BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
54 - Fighting

The swordsman and townspeople who had previously chased after the boy brought by Wei Zhang Zihan looked surprised. They did not expect someone would come and directly attack.

The problem was, it was not an ordinary attack as the figure before them slashed the limbs of a man and unhesitatingly beheaded his opponent. Everyone had not even had a chance to react, the incident happened so quickly.

"What's going on?!"

"You!"

"See!" Chu Kai exclaimed. His breath gasping with a straight look stared at the figure of the man who was now lying lifeless before him.

The townspeople and warriors who followed Chu Kai's gaze began to widen their eyes. It felt like the surprise was coming in a row. The man who was previously attacked to lifeless is now seen wriggling on the ground and showing his form.

The man's face turned very pale and with eyes that were all white. There were blackish thin veins forming on his face and the man's mouth was spitting out blood.

The look turned terrible, especially when both hands moved broken and with sharp fingernails. There was one of the warriors among the citizens who recognized the symptoms and without further ado directly attacked and slashed the man's body. Blood splashed and a bit hit Chu Kai's clothes.

"You guys are after something without knowing that among you there are dead people," Chu Kai still calmed his heartbeat. He pointed to the man who had been slashed to the ground and said, "This man... I don't know what happened to him, but he's definitely not human."

"He's a mutant," the swordsman who performed the last slash opened his voice and made Chu Kai flinch. He said, "Humans who don't die from being bitten by a Demon Beast will become mutants. They are dead, but not completely dead. They can still live their lives as usual, but also differently at the same time. Mutants are more dangerous because they cannot be detected and no one knows when they go wild and attack humans."

The wandering swordsman looked towards Chu Kai and spoke again, "I said that mutants cannot be detected. Then how do you recognize him? Whom.. You're this?"

Chu Kai gasped at the sudden question. He blinked and then started to open his voice. Chu Kai said, "I... I was..."

"Wait a minute" someone approached and squinting, he noticed the man before him.

"You are this." the man rubbed his chin slowly and blinked. He was flabbergasted and then pointed at Chu Kai, "Aren't you the famous one?! Dragon Swordsman of Wushi Mountain Sect..!"

"REally?!"

!!

Everyone gasped, including Chu Kai himself. The natural green-eyed man blinked and pointed to himself. He said, "I..? Dragon Warrior?"

"Aiya! Of course, who else is it? What I heard was that the Dragon Swordsman of the Wushi Mountain Sect had naturally green eyes and an unusual face. That must be you, right?"

Chu Kai blinked a few times and then waved, "Master. How could it be me? I'm just... Just an ordinary wanderer. I'm..."

Chu Kai thought and then said, "I hunt demons. Yeah! I was... Temple followers who hunt stealth. How can you misidentify people?"

Chu Kai bitterly laughed and said, "How can the Dragon Swordsman be in this place. And did you look well at my appearance? Are those in the Wushi Mountain Sect wearing clothes like this?"

!!

The man flinched. He blinked before finally nodding softly, "Right as well. It was not the clothes of the Wushi Mountain Sect. I reckon... I did misidentify people,"

"Hey, who are you really trying to lie to?" one of the warriors patted Chu Kai on the shoulder. He said, "In your hands is the sword of the Wushi Mountain Sect. And that's not all... The heirloom that you hold is the Sword of Wangshang belonging to the Sacred Swordsman Wei Zhang Zihan."

!!!

Chu Kai was surprised and spontaneously saw the sword he was holding. In her heart she cursed herself for ignoring such a small detail, it was now difficult for her to pretend and hide her identity in front of these people.

"What?" Chu Kai blinked, "Why should I hide someone?"

"You must be working with Swordsman Wei Zhang Zihan and saving the demon. Where are they now..!" the man unsheathed the machete he had always used to cut meat towards Chu Kai.

Everyone took some distance, unsheathing each of their weapons towards that natural green-eyed youth. Chu Kai was naturally surprised by the situation that was clearly bad when viewed from his point of view.

"A Dragon Swordsman should not protect a type of demon. But if given that you are from the Wushi Mountain Sect, then this is not impossible. Sacred Swordsman like Wei Zhang Zihan alone dared to do this despicable act, let alone someone like you."

"So your words, sir." Chu Kai opened his voice. His tone stiffened as he said, "Executor Wei Zhang Zihan did nothing despicable. There must be a reason why he did it, I believe him."

"Of course because you're part of the Wushi Mountain Sect..!" one of the men exclaimed, "Do you know. Demons are evil and dangerous creatures to humans. Destroying it is natural that no human being dies and becomes a victim. But it was Sacred Warrior Wei Zhang Zihan... It helps stealth."

"Sacred Warrior Wei Zhang Zihan must be inside that temple..!" someone opened their voice and made Chu Kai startled.

"You can't get in!" Chu Kai prevented it by unsheathing his sword. He said, "It's a temple. Even though you are old and no longer visited by people, still you can not do anything carelessly."

"Hmph," one of the warriors snorted and said, "Maybe people are impressed by your identity as the Dragon Swordsman. But not with me, so get out of the way before I forget and hurt you."

Chu Kai was just about to speak when someone suddenly exclaimed and pointed up. That person called out Wei Zhang Zihan's name and made Chu Kai spontaneously turn around before raising his head.

!!

Wei Zhang Zihan stood on a large rock and in a light blue robe that seemed to flutter. The two warriors immediately darted and directly attacked the man to the point of making Chu Kai widen his eyes.

"Stop..! You can't be like this..!" Chu Kai exclaimed, but no one heard his call including Wei Zhang Zihan. Not only that, some people now rushed over and attacked him instead.

!!!

Chu Kai had no choice but to fight against these angry people. He used Wei Zhang Zihan's sword and repelled every attack that came. Chu Kai even used a kick even though he had no intention of harming these people.

On the other hand, Wei Zhang Zihan was fighting against three swordsmen who were each of them from different places. His opponent's third sword movement was not the same so Wei Zhang Zihan had to be more careful.

"You better tell me where you're hiding the demon..!" a warrior snaps. He used a kick and his movements were successfully avoided by Wei Zhang Zihan.

"The creature you consider a demon is just a child. He's a human being,"

"There can't be a human being with such an appearance..!"

"You better just say it, Swordsman Wei. Why are you protecting that demon, you're obviously ruining your own name and also denigrating your sect."

Wei Zhang Zihan drew his other sword and simultaneously held back the slash of one of the swordsmen. The clash of swords sounded extremely loud, even to the point of creating sparks.

A warrior always carries two weapons. Of course this applies to those who do not yet possess any Sacred Heirloom, including Wei Zhang Zihan.

Wanshang is indeed famous as a sword belonging to Wei Zhang Zihan, but the weapon is not of the type of Sacred Heritage. Wangshang was just a High-tier sword that Wei Zhang Zihan had obtained after becoming a Sacred Swordsman.

Wangshang was in Chu Kai's hands right now and for Wei Zhang Zihan-he wore an Intermediate-ranked heirloom sword. It has absolutely no privileges, but enough to deal with these three foreign warriors.
