DEATH

The year is '1539' and it is late at night in Tokyo, everyone is asleep except for two well known clans. Both of these clans are ninja clans and are at war with each other.

Their power are unfathomable and outclasses every other clan within one hundred thousand kilometers. The two powerful leaders of these clans have led a group of respectful and immortal like warriors from each clan to battle to the death.

The winner of this battle gets to decide the outcome of the other clan and end their centuries long war.

These clans are known as the Blazing Phoenix clan and the Bear Claw clan, they have been in an endless war for 500 years and this battle is to stop the war and make peace. Each clan leader has promised that they will not kill the remaining people from the clan that loses the battle by making an oath to the heavens.

If they break their oath, they and their families will forever be tortured in the ninth level of purgatory.

The leaders of these two clans immediately took action as they entered the battle arena that was agreed upon before the battle started.

On a cliff facing in the direction of the battle, stood a middle aged man in his forties. He watches how the battle is playing out. This man is known as Zhou Lee, the clan leader of the Bear Claw clan.

As Zhou Lee stood and watched his and the enemy's men massacre each other, he decided that he will take action and help his men to win the battle.

And this centuries long war.

....

On the other side of the arena stood an arrogant man that is also in his forties. This man's name is Ye Zeng, he is the clan leader of the Blazing Phoenix clan. Even though he is arrogant, he is still the clan leader of the Blazing Phoenix clan and that means he is strong.

You need close to god-like strength to lead a ninja clan and more strength to lead a ninja clan like the Blazing Phoenix clan.

When Ye Zeng saw Zhou Lee entered the battle, a cold and evil grin appeared on his face with eyes filled with killing intent accompanying it.

He knew that the legendary clan leader of the Bear Claw clan was very strong, he has never been beaten by anybody in a fight but this will be the day that he, the clan leader of the Blazing Phoenix clan will become a legend that killed the 'Unkillable Demon' Zhou Lee.

Ye Zeng was very confident in his strength that he was sure he would defeat Zhou Lee and become a martial legend. That was why he had a cold and evil grin when he saw Zhou Lee entered the battle. Ye Zeng jumped off the tall tree branch that he was standing on and started running in the direction of Zhou Lee at an insane speed.

...

While Zhou Lee was running, he passed by a lot of enemies and every enemy he passed by fell to the ground a few seconds later without their heads.

Zhou Lee suddenly stopped and looked west only to find a shadow quickly approaching. As the shadow stopped a few hundred meters away from Zhou Lee, Zhou Lee said with a calm expression

"Hello Ye Zeng, i got a little gift for you to celebrate the end of this long and bitter war"

He threw a bag in front of Ye Zeng's feet. Inside the bag was all the severed heads of Ye Zeng's most important men.

As anger fills his heart, seeing his men's severed heads in the bag he says

"Well that is to be expected from the legendary 'unkillable demon', but today is the last day that you shall draw breath! I, the clan leader of the Blazing Phoenix clan, shall be your vanquisher!"

Ye Zheng said as he unsheathed his orange blade and started sprinting towards Zhou Lee.

"You talk too much, come and fight!"

Zhou Lee said calmly as he unsheathed his black blade and started running towards Ye Zeng. In the middle of the forest, these two titans clash surrounded by the corpses of their fallen brethren, there was no one else around to see the magnificent battle between these two legends going neck to neck in a battle to the death.

As Ye Zeng strikes with speed and accuracy, Zhou Lee keeps blocking and dodging every strike from Ye Zeng's blade. Everytime Ye Zheng slashed at Zhou Lee, he dodges at an angle, preventing Ye Zheng from following his attack with a slash or pierce.

After a while Ye Zeng retreated while breathing heavily, he noticed that there was something strange, but what?

'Wait a minute, Zhou Lee hasn't attacked or retaliated at all! All he has done so far was blocking and dodging.'

As he thought those words, Zhou Lee suddenly vanished, with words louder than thunder rumbling through the heavens

"NOW IT IS MY TURN TO STRIKE!"

Zhou Lee appeared behind Ye Zeng. Before Ye Zeng could even react, he was flying through the air due to Zhou Lee's powerful punch. As Ye Zeng crashed into a tree, he realized the difference between Zhou Lee and himself but he knew there was no chickening out. He stood up and gathered all the energy he had left for one final attack

"[Flaming Meteor Sword]!"

but it was to no avail, Zhou Lee countered [Flaming meteor sword] with his own special attack

"[Shadow Reaper's Blade]!"

If you were near Tokyo at that precise moment, you would hear a loud deafening sound that challenged the heavens and see a gigantic mushroom cloud comparable to nuclear bombs.

After the smoke cleared, a gigantic crater the size of a large town replaced the previous small hill. Inside this crater, two people with ragged clothes and blood oozing out of them laid in it, one kneeling and the other one lying on the ground.

The man kneeling was Zhou Lee and the man on the ground surrounded by a pool of blood was Ye Zeng. As Ye Zeng struggled to speak

"I can't believe the war that lasted 500 years all started because of a debate about a comic named 'Dragonball Z'. So many lives went into this war, what a pity."

Ye Zheng, being close to death's doors, converse with Zhou Lee. He couldn't do anything else and resigned himself to what very little time he has left.

"I know what you mean Ye Zeng, it truly is a pity that it turned out this way. Who knows? Maybe if it turned out differently, we could have been brothers… I shall send your remains to your family as a gift and visit your funeral. Goodbye old friend and geezer."

Ye Zeng passed away just when Zhou Lee finished his words.

Now that the war was finished Zhou Lee could finally put this event behind him. As he stood up and shook the dirt out from his armor, he heard a loud sound behind him.

*HOOOONNK!!*

*HOOOONNK!!*

The sound may have caught him off guard, but with years of experience, Zhou Lee could quickly react and was once again on guard facing the direction of the sound.

As he looked in the direction of the sound, he could see a giant metallic like creature and at the bottom of the creature was a metal plate with the words "TRUCK-KUN-SAMA" engraved on it. There wasn't such a thing like this in this era.

As this 'creature' was speeding towards Zhou Lee, He was prepared and also ran towards the creature with his sword drawn.

Unfortunately he was no match for the metallic like creature and ended up dead. The last words you could hear from Zhou Lee was

"CURSE YOU TRUCK-KUN-SAMA!!!"

The killer of the Unkillable Demon Zhou Lee was someone or something the martial world shall forever never find out about.
