Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 161: Chapter 120: Like a Monkey 【4K】_2

Throwing down the corpse in his hand, he smashed a claw towards the man, swift and fierce, his movements even more advanced than when he had clashed with Jiang Feng last night.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the formerly sparse arms were now covered with feathers, even the limbs had completely transformed into the shape of a beast’s, growing in an inverse-jointed manner, and the wings on the back began to gradually thicken.

He barely managed to defend with his longsword, but was still flung away a dozen meters, the sharp bird claws leaving two wounds on his chest, rolling on the ground seven or eight times before finally stabilizing his center of gravity.

In just one night, the growth of this Gu creature was terrifying. Last night, it was merely Jiang Feng’s luck that saved him. Had he been any later, when the monster had digested its consumed food, someone might have inadvertently fallen prey to it.

"Evil creature, cease your frenzy! Fellow Daoists, assist me! Immortal Binding Rope, bind!"

At the man’s command, the golden Immortal Binding Rope immediately began to tighten, with seven or eight people continuously circling around the monster, thus forcing it to follow the cultivators’ movements and stay unbound to avoid being trapped.

Whiz whiz whiz—

The monsters screamed sharply.

Unlike last night, the creature’s voice last night sounded more like a crow, but after just a short night... no, just a few hours, this monster’s screams have turned to resemble a vigorous adult eagle.

Fog of blood spread in the air, and soon the area around dozens of meters was enveloped in blood mist. Several people nearby held their breath and focused, continuously channeling Spiritual Energy into the ropes in their hands, as they saw that the struggle of the monster was getting increasingly difficult, they felt as if they were seeing the dawn of victory.

Immortal Binding Rope is definitely an invaluable Magic Treasure, as long as Spiritual Energy is poured into it, it can bind others; the more people, the more Spiritual Energy is infused, the stronger its effect.

Although there was only one Foundation Establishment stage expert present, the rest were Qi Refinement Realm cultivators, but as long as they worked together, even a Core Formation cultivator would struggle to break free from the Immortal Binding Rope.

The Gu creature continued to howl, swinging the fresh blood on its body vigorously, seeing the movements of the monster bird weaken, the Foundation Establishment expert immediately positioned his longsword in front of his chest.

Muttering to himself, then kicking his legs!

His arm drew an arc in the air and landed with even the fingers still twitching after being severed.

"Are you crazy!?"

The sudden abnormality put everyone present on high alert, dropping their Immortal Binding Rope, holding their weapons, and panically watching the only Foundation Stage expert in the group.

They were unfamiliar with Gu Poison and had had no contact with this creature, but the strongest among them appeared madness, with blood-shot eyes and a frantic expression, he suddenly swung his longsword at them.

Whiz!

The Gu creature just forcefully broke free from the Immortal Binding Rope and let out a roar that split the heavens.

This pervasive and terrible blood mist was undoubtedly the favorite breeding ground for Gu Worms; if their reactions were quick enough, or if the Foundation Stage expert was calm enough, they could not possibly fall for such a tactic.

Unfortunately, unknown intelligence is always the key to one’s demise.

The sharp sound assaulted the brain. The Foundation Stage expert’s actions became more and more frantic, randomly kicking a person away, and the Foundation Establishment advantage over Qi Refinement was absolutely dominant. With a sinister smile, he raised his hand and directly slashed at a colleague.

Just as he was about to strike down his own colleague.

His body jerked violently!

His eyes full of confusion, holding his longsword aloft, and in that brief moment of distraction, a youth quickly approached from behind, first stabbing directly at the opponent’s knee pit to ensure his own safety, then reaching out to grab the cultivator who was kicked into a mess.

Whoosh, he ran past.

"Ah!"

Seeing his prey snatched away, the Foundation Stage cultivator, mad as he was, attempted to give chase, but hindered by a wound on his leg, although limping, his movements remained crazed.

Soon, a melody rang in his ears, causing the cultivator’s face to show a moment of struggle.

"You take the refugees and go first, we’ll cover the rear! He’s been poisoned with Gu Poison, he can’t even recognize you now!"

Mouth moving rapidly, seeing the Gu creature attempting to capture its prey, he swiftly tossed out a talisman paper which flipped in mid-air and possessed by the Divine Soul, actually directly tackling the Gu creature to the ground.

And the woman following behind merely lifted the Magic Treasure in her hand, the blood mist in the sky as if finding its destination, all flowed into the woman’s body, this sudden change leaving the Gu creature somewhat at a loss, and it kicked away the Paperman that was gnawing at it on its body.

Stretching its neck, it reached Miss Cen in the blink of an eye!

"Hmph, using a human body to nurture such a creature, truly befits the nature of that villain."

Bang!

Its head twisted and was knocked seven or eight meters away, the thick and strong neck looked as if it was about to break, and before it could recover, the Paperman next to it pounced with bared teeth, biting firmly onto the neck covered in snake scales.

Although this creature, called "such and such", was powerful, it was still a considerable distance away from a Core Formation Stage expert.

"What are you staring at? Go."

Jiang Feng’s voice finally awakened the spectators.

They only then noticed that Jiang Feng was actually exchanging blows with that Foundation Establishment expert whose mind was bewitched. The longsword swung, intertwining, emitting a clanging collision, and even Jiang Feng was gaining the upper hand in this purely swordsmanship exchange.

"This..."

They were evenly matched.

Although they did not know why this young man with only Qi Refinement was so powerful, they dared not just leave. But when they detected the spiritual energy bursting forth from the body of that young woman nearby, their faces immediately lit up with joy.

"It’s a Core Formation Stage expert!"

"Let’s go, let’s leave first; with her here, we can definitely subdue that monster."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, thank you!"

Covering the broken arm, they departed.

Yet Cen Yueyue merely tilted her head, pulling out three hairpins from her hair and holding them between her fingers. Her eyes showed neither sorrow nor joy, casually flicking them at the Foundation Establishment cultivator fighting Jiang Feng.

Swoosh!

Coming from three different directions, their speed was so fast that it was hard for the naked eye to catch, directly forcing him to retreat step by step; the hairpins left wounds on his body, and then with a flick of her fingers, a Yellow Talisman was summoned and ignited from her palm.

She gently blew towards the man.

"Whoo~"

His consciousness blurred instantly; he even loosened his grip on the longsword, and the red in his eyes gradually faded, but he still widened his eyes. However, Cen Yueyue merely lifted a finger towards the cultivator.

Flicked his forehead.

His body collapsed thunderously, appearing completely powerless.

This scene left Jiang Feng agape. This was the difference between Core Formation and Foundation Establishment stages; hence it was no wonder Yu Ying had said that even with just one percent of her strength, killing a Core Formation stage was not much harder than slaughtering a chicken.

Indeed, at the He Family Village, this young girl had not been holding back.

She had been holding back an ocean.

"In two hours, the Xu Huoyao in his body will dissipate."

Expressionlessly, she looked towards the monster she called "Kerau," a term essentially used as an adjective to describe something or appearances that are ugly. In the Southern Border, this term referred to...

Sewing Monster.

Because only they in the Southern Border could come up with such a thing.

Roar!

The roaring continued, and the Paperman was still entangled with Kerau, but compared to last night, the Paperman was clearly at a disadvantage, its body continuously torn apart, with paper scraps fluttering in the air.

Its thick and powerful neck was tens of meters, completely wrapping around the Paperman. However, the Paperman did not show weakness; under these circumstances, it still firmly bit Kerau’s arm, even tearing its wing membrane, and blood sprayed everywhere.

"This creature is called Kerau in our Southern Border."

"Judging by its appearance, it seems to be born not long ago, but its overall strength... may be comparable to that man you fought last time."

"Last night, you were in an advantageous position probably because it was too weakened just after birth. If given more days, it probably could reach the strength of the Core Formation stage, similar to that traitor."

Swish!

Before the words even finished, dozens of sharp feathers were thrown!

Instinctively, he stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Cen Yueyue, swinging the longsword to block all the feathers, and kicked a longsword that had fallen from the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Piercing through the arm.

No, it should be said, the wing membrane, returning with a sword.

But throughout the process, Cen Yueyue’s gaze didn’t linger on Kerau, but was constantly fixed on the young man in front of her, her eyes contemplative, blinking.

"Although his realm is a bit low, taking some Elixirs and controlling Gu Worms shouldn’t be a big issue."

"His strength is notable, abundant in tricks, his swordsmanship divine, able to fight against Foundation Establishment stage while only at Qi Refinement, not falling behind. Given time, he would surely become a great threat in the future; can’t give Purple Cloud Palace this opportunity."

"Otherwise..."

A corner of her mouth curled up in a cruel smile.

"Let’s abduct him to our Cen Family; in the future, he can serve me tea and run errands, hmm."
