The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episode 19's. The Past of Xionan bg. 2

[In a forest, 700 years before]

Two blue-eyed wolves appeared before Xioming and Xionan, both wolves were one of the forest-dwelling beasts they passed by. The wolf was named the Blue-Eyed Wolf, because they had blue eyes, they were beasts that were active at night, only today, they were, day was not even dusk but they had already appeared in front of the two.

"Sister, how is this?"

Xionan was frightened to see the two wolves moving closer, he stood hiding behind Xioming's back.

Xioming picked up a machete beside the wagon and stood on his back to Xionan,

'It's a good thing I brought my machete, otherwise I don't know how to hold them back'

Sweat dripped down on Xioming's temple, he was in a very alert situation, he hoped to restrain the two wolves by using his father's machete and give Xionan a chance to escape.

"Nannan, run... Run away, brother will hold them for a while"

Xioming said without turning his head towards Xionan, he was still turning his back, Xioming's eyes focused on the two wolves slowly moving closer.

"But, brother, what about you? I'll stay here, if you don't go!"

Xionan said, holding tightly onto the clothes on Xioming's back.

"Go...!! You're goin... Seek help, Brother will wait here, hurry...!!"

Xioming's tone of voice snapped slightly, he wanted Xionan to leave immediately, he used the excuse of seeking help for Xionan to leave. This forest was quite far from the settlement, who could provide help quickly, it was just an excuse, for Xionan to leave, for Xionan to survive.

"But Brother..."

Xionan was still hesitant to leave his brother.

"Go!!!"

Xioming gently pushed her little sister away from her.

"Yeah....!!!"

Shouting Xioming, after pushing Xionan away from him, Xioming dashed forward towards the two Blue-Eyed Wolves.

Xionan, who had been pushed away slowly, shed tears in both eyes, watching his brother strike death to protect him. Xionan held back his sobs and ran as fast as he could.

'I must hurry, I must quickly find someone, someone please help my brother....'

Thought Xionan who repeatedly wiped his tears while continuing to run.

*zyuut*

*Auuu*

Blue-Eyed Wolves attacked Xioming, they used their claws to fend off Xioming's machete attacks.

Xioming swung his machete blindly, because he was basically not a swordsman, so he did not know the martial arts that use a machete to attack the opponent.

He was only a stone-miner youth, but even though Xioming's slash strike looked careless, the attack was extremely powerful, the two wolves probably felt a tingling sensation in both of their claws while fending off Xioming's machete slash.

*Trang*

Claws and machetes clashed, clashing, dozens of times, and now Xioming's body was full of claw wounds that looked more severe than the slash wounds the wolves received.

Surprisingly after Xioming was exhausted and pushed down by being hit by a claw attack from one of the Blue-Eyed Wolves, they did not prey on Xioming, they ignored him and went darting towards the direction that Xionan had previously gone through to seek help.

'Oh...!! Ukh...why are they after Xionan?'

Xioming endured the pain he had suffered from the wolf claw attacks, he got up with great difficulty then ran after the two wolves.

The current Xionan was still galloping towards the outside of the forest, he continued to shout for help, he continued to shout for help, hoping that someone will come to respond to his cries before he can reach the nearest settlement and ask for help from the people there,

"PLEASE...!!! Help us, anyone please...!!!"

Along the way as Xionan ran, he was endlessly asking for help, his throat was now feeling dry, and his voice began to turn raucous, so that his screams were no longer loud, even so, he still cried out for help.

When Xionan was about to reach the outer side of the forest, he saw two figures running closer towards him, their distance was still quite a distance away, so Xionan continued to run hoping to get in front of the two men and ask for their help.

*zyuut*

*zyuut*

'They must have been warriors with the science of lightening a tall body'

Xionan thought a little surprised as the two of them just appeared before him.

True, both men were warriors. One of the shorter people was named Wukong, a student of White Tunjung College, while another one was higher, named Zuena, a student of Yellow Moon College.

This Wukong, although not very tall, but very agile even he arrived first in front of Xionan, one breath faster than Zuena.

Wukong and Zuena looked the same age as Xioming, although their faces were not very handsome, charismatic auras emerged from their figures, especially Zuena.

"Calm down, calm down, tell me what can we do for you?"

Wukong said, when he arrived in front of Xionan. Wukong held onto Xionan's shoulder and drained her inner energy to calm Xionan down, after she noticed Xionan's puffy eyes and irregular breathing.

"Right Miss, take it easy, we can definitely help you"

Zuena added confidently,

Xionan was now calmer after Wukong's internal energy flow slowed Xionan's heartbeat, making his breathing more regular,

"Decider... Please, help us, help my brother, seriga...."

"Revelation !!!"

Shouted Wukong, interrupting Xionan's words, he pulled Xionan and moved forward on Xionan and Zuena's back.

The two wolves had already reached where Xionan and the two warriors were, they immediately ambushed, charging towards Xionan, he said, but Wukong managed to fend off their attacks and repelled the two wolves with his stick weapon.

'Blue-eyed Wolf?, Why are they out during the day like this?, there must be something to this girl that attracts them!'

Zuena who was standing next to Xionan noticed Wukong's fight and the two Blue-Eyed Wolves. He realized the sight of the two wolves did not continue to focus on Wukong's attack but instead occasionally looked towards Xionan.

'What do they see?'

Thought Zuena, who then began to realize there was a limb hanging on Xionan's waist.

"Miss, sorry, would you lend me that cudgel around your waist for a second? Something I want to make sure, maybe this can save you"

Zuena asked that softly to Xionan, she felt that it was the contents that attracted the arrival of the wolf duo.

Without hesitation, Xionan untied the limbs on his waist, hoping that what Zuena said was right, that with the limbs, he and his brother could survive.

Xionan handed the angry fish-filled hump to Zuena, who,

"It's a swordsman"

"Thank you, now step back and wait there, we'll deal with this matter"

Point Zuena at a large tree, twenty steps from where they are.

Xionan nodded and ran towards the large tree that Zuena had previously pointed at.

*zyuut*

After tying the limbs at his waist, Zuena ran towards the fight of Wukong and the wolf duo.

"Well, let's try, is this what you're looking for?, here... Chase me!"

As Zuena ran through their fight, the wolf duo stopped attacking Wukong and turned around to follow Zuena's run towards the forest.

"I guessed it!"

Zuena muttered as she continued running. The trap turned out to be right, it was indeed the contents of the limbs that attracted the two Blue-Eyed Wolves, so they came out even though it was not yet dark.

Wukong was a little surprised, she had not expected the two wolves to just leave and stop their fight in pursuit of Zuena. He looked back and saw Xionan under a large tree, then ran after the three.

Seriate...
