Lord Shadow

‘Who’s there!’

Xi Feng martial Uncle shouted but the only answer that reply him was the silence of the cave and the thunderous roars of the storms that is raging outside

BOOM!

The thunder boomed loudly and Xi Feng Senior Sister and Brother flinched, their hands tightened around their swords.

The wind come inside the cave and the cold now brought fear in their eyes. Could there be Ghost inside this cave?

XI Feng martial Uncle long white beard sways left and right because of the wind. Sweats is slowly appearing on his forehead.

He still felt the numbing sensation on his hand, the vibration of the saber is forcefully calmed by his internal energy.

BOOM!

The sound of thunder cracks the sky and lightning illuminates the entrance behind Xi Feng figure. Right now, his eyes are trained at the entrance of the cave

He is afraid. His eyes might not show it but his heart is honest. Even the way he is wielding his saber is now full of uncertainty.

He almost breaks his wrist trying to counteract that powerful force that deflected his attack.

Xi Feng is not the only one that notice that round pebble.

While his swordsmanship could not be compared to Xi Feng Flowing Swordsmanship, he is after all older than him and have more experience in the martial arts world.

He also notices it and while he did not appear like it, his heart is hammering with nervousness. He swept a glance before trying to see the source of that pebble but he saw no indication of anyone inside the cave.

It also made him even more fearful.

Why?

Because one pebble is enough to force him to move his saber. His saber technique is from the Vulture Peak.

While it is not one of the top saber moves in the martial art worlds, it is not so easily broken.

And at least it would take people on the same level as him to fought him when he is wielding his saber

But whoever uses that round pebble to help XI Feng avoid death must be some peerless expert.

To made his hand numb to this extent, to make his saber vibrate with one pebble of stone……he never heard of such thing.

However, just because he is afraid did not mean his killing intent dissipated with it. He still has that glint of murderousness in his eyes

Xi Feng Senior Brother, Senior Brother Feng Xiao look cautiously and squint his eyes trying to see in the dark.

While he did not see that round pebble his eyes did caught something flying toward the saber when it was about to hack Xi Feng.

He knew that thing was the one that causes his martial uncle saber to be deflected

His hand is on the arms of Xi Feng Senior Sister Xu.

‘Xu Meng, do not worry’ he said as he scans the surrounding. His face is pale like always. Like his martial uncle, he too learns the demonic martial arts of the demonic sect

This is the cause of his pale face and soft skins. His sword that never waver is no wavering.

Like his martial Uncle he is afraid because he did not know what causes it and what that thing is. After all, people always fear the unknown.

Xu Meng on the other hand felt her burn scar itches and she wanted to scratch it.

There is no rhyme or reason to this but she always would have an itch on her scar when there is danger.

And right now she is feeling an uncomfortable itch. Which made her even more worried.

One pebble of stone created this situation of people doing nothing.

For a moment they did not do anything, just standing still, looking around them. Actually even Xi Feng is confused. This abandoned cave…. he remembers seeing it two years ago.

At that time, he was instructing his pupils in martial arts around the foo of the mountain as one of their endurance training and when he was about to go back on the evening, he notices the cave

One of the children try to peek through the vines that is hanging near the boulder. He was also excited to see a cave.

Maybe he would make it a place where he could invite some physician to come and give him a cave to research medicine.

But then he saw the huge boulder and the tight opening, and he decided that it would not be worth it to enter the cave.

Could it be…some reclusive experts living here? He mused

‘Then…. that kick’ he thought to himself.

Back then, when his martial uncle is about to attack him, he did realize that his back of knee was hit by some force that enable him to execute that kick and the subsequent moves but he didn’t think it was a stone.

How much control one had to have own their own strength to make a pebble of stone thrown to the back of his knee felt like a pinch of a mosquito bite?

Xi Feng snorted at himself. He even thought that the kick was because of his involuntary reflex. He thought to highly of himself.

It turns out someone is helping him in the dark. But if this expert wanted to truly help him, why not just come out? Why does he only help him secretly?

And why now?

Xi Feng does hear that martial art experts are all eccentric. He himself knows Old Dragon Li who is an eccentric himself.

He shakes his head. Thinking that he has a helper would dull his will to fight and lower his determination.

He focused back.

Azief looking at this from the gaps of the stone smiles

‘The kid is idiot in swordsmanship, but he had a great will’ Nodding proudly he muttered

‘Sometimes that is enough’

He then took one of the jagged rock and shape it with his finger as it turns into a small smooth round pebble.

Then he watched again.

BOOM!

The thunder boomed again and it brought back all the people in the cave into their senses. Xi Feng take a deep breath.

Then his eyes shine again looking at the three former sect member in the past

He then thought to himself that instead of relying on the unreliable help of some expert that might or might not helping him he is better off trying to think of a way to escape from his predicament.

And if he could not escape it, then he would bring those three people to the Underworld with him

Xi Feng Martial Uncle look around but then after seeing nothing happens, he looks back at Xi Feng

His eyes are complicated and there is doubt in his movement. Azief look at this change of stance and manner and he smiles a bit.

‘Adaptable, but too cowardly’ he muttered under his breath looking at Xi Feng martial Uncle.

On the other hand, XI Feng martial uncle is now trying to convince himself that there is no ghost or some peerless expert in the cave.

He thought to himself that maybe what happened just then was just a freak accident.

Then when he was trying to calm his heart, Xi Feng saw his chance. Azief looking at this click his tongue

‘Still too impatient’

His martial Uncle while he was distracted, it did not mean he had put down his guard.

He notices Xi Feng was about to attack him and his eyes turns fierce. For a moment, he need to kill this sole witness of his evil deeds.

He raises his saber and shakes it for a second, dispelling the vibration force of the previous attack. The space around him distorts a bit.

He uses his saber and without hesitation he throws a powerful chopping attack as the wind howl around the energy stream of his saber.

Xi Feng dodged to the side and he just barely missed the attack. It nearly cut his arm with that one chop.
