《Purple Lightning Emperor》Chapter 17
Advertisement
Standing alone in the dark alley with his body enshrouded by a blue transparent shield, Shad was surrounded by nine masked men in black clothing.
five 4th class warriors and four 3rd class warriors, a total of nine highly capable assassins.
For this group of people to go against Shad who was a mage and also had no experts or bodyguards following him was simply as easy as breaking an egg on a stone, so they thought!
Seeing the nine masked men standing formation after the first wave of surprise attacks had failed, Shad couldn't help but laugh bitterly in his heart.
' To be able to mobilize five silver level assassins and four copper level assassins against me, they are giving quite a high evaluation.' thought Shad.
Looking the nine assassins that surrounded him, Shad did not dare to relax a bit. Unlike the battles he had fought in the magic battle assessment against the other students, this people in front of him were the real deal.
His spiritual force spread out, surveying each of their movements. Those people were experts in killings. Not only that, they were all warriors, the nemesis of any mage.
Suddenly, two swords, which shone with a cold radiance stabbed forward! the two pair of eyes behind the masks emitted bloodthirst and cruelty. for some reasons, their strikes didn't aim to kill him in one hit like most assassins would do, but to render him into a disabled person as they were aiming for his mana pool.
Facing the two attacks, a variety of methods to deal with them flashed within Shad's mind.
Shad released the mana shield that was protecting his body from the previous attack, as he could not physically attack them while it was on. Not only it required a huge amount of mana, it also required him to use a large amount of spiritual force to keep it on.
As soon as the mana shield dissipated, the lightning that resided within his mana pool spread out within his body.
Its electricity pumping through his veins, crackling through him, traveling to every nerve in his body like a shock.
Time seemed to have stopped for a second, the two swords attack that seemed as though they as fast as lightning was moving in slow motions in Shad point of view. his eyes were flickering with a slight white flash of electric current, making him seemed as though his eyes were like two light bulbs flashing in the night.

Fwoooshhh!
Before the two sharp swords could even reach Shad, they suddenly stopped in midair. the two assassins felt as though two hands were quietly clasped their wrists.
they did not know when Shad moved from his previous location, But now, he was standing right in front of them as though he had always been there.
Being gripped by the wrist caused the two assassins to jump. Seeing the shallow smile on his face, the two assassins expressions greatly changed. Someone of their levels knew the significance of being grabbed by the wrists after just one move.
" Crack." Shad easily crushed each of the two assassins hands after putting some pressure into them.
" Snap." he then pulled on them. the two assassins hands were severed from their arms, causing blood to spurt everywhere as they miserably screamed." Ahhhhhhhh."
After their hands were ripped off by Shad, their killer instinct allowed them to immediately move backward, away from Shad.
Shad threw away the hands and looked at the leader of the masked men that was looking at him with bloodlust and killing intent. then he said. " Do you think that I am such an easy target that you will take your time to toy with me before killing me."
the Leader did not answer Shad but his eyes were radiating an intense killings intents.
he suddenly made a move with his hands and another two assassins charged through the air as one, their body radiating a fiery glow as they glided through the air akin to an eagle about to snatch a rabbit with two small daggers on their hands as they pounced toward Shad.
Unlike the previous two attackers, those two were 4th class level warriors. the difference between a 3rd class warriors and a 4th class warriors were like heaven and earth.
1st class warriors through 3rd class warriors are only able to channel their battle qi within their body making it stronger and faster, also slow down the effect of aging a little.
On the other hands, 4th class warriors through 6th class warriors were able to do both channels their qi inside as well as build up a shroud of battle qi aura around their body. it was like a small protection membrane that protects their body from both physical and elemental attack. its strength depends on their amount of battle qi.

Not only that, they were able to channel their battle qi on their weapons or cloak it as well making more durable and more lethal.
Seeing this two people coming to him as fast as lightning, Shad knew that the leader of the assassins group had started to take him more seriously as he just sent the big guns instead of the weaklings.
Chi Chi Chi~~~~~~~~
Rays of lighting like serpentine electric sparks coiled around his body and then rushed out and it was just as if they were materialized as they coiled around Shad's body like snakes.
They turned as he wished and became two lightning dragons. they roared as though they were real dragons coming to life and shot through the air directly onward in an unstoppable, imposing manner as if they will destroy any gods or devils who attempt to block them. Obviously, its power was fairly great.
Amidst the darkness of the night, these two lightning dragons were simply dazzling.
Bang~~~~
the two lightning dragons smashed against the assassins.
Everything happened too fast like a flint. Even the leader of the assassins couldn't react to what happened.
he only saw his two subordinates attack Shad and then he was enveloped by a bright light and a strong ripple of energy that shook him a few meters back.
when he raised his head and looked, the light had already dissipated. but, the scene in front of them stunned him. he discovered with shock that the two assassins he just sent to finish the target in one hit were laying on the ground.
their black robes were completely burnt up as smoke was coming out of them and their body burnt black. they already breathed no more and their bodies were emitting the smell of char. they died an extremely horrifying way.
This........
the remaining masked men including the leader cried out in fear, an expression of extreme horror fashed within their eyes. they all lost thought of killing Shad, hastily retracted their swords and retreated backward in an awkward manner.
their expressions after seeing the two lightning dragons as well the two burnt corpses of their comrades were akin to seeing a monster when they look at shad.
This was a strength that they simply could not defy!
Indeed, facing the fourth prince who just ascended to the senior mage ranks with their combined strength was like an adult fighting a child. However, what they saw tonight wasn't a new 4th class mage or a warrior, but a monster.
So far the fourth prince has not chant any spell, yet he could freely manipulate his lightning element. that was the first time they witnessed something outrageous and heaven-defying as this. Even a void mage has to chant a spell in order to activate their void magic.
Aside from that, his speed was something, not even a 5th class warrior could even dream of having.
Right now their minds were in turmoil. Furthermore, behind their masks, the faces' of the remaining assassins were filled with fear and a little bit of dilemma. Even though they were assassins by profession, they were still men who valued their own lives. if they were a chance to win, they would certainly fight it out. However, when facing a difficult mission with a 99% death rate, everyone could only choose to retreat.
In contrast, Shad was even more shock. he had created this move back when he was training in the mountains and had never tried on a living target, seeing that even two early 4th class warriors had turned into charcoals when facing his two lightning dragons despite their body being shrouded with battle qi, his confidence had boosted a hundredfold.
" It's your turn." said shad with a devilish smile on his face as he was looking at the remaining assassins.

The Last Marshal
Weird West Fantasy Noir Once the Republic Marshals brought order to the chaotic lands along the Frontier, facing dangers both human and supernatural with ancient wisdom and a six-gun —but that was a long time ago. Destroyed by conspiracy and betrayal, all that remains of that secretive order is one nameless man on a trek though the West seeking revenge on the woman he blames for the Marshals' fall and his disgrace. When a visitor from our world joins him on his journey, they together must confront the horrors of a strange land, the mysteries of the past and the real meaning of their quest for justice. The world of Tellus is what 19th Century Earth would have looked like if the stories of Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Lovecraft and William Hope Hodgeson were real. History in this world moves slower. The old faiths persist and civilization never conquered the dark corners of the map, at least not without being inextricably changed. Technology and culture takes a little longer to evolve in this land, as people here tend to spend more time pursuing their elaborate revenge plots or trying to avoid being the next sacrifice to the Outer Gods rather than advancing science or statecraft. Imagine Cormac McCarthy by way of Edgar Rice Burroughs, though a little less testosterone-drenched than that description would imply. Three caveats: First, there are deep mysteries here, including how such a world came to be and who controls it. Second, this world is not wholly unconnected from our own. There is a historical point of divergence, but in the distant past. To paraphrase Twain: history in this world is not a repeat of our own, but it does often rhyme. And finally, this is not a setting that lends itself to happy endings.
