Who is the better villain?
[Tai Lung's POV]
Who would've thought that Lord Shen and his minions would be camping out in such an obvious location and that too so close to the city?
"Interesting." I said and looked around at the cultivated farmland that spread out as far as the eye could see. They were growing rice, pulses, potatoes, beans etc and right at the center of the fields were huge buildings raging from storage, houses and greenhouses.
But the Gorilla and wolf guards patrolling the surroundings told me that these buildings were not used as they were supposed to be. Something bigger and more serious than simple grains and farm tools were housed inside these buildingd.
I took in the scent of gunpowder and iron coming from the buildings and I could already guess what was inside.
"But how can Shen get himself such a great and obvious hideout?" I asked myself. The whole thing was too convenient. The fact that it was near the main road so that cannons could be easily transported, the way it was on a farm where the soldiers could get sufficient rations, the location which was close to the city but at the same time very well hidden from everyone else.
It was too good to be true. The whole thing told me that there was a deeper plot to it.
I could stand here and think about it or I could go attack the guards and ask them directly. After a few seconds of contemplation, the choice became obvious.
"Violence it is." I said with an evil smile before I approached the place guarded by patrolling wolves and Gorillas.
I quickly walked through the dirt road leading to the center and it did not take long for the guards to notice me.
"Hey!! You!! Did you not see the sign!! Get out of here!!" A giant gorilla came up to me with two other wolf soldiers.
I did indeed see the sign that says it was the private property of Zhang Wi, the patriarch of the Wi noble house but I was pretty sure Lord Shen and his goons were not of the Wi house.
"Are you deaf beggar? I said LEAVE!!" The Gorilla seemed to have a short temper as he came up to me quickly. I swiftly took down my hood and he stopped on his track.
"Are you sure you want to do this monkey?" I asked and all three of them were rooted on the spot. I smiled in satisfaction, the only time I liked being feared.
Like everything in life, being feared has its good and bad sides.
Not long after, one of the wolves turned around and sprinted towards the building, possibly to inform the others of my presence.
I did not say anything and let the wolf run away from me. Then I continued walking towards the building and even when I walked pass the two remaining guards, they did not do anything.
But when I walked past them and my back was turned against them, they thought they could launch a surprise attack ay me.
"Haaaaa!!!!" The wolf soldier swiped his sword at me from behind. Idiot, screaming out loud destroys the whole purpose of a surprise attack.
But I could understand, it must've taken a lot of courage to even attack me from behind. He could not be blamed for screaming out to calm his nerves and to push down his fears.
I quickly turned around and chomped down on the incoming swords that was aiming for the back of my neck. My canines clamped down on the steel and easily broke it into pieces.
Then in one effortless motion, I kicked his knee and it immediately overextended and bent the wrong way. When you are afraid and put everything behind an attack, your muscles tensed up and you become unaware of where you even put your body weight.
This time, the wolf put all of his weight on one leg to spin and swing as hard as he could. A big mistake as a small pressure caused him to break his limb.
*crack!*
He let out a shrill of pain like a kicked puppy before he quickly fell on the ground. His gorilla friend swung his giant arms at me in a hook.
Gorillas were born with powerful torsos and their arms were one of the strongest pairs in all of the animal kingdom. So a casual swing of the Gorilla held enough strength to make a whistling sound as it whipped towards me.
It was nothing compared to the likes of Master Rhino though.
I weaved past the hook and delivered an uppercut to his chin that shook his brain and immediately made his body limp. I did not stop there as I hugged his huge arms and tugged as hard as I could.
If he wanted to buy time, I could let him.
"Oh, I thought I'd visit before leaving the city. You seemed to be in a hurry the last time we met so we did not have a proper reunion." I said with a smile on my face as I confidently folded my arms.
"Tell me, do you still cry when the maids forget to put warm water in your bathtub?" I asked and I saw his eyes twitch. We were old acquaintances who knew each other even during our childhood so I was aware of these things.
He acted more flabbergasted and upset than he actually was to buy time. He was a great actor as I saw him choke on my words and his eyes turned angry.
"Y-You insolent cat! Do you want me to tell this to Shifu? You will cry again if Daddy dearest scolds you." He snapped back at me and I choked on my own breath.
I coughed a couple of times to shrug off my embarrassment before I said, "I did not cry. I was just teary."
"Sure you were." He drawls and turned back to look at his canons. When he saw that his weapons were ready, a crazy smile appeared on his face.
"But this would make daddy cry for sure!!!" He said and leapt back. His wings spread out as he floated backwards and he landed on one of his cannons.
The gorillas pushed the cannons and they destroyed the wall. Finally, six dragon-shaped cannons appeared and aimed towards me.
I stayed in my place and my arms remained folded. A confident smile that borderlined sadistic was on my face.
