I Truly Am The Villian

"The path of the ascetic monk is long and winding, setbacks are natural when you encounter them," Mi Tian pressed his palms together and said.

"Little monk, why don't you give it a try, then," Ji Jiuning lifted her gown and smiled faintly.

"Why not taste the matters of love in this world? Even if you die for it, it's worth it."

"Love is poison; it is not to be tasted, not to be tasted," Mi Tian hurriedly waved his hand and stepped back.

Behind his head, circles of radiant light appeared.

Like an Arhat descending to the human world, multitudes of auspicious clouds drifted forth.

Mi Tian waved his right hand, and the Buddha Beads he held were thrown out, instantly enlarging dozens of times in the void.

The murmurs of Arhats reverberated within.

The Buddha Beads rotated, aiming to imprison the North Fox behind Ji Jiuning.

Ji Jiuning was not one to retreat either. The North Fox cried softly, spitting neon-like rays of light to attack the Buddha Beads.

And so, the two began their battle.

......…

Xu Zimei turned his gaze back toward Heavenly King Xiang.

The Ragefire Giant clashed fiercely with the Dragon Demon, Zhurong's Flame was truly formidable, capable of incinerating all beneath the heavens, leaving nothing unscathed.

The Dragon Demon was completely overwhelmed.

Heavenly King Xiang's face showed urgency, boundless imperial might spread around him, majestic and vast.

"Dragon Demon Strangulation!" Heavenly King Xiang roared.

On his right hand, endless spiritual energy converged as demonic attributes surged incessantly.

From atop the Dragon Demon's head, it was as if a Heavenly Gate had opened, countless amounts of Demonic Qi streaming into its Demon Body.

The Dragon Demon opened its bloodthirsty maw, growing even larger, its black body crackling with lightning as it wrapped around the Ragefire Giant.

The Dragon Demon tightened its grip relentlessly, raising its head and opening its massive maw for a fatal bite on the Ragefire Giant's head.

Yet before it could proceed further, Xu Zimei invoked the Law of Heaven and Earth, his Divine Demon Visualization Chart activating simultaneously.

Coupled with his Prison Suppressor Demon Body, it was as though a true Divine Demon had descended to the mortal realm. Taking one enormous step, Xu Zimei instantly appeared behind the Dragon Demon.

Behind him, a colossal Tyrant Shadow roared furiously, gripping the Dragon Demon's neck with one hand, causing the creature to gasp for breath.

Xu Zimei yanked backward fiercely, slamming it brutally into the ground.

"Damn!" Heavenly King Xiang roared in fury as he swung a massive hammer, aiming directly at Xu Zimei.

Xu Zimei's gaze sharpened; with one hand he caught the hammer, once again flipping Heavenly King Xiang heavily onto the ground.

The figures of the Dragon Demon and Heavenly King Xiang collapsed in unison.

Xu Zimei stretched his hands forward, gripping the necks of both the Dragon Demon and Heavenly King Xiang, lifting them before slamming them down hard again.

Behind him, the Ragefire Giant spat out Zhurong's Flame, countless Flame Lotuses descended from the heavens, burning toward both enemies.

Xu Zimei stepped back, leaving Heavenly King Xiang and the Dragon Demon in the heart of the Flame Lotuses.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Countless Zhurong's Flames rained down, scorching the earth, obliterating all that existed, the intense heat consuming everything in its wake.

Nearby, both Ji Jiuning and Mi Tian were alarmed.

"Such fierce flames," Mi Tian muttered gravely, his figure quickly retreating backward.

Screams echoed relentlessly within the Zhurong's Flame.

Once the flames dissipated, the group lifted their heads, gazing around. The Banana Forest had been utterly destroyed.

At the center of the inferno, the figures of the Dragon Demon and Heavenly King Xiang had vanished without a trace.

"Dead?" Ji Jiuning frowned, muttering in doubt.

"No," Xu Zimei shook his head.

Just then, he felt the void around him tremble, a massive black hand tore through the distant space.

The void crack opened wider, and a colossal creature emerged from within.

This behemoth greatly resembled the Dragon Demon, yet it appeared to have evolved, its original eight dragon claws reduced to four limbs.

Its body was even larger, particularly its back, which was adorned with tumor-like spheres resembling rounded bulges.

Inside, they glowed crimson; its head was sharp and angular, with only a single horn, shimmering azure-blue.

It roared at Xu Zimei, its thunderous cry shattering the surrounding void, deafeningly loud.

"Hmm, I've heard the Dragon Demon Heir of this generation from the Dragon Demon Sect carries the bloodline of the Dragon Demon King.

By the looks of it now, the rumors were true," Mi Tian remarked with a grin.

"Mi Tian, didn't you agree to join forces? Why remain indifferent?" The creature spoke, its voice identical to Heavenly King Xiang's, questioning mildly.

"As you can see, the North Hill's fox woman is holding me back," Mi Tian shook his head with a rueful smile.

"If you truly wanted to assist, how could a mere fox woman stop you? I suspect you're deliberately playing tricks on me," the creature retorted.

"Brother Xiang is underestimating this fox woman," Mi Tian refuted with a shake of his head.

"I am not deceiving you. If you don't trust me, we can cancel the alliance."

"Worthless fools, I can deal with both of them alone," Heavenly King Xiang roared furiously.

As he raised his foot, the earth trembled and fractured extensively, chaos erupting everywhere.

The creature swung its tail, covered in scales, spanning a hundred miles in width, sweeping toward Xu Zimei. Xu Zimei raised his blade in defense, a burst of immense force sending him flying.

"Impressive," Mi Tian chuckled lightly. "The Dragon Demon Sect has always prioritized strength; the original Dragon Demon King proved his path with raw power.

Brother Xiang indeed has the aura of the Dragon Demon King."

"Shut your mouth," Heavenly King Xiang retorted faintly.

So far, his attacks had targeted only Xu Zimei and Ji Jiuning, leaving Mi Tian untouched.

Because Xu Zimei and Ji Jiuning were already proving arduous enough for him to handle, engaging all three simultaneously would be beyond his capability. That sly monk Mi Tian was no easy foe.

Moreover, he had to remain vigilant of Mi Tian's moves.

"I can charm him; our North Hill Charm Technique has never failed," Ji Jiuning spoke quickly to Xu Zimei as the massive tail swept toward her.

"Your task will be to slay him."

"No need," Xu Zimei shook his head.

At this moment, two divine techniques enveloped him, and the Tyrant Shadow in his hands enlarged by hundreds of times under the glow of the Power of Vows.

A giant wielding an enormous blade, cloaked in Demonic Qi, surrounded by the Taoist Charm of the Way of Inquiry.

He unleashed the Earth Demon Technique, one of the Demonic Ten Skills.

A true harbinger of catastrophe.

As Xu Zimei advanced, the skies above him darkened, veiled by thick clouds of demonic energy.

Infinite Blade Intent surged and roared across the battlefield.

Xu Zimei held the blade single-handedly, stepping lightly forward, transforming instantly into a streak of Thunderbolt. In the next heartbeat, he had already appeared before the creature.

With one earth-shattering strike, wind, rain, lightning, and chaos gathered, Demonic Qi billowed through thirty thousand miles.

"Boom!" A deafening explosion followed as the Tyrant Shadow sliced into the creature's back.

The creature screamed in pain, its viscous maw bellowing unceasingly as it encircled Xu Zimei with its two arms and began retreating forward.

Xu Zimei was pushed back relentlessly.

He stomped the ground hard with his right foot, planting both feet into a triangular stance to lower his center of gravity.

Raising the Tyrant Shadow high above, his hands braced as the blade's aura grew exponentially, accompanied by a thunderbolt descending from the heavens.

Lightning struck Tyrant Shadow's blade, which fell heavily with unstoppable force.

With this strike, the blade pierced clean through the creature's body.
