Surrounded

          Aeries sat back with calmness and sobriety, although the ambush was prepared with group of people, he still calmly believed he could easily take them all. Only the masked man on the demon beast would give him some trouble.     He was on the Peak of the 7th stage of the Martial warrior realm. And although they were 8 of them, they all had cultivations below the 5th stage with only the masked fellow being a little bit stronger. At the 8th stage of the Martial Warrior Realm. Although the gap was relatively miniscule every bit of advantage would definitely make a difference in the battle field. Normally, a cultivator at the mid rank of the Martial Realm would not have been able to withstand an assault from 8 of his peers a rank or two lower, but with Aeries monstrosity of a System he would be basically unhindered all through.   His wasn't Aeries bragging or not gauging the strength of his opponent well. He had been patiently observing the situation on their  side previously and had all ready prepared to rushed over without fear when he was sure that there was no hidden scheme or dark horse set up somewhere.   'They really do underestimate me. Not to blame them though. It's really cool acting all secretly and hiding your real cultivation.  Am sure they're thinking, As long as I kill or capture this Slick Pants who is against us, the 'some evil name' will be defeated without a fight.'          Warri was silently seated atop the costly demon beast he brought with a deep frown on his face, could it be this proposed Martial Warrior hasn't noticed our presence yet? if so, this then would basically be a case of pronouncing the alphabets.    He narrowed his eyes and gave a swiping motion with his thumb on his neck, 'be fast', giving the assassins a gleeful smile, as they prepared to charge in,  'BANG !!'        The surrounding ground shook violently as the serene atmosphere was suddenly disrupted by the sudden appearance of a power house that nearly fell from the sky with a punch . A  deep pit - like c***k had appeared on the ground along the way. Within 100 meters, the assassins nearby had been pushed several meters backwards, but the assassin in direct line to the force of this terrible punch had... flown several meters with flailing arms, obviously dead on immediate impact.        The sudden change made all of them tensed, as they looked towards the site, which had dust covering almost everything happening on the other side. After few moments the floating particles receded to bring to light a 17 year old grinning stupidly at them.      The figure of Aeries was slowly revealed out of the dusty screen. There was still a bloody mush littered on the glove of his right hand, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. They watched him calmly fitting the Space ring of the dead assassin in a profound manner and dread watched over them.     'When exactly did he loot this ring, it couldn't be at the very moment of impact could it?'   "HE HE HE, Young Noble, it seems you truly are a hidden genius, beloved by both men and heaven. It was your bad luck that you ignorantly poked the nest of the devil, HA HA, just quietly come with us, there's no need to struggle." The one seated on the Demon horse, Warri said after a momentary flash of surprise.         Without saying a thing, Aeries kicked out and dove straight to the closest Assassin, without using any strategy or hidden means, he simply punched out with all his might, making slight disruption of the surrounding air and space. The Assassin suddenly felt a weight pressing down on him and without any hesitation his years of training kicked in and he instinctively ducked to the right.    When Warri saw this his laugh echoed around the isolated place,     "This aren't your normal weak Noble cultivators boy, trained with brutal means from the age of three till now, they're instinct and decision making are the very top in battles, you can't possible kill them as easily as the other one, that was just a flunk...."   "BANG !!"    Immediately Aeries used the technique from the Way of Finesse to redirect the force on his right hand towards his left and sent the left out in a upper cut motion which smoothly connected to the chest of the Assassin.     The Assassin flew out uncontrollably and stopped only when he reached some ten kilometers backwards. Whether with un resigned vigor or innate ability, he stood up again and tried to get up to a fighting stance before suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood and slumming back down with a thud.   "You guys! what are you standing and staring there for? gather him!" Warri shouted anxiously and ordered them, but Aeries was faster as he had already set things in motion. He increased the output of his Golden Sky Fist to 200% and let out a series of swift normal punches to tackle all the Assassins before activating Misty Steps and zooming towards Warri.     Warri immediately sensed a wave of pressure and tightened his hold on the Horse Straps and pushed out of the Demon beast, narrowing escaping Aeries punch few centimeters  near his face.    With raised brows, Aeries reevaluated this talkative again, it seems he either has an innate fear of danger or he has a very stable foundation based on countless fights and battles... ' Reminds me of Brooke.    He did not waste a second though, and pushed out again with his palm to engage Warri again, Warri looked focused and was about to move out of the way when several translucent sharp blades appeared at every possible pathway he could take, leaving him flabbergasted with no other means than to directly take Aeries hit,   "BAM" The force surprising was negated when the Punch connected with his chest, causing Aeries momentum to come to a sudden halt.    "You don't know the difference between life and death, here let me show..."  c***k c***k sounds reverberated throughout Warri's body and immediately after pieces of some costly armor quickly dropped to the floor,  'So that was the reason! no wonder he was undisturbed when meeting my Punch, I thought this was a case of Veteran meeting Veteran, never knew a man so old would still find such comfort and calmness through placing his trust on Armor or a higher power for Protection,    "Scum" Aeries whispered ever so silently in disgust, if you're weak fully recognize that you're weak, no need to be that Villain that oppresses others.    "Please! Stop!! no need to kill me right? I am an indispensable asset, with total knowledge about all the in's and out of the Capital and the Kingdom in general..... Why aren't you helping! do you think Master wouldn't take out his anger on your children and wives?" When he saw Aeries flat look regardless of the benefits he proposed he got scared and shouted to the Assassins frantically.   With renewed vigor, the Assassins suddenly appeared all  around Aeries with blood shot eyes. Meeting them, Aeries did not back down at all, He stretched his right leg backwards and tightened the muscles of his arms immediately,  causing POP POP cracking sounds to be heard throughout his body        He timed his moment, and swiped out his right leg immediately the Assassins got with the range his leg could reach. Although this could have been able to disrupt their momentum, the Assassins, lived true to the names, and instead, applied a series of profound steps while others threw short poisonous daggers at Aeries,                 b    He blanked for a milli second, before pushing out with his leg left that was still implanted on the ground and propelled himself up and outwards, successfully shifting away from the daggers and series of pins and needles, when he got out, he secretly wiped the cold sweat from his brows 'How could I have forgotten this obvious intelligence, Assassins always play dirty' .              b               The Assassins did not have it easy either, With them being so close to together in their attempt to launch and all out strike, the Secret weapons they all threw moved unhindered to their companions directly facing them, an though they had Poison resistance and thin protective armor on their body, the faces were relatively opened save for an intricate mask that his their features.    They immediately set to motion to grasp or dodge these weapons but Aeries, seeing such blatant opening quickly activated his Air blades and sent them out to Augment the daggers and also deflect the ones that the assassins dodged.        These Assassins immediately felt intense pressure as they had to keep on jumping and catch things helter. If it was only the thrown weapons, between few seconds they could have either used their means to grab or flee. but with Aeries at the back skillfully manipulating the path of the weapons by clanging them with his air blades to change their displacement, they found themselves suddenly on the loosing sides. With two of the unfortunate ones fallen with deep gushing wounds.           "ENOUGH!! HA HA HA, do you think I'll be so pathetic to lose to a snotty, wet - behind - the - ears brat like you? don't think too much! I was preparing the ultimate trap to put you through, and these Assassins did a good job for me, behold the most evil soul skill in all of the Blue wing Empire, Dead Hand of Pluto!    Extinguish their souls for me.. HE HE HE HE"  Warri laughed out loud with his arms in a summoning gesture while holding a talisman.
