Could it be that I am the cruel villain?-Chapter 818 - 468: Fish Leaping Dragon Gate (Part 2)

His explosive power was undeniable, even Cen Yueyue didn't dare claim she could withstand Jiang Feng's full-force strike. What was needed was a stable enough environment for him to unleash his moves. The Sword Qi, spanning dozens of feet, almost came crashing down head-on, causing even the massive body hovering in mid-air through water vapor to lose its balance.

With a dull thud, it crashed heavily to the ground!

The terrifying power made even Lei Chuyu's eyelids twitch twice. The tail twisted, and the snake-like body swelled continuously; its scales stood on end, the ferocity in its eyes intensified. Once again, it gathered the Thunder Light to collide with the opposing force, making the intense battlefield an unmissable sight for everyone.

The Daoist skills in the world are countless, and the Five Elements Taoism is even more innumerable. Since the Five Elements Taoism mutually promote and restrain each other, no one could tell who was superior until now. But if asked which family's magic battle was the most exciting and spectacular, everyone would unanimously answer.

Thunder.

As the fiercest among the elements, the three top experts exercising Thunder Techniques, seemingly clumsy Kui Ying, refused to back down. Two strands of purple Thunder Light and red Thunder Light intertwined, highlighting the inherently terrifying advantages of demon beasts that allowed them to gain the upper hand in such situations.

Boom!

Another thunderclap.

Throughout the entire process, Cen Yueyue remained silent, unusually quiet, not because her fierce personality had improved, but because she was concentrating on her little maneuvers.

The Gu Worms on her body were continuously spreading out, remaining inconspicuous under the blood-red sky. Coldly, she also exercised Li Fire to harass, occasionally exchanging attacks and defenses with Jiang Feng, relieving her man's burden a little.

During the battle, not only Cen Yueyue but even within Jiang Feng's body, an inconspicuous pink gas occasionally drifted out. With a powerful inhale, Kui Ying's swallowing motion drew in all the Blood Evil Qi from the surroundings, making his internal power even more terrifying. At the same time, the pink mist mixed in with the blood rain silently entered Kui Ying's body.

It was Xu Huoyao.

Not only Cen Yueyue had Xu Huoyao, but Jiang Feng also had a very plump larva residing near his Dantian. Normally, it would just snooze, digesting Blood Food, and then feeding the digested power back to the mother body.

Upon command, the Mother Worm immediately began to breed, spewing countless little Gu Worms into Kui Ying's body. Xu Huoyao's power was undeniable, as an ordinary person might be controlled within a few breaths. If a cultivator of a similar realm failed to notice it in time, likely half a cup of tea's work would suffice to capture them.

But clearly, the Kui Ying in front of them didn't fall into the "ordinary person" category.

The Gu Worms, once inside, began to spread and breed like crazy. Kui Ying's body was the perfect breeding ground for Xu Huoyao, but the problem was Kui Ying's enormous size, which was almost skyscraper-like. Even allowing Xu Huoyao to breed inside it, reaching a threatening scale would take two to three hours.

Yet at this moment, a string of water droplets flickered past the boy's side. The slow speed made Jiang Feng immediately alert, stopping even his half-cast Daoist Skill abruptly and shouting at Lei Chuyu nearby.

"Come back! Something's not right, look at the side!"

"Hm?"

Though Lei Chuyu was enjoying the battle, he wasn't one to linger in unnecessary fights. He quickly retreated under the array protection of the four in Divine Thunder Valley, only to be shocked, realizing the torrential rain wasn't behaving as imagined.

The rain, dyed blood-red, wasn't cascading from top to bottom; instead, an unusual spectacle unfolded where it flowed backwards!

At first, the descent was slow, gradually growing slower; the raindrops became stationary mid-air and then began to reverse upwards. The crowd was shocked, especially Jiang Feng, who immediately looked towards Qingluan.

"What did you just say this was, fish, Fish Leaping Dragon Gate or something like that? What kind of technique is this? Is there a way to counter it?"

Qingluan shook her head.

Her expression showed a hint of a bitter smile.

"Young master, if I knew, I wouldn't have remained silent. I only know the name of this technique, mentioned once or twice by elders. The omen before its activation is controlling the weather, the rain flowing backwards."

"As for the effect of the technique and its might, I know nothing."

"The only thing I know is that this forbidden Daoist skill in Dongyue is related to Sunflower Water and affects others' minds. If you're worried…"

Crack—

The ground broke, revealing cracks.

Despite being severely injured, the terrifying power Kui Ying exhibited at this moment shocked everyone present. Jiang Feng gritted his teeth and swiftly retrieved a treasure from the Qiankun Bag. Encased by a purple dragon, dazzling with electric light, the ugly iron wire in his hand vanished, replaced by a smooth, slick, heavy three-foot Green Blade emitting a cold gleam.

The Yin Yang Demon-slaying Sword.

This was his first time using this sword, a reward originally given to the little junior sister by the sect.

Holding their breath and concentrating, the nine people became extraordinarily vigilant, retreating and gathering together, trying to huddle up and use their Magic Treasures to ward off the water now surging toward the sky…

"Kill! The foreign beasts dare infiltrate the capital city, death!"

The sudden shout from behind threw everyone present into disarray!

The strong wind grazed past their heads, paralyzing the disciple named Jin An from Divine Thunder Valley with fear. His long knife cut through his topknot, but the quickest to react was Jiang Feng, who flipped the Yin Yang Demon-slaying Sword back into an attack.

A sword through the heart!

"This, what is this?"

Not the imagined pool of blood, nor death; the body pierced through solidified like a phantasm before dissipating. Upon turning around, they realized the nine of them were already in the middle of a battlefield!

Numerous cultivators dressed in Dongyue attire were engaged in battle, involving various forces from all over the country and even infighting among Dongyue disciples. Daoist skills bombarded indiscriminately, Divine Weapons flying everywhere making it unclear if this was illusion or reality.

Vigorously shaking the Soul Summoning Bell at his waist, but the bell was unresponsive. Seeing the giant axe coming, Jiang Feng surprisingly didn't dodge, blocking it with his longsword instead.

Clang—

Judging by the severe pain from his palm, this was definitely not, nor could it be an illusion.

The chaos on the field continued, the people on the battlefield continued to slaughter each other, and witnessing this, Qingluan finally hesitated no more. The family crest appeared between her brows, as her jade-like hand quickly formed a Daoist Seal.

"Moving Flower and Jade."

In an instant, the group including Jiang Feng completely vanished, leaving only the eerie battlefield echoing with countless sounds of fighting.

The intense battle naturally attracted the attention of many creatures; not only humans but also many demon beasts sensed the unusual activities nearby and fled.

"What is that place?"

"I don't know. It appears to be close to the Old Dongyue, we cannot extend our Earth Rank Spiritual Sense. Shall we investigate?"

"Experts are dueling, judging by the movement, could it be that enormous demon beast from before?"

"Most likely so, who is so reckless as to dare provoke…"

"Taiyi Sect disciples, follow me to investigate, be careful on the way. If common demon beasts attack, avoid engaging."

"Joyful Sect disciples, listen to the order…"

"Where are the descendants of the Lang Family? Someone is besieging our Dong Yue Sacred Beast. Even if we lose our minds now, we shouldn't let foreigners provoke. Quickly capture them!"

Voices came from all directions.

Countless young cultivators, the geniuses of various clans, had already ventured into the core area of this seven-hundred-mile region. Sensing the anomalies in the distance, everyone couldn't control their curiosity; some were eager to try, others eyes filled with greed, while some were utterly indignant.

This place, unlike the outside world, in Spiritual Energy and

Divine Thunder Valley disciples immediately took a position in the four directions.

At a glance, Dongyue's upper echelons seemed somewhat unscrupulous, under the guise of eradicating harm for the people, they invited many young disciples to this wasteland, in reality using these young disciples to clean their own backyard of weeds. Besides, this terrible place can't even be called weeds.

Fraught with danger, Nascent Soul Stage

These were all Fierce Beasts eroded by Blood Evil.

But in fact... this was already the result of Dongyue's efforts to clear.

Since being designated a forbidden place, every thirty years or so, the seal would be broken, dispatching a batch of top-level experts to come. Various prominent families would flatten the land separately, sending almost nothing but mainstays above Divinity Transformation Stage, all in order to

capture those Spiritual Beasts affected by altered minds.

Nearly two hundred years of time was wholly sufficient

Basically, every few decades, a batch of experts would be sent into this region
