158 Getting one's hands dirty

'Agent number 34871, it is my identity my name I have long since forgotten my real name my birth name I do not even remember the fact if I had one just this number is my true identity, all I remember being brought into 'Wojownik Cienia' by my master when I was but a child since then I and my brethren were raised as an effective member of Wojownik Cienia' ,we no longer have any name no longer have any face all we exist is to serve our one true leader her Highness Shamiran, few years ago I was granted the name 'Jeden', and I was tasked to keep an eye on the young prince and keep him out of any harm which I did along with my fellow comrades and now again after many years under the name of 'Cztery', I was tasked to do the same, the seven year old child who was clueless and afraid to hurt anyone but had great potential and the only way to do so was under the influence Her Highness's elder sister yet his performance was marvelous a couple of years ago there was a rumor that something bad had happened to him but today I witness with my own eyes as the young prince shown so brightly like a star on a dark sky.'

Broderick in his long reign as the Emperor had done many things some good some bad and many regrets such as not keeping an eye on his finance minister and trusting him the backstabbing done by his once upon a time close friend hurt him badly, but unfortunately his hand was tied if he took action his empire would be plunged into civil war but today as if the Heaven's received his plea and send him a solution in the form of Ryuu, if he kills that man's son he would seek out vengeance against him and might provoke the power behind this kid, wining situation in his eyes only think he had to do is convince Dominil that he failed to save his son and direct his anger against Ryuu.

The Empress of Kitopia Empire Michelle since the moment Ryuu appeared to greet them was sitting silently as she studied Ryuu, she saw the confrontation between Xavi and others and as he insulted Ryuu only to brought to knees by a superior cultivation of Ryuu but what happened next caused her eyes to open wide as her jaw dropped Xavi's guards were peak Primal Daoist realm stronger than many pf their Royal Guards attacked Ryuu intent to kill him only for Ryuu to make his move with incredible finesse he dodged than cut those people down, even with her mid Immortal level cultivation she failed to see the movement of his sword juts a couple of flashes of it, but what came next caused her to shudder with fear.

A bloodlust so horrible she had never felt such blood lust in her life every people present there for a brief second was greeted by a huge tsunami of blood racing towards them as the waves content everyone they held dear no their mutilated corpses was being brought by those waves, they could feel the blood, they could smell it taste as their mind was invaded by madness making them wish to join in bath in those blood and add to it from their own body and they will be free from any torment any regret only for it to vanish as they were greeted bythe same ballroom where the party for General Vincenzo's hundred anniversary was to be held, she was shaking with fear who was responsible for it she never realized when she and her husband were already holding each other's hand shaking like a leaf.

Suddenly a jovial voice reached everyone's ear, "My my, it seems that my killing intent was too much for you people some of you had already perished because of it, such a shame."

A single thought ran through everyone's mind including Samuel as most looked at him with fear in their eyes, 'What kind of monster is he? Did he just kill someone with his killing intent alone?', and for the first time everyone including Jaelynn felt pity for Xavi.

Xavi had already soiled his pant by then he wanted to runaway as far a possible hide inside his closet and then cover himself up with his blanket and hope that the nightmare was over.

Ryuu tilted his head as he looked down at Xavi his eyes glistening with a hint of madness as he spoke, "What happened your lowliness cat got your tongue?"

Xavi tried to plead but he couldn't as if his whole body was paralyzed by this demon.

Ryuu raised his left hand and in front of all the people a very complex looking array formed he slammed the array on the ground and suddenly a barrier in the form of a cube of 5 meters on each side was formed surrounding them and all of a sudden the killing intent as well the suppressing affect of his Peak Void Immortal Level strength disappeared all together.

Ryuu: "Didn't you say I could only survive by licking your boots and crippling myself, did you not call my mother a harlot so stand up if you manage to cripple then this barrier will fall if not good luck being my punching bag I have a lot of frustration to work out and oh if you think that someone will come to rescue you well without anyone having knowledge beyond Immortal level I doubt anyone could break it."

Ryuu stood a few meters away from them as they got their bearing from their original group of 10 it was reduced to six, Ryuu lowered his strength to that of Peak Zifu Disciple level.

One of the remaining girl suddenly sent a seductive and flirtatious look towards Ryuu, "Lord Daoist, please I was forced to associate with this scums but if you save me I will offer my mind body and soul to you. Please big strong Daoist sir save me I.WILL.LET.YOU.DO.ANYTHING.TO.ME.", she finished the last sentence with a seductive moan as she flutter her eyelashes and pushed her breasts up to givea better view to her cleavage to Ryuu.

Meanwhile Lady Brice was frothing from her mouth the girl was from her academy even if she turned traitor the way she is acting in front of the entire crowd was so disgusting, she was afraid that the young hormonal mind of Ryuu would override any rational thoughts and he might act according to his lust.

Meanwhile Ryuu was incensed at that since his birth he was surrounded by mostly women each of them respectable figure, each of them strong and honorable even the maids who worked in Ayindril were honorable as such over the years he had garner incredible amount of respect for the fairer sex but seeing the woman act in front of him like that made him mad.

Another person spoke up from behind the group without letting Ryuu to reply, "Please senior daoist we did not recognize mighty being such as yourself please spare me I am only 30 I am as old as your grandchild so please forgive this grandchild's impudence."

It was a common notion for many people that the stronger the person is the older he is take for example Vincenzo he was a rank 6th Immortal he was celebrating his 100th anniversary, as such someone of Void Immortal might be old man of at least late 70s and he or she might already have a family.

Ryuu: "Oi my grandchild wannabe I am only 15 years old so that way of begging mercy will not work hmmm, how about this cripple yourself and then let me cut off a few of your limbs and you may leave."

Human mind is a very peculiar think whenever they suffer something traumatic or terrible in order for it to cope sometimes it latches into any sense of normalcy amongst all that is traumatic deluding itself to think it is in a safe environment, which happened with Ryuu's victims.

Xavi's eyes widened at that hearing Ryuu was only a 15 year old boy, he let out an enraged scream as he spoke, "YOU PHONY PIECE OF SHIT I YOUR FATHER WILL TAN YOUR HIDE OUT, I YOUR GRANDFATHER WIL…..you, what are you doing?"

Ryuu was calming drinking some iced tea from his flask as he looked up as he spoke, "hmmm you say something, and oh you people have finished your shenanigans then can we get started or are hoping to kill me through boredom."

At that Xavi and his group let out an enraged yell as each of them send out their devastating attacks, most of them being Ki cultivators send their flying swords, daggers and a few of them actually used elemental based skills while Xavi and another flanked him from both sides, Xavi had a broadsword while the other was barehanded.

Ryuu simply swung his sword as all the attacks were stopped even before they could reach Ryuu as an attack imbued with a level 7 sword force tore through them like paper it reached the attackers cutting two of them down from the waist while injuring the third and cutting off the left arm of the woman from the elbow.

The punch from the right was stopped with the help of his sword and the broadsword of Xavi with a finger as Ryuu yawned loudly as he spoke with a sleepy look, "Oi what is this you three are so weak I am feeling so ah sl-ah-ep-ah-py-ahhh.", he somehow with great difficulty manged to speak while trying to stifle a yawn.

The woman clearly enraged shouted out, "You despicable child there are 4 of us left did your teacher forget to teac....", whatever she was going to say was stopped as Ryuu cut down the person whose punch he had blocked just then.

Only Xavi was left unharmed as he struggled to get his broadsword out of Ryuu's grip which he held using only his thumb and index finger, he poured his entire strength of low level Wanxiang adept yet he was unable to make Ryuu who only maintained a peak Zifu Disciple level of strength to let his sword go.

Ryuu: "Look at you, you trash dare to call yourself as cultivator, I have only maintained a Peak Zifu Disciple level strength yet you so called Wanxiang adept level cultivators failed to scratch me oh well here is two.", as he spoke he send another sword based attack bisecting him from head to crotch hence effectively killing the third survivor, "and now here is one.", he sends a thrust towards the woman so powerful that it seemed to drill a round hole through her torso specially where her heart was killing her."

Ryuu turned towards Xavi with a smile befitting a saint as he spoke, "Now your lowliness how may I be of your service.", Xavi was already on the floor as his already soiled pant seemed to bulge even more as well as releasing even more amorous scent causing everyone to feel sick, as tears and snot poured like water from a broken dam.
