The Cursed One : The Darkside of The World

The Unfinished Fight

Two of Guangu's men attacking the young swordsman again using the knives. The young swordsman keeps calm and doesn't seem scared at all. He manages to dodge every attacks of the two men without being grazed even for a bit. Guangu giving code to his two other men to help their friends to attack the young swordsman. Four men now attacking from all directions with knives.

The young swordsman has to be more cautious as the four of the attackers are skilled enough. But, he still does not think if he must draw his swords. He keeps evading without seemed to get difficulty at all. The crowds started to yell and supporting the young and handsome swordsman.

Hearing the crowds, especially the ladies, who are crazy and frenzy to the young swordsman, the four attackers become angry. Their attacks sharpen as they were intended to kill now, not only to defeat the young swordsman. 

The young swordsman's ability is no joke, he able to read his attacker's movements and intention to kill. He starts to be serious about them. All of the attackers stabbing from all directions. He suddenly disappeared and the four attackers stabbings the empty air. He reappears again by standing on top of the head of one of the attackers.

The crowds getting crazy after witnessing the magnificent ability of the young swordsmen and he seems to enjoy it. In contrast with the young swordsman, all Guangu's men feels irritated by the situation and starts to attack blindly. They s***h their knives at the young man who still stands on top of the head of his friends.

The young swordsman blink and appears again in front of Guangu. "Would you stop this nonsense?" The young swordsman asked Guangu.

All Guangu's men want to attacks again and runs towards the young swordsman but Guangu raises his hand and all of his men stop advancing forward.

"Who are you, young man? Not many martial artists that able to reach that level at a young age." Guangu asked as he starts to acknowledge the young swordsman's skills.

"As far as I understand, before asking someone's identity, you have to introduce yourself first. Unless you are a barbaric man that is not bound by any rule." The Young Swordsman replied.

Although becomes a mercenary, Guangu is still a martial artist that obeying the rules of the martial arts world. "My name is Guangu of the Baek Mountain sect. Now, tell me your name." Guangu introduced himself as requested by the handsome swordsman.

"Very well. I am Kang Ling of the Red Dragon sect, waiting for an advice from you." The young and handsome swordsman's name is Kang Ling.

Both of them are surprised as their opponent is coming from one of the greatest sects in the land. Guangu stares at Kang Ling, he ever heard a rumor of a genius boy who was born once in a hundred years that able to mastering the Red Dragon's high techniques at a very young age and they called him 'the descendant of the phoenix'. Although he doesn't sure if the one who stands in front of him is the rumored one or not, he still acknowledges the skills of the young man.

"If you are badly asking for a lesson, I will teach you the lessons that you will never learn inside the sect." Guangu said. He raises the big weapon that he brought.

Both Guangu and Kang Ling prepared their stance and were ready to attack. None of them are underestimating their opponents. The fight seems unavoidable as no one dared to interfere in the fight.

"Fweet... Fweet..." The continuous sound of the whistle is heard and makes every one of the spectators step aside and clearing the road.

Dozens of Ajwa City Guard rushed to the fighting location. "Who dared to make a commotion in my city?!" Kamcik, the vice commander of the Ajwa City guards has arrived with dozens of his men. Although he looks young, Kamcik's age is over 50 years old. Both Kang Ling and Guangu stand still and don't make any move after the arrival of Ajwa City Guards.

"So, it is you, Guangu. Don't you have any other business rather than lurking around and creating problems for me?" Kamcik asked Guangu.

"We just chit-chatting, Sir. No big deal." Guangu tries to evade.

"How will you explain those two fainted men of yours?" Kamcik was not an easy man to be fooled.

"They just tripped and fall by themselves." Again, Guangu fabricated the story.

Kamcik doesn't believe Guangu's words just like that, he intends to ask the young swordsman. "Hey, what's your name?" Kamcik asked Kang Ling.

"I am Kang Ling, Sir." Kang Ling said while clenching his fist.

"You have good manners, young man," Kamcik praises Kang Ling. "Is it true, what he said before?" Kamcik asked.

"Yes, Sir. We just talking, nothing more." Kang Ling doesn't want to prolong his problem with Guangu and his men.

"Okay then. Everyone leave now! No more to see." Kamcik asks the crowds to leave the place.

Everyone starts to leave the fighting arena, most of them still talking about the magnificent skill of Kang Ling, especially the ladies. Kang Ling becomes the new Idol in this town. As for Guangu, he asks his men to leave the place and carrying the fainted one. Meanwhile, Kang Ling returns to the tavern to meet the owner, he wants to pay for the losses, again. The young waiter and the tavern owner stare at Kang Ling who walks slowly inside the tavern and sits on the chair.

"Young master, is there anything you want?" Ho Hua asked Kang Ling.

Actually, Ho Hua intends to close his tavern today as he feels if today is a bad day for his business, he afraid if he will get more losses if he keeps forcing himself to open his food shop. But, he doesn't dare to ask Kang Ling to go after seeing Kang Ling's ability.

"I already ordered a menu, please bring that to me." Kang Ling said. He still wants to eat at the tavern, even he now enjoys it as the tavern is empty and no one will disturb his lunch, again.

Ho Hua gives a code to his young waiter to prepare the foods that Kang Ling ordered and the young waiter goes to the kitchen and coming back in no time as the food is actually has been prepared by the chef behind. 

The chef was too busy to know that everyone has left the tavern and keep cooking the foods. He only knows when the young waiter told him and he is shocked to see the tavern that looks like the ship wreckage. Many tables chairs and foods are scattered all over the place. Now, he stops cooking and start helping to clean up the tavern.
