The mysterious Youth Who Almost Died

The very next day Yang Cheng En is wandering the streets of Spring City, his sword scabbards glistens under the sun rays.

"Obtaining stage, obtaining stage. "Sigh~ Yang Cheng En thought to himself "Where do I even start?"

"Looks like I can only ask Chen San Ming or Lan Long for pointers." Yang Cheng En said to himself while walking on the street.

"HELP M.....MMF...MFFF...!" a shout can be heard coming from the alley. Yang Cheng En look into that direction and said, "How dares to do crime in this part of the city? "This street is the street which Yang Cheng En and Tang Le pass through yesterday and is heavily guarded because it's the main road to the city hall.

Yang Cheng En walks into the alleyway and saw two men beating up a youth around 15 to 16 years old and then taking out their sword preparing to kill the youth.

The youth tried to use this chance to escape but he was slashed on the back and fall to the ground in pain.

"Stop it." the two men stop and look at who was foolish enough to try to stop them from doing their job, they look at the direction from where the voice comes from and ask "who are you?"

"Let's go kill him boss." one of the men said while smiling Yang Cheng En draw his sword and run forward toward the thug the thug look at Yang Cheng En who was rushing at him in contempt and ask. "I hope the city lord would not mind a little wound on you." and he hacks down his saber at Yang Cheng En.

"Tyrant Dragon Flying Within The Clouds." Yang Cheng En shot to the direction of the wall of the alley and then use the wall as a support to kick at the thug. The thug was caught off guard and was kicked in the face.

"ARGGH!"

The thug falls down to the ground while Yang Cheng En held his sword high to the sky. "Please have mercy on me." the thug begs for his life on the ground.

"SHOUH"

The thug closes his eyes but did not feel any pain he open his eyes and saw a kick coming at him again and he was knocked out cold. The other thug stares at Yang Cheng En and said: "done?"

As soon as the thug has done talking he charge at Yang Cheng En and the two started a fight, "Tyrant Dragon Flying Within The Clouds" Yang Cheng En use the same tactic again but this time the thug caught his leg and swing him around and then the thug release his grip and Yang Cheng En has been sent flying into the ground.

The thug walks up to him and grabs his robe and said "You will pay for what you do to my friend over there. "But Yang Cheng En interrupts him but pointing his finger at the direction of the street.

"Yea, I'm done with you but they're not. "The thug look at the direction of Yang Cheng En finger and see two patrol guards running towards the alleyway. The thug throws him to the ground and pointed his finger at the other youth and said "you are lucky this time" and run off alone into the busy street leaving his friend behind.

"SHOUH"

A kick hit the fleeing thug back and he was knockdown, the thug turned around and was greeted with a punch, he was hit in the face he lost his balance and was grabbed by the robe, and once again he was punched in the stomach.

The thug catch the opening and slam his fist on Yang Cheng En back, when Yang Cheng En was falling he grab the thug's legs and pull it back, by using the thug weight against him the thug also fall down instead Yang Cheng En use the weight to stand back up and follow up with a stomp, the thug roll away from the stomp.

The thug move behind Yang Cheng En, Yang Cheng En hastily turn behind to guard but was greeted with a handful of sand to his face. He manages to guard the sand but a strong kick hit his neck and he started to spin in midair the thug use this chance to run away.

"PAK"

The thug was hit with a greater force at his kidney. "Didn't you learn anything just now when you fall down? If you got hit by an opponent use his force against him like this! "Yang Cheng En used the spinning force form the thug kick to boost his own.

But in the end, he still falls down to the ground and the thug got away.

"Young master are you alright? We see your sword stab into the wall of the shop outside the alley so we come to have a closer look then we notice you are in trouble so we rush to help. "One of the two patrol guards said respectfully. Then the two guards tie up the thug who got knock out and bring him away. "WAIT!" Yang Cheng En grabs the thug saber and hangs it on his waist.

"Thanks for the help, now you can go. "Yang Cheng En said while smiling and waving goodbye to them then he turns around and looks at the youth who got beat up, he reaches out his hand to the youth with a smile and said, "well you know my name already so nice meeting you, you okay?"

"Yes, I am fine, thanks to you saving me just now. "The youth got up and pat his clothes to remove the dirt on them then he said, "Friend let me treat you to a cup of wine to show my thanks for saving me."

Yang Cheng En just turns around and left he waves his hand and said three words "I don't drink."

The youth was so shocked until his speechless that he had just rejected his offer so casually, he then got back to his wits and chase after him while shouting. "HOW BOUT A MEAL?!" Yang Cheng En turns around with a grin on his face and said: "that's more like it."

The both of them walk towards a restaurant in the city called Spring Garden; a female waiter wearing red robe greeted them and the both of them when she sees them. "Is the second floor open? "The youth ask the female waiter. "I'm sorry but the second floor is only open for the upper-class of the city."

When the youth was reaching into his pocket to take a token out Yang Cheng En step forward and said "Do I count ?" while showing a golden token with a carving of his name and a symbol of spring city.

The female waiter bow down respectfully and lead the both of them to the second floor, "Wow! The view here is amazing! "The youth exclaimed, the both of them sit down and order their food.

"My name is Wang Xin Xing thanks again for saving my life." Wang Xin Xing said, "So why do the thugs tried to kill you? "Yang Cheng asks in a curious manner because those thugs usually rob and beat up people but they would not do something like murder.

"I only bumped into one of them while walking and they suddenly dragged me into the alley and beat me up as for the rest of the story you knew already. "Wang Xin Xing said with while looking at Yang Cheng En who is looking at his new saber while listening to Wang Xin Xing.

"Sigh~ now is my turn to question you how did you attract the patrolmen attention back at the alley? "Yang Cheng En moves his eyes away from the saber and stares at Wang Xin Xing for a bit then said, "You did not notice?"

Wang Xin Xing just sighs and thought to himself "This guy....does he thinks I'm a god that knows everything?" but reply with a simple answer "No."

"It's quite easy actually when I saw the thug close his eyes I throw my sword out of the alley and it stabbed into a wall." then he unsheathes his sword and points it at Wang Xin Xing. "Its call Wandering night and its forge by some forger erhmm what's his name again, arggh~! All you need to know are the patrolmen can recognize this sword so they would come."

Wang Xin Xing just stares at the sword and once again thought to himself "It's a sword forged by the great forger Tie Ke and he did not even remember its forger name? Many would kill to have a weapon forged by him and he can casually throw it like that, is he an idiot?"

"That is a good sword do you look more interested in that low-quality saber?" Wang Xin Xing asks again to learn more about him.

"Once I saw a man using a saber, his moves aren't flashy but each hack each slash felt like it can split mountains, stop waterfalls from flowing and destroy everything in its path, so from that day on I wanted to use a saber so I can hack all my enemies and protect the ones I cared about with one attack just like him on that day."

Yang Cheng En stare blankly at the view outside the restaurant reminisce about that day, "Foods here

Please enjoy! "The waiter put the plates of food on their table and the left them alone to enjoy their meal.

"Thanks for the meal. "Yang Cheng En stands up from his seat and left the restaurant.

"Interesting, never thought that is somebody can be so shameless, ignorant and childish yet his decision-making skills and bravery is top notch using the walls and his body instead of his sword in a tight space so he can abuse more opening and the way his use his opponents force against him is quite smart truly amazing. "Wang Xin Xing said in awe

"He is the son of the city lord a noble but why he did not recognize my lord?" An old man sits beside Wang Xin Xing said.

"Lao Jiang he did not even remembers that his sword is forged by the great forger Tie Ke how can he recognize the sixth prince of the royal court? "Wang Xin Xing said sullenly.

"My lord we did come here secretly so please does not be disappointed."Lao Jiang said respectfully.

"Hai~What a great talent I found today I hope one day I can get him to work for eldest brother, Lao Jiang we will leave tonight lets go prepare. "Wang Xin Xing stands up and leaves the restaurant with Lao Jiang.

On the street, Yang Cheng En is also thinking about Wang Xin Xing identity. "Just who is he? Those thugs would not be so brave to commit murder at that street; there must be somebody else behind this but whom?"

"Who would be so powerful and rich to force two spineless thugs to commit murder and in that fashion, that person is also using the thugs as scapegoats Wang Xin Xing Just who are you that people need to do pull this type of scheme?"

A few hours after that incident Wang Xin Xing has left spring city and something else is coming something disastrous is coming near the city.
