LEGEND OF THE ETERNAL FLAME WARRIOR
Episode 97's. The Mysterious Straw Hat Swordsman
"Hey, are you looking for me?" Shouted Ling Yan who was standing on a tree branch not far from where he was.
Hearing that, the seven swordsmen who were ganged at Ling Yan instantly turned their attention to the source of the voice and found Ling Yan who was standing casually on a branch of a tree that was not too tall.
And as they simultaneously looked towards Ling Yan, Ling Yan's extremely sharp eyes as well as the aura of the fighter and also the murderous aura he had suddenly caused them all to pour cold sweat.
"Ba how could he still be able to dodge my attack, isn't his inner power already depleted?" Asked the swordsman who had attacked Ling Yan with a facial expression that was currently becoming a little pale.
Ling Yan looked at the seven warriors below and found that they were all warriors from the white stream.
"I'm actually confused with you, you are warriors of the white school, but your nature is as voracious as that of the greedy black warrior." Said Ling Yan who could be clearly heard by the seven warriors.
Ling Yan then leaped down while grasping the fire blood sword in his hand then walked closer towards the seven swordsmen.
Anxiety mixed with fear now controlled the minds of the seven warriors, eager to feel they went and left the place as soon as possible, however, the aura of the fighter Ling Yan possessed made their legs unable to be moved and only seemed to tremble at the place where they stood.
Without a second thought Ling Yan then moved swinging his sword attack towards his seventh opponent. It only took 3 simple moves for Ling Yan to finish them off in an instant before Ling Yan let out a heavy sigh while facing his face upwards after defeating all of his opponents earlier.
"Well, I really don't want to do any of this, but I'm forced to do it to protect my little friend." Ling Yan now looked back at Xiao Hu who was sleeping inside his clothes.
"Hahaha Xiao Hu, he could have fallen asleep while I was fighting earlier." Ling laughed softly before finally the laughter he was doing ended when the voice of a man shocked him.
"You have great strength and ability, young man." The words managed to make Ling Yan flinch and instantly turned his gaze to where the voice came from.
Ling Yan now found a swordsman in a straw hat leaning casually under the tree while crossing his hands on his chest.
In one look, Ling Yan was instantly able to recognize that swordsman who was none other than the same person he was at the restaurant earlier.
"Who exactly is this swordsman, I don't even realize when he's coming." Ling Yan looked fixedly at the swordsman full of probing.
In addition to the man's familiar stature, a purple-gloved sword on the swordsman's back also managed to steal Ling Yan's attention.
"The sword was at least of about the same quality as the blood fire sword, but it seemed like it was a better level." Thought Ling Yan.
But his mind was instantly dissolved when the eternal flames resuscitated him. "Foolish boy you should be careful, from what I see, this man is at least a holy swordsman." The eternal flame.
Hearing the words Eternal Flame within his body, Ling Yan suddenly put on a wary face while holding the hilt of his sword.
"Who are you, what do you want." Ling Yan asked with a slightly high tone.
The short-sighted swordsman slightly raised his head and looked at Ling Yan with a flat face. "I just want to warn you to guard the three spiritual fire cores that you have, and also."
After saying that the swordsman in the straw hat immediately turned his body and left from there. But not enough 10 steps he walked.
"Beware young man, for it seems that you will be the target of many." Speak to the warrior before finally walking away. There was a slight faint smile engraved on the face of the swordsman.
Meanwhile, Ling Yan who heard the man's words could only be fixated while staring at the swordsman's back which was slowly moving away, he slightly breathed a sigh of relief as that person had no intention of him whatsoever.
After the swordsman's back was not seen anymore, Ling Yan then sat down limp while exhaling his heavy breath.
"Well, it's almost a good thing that person isn't a bad person." Said Ling Yan.
"Hmp you're lucky boy, if only he had the same intent on this beast, maybe you wouldn't have been able to survive the three attacks he had, other than that sword on his back, maybe you wouldn't have been able to survive the three attacks he had, other than that sword on his back, I could feel the sword had such powerful strength as well as a sword spirit that was so powerful." The eternal flame.
Ling Yan was only silent and did not refute the statement of eternal flame because what he said was indeed true.
But after his encounter with the man in the straw hat, a question now arose in his head. "Maybe you will come to me to take away what will be your right." said the man now ringing in Ling Yan's head.
"What the swordsman meant, I don't understand at all." Ling Yan seemed to be scratching his head which was not itchy while thinking about the man's words.
"Well, I better get out of this place, but before that.." Ling Yan then took out a mask and also a black robe from within his nat ring and immediately put it on.
"This way no one will recognize me." After changing appearance and cleaning up all the corpses around him, Ling Yan then walked away from the place and returned to Bufeng city.
*****
Inside a dark inn room, Ling Yan was sitting cross-legged while closing his eyes, just like before, Ling Yan was currently searching for small meridian points on his body.
After a while, Ling Yan finally opened his eyes and smiled wryly as he did not manage to find 1 small meridian point during his practice earlier.
"It turns out that even though I used this meridian-connecting technique, I still had trouble finding the location of my small meridians, maybe I should purify my soul power first in order to rise to the level of a soul swordsman considering that there are currently a lot of people who are after me."
Ling Yan then recalled the moment he found the poster of his face when he had just entered the city of Bufeng this afternoon. "even when I just arrived in town, posters of my face were stuck everywhere, somehow they could paint and recognize my face that fast." Thought Ling Yan.
Without a second thought Ling Yan then took out the four soul refining pills he had obtained from Gu Xingyi earlier, and without a second thought Ling Yan swallowed one of the pills and began to absorb its properties.
