“That bastard! He ran too fast!”
“Did anyone see his face? I wasn’t able to since he has a Mask covering it.”
“The colour of his eyes isn’t common, we can try using that to narrow down our search list.”
A General suggested and hearing him, the other Generals thought about it and then nodded in agreement.
Indeed, Golden Coloured eyes weren’t common, they could use that as the base of their search.
“Yes, and he had a well-built physique as well,”
Soon, other Generals started pointing out what they noticed and an imaginary picture of Nux was created.
Golden Eyes, muscular built, fair skin and 1.9 meters tall, with this, they had high chances of finding this person.
“General!”
Suddenly, a soldier rushed toward the Generals and shouted.
“What happened?”
“General, the Deputy Generals who fought against that assassin,”
“Yes, what happened to them?”
“They all are dead!”
The Soldier reported with a panicked look on his face.
The Generals looked at each other and narrowed their eyes, from the time the presence of an assassin was revealed to the now, only 15 minutes had passed.
Was this soldier insinuating that in these 15 minutes, not only did that assassin manage to escape from the grasp of their entire army camp, but he was also able to Kill 6 Expert Stage Cultivators?
Just how is that possible?
“Take us there.”
A General ordered with a solemn look on his face.
“Yes, General.”
The Soldier saluted, then, he turned around and started running towards the tent where Nux and the six Deputy Generals fought against each other.
The Generals followed the soldier and soon, a strong scent of blood assaulted their noses. Their expression turned solemn and then, they entered the tent.
“This…”
One of the Generals couldn’t believe his eyes.
“We were waiting for the Generals’ orders, therefore, we did not do anything.”
The Soldier inside the room muttered with a pale look on his face, obviously, he was scared.
Not from the Generals, but from the sight in front of him.
“You did well, you can leave now.”
One of the Generals nodded. The Soldier nodded back and then, he rushed out of the tent.
Then, a solemn look appeared on the Generals’ faces.
“They were killed in a Single Move.”
A General muttered.
“Yes, and with how clean the cut on their neck is combined with how the assassin was able to run away after attacking using an attack like this, it is clear that the assassin was holding back and still hadn’t used his full power.”
Another General spoke.
“You guys…”
Suddenly, a General spoke up, gaining everyone’s attention.
“Do you think you guys can Kill 6 Expert Stage Cultivators in one move and then escape from 4 King Stage Cultivators?”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Nobody answered, however, that silence was an answer itself.
“D-Does that mean that man was stronger than us?”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Again, no one answered.
“Yes.”
After a long silence, a voice was heard.
The 4 Generals frowned and then, they turned to where that voice came from.
“Armando…”
All the Generals recognised the man who had just entered the tent.
“That assassin is stronger than all of us.”
“How do you know about it?”
Armando then pointed at his injuries and answered,
“I just fought him.”
The expressions on the Generals’ faces turned solemn.
“You lost against him?”
A General questioned.
“No, I did not lose, however, if he wasn’t in a hurry, I am sure he could have killed me.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Again, the whole tent turned silent.
First, that assassin sneaked inside their camp, then, he sneaked passed the Soldiers and entered the Tent where 6 Expert Stage Cultivators slept.
He then got caught, and the whole army camp learned about him, however, that man simply killed the 6 Expert Stage Cultivators, dashed outside and right in front of the entire Army Camp, he ran away.
And as if this wasn’t enough, the man also fought against a King Stage Cultivator and was able to injure him.
Just what kind of monster was that!?
Does he not get tired!?
The Generals were confused.
“Wait…”
Suddenly, a General spoke and then, he looked at Armando.
“How did you catch him?”
And as if he was prepared for this question, Armando answered without missing a beat.
“I did not catch him, he just appeared right in front of me and my subordinate while we were returning to the Camp.”
“Returning? Where did you go?” The General narrowed his eyes.
“We had some work to do.”
Armando gave a vague answer and since their position was the same, the other Generals didn’t have any authority to question any further.
“So does that mean that this assassin was a King Stage Cultivator?”
Another General questioned.
“Yes, he is a King Stage Cultivator and a very strong one at that.”
“Was he sent by the Woods Dynasty?”
Armando shook his head,
“That, I do not know.”
“It has to be, right? Who else would be daring enough to attack our army camp?”
Another General muttered.
“That is true…”
“But… But there are no records of the Woods Dynasty having such a powerful assassin in their ranks.”
“Yes, I have never heard about this assassin before either.”
“If the Woods Dynasty had an assassin like this under their command, then why didn’t they use him more often? Why is he not well known?”
“We do not…”
The Generals continued to discuss while one of them ordered the soldiers to take care of the dead bodies and prepared their burial.
The whole army camp was in chaos for the next few hours and the man who was responsible for all this,
Well, he was just lying down on the ground, looking at the stars with a small smile on his face.
‘I guess it’s time to return, huh…’
Thinking that, the man closed his eyes and the next moment, he disappeared and reappeared many miles away, on top of a bed, where a certain woman with a lean physique and icy blue eyes was waiting for him.
‘Hello, love~’
