Eternal Villain: I can enslave Reality!

Both sides had agreed to the life and death battle. Since Ye Han already knew Xu Shan's strength, he didn't have to worry about his death. However, he was curious about something else.

He clearly knew that Xu Shan wasn't sent here to negotiate any alliance. So why did he lie? Just what was his goal in coming here?

Another thing that confused him was this battle. Why did Xu Shan agree to this battle? He had kept his strength a secret all this time, so why was he willing to reveal it so suddenly? The more he tried to make sense of the situation, the more confused he became.

A battle arena was already prepared in the place even before Xu Shan's arrival since the last test was supposed to be a battle between the candidates. However, none of the Elders had imagined that this stage was going to see a life or death battle between an official disciple of the Celestial Palace and a Prince of an Ancient Dynasty.

On one side of the stage stood Xu Shan. He only had one weapon in his hand, a small dagger that appeared to be quite ordinary. However, the Great Elder could see that the dagger wasn't simple.

All the Candidates in the selection exams were quite interested in the battle that was to come. However, they could only watch from a distance as none of them were allowed to come within a hundred meter radius of the stage.

Even Ye Han, the Great Elder and Yu Ming stood far away from the stage, as if to ensure that no one could interrupt the battle in the middle.

Yu Ming didn't even glance at the red haired girl who was challenging Xu Shan. His entire focus remained on the Third Prince as if he didn't want to miss even a single detail.

"On the count of three, the battle will start!" The Great Elder's loud voice echoed.

High in the sky, even the Palace Master of the Celestial Palace had come out to witness this battle. Although, he didn't reveal himself so even Xu Shan or Ye Han didn't know about it. Other Great Elders stood next to the Celestial Palace Master.

"A mortal challenging a peak Celestial General. Does the young man have a death wish?" One of the Great Generals asked, shaking his head. "This battle shouldn't have been allowed. Even though it's a life and death battle occurring with permission from both sides, it'll still be troublesome when the young brat dies."

The Celestial Palace Master didn't respond right away. His calm gaze observed Xu Shan. He had felt that the young man was arrogant even when he first saw him in the Eternal Dynasty. However, that man certainly wasn't stupid.

There was not even a trace of fear on his face, as if he didn't even consider his challenger a threat to his life. That gave the Palace Master a feeling that there was something he had to rely on.

"One..." The Great Elder next to Yu Ming started the count.

The red haired woman held her Sword firmly, ready to separate the young man's head in a single strike! She couldn't believe that she got the chance to kill him so soon. Although she thought that it was a pity to give him such an easy death, but she didn't want to give others a chance to intervene and save him!

"Two..."

Xu Shan lazily remained in his place, as if he was standing in a garden and not in a battle arena. Even the dagger in his hand wasn't aimed. He just held it lazily.

"Three!" The Great Elder finished the count, signaling the start of the battle.

As soon as the battle began, Yei's powerful aura burst out as she dashed ahead like lightning.

Within a blink of an eye, she appeared right before Xu Shan, swinging her Sword with all her might while roaring, "Die!"

Her sword passed through Xu Shan's neck. However, it was at that moment, she realized that something was wrong! Even when her sword passed through his throat, she didn't feel any resistance. It was as if her Sword passed through empty air.

At the same time, her face went pale as she felt a terrifying pain in her chest. She lowered her head, noticing a dagger coming out of her chest. It had pierced from her back.

The Xu Shan who stood before her disappeared, turning into smoke. At the same time, the real Xu Shan appeared behind her. In one of his hands was the dagger that had stabbed the red haired woman.

On his other hand, there was a small piece of paper which was slowly burning. There were some strange patterns carved on the paper that were previously golden but had now turned pitch black, as if they had been exhausted.

"A Talisman?" The Celestial Palace Master frowned. Even Yu Ming was taken aback. A Talisman of this grade wasn't something that anyone could possess.

It was very hard to create a talisman of this level. Even the best talisman master could only make one or two talismans of such a grade in a year!

Yu Ming thought that Xu Shan was a Celestial Warrior who hid from the world and that he was going to see the truth today! Unfortunately, Xu Shan didn't give him an opportunity. He didn't use any Celestial Aura. He just used a Talisman that any mortal could use.contemporary romance

It was a short range teleportation talisman which also left an afterimage behind to confuse the enemy.

Blood trickled out of the red haired woman's lips as Xu Shan twisted the knife in her heart. After that, he released the exhausted talisman which turned into smoke before he wrapped his arms around the young woman's neck, as if he was gently hugging her from behind.

He brought his lips closer to the ears of the young woman who was still in disbelief. Usually, even when she was wounded so seriously, she could at least counterattack one last time, dying with Xu Shan. However, for some reason, her entire body felt like it was paralyzed, making it impossible for her to even resist.

"You and I have no enmity. However, I've seen enough such revenge templates to know better than to give you time to grow." Xu Shan's soft whispers fell into the ears of the young woman. "I can't take any risk. So for my safety, rest in peace..."

He released the woman after finishing what he had to say. He pulled out the dagger, letting the woman fall into her knees. Her chest bled as she dropped to the ground. Her lifeless eyes still remained open even as she died.

Standing on the stage, Xu Shan watched the lifeless woman. There were multiple thoughts in his head.

Right then, the black screen of the Book of Truth appeared before him.
