Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 171: Chapter 125 Southern Border Tyrannosaurus Mother

"Junior sister, after days apart, your temper remains as fiery as ever."

In the face of absolute power, there is no need for any fancy tricks.

Jiang had considered the possibility of stealth missions or assassination attempts today, as he has never fought such a well-endowed battle in his life, always making full preparations before combat.

Ever since he set foot on this path, it seemed he was always facing opponents stronger than him, or much stronger than him. As for a straightforward call to a duel in the open...

This was the first time.

"You scoundrel, look at the people in your hands, they’re just innocent civilians! You’re using their flesh to feed Gu Worms, do you have any humanity left!"

The flying sword landed slowly, but Cen Yueyue’s momentum did not diminish, especially when she noticed that Hou Zhongxiao was holding something in his hand. When she saw what it was, her face turned ashen.

"What! Are! You! Holding! In! Your! Hand!"

With each word distinct, the voice filled with rage sounded somewhat low, even Jiang Feng couldn’t help but his pupils contract sharply when he saw what Hou Zhongxiao was holding.

If he wasn’t mistaken, that was an embryo in its early stages of development.

Perfectly preserved, within the transparent and bright red film, one could see the fetal form with its facial features, even with undried fluid atop, the amniotic fluid inside distinctly visible.

Clearly, this fetus had just left the mother’s body not long ago.

"Fresh Purple River Carriage and the Golden Core of the Luan."

The man spoke calmly, holding the embryo with great care, as if afraid of damaging it.

"Such fresh ones are rare. I remember back at home, you used to fight fiercely for ingredients. These are excellent food for cultivating Gu Worms."

"The one I have here is indeed fresh, it seems to have left the mother’s body no more than two days ago. I assume it could foster quite a number of Xu Huoyao. If you like, you could have..."

"You beast, shut your mouth!" The sharp voice was piercing to the ear, fists clenched, she had thought she would be quite angry when she saw this senior brother.

But she had never anticipated being consumed with such rage.

Sensing the commotion around her, the girl pinched her fingers.

The zi people who had lost their senses and lunged forward were directly smashed to the ground by the crown, instantly exploding on the spot!

The crown erupted with intense flames, and the wriggling Gu Worms started burning with a crackling sound, and in a moment, they turned into a thick liquid.

Some Sewing Monsters also lingered nearby, but Cen Yueyue simply pulled out the three hairpins from the back of her head and flung them at them. Each penetrated with a bloodied hiss, burning the Xu Huoyao to ashes.

Instantly, a bloody storm raged within the Taoist Temple.

The golden hairpins emitted sparks like lightning; with just a few moves, they killed on the spot those white-clothed individuals parasitized by Gu Worms. Moreover, as they pierced through the bodies, they were also enveloped in Fierce Fire, burnt utterly to ashes by the Scarlet Flames.

Several more bizarre figures emerged from other yards, some with human heads on animal bodies, others with animal heads on human bodies, and some living people looked equally strange, with various animal organs transplanted into their bodies.

But without exception, these individuals who seemed peaceful within the Taoist Temple became frantic and agitated upon sensing the flames. Although their foreign limbs were forcibly adapted to their bodies through the traits of Xu Huoyao, they were ultimately Sewing Monsters.

Once the Gu Worms inside sensed a threat and became agitated, they immediately took over their hosts’ consciousness, attempting to tear the woman who posed a threat to them to pieces.

"Roar!"

A roar came from the side; a woman with a beastly head on her belly emerged from a side door, the head on her belly incessantly growling threats.

Her body twisted into a backbend, shifting from standing on two feet to all fours, the belly arching forcefully, the beast head emerging from the woman’s body.

It had just bared its teeth at Cen Yueyue, but she didn’t even bother to look, instead pinching backhandedly, her delicate hand like the claw of a demon.

"Earth Trap Seven Stars!"

The next second, the entire beast head was crushed on the spot! The silver crown, paired with the circle in hand, instantly ambushed and shredded what was already a crushed Sewing Monster, leaving only chunks of flesh on the ground.

"Damn."

His head shrank down.

While Cen Yueyue was slaughtering left and right, Jiang Feng certainly wasn’t idle. He had sneaked off to cut off their escape. Although he couldn’t estimate how long he might last in the hands of a Core Formation expert—probably no more than a few dozen seconds—he should be able to delay Hou Zhongxiao’s time a bit.

Squatting on the roof of a building in the Taoist Temple, he looked down to see what looked like hell on earth—not just the commotion Cen Yueyue stirred up in the front courtyard, but throughout the entire back courtyard, there were severed limbs and broken bodies everywhere, with only blood missing.

There was even a couple that seemed to be alive, who knows what they had ingested, as they lay on the ground, frantically digging their fingers into their own necks, leaving behind trails of blood, their fingernails filled with flesh.

Just one glance and it was clear they were beyond saving.

With a sigh, he turned his attention back to Cen Yueyue in the distance, especially as he saw how easily she shattered those Sewing Monsters on the spot, he couldn’t help but mutter.

"What a terrifying Southern Border Tyrannosaurus!"

"Now I know why she got so angry when I doubted her; turns out she’s genuinely strong."

"I guess this little miss is not all about the realm equivalent to strength."

"With a mid-Core Formation realm and abundant Spiritual Energy, plus a stockpile of resources, four Magic Treasures on her wrists and ankles, and judging from the power and aggressiveness... I’m afraid I couldn’t match even one of them with all my worldly possessions."
