Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 331

Ryuu collapsed on a chair as his subordinates began ordering food in the small restaurant well it was like a small shop in a village that they decided to rest for some time, Ryuu casually watched the interaction between various people in his group with interest it was after all good to learn a thing or two beyond the name of one’s subordinate, he turned his head outside the window to see the village children playing around laughing and giggling, it reminded of a distant part of his childhood that he did not get to enjoy to the fullest, truth be told even if his teachers had provided him everything no matter what, no matter how costly or rare that item may be but one thing he never had was a proper childhood where he grew up playing around his friends all he knew was cultivate and cultivate, he never had any friends in his age group and any that he had now was old enough to be his mother’s great grandparent. At the thought of his friends a certain memory rose from behind his mind a small village, even smaller than this one where he had met his first and might be only friends around his age, at the thought of them he gained a faint smile, if they would have been alive then they would be all old man and woman spending their days recalling their days of youth to their wide eyed grandchild, while some of their brethren might already be dead and gone, and he would they consider him as his friend when he would stand in front of a group of people who were once at his age who played with him and now had half their feet dangling on their grave where as he looks like a young man barely a teenager.

Ryuu shook his head shaking himself out of the depressing thoughts as he focused on his soldiers as he watched the food being served to his people as he was about to pick up the glass of wine he frowned, ‘What is this? A paralysis poison and poison to cripple our KI temporary mixed with the wine, he quickly send his KI to his and everyone else’s food and found all of them laced by some sort of poison or another, sometimes certain villages which appear to be nice and all are at the end of the day bandit coven but the poison used would even cause problem for mi level Celestial and the only way it can happen if….

Ryuu eyes widen before he shouted out throwing everything off the table, “AMBUSH!!!!!!”

His shout was enough to rouse any and all of his soldiers into ready mode but it was too late as the area around them exploded as the dust settled in place, the group of 100 soldiers including their Captain found themselves surrounded by a golden spherical barrier courtesy of Ryuu, as they looked around they found the entire village devastated from the explosion and they had little doubt that the villagers had escaped unscathed at all.

Ryuu looked up as he watched multiple cultivators surrounding them as he let out a tired sigh while he spoke, “Ah whoever your leader is let me apologize to him for scaring him to the point he had to quake in his boots and was unable to attack us directly, it must be tough serving under him I feel for you all poor fools. So was he able to come here or is he still pissing himself behind you all.”

“How dare you speak about me like that.”, a thunderous voice came to their ears as they looked up to see a man dressed in rather flamboyant manner as his aura rippled causing Ryuu’s eyes to narrow a little as others around him shifted in fear in discomfort, after all they only numbered around 100 whereas the enemy was a thousand strong with 4 Celestial Level Cultivator and the speaker himself was a 3rd ranked Celestial.

Ryuu tilted his head as he spoke with a look of enlightenment in his eyes, “Ah I now understand why you blew up this village sky high, damn they gave you an ugly make over my lady.”

The person shook with anger as he shouted out, “Shut up you buffoon I am a male and this is me making a fashion statement, and I do not have any grudge against this worms my only business is with you, you who killed my lover my Halphine and today I have come for you.”

Normally Ryuu did not have anything against anyone’s fashion when he everything to him is clothes nothing more and nothing less nor does he understand about makeup but most if not all flamboyant people have a touch of insecurity on their looks as such they dress so loudly and Ryuu was trying to capitalize on it and play on it so that his opponent makes a mistake he could capitalize upon after all today not only was he responsible for his life but the lives of a 100 subordinates as well.

As such Ryuu decided to anger him even more while mentally apologizing any people who might be offended by his next words, “Ahh sorry about that I am do not remember any bug I crushed though suggesting from his name he is male but I am sorry but I cannot accept your feelings I am straight and I as such I am sorry but I do not swing in that weird manner.”

He could feel a couple of eyes boring at him from behind him and he mentally sighed as he had nothing against love, people can love whoever they wished to after all love is a beautiful thing so beautiful that it can change the world for the better as such he decided that after this fiasco was over he might give his subordinates a treat and apologize to clear the misunderstanding that might have occurred.

The flamboyant person shook in anger as he charged angrily as one of the person near him shouted at him, “Brother Bozrath stop he is bating you.”, but alas his anger made him blind as he dashed with his full power with intent ot kill as the others in his group could not help but move as well to support him.

Ryuu watched as the person come closer and closer, during the entire banter between them he did not stay idle he had already given out orders to his men and as the person crossed the 50 meter mark the golden barrier glowed and flooded the area with a brilliant shade of white blinding them, and when they finally regained their senses Ryuu’s group had already put a good few distance amongst them as they had decided to flee.

Before Bozarth could do anything a gravitational pull forced him and his entire group to fall on to the ground before another array shone and an explosion of titanic proportion that dwarfed the previous one by many times took place, as the dust cleared Bozarth and his fellow Celestials looked worse for wear while their force had been effectively cut in half as the others were either dead or too injured to chase after Ryuu.

With another below of anger Bozarth charged forward along with the rest who followed after him apparently they had not taken the injuries sustained firm explosion to well, as the group was far off from their initial position a group of five cultivators appeared who were waiting hidden in sight as one of them spoke, “Our Captain and our brothers and sisters depend on us as such we cannot fail no matter what happens headquarters have to be notified about the ambush, now remember the procedure and move accordingly.”, with that they disappeared from sight.
