Chapter 493 - The Vineyard Madness (part-2) (1/2)

Thousand Faces lounged on a chaise lounge that was overlooking the garden as he sipped from the glass of wine.

'Ah, this is a fine wine indeed it is such a shame that I had to kill the makers of such a fine wine, the idiot brother was so helpful, well after my job is complete I will simply leave him to take the fall while I disappear into the winds, and as for Shangri-la the Universe is a huge one I doubt they would waste too much resources to find a 3rd rank Celestial Immortal like me when I would have some perfectly lined scapegoats to take the fall, though I hope that the idiot would not have managed to bungle...'

His internal monologue came to a screeching halt as one of the servants of the villa came flying over towards his location, and would have collided with him if he had not cut the servant into two by using his sabre.

”My my what a crooked person are you killing your own loyal servant.”

A voice came to his ears as he turned to look towards a grinning red-headed person with mismatched eyes, behind him stood an old man sipping from a cup of tea without a care of the world.

Thousand Faces turned red with anger as he spoke, ”Who dares to brazenly attack me in this manner?”, as he spoke he let loose his killing intent as well as his KI blanketing the entire area.

The red-headed person simply placed his hand over his heart as he spoke with a mock shock on his face, ”How cruel are you about giving me that invitation through your minion's hands you are now failing to recognize Me.”, he then closed his eyes as he spoke in a chiding manner, ”Tut, tut clearly someone has not given you some is in need of his lessons on etiquette.”

It took a moment for him to realize the identity of the intruder as he spoke with a smirk, ”Ho so the mouse decided to play a visit at the lion's mouth, and from the looks of it the idiot may not have failed completely.”

”Ah where are my manners.”, with that Ryuu raised his hand right hand high up in the air while his left found its way behind his back before with a circular motion he moved his hand in a way so as to bring the palm on top of his heart as he tilted his head slightly before speaking, ”My name is Ryuu and I am the current General Manager of the Kuvosie branch.”

”I see my name is…”

Ryuu waved him off as he spoke, ”Please, I am not your coroner so please there is no need to say me your name.”

Thousand Faces' jaws tighten as a burst of loud laughter came to everyone's ears as Ryuu looked towards the source of the laugh he was greeted by other men, with one of them looking bored and the other looking amused and as Ryuu studied them briefly the amused person spoke with a mocking edge in his voice, ”Brother can we keep the jester to entertain us, there is no need to waste him.”

Thousand Faces snarled as he spoke, ”Well we will see how he performs the task but before that capture him.”

Yu Wu was very nervous, she stood a good distance away from the place where the supposed Celestial was staying and then they learned the truth that there was no one but a group of three Celestial staying there.

Yu Wu was very nervous as she knew that a battle might break out any moment and every second seemed like an eternity to her, she was beginning to feel faint when all of a sudden the estate in front of her exploded in showers of wood and stone.

Before she could react she was bombarded by a mixture of killing intent and KI and for the first time, she clearly understood the reason why she felt such fear from Ryuu, even if he was below a level his KI was much denser and refined in comparison that of the Celestials by quite a margin, not to mention the tyrannical killing intent.

'What is he? Such blood l.u.s.t and dense KI, I never seen or heard not to mention the domineering feeling from him, just what is he?'

Her musings were cut short as a small chuckle came from her side as she turned to look towards Yamamoto she was greeted by an amused smile on his face as he spoke, ”Brilliant is he not.”

”How just what is he?

Yamamoto simply smirked as he spoke, ”There are normal cultivators, then there are so called genius's and then there is Ryuu, he is very strong compared to those of his age and level, now watch the show.”

Ryuu tilted his head as a sabre slash missed him by a hair breadth, and as the saber passed from above his head he felt the sabre force tickling his skin but he did not stop there as he made a quick turn before sending a vicious kick toward Thousand Faces ribs which made him grunt in pain as a sickening crack was heard as his ribs were broken.

As Thousand Faces moved away from Ryuu trying to get some distance between them, Ryuu suddenly raised his left hand towards his side a spear shot out of it and a figure was forced to retreat, Ryuu did not even turn as he knew that the person was one of Thousand Faces' companions who had tried to flank him.

Genesis returned to his hand as he twirled it swatting away any and all arrows from harming him before he dashed towards the archer who was none other than the person who had called him a jester.

Ryuu weaved and dodged through any arrows with complete ease as reached his goal, and as he moved a look of panic seemed to form on the archer's face which suddenly was replaced with a smirk as he spoke out, ”Got you, Smoldering Rain.”
