Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!



Bolts of lightning crackled, fire erupted, and gusts of wind swirled in a chaotic display of prowess. But Xu Shan's movements were a dance of fluidity and precision, his body weaving through the onslaught of attacks with uncanny grace.

With a swipe of his hand, he summoned a gust of wind to redirect a torrent of flames, creating a barrier of swirling elements that shielded him from harm. 

In the midst of the chaos, he struck with calculated ferocity, his fists and feet delivering devastating blows that shattered bones and sent bodies flying.

The hall echoed with the agonized cries of the defeated cultivators. Xu Shan's eyes burned with excitement as he engaged each opponent with a calculated strategy, exploiting their weaknesses and turning their own attacks against them.

Even though he couldn't break through to the next level after the Heavenly Celestial, it was the same for these people. 

At the same level, he was much more lethal, especially when standing before these inexperienced people, who felt like cannon fodder to him. 

One by one, the cultivators fell, their bodies battered and broken. The once formidable assembly of powerhouses now lay defeated at Xu Shan's feet, their arrogance shattered and their confidence reduced to dust.

Blood spilled everywhere as the hall was filled with dead bodies. 

The room fell into an eerie silence, broken only by the heavy breathing of Xu Shan, his body covered in bruises and bloodstains. Despite the odds, he stood tall, gazing at the City Lord's wife who was the only person still left alive. 

He had also left her alive for a specific reason. She was the entire reason for his arrival here after all. 

A hushed whisper of disbelief swept through the City Lord's wife, her expressions a mix of fear, disbelief and terror. She still couldn't believe what she had witnessed. 

If it wasn't for the dead bodies lying at her feet, she would've found it hard to believe her eyes as well, thinking she was hallucinating. 

As Xu Shan stood amidst the fallen cultivators, his gaze swept over to the woman in the distance who stepped back subconsciously, falling over the chair. 

The Guards stood outside the doors, not realizing what just happened inside the hall. Xu Shan had used his own Treasure to make sure that the sound didn't leak outside. He didn't want any interference while he dealt with these people. 

He walked over to the table, going through dead bodies of the most influential people in the City. The entire floor had turned red. 

He pulled a chair back, and sat down with his leg resting over the table. 

"Looks like your puppets are dead. Are you going to attack me personally now?" he asked the City Lord's wife. 

The woman frowned, wondering why this guy killed everyone except her. There was no way that he left her because she was a woman or because he was merciful. 

"What do you want from me?" The woman asked with clenched teeth. She felt furious that she had to negotiate with the killer of her husband. However, she also knew she had no choice. 

She couldn't afford to die here. She had her children to think about as well. She thought that with the help of the people in the room, she could have Xu Shan killed. Unfortunately, they all proved to be useless. 

Xu Shan revealed a smile. "That's why I love talking to intelligent people. I came here because I had some business with you. If you had accepted nicely, these poor people wouldn't have to die, would they?"

"What do you want?!" The woman repeated the question, her tone getting louder and colder. 

However, as soon as he finished speaking, she noticed Xu Shan disappear. In the next moment, she felt a hand behind her head. 

Before she could react, her face was smacked on the table. The table shattered from the impact. 

Xu Shan raised her head, letting out a sigh. He used a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the woman's face. 

"Apologies. I just lose my temper when people talk to me in that tone," Xu Shan whispered in the ears of the woman. "I hope you'll be more careful from now on."

In the next moment, he appeared back on the chair on the other side of the broken table. 

The woman glared at Xu Shan. She placed a healing pill in her mouth, letting her gruesome face heal. If gazes could kill, Xu Shan would've been dead a thousand times. 

But Xu Shan remained unfazed, his expression calm and composed. "Now, shall we discuss our business?"

****

Half an hour later, the door of the hall opened. The Woman was the first to leave the hall. She told the guards to leave this place and patrol outside. 

The guards didn't resist. Even though the woman appeared somewhat unnatural, the guards didn't find it strange. She had lost her husband after all. They couldn't even think what might have happened in such a short time. 

All the guards left respectfully, not realizing that the hall was filled with blood and bodies at the moment. Not a single thing was intact. 

After the guards left, Xu Shan stepped out of the room. His clothes were once again spotless, just like his mask. He closed the door of the hall behind him, and followed the woman towards a certain section of the Palace. 

The woman held her fists tightly, but she didn't do anything stupid. She had a feeling that resisting was stupid, since Xu Shan could target her children later in anger. 

She brought Xu Shan to a certain section of the Mansion, where a small crystal was placed, which came from the Royal Capital. 

This crystal was used by the City Lord's Mansion for creation of identifications that could be used to use teleportation points throughout the entire Kingdom. 

Usually, there was a special team to operate this since the City Lord couldn't waste his time on this. However, that team was sent back since the identification process was stopped. 

However, the woman had no choice but to personally handle this since this was Xu Shan's first demand.
