Could it be that I am the cruel villain?-Chapter 820 - 469: Upstream Against the Current (Part 2)

Counting carefully, there were approximately nine people.

The figures darted swiftly within the blood-red forest, the crimson curtain of rain in front still expanding, the running continued. After reaching the ground, they were impacted by the sealing effect, making their bodies feel much heavier than before. More unsettling was the strange attraction from the red downpour behind.

It was as if someone was forcefully pulling them from behind, making each step forward increasingly difficult. Yet Jiang Feng remained silent and advanced rapidly, while Cen Yueyue surprisingly did not get jealous and instead reached out to pull Xiao Yu along to keep up with the main group.

The surrounding rainwater continued to exhibit a bizarre blood-red hue, still constantly climbing upwards. The closer they ran towards the boundary of the rain curtain, the slower the rain ascended. However, the pull from behind grew stronger. Nevertheless, Jiang Feng was still at the forefront of the group, even while carrying someone, he was the fastest.

Even Lei Chuyu, who had already formed a Nascent Soul, couldn't catch up, making him doubt his own realm. What did this kid grow up on? How could his physical ability be so monstrous?

Bam—

His whole body drenched in the scarlet rain; the eerie scene was enough to stop a crying child. Accompanied by a low growl, Jiang Feng stubbornly used his shoulder to force open a breach through the terrible rain curtain and gravitational pull.

"Stay close to me!"

Instantly, his body felt released, the pull from behind seemingly vanished. The running continued for another half a cup of tea's time before stopping after finding a sufficiently large and sturdy boulder.

Turning back.

Only then did he realize that everyone except Lei Chuyu was panting heavily. Only Cen Yueyue's expression was slightly better, yet Jiang Feng, who was still holding someone in his arms, seemed completely unaffected. The effectiveness of the Ancient Form Intent Six Harmonies True Body was evident at such a moment; if they only compared physical combat without considering spiritual energy, Lei Chuyu, standing beside him, would have been beaten down.

"Qingluan, Qingluan."

He gently shook her a few times.

Her long, narrow eyes slowly opened, showing that her pupils were slightly unfocused, but she quickly regained clarity, giving Jiang Feng a confirming look to indicate she was okay. However, her weak expression revealed she was definitely not feeling well.

The last time she used Moving Flower and Jade to forcibly evacuate four people off the battlefield, it took her a whole day to recover. Although this time the distance wasn't as far as before, carrying nine people exerted considerable pressure on her, and no one expected Kui Ying to employ such a bizarre move.

After breaking through the rain curtain, there was no more rain. Looking back, the scene was as terrifying as Hell; even through the blood rain, you could see illusions at the spot they just broke through, perpetually reliving the battles and slaughter as if alive.

Various Demon Beasts also appeared out of nowhere, and the illusions became increasingly solid. The dull sounds of collision and combat made it hard to believe this was an illusion; no matter how you viewed it, it seemed like a real scene.

"Fish Leaping Dragon Gate is a Forbidden Technique of Dongyue, mastered only by Kui Ying's lineage through blood inheritance and successive monarchs from ancient times to the present."

The voice was very weak.

"It was previously difficult to explain clearly to everyone, but now that you've seen it, you should be able to guess what this Fish Leaping Dragon Gate truly entails."

"It relies on the unique memory capacity of Sunflower Water to recreate past events of a particular place, simulating the scenes with powerful cultivation. It is truly a Forbidden Technique."

"It is said that many years ago during a Demon Clan crisis that breached the borders of Dongyue, Dongyue was in the midst of a regime transition between a new and old king, and a struggle for the throne erupted among princes, causing great chaos. During this turmoil, numerous Exotic Beasts of Dongyue went to halt the invasion."

"The fierce battle in front of the Old Capital lasted three months without pause. It was only with Kui Ying's intervention that the Demon Clan army was barely repelled and the city defended. Since then, Kui Ying has been celebrated as an auspicious beast within our Dongyue territory... cough, cough."

"That battle marked the first appearance of Fish Leaping Dragon Gate, using Sunflower Water to document everything that occurred on the battlefield and forcibly reinstating it with the Forbidden Technique. The more severe the casualties in the depicted area, the more chaotic the war, the more terrifying the power that is reproduced."

"This Kui Ying currently hasn't experienced that ancient chaos, but… it appears there are remains of its ancestors nearby, enabling it to barely achieve this re-enactment. Even though it is still young, the Cultivators it recreated probably all possess Core Formation level, and such a vast battlefield… it's better to avoid confrontation for now."

"Young Master, let me down. Qingluan is fine, just needs a short rest."

No refusal.

He carefully placed Qingluan on the ground. Although her complexion was pale and devoid of color, it was much better than her first time using the technique. Mainly because the distance wasn't as vast, and additionally, she had prepared this time, with various Elixirs in her mouth, not only those she prepared herself, but also those treasured by Cen Yueyue were given to her, all to save everyone's lives in such moments.

By this time, the startled Divine Thunder Valley disciples finally understood what had occurred. Even Lei Chuyu was listening exceptionally seriously, not missing a word. Listening to Qingluan's account filled them with some fear. Just now, the rain curtain almost centered around this Demon Beast, with a perimeter encompassing hundreds of yards, and its range continued to expand.

With the remains of an Ancient Beast here, one could only imagine the kind of brutal war that erupted nearby. Just now, there were already a hundred people appearing near them!

If this pattern continues, when the rain curtain fully expands to the limit of Kui Ying's power, the number of recreated Cultivators might exceed a thousand.

Gulp—

Adam's apple rolling.

Without a word, they immediately stepped forward, clasping their hands gratefully.

"Thank you, miss, for saving us!"

"Thank you, Miss Qingluan. I, Lei, owe another favor, and there will definitely be a return in the future!"

Even now, they haven't fully recovered from the terror just moments ago.

Similarly, not only Cultivators gained benefits, but Demon Beasts as well,

Some were eager to try, some filled with greed, and others indignant. Each had their own thoughts as they carefully explored the deep scarlet land, gradually moving toward the devastating commotion.

The commotion continued, growing increasingly chaotic. Even without stepping into the blood-red reverse rainstorm area, one could see the astonishing scene, including the Thunder Dragon spiraling in the air and deep purple Thunder Light Pearl, and the continuous clashes and battles astounded everyone.

This place is unlike the outside world; with Spiritual Energy and Divine Sense heavily suppressed, it is exceedingly difficult for ordinary Cultivators to freely display Daoist Skills. Creating such a commotion at the Nascent Soul Stage is certainly a testament to one's capability. Some with sharp vision

The Divine Thunder Valley disciples immediately took position in four directions
