Could it be that I am the cruel villain?-Chapter 814 - 465: Slaying the Water Ape (Part 2)

A sword scar was left on the shoulder on the spot.

"Dodge!"

Cen Yueyue swiftly moved forward from behind, and after Jiang Feng had just finished unleashing his Sword Qi, she pulled the man behind her with a small but forceful hand maneuver. Like a mother hen protecting her chicks, she spread her Fiery Phoenix Wings, forcibly fanning back the incoming gust of wind.

Her body burst into flames, and under such circumstances, she naturally had no need to hold back. Facing an opponent of this caliber, anyone who held back would only invite chaos. Waves and surges poured in from all directions, and strange black liquid flowed through every crevice of the rocks.

This black liquid was also a special technique of the Hou Clan Leader. If one were enveloped by it, it could continuously devour the person's Divine Soul and Spiritual Energy. The nature of the Sunflower Water was never-ending, nourishing all things like spring water, and this subtle erosion was a deadly threat to anyone.

The water mist dispersed in the air, difficult to capture with the naked eye in an already moist climate. However, the Li Fire in Cen Yueyue's hand was not to be trifled with. Although due to her realm and experience she couldn't use Li Fire to suppress Sunflower Water outright, blocking it in a small area was naturally no problem.

"Li Fire, appear!"

She shouted with a delicate yet firm voice.

Under exquisite control, the Li Fire immediately drew a line on the ground, creating an isolated barrier, preventing the Sunflower Water from seeping in. It burned the surrounding water mist into steam, and this time, to avoid the mistake of poisoning herself and fainting, she specifically focused and held her breath, being very meticulous.

In combat, one plus one always results in an effect greater than two, and the reason for Jiang Feng's much improved performance compared to a few days ago is quite simple.

The Thunder Pattern had vanished.

Yes, previously, whether facing Kui Ying or the first confrontation with the Hou Clan Leader, Jiang Feng couldn't even utilize half his strength, let alone fully display his skills. He also had to focus on suppressing the negative effects of the Thunder Pattern. So, yesterday, the first request Jiang Feng made was to get rid of this annoyance.

Originally used as a means to prevent others from stealing skills, once the Thunder Pattern no longer clashed or interfered, Jiang Feng found himself as the invincible person he once was. His techniques and combat became exceptionally smooth. Meanwhile, a painted face appeared once again on Qingluan's face, though unnoticed as to when.

He held a small, exquisite, and ancient bell, gently shaking it.

Ding-ling-ling—

His expression turned momentarily dazed.

Not those present, but the one-armed Hou Clan Leader.

The expression on its face evidently turned dull, confusion and bewilderment flickered in its eyes. Specializing in Divine Soul and Sunflower Water, she naturally couldn't be compared to this clan leader in the aspect of Sunflower Water, but her research into the Divine Soul had proven beneficial, making the Hou Clan Leader look towards Qingluan with extreme terror.

"Empress... This subject deserves death, this subject... No, you're not... How dare you deceive and insult the Empress! Die, everyone die for me!"

In panic and fear, the influence of the mask and Soul Summoning Bell made the Hou Clan Leader's actions hesitant. At first, unable to recognize, it almost knelt, but once it discerned, immediately became furious.

The poison mist filled the air, forcing the Hou Clan Leader to retreat repeatedly, even covering its mouth and nose, a sight that left the disciples of Divine Thunder Valley dumbfounded. They couldn't have predicted that this cold stone would react to the poison mist; this was a unique advantage of Qingluan.

Having a local indeed makes a difference.

"Slash!"

With an angry shout, eight flying swords soared into the air!

The rain of swords swirled in the air. Though the number wasn't much, each flying sword glowed with light, attacking from various cunning angles. Although each sword couldn't be lethal, they left the already damaged Spirit Communication Stone covered in scars, with the couple alternating in seamless cooperation.

Whenever Jiang Feng finished using his Daoist Skill, Cen Yueyue would pull her partner behind her and shield him, taking the front. Conversely, whenever Cen Yueyue seemed spent after using her Daoist Skill, Jiang Feng would immediately step forward to protect her from behind.

The five individuals from Divine Thunder Valley played a substantial role as well, mainly due to having Lei Chuyu, an expert at the Nascent Soul Stage. He could directly confront the Hou Clan Leader, sharing the burden, and the effect can be well imagined.

This demonstrated the advantage of numbers,

Expressions filled with surprise, even other disciples of Divine Thunder Valley almost dropped their eyeballs in astonishment. As they say, the vast sea allows fish to leap, the high sky lets birds fly. Once entering Dongyue territory, Jiang Feng vaguely sensed an abnormality within his body, especially as he found it difficult to smoothly employ his Daoist Skill.

Entering

Even Lei Chuyu couldn't catch Jiang Feng's speed of attack, finding it hard to believe for a moment. Although the two didn't have much interaction, furthermore
