PRINCE OF DRAGONS
Zudong Forest
***
The journey from Xianyang City to Lanzao City takes at least one month if you walk through the main road, even if you use horses, while if you bring goods, if you have a horse, or walk for at least three months. In order to travel faster to Lanzao City, there are other paths. But the road is quite difficult because it has to cross several rivers through the forest, at least it will be able to arrive within twenty days.
Since it was already night, the five of them stayed on the street after tying their horses to rest, currently the five of them were sitting in front of the fireplace while eating the food they had bought in the village they had passed. "Senior Yu Lang! How much longer are we gonna get to the border?" qian asked one of the Four Immortality Body Brothers named Yu Lang.
"About 5 more days Qian!" replied Yu Lang.
Qian nodded then he took out the gray-colored Pill and threw the Pill at one of them while saying, "This is Senior Zhao Yu's last, after this your arm bone will heal completely, so your abilities are already back at their peak," Qian said.
"Hehehe…! Brother Qian is really very generous, if I had known from the beginning that if you were this kind of sister, I would not have been able to comply with young master Chu Hao's desire to attack you" Zhao Yu said.
"Everything that has passed does not need to be remembered anymore senior," Qian said, smiling warmly.
Yu Lang was the only one most senior of his three fellow-colleagues, he was 35 years old with the ability level of an Expert Soul Peak Swordsman, of course Yu Lang had a lot of experience and knew a lot about every alternative path, therefore he became the leader of the entourage.
The other three brothers were named Zhao Yu, Liu Kang, and Lan Cao. The four of them were students of a former Monk who came out of Fu Zhong Monastery for breaking the rules. After twenty years of living alone in a small hut, the Former Monk picked up starving orphans and took care of them and made them his disciples, and the children he cared for were the four warriors who were currently together with Qian. That is why they have no college and are not tied to anything, people call them Free Flow Swordsmen.
Every night when resting, the five of them would take time to practice for a moment, but not all of them because they would sometimes take turns to keep watch, because they were staying in the wild filled with wild animals.
"Senior Yu Lang! Does Senior know of demons?" qian asked when she finished eating.
"Graffees? Yes I know, I have even met," replied Yu Lang.
"really? Whereabouts? Do demons really have abilities?" ask the curious Qian.
"eeee.. That's why I don't know that!" yu Lang replied while scratching his head.
"Huh!? He said he'd met a demon, but why couldn't he know his abilities?" qian asked with a little wonder.
"Sister Qian! We had actually encountered a hundred-year-old demon, but back then we hadn't reached the Expert Soul Swordsman Class, so the four of us were hiding! At that time we were lucky enough that the demon did not smell our whereabouts so we managed to survive" Lan Cao said.
"If now we meet a Demon, will senior be able to fight it?" ask Qian.
Qian just wanted to make sure whether with Yu Lang's ability as a Peak Soul Swordsman Expert would dare to fight a hundred year old Demon, if it turned out to be unable to, he said, that meant that even Qian would not dare to take the risk to hunt a Demon.
"If I meet again now, I certainly don't dare to face him, but if the four of us join hands, we may still have a chance to win, let alone be added to you, but if you are, I'm sure we can defeat that one hundred-year-old Demon," Yu Lang replied but with a slight uncertainty about his own words.
"Owh..!" Qian only responded with a faint smile after seeing Yu Lang's unconvincing face.
"The battle at the border must be very big, which obviously will be a lot of various great warriors that we will fight, he said, I don't know if I can continue to fight until the end or if I'll fall first, if I fall first, I don't mind, there's only one I regret!"
Qian looked at Liu Kang while asking, "What is that?" tanyakanya.
"I'm not married!" liu Kang replied with a bitter smile.
"Huh!?" Qian could only be stunned by opening her mouth shut yet there was no word she could say.
"I know this is so silly, honestly I also want to have a wife, live with family and have children! But with my condition of living odd lives having no place to live, there can't be a woman who wants to marry me!" said Liu Kang who continued his words.
Qian certainly could not provide a solution to the problem, moreover, he was still very young to think about such things. Unlike the four of them who are already 30 years old and above, even though they are middle-aged, but they still do not have a life partner.
The five of them laughed then continued with funny chats so that Qian's relationship with the four of them became more familiar, from the initially hostile, now a friend even though they were different ages.
In the morning, they resumed their journey with Yu Lang as the leader of the road, For a few days there were no obstacles or problems whatsoever along their journey, and at this time they had entered a forest that was not so big but very quiet.
The five of them continued on their way by racing their horses through the small forest, only the five of them were equally perceiving if anyone was observing them.
Horses that initially ran fast suddenly stopped by lifting the front legs so that the position of the horse is almost standing, lucky they are very strong holding so that they do not fall and the horses began to look agitated.
Both Qian and the others looked around the forest, although they did not see anyone around them, but they could feel an extremely powerful aura of Death directed towards all of them, the aura of Death that made the horses slightly lost control.
"Whoever is here, please don't interrupt our trip! We just want to pass by and not want to look for trouble," Yu Lang said but cautiously.
After Yu Lang finished speaking, there suddenly appeared ten red-clothed figures by leaping over the trees until the ten red-clothed figures were quite close to them. One of the figures stood on the tree while watching the five of them, the gaze of the figure stopped on a young man in blue clothes.
"You may pass through this Zudong Forest, except for that young man!" said the figure.
Qian raised his eyebrows next to the figure pointing towards him, but Qian already knew who they were, of course Qian knew about it from the clothes they were wearing.
"Blood Sword Group! What do you want from me?" ask Qian.
"Blood Sword? They were the Blood Sword group part of those Three Swords?" said Zhao Yu who was surprised after finding out who the ten figures were.
"It is not we who want you, but our Chairman" the figure replied.
"Xan Tiandi..?"
The ten figures were shocked when Qian mentioned the name Xan Tiandi, in the entire Western Mainland no one should know the name of Xan Tiandi except the members of the Three Swords, either, outside it may be just a few people. But now the young man before them also knew the name of their leader.
"Qian, do you have a problem with them?" ask Yu Lang.
"There are actually no seniors, it's just that something caused them to want me," Qian replied but did not mention what they wanted from her.
Qian was sure it had something to do with the Celestial Dragon Book, and Xan Tiandi knew of its existence for sure because the members of the Black Sword informed him, because during the raid on the Palace, Qian had already used his Fire Dragon Sword.
"I understand!" yu Lang said then he noticed the ten figures that were still in the trees saying, "If you want our friend, then you should face us first!" yu Lang replied in a loud voice.
"You dare interfere in our Three Swords' affairs?" the figure looked at Yu Lang with red eyes.
"Three Swords! Maybe I wouldn't dare if the one who said it was the King's Soul Swordsman, but if it was just you..!" Yu Lang unleashed a Death Aura that was no less massive than the figure while saying, "I'm not afraid at all," he said.
"You..!" the figure was clearly shocked after finding out that Yu Lang was also an Expert Soul Peak Swordsman, but after that he laughed as he said, "I don't think that there is an Expert Soul Peak Swordsman here! It's just that you've made a big mistake, "said the figure then the other three figures approached and similarly released their aura of Death.
Yu Lang and all of them were shocked after seeing the four Master Soul Swordsmen, they also felt the remaining six were the Combat Soul Swordsmen.
"One Peak Soul Expert, Three Early Soul Experts, One Peak Fighter, and Five Early Fighters! Impressive, but not enough!"
After Yu Lang said those words, Zhao Yu, Liu Kang, and, and Lan Cao leaped then the three of them both released their Death Auras then they advanced on attacking the four figures of the Expert Soul Swordsman regardless of the shock of the Red Sword members.
