The Nine Skies Swordsman

Episode 55's. Crushing the Curse Seal bg. 2

-bet!? Whatdoes thatmean? Who is this guy? Is he a War God, Tianyuan?-

"Thank you senior, introduce me Gofan, I came here to destroy the curse seal of the Twin Dragon Golden Sticks"

"I'm a human being, but because of something I managed to absorb the soul of a Bamboo Bear, and therefore I have a stealth air"

"Senior Really. Now, the body that was sitting cross-legged in front of me was my new body, because of something, my original body had died, therefore my soul and body had become as different as they are now"

Gofan sat down and replied to all the questions from the white-clothed man.

"Currently... Don't be so serious, don't call me senior. Since when did you become my junior?, just call me Haiwa, that's my name"

"Gofan, let's bet, three bets, if you win, then this curse seal will be broken, but if you lose, you have to stay here in my place. How's it?"

The man touched his chin as he presented the challenge to Gofan.

- What does this mean? I thought he would challenge me to a fight, but... I can't feel his cultivation level. What if he is stronger than me?, what should I do?.

Gofan did not immediately give an answer, he still thought of his bad good if he accepted the bet.

After several tens of breaths, Gofan still did not give an answer to Haiwa.

"This bet will depend on your intention, from your heart, this is only three bets... and you should be able to win each of these bets, how?"

Haiwa said, trying to persuade Gofan who was still thinking hard would give what answer.

Several tens of breaths later, Gofan still looked like he was thinking, he still did not give an answer.

"Mm. If you win just twice out of these three bets, I will break the curse seal. You've won twice, how?"

Haiwa who was getting tired of waiting for Gofan's answer, persuaded by giving a little convenience to Gofan.

But even though dozens more breaths had passed, Gofan was still silent, yet to give Haiwa any answer.

"Mh... Alright... If you win just one of these three bets, I will break the curse seal. You win just once, How about?"

Haiwa who was tired of waiting gave Gofan a last chance to answer the betting challenge from him.

Haiwa has given full leeway to Gofan, because if he gives ease again, then it will be a bet that Gofan does not need to win in order to be a winner of the bet. Gofan just needs to lose and he will win, of course that's not a bet his name.

"good. I accept. I agree."

Gofan said as soon as he heard Haiwa's words.

what the fuck is this kid? Did he deliberately pretend to think, so that I would give him this convenience?-

Haiwa felt like Gofan was outsmarting her, it was not until three breaths since Haiwa said 'you won just once', Gofan who had been silent all along, immediately replied and said in agreement.

"Alright, since you've agreed, let's start betting"

*Blazh*

A black cloud appeared as Haiwa formed a hand seal.

These black clouds were circling nonstop, in the middle of the round, there was a starry black passageway. A very dark hallway, a buzzing sound came from within the starry hall.

"This is the Hallway of Time, you will be sent to the time where your heart is, all depends on yourself"

"Come in.all you need to do is try to get back here"

Haiwa pointed towards the passageway, and allowed Gofan to enter the passageway.

"We're not fighting?"

Gofan was astonished, Haiwa told him to enter the dark starry hallway.

Haiwa laughed at Gofan's words, before standing up and saying,

"Fight? Your cultivation level is only at the second level, what can you use to defeat me?"

"Your mental energy is also only at the fourth level. Do you think with that, being able to defeat me?.. With all your abilities, even a single hair of mine will not be able to touch."

"That's it... There is no fight... You just need to enter the passageway this time, and try to get back here. If you can come back, you win the bet. Take it easy, you have three chances"

Sahut Haiwa who now stands near the hallway of Time.

"All right..."

- What does this passage mean that will take me where my heart is?-

After thinking about Haiwa's words, Gofan finally decided to enter that dark passageway, although he could not yet ascertain what awaited him after entering Haiwa's artificial passage.

*zyuut*

Gofan simply disappeared after entering the passage of time.

After Gofan entered into the dimension of the time passage, a red-robed man emerged from the void and walked over towards Haiwa.

This man was not very tall, he was even just a little taller than Gofan, making this man look like he was the same age as Gofan. His hair was yellow, sometimes sparkling like gold.

"Master, everything goes according to orders"

Haiwa bowed and cupped her hands together, saluting the red-robed man.

"Good, let's see... Can he escape the problems of his heart?"

The red-robed man said, as he sat on the chair that Haiwa had previously occupied.

***

_On the outer side of the Drought Bamboo Forest_

"Sister, they all died just like Jingwu said"

Mukene said to Zawugi who was still on his horse.

Zawugi and Mukene along with the Blue Wolf Bandit troupe, had just arrived on the outer side of the Drought Bamboo Forest. Seven days earlier, they had arrived in Gimora City, according to the agreement with Jingwu's group, they would wait for the results of the Jingwu group's success report in Gimora City.

After three days of waiting, Jingwu's group did not also arrive as promised. Until, Zawugi decided to follow to the Drought Bamboo Forest.

"How's the condition?"

Zawugi asked Mukene about Jingwu's condition, which was almost all wrapped in bandages.

"Now, he's better"

Mukene.

Two days after heading to the Drought Bamboo Forest, Zawugi and Mukene's entourage was startled by Jingwu lying half-conscious, on the edge of the road leading to Gimora City.

Jingwu was already severely injured when he passed Zawugi and Mukene's entourage as they were on their way to the Drought Bamboo Forest.

After being given treatment, Jingwu desperately tried to tell her everything that had happened. Jingwu reported to Zawugi and Mukene that the Cambodian Flower Swords they were after had been helped by a group of warriors, mainly by the Golden Needle Swordsman Mogui and a White Tiger Demon who confronted them, when trying to escape from the forest.

Jingwu thought that the White Tiger Demon that confronted them was another senior who had already killed both of its members while fighting against the Yanse group. Jingwu mistakenly mistook Xionan for the White Tiger Demon aka Bailaohu.

Bailaohu was on his way to the Mouhuli residence. In order to save travel time, Bailaohu used his beast form, namely as the White Tiger.

When Bailaohu, arriving in front of the Drought Bamboo Forest, he saw Jingwu and his three members, without further ado Bailaohu directly ambushed them, as he hated humans so much.

Bailaohu attacked in the form of his Beast, so that Jingwu could instantly recognize him as the White Tiger Demon, had Bailaohu attacked with a human form, Jingwu would only have thought of Bailaohu as a human, as a senior swordsman.

Bailaohu left Jingwu severely wounded and killed and robbed the three members of Jingwu. Bailaohu instead of not wanting to kill Jingwu, it was just that Jingwu was so agile and had a Bitter Tongue Skull that gave him a few breaths to escape from Bailaohu's attack.

"You and you... Bury their bodies!!, others guard, if anyone is seen coming out of this forest, report immediately !!"

Zawugi's orders to some of his men, while coming down from the horse and walking towards Mukene.

Tanya Zawugi who is now standing next to Mukene, when watching some of his men perform the burial of the bodies of Daksa, Putuo, and Ligong.

"Entahlah Sis's. It should be that demons will hate humans, if we attack now, it's the same as getting into a tiger's mouth"

"Look brother, that demon doesn't seem to be an ordinary demon, the three of them were killed with just one strike"

Mukene pointed towards the three bodies of the Jingwu members who were now being buried by some of his men.

"The White Tiger's smile has long been unheard. Why could they appear again?, Has the Demon Kingdom not been destroyed yet ?"

Mukene muttered after recalling, that the Demon Tiger had long been rumored to be wiped out and disappeared along with the disappearance of the existence of the Demon Kingdom.

"It won't be easy..."

Zawugi shook his head after hearing Mukene's reply and muttered.

The Tiger Demon was one of the four elite demons who took shelter directly under the orders of the Demon Emperor.

Knowing there was a Demon Tiger that helped protect Yubing, making Zawugi and Mukene sigh long, it meant that Yubing was within the protection of the Demon Kingdom.

"It turns out the demon kingdom is still there and hiding. It's been almost 600 years that there's been no sighting of the Tiger Demon, it turns out they haven't been wiped out"

Zawugi.

After the disappearance of the Demon Kingdom, the four demon elites of the kingdom also disappeared without a trace, which caused the warriors in the Continent of the Penda to dare to act arbitrarily against the remaining demons. There were no more powerful demons left and roamed the Continent of the Penda after the kingdom disappeared.

"There's still one way to deal with this, brother... We can report this demon sighting to Mr. Tianfuzi, I'm sure he'll be very happy to hear this"

"We don't need to intervene directly, let Mr. Tianfuzi overcome that White Tiger Demon"

Mukene remarked with sparkling eyes and full of hope, she was sure Tianfuzi who was infatuated with stealth pearls and beast meat, would not reject the news of the White Tiger Demon's reappearance, either, after 600 years of disappearing.

Zawugi smiled quite widely after hearing Mukene's words,

"You're right. Come... We're going to the Island of Fire! I'm sure Tianfuzi's cunning is definitely going to the island"

"Good Brother"

Mukene.

Mukene then called all his men and instructed them to tidy up the supplies and prepare to continue the journey.

"Generic....!!"

"Why was your student so long?,... It's morning, and she's not back yet"

Bailaohu sneezed as she complained to Mouhuli about Gofan not coming back.

Days had almost changed and Gofan was still inside Haiwa's dimension of the Masa Alley.

Currently, Bailaohu and Mouhuli were still in the cave, conversing about the current state of the Demon Kingdom, while waiting for Gofan to break the curse seal.

"You are, if you want to sneeze, close your nose and mouth, what if there are germs? You want to infect me ?"

Mouhuli complained, because Bailaohu's snot splashes slightly on his arm. Mouhuli took out two handkerchiefs from the dimensional ring.

"Wear this, clean and cover your nose if you want to sneeze again"

"We'll just wait, please,... I know you've been wanting to eat his soup again, right?,...I'm the same, but we have to be patient"

"Just wait,..."

Mouhuli gave one handkerchief to Bailaohu and another to him, he cleaned his arm that was hit by a little snot Bailaohu.

200 Years I have never sneezed, is there another demon that is gossiping about me?, just be aware later if I have returned to the kingdom, I'll beat up the ones who dare to do that.

Bailaohu.

"Tumben you're kind to me, this kind of attention, to give me a handkerchief.but, thank you, Senior..."

Bailaohu received Mouhuli's handkerchief and cleaned her nose after saying thank you.

"It's not for you, it's for my health,... If you keep sneezing recklessly, I'll also be hard, better prevent than cure"

"Drink this too...I received it from Julala, it's Red Ginseng water, he said is good for maintaining body health"

Mouhuli said, giving a bottle made of wood to Bailaohu.

Bailaohu nodded and received the wooden bottle from Mouhuli, before saying,

"Seniors. Can you call the snake here? I wonder what happened to that student of yours"

While drinking red ginseng water, Bailaohu recalls that Julala followed Gofan away, making Bailaohu want to question Julala, about what happened to Gofan.

"Shut up and rest!, it's not even a day. Why are you so impatient?"

Mouhuli curiously answered Bailaohu's request asking him to call Julala.

***

Julala is surprised, after finding Gofan's body suddenly cold and Gofan's breath sometimes there, sometimes not.

- Why is this?, Is Gofan okay?, He's like a half-living, half-dead person-

Julala thought, who then wrapped her body around Gofan, she intended to warm Gofan's body.

Xionan gave a small smile looking at Julala's behavior, he thought Julala was a little strange, he thought Julala was a little strange,

- As a cold-blooded creature, would he not only make his own body cool, it would not warm Gofan's body, but instead make it even colder.

However, Xionan did not worry too much about what Julala did. Xionan was more concerned about the state of Gofan's soul inside the bamboo trunk.

Several times Xionan tried to break into the bamboo rod, but he always failed, there was a protective formation blocking Xionan.

Xionan looked at the trunk of the bamboo tree, hoping that Gofan would come out soon and succeed in breaking the curse seal of the Twin Dragon Golden Sticks,

-fan. What are you doing?-

***

Gofan was confused by what was happening to him right now. After entering the passageway of time, Gofan returned to the time ten years ago, when the Forbidden Land College was attacked by the combined attack of the light sky tribe and the dark sky tribe.

- What the fuck is this?, this..this is whose body? Who me?... Why did I kill my college student?-

Gofan was confused, when he reached the hallway dimension of the time, he was inside the body of another person who had just slashed the death of a disciple from the Forbidden Land College.

"Xingmou!!, Why are you daydreaming? Come.quickly face the Chairman!"

A person dressed in all black called Gofan as Xingmou.

"A-i? You called me Xingmou?"

Gofan wanted to make sure again, that he had not misheard, the one called by that person was himself, who was currently inside Xingmou's body.

"Yes.really, you..Xingmou, If not you, who else?, Come on...The chief is waiting for you!"

The man dressed in black.

- This, Uncle Xingmou? Why am I in his body? And why did he kill a college student?.-

Gofan was shocked after confirming that the body of the person he possessed was now Xingmou, the Great Teacher of the Forbidden Land College, the representative of his father who took office ten years ago before the Forbidden Land College was flattened to the ground.

Seriate...
