BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
161 - Guidance of Elder Fang

"This intrigues me," Elder Fang Tie Zhu watched Chu Kai intently and then asked, "How did you know about such a thing?"

"Peach Blossom Hill is very famous and history about it... Anyone cannot know it. And besides all that... I'm very fond of warriors, so of course I have to know a few things." Chu Kai reasoned.

Elder Fang Tie Zhu drank the wine that was in the ceramic cup before nodding slowly. He said, "The rider is the best and most talented student among the members of the Peach Flower Hill. At a very young age, he had become an important and influential figure."

Elder Fang Tie Zhu took a breath, "Unfortunately this swordsman has one weakness. He's too strong,"

!!

Chu Kai flinched, "How could that be called weakness?"

"Too strong and no one who has ever won from him actually makes the swordsman feared. There were many who were anxious at his strength and some felt threatened. They need to control the swordsman,"

Chu Kai became tense, he watched the subject before him intently. The elder Fang Tie Zhu again continued, "Because it has unparalleled strength, then many ways are done by the higher-ups of other sects, including from the Peach Flower Hill itself to control the swordsman."

"I can imagine what it's like when people who previously admired you now turn to attack with the fear of you getting stronger." Elder Fang Tie Zhu lowered his gaze slightly and again said, "In addition... He was a figure who never let go of his opponent."

Elder Fang Tie Zhu looked at Chu Kai and said, "The way to fight the swordsman is so brutal it can't even compare to the black flow. This was not because he was an evil figure, but because his sword technique was difficult for anyone to conquer. The ones who had fought him would only end up with unrecognizable bodies,"

Chu Kai gulped, he was a little nervous as he asked. "What... That warrior didn't feel anything while taking someone else's life?"

Chu Kai's tone of voice softly as he said, "I'm alone... Always feel pain whenever you have to hit someone else. When to swing a sword against the undead... It felt like a big rock was hitting my shoulder,"

"You can't carelessly take the life of another being," Elder Fang Tie Zhu said. "They have a negative aura that can affect your soul. The more you kill, the more polluted your soul will be until you forget yourself."

"That negative aura is called Killer Aura," Wei Zhang Zihan opened his voice. He looked at Chu Kai and explained, "If the more you kill, then this aura will become even more concentrated. This aura is bad because it is capable of mental damage, so as much as possible warriors who fight avoid killing their opponents."

"But Swordsman Wei, I've seen you finish off many undead. So how can you explain this?" Chu Kai looked at the young man beside him.

Wei Zhang Zihan replied, "Aura Killer can be transformed into Swordsman Aura through several methods and one of them is Heart Demon Cleansing. But despite knowing this, it's always good to act carefully and control yourself."

"Devil Cleansing of the Heart... Wouldn't that only be possible if it was at Shiu's Cultivation Level?" Chu Kai asked back.

"The "devil Cleansing Technique of the heart has three stages and the one that does it at the level of Shiu is the highest. Have you never learned how to do the heart demon cleansing technique?" Wei Zhang Zihan looked at the green-eyed young man sitting beside him.

"Broker Wei, you yourself know that I have more adventures with you outside the sect than to live and study with the elders who are there. You should know this better..." Chu Kai pouted slightly.

"Then what have you been doing for half a year trapped in that ancient tomb cave?"

Wei Zhang Zihan's sharp gaze made Chu Kai flinch. The natural green-eyed youth blinked a few times and then smiled. Chu Kai scratched his non-itchy nape and looked down embarrassed.

Seeing the silly behavior of this young man made Wei Zhang Zihan cluck and shook his head slowly. His calmness is really tested if along with a bunch of these creatures.

Chu Kai, Wei Zhang Zihan, and Elder Fang Tie Zhu slept in a tavern that also had facilities to stay overnight.

They rented each one of the rooms where Wei Zhang Zihan paid for everything, including the dishes that Elder Fang Tie Zhu ate.

After cleaning up, Chu Kai lay down on a bed. He recalled his conversation with Elder Fang Tie Zhu.

"The swordsman who massacred his entire sect..." Chu Kai muttered as he looked at the ceiling of his room.

"There were among the members of the Peach Flower Hill who had first left the sect before the bloody tragedy. They joined other sects and the famous ones were the Wuya Sect as well as the Y agen Pavilion."

Chu Kai took a breath as he recalled the words of Elder Fang Tie Zhu. He closed his eyes for a moment before looking back at the ceiling of his room.

Due to having the Dragon Swordsman Sword, Chu Kai indirectly had a relationship with the Peach Flower Hill. Not to mention the fact that he had seen the past of the dragon swordsman owner and studied the Thousand Sword Technique.

He clearly cannot ignore this, including if he shows this technique... He will be targeted by the Wuya Sect and the Yudi Jiain Pavilion.

"I must grow stronger, but not too conspicuous." Chu Kai breathed slowly, "It will probably be heavy. Especially so far... Just by the name of the Dragon Warrior alone, there are already many who are after me."

Chu Kai slowly closed his eyes and not long after he fell asleep. The shop he lived in was very quiet.

That night was calming. But the unexpected thing was that when Chu Kai turned around, he was plunged into a lake where the water was extremely cold.

!!!

Chu Kai was clearly in shock. He coughed as some water entered his throat and his body felt extremely cold. He rubbed his face and began to notice the surroundings.

This place is a vast lake with grass and rocks around it. Chu Kai looked up and watched a fairly large tree branch. From that branch he fell and fell into the water.

Just about to open his voice, Chu Kai heard the voice of a man who was none other than Elder Fang Tie Zhu. The big man leaned against one of the tree branches while holding a bottle of pumpkin.

"Are you awake now?" Elder Fang Tie Zhu smiled broadly towards Chu Kai.

"Chairman Fang, I.... W-how did you get to this place?"

"Of course I take you," Elder Fang Tie Zhu jumped down, his feet treading on the water.

Squatting in front of Chu Kai, Elder Fang Tie Zhu said. "Didn't you want to learn the Solar Breathing Technique from me? It's a good time to do it,"

Chu Kai swallowed. He did not know what to say to the man before him. The atmosphere around him was already morning, but what was unexpected was that he did not even realize he was in this foreign place.

"Where is Swordsman Wei?" Chu Kai searched for Wei Zhang Zihan's whereabouts, yet the saint warrior was not in this place.

"He'll be here soon, you won't have to look for him. Now you better get on,"

"I don't know anymore. Elder Fang likes to act arbitrarily," Chu Kai tried to stand on the water. His entire body was wet and the coldness from the lake water seemed to penetrate to his bones.

Elder Fang Tie Zhu reached out and touched Chu Kai's forehead with his two fingers. He made the naturally green-eyed young man flinch at once to feel a warm feeling that came so suddenly.

!!!

"Elder Fang. It's...." Chu Kai was startled, he looked at the man before him and then touched his forehead. What the man before him gave was the knowledge of the Solar Breathing Technique.

"Don't be too surprised, it's just basic knowledge so you can follow my guidance. Now prepare and set the position," Elder Fang Tie Zhu gave the order. He looked at Chu Kai and re-opened his voice.

Elder Fang Tie Zhu said, "I'm not the type of person who likes to give explanations. So you just need to follow my moves without asking too many questions, you understand?"

"Well," Chu Kai took a breath and then exhaled slowly. He watched as Elder Fang Tie Zhu darted and treaded in the middle of the lake, himself followed the man and started practicing the Sun Breathing Technique.

".................."

Chu Kai followed every move of Elder Fang Tie Zhu although honestly there were some questions he wanted to convey. What he did was clearly a fighting move, whereas it should be to learn breathing techniques unlike this. Chu Kai's forehead shriveled, it felt like something was wrong from what he was doing now.
