BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
79 - Wei Shezi

Just when Chu Kai saw that the black-robed young man was smiling towards him, he felt a jolt and made him come to a realization.

"Hey...? Hey..?!"

!!

Chu Kai woke up and immediately coughed. He felt his heart beating very fast and saw sweat on his neck and forehead.

Chu Kai looked around and was shocked to learn that the one who had just called him was Wei Shezi.

"What is this about you?" Wei Shezi patted Chu Kai on the shoulder and said, "I've been trying to wake you up since. What happened to you, huh?"

Chu Kai was still trying to catch his breath. He realized that he was on the ground and Wei Shezi was beside him. Around him there was no more fog or strangers that he saw as before. His expression was clearly shocked mixed with confusion.

"I.. Where is it?" Chu Kai opened his voice and made Wei Shezi frown.

The beautiful woman crossed her arms and then shook her head slowly, "What do you mean where are you? Of course you're on the edge of Tebing Juewng. You should thank me for saving you from those ruins."

Wei Shezi said, "I tried hard to wake you up unconscious. I called you repeatedly, but you didn't wake up. You're making people anxious, you know? I almost thought you were dead."

Chu Kai looked at the face of the woman beside him and looked around again. He was indeed on the edge of the Juewng Cliff, when he should have been at the bottom of this cliff, right in the deepest part of the ancient tomb cave, trapped in the ruins.

But at absolutely nothing remembered but when his gaze was dark and he witnessed a sect being destroyed by a single person. Then suddenly he gasped and did not expect to be in this place.

"What is it you are?" Wei Shezi said, "You're sweating coldly like you've had a terrible nightmare."

"Dreams..." Chu Kai shook his head, "I'm not sure it's a dream because it feels too real. That's.... Like someone's memory,"

Wei Shezi blinked, he raised next to his eyebrows and looked astonished. Chu Kai breathed slowly and began to say what he saw. Hearing that made Wei Shezi's expression change.

"I saw the ground with a pool of blood. There are buildings that have collapsed and a lot of big poles. People were helplessly tied to that pole... Their condition is terrible..." Chu Kai took a breath and shook his head slowly.

The natural green-eyed young man said, "There's someone... He's the one who took it all out. Even without guilt. L'm... I really don't know how I got caught up in that situation. What I saw... What I witnessed... I'm..."

"I think it's because of his sword," Wei Shezi opened his voice. He made Chu Kai flinch and then stared at him.

"His sword..."

"That is the memory of the last demon sword owner" Wei Shezi explained. "Usually when a martial master is at a certain cultivation level... He would be able to store memories in his sword. It could be a memory of resentment, regret, or even a sword technique. Bottom line... It's a memory of his life,"

"Sw... This made me wonder," Wei Shezi rubbed his chin and looked at Chu Kai. He frowned and said, "How long have you been practicing cultivation really?"

Chu Kai blinked, "Why are you asking that?"

"Because you look so shocked, it's as if you've first witnessed the memories brought by an heirloom sword. Did your sect never teach you this?"

"I'm..." Chu Kai lowered his gaze and said, "I joined the Wushi Mountain Sect... Not too long ago."

"Well?!" Wei Shezi flinched, "You kidding me? You have an 18-year-old bone. Your body clearly looks trained and there are scars on your face that indicate how young you are. But you... Just joined a sect recently?"

"I-I used to only work in stores. Who knows-"

"Wait on! What did you say?" Wei Shezi was stunned. She was at a loss for words and stood up while stroking her hair as if frustrated. "Waaah... You're just a waitress?! So you haven't practiced cultivation since you were a child? Then how did you become a Dragon Warrior?!"

Chu Kai flinched, for some reason this woman looked so shocked by the fact regarding him. He noticed how Wei Shezi ruffled his hair, biting his finger, while walking back and forth and muttering things he did not understand.

"How can it be like this.." Wei Shezi looked back at Chu Kai and walked over to the young man. His face was so close that it made the natural green-eyed young man startled.

"What are you doing?" Chu Kai gave a cold voice. He was previously about to stand up, but this woman suddenly came back closer to him.

"With the Dragon Swordsman, you clearly have the ability. But it also looked so strange," Wei Shezi said. "Your cultivation level is very low, the quality of your bones is also very ordinary, but how do you have such a terrifying ability. As if... Your abilities and cultivation levels are not mutually fused. You're... Actually what?"

Chu Kai pushed the face of the woman in front of him and said, "Don't get too close. I am not practicing cultivation, but I am trained in how to kill. Quality of the bones or whatever it is... I don't understand what you mean, at all,"

"Rather than talking about me, shouldn't you keep your word?" Chu Kai said, "Before you said that the Demon Sword was a Heavenly Heirloom and there was a spirit within it. Then about the show. You obviously have a responsibility to explain it to me,"

Wei Shezi looked at Chu Kai and then exhaled. He stood up and then looked up at the sky. The moon is shining with thousands of stars up there.

Wei Shezi continued, "Among the swordsmen who once possessed this sword... There was one person who was completely unaffected by the demonic sword. He conquered the sword that had been referred to as 'The weapon that swallowed its own owner'."

Wei Shezi said, "The swordsman also sealed this demonic sword inside the ancient tomb cave for some reason. But after two hundred years... The seal weakened and the spirit within the sword slowly began to summon demon beasts as well as humans. Some are controlled and some are eaten, all so that the sword can wake up perfectly and be detached from the seal."

"So this sword is sealed?"

"I'd rather call it 'Long Sleep' because it takes a long time until the sword starts to act,"

Chu Kai looked at the woman in front of him and opened his voice. He asked, "Lantas how can you be his guardian? Is that the swordsman who asked you to,"

"Of course not" Wei Shezi said, "I've never even seen the swordsman's face. I also don't really want to be the keeper of the sword, if it weren't for me."

Seeing Chu Kai frowning made Wei Shezi sigh. He said, "Three hundred years after the sword was sealed.. I'm facing a life and death situation. Unable to explain it in detail to you, the point is that I fought with several clans of demonic beasts and got pushed all the way to this place."

Wei Shezi's voice turned cold as he said, "Then the betrayal with the person I trust the most has made me lose to the point of having to fall into the abyss and be sealed for a long time, tsk."

Wei Shezi took a breath and tried to calm down. He coughed softly and said, "This is why I can't get out of the abyss, but from the misfortune... I came to know that it was in the same place as the sleeping demon sword. I ate the human that fell into the abyss to recover my condition and in addition also managed to block the demon sword from awakening."

"But you didn't die when you fell off a cliff? Is not this sword looking for a sacrifice to feed on?"

"Hmph, can't. Because of the seal of the fuckers.. My soul cannot be eaten by the devil's sword, even though my real body has been destroyed."

!!

Chu Kai widened his eyes. He looked at Wei Shezi and said, "La-then what exactly... This yourself?!"

"Of course it's just a soul. You don't know. Your cultivation practice level is still a beginner,"

"No, no." Chu Kai shook his head. He said, "Although my cultivation level is like this, but I can distinguish spirits, demons, the dead, and humans from their voices. But I just feel that you belong to a demon, not a spirit. You're a demon... It's clearly alive,"

"I'm sure of it, but why the fight back then... He didn't die with the Dragon Breathing Technique?" Chu Kai thought about this and became confused. Only a spirit that would indeed not be affected in his breathing technique was deadly, but his sense of hearing was also impossible to go wrong.

"I'll find out about this woman later, but first..." Chu Kai took a breath and gasped as the demon sword he should have been holding was now non-existent.

!?

"Wire, where is the sword?!" Chu Kai only realized that the demon sword was not with him.

Wei Shezi shook his head and then a mist formed in his right hand. The fog solidified and became the sword that Chu Kai sought. He also knocked on the young man's head before him and made Chu Kai moan.

"You!" Chu Kai snapped. He grimaced and rubbed his head.

Chu took the demon sword in Wei Shezi's hand and pulled it. The young man was seen noticing the sword blade in front of him and as if thinking of something.

"After this... What are you gonna do next?" Wei Shezi opened his voice and made the green-eyed young man stare at him.

Chu Kai replied, "I think... Maybe kill you?"

"What's? Hah," Wei Shezi snorted, "It's so kind. I was the one who saved your life, and you just wanted to finish me off? Your reply is so beautiful, handsome."

"Didn't you want to eat me before? So there's no harm if I kill you, right?"

"Sound a handsome man. If I really wanted to eat you, would I probably wait until you wake up?" Wei Shezi said, "I must have done it since the moment you were unconscious."

"................ Then what do you want?"

"The question I've been waiting for a long time," Wei Shezi smiled. He came a little closer and then said, "I want to get you to work together."

"What?"

"I'll make you the real Dragon Warrior, even stronger than ever. So let's work together,"
