BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
73 - Wang Xiao Cheng [2]

"Dragon Swordsman Chu Kai, there is no particular reason for me including the Dead Moon Sect to send people to kill you." Xue Xiao Wen shook his head slowly. His tone of voice was gentle, but it still could not break the suspicion of the young man before him.

"Miss Xue Xiao Wen, do you know why I don't believe your words at all?" Chu Kai said, "I can hear the beating of the heart even the breathing of someone. I can distinguish the subject only by the sounds I hear and you.... He is the most dangerous person. You can't cover up your lies,"

Xue Xiao Wen's eyes slightly changed, but then returned as before. He smiled, "It's hard to explain if you've instilled hatred in me, and even considered me a liar. But the one thing Dragon Warrior Chu Kai must know, there is no reason for me to kill you."

"Is that really so?" chu Kai's voice was cold. Inwardly he would be extremely hostile towards himself if he came to believe the words of this woman from the Dead Moon Sect.

"Miss Xue Xiao Wen. I am not a new person who is completely unfamiliar with the Dead Moon Sect. Hmph, that sect of yours... Doesn't it really like to attack anyone for no reason?"

Xue Xiao Wen pondered in silence.

Chu Kai said, "I have no skill in reading the character of one's face. But if it has to do with you or the Dead Moon Sect, then even a single breath has already proven how bad you guys are."

A thin smile was seen on the beautiful face of Xue Xiao Wen. The girl looked at Chu Kai and said, "But I want to praise you. Somehow you can make people feel flattered and humiliated at the same time,"

Xue Xiao Wen continued, "Dragon Swordsman Chu Kai can hate me. But I can't do the same with you at all. I like you, that's all."

Chu Kai held his sword firmly. His voice was cold as he said, "There are many men who can be fooled by that remark, but not by me. So it's best that Miss Xue Xiao Wen step aside before I lose control and skin you in this place."

"Oh, that's a cruel threat." Xue Xiao Wen still smiled and saw Chu Kai walking away leaving him. He shook his head slowly and was about to follow the young man when suddenly the floor he was on collapsed.

!!!

The incident happened very quickly and even without warning. Chu Kai and Xue Xiao Wen were surprised, both of them were unable to respond so quickly that they fell into a tinderbox.

The thing that caused the collapse of the land that Chu Kai and Xue Xiao Wen stepped on came from Wang Xiao Cheng's fight against an evil spirit in the form of a skull spider.

It happened about a few hours ago when Wang Xiao Cheng walked into a room by himself. He was the only cultivator who first came and explored this ancient tomb cave.

Wang Xiao Cheng should have reached the core of the cave chamber of the ancient tomb, but because of the many passageways in the street and the several times he had to fight - he became lost and ended up in this place instead.

The map given by his sect elder was only the location of the ancient tomb cave, he had absolutely no map regarding which path to pass after being inside the cave. In the end Wang Xiao Cheng chose to move according to his own instincts.

The room he was in was inhabited by an evil spirit that was the guardian of one of the Intermediate Level Heirlooms, a Three Disaster Spear that had unspeakable power.

The heirloom was among the strongest and although what Wang Xiao Cheng was looking for was the Dragon Swordsman Sword, he did not want to let go of this heirloom that was before him.

The Spear of the Three Disasters had a very great name. And the reason why the heirloom with the name of this extraordinary trouser is only at the intermediate level because its manufacture has not reached the stage of purification. That means if there is someone who can purify it, then this heirloom will be at an even higher level.

It could be that the Spear of the Three Disasters became a High Level Heirloom, an Earth Heirloom, and did not even rule out the possibility of becoming a Sky Heirloom. Wang Xiao Cheng was confident that if he managed to bring home the spear, then his sect elder would go to great lengths to help himself purify this heirloom.

!!

The problem now was the middle-level heirloom evil spirit. Wang Xiao Cheng must be able to defeat a centipede with a head that has two large claws and a tail that is like a giant scorpion.

Wang Xiao Cheng had already done his best sword technique, but indeed this creature he was fighting against was not only agile in dodging, but also quick in counterattacking.

Not only did it use its tail, the huge creature also spouted an extremely strong wind from its mouth. One of the giant monster attacks hits the ceiling of the room and makes it collapse.

Wang Xiao Cheng was lucky to be able to move quickly dodging the attack, only just as the ceiling in this room was collapsing - he was startled by two people who had fallen so hard.

!!

The shock wind accompanied by flying dust makes vision momentarily blurry. But it didn't take long until Wang Xiao Cheng recognized one of the two people who had fallen earlier.

There was a woman in red clothes, clanking a small bell as she moved making Wang Xiao Cheng sure that the figure was a member of the Dead Moon Sect. Another subject was an 18-year-old with a face that looked so unfamiliar.

Chu Kai grimaced and tried to wake up. He then gasped for hearing the women's laughter and then looked over. Xue Xiao Wen stood not far away from him and was still laughing without him understanding what was amusing in this place.

"Aiya... How should I explain this, Dragon Warrior Chu Kai. Did you set a trap to bury me alive here?"

"What?" Chu Kai shook his head, he snorted and said. "What's troubling me about setting a trap? Especially for someone like you."

Xue Xiao Wen was just about to speak when suddenly the atmosphere around him became extremely cold. This strange feeling made him instantly take a wary stance and look ahead. Chu Kai noticed it and now began to see something moving among the scattered dust.

The hand wave from Xue Xiao Wen made the dust instantly disappear. Now Chu Kai could clearly see a fiery red-eyed creature so close to him.

!!!

The centipede monster with the scorpion tail was about to roar and attack Chu Kai, but then Wang Xiao Cheng came and directly attacked the monstrous creature.

"Keep away from here..!" w.a.n.g Xiao Cheng's exclamation made Chu Kai and Xue Xiao Wen jump backwards.

The monstrous monster came back to fight fiercely, where Xue Xiao Wen and Chu Kai just stood watching.

Chu Kai frowned, the young man who had helped him just now had the same clothes as the members of the Tianzhi Sect. He paid close attention to the face of the subject and recognized this person.

"He is Swordsman Wang Xiao Cheng..! The genius of the Tianzhi Sect was on par with the Sacred Swordsman." Chu Kai could not possibly not know such an extraordinary young man.

Chu Kai was a fan of the 5 Sacred Swordsmen and arguably followed every news regarding the five warriors. Wang Xiao Cheng was in one of his memories regarding the greats who had faced the holy swordsman, especially Sacred Swordsman Wei Zhang Zihan and Sacred Swordsman Xia Ling Qing.

"Hmm?" Xue Xiao Wen noticed Chu Kai's countenance and then opened his voice. "You seem to be very enthusiastic about Young Master Wang. Do you know each other?"

Chu Kai's expression turned sharply as he turned his head towards Xue Xiao Wen. In a cold voice, he said. "I know no one is none of your business, either,"

"God... You are showing your hatred very clearly. You're hurting my heart.." Xue Xiao Wen smiled before returning to notice Wang Xiao Cheng's fight against the extremely agile monster.

Xue Xiao Wen's attention then led to something hovering above a rock. It was like a spear with a golden light enveloping it. He paid attention to Wang Xiao Cheng's fight again before starting to grin.

!

Xue Xiao Wen was about to pick up the thing that was the heirloom of the Three Calamities Spear. Wang Xiao Cheng who realized this then gave a long-range attack to prevent the woman from getting the heirloom that should belong to her.

"You'll die if you take that thing." Wang Xiao Cheng threatened, he went back to face the monster before him and then issued a sword technique that made the air in this place hot.

!!

"It's..." Chu Kai knew what Wang Xiao Cheng was going to do. He had seen the young man use the same technique when fighting against one of the Sacred Swordsmen.

"The Phoenix Fire Wave.... It's even stronger than I've ever seen." Chu Kai was indeed very fond of the Sacred Swordsman, but he also respected opponents who could be on par with his idol.

The Phoenix Fire Wave Technique included troublesome attacks and was difficult for Sacred Swordsman Xia Ling Qing to deal with. There were even some occasions where this technique almost won against the girl's Three Streams of Fire Circle. Now if Xia Ling Qing were to come back face to face with Wang Xiao Cheng-it was likely that the young man's technique had already surpassed the Sacred Swordsman he had loved.

"Amazing..." Chu Kai was able to see the flames forming waves with many forms of phoenix. His voice produced was loud and it was beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

Centipede monsters with scorpion tails move quickly. He twisted his body and then blasted a wind attack from his mouth. The two different forces then collided into each other in the air. The temperature in this place also increased and made Chu Kai focus on regulating his breathing.

Opportunity was seen when Chu Kai carefully watched the monster's body movements. He raised his sword and then threw it away using one of the Dragon Breathing Techniques.

!!!

Chu Kai's actions managed to disrupt the concentration of that monstrous monster so that his attacks became reduced and Wang Xiao Cheng's attack technique managed to hit the head of the huge creature, even to the point of blowing it up into small pieces.

Wang Xiao Cheng had not been able to calm down despite having already defeated the guards of this place. He turned his gaze toward the heirloom he had been after and discovered that it had already disappeared along with Xue Xiao Wen.

Both of Wang Xiao Cheng's hands were clenched tightly. The veins on his forehead were clearly formed and this signified how furious he was at the woman who had already snatched away his relics.

"Damn it,"

"Proman Wang Xiao Cheng?"

"What?!" Wang Xiao Cheng snapped and made Chu Kai startled. He looked extremely annoyed and as if he wanted to skin anyone right now.

"Anu... Um... Forgive me," Chu Kai scratched his cheek softly. He actually did not know why to apologize, but the subject before him looked extremely angry.

Wang Xiao Cheng tried to catch his breath, he tried to calm down. Slowly he took a breath and then said slowly, "I should apologize. I've been yelling at you. You're this..."

"Ah, my name is Chu Kai."

"Chu Kai?" Wang Xiao Cheng thought about it for quite a while and then watched carefully the face of the young man in front of him.

Wang Xiao Cheng said, "You're the Dragon Warrior?"

"Ehm... Well yeah.. That's how.." Chu Kai slowly scratched his non-itchy cheeks. His voice was soft as he said, "I don't have such a powerful ability to be said to be a Dragon Swordsman."

"I know the Dragon Swordsman was chosen by the heavens," Wang Xiao Cheng said, "You may have something that no one else has."

Chu Kai looked deeply at Wang Xiao Cheng and then smiled, "Thank you..."

"But what made Swordsman Wang Xiao Cheng so upset?" Chu Kai asked and set his gaze following the eyes of this young man. He felt astonished as Wang Xiao Cheng continued to look towards the wall that was completely nothing there.

Wang Xiao Cheng breathed softly, "There is an heirloom that I should be able to obtain if I manage to defeat the monster earlier. But someone shameless has already taken what I should have,"

"................" Chu Kai lowered his gaze. He knew clearly who this young man was referring to.

"Heah... Never mind," Wang Xiao Cheng sighed, "If something is indeed destined for me to have, then no one will be able to snatch it. The sky must have a better plan,"

Wang Xiao Cheng sheathed back his sword and looked towards Chu Kai. He asked, "Where are you going after this, Dragon Swordsman Chu."

"Just call Kai, I'm not used to that name."

"Alright, then you can also call me Xiao Cheng."

"Mn," Chu Kai became extremely awkward. He was next to a great warrior. In the past, he could only see Wang Xiao Cheng from a very long distance, even while jostling with others.

Chu Kai rubbed his nape and said, "I actually want to go to the core of this room. There's something I want to find,"

"What is the Dragon Swordsman Sword?"

!!

Chu Kai flinched and saw the young man's reaction made Wang Xiao Cheng say, "Then I can't help you. The Dragon Swordsman... I'm after him, too."

"Well..."

"The heirloom is at the core of this ancient tomb cave. You better be careful because there are many hallways and do not rule out the possibility that you will get lost. I'll go first," Wang Xiao Cheng put his hand together and saluted before walking away.

"Tu-wait a minute," Chu Kai called the young man over. He said, "Why not just look for it together?"

Wang Xiao Cheng stopped his steps. He turned around and smiled. His voice was calm as he said, "The sword is only one and I open people who like to cooperate with others. If we face each other later, I won't hesitate at all."

!

Chu Kai looked at Wang Xiao Cheng's back who was getting further away. When the young man was no longer visible, he exhaled and shook his head slowly.

"That is... I can take him to the sword. But... Is correct. That something that is destined to be owned, then it will not be captured by anyone."
