I'm Really a Villain-Chapter 1197: Four Symbols Formation, Slaying

Ye Mi swung his right hand, and the crowd around immediately surrounded Jiang Mozi.

Each of them eyed Jiang Mozi and his group of students with predatory gazes.

"Ye Mi, what are you trying to do?" Jiang Mozi hurriedly asked.

"Surely you're not losing your temper and attempting to abuse your authority?

The prestigious Nine Ghosts Academy, is this all the tolerance it has?"

"I'm not that petty," Ye Mi said calmly.

"But right now, I suspect you have ties to malevolent forces, so I need your cooperation in an investigation.

Until this matter is resolved, neither you nor they are allowed to leave."

After speaking, Ye Mi turned to Xu Zimei and said, "Young Master Xu, this is an internal affair of Nine Ghosts Academy and has nothing to do with you.

If you wish to leave, the doors to the north are always open—you're welcome anytime."

Xu Zimei chuckled; Ye Mi certainly had a well-justified reasoning.

In terms of both justification and propriety, he left no room for criticism.

"What if I insist on intervening?" Xu Zimei countered.

He glanced at Jiang Mozi, only to see Jiang Mozi and the others looking at him with eyes full of plea.

"If they truly are involved with malevolent forces, I wouldn't interfere in your academy's internal affairs."

Xu Zimei said calmly, "But doing this, isn't it just disgusting me for no reason?

What's your goal—knocking the mountain to scare the tiger?"

"Interpret it however you want," Ye Mi responded indifferently.

"In any case, this remains our internal matter."

"If that's how you're putting it, this internal matter is precisely what I'll concern myself with," Xu Zimei retorted, equally sharp.

"Ye Mi, what's there to talk to him about," an elder of the Four Symbols spoke out.

"Just take them down directly."

Ye Mi hesitated for a moment, weighing the pros and cons, and pondering whether he could be a match for Xu Zimei.

"What's there to hesitate about, Ye Mi?

If you won't act, then I shall," the elder of the Four Symbols snorted coldly.

"As a Hall Elder of the Enforcement Hall, do you lack even this much courage?"

"Enough," Ye Mi interrupted flatly, giving an order, "Lay down the formation."

Immediately, the Four Symbols elders rose into the air, surrounding Xu Zimei and his group.

"You killed countless students from my Black Tortoise Lineage. Today, you won't escape death," the elder of the Black Tortoise Lineage said coldly.

"Just you lot?" Xu Zimei chuckled lightly.

The Black Tortoise elder said nothing, instead pulling out an item from his sleeve.

It was a turtle shell, shrunk countless times in size.

He tossed the turtle shell into the air, and it immediately expanded a thousandfold.

The shell covered a quarter of the firmament, emanating an obscure and unfathomable aura.

Meanwhile, the other three elders.

The elder from the Azure Dragon Lineage produced a dragon scale.

The scale transformed into an Azure Dragon that paced through the void, its roars echoing continuously, its dragon might vast and boundless.

From the White Tiger Lineage, the elder held the third eye of a White Tiger in his hand.

The eye emitted a brilliant white glow before the massive form of the White Tiger leaped into view.

The tiger's ferocious aura was overwhelming, subjugating everything.

The elder from the Vermilion Bird Lineage held a fiery plume of the Vermilion Bird.

The feather was lifelike, with flames writhing along its edges.

When the feather was tossed into the void, it immediately transformed into the image of the Vermilion Bird, flames roaring fiercely.

Half the sky was dyed a deep crimson.

A long, resonant cry of the Vermilion Bird echoed across the heavens, lingering for ages.

The four elders positioned themselves at the cardinal directions, encircled by the Four Symbols, their momentum immense.

Dragons contended with tigers, birds called, turtles leapt.

When the Four Symbols appeared, a matching fourfold might surged upwards, conjuring a curtain of light that descended from all sides.

"Young Master Xu, there's still time to repent and retreat," Ye Mi spoke emotionlessly as he floated in the air.

"Shrimp soldiers and crab generals like you aren't worthy," Xu Zimei retorted.

"Since you're being ungrateful, we've tried courtesy and need not waste words further," Ye Mi replied.

With a sweep of his hand, the Mountains and Rivers Diagram materialized in his grasp.

"What's this? You're using the formation meant to suppress malevolence on me?" Xu Zimei laughed.

"You're no different from it, equally malignant," Ye Mi stated.

The Mountain and Rivers Diagram expanded dozens of times, sealing off the sky above.

The splendid peaks and rivers surged like boundless power descending from the heavens.

The Four Symbols roared; chaos enveloped the sky.

"Mountains and Rivers Seal," Ye Mi shouted, striking downward with his right hand.

A vast rectangular seal hurtled toward Xu Zimei and his companions.

"Protect them," Xu Zimei instructed Xie Changliu with a glance.

Then he turned his gaze skyward, drawing Tyrant Shadow, shattering the seal in an instant.

Ascending into the air, blade energy surged outward like a tide, threatening to shatter the heavens.

"Rumble, rumble!" sounds reverberated against the curtain of light sealing them in.

"Four Symbols Suppression!" The Four Symbols elders roared in unison, channeling endless power into the sealing light curtain.

Xu Zimei sneered, "Demonic Ten Skills, the fifth: Human Demon Technique.

Annihilator of All Things."

As his words fell, the Prison Suppressor Demon Body activated, surging forth infinite power.

Demonic Qi swept across the sky, drowning everything.

Unparalleled strength filled his body, veins, and True Fate.

"Annihilation!" With a swing of Tyrant Shadow, Demonic Qi coursed in his eyes.

The blade emitted force like an ocean, endlessly surging.

Each strike against the seal multiplied its strength many times over,

Carrying apocalyptic might.

The light curtain began to tremble violently.

"Hold on!" Ye Mi's expression stiffened as he shouted.

The four elders gritted their teeth, continually pouring power into the seal, trying to reinforce it.

But Xu Zimei's strikes with Tyrant Shadow grew increasingly swift and powerful.

After dozens of strikes, the blade imbued with boundless demonic energy shattered the seal in one fell swoop.

Like a rainbow, Demonic Qi soared into the skies, filling the void.

Xu Zimei ascended, watching as the Four Symbols crumbled with anguished cries, then pointed his blade at Ye Mi.

"Mountains and Rivers Diagram, protect me!" Ye Mi shouted in panic.

Xu Zimei snorted coldly, retrieving the Book of Life and Death.

The book transformed into a beam of black and white light, flying toward the Mountains and Rivers Diagram.

The two great artifacts, each imbued with spirit, clashed fiercely on their own.

Xu Zimei, gripping Tyrant Shadow, walked toward Ye Mi step by step.

"Mixed Yuan Palm," Ye Mi exclaimed, channeling Mixed Yuan Qi into his palms and striking at Xu Zimei.

Xu Zimei's Tyrant Shadow sliced cleanly through.

The palm strike dissipated into nothingness, and blood splattered as two long wounds appeared on Ye Mi's hands.

"Decide how you wish to die," Xu Zimei said coldly.

Ye Mi glanced at him once, then turned and fled rapidly toward the depths of Nine Ghosts Academy.

Xu Zimei chuckled darkly, "Do you think you can escape?"

With a swift strike of Tyrant Shadow, a heaven-shaking blade of energy sped forward at the speed of light.

Such a move was far beyond Ye Mi's ability to evade.

The blade's brilliance faded, followed by a piercing scream.
