Swordswoman: The Few Unrecorded Decades - Chapter 55

The night is calm but Emperor Chi Xing’s heart beats wildly! Perhaps, it was his experience in life that had told him that the calmness of the night is not like the ordinary night he had.

“Someone, come!” the Emperor of Chi shouted but no one responded from his call.

He gripped the black object in his hands and with no hesitation, throw it across the room. The object was immediately shattered!

Then two black auras appeared in the direction where the object was broken. They were soul shadows! These are souls who were collected from graveyards and had been turned into a weapon.

“Hihihihi… Alas! I am free.” A creepy voice sounded from the soul shadows direction.

The soul shadows are named after its appearance. They did not possess physical bodies. It is like our shadow but the difference is they can exist without the brightness of a light.

Just as Emperor He Mo forced the door to open, one of the soul shadows immediately enveloped him and started to enter his body. A smirk appears in Emperor Chi Xing’s face while watching his soul shadow’s movement.

Indeed, these soul shadows are greedy! Seeing that there is a chance for them to possess a body, they immediately grabbed it.

The other soul also went to Ye Shin but it suddenly halted few meters away from her. Its figure suddenly twisted and changed its form.

“A soul practitioner!” the soul shadow in front of Ye Shin shrieked before it had vanished without a trace.

Seeing the strange scene, Emperor Chi Xing frowned. He was completely confused of what had happened!

“What did you do?!” He shouted towards Ye Shin but the lady did not pay attention to him.

She looked at the young emperor who seems to have some struggle in his breathing. Ye Shin blinks her eyes twice and soon, the last soul shadow evaporated in the air.

Emperor Chi Xing had felt a sudden fear! Those soul shadows should be enough to protect him! He looked at the two people across his room and asked, “Who are you? What do you want from me?”

With the soul shadows gone, everything should be within Emperor He Mo’s plan. But minutes passed, the young emperor still refused to move an inch! He stood beside Ye Shin with a blank eye and started convulsing!

Emperor Chi Xing who had seen the expression of the young emperor’s eyes quickly felt at ease. He laughed loudly, mirroring the laugh of Emperor Ma Bing. The feeling of fear was replaced with mockery.

Ye Shin did not also noticed that when emperor He Mo was attacked by the soul shadow, the symbol that he had drawn on his wrist gradually faded in his skin.

The ink was not washed out but it would seemed liked his skin had absorbed the symbol!

Or the symbol had entered his body willingly. Either way, Ye Shin and Emperor Chi Xing had never seen this happened.

“Hahaha what a fool! You have actually made a premeditated contract with a devil!” Emperor Chi Xing said. Although he had not seen how the Emperor He Mo got a devil’s crest, but he is too familiar with how a human body reacts when the contract is made!

Indeed, the one that Emperor He Mo had drawn in his skin was no ordinary symbol! It was a devil’s crest!

Devils are composed of various different tribes. Emperor Chi Xing – for him to attain success that he had today, he made an ally with the tribe of greed and deceit.

When the devils pay him a visit, he could only use the pretense and made his guards believe that those who bears the crest are honored guests of the Chi palace.

The symbol of devil’s crests also varies depending on the tribe. Emperor Chi Xing had a symbol of two intertwined python looking on an opposite direction. The snake that is looking at the left is the devil of deceit while the one looking on the right side is the devil of greed.

Most of the crests when the contract is made are usually created from devil’s blood. Who would have thought that the harmless ink that Emperor He Mo used to place the symbol in his skin would also work!

Devil’s blood!

In fact, the spy who reported this symbol to Emperor He Mo a month ago was not an ordinary human! The spy had already been lured and manipulated by a devil himself!

As for what purpose why Emperor He Mo was chosen, only this devil knows!

As the body of Emperor He Mo started to gain consciousness, the real crest of the devil appears on his wrists. The symbol was not a snake, but one with a body similar to a huge basilisk but has a large wing. It was a fat winged dragon!

This is the devil of chaos and savagery!

Such untamed creature had actually chosen to have a contract with a human.

When the eyes of two emperors meet, Emperor Chi Xing felt an extreme blood lust from the man opposite to him!

He then noticed another significant thing that he had disregarded when the two entered his room. The garment that these two people are wearing had a key pattern on its sleeves!

Realization hits hard as soon as he noticed those details!

“You killed my daughter!” Emperor Chi Xing snapped and accused them. His face turned red out of anger.

“No, you have killed my parents!” a cold menacing sound responded.

Emperor Chi Xing was overcome with his emotion, immediately awakened the two devils using its crest.

Two large python appeared in the room. Ye Shin slashed the Spiral Sword but the beast was unharmed.

“A mere human strike is not enough to injure me!” the python surprisingly used human language.

Ye Shin strikes again, this time she concentrated her inner force and spread it in the room. The cold moon essence made the temperature abnormally dropped. Then she send all the tiny blades in the direction of the two pythons.

Under the sudden coldness, the python needs to hibernate. With the thick concentration of Ye Shin’s inner force, the blades had become sharper and successfully wounded the snake.

Meanwhile, Emperor He Mo also deals with Emperor Chi Xing. After few exchange of blows, his sword struck at the vital point of the man. The Chi Emperor died without closing his eyes.

The wounded body of the two pythons also gradually becomes illusory. Its eyes glared at Ye Shin and before it completely disappeared, the python managed to leave a message.

“This is not the last time. When we meet next time, my venom will end a mere ignorant human like you!”

Ye Shin looked at the python with her undisturbed appearance. Then she heard a loud thump beside her.

As she turn her head, Emperor He Mo was already laying on the floor. Unconscious!
