LEGEND OF THE ETERNAL FLAME WARRIOR
Episode 72's. Fishy Smell
At night in the residence of the first elder of the Ling Clan, Ling Yan was still awake in his room. The state of Ling Yan's residence now looked desolate as everyone was currently already asleep.
With the candle he used as lighting, Ling Yan appeared to be writing something on a piece of paper in front of him.
And after a while, Ling Yan had finally finished writing on the piece of paper. Ling Yan then stored the piece of paper on his bed then grabbed the Fire Blood Sword and tied it to his back.
"Ok, it's time we leave." Ling Yan muttered softly as he stepped his foot sagging out from inside his room and towards the outer door.
Tonight was actually Ling Yan planning to go towards the jade grass village to meet the healer he met 2 years ago.
Although actually Ling Yan was very interested in entering and joining the thousand swords, but he felt that the healer he met 2 years ago was not an arbitrary person, so he decided to go see the doctor.
After a long while, Ling Yan finally managed to get out of the house, he stared at the residence for a moment while muttering "Huhh I was like a thief just now." Mumbled.
Ling Yan then scratched his non-itchy head while smiling faintly. "Dad, mom, I'm sorry if what I did was so outrageous." Said Ling Yan who started to step foot towards the gate of the residence of the Ling Clan.
Ling Yan continued to step his foot towards the gate of the Ling Clan's residence, and upon arriving there, Ling Yan paused for a moment and looked at that gate that was currently guarded by two golden swordsmen who were sound asleep.
"Hmm if you recall, this incident was like when I first left the Ling Clan's residence at that time." Ling Yan nodded as he stared fixedly at the residence gate of the Ling Clan.
"Well, it's not time to think about the past." Ling Yan had now awakened himself from his daydream and turned to dart away using the body lightening science named cloud step technique that he had obtained in the Ling Clan's library a few days ago.
Ling Yan continued to dart at the high speed he had and continued to step his feet towards the place he was heading to, which was the jade grass village.
It didn't take long enough for Ling Yan to arrive at Huazi village which was still part of the Ling Clan's territory.
Arriving there, Ling Yan saw that Huazi village was still crowded by people passing by or trading. Ling Yan then stepped on the foot of one of the restaurants there to buy some food as a provision for his journey.
Arriving at the restaurant, a female servant now came and approached Ling Yan. "Excuse me young master, is there anything I can help you with." Ask the lady's maid.
"Give me 20 pieces of dry bread." Ling Yan replied to the female servant in the restaurant.
"Your young master, please wait a moment." Greet the waiter before turning around and going in to pick up Ling Yan's order of dried bread.
It did not take long for the servant to return to Ling Yan with 20 pieces of dry bread in his hand.
"This is the dry bread you ordered young master, all of which amounted to 20 bronze coins." Said the female servant while giving Ling Yan an order of dry bread.
Hearing that, Ling Yan then took out 5 pieces of silver coins from within his nat ring and gave them to the female servant.
"Here, just keep the rest for you." Said Ling Yan while giving the 5 silver coins and then storing his dried bread inside his grout ring.
"Thank you for your generosity young master." Said the waiter, looking down.
Seeing that, Ling Yan then nodded his head slowly before stepping back his feet out from inside the restaurant.
After that Ling Yan again darted with the science of lightening his body and continued his journey towards the jade grass village.
After 1 hour of travel, Ling Yan who was feeling exhausted now decided to stop and continue his journey tomorrow morning.
*****
In the morning at the Ling clan residence, Ling Yue Yang had just finished preparing a breakfast menu
it seemed to be walking towards Ling Yan's room which was still closed.
"Hahh this kid still hasn't come out of his room yet, surely he's still busy practicing inside." Ling Yue sighed softly before returning away from the front of Ling Yan's room.
Meanwhile, Ling Yan, who was currently sitting under a shady tree, appeared to be eating the dried bread he had bought last night.
"Hmm the taste of dry bread is very different from mother's cooking." Ling Yan muttered as he continued chewing on his dried bread.
Not long after filling his stomach, Ling Yan then resumed his journey towards the jade grass village on foot.
Ling Yan continued to move his legs without turning back at all, but after a long while he walked, Ling Yan's sense of smell suddenly smelled a fishy smell in the air.
"It stinks of blood, although it's hidden, but I can easily sense it." Ling Yan's inner being now turned his face into a serious one.
Ling Yan then circulated a glance around him and sensed that someone else was hiding not far from his place.
"The aura of this killer is so concentrated, but these people are trying to hide it." Inner Ling Yan.
"Hgp." Ling Yan who realized that there were two warriors hiding behind the bushes suddenly pulled one of the knives on his waist and threw it towards the bushes.
"Get out of you, I know this fishy smell because of what you've done." Shouted Ling Yan.
After Ling Yan's shout, shortly afterwards 2 warriors with weapons in their bloodstained hands came out from within the bushes.
One of them was holding an axe and the other was holding a sickle that was stamped on both weapons with fresh blood stains.
"Hehehe you should have pretended not to be aware of our presence earlier." Said one of the two warriors while laughing giggling.
"That's right, if you hadn't told us to come out, then maybe we'd have let you through without killing you." Connect one of them again.
Ling Yan who saw the two coming out from within the bushes was now staring fixedly at the two Swordsmen before him and discovered both of them had the strength of a 2-star diamond swordsman.
"Who are you?" Ling Yan asked who was now pulling the fire blood sword from its sheath and preparing to attack.
"Haha! who are we?, you certainly know about the 2 ruthless robbers in the jade grass village." Answer one of the warriors with a thunderous laugh.
Hearing the swordsman's answer, Ling Yan was shocked and remembered about the 2 robbers who always made a mess and confronted the merchants who usually passed around the jade grass village.
"Hehehe what's the matter young man, are you afraid of us? are you sorry now?" Say one of the two while commenting on his wily smile.
"But there's no point in you regretting it now, because your angel of death is coming soon." Shouted one of the swordsmen as it darted forward attacking Ling Yan with its sickle weapon.
