Child of Destiny

Chapter 2000: Reliving the Nightmare of the Camp

……

“Go!” Andras did not wait that long as he quickly issued his order to attack Uno, right after seeing that everyone was in the right position and had formed their battle formation perfectly.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Those young executioners swiftly made their move right after receiving the order and started attacking Uno from every direction.

Some of them stayed on their respective spots, holding black chains in their hands along with the sickles attached to their respective ends. They spun and twirled these weapons around them, seemingly waiting for the right time to throw them.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The others wielded their respective weapons and charged at Uno, executing a series of coordinated attacks that were perfectly linked with one another.

Their movements and strategy seemed to be quite perfect, especially when they covered all the directions and sealed off every possible escape route that their target could take in the process.

Unfortunately, Uno had no intention of taking such routes and stood still on the boulder he was standing on with the same indifference on his face.

He did not even bother to look at the surrounding attacks since his eyes were solely locked on the pair, who were standing in the far back of the ground and waiting for the opportunity to strike.

He did not even bother to take out his swords, thinking that this bunch was not worthy of him to pull out his swords.

The executioners did not care about his thoughts and threw their attacks at him without holding back.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Bang!

Their respective weapons released a powerful aura, which repressed their respective powers, while throwing their techniques in the process.

Uno did not even make his move until the very last moment.

He just casually raised his right foot behind him and lightly tapped his toes on the boulder he was standing on, making it explode and sending a bunch of rock fragments in every direction.

Bang!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

These rock fragments did not seem to carry that much power. But during their flight, every fragment was suddenly enveloped by wisps of back and white flames that suddenly increased their firepower.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Each rock fragment collided with the incoming attacks, making them explode. These explosions resulted in the incoming attacks disrupting the incoming energies, which also killed most of their powerful momentum.

Aside from the remaining energies surrounding the weapons of the opposing group, most of their attacks lost their killing power and had disappeared, making their approach less intimidating.

However, they still continued, rapidly approaching Uno and attacking him from every angle along with their coordinated movements.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The first to arrive was a pair of sword-wielding executioners, who were attacking Uno from the front and behind, respectively.

Both were attacking from a tricky angle. One of them was swinging diagonally upwards while the other was coming his sword from the opposite angle, slashing diagonally as well.

Their combination attacks sealed all the possible escape routes and prevented any counterattack that could come at them.

Facing either one of them would let the other land a critical hit, which would put their target in a dangerous situation in an instant. Moreover, there were also others who were launching another series of coordinated attacks right behind them.

Aside from that, Uno’s body was still suspended in the air due to his previous action of making the bounder underneath him explode.

From their perspective, this perfectly coordinated attack was already a checkmate even for a monster right before them.

Unfortunately, common sense did not apply to someone of Uno’s caliber.

He leveraged his slowly falling body to lean to the side, angling himself and aligning his body according to the incoming attacks.

Right before the two swords coated with strong Natural Forces fully approached him, his right hand foot suddenly moved.

Clang! Clang!

He did not use any fancy moves and just raised his right hand above him, moving it in circular motion.

Then the back of his index and middle fingers came in contact with the surface of the descending swords, deflecting them and changing their trajectory to the side.

His right foot, on the other hand, just swung casually behind him.

Right at the same time, the ascending sword of the executioner behind him reached the range of his foot, which his toe-point accurately hit the surface of the incoming sword and kicked it away from its original path.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The two executioners were caught off guard due to what happened.

Everything happened a bit too fast for them to clearly see what just happened. They were already brushing past Uno when they realized that their perfectly coordinated attack missed their target.

These two might not realize what happened, but those slightly away from them clearly saw it. They could not even believe what they just witnessed.

Those pairs of coordinated attacks were not ordinary attacks either, since they were executed as advanced movements of their Martial Arts, yet they were easily deflected by the casual movements of their opponent.

Unfortunately, they did not have that much time to dwell on it and continued their attacks.

While Uno was slightly lying on the air after the previous exchange, three more executioners suddenly lunged at him.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

They were coming from three different directions while thrusting their spears forward.

Roar!

These incoming attacks were also executed with advanced Martial Arts, manifesting a huge image of a phantasmal beast behind them, respectively.

Unlike the previous two attacks, these seemed to be a bit trickier to deal with, yet Uno remained indifferent and responded with a similar set of simple moments.

He first twisted his body midair before suddenly generating a moment by doing a spin-roll along with his slightly opened legs.

When the spears were about to reach him, he released a hint of his Golden Sacred Qi and a wisp of Primal Demonic Power on each of his feet to protect them from the violent forces that were covering his opponents.

He then suddenly widened his legs and kicked each of the spears right after cutting through the manifested energies of the two attackers during his spin, while also slapping the other spear that was coming from the other direction.

“What!?”

“He breaks through our Martial Aura that easily!?”

“He does not even use that much of Natural Force either.”

The three could not believe that their combination attack would be broken that easily, especially when they had consumed the special drug that their organization had created just recently.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After their attacks failed to hit their target, two of them slammed against one another while the other was kicked by Uno and sent flying to the ground.

That was when Uno finally landed on the ground.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

But right after his feet touched the ground, four executioners suddenly surrounded him, appearing like ghosts.

They did not even hesitate and launched a series of attacks at him. They knew that even a second of delay was more than enough for this monster to counter them.

Two of them launched a series of slashes at Uno, creating a hurricane of attacks that came at him from every direction. The other two, on the other hand, hid behind this storm, lying in wait to launch a deadly ambush.

Unfortunately, nothing came according to their plan.

Uno suddenly stretched his hands out, covering them with his twin Qi. He then grabbed and pulled in the next instant, revealing the pair of executioners, who attacked him with their hurricane attacks.

The storm of energy and sharp flashes immediately dissipated due to this.

Bang!

Uno then slammed their faces against one another before suddenly taking a step to the side while also slightly turning their body.

Shing!

A sharp flash suddenly flew past his face, almost grazing his face.

The ambusher suddenly halted his actions, forcefully stopping his forward charge. He wanted to stop himself from accidentally hitting his comrade, who had just had his face slammed against another executioner.

Unfortunately, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by Uno before leveraging his previous momentum to further yank him forward.

Puchi!

His dagger then pierced through the neck of that poor executioner before him, not even realizing that he had already died.

Uno did not let go of that person’s arm, tripping the latter with simple movements. He then suddenly swung his other arm down, carrying an extreme force that crashed the spine of the executioner before slamming them on the ground.

Bang!

Swoosh!

It was only at this moment that the fourth dagger-wielding executioner appeared behind Uno soundlessly.

Shing! Shing! Shing!

He brandished his daggers, throwing a series of slashes that suddenly turned into another hurricane of flashes surpassing the combined attacks from the previous two.

“Got him!” this executioner rejoiced, thinking that he had successfully landed his attack. He did not even care about the three other executioners who got swept by his Hurricane Blade Stream alongside Uno, only caring about his success.

Unfortunately, he celebrated a bit too early.

Swoosh!

A pair of hands suddenly extended from behind him, casting a shadow on his face.

“What!?”

Before he could even do anything, this pair of hands suddenly grabbed his head and twisted at a hundred-and-eighty-degree angle, facing his attacker.

That was when he saw the handsome yet devilish face smirking at him.

Thud!

His body then slowly fell on the ground with a soft sound, signifying that he had died as well.

The other six executioners, who were waiting to throw their chains since earlier, could not help but pause their actions after seeing that four of them died just like that.

The series of events happened a bit too fast. They were just starting, yet four of them were killed in an instant.

Forget about the three, who got swept by the Hurricane Blade Stream and got shredded into pieces in the process. The very person who had executed such a perfect and ruthless ambush and did not care about those three was done by the most basic and simple assassination technique.

Even Andras and Feng could not help but wear a grim look on their faces because even they could not respond to the series of actions that Uno had just done.

The first series of actions that Uno had executed was a bit acceptable for them since they could clearly see how perfectly he controlled every fiber and muscle of his body, on top of the superb control over his Natural Force.

However, what came after he touched the ground was a bit too absurd even for them.

Even if they wanted to save those four, they would not be fast enough to do so, especially when they only saw Uno use a series of simple actions in the process.

They did not even sense a hint of bloodlust coming from the latter during the entire process. It was as if whatever had transpired before them was nothing but a casual walk in the park.

“We have expected that he must have gotten much stronger than before, but this strength is a bit too much, isn’t it?” said Andras while glaring at Uno with full wariness.

Feng, on the other hand, was able to recover himself much faster than the rest. He stared at Uno for a while before stepping forward. “There is nothing much we can do now but to step in and join them.”

“Remember the order. We have to contain him here for as long as we can until the main force arrives.”

“We are originally planning to cage him with us, but unfortunately, it seems like we are the ones caged with him.”

“Just pray that we will be able to last long enough for the main force to arrive,” he said, warning Andras not to slack off.

He understood Andras’ state of mind, especially due to his ambitious nature. He knew that this guy was treating this mission as some sort of hunting – hunting a monster in human form.

Unfortunately, that monster had started hunting them instead.

It’s 2000 chapters already. Time sure flies.
