BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
39 - Trap

There were six all-black-clothed warriors who suddenly appeared when Wei Zhang Zihan started to open his voice. Three of them were on the roof of the building.

Wei Zhang Zihan's hand was on the handle of his sword. He was just about to pull his weapon out when the three people among his enemies were directly attacking. It didn't take long until the fight became fierce, not even anyone intending to open their voices.

On the other hand, Chu Kai walked into the building and his gaze immediately fell on a female employee. He approached the subject and then opened his voice. Chu Kai had absolutely no idea about the condition that Wei Zhang Zihan was experiencing right now.

"Excuse me Miss...?" Chu Kai said politely, "I want to enroll in the conference, how is it?"

The pale yellow-clothed woman was seen watching the young man before her. He frowned, "Conference?"

Chu Kai smiled, "Right. The young swordsman conference. Isn't this the registration place? Why does this guy look confused? Did I enter the building wrong?"

"............. Ah, true. You can sign up here,"

Chu Kai frowned. He looked at the subject before him and felt something strange. This woman had previously seemed ignorant of the Young Swordsman Conference, but in an instant suddenly became enthusiastic and even smiled at her. He became uncomfortable.

"Young Master should only mention your name and also your college. I'll take note of it, "the woman reopens the voice.

Chu Kai breathed slowly, "Miss can write my name as Chu Kai. I'm the representative of the Wushi Mountain Sect,"

"Alright, Young Master can wait inside. The conference opening will begin soon,"

"Ah... Thank you," Chu Kai walked a few steps before turning around and looking back at the pale yellow-clothed woman. The figure seemed to be conscious and smiled towards him.

Chu Kai blinked and continued walking. He felt very uncomfortable for some reason.

"Are the people of Chang'An City really like that?" Chu Kai thought to himself, "Perhaps because it was almost dark. The lady could have been exhausted keeping watch here alone. Ah.. It must be."

Chu Kai continued walking while circulating his gaze. The wooden walls in this place have quite eye-catching flower carvings. There are lanterns along the way and white fabrics.

Chu Kai held a powerful pack and sword in his hand. He had yet to find anyone along the way, but a door of the room started to look not far in front of him.

The door of the room was wide open. As he walked in, Chu Kai saw an arena stage and the soothing aroma of incense. He was about to circulate his gaze when a loud voice sounded and startled him.

The door of the room that was open was now closed. Chu Kai's heartbeat roared, he spontaneously drew his sword and then took a prepared position. His premonition was indeed not to lie, this place was suspicious.

"So you're the chosen Dragon Warrior?"

!!

Chu Kai heard an unfamiliar voice. He looked around and found no one. It was just that it did not last long until the lanterns that became the lights of this room exploded one by one and turned into a burning red fireball.

Chu Kai gulped, especially when he saw that there were some people standing between the fireballs. They had clothes of different colors and had an unusual aura.

There were nine people and three among them were named Lin Thao of the Wulin Sect, Zhui Ying of the Long Yu Sect, and Ying Wan of the Baiqi Sect. They were warriors of the Black Stream, as well as six others.

From what Chu Kai saw, these people clearly had no good intentions towards him. He held his sword strong even though his hands seemed to tremble.

"Who are you?" Chu Kai opened his voice. In this tense state of affairs-whether where Wei Zhang Zihan was.

Lin Thao of the Wulin Sect said, "We've been waiting for you for a long time and I'm impressed because of the Dragon Swordsman that the famous Master Zhuang has chosen... Turns out to be a weak and timid young man like you."

"She's really like a newly hatched chick,"

"Isn't this proof that the Wushi Mountain Sect is only filled with fools? I heard he was a tavern maid before becoming a dragon swordsman."

"It's a shame,"

Chu Kai heard the taunts clearly and it seemed like these people were doing it on purpose as well. He even heard the sound of laughter and saw the condescending gazes of warriors who looked to be his age.

Zhu Ying, the female swordsman of the Long Yu Sect said. "Mountain Sect Wushi was too trusting in every remark of Master Zhuang. Because of their stupidity, they accept a dragon warrior like you... Lianyi City and Wushi Mountain Sect could not resist the attacks of the three warriors from the Dead Moon Sect."

"Well, that was a breakthrough. The fact that the Wushi Mountain Sect had failed and suffered a setback. Hmph, good too. The people there are very naive and like to interfere in other people's affairs,"

"The only one who looked good in the sect was Xia Ling Qing. It's a pity that the girl who has such great abilities... Instead choose to bury his talent in a useless place. Now it's so sad, so sad,"

"Be-stop talking..!" Chu Kai opened his voice. He was so pale, even sweat was pouring down his cheeks and neck. He had already thought of many battle simulations in his mind and all the result was a death-ending defeat for him.

Nevertheless, hearing Xia Ling Qing's name spoken in such a disrespectful tone made her very annoyed. Chu Kai said, "You guys can say anything about me, but never insult Miss Xia Ling Qing. A-let alone demeaning Master Zhuang and also the teachers in the Wushi Mountain Sect. You can't be like that."

"Hah," Ying Wang of the Baiqi Sect snorted. "Rather than thinking of others, shouldn't you think of your own salvation?"

Chu Kai flinched. Hearing the words of the young man before him made Chu Kai realize that this was just a tactic and there was a possibility that the news about the Young Swordsman Conference was just a trick for him to come here.

"I need to get out of this place right now!" Chu Kai held his sword firmly. He gulped and his voice trembled as he said, "It's best that you don't mess around. I-I didn't come here alone. Pe-breeder Wei will not let you go,"

"Declaration Wei? Pfft... Ha ha ha, why are you hiding behind Wei Zhang Zihan's ass?" Lin Thao said, "Aren't you supposed to mention yourself? Hm?"

"I told you he's a useless dragon warrior. The prophecy that he's going to finish off the devil and save the world is just nonsense,"

"It wasn't the prophecy, but the Wushi Mountain Sect was foolish for trusting that Master Zhuang. They chose this completely useless young man,"

"Hey, you." Lin Thao looked at Chu Kai and said, "Your Wei warrior will not be able to save you. He himself should even worry about his safety rather than worry about you,"

"Decoyar Wei..." Chu Kai was surprised. That meant that Wei Zhang Zihan was currently in trouble.

"I'm..." Chu Kai took a breath and said, "I have never bothered you guys and I'm sure Swordsman Wei is also not a person who likes to interfere in other people's affairs. T-this is my last warning,"

"Hm? A warning? From you?" Lin Thao laughed, as did the other warriors. He shook his head in disbelief at this young man's words and then said, "Warnings from you? What kind of threat is this, huh?"

"I-I'm a coward..." Chu Kai spoke slowly. He looked at Lin Thao and the other warriors before saying. "I'm scared... Not because of my life, but because... Safety of your lives."

Chu Kai dropped his pack and held his sword with both hands. He took a breath and said, "You guys have a family and I don't want to because of my actions... Swordsman, the Wushi Mountain Sect, and the citizens of Lianyi City again ran into trouble. So stop whatever you want to do. This... Last warning."

"Hmph, sickening." a swordsman shook his hand and three daggers shot towards Chu Kai. The sound of the dagger breaking the wind and this speed was clearly impossible to be fended off by a coward.

If it was sight-seeing, Chu Kai would naturally not be able to keep up with the speed of the dagger's trajectory. But his sensitivity in the sense of hearing when he is focused is not something that can be considered a beginner.

Chu Kai did not dodge, he took a breath and made a piercing-like move as per Wei Zhang Zihan's teaching. Only this time he did not use the Breathing Technique according to the guidance of the Swordsman Wei, but used the Dragon Breathing Technique.

The three daggers were crushed by a powerful gust of energy and not only that, but Chu Kai's attack hit the swordsman who had previously attacked him and the figure ended up being thrown and hit the wall violently. Even so loud, everyone was surprised to realize that the figure had died with a broken head.

!!!

Lin Thao, Zhui Ying, and Ying Wang as well as the other warriors were shocked instead of playing. They immediately set their eyes on Chu Kai and saw that the young man was standing in the same position as before, even with trembling hands.

"You..."

"I came here to attend the Young Swordsman Conference as a representative of the Wushi Mountain Sect. My name is Chu Kai and as you know, Ma-Master Zhuang chose me as the Dragon Swordsman." Chu Kai adjusted his breathing before returning to open his voice.

Chu Kai said, "It is true that I am a foolish and timid young man. Absolutely no idea how to fight and it was a fact that I was just a waiter in a tavern. B-but this one I can prove..."

Chu Kai's voice began to disordered as he took a breath. His eyes were sharp as he said, "You will die if you aim for my life."

"Fuckin' shit! Kill him..!!"

!!!

*

A loud explosion was heard and two black-clad warriors hit the ground and the building. Wei Zhang Zihan was still fighting fiercely despite repeated attempts to break his concentration by discussing about Chu Kai.

Actually, it would be a lie if Wei Zhang Zihan said not to worry about the young man. Especially considering that Chu Kai was still a beginner when it came to practicing swords. But something was uproarious and made Wei Zhang Zihan want to find out this truth.

Chu Kai had a scar like the claw of a wild animal on his temple and Wei Zhang Zihan had seen the upper body of the young man who also had a similar scratch mark, even deeper.

Wei Zhang Zihan did not know about Chu Kai's past, but from what he had observed all along - the subject seemed to have experienced what others would call a 'near-death experience'. An event that no one could even imagine in general.

In addition, Wei Zhang Zihan was still suspicious about the death of the Dead Moon Sect members, both those in the forest back then up from the death of fellow Xue Xiaowen when making a mess in Lianyi City.

The Swordsman of the Wushi Mountain Sect rarely took human lives while fighting, even though their opponents were mortal enemies. The only thing in which they unhesitatingly killed was when facing the demonic beasts.

And despite having to kill a human once, Wei Zhang Zihan and the disciples of the Wushi Mountain Sect would do the quickest way - that was to behead the opponent. But the enemy that attacked the city was killed in an extraordinarily frightening body condition and events like this only existed after Chu Kai was chosen to be the dragon swordsman.

Wei Zhang Zihan knew that Chu Kai had already hidden his identity. And just as he was about to reveal that, news of the young swordsman conference was heard. Wei Zhang Zihan took advantage of this opportunity by saying that it was Chu Kai who was asked to become the representative of the Wushi Mountain Sect.

He only sent the young man, whereas Wei Zhang Zihan himself could also follow him. On the other hand, the message he received also meant that they had to be careful and vigilant because it could be a trap. Wei Zhang Zihan knew from the start, but he did not say that to Chu Kai.

His choices and actions were indeed very risky, but what he did was not without reason. Wei Zhang Zihan knew that the figure he was in contained a lot of scars of such beasts was not a mediocre young man.

Wei Zhang Zihan's thoughts were correct and right now compared to worrying about Chu Kai-Wei's life Zhang Zihan should have been more worried about the warriors that the young man was facing.

"Damn it," one of the warriors who was Wei Zhang Zihan's opponent spewed blood. His chest hurt from being hit by a kick and even his arm was slashed by a sword to bleed.

Wei Zhang Zihan faced the other swordsman. His ability as one of the Sacred Swordsman could not be equated by these people even though the opponent had a decent amount.

He did not take long to subvert his opponent. Those who lost were unable to move anymore, unable to even block Wei Zhang Zihan from leaving.

The warriors faced by Wei Zhang Zihan were not dead. To be honest it was an incredible thing considering that he could face an opponent who attacked him with full killing intent.

A sword was basically a weapon used to slash and finish off an opponent, but an actual swordsman - he was able to control his sword to not recklessly take the lives of others. Even if in a condition against criminals.

Wei Zhang Zihan has control over his power. He was far different from Chu Kai who only knew how to kill.

!!!

"How can he be this strong?!" Lin Thao looked pale. The warriors who attacked the natural green-eyed young man were no survivors, they all died horribly. Not to mention, the walls in this room were perforated.

Zhui Ying unleashed the strongest attack of his sect. He did not accept the current situation. It should have been the desperate Chu Kai, but that looked just the opposite.

"He only knew the piercing technique, but his strength was not playful. This young man..." Ying Wang growled and slid the poisonous needle. His attack was joined by the attack that Zhu Ying had missed.

Chu Kai returned to using the Dragon Breathing Technique. He did not dodge every attack that came. He faced everything with just the technique that Wei Zhang Zihan had taught him.

"Far away!!" Lin Thao exclaimed. The combined attacks from Zhui Ying and Ying Wang could not help but lash out from Chu Kai's attacks at all. They were close to nothing if Lin Thao did not help immediately.

Lin Thao could not resist the attack, hence he diverted it and Chu Kai's attack hit the ceiling above him.

!!!

The attack was as big as before and the unexpected thing was that the ceiling of the building began to collapse and startle everything. Chu Kai, Lin Thao, and the other warriors had no time to dodge those ruins. The loud sound made Wei Zhang Zihan who was still on his way here gasp in shock from hearing it.
