Gofan deliberately, did not keep the flower inside the Dimensional Ring, because, if Gofan did, the Thousand Spirit Fire Flower could have burned the entire contents of the Dimensional Ring of Gofan. Big loss of course.

With life energy remaining, Xionan formed a hand seal and absorbed the Thousand Spirit Fire Flower.

Vasudev who was standing next to Gofan was shocked. Before him, a fiery Flower with black smoke, came out from within Gofan's clothes and floated in the air.

Vasudev just silently watched, as little by little, the sparks turned into red light grains and disappeared somewhere.

Hundreds of breaths later...

Xionan appeared with a naked body in front of Vasudev.

Surprised Vasudev, immediately turned over, “Si-Who are you?.” He turned his back on Xionan.

“Senior. It's me Xionan. Can you give me a dress” Sahut Xionan.

In his shock, Vasudev took out a piece of his clothes and threw it behind him.

**

“That's how it happened and I swear.. I didn't see much” Vasudev said as Xionan tried to prevent her from telling her about her appearance naked at the time.

“Senior-!.” Hit Xionan slowly towards Vasudev's shoulder.

Mouhuli, Vasudev, and Gofan laughed.

“Thank you Gofan. You really have helped me come back to life.” Xionan said as Vasudev and Mouhuli left the two of them.

“Not a problem. After all, if it wasn't for you, there wouldn't be a Gofan standing here.” Gofan said as he reminisced about his first meeting with Xionan.

“Isn't now the right time for you to teach me some powerful moves.” Imbuh Gofan smiled.

“Sure.. Anyway, I promised.” Sahut Xionan ended with his signature laugh.

The two continued to chat until the sun set on the western horizon.

Seriate...
