BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
76 - Surprise

The explosion of light occurred simultaneously with the cry of one of the warriors. It happened so suddenly, it really surprised everyone.

Wei Tian Yu, Elder Gu Yiling, the other warriors including Xue Xiao Wen tried to withstand the pressure that came without warning. They also watched the thing that should be just a sword-shaped stone tombstone vibrate.

"His "sword... It's the Dragon Swordsman..!" Hong Yue exclaimed, the stone he saw shattered and now the heirloom has revealed its true form.

The sword had a blade that was extremely shiny, silvery-white in color and shrouded in powerful spiritual energy. The weapon had a black-colored iron handle shaped dragon head, its presence attracting the attention of everyone.

Hong Yue smiled and darted first to where the sword was, even before anyone else had the chance to react. Another swordsman called out his name with an annoyed expression and tried to stop Hong Yue from taking the sword, but it was too late.

Just when Hong Yue's hand was holding the hilt of the sword, something that no one would have expected began to happen.

Xue Xiao Wen widened her eyes, something splashed and slightly hit her cheek. His own eyes saw clearly how Hong Yue's body was cut into pieces and thrown in various directions.

Everyone needed time to process the sudden incident and in the end they were shocked. Some of the warriors there were up to scream and not a few who fell because of shock.

!!!

"W-What happened?! Hong Yue, in-he..!"

Chu Kai who had yet to come out of his hiding place also clearly witnessed how Hong Yue had been killed just like that. He was sure, not even Hong Yue would have expected to lose a life as surprisingly as this.

!!

Elder Sheng Zei Wang and Elder Gu Yiling gasped. They looked up and saw that there was a lot of thin black smoke which were evil spirits in this place. The creatures gathered together and seemed to be drawn by the heirloom sword.

"Actually... What kind of sword is that?" Ye Chang Shi muttered and was shocked when a swordsman who was nearby shot up.

"Whatever sword type it is, he will be mine..!"

"Don't be rash..!"

"Stop..!"

!!!

The same incident as Hong Yue was repeated again. Just when the swordsman's hand was holding the handle of the sword, his entire body was instantly cut into pieces. His internal organs until they fall scattered and with a formless condition.

"Sword... IT'S THE DEVIL'S SWORD..!"

Chu Kai heard that shout and at the same time a noise started to fill this room. There was a very strong wind coming out from the blade of the sword. The rocks and floors that were hit by this wind exploded, crumbling into pieces.

Elder Sheng Zei Wang, Elder Gu Yiling, Xue Xiao Wen, including Wei Tian Yu jumped to avoid the wind. But there are also warriors near them who do not have time to dodge. The bodies of the warriors were cut into pieces and not a few were killed instantly.

Chu Kai took a breath, his hands clenched and his eyes glared sharply. With teeth grinding, he remembered a name. The figure that brought him to this place, as well as someone made him get involved in the situation he was in now.

"Along...... Yang Wang,"

Wei Zhang Zihan was currently outside the ancient tomb cave. He was with Chen Xiao Yang and Huang Zhang, as well as the three warriors from the White Jade Sect. Among them, looks were Xia Ling Qing and Long Yang Wang who were currently unconscious as well.

Chen Xiao Yang and Huang Zhang had previously invited the warriors they had met on the road to get out of this ancient tomb cave, yet only the members of the White Jade Sect wanted to listen. They were also in a place that could be said to be safe, because there was no sign of demonic beasts or evil spirits in this place.

"Do you feel it?" Chen Xiao Yang opened his voice. He said, "Somehow do I feel there's something so pressing in there."

"Mn, there was a wind blowing out from within the mouth of the cave. Looks like someone has already found a very valuable heirloom in this place,"

Wei Zhang Zihan stared for a moment at the swordsmen who were talking nearby. He turned back and looked straight ahead. Right now, Chu Kai was still inside there and had no idea what he was doing.

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

Wei Zhang Zihan actually wanted to go back inside, but Xia Ling Qing was still unconscious and it was not good if she left the girl along with the cultivators who were not from the Wushi Mountain Sect.

Wei Zhang Zihan, Chen Xiao Yang, Huang Zhang and the other warriors were unaware that a line of faint smiles were forming on Long Yang Wang's face. The 14-year-old apparently had been unconscious for a long time, but still pretended to be unconscious.

And in addition, none of them knew about the grand plan that Long Yang Wang had already carried out. Moreover, the only person who already suspected him was currently inside the cave, standing under the dim light of the moon grass while looking at the warriors from the various sects losing their lives.

That figure was Chu Kai, he now understood that Long Yang Wang had already lied to him about the Dragon Swordsman Sword. It is possible that news of the ancient tomb was also spread by the teenager and they were made as sacrificial offerings from the demonic weapons he was currently seeing.

Xue Xiao Wen waved her red scarf to avenge the dangerous wind, as did Wei Tian Yu who had thrown some sword techniques.

The conditions in the core room of the ancient tomb were filled with strong winds, explosive sounds, and the roar of the swordsmen's breath. There were some of them who were about to escape, but while running towards the room where they had come before - instantly there were also many demonic beasts running in.

Elder Gu Yiling and Han Dong Qing who were currently dodging seemed shocked when they saw three warriors killed being stepped on by a large demon beast. Not only that, the other demonic beasts actually bit the bodies of the three warriors and chewed on them just like that.

!!!

This was clearly a massacre, a trap aimed at warriors. Anyone would definitely not have thought that the ancient tomb cave that should have abundant precious treasures was now a mass tomb for its visitors.

?!

Surprisingly, the wind was blowing fast as well as killing the demon beasts. The humming sound grew stronger and slowly the sword that struck it began to move, as if it was about to detach itself.

"Miss Xue..!" Zhu Lui exclaimed, "We need to get out of here. That sword can take our lives if it's still in this place."

"We must do something to the sword first if we want to survive," Xue Xiao Wen was barely hit by the gust of wind, but was lucky that she was saved by Tang Wu Shang.

Skilled warriors like Ye Chang Shi attempted to fend off the wind with similar shaped spiritual energy. They were warriors who studied the spiritual energy change technique so as to create a wind that was also quite strong. Although it is not as sharp as the wind released by the heirloom sword.

Chu Kai himself was still where he stood, he had not come out yet and did not seem to have any intention of showing himself. His skill in sword technique still had to be more honed, and that was why if he was reckless to go there.... Then the chances of winning will not be greater.

Using the Dragon Breathing Technique did not help him at all. There are actually those warriors who will just die. Chu Kai did not like some of those warriors, but he also did not want to dirty his own hands to help them.

"Long Yang Wang's... What exactly is the boy planning?" Chu Kai said, "He said that I have an aura that can attract dragon swords. But what it looks like now.... That sword was precisely more suitable to be called a bloodthirsty demon sword."

Chu Kai flinched as he suddenly realized something, "Wait. I drew the sword and did not move at all. The sword did not even attack me the same as when he attacked Hong Yue. So then... What the hell is going on?"

Chu Kai was wondering. The young man recalled every incident when he came to this place alone to have to hide and still did not understand. It was clear that the sword that had previously become a stone was now changing to reveal its true form, but it was also not due to its interference.

"I felt a dragon aura on the sword, but it really wasn't me who caused the sword to change. So if not, then because of what..?"

"Because the number of offerings is more than enough."

!!

Chu Kai froze as a very close foreign voice sounded in his ears. A hand touched his shoulder and when he turned his head, the look in his eyes was directly faced with the face of a woman.

"You..."

"I told you you were mine. So how can I let go?"

The figure beside Chu Kai was none other than Wu Shezi. The scorpion snake demon he encountered before he entered into the cave of this ancient tomb. This subject was also the one who asked him to destroy the purple crystal which was somehow for what purpose.

"So why are you hiding in this place?" Wu Shezi smiled. She was in a human form and honestly had a pretty face even though Chu Kai was not interested at all.

"Sweet silence," Wu Shezi looked at the warriors and then explained, "The sword you see is a weapon called the Sky Heirloom. It has a spirit in it and was the bearer of disasters in the past."

Chu Kai looked at the woman beside him and of course gasped. But still he was still very vigilant because the figure in front of him was now a very dangerous type of monster. Wu Shezi's presence could not even be detected at all and it signified that this woman's abilities had already greatly increased.

"Why are you so tense? I was explaining it to you," Wu Shezi crossed his arms and said, "This place has never been visited by a living human and if anyone comes with his life, then I will kill him."

"You know why I'm the one standing guard at the edge of the cave? That's... Because I keep that sword from ever waking up from its long slumber." Wu Shezi continued and made Chu Kai surprised.

"Ja-so you mean..?!"

"Mn, keeper of the Juewng Cliff... It was me." Wu Shezi looked at Chu Kai for a moment before sighing. He said, "Do I have to explain everything to you in a situation like this?"

Wu Shezi continued, "It's better not to discuss it first. They need much more help. You just need to know that right now I'm not on the opposite side of you,"

Chu Kai really did not know how to act right now. Near him was a monster and not far in front of him... Many warriors are fighting for their lives. That heirloom sword was completely unstoppable.

"How do I help them..?" Chu Kai was most dislikeful of having to say this to an unbelievable being like Wu Shezi.

"Tsk, your suspicion of me really sucks." Wu Shezi could feel it. He exhaled and said, "Handsome Man. You have no choice but to trust me from now on. Or the... After the warriors are gone... Then the next victim is you and me."

"Then how do I stop it?"

"You have to catch him."

!!

"captured him? Catch that sword?!" Chu Kai was surprised.

"Right," Wu Shezi said, "You should catch him. Control that sword to obey you. It was the only way that the sword could be tamed and not attack others anymore."

"Are you kidding me?" Chu Kai said. "I saw Hong Yue wielding the sword and his body was instantly cut off just like that. But you just want me to yang-ukh! Why not just you?!"

"If only I could, do you think I would hide with you here?" Wu Shezi. "You're the Dragon Warrior, I'm sure you'll find a way. So think about it,"

"Tsk, this stealthy woman is of no help at all." Chu Kai focused on paying attention to each and every move of the warriors and was about to call out the name of Elder Gu Yiling when the elder was about to be hit by an attack.

"Oh! Swordsman Wang Xiao Cheng," Chu Kai saw that Wang Xiao Cheng was among the warriors from the various sects. He witnessed how Wang Xiao Cheng helped Ye Chang Shi despite being in a different sect.

"He's a good young man..." Chu Kai muttered as his forehead began to shrivel. Wang Xiao Cheng's position and step while avoiding the wind made him aware of something.

!!!

"What's wrong?" Wu Shezi realized Chu Kai's shock. He blinked, "Have you found anything?"

"I guess... I know how.."

?!

Wu Shezi flinched, "Right? Hows it? Tell me quickly."

"But you have to help me,"

!?
