Top Star: Journey To Become A Global Star - Chapter 283

Chapter 283. Death (1)

The scene was of a battlefield. Countless soldiers and mercenaries were fighting each other, blood was spilt everywhere and the whole ground was filled with a distinct smell.

It was a familiar smell to Cao Xu.

‘The smell of death…!’

Cao Xu thought as he gripped his sword in his hand. There was an old saying – The more you get accustomed to the smell of death, the closer you are to death!

It was a disgusting smell and soldiers and mercenaries would often be wary of it, but it gave a strange comforting feeling to Cao Xu.

Inhaling the strange smell, Cao Xu’s grip on his sword – Blade of shadow became tighter.

“Do you have the same feeling?”

He muttered and lowered his head to look at his sword. The blade of shadow was a legendary sword filled with the aura of darkness.

The only person who can wield it was Cao Xu and there were many legends about his sword, some even saying that the soul of an ancient wolf resides within the sword.

But his sword didn’t react to his words and Cao Xu again raised his head, but this time, there was a slight smile on his face.

The sword hadn’t reacted or even tilted a little, but he seemed to have understood what it meant.

At that moment, he heard some voices drawing close to him.

“I will kill you and get the position of Duke!”

“No, he’s mine!”

“Die you evil wrench! We will purify the Liang empire with your blood!”

Three soldiers were coming towards him with their swords in their hand. They were ready to slash off his head, but Cao Xu merely smiled at this sight.

It was like he was looking at a prey that was drawing close to him on his own.

‘My brother sure is foolish…’

Everyone knows that Xu Tingsheng has promised that position of Duke to the person who would kill Cao Xu. It was a chance for a common person to attain the prestigious position of the Duke.

But was it that easy to kill Cao Xu?

Even the main character of the story, Xie Xian was not sure if he could kill Cao Xu in a one on one fight. How could mere soldiers or mercenaries be able to kill him?

They were just blinded by greed and the only thing in their mind was the countless riches they can obtain after killing Cao Xu.

For fools like them, Cao Xu didn’t need to move much.

“Stupid, greedy, fools…”

Cao Xu murmured under his breath and glanced at the three soldiers coming his way. He didn’t even need to think about how to kill them.

“Die!”

The first soldier shouted and slashed at Cao Xu, but he easily dodged his attack and took a step forward. In that one instant, the blade of shadow has already slashed through the first soldier.

But it hasn’t ended yet.

There were still two soldiers coming his way.

The second soldier tried to directly plunge his sword at Cao Xu’s neck, but his sword stopped in the middle. A painful groan leaked out of his mouth as he puked out blood.

“Gawk!”

The second soldier hadn’t even realised, but Cao Xu had already made a hole in his stomach.

He wasn’t even able to mutter a single word as he died. The third soldier stopped in his tracks seeing that, but it was already too late.

Cao Xu was close enough already. His blade of shadow glowed a little and a mysterious, shadowy look appeared in his eyes.

The third soldier thought that he was looking at the devil himself. Cao Xu’s eyes shined and before he could even take one more breath, the third soldier had already lost his head.

“Too easy…”

Cao Xu muttered and looked at the dead bodies of the soldier. It may look like a few minutes had passed by, but the truth was that Cao Xu had killed them in just under 10 seconds.

He had even done it by taking only three steps!

“Cut!!”

At that moment, Director Chen Pu’s voice was heart and the scene ended.

‘A peaceful day after a while…’

Director Zhao thought as he leaned back on his chair and enjoyed the cold coffee with cream on top of it.

He was someone who would always be busy with something. It would either be handling the new projects or dealing with some actors and actresses.

No one said being a director was easy. Especially when the acting department was finally gaining momentum and it can even overtake the singing department in a year.

Director Zhao was happy because of that.

“Chu Min is busy in Korean dramas, Xiao Rin’s schedule is also packed and Ren is just finishing the shooting of his drama…”

These three were the main pillars of the acting department and all three of them were busy, meaning that the chances of trouble were really low.

It was not like there was no trouble at all, but it wasn’t that big for a director to get involved with it.

But…

At that moment, the door of his office suddenly opened and a girl suddenly barged in without any care of the world.

Only a few people can enter the director’s office like this and Director Zhao quickly stood up from his chair when he realised who she was.

She was Xiao Rin, the actress that quickly escalated to being a first class actress by winning the Golden dragon movie award.

“Xiao Rin, what are you doing here?”

Director Zhao asked with some confusion on his face. Xiao Rin should be at her home at this time after the shooting, but for some reason, she was standing in front of him.

“I wanted to talk to you about something and my schedule is packed yesterday. I didn’t find any other time to talk to you.”

“I don’t know what it is, but we can talk about it later. You must be tired after shooting for the whole day. You should go and rest.”

“No, I need to talk!”

Ignoring his words, Xiao Rin sat down on the chair in front of him and Director Zhao couldn’t help but shake his head a little.

He knows that he can’t do anything here. He also sat back down and stared at her.

“What do you want to talk about?”

“«Slayers»!”

Director Zhao’s eyes became round hearing that.
