Chapter 332 - Assassination (Part-3)

As Ryuu moved along with his subordinates at blinding speed one of his subordinates spoke with a frown, "Captain I do not wish to appear insubordinate but was it wise to anger him."

Ryuu looked at him with a raised eye brow as he spoke, "Well I might not be expert on psychology but my gamble worked and now we have to just buy some time for reinforcement."

The very same soldier let out a cry of alarm as he spoke, "You Gambled!!!!"

Ryuu nodded too pleased with his gamble as he spoke, "Yes I did and it worked, the enemy group is send to take my head and I do not wish for you to get caught in the collateral, I will have to thin the herd before we can clash with them, I do not doubt that reinforcement will arrive and our men will surely successfully inform the headquarter but there is a chance that the enemy had anticipated the move not to mention it would take a few hours for them to reach headquarters and there might be some ambush setup towards the direction or…."

First Lieutenant Chavez bit his lips as he spoke, "There is traitor who would suppress the cry for help like he already has done."

Ryuu nodded eliciting a cry of alarm from others as he spoke with a solemn sigh, "Why do you think I send those 5 away, don't we have a means to contact the headquarters, of course we do but it is not working, it cannot be a jammer because we are at least a 300 Km from the village not only that how did they know which route we would take and setup the ambush I fear someone might have leaked it."

Chavez balled his fist in anger as he sat out, "Traitors!!!!"

Ryuu shrugged at that as he focused in front of him as he spoke, "We can think about the traitor but for now increase the speed and focus forward I want to draw them into the 'Canyon of the Forgotten' up ahead."

Others grinned at the Canyon in front of them, it was a maze created by gaseous release of various poisonous plants which caused severe hallucinogenic problems an advantage to them as they carried the antidote with them, an antidote that bought them an hour, and it would be enough for them to turn the tide.

Bozarth felt his anger rising like no tomorrow he had increased his space tremendously leaving behind others as the only thing in his sight was Ryuu, he wanted nothing but to tear his spine out and drink his blood but he hoodwinked him then turned tailed and ran away not to mention that coward had the gall to insult him no just killing him would not satisfy him he would make him beg for his death, while day dreaming of that he let out a sadistic chuckle as he dashed towards Ryuu.

Ryuu could feel the anger, hatred and killing intent directed at him making him scoff, before he frowned, 'My men are not fast he will catch them before we can properly hide inside the canyon and spring the trap I will have to draw the attention of the four Celestials as it would be easier for my men to deal with their army if they can get them inside the canyon.

Ryuu as such looked around at his second in command as he spoke, "Chavez you all are slow, I will distract the Celestials you all try to lure and engage with their army I hope you will be able to do it."

Chavez's eyes widen at that as he spoke, "But Captain Ryuu they are.."

Ryuu tilted his head as he spoke, "I know what they are and I also know my full capabilities as such I believe I can hold them off long enough to deal with their army, now move.", as he barked the orders he mentally readied himself for the fight he will have with the Celestials.

Cezary was in bad mood they had just found the officer in charge of communication dead and everything related to communication was trashed beyond repair, he did not like it as such he used his personal communicator and had informed his higher ups and they unanimously agreed to send reinforcement to all squads that were currently patrolling, there had been 5 such squads of which one returned shortly whereas the others had been at various distance away from their battalion the one he was worried was the one about Ryuu as he travelled with his group of 2000 strong army slowly received news of others squads and all were well except that of Ryuu making him more and more anxious when all of a sudden they encountered a soldier from Ryuu's squad and his fears came true he had been ambushed by army and enemies stronger than his own.

When he reached the 'Canyon of the Forgotten' it seemed that a battle was in full swing between Ryuu's squad and the enemy squad although from the looks of it they were about to win soon, he simply quickened the process as he ordered his men to reinforce he searched for any signs of Ryuu and the Celestials but he could not locate either of them when an huge aura drew his attention as he saw a figure collide with the wall of the canyon hard making a crater and causing the wall to collapse along with it, Cezary looked at the figure on the ground lying motionless with eyes widen as the figure was none other than Ryuu who was bleeding from his mouth.

"Aww did I hit you too hard, are you going to cry now.", the taunting words reached Cezary's ears as he looked at the speaker who was standing looking down on Ryuu flanked by three others who laughed uproariously towards Ryuu, he was about to engage them when it happened a terrifying killing intent enveloped everyone it felt as if they were suddenly surrounded by a sea of blood, it was terrifying to the point every fight in their vicinity had stopped as many looked towards the direction of Ryuu with fear then came the bone chilling laughter from Ryuu.

"Bravo Bravo that was a sound tactics I never believe that I would fall for something so cheap such a dirty tactics but everything is fair in war is it not worm.", the mocking sound of Ryuu's voice end chills down Cezary's spine more so when he opened his eyes to look at the enemy the bestial eyes looked towards them in a way that portrayed a predator would look at the prey.

Bozarth growled at him as he spoke, "What can you do you trash? Talk me to death."

Ryuu tilted his head as he spoke, "You guys are impudent barbarian it is time someone taught you some manners.", with his words as if the Universe began to shift as he spoke, "PROSTRATE BEFORE ME MONGREL!", as Ryuu shouted out a terrifying Draconic silhouette growled at them from behind him.

The next scene would be forever imprinted in Cezary's memory as something that he would never forget and it was not him but others as well as the four Celestials who looked as someone undefeatable to most if not all of them suddenly fell from the sky and kneeled in front of Ryuu like some lowly dog, the four proud cultivators who was stronger than Ryuu was bowing to him in fact even many amongst them had the sudden unexplained urge to follow the four Celestials' example.

Bozarth did not know what happened but as soon as the words left Ryuu's mouth he was about to dismiss it as a delusion from a half death idiot only for his body to collapse on the ground, 'huh, what happened why am is my face is on the ground and why can I not move.'

Cezary took a deep breath as he finished recounting the story while others listened to him with rapt attention when he finished that Leo let out a small whistle as he spoke, "Seems like someone inherited Pangu's anger do you all remember Pangu once made the head of major powers kneel before him."

Saidhal smirked at that as he spoke, "Damn it was a sight I would never forget all those haughty and holier than thou cultivators were forced on their knees by a sentence."

At that the trio of sisters smirked at that feeling immense sense of pride as Ryuu sneezed for umpteenth time as he grumbled loudly at that while Zywia simply snorted in amus.e.m.e.nt at that as she spoke, "Seems like someone is talking about you."

Ryuu simply raised his eyebrow as he spoke with a huff, "That is simply some idiotic superstition nothing more nothing less.", although inwardly he swore if by chance what Zywia said was true he would make the person, who made him sneeze so much pay, only for a terrible feeling of dread send shiver down his spine as if he was about to bite more than he could chew.
