(updated)
We get to the clan hall, and the man finally speaks to me.
My name is Dai Bin; I am the clan leader and the father of Dai Feng's dead husband.
Ok? What is it you want to talk about?
I was hoping you could kill the Yáng clan, which attacked us. If you do so, I will back the marriage.
I don't think you understand something. I don't need you to back it because no one can do anything. I don't mind killing the clan for you, but you have to make a deal with me for something I want.
What is it that you want?
Any woman in the clan that I want can be taken for myself. If the males have a problem with that, they can try to kill me all they want. It's not like they can do anything about it; those weak fucks couldn't even save their clan, let alone do anything to me.
Thats unreasonable!
How so? There are four things men want: 1. power, 2. fame, 3. wealth, and 4. women. I already have the first two, and as for the third, I can just kill for it; no one could stop me even if they wanted to. So, that only leaves women. I have seen three so far in the clan that I want to put my seed in. So, make your choice.
He becomes silent, trying to weigh the pros and cons. He would be a fool to turn it down; after all, I bet I am the only person that can't bring back life so damn easy. At the cost of 5 women to have the backing of someone so powerful. But the real problem is the sect behind the Yáng, the top one, the divine sword sect, which is the reason. Even though we had a marriage deal, the eternal sword sect didn't help.
I will only agree to your terms if you care for the Divine Sword sect.
Grandpa, that is too unreasonable!
Deal, but you have to sign a magic contract with me.
Magic contract?
Father, it's a contract that if you don't keep your end of the deal, you die and can never come back.
He thinks for a moment and sighs.
Okay, please give me the contract.
I draw it up, he reads it, and we drop our blood. I turn around to leave and bring Feng, Ai, and Bin. We teleported to the Yáng clan in the capital, about 50 miles away. The capital is called Divine City because the Divine Sword sect is in the mountain range next to it. We show up right outside the front gate to the clan; the guards freak out.
Who are you what do you want?
I cast a mid-level spell called Return to Dust, a time spell that ages them to the point they become dust. It happened in two seconds; the civilians watched it happen. Ten guards were killed with a wave of my hands. Two of them were core formations; by standards, they should be low-high level in the clan. We walk to the gate, and I blast it open; once we enter, the wooden gate returns to a standard gate. At this point, the people watching start running to tell their clans what is happening; the Yáng is the city's second most potent noble clan. So once news began to spread, the other clans sent people to watch; I stood in the middle of the compound with the three.
You are you what are you doing in the Yang family land.
A peck Golden core, he looks old for the head of a family, maybe the Grand elder. I know that's what the people of the fallen dragon nations used to have, but it doesn't matter the moment I made the deal every Yang. From elder to child, will die; that's how life works when you have an extreme family culture. Your choice fuck over your family; that's why I like the United Federations culture better. Individual choices or punishment over stupid outdated beliefs of group identity; that way, if someone fucks up, the only person held for punishment is the one who did the evil. That way, your family won't be massacred, well they made their bed, and now they will lay in them.
The dead don't need to know the living, just that you and your clan fucked up. Now, you all will die; that's just how life rolls.
Everyone starts to laugh like they have heard the funniest joke. But they just show how stupid they are; I mean, I killed the guard and walked into their home. They should take my words seriously. After all, no one would bring two women and a guy weaker than most here without the ability to back it up. Their hubris will be their downfall, while stupidity gets people killed all the time. I lift my hand and cast Mass Return to Dust, targeting every Yang clan member, young and old. But this one has a delay on it; I want them to watch as people start to age and die. To know that next time, don't underestimate people. It gets you killed. Only the Absolute can have that pleasure; there will never be one like that.
That's the funniest thing I have ever heard. Kid, you should tell your jokes in the city. I bet you can make a lot of money. And why are you holding your hand up? Are you some fool?
Fool? No, but you are. You should always hold your enemy at their word until they show otherwise. If not, you will die without knowing why.
A scream rings out as a woman holding a baby runs out of the house. The baby is aging fast until its bones turn to dust, and then people standing start doing it. One turns into two, then into four. People are trying to understand what's going on. The old man looks at me; he now understands. He charges me but runs into a barrier I put around us.
What have you done? What did we do to you?
Bin and the girls have their faces covered with a mask I gave them for extra fun.
Take your masks off and show them the faces of the people coming to get their pound of flesh.
They do as they are told, and the old man walks back and falls on his ass; he killed this man 3 hours ago.
You should know Dai Bin. You can think of him as my family, as I have married both Feng and Ai. So, I am here to honor a deal with him. That is to kill all those behind and belong to the forces that wished the Dai family dead. As for what I did to your people, it's a spell that ages them to dust. I made sure to leave you for last, to make you watch their death. That's the price of the choice you made.
Kids cry as they age and die, mothers holding them. It's not a pretty seen, but it's to show everyone watching not to fuck with me. Cultures like the one here like to be two-faced. Showing honor, but under it is evil. I don't have time to deal with their stupid mentality; if they hate me, so be it. I care not about being liked but about people doing what I say. Men, more so than women, as men have egos that don't match what they can and cannot do. After all, pride comes before the fall; I need to show them that being prideful with me will get you killed. Only the Absolute has the right to be prideful. Because I can back it up, no one else can.
The cries start dying down as only a handful is left. I walk out of the barrier and walk to the old man. He tries to hit me with some palm attack, but I destroy his arm with a finger snap. Making him scream and fall back.
You're a monster who won't get away with this; The Divine Sword sect will judge you.
Am I a monster? What about you? I am only doing what you have done to the Dai family. What makes what I am doing any different? If it wasn't for your thirst for whatever mine they found on their land, would I be here right now? Would you be the last of your clan? This is your family's choice coming to bite you in the ass; if you can't pay the price, then don't make a choice that costs too much. As for the Divine Sword sect, they're next.
That's a bold word coming from a child.
I looked up to see an old man floating in the air; I heard the Divine Sword sect has three Nascent levels: one first stage and second stage. This guy is in the first stage, good finally, some good fucking food to play around with. I can fight for the air better than these children, making it somewhat fun.
A new toy to play with. Old man, you must be one of the three dumb fucks that run the Divine Sword Sect.
I can hear the gasps from the people watching. I could even hear a guy say, "Watch what kind of balls this kid has?". And to answer his question, the best kind of balls.
I float up, making the guy squint his eye; now, he is taking me seriously.
Boy, you will pay for your hubris.
Old man, many have said that, and no one has been able to. I know for a fact you can't.
We will see about that boy!!
He charges me, and I fly backward; he has his sword out, making all his fancy sword moves. But brute force doesn't work on me; only magic can kill magic. And even then, you must be stronger than me, and I have yet to find someone. I shoot a low-level lightning bolt, taking off one of his arms, making him scream and pull back. He is looking at me with fear. He turns to run, but I cast dimension lock, a spell that makes it so people can't escape unless I let them. He runs into the wall and starts hitting it. He turns around and begins to try to reason with me.
Great Noble, I have eyes but couldn't see. Your issue with the Yang clan has nothing to do with me. I will pay for your forgiveness.
I bust out with great laughter; I can tell he is upset with my laughter. Everyone is watching; I stop laughing and wipe the tears away from my eyes. I snap my fingers, destroying his body and soul. Nascent can come back, but they will never be as strong as before. I no longer care about him and take the ring he was trying to give me. I will give it to the girls; they cultivate and need it. Only those born with the ability for mana can use magic, as it's a blessing from existence. I can't teach them magic. That is the one thing I can't do because existence chooses her friend. I can't force her.
I return to my girls, and the old man is just starting to return to dust. He is broken, not saying a word as he finally fades away. I tell Bin to take the Yang family's stuff. When he returns, we head to finish this once and for all.
I help them float as we head to the Divine Sword Sect; when we leave, all the watchers that the powers in the city return to their people. Running like they have world-shaking news, what will they do? The Top sect falls today.
