Chapter 5 - Undeniable Dominance!
Night...
Asu Continent...
Mandarin empire, Jianghu province...
Beijing, in a forest...
- Arthur, Qin-Shi and some men (sitting by the campfire)
- Qin-Shi Huang (looks at Arthur): Tell me something, aren't you interested in the divine princess?
- Arthur Treadway (looking at the campfire): Qin, I'm not the Arthur you once knew...
- Qin-Shi Huang (looks at the sky, smiles): I know man, I realized this a long time ago... You were once my friend, now you're my brother!
- Arthur Treadway (looks at Qin) "Didn't understand.": I didn't have a problem with women because I was too busy training and struggling to survive...
- Qin-Shi Huang (looks at Arthur): But from what you told me, in a while you will be king...
- Arthur Treadway (looking at Qin): How are you so sure that I'm going to kill Zeus?
- Qin-Shi Huang (looking at Arthur): Dude, all the men here are afraid of you, not because you are evil, but on the battlefield my friend, you are beyond being strong, beyond the genius level, you're above all those levels, you're a monster...
- Arthur Treadway (looking at the men): I'm not human...
- Qin-Shi Huang (laughing): Funny, you're going to tell me that with the crown you won't look at some here, and others there?
- Arthur Treadway (shows a subtle smile) "Why does he think that everyone is like him?"
- Qin-Shi and the men (notice Arthur's smile, laughs)
- Qin-Shi (laughing): There's the beast...
- Arthur Treadway (changes his countenance): Women are a waste of time! They are excellent pawns, but as lovers they are an obstacle...
- Qin-Shi Huang (sighs): Borring!... "How can he say that?! Doesn't princess Hera, the hottest, most beautiful and the woman with the most well-developed body in the entire world makes him feel anything?! I'm so jealous, if were him, and had that woman's love... Hehehe" (drooling)
Later...
- Qin-Shi Huang (looks at Arthur, notices the sword on his back): That sword, you always have it...
- Arthur Treadway (looking at the campfire): It's special...
Qin-Shi Huang (looks at the men, smiles): Awesome, let me see... (gets close to Arthur)
- The men (drinking, and talking)
- Arthur Treadway (Qin-Shi invading his private space, sighs): Qin-Shi, stop!
- Qin-Shi Huang (tries to pick up the sword, smiles): Just a look...
- Arthur Treadway (in a second, holds the sword, takes it out and puts it back in the scabbard)
- Qin-Shi Huang (puts his hand on his cheek to stop the blood): AHHH!!!
- The men (startled, stand, draw their swords): WHAT HAPPENED?!
- Arthur Treadway (sitting, looking at them, releases his kill intent)
People usually think that the Dragon on his title is just a name, but it isn't. He really was a Dragon, and the king of them...
- Gubong (with a sword in his hand, losing air, kneels): L-Lord Y-Yuwen... (trembling) "We're going to die..."
- Men (with difficulty to breath, kneel)
- Qin-Shi Huang (on his knees, struggling to breathe and one hand on his face): M-Master, p-pa-pardon, forgive me... (trembling) "Is this even possible? This pressure, is like facing absolute power..."
- Arthur Treadway (stands up, sets them free): Never point your sword at me, and never disobey me! (looking at them with his bloodthirsty eyes emitting a red fire)
- Qin-Shi Huang and the men (on their knees, coughing, seeing a giant Arthur overwhelming them): Forgive us, Arthuro-Sama...
- Gubong (on his knees, trying to breathe, looks up, sees Arthur standing with red eyes, looking directly at him) "M-Monster..."
On that day everything became clear, the Qin army understood. Everyone understood who the boss was, and they also understood Arthur's supremacy over them, it was as deep as the ocean...
The next day...
Entrance of the capital...
- Arthur Treadway (jumps, catches the head of a 40-meter giant and smashes on the ground)
- Qin-Shi Huang (laughing, passes in the middle of five soldiers, puts his katana in its scabbard): Who is it? It's Lord Shi!
- The five (fall dead to the ground)
- One of Qin-Shi's men (seeing Arthur and Qin) "The lords... But the scariest one is him..." (seeing Arthur cut off the head of a giant)
- Arthur Treadway (points his sword at their leader): Come over here!
- The leader (sees Arthur approaching, advances): I've heard a lot of stories about you, White Dragon!
- Arthur Treadway (stops in front of him): Oh, is that so? And what you see me do, confirmed the stories?
- The leader (sweating) "His speed..."(tries to cut off Arthur's arm): Don't look down on me, brat!
- Arthur Treadway (dodging, looks at his sword) "It's a beautiful sword, he must be a general...": Are you a general?
- The leader (looking at Arthur, sighs): Shut your mouth, White Dragon!
- Arthur Treadway (puts his swords on his back, gets into combat position): I won't use my swords on you, I'll go the old-fashioned way, I don't want to kill you by mistake...
- General (looking at Arthur with veins on his face): You're very stupid, kid! Want to fight a supreme master armed with only his fists?! HOW DARE YOU!!! (advances)
- Arthur Treadway (dodges, punches the general in the face, using the Dragon King's Art, advances): You overestimate yourself a lot...
- General (with a sword, uses the Shaolin Art of Water, advances)
- Arthur and the General (advance against each other)
- Arthur Treadway (standing with his back to the general): Supreme Master? The difference between you and me is that of heaven and earth!
- General (losing Qi, kneels) "What just happened?! Did he defeat me with just one movement?! Is there truly a person this strong?!": What did you do to me... (faints)
- Arthur Treadway (walks towards the gate): I taught you how to fight, old man...
In the Imperial palace...
Weapons room...
- Emperor Ming (wearing his armor) "This cannot be! HOW DARE THAT LITTLE BASTARD PUT MY PEOPLE AGAINST ME!!!"
- A soldier (sweating, crouches) "We are doomed, the whole army betrayed us...": L-Lord, they have entered the city. They are approaching the palace!
- Emperor Ming (looks at the soldier) "The girls...": Where is the imperial family?!
- The Soldier (sweating) "Why didn't I leave when I had the chance...": In the throne room, sir...
At that moment, an explosion happened in the palace...
- Emperor Ming (runs towards the throne room) "What was that?!": My daughters...!
- Some soldiers (chasing the king): Sovereign, wait...
In the throne room...
- Emperor Ming (hugs his daughters, kisses the queen) "Oh my girls...": May the gods be praised...
- Empress Gu (looking at the king) "This old fart! Can't he control a bunch of peasants?!": What was that?!
- Princess Gyu (crying, hugs the emperor): Father, I'm scared...
- Emperor Ming (runs his hand over his daughters' faces, kisses their foreheads): Let's run away, we have no alternative...
- Princess Gumiho (with veins on her face) "ME?! RUN?!": Run away?! (her eyes shine): I WON'T! Me and mother can finish them off! We are nine-tailed foxes! Who do these humans think they are?!
- Emperor Ming (looks at her): Your mother is already old, she is three thousand years old and injured! She won't be able to take a fight with an army of hundreds of thousands, let's get out now! Let's not waste time Gumiho... "This girl!"
- Empress Gu (looking at her daughter) "I don't want to admit it but...": Your idiotic father is right, we need to run away, just this once. But we will reclaim the throne, the Ming dynasty will not die...
- The imperial family and the soldiers (hear a noise coming from the door, look at the door)
- The soldiers (make a circle around the imperial family to protect them)
- Empress Gu (looking at the door): What is this?
- Emperor Ming (paying attention to the throne gate): This is... Music?
The door opens...
- The Imperial family (jumps in fright, steps back)
- Qin-Shi's men (enter singing): Here comes lord Qin-Shi!
- Qin-Shi Huang (dancing while singing): Lord Shi! It's me, Shi from China! You must love and respect, or applaud...
- Emperor Ming (surprised, with Princess Gyu in his arms) "Qin?!"
- A soldier from Qin (singing): Hold your excitement and come see who's here!
- The Men (singing): The great Qin-Shi is handsome, and strong...
- Qin-Shi Huang (laughing, dancing): Thank you guys! Lord Shi, reigns here in China...
- Qin-Shi Huang (singing): Bandits I faced, more than a hundred I defeated...
- The men (singing): He has an unparalleled speed, a tremendous force, so strong I have never seen...
- Qin-Shi Huang (gets close to the emperor, covers his mouth, kisses the hands of the princesses, singing) "Ouch, they're so hot that burns...": I am the one, there is no equal! So much beauty, you have never seen...
- Princess Gumiho (with a vein, watching Qin's show) "Are they afraid of this clown...?! I can kill him with just a thought!"
- Emperor Ming (looks at his wife and daughters, then at Qin-Shi): WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!
- The Men (chanting): Lord Shi, the strongest here!
- Qin-Shi (slaps the king, singing): Girls get ready! Open your eyes and see, if there is a man to love is Lord Qin-Shi...
- The Men (chanting): Lord Shi is the lord of Shaolin!
- Qin-Shi Huang (singing, walks towards the throne): Lord Shi you have to smile, Qin-Shi Huang di, and the throne he will take...
- The Men (singing): To Lord Shi!!!
- Qin-Shi Huang (panting, bows): Thank you guys... (looks at the king) "Finally, my dream! Are you seeing this Alander?! I told you, I am going to be a king!"
- The soldiers (clapping)
- Emperor Ming (looking at Qin-Shi) "This kid's face...": Who are you?!
- Qin-Shi Huang (looks at the king from the throne, with a vein on his face, sighs) "You kill my father and still don't know?!": Do you have a death wish?! Didn't you hear the music? I'm the new emperor of Shaolin, well... Let's put an end to this... (takes out his sword)
- Princess Gumiho (tries to attack Qin) "YOU DARE DRAW A SWORD AGAINST MY FATHER?!" (her mother grabs her arm, avoiding a tragedy)
- Empress Gu (looking at Qin) "This stupid kid!" [You are beautiful daughter, but beauty and stupidity are a sad combination. I can feel a dark presence near here, that must be why he is so confident. Start using your beauty and have others do everything for you, rather than dying, you are too beautiful to die here!]
- Some men (hold on the emperor and his family)
- The Empress and Princess Gyu (trembling): Please don't do that... (crying)
- Qin-Shi Huang (smiles): Princesses, don't cry. I'm not that scary. You have to meet my friend, talking about him, where is he...? (looks at some men)
- One of the men (looking at Qin): He's... (everyone hears a noise of swords scraping the floor, looks at the door): There... (seeing Arthur's posture and sensing his aura, loses all morale) "M-Moster..."
- Arthur Treadway (with his eyes glowing red, the bloody swords in his hands scraping the ground) "I've never been this pissed!!"
- Emperor Ming (looking at Arthur, blinks once and he comes closer) "His speed, is like teletransportation... And the aura, how is this possible?!": Who is that...? (Arthur's killing intent being palpable) "This pressure?! He looks like he's in his early twenties, but this monstrous kill intent..."
- Arthur Treadway (with shining eyes, veins on his face, scraping his swords on the floor): I. HAVE. BEEN. FIGHTING. AGAINST. FIVE. GIANTS. FOR. HOURS!
- Empress Gu (looking at Arthur, feels the blood lust) "This man..."
- Princess Gumiho (seeing Arthur, swallows' saliva) "Is this the one that mother was talking about?!"
- Princess Gyu (sensing his intent to kill, faints)
- Emperor Ming (grabs the princess): GYU! "It's understandable that she fainted, the pressure he's emitting..." (looks at the empress and Gumiho) "Even they are having problems resisting..."
- Arthur Treadway (stops in front of the king, next to Qin-Shi): King of the... (looks deeply at the king): You...
- Emperor Ming (looking at Arthur) "Is this...?!": Yuwen?
- Arthur Treadway (looking at the king): Anyone who touches the imperial family dies!
- Empress Gu (surprised, looks at him): !!!
- Qin-Shi Huang (looks at Arthur): What tha...?
