BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
77 - The Devil's Sword

Elders Sheng Zei Wang and Wang Xiao Cheng were seen injured on their arms. The robes that both wear are made of quality materials so that they can withstand fire and attack opponents whose levels are below them.

But currently let alone being able to survive, to avoid the attack from the demon sword was also very difficult. Wang Xiao Cheng even felt so weak in the face of a weapon.

On the other hand, Xue Xiao Wen had also tried and exerted almost all of his strength. He gasped for breath, yet every time he endured the onslaught of coming-a strange uneasiness kept coming at him.

Xue Xiao Wen felt that the demon sword up ahead had yet to show its original attack. Not long after thinking about it, a loud voice came out from the demonic sword which signified that his unease was correct.

!!!

It was a fierce and wild gust of wind, it was hard to see the gap, let alone its extremely fast movement. Elder Gu Yiling, Elder Sheng Zei Wang, including Wang Xiao Cheng could not see any evasive opportunities.

Other warriors have difficulty thinking. It felt like their brains had stopped and only knew that at this moment death was before all of them.

Just when there was no chance, a mist instantly gushed out from one of the passageways. The mist spread out, covering the entire room and enveloping the bodies of the warriors. Wang Xiao Cheng was surprised, but with this fog... He could see the trajectory of that strong wind that was completely devoid of any gaps.

Someone shot out from the side of Wang Xiao Cheng. It was difficult to recognize it because of the fog. He heard a voice and was convinced that the figure was a man.

"Dragon Breathing Techniques.... No trace."

!!!

The loud sound from the wind emitted by the demonic sword suddenly stopped. The thick fog had disappeared for a while before it again filled this room. Wang Xiao Cheng himself only saw the back of that figure wearing black clothes.

"Go from here,"

The voice was short, yet it sounded deep and had power. Everyone inside the room heard it, including Wang Xiao Cheng. They were shocked and astonished at the arrival of another person who knew who it was, but was able to stop the attack from the demon sword.

It's just, it didn't last long... The loud voice was heard again. The warriors remembered the words of the figure and they immediately fled. Elder Gu Yiling and Elder Sheng Zei Wang could not think of a way to help their helper, but both agreed that if it remained here - then it would only trouble the great swordsman.

Xue Xiao Wen was also taken away by his two comrades. The figure's breathing technique had given it pause and stopped the demon sword attack for a while. It is this situation that people are taking advantage of to leave the place, saving their only life.

Wang Xiao Cheng was the last to leave. He turned around for a moment and now saw that among the fog that existed... The figure had glowing green eyes. Either the subject is a human or just one of the creatures that guard this place.

After the warriors left, Wei Shezi began to show his form. The fog still covered this place, but all that was left right now was him and the man who was none other than Chu Kai.

That young man had already used the Dragon Breathing Technique and now he was using it again. Wei Shezi's mist faded from being exposed to the effects of the technique, yet on the other hand - the shrill voice of the demonic sword was also not heard.

"You told them to go, what's next?" Wei Shezi opened his voice. He was just about to speak back when Chu Kai suddenly interrupted.

"come."

?!

Wei Shezi was shocked. That demonic sword moved and quickly attacked Chu Kai. His one swing created a strong wind that split the mist belonging to Wu Shezi as well as blew up the wall.

His voice was so loud that the warriors who were saving themselves were shocked. The sound was even heard coming out. Wei Zhang Zihan who was waiting for Chu Kai became even more agitated.

"Oh, Miss Xia..?!" Chen Xiao Yan gasped. His cry made Wei Zhang Zihan turn around and see that Xia Ling Qing was already starting to wake up.

"Ling Qing," Wei Zhang Zihan walked over to the light blue-clothed girl. He helped Xia Ling Qing sit down.

"How are you doing?"

"What's going on?" Xia Ling Qing did not answer Wei Zhang Zihan's question. He endured the pain in his body before starting to circulate his gaze and now knew that he was outside the ancient tomb cave.

"Why are we out here?" Xia Ling Qing opened his voice, he saw that there were only a few warriors with him. It was so different from when he came to this place.

"long story. But are you okay?"

"Mn, I'm fine. Where is that guy?" Xia Ling Qing searched for the whereabouts of someone and did not find it in this place.

Wei Zhang Zihan seemed to know the person his fellow-sister was looking for and replied. "Chu Kai is still inside,"

"What?" Xia Ling Qing flinched. He tried to get up, but his body was still too weak. In the end he fell, but was lucky because Wei Zhang Zihan was holding his body.

"You can't move much yet" Wei Zhang Zihan said. "He asked me to take care of you, he must be fine."

"Wei Zhang Zihan, since when did you become such a submissive?" Xia Ling Qing looked at the young man beside her and said, "You know what she looks like. That person didn't even know anything about cultivation levels and sword techniques. But you just let it go?"

"I'll be there," Xia Ling Qing tried to stand up, but his arm was held by Wei Zhang Zihan.

"Don't do anything,"

"Wei Zhang Zihan!"

"You don't know anything" Wei Zhang Zihan said. "If he were as weak as you think he was, would that person insist on staying inside? He's obviously hiding something,"

"You mean... He's been hiding his powers all this time?"

"Have you never thought of any awkwardness about her?"

!

Wei Zhang Zihan's question made Xia Ling Qing speechless. The girl also remained in her position while staring at the lips of the cave not far before her.

The one who felt the impact from the sound of the explosion was none other than Xue Xiao Wen who was currently still inside the cave passage along with the warriors from the other sects. They were shocked because the walls on both sides of them began to look cracked, the longer the line of cracks was increasing.

"Faster..!" a warrior exclaimed, "We must get out of this place immediately."

!

There was a female warrior who fell. He had a torn wound to his thigh and calf. Some of the warriors just left him, not intending to help. But a hand suddenly grabbed his arm and helped him stand up.

The female swordsman gasped, the figure that helped her was none other than Wang Xiao Cheng. He was helped to move and they rushed back to get out of this place. The sound of a huge explosion was heard.

!!!

It was a fierce fight that Chu Kai was going through. The natural green-eyed youth had to face the ferocity of a demonic sword on the side also had to be wary of the rocks falling on the ceiling of the room.

Wei Shezi helped Chu Kai by wearing his mist. This ability made Chu Kai able to see every single wind trajectory that belonged to that demonic sword so that it could be properly avoided.

Wei Shezi himself was quite impressed with Chu Kai's movements. The young man did not make any excessive movements, his every move was so measurable, and without any gaps. Especially when Wei Shezi took good care of him - he could tell that doing the move required a high degree of skill.

Chu Kai took out one of the swords he saw and then launched an attack using his breathing technique. The wind created by the demonic sword momentarily stopped, and as if it had a mind of its own-he also attacked Chu Kai with a powerful killing aura.

The clash of the two weapons created a lightning strike-like sound, let alone Wei Shezi actually seeing there was a streak of lightning formed when Chu Kai's weapon and the demon sword intersected.

!!

Chu Kai felt it again. This was the umpteenth time where he felt a dense dragon aura and seemed to attract it. Especially after the feeling came, he could see a fine red thread that was somehow red.

Chu Kai's eyes changed as well, he seemed to be starting to understand what he had just seen. The red thread that should be it was made from spirits and was likely the spirit of those beings that were absorbed by this sword.

The thread tied to the shadow of the demonic sword he was facing. Chu Kai also recalled Wei Shezi's earlier remark.

"You have to catch him. Control that sword to obey you. It was the only way that the sword could be tamed and not attack others anymore."

The color of Chu Kai's eyes flashed and he returned using his dragon breathing technique. He stopped the crazy wind attack that the demon sword was trying to get out and then started to dart.

!!

Wei Shezi saw Chu Kai not grabbing the sword. The green-eyed young man was actually trying to hold the shadow of the demon sword and apparently succeeded.

"He's.." Wei Shezi. Obviously he was surprised not to play because it was unthinkable for him under the sword to be conquered by holding his shadow.

The demon sword that had been fighting all this time seemed to fade away before it finally disappeared. Wei Shezi saw that the sword shadow was still there and slowly started to bring out subtle red thread-shaped spiritual energy.

In Chu Kai's hands, that spiritual energy condensed and then formed a sword with a silvery blade. Wei Shezi saw that the shape of the sword was the same as the demon sword he had seen, but without a fight.

"Did you succeed?" Wei Shezi opened his voice. He walked towards Chu Kai with curiosity.

"I think so..." Chu Kai also noticed the sword in his hand that was quite heavy, but it also had an unusual aura.

Wei Shezi extended her hand slowly and mist enveloped her right hand. A sword handle formed from his dense fog and he handed the thing to Chu Kai.

"Use this for your sword," Wei Shezi opened his voice and made Chu Kai look at him.

"............." Chu Kai watched Wei Shezi and then took the sword sheath in the woman's hand. He said, "I got it. Now you can tell me what really happened,"

"............." Wei Shezi crossed hands. He looked up and then asked, "Do you not want to... Get out of this place first?"

Chu Kai's forehead shriveled. He followed the direction of Wei Shezi's gaze and saw the ceiling above him crack. That instant something shocking happened as well.

The ceiling in the room collapsed, dropping rocks of different sizes. Even the surrounding walls exploded.

!!!

This extremely loud voice was felt by Elder Gu Yiling, Elder Sheng Zei Wang, including Wang Xiao Cheng and the warriors who were still in the cave passage.

"Miss Xue! Wall's down..!" Zhu Liu exclaimed as he felt his rats that were in the very back row dying from the rubble. His call made the other warriors panic.

"Through here," Wei Tian Yu was at the very front of the line and became a pointer for the others. Tension ensued as some of the warriors shouted as the walls around them and the ceiling began to collapse.

"That's the way out. Hurry along!" Han Dong Qing looked at the mouth of the cave he had previously entered despite its quite messy condition.

Just when the warriors managed to get out, the sound of explosions was heard again and the door of the cave was again buried in the ground and large rocks. Chen Xiao Yan and Huan Zhang breathed a sigh of relief as the warriors managed to get out safely.

Wei Zhang Zihan saw some swordsmen coughing due to the dust breeze coming from the stone ruins from this ancient meal. He also walked and helped the warrior who looked wounded, but thank God that the swordsman still survived.

The members of the White Jade Sect did not remain silent either. They were helping other warriors, including Elder Gu Yiling. There were many faces that were still very shocked and it was clear that they were so tired.

Long Yang Wang himself started to open his eyes and then woke up. The situation where the ancient tomb collapsed meant that the battle with the demon sword was over even though he was quite impressed because there were still many survivors.

Long Yang Wang's hand was secretly clenched. The warriors were supposed to die and become food for his demonic sword, but unfortunately they managed to escape death.

"Kai...? Where is Chu Kai?" Wei Zhang Zihan noticed the people around him and indeed did not find Chu Kai. No young man was among the warriors who managed to get out of the ruins of the ancient tomb in front of him.

Long Yang Wang also paid attention to every swordsman that existed and indeed did not see Chu Kai. His eyes widened as he looked towards the mouth of the cave that was already covered in rocks.

"What's he... Still in there?!" Long Yang Wang was shocked when the thought appeared. But compared to worry, he showed a very excited eye twinkle. It was as if he was happy that Chu Kai was buried in ruins.
