The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 34 - Crescent Kick
The next morning Chuan Gui came to Xin Fai at the boy's request, when he entered the room he could see Lang and Xin Fai were already waiting there.
"Sorry, Sir. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Xin Fai who had just noticed Chuan Gui's arrival saluted him. He invited the old man to sit down.
"Ah, it might be a bit strange to say it but I want the Thousand Feet Army to receive my friend named Lan An."
Chuan Gui who suddenly heard that coming out of Xin Fai's mouth was of course surprised but he could hide it.
Lang woke up from his sleep while addressing Xin Fai in confusion.
"Lan An?"
"Yes... My new friend is here. He doesn't join any sect but has high strength, I'm sure you guys will definitely be amazed to see his strength."
Chuan Gui started putting on an interested face, he stroked his beard trying to make sense of the situation. "Is he as strong as Master Xin Fai?"
"He's stronger than me." Xin Fai said cheerfully, if the Thousand Feet Squad is willing to recruit Lan An it means that he can help Lan An become a strong person in the future.
During this time Lan An had only peeked at training in other sects and studied without guidance like most people, that was certainly the reason for asking Chuan Gui to recruit Lan An as a member of the Thousand Feet Army.
"Is the guy here? I want to meet him." Chuan Gui bluntly.
"Let's go to his house."
Xin Fai stepped without hesitation, the direction to Lan An's house he had already memorized was out of his head. Arriving at Lan An's modest home, Chuan Gui began to feel an oddity.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, this is his house. Don't look at her house, you'll be amazed to see Brother An's true strength."
"Sister An?" Chuan Gui smiled slightly, he did not understand why Xin Fai was so familiar with this figure named Lan An despite only visiting Anguo City for a few days.
Xin Fai who had already lost her entire family naturally regarded Lan An like her own brother.
In fact, despite killing many black warriors, Xin Fai is still a 9-year-old boy who needs a playmate.
"Little sister, who's coming with you?" Lan An who was stretching her body in front of the house was confused.
Seeing Chuan Gui's appearance was certainly not an ordinary person, Lan An was a bit hesitant to make.
"Ah so you're Lan An."
"Yes, Senior."
Xin Fai explained her point to Lan An, of course hearing him she was inexhaustible with Xin Fai's idea.
Lan An had said before that he was not a person from the Shang Empire but Xin Fai still insisted.
"No matter where you come from, it's important that you have the same goals as us. Against evil in the martial world."
Lan An, who was just a brat in a broad-shirt had no more words in front of Chuan Gui. He knew very well, a person like Chuan Gui was an important person.
He himself did not expect Xin Fai to have a relationship with someone like Chuan Gui.
"I have to ask my mom first."
Chuan Gui asked the woman to also join Lan An and work in the Thousand Foot Troop sect. Hearing that, Lan An who initially disagreed could finally accept it, she felt Xin Fai's idea wasn't bad either.
Xin Fai's proposal for Chuan Gui was an order, he would certainly carry out all the child's requests.
Even if you have to bet on life. Because Zhishu Yan had recently sent a reply letter to her and said that they should treat the child well. Given Xin Fai who would later become a figure of legend based on the letter.
"Let's train as usual. May today little brother not come home with defeat again."
"Well of course, I'll have a crab meat party after beating you."
"really?" Lan An raised her eyebrows in disbelief. "We'll see."
They passed through climbs and bushes until they reached a barren forest. It was still early in the morning, Chuan Gui watched from a distance to gauge the ability Lan An would recruit later on.
The first Xin Fai came forward, he had already made up his mind to defeat Lan An. All of Xin Fai's current movement patterns were vastly different from their first practice. From here Lan An could see such a rapid development.
But the longer the movement grew the frown on Lan An's forehead, the more overwhelmed she was to serve him.
"You... You're mimicking my moves?!"
"Hahahaha," Xin Fai let out a big laugh as she turned to her waist. "My father once said that the hardest enemy to face is yourself."
"And you're trying to be me?"
"Well, that's how. With my strength I must have lost to you."
Lan An was inexhaustible with the world inside Xin Fai's head being so beyond belief. Xin Fai did not give him time to think. He put in a streak of attacks and this time managed to repel Lan An.
With a loud breath Lan An said steadily. "All right then. From now on I'll be serious."
The fierce fight started with a very fast tempo, a very fast tempo, movement after movement makes people who see it must be amazed even Chuan Gui whose age is fairly old did not expect there would be two children who fight like adults.
Their strength was almost evenly matched, yet still Lan An was still stronger than Xin Fai.
Xin Fai's wooden slash managed to hit Lan An's waist while his own shoulder was hit hard. They retreat together to take a breath.
"You're growing very fast, little brother. I'm proud of you." Lan An said sincerely, his chest is still up and down due to lack of oxygen.
"Thank you, this is all thanks to you."
"But I can't let you get that book so easily. Let's get all your power out, little brother!" Lan An's words made Xin Fai even more excited. He took a breath and ran quickly while swinging the wood.
The two woods clashed together, Xin Fai retreated quite a distance when he realized the wood was starting to crack as a result of the attack. Just as Lan An was about to attack, suddenly a wolf roar rang out in the forest.
The voice suddenly made Lan An and Chuan Gui turn their eyes into the forest, Xin Fai smiled slantedly considering that the voice came from Lang.
When he turned his head back to the front, Lan An had already guessed Xin Fai would use that time to attack him.
Xin Fai was running fast and at that moment Lan An only realized that the boy was not carrying wood in his grasp. He tried to hold back the pace of Xin Fai's attacks until suddenly his head hit something.
Yoke!
"The Crescent Kick!"
