Chapter 84: Wind Swordsman & Demon-sealing Sword Soul

Late at night, the rain was falling heavily.

The air around the campfire was filled with the smell of smoke and fire, making people feel depressing.

Riven's eyes occasionally swept across the faces of the soldiers sitting around.

Some of them had solemn expressions, some were sighing with sorrow, and some were staring blankly at the night sky.
A young soldier sat in the corner, his eyes empty and mechanical. He gently shook the military canteen in his hand, and the liquid inside made a faint rustling sound.

Riven walked over and patted his shoulder gently, "Don't be too nervous."

Unlike the solemn and murderous voice on the battlefield, her voice was very gentle at this moment. "My soldiers and I will protect you."

"Do your best, sir."

The soldier glanced at her, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes.

Riven frowned slightly, this look made her very uncomfortable.

For some reason, the strange atmosphere in the army made her feel uneasy.

She returned to her seat and cast her eyes toward the nearby carriage, which was filled with amphorae marked with danger.

"What's inside?"

To be honest, she couldn't figure out what role these seemingly ordinary pottery jars could play on the battlefield.

But then she thought again, her mission was just to escort, and she was too lazy to think about these unnecessary things.

Feeling a little sleepy.

She leaned against a crooked tree, her eyelids slowly drooping, waiting for the night rain to stop.

However, things did not go as planned.

The rain is getting heavier.

Just half an hour.

There were strong winds and heavy rain in the mountains.

The whole valley was in turmoil.

Suddenly, the soil and rocks on the mountain began to loosen, and a mudslide poured down like an out-of-control beast.

The garrisoned soldiers were alarmed by this sudden change, and their chaotic shouting broke the tranquility of the rainy night.

Riven was quickly awakened.

Seeing the chaotic scene in front of her, she immediately organized the soldiers to take action and tried to surround the carriage in the middle to prevent it from being washed away by the mudslide.

Just as they were trying to stabilize their position, several flashes of fire suddenly flashed across the top of the mountain.

Followed by.

Ionian soldiers appeared like ghosts in the rain, and bows, spears, arrows and projectiles fell like raindrops.

The Noxian soldiers were caught off guard and had no chance to resist before they were shot into pieces by the arrows. The entire battlefield was dyed red with blood.

Riven waved the rune blade in her hand, trying to resist the tide of attacks.

But faced with the dense rain of arrows and spears, she felt powerless because she could not protect the other soldiers at all.

In desperation, she shouted to the logistics officer stationed in the rear:
"Imistan!!"

She urgently requested help.

However, in response to her
There was only the sound of the whistling wind and a burning, ruthless arrow.

The arrow flew from the distant mountain ridge, cut through the night sky, and accurately hit the pottery jar in the carriage.

See this scene.

Riven's pupils trembled.

And at this moment, she completely understood!

That's it.

The first chapter ends.

"What do you understand?"

"Yeah, why does it end here? What did Riven understand?"

"Wait, Alchemist, the dangerous pottery jar is not explosives?"

"Ah? How is this possible? If it's explosives, why don't you even want your own soldiers?"

"Perhaps, the logistics unit was secretly killed by the Ionian soldiers, so Riven's call for help will be a burning arrow from the enemy."

"It's very confusing. I think we need to wait for the subsequent plot to come out before we can answer this question."

After the big screen went black, it flickered again, and several new lines of text slowly emerged.

[Death is like the wind, always with me. 】

[——Swift Swordsman]

[One sword kills evil, one sword calms the soul.] [——Demon Sealing Sword Soul]

"Wow! New character?"

"Swordsman? Sword Spirit? So cool?!"

"The lines sound even cooler!"

"Death is like the wind, always by my side. One sword kills evil, one sword calms the soul."

"I can tell from the sound of it that he is an extremely awesome master, especially the latter part, which is so awesome."

"Wow, this is incredible! There are actually three protagonists this time, and they are all sword cultivators."

"No wonder it took me a day and a half to write this time. The plot must have been full."

“I am really looking forward to their appearance!!”

【II.Brothers】

"Ionia."

"In an ordinary village, two half-brothers were born one after another."

"The elder one is named Yongen."

"The younger one is named Yasuo."

"Yasuo is arrogant, impulsive, and reckless, while Yone is the exact opposite: calm, patient, and disciplined."

"When he was a child, Yasuo often believed what the villagers said about him—"

"When it sounds good, his birth was an error in judgment."

"When it's not nice, he's a mistake that can never be undone."

"Like so much of the suffering in this world, there is some truth hidden in these words."

"His mother was originally a widow who raised her only son, but one day in the golden autumn breeze, she welcomed a new man, that is—"

"Yasuo's father."

"But it didn't take long."

"This man who should have been a father quietly left the family for unknown reasons."

"Like sand that cannot be grasped, turn away from them."

"Perhaps because of the brotherly love, in this family without a father figure, the older Yongen consciously took on the responsibility of a father."

"He worked hard to mature himself and become a respectful, cautious and self-aware person."

“And finally, he did it.”

“Whenever Yasuo was ridiculed for not having a father, he would always step up to protect him, encourage him, and enlighten him.”

“Although they are not blood relatives, Yasuo relies on Yongen’s deep friendship.”

“They were always close, and Yasuo loved sticking with his brother.”

"This brother's maturity and stability brought a different kind of color to Yasuo's childhood."

“Thus, Yasuo spent his childhood under the care of his mother and Yongen.”

"Hey, brother? Could it be that..."

"It seems to be correct, the future Gale Swordsman and the Demon Sealing Sword Soul, no wonder Master Su wants to write about them together."

"I thought the first two were at the highest level, but it's also good to start from childhood. Their growth experience should be very interesting."

"They have the same mother and different fathers, but they are not biological brothers. However, they can get along so well. It's really rare!"

"It's all thanks to Yongen's maturity and understanding. His character is very likable."

"Then the question is, who is the swordsman and who is the sword spirit?"

"The swordsman must be Yongen. He values ​​friendship so much, so he must be very righteous."

"Nonsense, Yongen is obviously the introverted type, how could he show off his heroic spirit? On the contrary, Yasuo's personality makes it possible."

“Perhaps, the answer will be revealed soon.”

"As they get older."

"Yong En knows that in this treacherous world, only by constantly improving his own strength can he better protect his family."

"In order to improve his martial arts, he decided to study at the village's famous swordsmanship dojo."

"And the news reached Yasuo."

"The brother who has protected him since he was a child is about to leave him, so he should learn swordsmanship."

"This made him, who had always been conceited since childhood, immediately unhappy."

"So, after some persistent pestering, he followed."
