Could it be that I am the cruel villain?-Chapter 797 - 457: Miss Cen Collapses (Part 2)

"Water Floods Jinshan..."

"Su Mu..."

The voice gradually became clearer from the blur.

The entire cave unexpectedly collapsed completely!

Countless trees exuding a Blood Evil aura broke through the ground under the guidance of a residual soul, mixed with surging tides, blocking the retreat within seconds.

The change came suddenly. Even Jiang Feng never expected a residual soul to be capable of such intricate Daoist Skills, refraining from pursuing further, but the gray eyes of the statue seemed to show a hint of mockery and pride, not chasing, just controlling the body to keep moving forward.

Seizing the opportunity to attack from the side, aiming a punch at Cen Yueyue's waist and abdomen.

Szz—

"Poisonous... again, yes."

The statue instinctively raised a hand.

Perhaps even this residual soul had forgotten that he no longer had a corporeal form, having no fear of poison.

"Miss, it does work; he fears poison."

"Hmm, do as I said. Don't engage directly; I have my ways to escape! Wind Stabilizing Bell, appear."

Shaking the copper bell in her hand, an invisible force immediately harnessed the surging tide, even in the pitch-black environment, they could smell the tide's inherent stench and evil aura. Yet, the wind field imposed a gap, forcing the originally grown trees aside, preventing them from blocking the retreat.

A young lady from a brothel still bit her finger, not because she truly wanted to slack off, but because before heading out, their elders convened the younger generation, discussing the precautions after entering the Old Capital, familiarizing them with each area. Despite changes in mountains and rivers, the old sites and general directions would not be mistaken.

The other focus was teaching them survival tactics.

"No haste, this should be the Water Ape Clan Leader who should have been dead long ago."

"A hundred years ago, he was crushed by the joint forces of various clans from the Southern Border and Dongyue, his Divine Soul scattered, and his body destroyed; even the statue symbolizing the Water Ape Ancestor was buried deep underground, never to see the light of day again. This residual soul is merely a trace of his obsession, tough as it is, but if we leave now, he won't pursue above ground."

"However, this lingering obsession still remains at Water Gate Pass even after elders said his corpse was fragmented, his soul shattered and divided, some buried deep, others sealed in towering rocks. Yet even wandering, it never was supposed to appear in such places."

"Did it truly smell the Gu Worm and flee, or was it attracted by your red Gu Worm's familiar scent, leading it to follow the waterway down?"

She opened her mouth.

Initially, she intended to be defiant, for Miss Cen's specialty was red-skinned ducks, but even she couldn't think of any rebuttal.

Because the damned Water Monkey targeted her and Jiang Feng with each move, they were the only ones carrying Xu Huoyao, recalling that Xu Huoyao indeed emerged in Dongyue's battlefield, despite being incomplete, it caused considerable disaster.

She stopped speaking, venting her anger on the Water Ape Stone Statue, flames burned fiercely, and the Phoenix Feather stabbed directly at its chest. Yet, it was just a hunk of stone, unaware of pain and devoid of senses.

Soon she found it overwhelming.

"Xiao Yu, keep fooling it with poison mist!"

Qingluan's actions continued, finally taking the finger out of her mouth.

Her fingers were evenly bitten with two small holes, blood constantly oozed out, Jiang Feng assisted Yue Yue, joining her to maneuver with the Water Ape Stone Statue, all while retreating slowly. The duo after their Dual Cultivation indeed had great synergy, not even needing verbal communication to understand how to creep through the gap torn by the Wind Stabilizing Bell...

Creeping.

But then suddenly they felt a weight behind them.

Qingluan unexpectedly lunged and landed on his back. Moreover, Qingluan used her bloodstained fingers to streak across the man's face who was maintaining Sword Qi next to them.

"What are you doing!?"

The Sword Qi nearly stalled, almost causing a backlash.

"I have medicine; if you value your life, keep silent!"

Qingluan's rare dominance.

"You..."

Bang!

Aware of the approaching Water Ape Stone Statue, another streak of Sword Qi sped towards its ankles, attempting to impede its advance, letting that small hand roam freely over his face. Naturally, Miss Cen heard this clearly.

She nearly bit through her silver teeth, but no matter how the situation unfolded, only Qingluan, familiar with the locality, might devise a way to rid this nuisance. Her eyes seemed to spew fire; no, they seemed already flaming, the broad underground riverbed enveloped in scorching mist, the temperature rising sharply.

Somehow, she began feeling slightly dizzy.

The hand continued to roam over Jiang Feng's face.

Warm, damp, blood flowed down from the forehead, smeared evenly with her palm over his eye sockets. The effect was like face paint, oddly amusing, yet Qingluan furrowed her brows.

After finishing the art, she spoke.

"Young Master, go help Miss Cen hold it off."

"Okay."

He leapt forward.

Though uncertain what she marked on his face, the Ancient Form Intent Six Harmonies True Body within Mr. Jiang had formed a nascent stage, as evidenced by catching the Water Ape Stone Statue's punch earlier with mere blood spitting.

Cen Yueyue showed no intention of leaving, yet Qingluan's form already floated forward, noticing that unbeknownst to them the tide was waist-deep, most of their bodies submerged, their Spiritual Energy being suppressed.

Behind them was another weight.

The Water Ape Stone Statue punched towards the assisting Jiang Feng, Cen Yueyue instinctively wanted to help, but Qingluan's hand gripped her tightly like candle wax.

"What are you doing? Release me; he can't hold it alone..."

Before the words fell, the Water Ape's movements suddenly halted.

It resembled a frozen screen, standing unmoved, seizing the moment Jiang Feng flipped his iron wire, delivering a hard strike at the Water Ape's right hand.

Fragments scattered.

Beneath many eyes, unbelievably, Jiang Feng shattered the Water Ape Stone Statue's right hand.

The principle of thermal expansion and contraction known to elementary students stated that even premium stones would soften under repeated Li Fire and Water immersion, yet what astonished him was the Water Monkey's sudden inertia?

"Our bloodline is superior; as a branch of the Imperial Family, once under our governance, with my blood and this Yuan Family mask, it can't distinguish who we are."

Her tongue moved nimbly; she used the same method to draw on Cen Yueyue's face, eliciting admiration from the young lady, who'd never seen such a technique, her big eyes bouncing constantly, the Li Fire still alight in her hand.

Witnessing the statue ranting "Southern Border beasts," Cen Yueyue showed no courtesy, raising her hand to gather Spiritual Energy

Then slowly closed her eyes...

"Young Master Jiang, I've finished painting; let's go... Ah?"

Cen Yueyue's body softened and collapsed onto the ground.

"What's going on!"

An immediate furious yell, face turning pale, suspected injuries from the earlier battle?

"You think grand-aunt is scared? A residual soul dares spout nonsense!"

"Southern Border swine, die..."

"Heavenly Gang Beidou Seal!"

The rush of water froze mid-air, suspended, after all it was merely the Water Ape Clan Leader 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Direct confrontation equaled elite, bodies retreated two zhangs,

Cen Yueyue's character was just like this,

Li Fire immediately flared from her body, preparing a frontal assault, though the Water Ape Stone Statue appeared eerie, but truly not a living being,.
