Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 160: Chapter 120: Like a Monkey 【4K】

The commotion in the distance sent shivers down one’s spine.

The two exchanged glances and immediately stood up, ready to rush over to assist, but after only a few steps, Jiang Feng felt a blur before his eyes, his legs went weak, and he nearly fainted on the spot.

Shoo—

The sharp and piercing sound was distant, but it still collided back and forth in his mind, causing his blood to surge and make him feel like something was unsettling inside his body, barely under control.

But soon, the intense discomfort gradually dissipated.

As his consciousness slowly returned, he looked up and realized that he had firmly grasped Cen Yueyue’s slender wrist, even the veins on the back of his hand bulging with effort.

Regrettably, he was in no mood to appreciate the delicate touch of her fingertips, feeling the vibrant elasticity with just a slight exertion.

Shaking his head forcefully, he used to watch TV dramas and all sorts of messy movies, where captured individuals, no matter what drugs they were force-fed, could keep their mouths shut through sheer willpower.

But after genuinely experiencing it once, he realized that was just a joke—the physiological reaction of a clear mind yet utterly uncontrollable body, even manipulable at the whim of another.

"Thank you."

"A little rascal..." she muttered softly, yet naturally withdrew her hand, "I didn’t lie to you, did I? You drank quickly, let’s move; that person’s Gu creature must have not insignificant strength."

"Okay."

With lingering fear, he glanced at the young girl leading the way up front, a moment of hesitation flashing through his mind.

But still, he flicked his longsword and followed her with forceful steps.

This was the Southern Border Witch Clan.

Half a month ago, his senior sister had already told him a lot about the Southern Border Witch Clan.

The entire Southern Border’s cultivation system was quite similar to that of the Central Plains, but for the people there, the best way to enhance strength wasn’t just cultivating realms—Gu Technique accounted for almost half of their power.

Although he disdained the act of casting Gu on others, Liu Tangxi with her own strength had personally admitted that Gu Technique was quite troublesome; for Jiang Feng, tonight’s events had completely overturned his understanding of the world.

In his understanding, these so-called Gu worms were merely cultivated viruses and bacteria. Even if they were useful, how impactful could they be?

But having experienced it firsthand, he now understood how terrifying these things really were.

Controlling one’s body, controlling one’s mind; once the Gu poison invaded his body, even a slight call from Cen Yueyue could make him start slapping his own face.

Even separated by such cries could make him lose consciousness temporarily.

He had no doubt that if his reaction wasn’t quick enough and he hadn’t drunk that bowl of water, he might have already started fighting with Cen Yueyue by now.

The longsword didn’t fly too fast through the air, but quite smoothly, which surprised Cen Yueyue. In her life, she had never encountered someone at the Qi Refinement stage who could control a sword, no wonder he was taken into Purple Cloud Palace.

Listening to Yu Ying’s tone, the lunatic, he probably was a direct disciple.

While the young man remained silent behind her and made a fire spell with his hands, scorching flames immediately enveloped his entire body and even forced the flames into his body, causing him to tremble in pain, yet Jiang Feng remained silent, allowing sweat to evaporate.

The peculiarity behind her did not cause Cen Yueyue to turn back, her eyes revealing a bit of admiration; although the method was crude, it indeed could cleanse the Gu poison in his body. Soon, the sounds of fighting in the distance grew closer, and several cultivators came into view.

"Quick! Restrain this beast! Watch out for its claws."

"Immortal Binding Rope, go!"

"What kind of spiritual beast is this? Senior brother, I’ve never seen such a ferocious beast in my life!"

"Who knows, pull hard, this beast has such great... strength..."

"Look, why does its body resemble a human’s? Could it be transformed from a person?"

"It’s probably the Gu Technique from the Southern Border, everyone be careful! Quickly use spiritual energy to bind it!"

Seven or eight cultivators formed a group embroiled in a bitter struggle.

Golden ropes confined the beast within, as the vast horse field was left in disarray, with overturned soil and severed corpses everywhere, especially since the beast was still clutching a body in its hands.

Judging from the wound in the back, this person was likely ambushed from behind, pierced through the heart by a bird’s claw, killed in one blow.

Crash—

A large amount of purple-black poisonous blood splashed onto the ground, even though its limbs were tied, the beast showed no sign of tension, still pecking at the body in its grasp with its dark beak.

Just one peck broke open the head, with its tongue greedily licking up the brain matter, as if it were a supreme delicacy to it.

"The malignant beast is still killing! Take this, sword!"

Seeing that the beast did not regard them seriously, one of them became furious.

Having already encountered a sneak attack resulting in a tragic death, the beast did not flee but even sat there provocatively feasting on a companion’s corpse.

The longsword burst into intense firelight, sword qi overflowing, with his cultivation in the Foundation Establishment Realm, he was considered quite formidable even within small sects, he thrust forward with his legs directly soaring toward it!

Under the watchful eyes of many expecting him...

Wow—

A cloud of blood mist sprayed over his face, forcing the Foundation Establishment cultivator to immediately shut his eyes.

"Damn beast!"

Despite the intensely irritating blood covering his face, relying on experience, he just reversed his hand and chopped straight down on the extending neck!

Clang!

However, the outcome was beyond everyone’s expectations.

Instead of the head being chopped off as they imagined, a metallic collision sounded, and the full force strike from the Low Grade Foundation Establishment merely shattered a few scales.
