Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 200 Chapter 200: Humiliation

"Wait! How can you just barge in like this?!" The Former Emperor ran to stop the red haired General to prevent him from disturbing Xu Shan.

Observing the deep concern etched on the man's face, the General grew increasingly certain that something was wrong here.

He couldn't help but wonder: why had Xu Shan not shown up, and what motives fueled the relentless attempts to stop him from checking up on him? With a myriad of unanswered questions crowding his mind, the General grew impatient.

"Touch me and I'll kill you!" The General warned the Former Emperor, who froze in fear. Although he was the Former Emperor, but in this new generation, he had no influence. He didn't even have the strength.

Still, he gathered his courage, blocking the old man's path. Even if he was to die, he couldn't let the General pass through. He was more scared of Xu Shan than he was of the General.

Even if he was killed while blocking the General, it didn't matter. At least his daughter was going to survive. But if he let the man pass through and Xu Shan was angry, let alone him, even his daughter might be killed.

He was certain that Xu Shan wasn't joking when he said he would kill them if anyone disturbed him.

"You're so weak, I feel disgusted to even kill you!" The General grabbed the Emperor by his hair.

Such disrespect had never been shown to the Emperor. It was worse than death for a man to be embarrassed like that. He was dragged through the floor with his hair in the General's grasp.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Yunxi and the Maid rushed to the General.

In the blink of an eye, both of them collided forcefully with the doors, blood trickling from their mouths.

In their desperation, they had temporarily lost sight of the distinction that separated them from the General. They realized that without his permission, they were unable to even come close to him! The difference in strength was too much.

With nothing more than a single wave of the General's aura, they were forcefully propelled through the air. Such was the immense power that even the sturdy doors of the Mansion crumbled under the impact, expelling the two women who were now thrust onto the ground outside.

The various Clan Elders who waited outside were taken aback, catching the strange sight. It was clear that a conflict was taking place inside the mansion as two people from inside were sent flying out.

They weren't certain if it was a conflict between the guest of the Mansion and the General. But for Generals to behave so brazenly in the mansion, they were now certain that the rumors about Xu Shan's strength were exaggerated.

Not only that, they even started wondering if Xu Shan actually had any importance for the Empress. If he was really her lover, would a General really act like that? To observe the situation from closer, they moved closer to the Mansion's entrance.

Despite not entering the mansion, they were able to catch a glimpse inside as the doors were broken.

They could see the General dragging a man by his hair, going deeper in the mansion. Some of the Elders recognized the man, quite stunned.

It was the Former Emperor! They hadn't expected to see this person here at all. Was this person the Guest to whom the mansion was assigned? Did the Empress finally have mercy on the old man and free him from the cells? Did he make some mistake to be treated like that now? They had lots of questions.

Before long, the General abruptly veered to the left, vanishing from sight. In a surprising turn of events, he did not abandon the Former Emperor, but instead continued to drag him along, as if punishing him by destroying every single bit of dignity the Emperor had.

The General moved forward, scanning his surroundings for signs of life to locate Xu Shan. Soon, he came across a protective barrier, which blocked his path.

"A barrier!" he frowned, looking at the room on the other side. "So this is where he's hiding? To set up such a barrier... That's suspicious."

The General wasn't like others. He knew that Xu Shan wasn't a lover of the Empress. He wasn't a friend either. If anything, he was an enemy. That's why he was assigned to this place to make sure that the man didn't go anywhere without him.

"If it's a barrier, then I just have to break it! Let's see what you're hiding!" The General finally released the Former Emperor, kicking his chest to send him flying away.

The ex-emperor's chest was brutally crushed by the attack, shattering countless bones and, unfortunately, causing a few to pierce his heart.

When attacking, the General also didn't expect this to happen, but he didn't care. He didn't even look at the Emperor in the back who was suffocating. His face went pale, his body trembling, as he reached out his hand to ask for help. Unfortunately, he couldn't even speak.

Ignoring his presence, the General defiantly brandished his prized Sword, prepared to shatter the obstructing barrier that lay ahead.

Channeling his celestial energy, he concentrated all his might into the blade. Steadying himself and firmly pressing his hand on the ground, he launched a forceful assault upon the obstruction.

The General swung his sword forcefully against the translucent barrier, causing a powerful impact that reverberated throughout the Mansion.

The sheer force of the attack was enough to make the entire structure tremble, while the wind unleashed by the strike pushed the General several steps backward.

Much to his astonishment, though, the barrier remained unbroken. He couldn't believe his eyes.

This single attack was powerful enough to annihilate an entire city with ease to the point that not a single life would've been left behind. But before this barrier, it was useless. Not even a scratch could be seen on the barrier.

"I don't believe I can't break it! I refuse to believe it!" The General raised his attack, but before he could attack, he heard a creaking sound coming from the other side of the barrier. The door opened.
