THE XIAO'CHEN JOURNEY

4.THE POHENIX FIRE

About 5 minutes of waiting, but Xiao Chen was still nowhere to be seen. Making the other children including Qian Yu even more afraid and anxious.

The fear of the dozens of children grew even more so, when a member of the black crow came from a bend and walked towards them with a body full of wounds and a hand carrying a sword.

As the faces of the children turned pale, their bodies also seemed to shiver seeing the person walking closer.

'Please Xiao Chen, come..'Inner Qian Yu, so expect Xiao Chen to come and save them.

The young man in black earlier immediately harbored his fear, then took out an urn and threw it towards the man in front.

It was then followed by the other children, they compactly threw the person with an urn, but such an attack could not possibly injure a swordsman.

Until the distance of the person was quite close to the young man in black before him. He raised his sword and was about to slash the young man's head.

*Bruuuk

The man suddenly fell down before he could attack. From behind was seen Xiao Chen standing upright with a body full of blood, as well as the dagger he used to kill the man before.

Soon Qian Yu ran over and hugged

Xiao Chen, his body felt so cold and slightly shivered from the overwhelming fear.

"Where have you been ? We almost died because you know !!"

Xiao Chen reached into his pocket and revealed a key, releasing Qian Yu's embrace and walked towards the door.

But when he was about to put the key into the door hole, someone pulled the monkey clothes Xiao Chen then threw it backward, making the key fall out of his hand.

Suddenly everyone was astonished to see the silver crow masked man had already come, he appeared to beat Xiao Chen by kicking and smashing his body into the wall.

Qian Yu who saw Xiao Chen lying down did not ask about to help, but her hand was pulled by the young man in black earlier to escape through the already open door.

Crying and running to save themselves. Qian Yu turned her head back and looked at Xiao Chen who was seen still trying to fight using a dagger despite being battered.

Feeling very guilty for leaving Xiao Chen, Qian Yu threw out the hand of the young man who pulled her and was about to return to pick up Xiao Chen but was stopped by the young man in black.

"Don't, that senior must have wanted you safe. If you go pick him up, it's the same as if you're going to die and let him down."

Feeling confused and guilty left Qian Yu sitting limp and crying, until she was startled by a powerful explosion from where Xiao Chen and the masked man had been.

______

The explosion came from the blow of the masked man, making Xiao Chen's body bounce back. It was not enough that the masked man walked over to Xiao Chen's body lying helpless.

The man choked Xiao Chen's neck and lifted him into the air."You're still alive ? It's great for a kid of corn age,"

With great difficulty Xiao Chen opened his eyes, then stuck the dagger in his hand into the man's eyes.

As the masked man threw Xiao Chen away, he screamed in pain while holding one of his seriously injured eyes.

"Whoso4lan, after this I will definitely kill you !!"

Xiao Chen did not remain silent, as the masked man could not see and attacked. Xiao Chen used the opportunity to crawl up and grab the sword of the man who died earlier. After the sword was successfully obtained, Xiao Chen tried to stand up then walked over while dragging the sword towards the masked man before him.

Xiao Chen quickly slashed at the man's thigh to make him shout again. The masked man opened his eyes, revealing a terrible hole in his right eye.

The moment the man was about to attack, he had already fallen down first after Xiao Chen unsheathed his heart with a sword. Not long ago Xiao Chen also fell because the injuries in his nature were quite severe for a child his age.

_______

That same night, Xiao Chen woke up and realized he was in a restroom inside the carriage. The wounds on his body have also been bandaged and treated, but still feels pain in some parts of his body.

Xiao Chen then stood up and walked out of the room, checking the situation outside the carriage. It turned out that everyone had survived and was gathered in a fireplace.

Qian Tong who was aware Xiao Chen was watching him from afar immediately told the young man to join. Xiao Chen just kept silent, to then walk over to those people.

"You've tried so hard, I'm really grateful to you. Since you Qian Yu and the other children survived,"Qian Tong said with a proud smile.

"Not only that, this child had also killed an elite member of the black crow. It is likely that that person is at the True level of the late stage element, we found him dead next to Brother Chen."

Qian Tong looked surprised instead of playing, he looked at Xiao Chen."Is that true Chen'er ?

"The man was already dying from the attacks of 15 seniors, so I could easily finish him off."

The 15 young men laughed, they realized that Xiao Chen was just crocheting, because in fact they had already lost and could not hurt the masked man before.

"You're so great Chen'er, I'm so proud of you. Come join us,"

"Where are those kids ?"

"You mean the kidnap victim's kids earlier ? They were most likely members of a village family not far from here. After giving them enough money, my 15 students escorted them to their destination. Take it easy, they must be very happy to be able to gather with their families, this is all because of your courage in dealing with precarious situations calmly."

"What about the leader of the black crow group ?

"He's... The man has stayed the head, will be sent to the guard to be sold and exchanged for gold. Since the black crow group is very troubling to society, I believe the leader's head is expensive."

After that Xiao Chen said no more, he ate his food.

Qian Tong stared inside Xiao Chen, then asked."Didn't you ask Yu'er's situation ? Now she's asleep with her mom after being satisfied crying for hours,"

Xiao Chen was silent for a moment, thinking about the intent of Qian Tong's words. She said."He's a whiny kid, no offense sir, I don't like him."

Instead of being offended, Qian Tong seemed to be laughing while patting Xiao Chen on the back.

"His name is a woman, where there are women who do not cry to see people who are considered special hurt."

Xiao Chen immediately fell silent, then muttered."Special people..."

"Haha ! Don't think about it, you're too young to understand something like that. Now enjoy the food."

Those people were eating while conversing, while Xiao Chen was still thinking about who he was in the eyes

Qian Yu because Xiao Chen was aware everyone must have different judgments about him.

Rather than all that, Xiao Chen was more astonished why he was able to survive even though several times he had been hit by warriors at the true element level who would definitely be able to finish off a child of Xiao Chen's age easily.

Then Xiao Chen recalled his necklace, he checked it and found it had been fused inside Xiao Chen's body.

Xiao Chen's movements astonished Qian Tong, asking."Is there something wrong Chen'er ?"

Xiao Chen shook his head calmly."No Tong sir,"

"It's good that you should rest because it's late at night. We'll be back in a minute,"

Xiao Chen stood up and walked to the previous room to rest and check what was going on with his necklace.

After being in the room on the carriage, Xiao Chen immediately took off his clothes and found his body becoming whiter and muscular.

"Is this necklace fused with me as a result of the previous man's blow ? If it's true, it's a bad thing what happened,"

"No, I'll give you strength."

Xiao Chen suddenly heard a heavy voice from inside his head, wondering whose voice it was or whether he was hallucinating.

"No need to search, you and I are one. I live inside you, and I'm able to interact directly with your thoughts so I know what you're thinking,"

"Who are you ?

"Good question, I'm a fire pohenix. The son of your father's pohenix, you're Xiao Chen, right ?"

"Yes,"

"That means right. Well Xiao Chen, because of your determination. I who was previously an ice pohenix turned into a fire pohenix, so that my strength and advantages are different from our father."

"Have you saved me before ? Because it's impossible for my body to survive this guy's attack,"

"Right, now you have middle-level bones. You can practice to improve the quality of your bones, anyways your wounds will heal in the twinkling of an eye because we are immortal."

Xiao Chen moved his hand, sure enough, the previous pain was no longer felt and completely disappeared by itself.

"Truely it can't be said to be immortal anyway. Since we are still very young and at the base of cultivation, it's just that thanks to me you have incredible regeneration abilities."

"Is this all your ability ? Huh ! I thought you were so great, it turned out to be mediocre."

"Don't underestimate me, you Si4lan !! Now close your eyes and feel the mana flowing through your veins,"

Xiao Chen closed his eyes and was indeed able to feel something big flowing in his every vein and vein. He gathered the energy into his palm and managed to make a fireball big enough.

"You're very talented, in just one try you can control the flow of mana to create something. But remember, where has a limit, sometimes it can run out and takes time to fill it Back. Now you better get some sleep, when you wake up I'll explain a lot more,"

Xiao Chen simply remained silent, then wagged his palm to extinguish the fireball in hand. When you are done, get into bed and sleep.
