The Romance Of The Thousand Loves
CH. 55. PITHY SMILE

"Young people don't try to fool us. Even if you are the young master of the great family of the Maurya Empire we are not willing to kill you." Threaten one of the men in a black mask while pointing his gun at Hendra's neck. Hendra was already very frightened to see the silver knife hurt his neck slightly, blood was flowing slightly from the wound.

"Really sir. As long as the master releases me and the members, we will give him the treasure and the young woman." Replied Hendra shivering as he removed the space ring from his finger. His entire bodyguard was downed and helpless.

"The ring contains a spell that only I can activate. Master won't get anything if it kills me." Hendra said as he handed his ring to the hand of the black masked man in front of him.

The man receives and examines Hendra's ring and discovers that it does indeed have a soul spell specifically made to recognize the ring's soul.

"This ring must have something very valuable in it. Even the Holy Ancestor realm was unable to unravel the spell in this ring except for its owner." The masked man was amazed.

"Alright now release this spell and you can leave except for the young girl." The masked man coldly spoke while looking at Silvie lustfully.

"Ba.good.. But promise me you'll let go of our lives." Said Hendra timidly.

"Sad... Your low lives do not deserve to tarnish our swords. There's no way you're still alive if we want to kill you." The masked man's words threatened and gave off a killing aura.

"Ba. good sir..." Denas then took the blood coming out of the wound on his neck and then applied it to the surface of the ring held by the masked man.

The spell of the fencer unravelled little by little and disappeared without remaining. Afterwards Hendra and his guards left except for Silvie and his grandfather.

"Hoo.. Old grandpa. Looks like you wouldn't be willing if your granddaughter left with us. Do you want to die?" Threatening the masked man in the Ancestor realm while emitting his killing aura tried to suppress grandfather Lao.

Grandfather Lao who from earlier was silent and inaction suddenly widened his eyes and smiled mockingly.

"Hoo.. The Black Assassin organization had no idea who it was dealing with." Grandpa Lao's cold voice was like a windstorm that took off just about anything.

Just using the pressure from his voice had already killed the masked men in the Saint realm downwards and left the masked man of the Ancestor realm sitting and terrified.

"What's?.. What's this. What the hell's going on? Whoareyou? How do you know our organization? No way, this is impossible." The masked man shivered in fear as he saw that all his men had died without being visibly injured at all.

"Ammpuun.. Ammpuun... Justjust please.. Please don't kill me." The masked man kowtowed for help to the man in front of him. The old man looked at the masked man with a contemptuous look.

"Have you ever let go of someone asking for help while prostrating yourself to you and not killing him?" Grandpa Lao grabbed the collar of the masked man's shirt and lifted him up.

The man was pale. He can't do anything. Now he understands the fears of those he killed. Fear of death coming. Lakk-man pissed in his pants so scared.

"Ammpuunn.. Justjust please.. Don't kill me..." The masked man moved his feet that could not touch the ground.

Grandpa Lao was like a starving male lion that was about to pounce on its prey to the point that it made Silvie a little frightened. Grandpa Lao took off the mask of the man. The somewhat old face with the scar looked so pale. His eyes radiated a deep fear. I don't know what Grandpa Lao did that made the man so pale.

"Tell me who is the chairman of the Black Assassin right now?" Elder Lao asked by suppressing his voice.

"We are a new organization.. Not many people know about this organization... Except the chairman. and the deputy... I'm just a messenger in the organization." The masked man was terrified.

"How many are you?"

"We. about a thousand people.. more"

"Tell me your name and what was your mission here?" Grandpa Lao lowered the person to the ground in order to speak clearly.

"My name is Adit my mission here is to rob people through this road. It doesn't matter who it is." Adit answered while stroking his sore neck. His fear disappeared a little as soon as his body touched the ground.

"Who are the names of your chairman and vice-chairman?" Grandfather Lao again asked in a threatening tone.

"The chairman was named Arifansyah and the vice chairman was named Permana." Adit replied smoothly.

Grandpa Lao was silent for a moment looking thoughtful.

"Take me to your base and your life will be saved." Grandpa Lao's speech gave off a killing aura.

"Okay, senior.. Alrighty.. Come with me." Said Adit frightened and quickly got up.

"Where are we going?" Silvie asked the direction they were heading while taking out a map.

"Retain that map. The man will lead us to where many anchovies are." Grandpa Lao replied briefly.

......................

Ggrrooaarr......

Wuuushhhss.....

A deafening roar rang out from within the wide passageway accompanied by a strong wind that blew away several members of the Azure Dragon sect.

"Ugh.. What's this.. A level nine Mythical Beast? Finish our history." Mumbled one of the Azure Dragon Sect members.

"Basic coward. The Azure Dragon Sect had never been afraid of death. Stop whining in front of strangers will only embarrass the sect." Say more than any other member.

Boommmm...

A level nine Mythical Beast appeared in front of them. A red Lion had two tails and a golden mane adorned his neck. The lion had become an undead which meant that he was weaker than his lifetime yet he would not die as long as there was no spell to stop him. His fierce eyes stared at the humans in front of him.

Tang Xiao smiled widely. "It looks like this undead is suitable for the practice of the little Crow" Tang Xiao said inwardly.

"Everyone should not be afraid. I have a pet that's capable of playing with that animal." Tang Xiao's exclaimed calmed down the Azure Dragon Sect members who started to look frightened.

"Get out little pepit." Tang Xiao muttered.

"Good Master."

Suddenly a small portal appeared above Tang Xiao's head. From that small portal appeared an extremely beautiful nine-colored sparrow.

Denas and the Azure Dragon sect members were wide-eyed at that.

"Third brother, you want to let this little squeak fight that three-meter-high sing?" Denas asked in disbelief.

"Stop playing with those little sparrows Look at that lion in front of you. Kill the lion while we go down the aisle." Said Tang Xiao in a commanding tone to the little pipit that flew in front of him.

Wuush...

That little peek turned into a black huge crow with a cultivation of level nine late stage Half Saint.

No doubt, everyone was amazed to see that mighty crow that without flapping its wings had floated in the air.

"Crazy, What kind of Mythical Beast is that? Only level nine was already at the Half Saint stage?" The people around me were in disbelief.

Another case with Denas who saw the crow. He seems to know the crow.

"Third raven, is that really your pet?" Denas asked in disbelief.

"Yes of course. Ask if you don't believe. Oh, you seem to know that crow?" Tang Xiao asked curiously.

Denas nodded. "Try third brother don't have to guess what I have to say." Say Denas a little pouty.

"Haha.. Unfortunately, your eyes can't cover it." Said Tang Xiao.

"Master how do I look cool, right?" The voice of the Crow Ruler can be heard by everyone. That huge, thunderous voice sounded so terrifying in the ears of the Azure Dragon Sect members. However what made them shocked was that this Half Saint Crow in front of them summoned Tang Xiao as a master. I don't know what this young man did so that the Half Saint Crow was willing to obey him, thought those people.

"Hoo... Yes yes cool. Quickly face the lion before I bake you." Threaten Tang Xiao.

"Good master. But it'll probably be a little long." Said the Crow who immediately slid towards the lion who already looked irritated.

A fight between two high-level Mythical Beasts occurred. The large and wide hallway was shaking. The stir of agility and speed between the two Mythical Beasts was inevitable.

"Third brother, your pet crow is a little narcissistic. Look at his fighting style that humbles the enemy. I suspect maybe he's mimicking her from third sister." Said Denas while watching the fight.

"From the beginning I met the Crow was already narcissistic. Maybe because his bloodline made him that way." Reply Tang Xiao while folding both of his hands.

"There's no way his honorable lineage made him that way. I'm still curious how third brother can subdue a level nine Half Saint Mythical Beast even a three-star Holy Ancestor realm isn't necessarily capable" Denas said as he looked at Tang Xiao from the side unbeknownst to him.

"That's easy. I gave her what she wanted as long as she wanted to sign a contract with me." Tang Xiao replied casually without knowing Denas was watching him intently.

"It can't be that simple. The Mythical Beast Half Saint was not something that one could bargain for at the five-star Saint realm. That crow could have killed third brother without having to contract with a weak cultivator." Reply Denas was still watching Tang Xiao.

"Somehow I'm lucky to have a contract with him. I guess he's a little stupid." Said Tang Xiao leisurely.

Denas frowned then turned his head towards the fight of the Crow and Tiger who looked one-sided and impressed the Crow was playing with the Lion who attacked desperately.

"A ninth-rate Half Saint Mythical Beast was fooled by a five-star Saint realm cultivator, which fool believed that?" Denas muttered again looking at Tang Xiao from the side.

"Pffit... Fourth sister doesn't need to be that serious. We'd better get this hallway back. Who knows if there's something interesting." Said Tang Xiao with a smile towards Denas who had turned his face before Tang Xiao turned his head towards him.

"It doesn't matter if the fourth brother won't tell me his secret." Denas muttered as he followed Tang Xiao from behind.

"No need to frown so later the handsome is gone. Sister promised one day sister would tell me how to get it. For a while let the little Crow play around later if he is bored he can catch up with himself." Say Denas while stroking Denas' head.

"Your fourth sister's hair is really soft much softer than mine. What shampoo did the fourth sister use?" Tang Xiao said, stroking Tang Xiao's hair again.

Denas removed Tang Xiao's hand from his head.

"I'll tell you the secret if third brother wants to tell you how you bowed the crow." Answer Denas as he passes.

"Pff... Fourth sister still hasn't given up yet." Tang Xiao's reply followed Denas.

Tang Xiao went back down that long, wide passageway. Now they stopped in a hallway with three doors. Each door has a different sign. The right door has a skull head with eyes on it. The middle door bears the sign of a circular serpent with a raised head and an outstretched tongue. The left door contained a picture of a person sitting on a pile of corpses holding two bloodied swords.

Each door leads to the next hallway but must pass through one of the doors with a high level of danger. Tang Xiao and the others humbled in thinking which door to pass through.

"The right side door must be we must pass through countless skeleton undead. The door in the middle must be us passing through dangerous snakes that have deadly poison. On the left there must be some crazy psychopath waiting and slaughtering anyone who passes by." Denas muttered while stroking his chin a sign he was thinking.

"Then we pass that door on the left. Who knows, that man has long since died because a long time has passed and no one has come here but us after decades have passed." Say Denas firmly full of confidence.

"Yes, it could be so. It is impossible for any human being to be able to live more than three hundred thousand years. That man must be dead." The other timpal.

"What if he's not dead?" Ask Denas floating.

"So then we just need to bribe him with something he won't be able to resist." Tang Xiao replied casually.

"What if he refuses?" Ask Denas again.

"That means he's not human. No human being is capable of rejecting the offer of something he cannot refuse." Tang Xiao replied lightly.

Denas silently thought about the meaning of Tang Xiao's njlimet speech.

"Well we follow the proposal of the third brother." Denas finally gave up. There were actually many doubts he thought about. However if he continued to argue with his third brother would only make him even more disagree.

Tang Xiao smiled. "Look, I'll protect you." Tang Xiao said then walked over to the left door with a human mark holding two swords on top of a pile of corpses.

The large door leaf contained some strange carvings such as ritual worship, ritual sacrifice and some other mysterious rituals. The strange images were engraved directly on the door leaf using something very sharp.

On the door leaf there is the inscription "If you want to enter the door is required to worship the ancestors three times and then wipe the blood of everyone on the door leaf then the door will know the owner."

"It's so haughty this writing. What is this fooling. Accept my bow." Tang Xiao said in disbelief then kicked the door leaf.

Boommmm...

The huge door shattered into pieces and opened one very dark and stinky hallway out of the hallway. The Azure Dragon sect members who could not bear the smell immediately vomited.

Wussh..

Tang Xiao waved his hand at the passageway and instantly came out a very strong wind that was able to blow away all the foul smells. The dark and smelly hallway was instantly bright due to the fire torches that suddenly lit up on each wall of the passage.

Tang Xiao, Denas and the others immediately entered the already doorless passageway.

"Be careful this hallway has many traps." Denas shouted at the person behind him.

Sruutt's...

Not finished Denas spoke, an iron arrow had hit one of their members. It was fortunate that the arrow did not hit his vital point and could still be healed easily.

Before long, dozens of arrows shot towards Tang Xiao's group. The longer the arrow gets stronger. Tang Xiao waved his hand as soon as a golden-coloured energy shield appeared that protected his group from the arrow-head.

Shortly after the arrows stopped, Tang Xiao and his group resumed their journey without anyone being seriously injured.

After half a burning incense stick, Tang Xiao and his group were again faced on hundreds of stone golems the size of three meters. The golems attacked Tang Xiao's group ferociously. This time Denas forward took out his fan and against the hundreds of golems alone.

"Let me shine this time." Denas said as he continued to target the heads of the hard-skinned stone golems.

Denas leaped from one golem to another beautifully. Denas just slapped his head.

"Even though their skin is hard, but their movement is very slow." Murmured Denas from above the Golem.

Unfortunately, the pleasure of Denas was only temporary. As soon as Denas jumped on top of the twentieth golem, suddenly the entire remaining golem transformed.

Their size which was originally three meters high turned into the size of a normal human. The Golem that was originally stone-bodied, turned a black iron Golem. Much harder than a stone iron golem.

Bommm...

The speed of the golems increased drastically. Denas was almost unable to avoid the attack from the golems who turned to look for him.

Hup..

Denas jumped several meters back to see the situation that had changed. But unfortunately the iron golems did not give Denas a chance to rest. They immediately hunted Denas who jumped back.

"Ho so you guys want to get serious? Alright." Said Denas grinning widely. Denas increases its attack power and speed.

Denas very much saw playing his cotton. Once swinging, two iron Golem heads slipped from his body. Once again swinging, two iron golem heads detached from his body.

The members of the Azure Dragon Sect were so amazed to see Denas facing the golems with agility and strength.

"Young master Denas is clearly stronger than the young elder." Mumbled one of the members.

"It is only fitting that the young elder would be willing to raise a brother with the young master Denas and the young master Tang Xiao as well as the young master Andri." The other words chimed.

"Yes right. The three young masters foster brother young elders are geniuses among geniuses." Say something else.

"It's lucky that a young elder could marry one of them." Mumbled another.

"Hussein.. They became foster brothers. But what was strange was how the young master could meet each other and make friends even raised brothers." Say something else.

"Well that's not important. What matters now is how we fight those golems if young master Denas fails to fight them all." Another one full of worry.

"The fourth sister is almost done." Denas' words quickly chimed in the chirping of the Azure Dragon sect members. Tang Xiao just silently listened to their words.

They glanced at Denas who had already nearly killed the entire iron golem. They were shocked and did not realize it. Shortly after, Denas managed to kill all the iron golems.

Denas jumped backwards filled with sweat and breath gasping for breath. Tang Xiao held out an extremely soft white cotton handkerchief. At the end of the handkerchief was embroidered Tang Xiao's name.

Denas received the cotton handkerchief with a sweet smile. He had noticed a golden thread embroidered with Tang Xiao's name. Then carefully Denas wiped the sweat that poured out of his forehead with the handkerchief.

Tang Xiao looked stunned for a moment as Denas smiled sweetly at him. "The fourth sister is much prettier than the second brother if she smiles. Fourth sister is more suitable to be a woman" Inner Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao again extended a bottle of water to Denas whom he received with a sweet smile again.

"The third brother turned out to be so considerate." Murmuring Denas while receiving a bottle of mineral water from Tang Xiao without forgetting to float a sweet smile that he did not know, that smile made Tang Xiao addicted to his smile.

Deerr....

The bodies of the iron golems lying on the ground suddenly moved and united to form one giant iron golem ten meters tall until its head touched the ceiling of the passageway.

"Crazy... Especially this." The muttered Azure Dragon Sect members were surprised to see a gigantic monster in front of them that was on par with a five-star Holy Ancestor realm cultivator.

"Ughs.. A monstrous monster like this if it came out of this passageway could flatten one Kingdom." Denas muttered while tightly grasping the cotton handkerchief in his hand as if afraid that the handkerchief was snatched by the giant golem in front of him.

"Hmmm.. This golem is. There's a ninth-grade chrisatal in his head." Tang Xiao muttered as he shook his right arm as if he was about to do a fist in the ring.

"Third brother what are you doing?" Ask Denas a little worried. She did not know what kind of strength Tang Xiao had.

"Just calm down, don't be afraid. Your third brother will protect you. Take a good look and let me shine again." Tang Xiao replied casually.

Wussh...

Tang Xiao jumped up high while brandishing his fists. The giant golem greeted Tang Xiao's fist with a fist that was larger than Tang Xiao's entire body and the two different fist sizes clashed against each other.

Broml...

A powerful explosion shook the passageway where Tang Xiao and the giant golem clashed. The air fluctuation of the two fists caused some Azure Dragon sect members to crash.

Hup..

Tanh Xiao leapt back to where he was before clashing with the giant golem. While the giant golem was already a flake of iron powder and left only energy crystals as big as a human head.

"Part nine energy crystals?" The muttered Azure Dragon sect members were in disbelief.
