Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Chapter 183 183: Can't ask for more

The General was quite taken aback to find another person here, especially since he didn't sense when Xu Shan even arrived here.

"I don't know about help, but if you can hold the other back for a few minutes, I can definitely end them both," General Xue told Xu Shan, his lips twitching in frustration.

For Xu Shan to be able to approach him so easily, he was convinced that Xu Shan wasn't weak. And even after all that, he was simply watching from the sidelines, waiting to be asked for health.

It felt like arrogance and selfishness to the General, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it. At the moment, he could use all the help he could need.

"Since you asked so nicely," Xu Shan pulled out his daggers, approaching the General who was fighting the Two Demons.

The General swung his sword, sending one of the Demons back by a few steps, but he still didn't have a moment to relax. The other Demon attacked him.

The First Demon also attacked him. For some reason, both the Demons ignored Xu Shan who was coming closer.

The Demon swung his claws.

"Can't you-" the General spoke in frustration as he raised his other sword to block the second attack, but before he could finish, he saw Xu Shan appear before the Second Demon, blocking the attack with his dagger. Sparks flew everywhere.

With a swift and calculated move, Xu Shan countered the Demon's strike and unleashed a flurry of rapid strikes, forcing the creature to retreat.

Meanwhile, the General used this momentary distraction to deliver a powerful blow to the First Demon, sending it crashing to the ground. The battle continued as the two men fought against the Demons, with their backs against each other.

Seeing Xu Shan's strength, General Xue finally felt that the situation in this place was somewhat under control.

With only one Demon to face, he could easily take care of it.

He raised both his swords. A blazing flame started burning on the flames while the General used his Celestial Energy. At the same time, an Illusory Celestial Spirit appeared next to him, made purely from flames, having a humanoid figure.

"It's time for you to return to hell!" General Xue exclaimed, watching the Demon running towards him.

Putting his all behind his attack, the General brought his swords slashing down. A destructive wave of energy was unleashed, cutting through the air with incredible force.

The flames from the Illusory Celestial Spirit intensified, enveloping the Demon in a fiery inferno.

The Demon couldn't even roar as his body split in two halves. The attack finally dealt enough damage to pass through all its physical defense.

Even as the General used this much strength and felt tired, he knew that the battle wasn't over. Now he had to take care of the other Demon who was being held back by Xu Shan.

"I'll help you," he spoke as he turned around, but at that exact moment, he froze in place.

His pupils trembled in disbelief as he lowered his eyes, looking at a dagger that had stabbed straight into his heart.

A fair hand was holding on to the dagger. It was Xu Shan's hand, whose eyes had no shred of pity.

"You already helped me enough. I can't ask for more," Xu Shan's cold voice fell in the man's ears.

General Xue raised his hand. Even though his body was under the paralysis effect of the dagger, he still managedto raise his hand, grabbing Xu Shan's throat. Unfortunately, as soon as his hand touched Xu Shan's throat, he swung his other Dagger.

An arm flew off in the air, falling in the distance. General Xue roared like a wounded beast, his voice mixed with pain and fury.

Blood spurted from his severed arm, staining the ground crimson. Despite the excruciating pain coursing through his body, he couldn't do anything.

He could only watch as Xu Shan placed his hand on his forehead, "It's nothing personal..."

Xu Shan placed his hand on the man's head, and used the Soul Search. Usually, it would've been impossible to search the soul of such a powerful person without being considerably stronger, but with the effect of poison and his already strained psyche, it became a lot easier.

The man's mind was in chaos which made the attack feasible. Xu Shan delved deeper into the man's memories, searching for the information he needed.

The man felt even more pain. He could roar in pain, but there was no one here to listen. At the same time, the Demon had also stopped attacking, and it was walking toward the barrier as well, leaving the two men behind.

Thanks to his connection with the Inn Owner and the people behind this,Xu Shan was quite safe from these Demons. On the other hand, he took some extra steps as well.

The Dragon Source he used for the Formation was bound to him, which made the Demons feel a connection to him, and not attack him as long as he stopped attacking them. They didn't have enough mental aptitude to remember friendship or enmity.

As Xu Shan finished searching the Soul of the man, he was taken aback. The man had a really interesting life. Even though he couldn't be considered a child of destiny, but his aptitude was supreme. That's why he had managed to reach such a level.

Xu Shan wanted to read the memories of an ordinary soldier to understand the workings of the core City, but to his surprise, he found a General who knew much more.

In the General's memories, Xu Shan even saw the face of the Divine Queen, who the General had met a few times.

"As expected, you didn't disappoint me," Xu Shan spoke, as he took off his hands. The General simply dropped to his knees, his eyes blank.

He was still bleeding, but he didn't make a noise as if he couldn't even feel it.
