Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

The wound on his face further infuriated the Leader of the Assassins. 

"You said I need to walk over your dead body?! That won't be needed! There won't even be a dead body for me to walk over! I'll destroy you!" He roared. 

Far away from the battle, Xu Shan simply watched everything like a spectator. He just waited for the victor, to ask for directions. This battle had nothing to do with them. It was a cruel world. He had no reason to involve himself in other people's problems. 

Unfortunately, the Assassins thought otherwise. For the Guards, Xu Shan was with the Assassins. However, for the assassins, he was with the guards. For both of them, he was the enemy. 

After killing all the remaining guards, all the assassins turned their attention to Xu Shan...

Xu Shan was still focused on the battle between the Leader of Assassins and the Captain of the Guards, which was getting even more intense. 

If these two were in the Celestial Realm, they would've been very well known, and maybe leaders of some powerful group. However, here, one person was a mere guard, and another an assassin. 

"Huh?" Suddenly, Xu Shan felt some killing intent being directed toward him. 

He looked back, seeing a sharp spear coming straight for his head. 

His figure flickered, leaving an after image behind. 

The spear passed through his afterimage, while Xu Shan appeared a few meters to the left. 

"Aren't you targeting the wrong person?" Xu Shan asked, with his hands behind his back. "Well, while I have your attention, could you help me with some directions?"

The Assassins were initially surprised by Xu Shan's speed, but seeing him talk to them like that, they felt as if he was mocking them. 

"You have a sharp tongue!" The Assassins rushed together, attacking Xu Shan. 

However, Xu Shan once again disappeared. He appeared above the carriage in the distance. 

"You people have some real anger issues. You should do something about that, before I start helping you with that..."

He comfortably sat above the carriage, looking at the assassins in the distance. 

Even the Captain of the Guards and the Leader of the Assassins noticed the movement of Xu Shan, even while they were busy in their own battles. The Captain of the Guards frowned, wondering why Xu Shan was fighting his own people?

It made him realize that maybe he was wrong and Xu Shan was actually not an enemy. Not only was he not an Enemy, but he could be their biggest asset!

Even though Xu Shan hadn't fought yet, just his speed alone was enough to reveal that he wasn't weak. 

"Please protect the carriage! If we survive this ordeal, we'll reward you heavily!" The Captain of the Guards roared at the top of his lungs, directing his word to Xu Shan. 

"Huh?" Xu Shan raised his head, looking at the Captain of the Guards in the sky. 

He didn't need any rewards. He only wanted directions, and he didn't need to help anyone for that. 

Unfortunately, the words of the man convinced the Assassins that Xu Shan was with them. This was also what the man wanted. He wanted to drag Xu Shan into this conflict, after realizing that he was skillful. 

Even Xu Shan realized what he was trying to do. It was a cunning trick indeed. 

"No one can stop us today!" The Leader of the Assassins exclaimed. 

He also issued his commands to his men, "Kill that man at any cost!"

Xu Shan scratched the back of his head, before his figure disappeared again. He appeared high in the sky, right behind the Captain of the Guards, who was stunned. Even the Leader of the Assassins was taken aback. That speed certainly didn't fall behind in comparison to theirs.

Before the Captain of the Guards could understand what was happening, he felt a cold hand on the back of his neck, gripping him tightly. 

In the next second, his body came crashing down. His face was thrashed on the rocky surface, making his face bleed. 

After smashing his head on the ground, Xu Shan once again raised him up, before speaking, "I don't like when others scheme against me."

In the distance, all the Assassins were taken aback as well. Wasn't this guy supposed to be working for the Captain of the Guards? Why was he beating his own boss? Did they have some disagreement?

Xu Shan tossed the man back. 

The Captain of the Guards pushed his body up. His face was covered in blood, which he wiped with his sleeves. His eyes looked at Xu Shan in disbelief and anger. 

Xu Shan didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes, looking at him from inside the carriage. 

The Leader of the Assassins also landed on the ground, frowning heavily. 

"Who are you?" The Captain of the Guards and the Leader of the Assassins asked at the same time. 

As they both finished speaking, they looked at each other, realizing that the other person didn't know either. Xu Shan didn't work with either of them. 

Moreover, Xu Shan was very young, yet his strength wasn't weaker than them. A youngster who was this capable... There were only a few people like that in the Divine Realm, and all belonged to places that they couldn't even hope to approach!

If Xu Shan was one of those people, then hurting him was no different than signing their own death sentence!

"It doesn't matter who I am," Xu Shan said. "I just want some directions! Answer my question and I'll be on my way. Then you two can continue playing around, and it won't have anything to do with me!" 

The Captain of the Guards gulped heavily. If he could convince Xu Shan to help them, then they could survive this ordeal. However, if that guy left, then it was only a matter of time before he was dead. 

He could fight the Leader of the Assassins, but when other Assassins were to come help, then he stood no chance! He knew he had to come up with a plan!
