Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 109 Macau V : Jaws Of Evil

There are very few demons with extreme strength, we imagine that the way of life in their world is extremely brutal, and for you to be an extremely powerful demon, you would have to climb up a mountain of corpses, visiting death everywhere you go and turn. Or you have to be born strong, to be lucky to be amongst a special breed; but then again such power and strength would still be baptized in a lifetime of Carnage and bloodshed.

But even if there a few demons in existence, they're still a ma.s.sive threat, and that would be due to the very real fact that there's just too much of them. Even the lowest level demon has the potential and power to cause problems for the strongest of men, most of them are born physically superior, with speed, strength, agility, specific biological evolutions to make them the perfect killing tools. Anytime a demon appears, if it's not stopped in time, all it does is kill and kill until there's not a single hint of life left, many people might think that our biggest threats are from the beasts and monsters that have evolved on our own world, or from the machinations of our own fellow man, but the universe is large, and demons will always be knocking on our doorstep."

ARCHMAGE MERLIN'S REPORT ON DEMONS TO THE GRAND EMPRESS OF ALBION

Alex and the others made their way through the city, enjoying the sights and tasting what they could with the little money they had on them. Of course the main attraction of the city; the casinos were avoided by them, but not because they felt like they couldn't enter such establishments or something, but because quite frankly none of them had the money or were dressed well enough for a casino, so they just listlessly watched as people went in and came out from those pristine golden doors with money signs allover it.

Macao is an island City, and with it being a bit dose to midnight, the cool breeze from the sea had slowly spread across the city, leaving a bizarre chill in the air. The fact that they could feel it was weird, because since they were cultivators, they had bodies a little bit more resilient than the norm, so feeling cold should be completely out of the question, but then again this wasn't a reason to raise too much or if any alarm at all. As long as they were still within the mortal gate of cultivation realms, their bodies were still subject to a.s.sault from the elements and even normal mortal diseases, like Malaria, typhoid and even a common cold.

But it would take a really strong strain of those diseases to actually affect them, basically whatever causes those sicknesses, have to have been in contact with Qi and grown, evolve and adapted to it. But this was besides the point, there was a chill in the air, but this was a port city, such things were normal. Their exploration around the city eventually brought them to a Plaza with a fountain in the middle of it. There were quite a bit of coins in the fountain, giving away it's uses as a wis.h.i.+ng fountain.

All six of them would have loved to make a wish or two, but all they could do was look at said fountain as their empty pockets sang songs of desolation and emptiness to them. So they just busted themselves watching everyone who came to wish for something, most of which were tourists, but that was the norm with Macao. During their time watching and just taking their time to relax, Sabine noticed a man with a wide brimmed cowboys hat.

His presence wasn't really noticed at first as he stood right in front of the fountain, however barely two seconds later, Louis moved his head in the direction of the man, his perception allover the place as he could feel a weird vibe and form of energy from the man. Normally with these much people around, it would be hard to notice such a thing, but Louis really had a nose for danger, and this man even though he seemed harmless was giving off all sorts of very wrong vibes.

"Guys? I think we should..." Louis didn't get to finish his sentence when the man pushed his head back, his hat falling off as his body began to shake and his shadow, moved and danced in the weirdest of ways before settling into what they all recognized to be a door.

By that point, everyone else had realized that there was something off about the man, the sun subsequent beam of black and red light that shot out of his head into the sky, along with the tattoos on them, more than proved to all of them, that some weird s.h.i.+t was about to go down, though to be honest very few amongst the tourists, thought that this was just a tourist attraction stint of program, they were wrong.

The first demon to jump out went straight for Alex, they were actually a bit closer to the man, and were already prepared to make a move, but before Alex could make said move, there was a sharp gust of wind that slammed into the demon, throwing it into the fountain with a loud screech, before said guts came to settle on Alex's head, revealing a much larger Khan than before. But the demon wasn't dead, and not too long after it was joined by a friend, and their very no normal looks were familiar to some people, enough that their calling out of what these monsters were, was enough to completely spread the panic these monsters were looking for.

"DEMONSSSSS!!!" And in happy reply the demons raised their heads to the full moon above and...

*Rooooooaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr!!!"

They obviously had no idea what was going on, but with them in such close proximity with the demon gate, they had no other choice but to fight for their lives. They watched as on of the demons jumped out of the gate and onto a couple who were trying to move a bit farther back, one swipe from it's claws took off the head of the female, and a dip of it's head had it's jaws tightly clamped on the face of the male, shearing it off and leaving his with half a face, his chewed through brain, eyes, tongue and nose exposed to the world as he died slowly and painfully.

A golden whip with barbs on it's edge quickly wrapped around the neck of the demon, pulling it off the body of the man and into the air, before it was dragged back down, it's body smas.h.i.+ng into another on of it's comrades, with the force from it's fall causing the whip to rip through it's neck relieving if off it's body. Sabrina pulled back her whip as Sabine pulled out a chain sickle, and Sabina not being too far behind her sisters with a triple metal whip, each end connected sharp but tiny blades, their edge glowing an eerie purple and green.

Sabina's whip fell forward, perfectly splitting a demon into three equal parts as she an her sisters fell into a circle, the while suddenly dancing as if they had minds of their own. Alex and the boys were not too far behind, there were four ways in and out of this plaza, and it was rapidly becoming devoid of people, except for those willing to fight, however with each second that pa.s.sed more and more demons kept on popping out of the dark shadow door, Alex knew if they didn't do something about it, they would soon be overwhelmed. What was even worse was that they couldn't get to the man who was the root of all this, the demons had built a very tight barrier around him, protecting their gates and making sure no one could touch him and out a stop to whatever weird thing was going on here.

"Guys! We have to head to higher ground and away from the plaza if we get stuck here, it won't be nice." Alex said to them as he pointed at the building behind them. The others nodded as the girls made their lives first, their while stretching out and pulling them to the top of the buildings.

Yun Fao pulled out his Autumn Dao, foiled the weapon until he was holding it in reverse and then slashed forward, a beam of purple charged Lightning shot out of his Sabre smas.h.i.+ng into the ground of demons and splitting most of them into well hurt pieces, he took a step back just as Alex evaded the claw strike of a Demon, allowing the creature to over extend it's body, before he smashed his fist forward.

(Iron Viper Strike!)

The cheesy cavity of the demon burst open as it's guts, heart and an energy core came out of it's body, and it fell down dead, without a single sound. Khan swooped down, grabbing the energy core and shoving it into his mouth as he quickly turned back into wind and flew up towards the top of the building. Louis jumped forwards and clapped his hands together, releasing a sharp beam of light that caused all the demons to shrink as they crawled into themselves in an attempt to run away from the light, the boys were surprised by such a reaction, looks like the demons were very terrified of light.

The big turned and ran up the wall, utilizing their superior strength, agility and speed to scale it, until they were right on top of the four floored building, looking at as much of the city as they could, and they could see it was very much on fire.

"What the h.e.l.l is going on here, Young Master Alex, I think we've overstayed our welcome." Yun Fao said to Alex as he crouched down on the edge of the building. All Alex could say to him was…

"I know."
