The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episode 02's. Yubing Mission Task

After his injuries had improved and his inner strength had recovered, Yubing glanced towards one of the prisoners.

“You. Quickly grab the key and remove your handcuffs!”

Yubing appoints a stocky prisoner to retrieve the key to the iron chain holding them.

“Good. Good. Thank you Miss, thank you.” With sparkling eyes the stocky man immediately lunged at Bulga's corpse and grabbed the chain key on Bulga's body.

Then one by one the chains slipped from the prisoners' wrists. After freeing the ten people one by one thanking Yubing.

“Nona. If you can know who you are? At least we should know the name of the hero who has saved us?” Aunt Biung respectfully asked Yubing.

Aunt Biung was amazed to see such a young girl have such powerful strength.

“I Yubing from the Flower Valley of Cambodia... Now you come with me, I will drive you safely to the nearest village.” Sahut Yubing introduced himself.

Thus the eleven men, marched slowly through the desert of the black scorpion. Some who looked tired and sick, advised Yubing to ride the horses of the bandits who died.

Yubing was the second strongest among the five elite disciples of the Cambodian Flower Valley. Elite students will wear special pink robes with frangipani floral motifs on the shoulders of the robe.

Among the five, Yubing is the youngest, this year he has only turned 18.

All members of the Flower Valley of Cambodia always wear masks when out of their college, especially when on missions.

Yubing is currently on a task mission to search for the Black Scorpion, in the Black Scorpion Desert. Yubing needed poison and some parts of the beast's body, in order to complete his mission task.

This desert is called the Black Scorpion Desert, because it is indeed the habitat of the Black Scorpion. Their nests are hidden among the sands of the desert.

This Black Scorpion was large and hard in stature with two poisonous tails behind it. In the category of beasts, they belonged to the low, it was just that their poison was extremely deadly.

Yubing accidentally saw these prisoners while on his way. Indeed, Yubing did not have to help these people, because he was not the kind of person who was generous and would blindly help without measuring his ability. Only after feeling his opponent was able to deal with would he just make a move.

That was how it happened, before Yubing learned that the bandit carrying the prisoner was the 13th Captain, the weakest among the Blue Wolf Bandit Captains. It made Yubing confident to jump in to help.

Suddenly after a few hundred steps. Lenfan saw the sand twitching as if breathing, about 60 steps in front of the group.

“Stop...!” Lenfan yelled and made the others stop.

Everyone in the group, turned to look at Lenfan. Lenfan's face looked very alert.

Feeling something strange, Goli asked Lenfan, “Kak. What was? Is there something?”

Lenfan knows very well that this desert is not a tourist spot or a good place to visit ordinary people like himself. It is only natural to be vigilant in this desert.

While pointing towards the front, Lenfan said, “That is the Black Scorpion's nest, in front! About 60 steps ahead. We have to turn around and find a detour!”

Although currently Lenfan did not have martial arts, he knew the basics, at least he had knowledge of the dangers he would face, the dangers from facing beasts.

Plus in the previous trip, while still being held by the bandits. Lenfan would see the phenomenon of sand twitching, before the Black Scorpion came out and attacked.

At that time Lenfan chose silence and shelter, letting the bandits overcome the attack of the beast. So, Lenfan believes that in front of them there is a danger waiting for them, so Lenfan suggests turning around and looking for a detour.

“Yang right? What yes?” Goli and the others were shocked to hear Lenfan's words.

They still remembered very well how big and terrible the Black Scorpion was. Slightly hesitating at Lenfan's words, they glanced at Yubing.

Yubing also hesitated, but he kept looking in the direction Lenfan pointed at. Yubing was astonished, as an elite disciple of the Cambodian Flower Valley, he did not feel anything strange about the surroundings in front of him.

Just in case Yubing wants to confirm Lenfan's words, “You back off as far as possible. I will make sure going forward, if true, I will fight against him.”

Lenfan felt that Yubing was forcing himself too much to fight against the beast. Moreover, it is not clear how many tails are in the nest, plus the wound after facing Bulga still seems not dry, although it has improved.

“Nona, we'd better retreat together, if it's true that the creature is in front, you'll be in danger.” Aunt Biung confirmed Yubing's decision.

“Do not worry. I'm fine, no problem.” Hearing Yubing's words, the other ten people stepped back.

After making sure the other ten people were at a safe distance. Yubing began his steps, using his inner strength, Yubing charged towards the sand, fifty steps ahead of him.

*Duuarr*

The explosion occurred at the target of the Yubing attack, sand scattered and a large gaping hole, grains of sand covering the view of Yubing. But even after the grains of sand disappeared and exposed the hole in front of him, there was not a single Black Scorpion.

' Damn, I was too vigilant and trusted the words of ordinary people ' Thought Yubing.

Feeling fine, Yubing was about to turn around and tell Lenfan that his intuition was wrong. But taking just two steps, Yubing felt a murderous aura appear behind him, until Yubing subconsciously turned around and sent out the same attack as before.

*Duuarr*

*Twdw*

An adult-sized black scorpion emerged from within the sand and screamed in pain receiving Yubing's attack.

' Almost, it's a good thing I haven't lowered my guard '

In his mind Yubing was astonished, his intuition could lose to an ordinary person. Yubing was almost caught off guard and died being attacked by the Black Scorpion.

Yubing directly attacked the Black Scorpion, trying to target the weak point of the beast, but it was not easy.

' Even though in front of me there was only a black scorpion, but it seemed to face two enemies ' Thought Yubing as he continued to attack.

The back tail of the Black Scorpion was forked and looked like it had two tails, making it difficult to dodge the attacks from the two tails.

“Dance Autumn Leaf”

That move helped him avoid the scorpion's tail attack. Like leaves falling in the wind, Jubing avoided any poisonous attack from the scorpion's tails.

In the distance, Lenfan let out a sigh of relief, fortunately there was only a black scorpion in the nest, so he was sure Yubing would be able to deal with the beast.

' Luckily there is only one, facing one is like facing two tails, especially if it is more, it must be dangerous ' thought Lenfan.

But not long ago Lenfan was relieved. As he watched the fight, Lenfan saw the sand to the left of Yubing begin to pulsate.

Seeing the flow of the fight pushing Yubing closer to the left, Lenfan was anxious, he shouted, “Nona! Back off! Don't go left, change your fight, lure him to the right, on your left there's another nest... Lure him to the right, on your left there's another nest!”

Lenfan's shout was so loud, that it was heard by Yubing. Believing Lenfan's intuition right before, Yubing lures the Black Scorpion to the right to stay away from the other nest.

But in the distance Lenfan was still a little worried, so Lenfan checked the situation around Yubing.

' Jeez! Why is every sand on the right pulsating? Goddamn it!! He was surrounded by a Black Scorpion's nest Lenfan thought when he found another nest on Yubing's right side.

Lenfan yells once again, “Nona! Just stop! Don't go right again... Retrograde... Retrograde... Bring him here, on your right there is also another nest, retreat here!”

Hearing Lenfan ask Yubing to lure the Black Scorpion towards them, the other nine people felt astonished.

“Hei... You-you! Why did you tell him to come here? We can be in danger!” A young man who looked to be the same age as Lenfan fiercely scolded him.

The young man was upset to hear the cry of Lenfan who asked for death to come to them.

Lenfan just turned his head and ignored the young man's words, “We move to the right, over there, I'm sure it's safe there.”

Lenfan quickly stepped as far as possible to the right. Believing Lenfan's intuition, the others follow him. Angrily the young man also followed Lenfan.

In the place of the fight, Yubing had tried his best to draw the opponent not too far to the right.

' Damn, I'm too far to the right, it's hard to... ' Unfinished Yubing thought of luring his opponent backwards.

*Duuarr*

An explosion occurred and two Black Scorpions came out from the sand to the right of Yubing.

' Damn, his intuition was just right again, but it was too late to back off. Never mind... I have to go all out this time ' Inner Yubing.

That way, Yubing officially faces three Black Scorpions, two about the size of an adult man, and another about the size of a child.

Yubing slowly moved back, with all his might, he dodged the attacks of the six poisonous tails.

It was fortunate that the Black Scorpion was not the type of beast that knew how to cooperate, so often their attacks were precisely about their fellows.

Using the form of a deciduous dance with nimble Yubing took a hundred steps back, then he reached into the small pouch on his waist and took out a small box from inside the pouch.

The bag was a space pouch, a magical object capable of holding many objects inside, despite the size of the pouch, only the size of a palm. The small box that Yubing had just taken out, he threw towards the three Black Scorpions.

After the box was thrown, Yubing formed a hand seal and uttered a special spell, “Segel space, open the cage, with blood ordered... Come out that in agreement!”

*Duuarr*

*zyuut*

*Rooaarr*

Instantly the small box exploded and released smoke which formed the figure of a beast.

A giant Beaver the size of an adult man with iron hands and claws appeared and started attacking the Black Scorpions.

That beast is Yubing's pet. Boger is the name Yubing gave to the beast, an Iron-Handed Beaver.

Boger's claws were harder than the body of the Black Scorpion so it easily tore and injured the Black Scorpion.

With the help of Boger's attack, the Black Scorpion's defenses were further weakened. Although the Boger was a type of ferocious beast of the same level as the Black Scorpion, it was both a low-level savage beast, but Boger was at the very top level among them.

“Boger-! Attack and blind their eyes!” Yubing directed Boger to attack the eyes of the black scorpion.

*Rooaarr*

It didn't take long, it was easy for Boger to injure the scorpion's eyes with his iron claws.

Seeing the eyes of the wounded Black Scorpions, Yubing moved quickly, slashing the dangerous tails one after another.

*Slazh*

*Craasshh*

A sticky green liquid gushed out from the severed part. Then Yubing slashed down the bottom of the neck of the Black Scorpion, that was its weak point, and one after another the Black Scorpion fell.

After collecting the poison and some important parts of the Black Scorpion carcass, Yubing gave Boger a piece of meat with golden blood.

Boger greedily finished the meat, then turned back into smoke and entered the small box.

The small box was referred to as the Occult Cage, a magical item specifically used for the dwelling of domesticated beasts. With this the mission of Yubing's task was successfully completed.

Seriate...
