Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 339: Chapter 221 This is All She Has

"Kill, kill, kill..."

The Buddhist Scriptures that were originally echoing through Fangcun Mountain, under Jin Shan’s manipulation, finally turned into a bloodthirsty roar filled with the stench of blood.

The Eight Great Vajra’s eyes were wide with anger, and the Magic Treasures they propelled turned Fangcun Mountain into a veritable hell on earth. Spiritual Energy and Divine Sense grew weaker and weaker, and they finally realized that the Array formed by the Eight Great Vajra was not some highly offensive Array.

Instead, it was a refining Array.

The range in which the three of them could move kept shrinking, and a whole hour passed. The strength from their bodies was continually drained, and even the blood within them rushed crazily to their brains, as if it would burst out of their bodies at any moment.

The already scant Spiritual Energy was also being drained away, but the most desperate thing was that they had to face not only the Array formed by the Eight Great Vajra but also the attacks from Jin Shan and the Golden Arhat.

Once the enemy stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage, the situation became one-sided, and even Jin Shan took the initiative to step out from the protection of the Golden Bell Shield to cast Spells.

Seeing this, the young man silently flew closer and reverted to a backhand sword strike, but unexpectedly, the Arhat did not even turn his head. Jin Shan raised his hand to catch it on the spot, followed by a heavy punch!

Bang—

A dull thud.

He was sent flying more than ten meters before barely managing to steady himself.

"Already out of strength, huh? How utterly laughable."

He snorted coldly.

The Eight Great Vajra statues were originally buried in Fangcun Mountain to suppress demons, crafted by the previous Master Guang Xian of Vajra Temple. Even the original purpose of Fangcun Mountain was to imprison demons.

After all, keeping such powerful demons within the temple could easily cause disturbances and there was even the risk of escape, so they were placed in a Grotto Heaven to suppress their demonic nature.

Jiang Feng and his group turned out to be much stronger than he had imagined, having narrowly fallen into their trap twice. But after forming his Nascent Soul, he could feel the unending power in his belly, the very thing he had dreamed of.

He had been stuck at this Cultivation Realm for a full forty years.

Step by step, the desecrated Buddhist Law no longer exuded sanctity and majesty, replaced instead by eeriness and arrogance. Although Jiang Feng had fought against Nascent Soul Stage experts before, none had given him such a terrifying sense of oppression.

The Sect Leader of Fan Yin Sect, Wu Mingsheng, he had encountered before was of the same Cultivation Realm as Jin Shan, but the gap between the two was as staggering as that between a babbling child and a grown adult.

No matter how much Lu Luo belittled or mocked him, Jin Shan was after all a disciple of that accomplished high monk, a Disciple from a top-tier force.

The reason Jiang Feng and his group, being of lower realms, dared to take on this task was the same, not to mention this demon monk possessed relics from Master Guang Xian’s lifetime. But rack his brain as he might, Jiang Feng could not understand.

Why could a mere Core Formation Stage piece of trash steal these items from Vajra Temple?

There was only one possibility he could think of.

Someone intentionally turned a blind eye.

"Old Yan, when can the reinforcements from State City arrive?"

His expression was pained. To be honest, this encounter was comparable to the last time he was hunted down by Wu Mingsheng, the only difference being that this time he had two teammates.

Yan Fengchun was merely propping up the Vajra Umbrella, pouring the remaining inverted Spiritual Energy into it to slow down the refining process as much as possible. But how could a Xuan Rank Magic Treasure contend with Earth Rank Magic Treasures that were just at the basic level?

Even with less than one-tenth of their power, they were still enough to keep the three of them here forever.

"Even if one rushes all the way without resting, it would still take at least a day. I’m afraid we won’t last that long... Mr. Jiang, it’s my fault, I should not have taken the lead and brought you guys to capture this demon monk."

His voice was bitter and weakened, but Jiang Feng had no complaints and merely shook his head. He knew that this trap was set for him and that he couldn’t avoid it, no matter what.

To be precise, he had implicated Yan Fengchun and the others. But he had his own unspoken difficulties; no matter what, he could not casually mention the matters concerning Demon Night True Monarch.

Even if during the fight Jin Shan revealed many things about his past life, which raised many suspicions in Yan Fengchun’s mind, he still could not divulge everything.

"The beast should have all his attention on me."

"I’ll go up and hold him off; you two sit down and meditate, recover your strength. This way, the two of you can last a bit longer. If I’m not mistaken, half a day should have passed by now."

"Given the nature of this beast, after capturing me, he won’t kill me right away; instead, he’ll humiliate me in every way to vent his emotions. To be frank, I have some unresolved history with him, the kind that won’t rest until death."

"If he really does that, I’ll play with him with words. You two must not come to save me just because I’m captured. Honestly recuperate your strength; you should be able to hold out until reinforcements arrive..."

His voice was very soft, barely audible, only those standing beside him could hear clearly.

He was startled inside; how could he not understand that Jiang Feng intended to use his own life to buy them time? But bizarrely, the usually fiery and forthright Lu Luo was silent at this moment, just sitting on the ground, looking exhausted and contemplative.

As he was about to speak up to stop him, Jiang Feng directly cut him off.

"You should know this is the best solution."

With just one sentence, he blocked Yan Fengchun’s reply; without words, because he knew Jiang Feng was right.

Although he didn’t know the exact grudge between the two, judging from Jin Shan’s deranged attitude, there was undoubtedly a deep-seated hatred between him and Jiang Feng. Moreover, although Jiang Feng was the most formidable in combat, his Cultivation Realm was the lowest.
