Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!



"Down on your knees!" The guards became extremely alert, getting down from their horses while pointing their swords at Xu Shan. 

"How did you find our travel route? Who sent you here?" The Leader of the Guards coldly asked. 

He didn't believe that there happened to be a man who was lost in a place like that. If anything, it appeared to be a trick by him to get close to them. 

They had intentionally taken such a barren and roundabout way to get to their destination, just for the safety of the person inside the Carriage! Not a single person should've been here, let alone someone who was lost!

"Huh?" Xu Shan tilted his head sideways, confused. Were these people mistaking him for someone else? Why would he have any ulterior motives here!

"On your knees!" The Leader of the Guards coldly instructed again. "If you move even a little, we will be forced to take your life!"

"Forced to take my life?" Xu Shan asked, slightly intrigued. Even though he wasn't leaking his aura, these people were still a light too confident. 

However, it wasn't surprising either. Almost all the guards were Heavenly Celestials, just like him. Albeit they were in the initial stages while he was at the peak. 

Still, for even the weakest guard to be a Heavenly Celestial, he was really curious as to who was inside the carriage? 

"As I said, I have no intention of getting close to you. If you could just answer me one thing, I'll be on my way." 

To show his support, he even took a few steps back, keeping his hands raised above his head. However, he didn't follow the instructions of dropping to his knees. 

The guard raised an eyebrow. He looked around at his surroundings, as if looking for something. If Xu Shan was actually an enemy, that meant their route was leaked. So there was no way he was going to be the only person here!

However, he didn't feel any other presence either. As far as his eyes could see, there was no one else. He wondered if it was really a coincidence?

"What is your destination? Ask!" He told Xu Shan. He didn't lower his guard. He was ready to take Xu Shan out, with even the slightest suspicious movement from him. 

"I'm looking for the Qu-" Xu Shan spoke, but before he could even finish his sentence, he noticed some movement under the ground. 

Unlike him, the Guards appeared to be completely unaware. It was as if their perception wasn't strong enough yet. 

Suddenly, multiple spears came out of the ground, impaling the guards. The Captain of the Guards reacted at the last moment, dodging swiftly. However, even he was scratched by the spear. 

Most of the Guards were killed, with only a few managing to survive. Unfortunately, the ones who survived didn't have a good expression on their faces. 

"Heh, to think that some of you would still be able to survive!" 

Multiple dark figures came out of the ground, holding the Spears. All of their bodies were covered in black, with their faces hidden behind masks. 

It was impossible to see their faces. If anything, other than their murderous eyes, nothing else was visible. 

"You!" The Captain of the Guards glanced at Xu Shan, as his anger flared. 

In his eyes, he was trickled. Xu Shan was actually with these people! He delayed them, while they arranged themselves to attack. This was an elaborate plot according to him. 

On the other hand, Xu Shan shrugged. He had no idea that this was going to happen. This time, he was completely innocent. 

Only four guards had managed to survive, including the Captain of the Guards who was the strongest in his group. 

However, there were over ten assassins there, making it an extremely hard battle to survive. 

The Captain of the Guards glanced toward the Carriage. His fist tightened. No matter what, he had to protect that carriage! The person inside that Carriage couldn't be allowed to die! It was his responsibility!

"How much were you paid for this? We will pay you double, if you stop right now!" The Captain spoke. 

"Hahaha!" The Assassin Leader laughed in response. "I apologize, but once we take on a task, we can't return without finishing it. It doesn't matter how much you pay."

"However, I can allow you to buy your own life, since our mission has nothing to do with you. But that also depends on how much you can offer!" he exclaimed. 

"And what is your mission?!" The Captain of the Guards asked. 

The Assassin cackled, glancing at the carriage. "Don't pretend as if you don't know what we are here for."

"Enough talking. If you have something that can make me interested, I shall let you run away. But if you can't, you will die here!" 

The Captain of the Guards took a deep breath. "Just like you can't abandon your mission, I can't run away from my responsibility. You'll have to walk over my dead body to get to that carriage!"

He tightened his grip around the hilt of his sword. 

"With pleasure..." The Leader of the Assassin laughed. 

All the assassins moved, with multiple assassins attacking a single guard. However, the Captain of the Guards was only being attacked by one person! The Leader of the Assassins didn't want anyone's help. 

The battle began, and it didn't look like it was going well for the Guards. Within a few minutes, the remaining guards were killed as well. 

It was clear that the Assassins were stronger. They were also in a larger number. Only the Captain of the Guards had managed to hold on, fighting fiercely with the Assassins. 

The sound of a Sword colliding with a spear echoed in the surroundings, as the battle raged on, slowly destroying the surroundings. 

The Captain of the Guards was slowly being pushed back, as the wounds around his body increased. However, even the Assassin wasn't unharmed, as the Sword sliced through, cutting the mask of the Assassin in half, while leaving a scar on his face. 

Throughout everything, Xu Shan simply watched like a spectator.
