Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 150 150: I Still Help

?

"I-i will help you! I will take you anywhere you want to go!" The Captain of the Guards spoke unconditionally, starting with trying to apologize for previously trying to drag him in this mess. 

However, he didn't stop there. "But if we don't kill them, it won't be good for anyone! The Assassins are from the Shadow Temple! Now that you've seen one of their faces, they won't let you live! No one who comes across them is allowed to live! This is their rule!"

"They might pretend to work with you and let you leave, but they'll tell their higher ups about you. You'll become the most wanted person for the Shadow Temple! Your life will never be the same if you don't kill them now!"

Seeing Xu Shan uninterested, the man further continued, "You might be strong enough to survive the Assassins here, but they are the weakest in their group! Even you can't survive when the strongest comes after you!"

"Even the Divine Queen herself hadn't been able to eradicate the Shadow Temple! That should be enough for you to know their might!"

The man kept trying to persuade Xu Shan. However, he didn't use the same old trick like offering him a reward, since that previously failed. He instead showed him that it was necessary for him as well. It could affect his future, making powerful enemies for him. 

"Divine Queen?" Xu Shan frowned. "How many queens are there in this world?"

Hearing Xu Shan's question, the Captain of the Guards became even more confused. Previously, he thought that Xu Shan was one of the prodigies from those reclusive great powers of the Divine Realm, but his questions didn't give that impression. 

It was fine if he didn't know about the Shadow Temple, but he didn't know about their queen either? It was as if this was his first time here!

"T-there is only one Queen in the Divine Realm," the Captain of the Guards explained. 

While he was feeling confused, the Leader of the Assassins sighed in relief. He initially thought that he had offended someone with a great backing, but it was now getting clear for him that Xu Shan didn't have any backing here. 

If he had that, he would've already had enough knowledge about this world. In fact, he was also convinced that Xu Shan wasn't from the Divine Realm. Even the most reclusive clans of the world knew about the Ruthless Queen. 

It was said that one was allowed to offend the heavens for once, but offending the Queen was not. A single wrong word before the queen meant death! A single mistake before her, meant death. 

Amongst the Divine Beings in this world, the Divine Queen reigned supreme, ruling over the only Empire. 

Once upon a time, there also used to be more Empires here, but when the Divine Queen started conquering them, none could stand in her path! None could bear her wrath! She was like a terrifying storm. 

Wherever she passed through, there was nothing left but carnage and destruction. For most people, just her name alone was enough

People would tremble in fear at the mere mention of her name, afraid of incurring her wrath. She was unstoppable, an eternal force that seemed to have no weaknesses. 

The Leader of the Assassins had made up his mind. He didn't have to worry about anyone backing the kid before him. He could take him out. No witnesses were allowed to be left. 

"He is lying. We have no such rules!" The Leader of the Assassin exclaimed. "Why would we chase someone over such a simple reason? We aren't that free. So don't worry. Ask me where you want to go. I'll tell you the directions and then you can go."

As the man spoke, he subtly gestured to his man, hiding it from Xu Shan's eyes. His gestures were clear. They had to take advantage of the moment when Xu Shan was distracted to kill him. 

The Assassins who were in the distance nodded. One of them grabbed his spears firmly, turning into a shadow. 

"Also, you are quite talented. If you want to join us, I might be able to recommend you to the Shadow Temple. You would like it a lot. You'll rise from earth to sky in a single step!" The Leader of the Assassin spoke. 

Xu Shan rubbed his forehead. "I'm grateful for the offer, but I have other matters to attend to. Also, one more thing. As I said before..."

"I don't like to be schemed against." A dagger appeared in Xu Shan's hand. He turned around abruptly at the same time as the Assassin came out of his shadow. 

The Assassin's eyes widened. He had just come out of the shadow to attack, but before he could even land properly, a dagger stabbed his chest. 

At the same time, another dagger appeared in Xu Shan's other hand, which he tossed straight at the Leader of the Assassins. 

The Leader of the Assassins dodged the dagger but stumbled back in shock as Xu Shan approached him with a menacing look. 

Even as he dodged the attack, he felt his legs trembled. It was only then he noticed that the dagger had left a small scratch on his body. He couldn't completely avoid it. 

"You!" The other Assassins attacked together.

Xu Shan smiled grimly and threw himself into the fight, his movements fluid and precise as he took down each Assassin one by one. He wasn't interested in associating himself with the matters of these people. However, when it came to his own life, he finally stopped holding back. 

The Captain of the Guards was initially shocked when Xu Shan slammed him. That speed was almost equal to him. However, he was even more stunned now. 

He couldn't even see Xu Shan's shadow now! It was clear that the speed he showed previously wasn't even his full speed. The Assassins were like ignorant prey. Meanwhile, Xu Shan was the real Assassin here.
