Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 493

Thousand Faces lounged on a chaise lounge that was overlooking the garden as he sipped from the glass of wine.

‘Ah, this is a fine wine indeed it is such a shame that I had to kill the makers of such a fine wine, the idiot brother was so helpful, well after my job is complete I will simply leave him to take the fall while I disappear into the winds, and as for Shangri-la the Universe is a huge one I doubt they would waste too much resources to find a 3rd rank Celestial Immortal like me when I would have some perfectly lined scapegoats to take the fall, though I hope that the idiot would not have managed to bungle…’

His internal monologue came to a screeching halt as one of the servants of the villa came flying over towards his location, and would have collided with him if he had not cut the servant into two by using his sabre.

“My my what a crooked person are you killing your own loyal servant.”

A voice came to his ears as he turned to look towards a grinning red-headed person with mismatched eyes, behind him stood an old man sipping from a cup of tea without a care of the world.

Thousand Faces turned red with anger as he spoke, “Who dares to brazenly attack me in this manner?”, as he spoke he let loose his killing intent as well as his KI blanketing the entire area.

The red-headed person simply placed his hand over his heart as he spoke with a mock shock on his face, “How cruel are you about giving me that invitation through your minion’s hands you are now failing to recognize Me.”, he then closed his eyes as he spoke in a chiding manner, “Tut, tut clearly someone has not given you some is in need of his lessons on etiquette.”

It took a moment for him to realize the identity of the intruder as he spoke with a smirk, “Ho so the mouse decided to play a visit at the lion’s mouth, and from the looks of it the idiot may not have failed completely.”

“Ah where are my manners.”, with that Ryuu raised his hand right hand high up in the air while his left found its way behind his back before with a circular motion he moved his hand in a way so as to bring the palm on top of his heart as he tilted his head slightly before speaking, “My name is Ryuu and I am the current General Manager of the Kuvosie branch.”

“I see my name is…”

Ryuu waved him off as he spoke, “Please, I am not your coroner so please there is no need to say me your name.”

Thousand Faces’ jaws tighten as a burst of loud laughter came to everyone’s ears as Ryuu looked towards the source of the laugh he was greeted by other men, with one of them looking bored and the other looking amused and as Ryuu studied them briefly the amused person spoke with a mocking edge in his voice, “Brother can we keep the jester to entertain us, there is no need to waste him.”

Thousand Faces snarled as he spoke, “Well we will see how he performs the task but before that capture him.”

Yu Wu was very nervous, she stood a good distance away from the place where the supposed Celestial was staying and then they learned the truth that there was no one but a group of three Celestial staying there.

Yu Wu was very nervous as she knew that a battle might break out any moment and every second seemed like an eternity to her, she was beginning to feel faint when all of a sudden the estate in front of her exploded in showers of wood and stone.

Before she could react she was bombarded by a mixture of killing intent and KI and for the first time, she clearly understood the reason why she felt such fear from Ryuu, even if he was below a level his KI was much denser and refined in comparison that of the Celestials by quite a margin, not to mention the tyrannical killing intent.

‘What is he? Such blood l.u.s.t and dense KI, I never seen or heard not to mention the domineering feeling from him, just what is he?’

Her musings were cut short as a small chuckle came from her side as she turned to look towards Yamamoto she was greeted by an amused smile on his face as he spoke, “Brilliant is he not.”

“How just what is he?

Yamamoto simply smirked as he spoke, “There are normal cultivators, then there are so called genius’s and then there is Ryuu, he is very strong compared to those of his age and level, now watch the show.”

Ryuu tilted his head as a sabre slash missed him by a hair breadth, and as the saber passed from above his head he felt the sabre force tickling his skin but he did not stop there as he made a quick turn before sending a vicious kick toward Thousand Faces ribs which made him grunt in pain as a sickening crack was heard as his ribs were broken.

As Thousand Faces moved away from Ryuu trying to get some distance between them, Ryuu suddenly raised his left hand towards his side a spear shot out of it and a figure was forced to retreat, Ryuu did not even turn as he knew that the person was one of Thousand Faces’ companions who had tried to flank him.

Genesis returned to his hand as he twirled it swatting away any and all arrows from harming him before he dashed towards the archer who was none other than the person who had called him a jester.

Ryuu weaved and dodged through any arrows with complete ease as reached his goal, and as he moved a look of panic seemed to form on the archer’s face which suddenly was replaced with a smirk as he spoke out, “Got you, Smoldering Rain.”

Yu Wu let out a strangled cry as to her it seemed as if the sky itself to be burned down by the sudden onset of smouldering fiery arrows, some of them even managed to find their way towards Yamamoto and his group only to disappear as Yamamoto let out a small grunt.

The archer gave a pained look as he spoke out loud, “Drat, I accidently vaporized him, now our plan would fail.”

“You are a short sighted grinning fool.”, a familiar voice came to his ears that chilled him to his bones.

“Brother Lan, watch out.”, that was the only warning he received he got from his friends as he quickly turns to face Ryuu.

“Too slow.”, was all heard before a tyrannical thunderous roar of a Dragon came to his ears as he watched with his eyes wide that the spear in Ryuu’s hand was now looking more like some kind of giant dragon that opened his mouth and fed on him, a huge pain erupted as he came to the realization that he was now armless and legless because of the attack.

“You bastard.”, a shout came from his side but Ryuu did not even turn to look towards him as he rammed the rear end of his spear hard on the person forcing the air out of his lungs before Ryan began his assault.

He turned and twisted his weapon as the person ducked when all of a sudden Ryuu felt immediate danger as he turned his body into a horizontal position before sending a thrust towards Thousand Faces who had attacked him.

Yu Wu had felt her heart give out when she had watched the devastating attack, she was sure that Ryuu had perished or might have been seriously injured from the attack only for her eyes to widen as she found him standing behind his attacker before returning the favour crippling his opponents, then her jaw dropped as she found himself single-handedly dealing with the remaining two Celestials with ease.

‘They are two fast, so fast that I can barely make out anything but from what I can perceive he is fighting two Celestials on even term.’

Yu Wu looked around and seeing the destruction that was wrought through the area she winced before she questioned out loud, “Senior Yamamoto, just how strong is he to match up in strength with the two Celestials.”

Yamamoto looked at Yu Wu as he spoke with a snort, “Match up to them, please he is toying with them.”

“But…”

As Yu Wu began to protest Yamamoto spoke with a knowing look on his face, “Ah, I see I kind of forgot about the part that you can barely keep up with them, young lady you should cultivate harder and more diligently, and back to the matter at hand while Ryuu looks barely winded while the those two are injured, not to mention Ryuu looks quite bored, but do you what else is scary about him.”

As Yu Wu shook his head negatively, Yamamoto replied back with a smirk, “He is not a Mystic Immortal Emperor but a Mystic Sword Immortal Emperor.”

Hearing that Yu Wu’s eyes widen upon hearing that, ‘He is not using any swords just what is he?’

Her musings were cut short when another heart-wrenching scream came to her ears, while Yamamoto flinches at the sight, the reason for it was simply the dagger-wielding Celestial had thrown his dagger towards Ryuu, thinking it was opening that he had found but Ryuu simply returned it back using a technique he had learned from his second mistress, but alas his practice with it was quite not up to the mark and as such instead of sending it back and hitting the enemy on his shoulder he managed to hit him in his groin.

A blood-curdling scream erupted from the Celestial’s throat as Ryuu had effectively castrated him, as he lunged with reckless abandon towards Ryuu.

‘This is going nowhere, I am bored and these two idiots are not good enough.’

Ryuu moved even faster as the now deranged man was now limbless in a blink of an eye while for the first time Thousand Face had a look of fear on his eyes as he spoke with fear in his voice, “I don’t want to deal with this.”

Suddenly a blood mist surrounded him and Ryuu knew even if he wanted he would not be able to catch him since he had activated the blood escape technique as he knew that by the time he would be within striking range Thousand Face would escape but he was not anxious as he snapped his finger, and soon with a startled scream a bloody Thousand Face fell on the ground like a kite that lost its wind.

Ryuu appeared in front of his subordinate who was gawking at him, he flicked his spear removing the blood on it with a flick of his wrist before he spoke with a yawn, “Sister Yu Wu if I remember you once informed me about a nice tea house in Kuvosie?”

As Yu Wu nodded Ryuu continued with a smile, “Excellent then let us return and then please escort me to the Tea House, I acted like a bully and bullied some weak people something I feel distasteful as such I need something to unwind, so please let us hurry.”

As the group left, the shadow surrounding the heavily injured trio of Celestial Immortals exploded before dragging them into the shadow itself disappearing them from sight.
