It's basically useless!
Upon hearing this, the second brother suddenly spoke up:
"Boss, do you think if we take this Flowing Silver Sword back, is it possible to get some resources from that person?"
I remember that some of Ittosai's disciples are still alive, and they even wield some influence!
Upon hearing this, the leader seemed to be thinking for a moment, then finally nodded and said:
"Alright, then I'll do as you say. Taking this Flowing Silver Sword back should bring some benefits."
Moreover, after this search is over, the two of us will officially return to our country.
There's no need to live here anymore.
Honestly, we might not have a good life after we go back.
However, if I could use this sword to exchange for a better life, that would be pretty good!
"Hehe, boss, that's what I think too!"
"Okay! Second brother, take the sword, let's go deeper and see if we can find anything else!"
....................................
Soon, after the footsteps faded into the distance, Chen Xiaobian arrived in front of the skeleton.
Looking at the tattered yet somewhat familiar clothes before him, a cold glint flashed in Chen Xiao's eyes.
"As expected, it really is the Japanese soldiers' clothes."
Judging from this situation, these two guys are pure spies, and moreover, they're in search of that demonic sword.
Judging from the appearance, that demonic sword must be very important to them.
Moreover, from those scattered words, it was still possible to discern that these two had someone above them.
Moreover, they are lurking outside the pass, but their exact location is unknown.
However, that's not important anymore.
These two must not be allowed to leave here alive.
Moreover, judging from their previous remarks, this place has already employed quite a few people.
They also sent many people to search for them. If these two die here, it probably won't cause too much trouble!
"Heh, it seems fate has decreed that you two die here!"
After saying that, Chen Xiao quickly walked in the direction they had gone.
Soon, Chen Xiao arrived at a fork in the road.
However, there were two footprints here. Chen Xiao's ears twitched slightly, and he immediately heard the noise coming from inside.
"So, they've split up?"
At this moment, a glint flashed in Chen Xiao's eyes, and he thought to himself:
"Hehe, it seems your time to die has come! In a place like this with its many thoroughfares, if you're not careful and get away, it'll be really hard to find you."
But once we're separated, things will be much easier—we can kill them one by one!
After saying that, Chen Xiao randomly chose a direction and strode in.
Soon, they saw a young man carrying a knife in the distance.
The man looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old; he was the same second brother from before.
This person was also a cultivator, and could be considered to have sharp hearing and eyesight.
After Chen Xiao stopped trying to hide it, he was quickly discovered.
"Huh? Where did this little kid come from? Little kid, what are you doing here?"
The second brother looked at Chen Xiao with wariness in his eyes, but Chen Xiao simply smiled and said:
"Heh, and who are you?"
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in the second brother's eyes, and he immediately said:
"I came to the mountains to climb, and I accidentally fell into this place. However, it's too chaotic here, and the paths are all interconnected."
I can't find the exit, so here I am, looking for it!
"And you... are you a villager from nearby, here to gather medicinal herbs?"
Looking at the basket on Chen Xiao's back, the second brother said with a smile.
After all, in his eyes, the person in front of him was just a child who didn't have much ability at all!
However, upon hearing this, Chen Xiao smiled and casually placed his basket on the ground beside him. Immediately, the second brother was certain that the child in front of him was a herb gatherer.
However, in his opinion, there must be an adult behind this child; otherwise, they would never have allowed an eleven or twelve-year-old child to come here.
However, at that moment, the second son spoke up: "Where are your parents? Haven't they come over yet?"
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said:
"Sir, what sir! I'm not here to gather herbs, I'm here to send you to hell, you little devil!"
Upon hearing this, the second brother's expression changed, and he was about to make a move. However, at that moment, Chen Xiao made his move.
The Twelve-Road Tan Leg technique erupted, and in an instant, a terrifying burst of power erupted from Chen Xiao's calves.
In just a moment, Chen Xiao appeared in front of the second brother.
Just then, upon seeing Chen Xiao suddenly appear, the second brother's expression changed drastically.
But at that moment, Chen Xiao made his move.
The Twelfth Path Tan Leg was unleashed in an instant, the legs landing directly on the knees of the second brother who hadn't even had time to react.
"Crack...knock..."
However, before the second brother could even utter a sound, Chen Xiao's right hand shot out instantly, three fingers together, and swiftly pressed against the second brother's throat.
"Click..."
In an instant, the second brother didn't even manage to utter a complete sound.
In an instant, his throat was shattered.
Under Chen Xiao's icy gaze, the second brother clutched his neck and rolled on the ground until he was completely lifeless.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao let out a long sigh of relief.
"Phew... As expected, he was prepared to take advantage of the unprepared, and with me being just a little kid, I'm even stronger than him."
In a split second, before he could react, I killed him with ease!
After saying that, Chen Xiao immediately activated his supernatural power, and the Purple Gold Gourd appeared.
"Come in! I want to see what I can gain from absorbing the corpses of these superhumans!"
As soon as the second brother's body entered the purple-gold gourd, it was continuously melted by the power inside.
Finally, three essences appeared in front of Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao looked at the contents of the purple-gold gourd and said in a low voice:
"This red essence, and the bluish-white essence, should primarily enhance blood and qi."
And this dark black thing, could it be the essence refined from that guy's soul?
It can be used to enhance the essence of the soul!
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao's eyes gleamed.
"Hehe! Looks like we really hit the jackpot this time!"
After saying that, Chen Xiao casually picked up the knife, threw it into his basket, and headed in another direction.
At this point, Chen Xiao, having resolved that problem, was already preparing to kill another Japanese soldier.
Chapter 9: Chen Xiao's Discovery, and the Skeletons of Another Cave!
After exiting the cave tunnel, Chen Xiao went straight to the other side without any hesitation.
Following the path and looking at the footprints, Chen Xiao hurried along and caught up.
More than ten minutes later, Chen Xiao still hadn't reached the end of the road. In fact, he saw quite a few forks in the road along the way.
However, here, Chen Xiao was looking at the Japanese soldier's footprints, so he didn't lose track of him. Instead, he followed the footprints and found his way back.
More than ten minutes later, Chen Xiao finally arrived at a place.
Looking at a relatively large underground cave not far away, Chen Xiao suddenly stopped after arriving there.
At this moment, Chen Xiao felt increasingly wary.
"No, there's a problem, a big problem."
This little Japanese devil shouldn't have gone this far; it took me a full half hour to get there.
Moreover, I had just increased my speed to a very high level.
Shouldn't the person searching for the demon sword Hirumaru be searching slowly?
But that's clearly not the case; it's more like being watched and constantly running away, even trying to hide!
As he said this, a glint appeared in Chen Xiao's eyes.
Immediately, Chen Xiao circulated his internal energy, channeling his innate Qi towards his eyes.
Soon, his eyes turned purple-gold.
Chen Xiao's skin, on the other hand, faintly shimmered with a purplish-gold light, as if it had a metallic texture.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao took a deep breath and then looked down at the cave entrance.
Chen Xiao sneered, then walked over.
However, at that moment, suddenly, three dark figures rushed straight towards Chen Xiao.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Upon hearing this sound, Chen Xiao immediately activated the Twelve-Road Tan Leg technique.
In an instant, he sprang up like a monkey, throwing the pebbles in his hand.
"Swish swish... swish swish..."
However, at that moment, a scream rang out, and Chen Xiao landed, looking at the three shurikens beside him that were shimmering with a faint blue light.
Then, his gaze turned to the direction from which the scream had come.
The leader was covering one eye, blood flowing continuously from between his fingers.
"You...who are you?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao calmly replied:
"Hehe, I am... a Chinese!"
Upon hearing this, the leader was clearly taken aback, but then a fierce glint appeared on his face.
"So, that idiot second brother died at your hands, didn't he?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow and said:
"Hmm? You actually know that? Interesting, really interesting. You actually know about this."
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case; I haven't found any trace of you.
Although you two are not far apart, the soundproofing of this stone wall should be quite good.
Moreover, when I made my move, I was confident that the guy wouldn't have made any noise at all.
You actually knew he was dead?
Upon hearing this, the leader had already used a tattered cloth to cover the left eye that Chen Xiao had blinded.
"Hehe! As expected, you're just a child. Your Chinese sects have countless secret techniques."
We in Japan also have many such methods, and they possess quite a few secret ways of transmitting messages.
