SON OF THE RULER
Episode 182 "War I"
On the other hand, the hundred assassins who were fighting against the ten thousand Zhang imperial troops had now three days passed and already had more than five thousand of their men killed including some of its commanders. The situation of the hundred was also not much worse, due to the lack of people and the war that did not know when it would end it made them not have time to rest.
The realm of those hundred assassins was a peak level saint, however the only reason why they did not exert full force to finish off the enemy in a single strike was that the four wind demon lords and imperial emperor Zhang had still not moved at all. They could only wait and hold on as long as possible until the main force arrived.
The hundred assassins were protecting an empire, but the empire itself was unaware that they were being protected. Of course they have a great reason to do this, because in the time of the first Judgement this low realm fell into a darkness where the demons almost controlled eighty percent of the entire low realm.
At that time, not knowing how many lives had been lost, it might even have reached millions. The smell of blood, body parts, human bones scattered everywhere. It was the darkest time ever felt by man in the lower realms, never would a single person be at peace in their sleep. The presence of the Penghakim palace, brought a ray of hope to mankind that finally hope was finally achieved.
Given how dark the times were and how hard they fought they certainly did not want those dark times to come back.
Currently, the battle field was filled with the smell of blood flowing like a river and pieces of human bodies were strewn everywhere. Gazing at that, Mao Tzu's expression turned extremely dark.
"Junk!! The trash group! Even killing a hundred people is not a waste!.." Shouted angrily Mao Tzu.
"Haha.... Your Majesty, you needn't be so angry. This time, let me show you a small part of my strength.." Mao Gu said with a happy laugh. He looked happy either because it was Mao Tzu's ugly expression or he found an opponent who made his blood boil.
After saying so, Mao Gu leaped up high, aiming at the assassin leader he swung his claws downwards.
That assassin leader who sensed danger from above his head, immediately he slashed the neck of his current opponent then used his sword to resist Mao Gu's attack.
"Trank!!!.."
Mao Gu's claws looked extremely hard and sharp, even when clashing with a sword it created sparks.
"Not bad hahaha..." Mao Gu laughed and licked his paws.
"Eventually one of them moved as well, not knowing if I could defeat him or not.." The inner leader of the assassin stared intently at Mao Gu.
"You're the leader of all these people, right?.." Mao Gu asked with a cynical smile.
"Lack the crap! We fight to the death!.." Said the assassin leader then darted forward and swung his sword towards Mao Gu's neck.
"Hehehe... You're so excited, can't wait to die?.." Mao Gu said leisurely and laughed contemptuously. The next second he caught the sword that was pointing towards his neck easily.
The assassin's eyes widened in surprise, but it was only a moment before he drenched his sword with a red hot flame.
Mao Gu instantly removed his hand from the sword as he felt extremely hot.
Mao Gu looked at his enemy cynically, "Red fire, is that the fire of anger?.." He asked, shaking his hand from the red flames before.
"You know you're still asking!.." The leader of the assassin, formed a hand seal and from above Mao Gu appeared a round magic circle and was filled with strange carvings and ancient writings.
Mao Gu looked up with a disdainful smile, "Such powerful technique, it seems that you have a high position in that palace."
"From now on you only know how to babble like a barking dog!.." The assassin leader opened his eyes and shouted, "Fire rage, blow up for me!!.."
"Swosh!!!.."
A red fireball as big as a mountain shot out from the magic circle and shot down like a meteor.
The domineering hot aura, turned the war atmosphere into silence instantly. Everyone looked up with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open. Everyone thought this was the end of their lives, but not with those hundred assassins. They smiled then jumped up and regrouped together with their leader.
"Death to the despicable devil!!.." Shouted all the assassins simultaneously.
Desperation was clearly on the faces of every Zhang imperial army, they thought they should not fight against that group of assassins.
Seeing that Mao Gu instantly became annoyed, "Hmph!! The rubbish is rubbish!! Look how I destroyed that fire of anger!!.." His shout as it formed a hand seal swiftly, and the next second, an extremely black energy ball that was as large as the flames of anger, shot upwards like a bullet.
"Booommm!!!."
An extremely violent explosion occurred when the flames of anger and the black energy ball collided. The explosion occurred in the sky, but still made the ground shake like an earthquake.
"Uggghhhkk!!.. Shit!!.." The assassin leader cursed and spewed blood. He could not believe it turned out that the demon could block the fire attack of his anger, moreover at this time he seemed to have run out of energy and made him fall and kneel.
His subordinates immediately helped him stand up, "Leader, you rest, then leave it to us!!.." All those assassins instantly surrounded their leader and protected him.
"Haha... Only ants like you think you can defeat me? Ahahaha!!!!.." Mao Gu said and laughed out loud. He felt that everyone in front of him right now was very stupid, obviously they could see if the flames of anger alone could be contained easily, but instead they still thought of continuing to fight back? Moreover, the hundred people were now surrounded from all directions. And the only thing they can do is, form a circle and protect their leader in the middle.
The situation of all the assassins was really bad, as they had fought four days and four nights non-stop with their meagre numbers, making them now almost exhausted of all their energy. Plus their energy is reduced continuously because they do not drink and eat, making them now in a very difficult position.
The assassin leader looked at his members with an unbearable gaze, inwardly, he should not involve his members. As a leader, the lives of its members are its responsibility.
The assassin leader then shook his head and said, "You all run and save your lives, I still have a little energy, while I will hold them back.." He said and got up slowly.
