Could it be that I am the cruel villain?
Chapter 62 The Dragon and the Beauty

Chapter 62: Chapter 62 The Dragon and the Beauty

Spiritual energy slowly circulated within his body.

All over, he felt a slight warmth, a comforting softness akin to a fetus snug in its amniotic fluid, an embrace to yearn for without end.

His entire being completely immersed in the ocean of cultivation, swimming freely, he felt as if, upon consuming that elixir, a new pair of eyes had opened within him, capable of peering into everything.

He could observe every corner and angle within his body; he saw his pulsing veins, his beating heart, his expansive meridians, and something strange...

A lake.

"Why is there a lake inside my dantian?"

He was dumbfounded.

Although he had only just begun his cultivation journey, his theoretical knowledge was solid. Sister Su Yi was a very patient and excellent teacher. In her descriptions, cultivators’ dantians varied, and the worlds seen during inner vision differed as well.

But for most cultivators, it was an empty space, filled only with condensed and refined pure spiritual energy.

Yet his own dantian seemed a little strange.

The lake surface was tranquil, the water pitch black, unsettling to the observer, and even stranger, were several spirits walking atop the lake, each step causing a faint ripple.

And all of them were familiar faces.

There was Xue Ming, who had died just last night, with a gentle smile on his face. His spirit appeared to be stuck at the moment of his death, engrossed in the illusion of a blissful time with his family, unwilling to extricate himself.

There were the dead Black and White Fiends, their expressions one of confusion and disbelief, and with anger and panic, as if still lost in their life’s battles, finding Jiang Feng’s formidable power unbelievable.

There was Xue Wuwei, his face twisted with resentment, and Wang Qi, who died with reluctance in his heart.

Like those spirits, Jiang Feng himself, who was engaged in inner vision, stood atop the lake surface. This eerie world was so quiet it was terrifying. But he remembered Sister Su Yi mentioning that the larger the space in the dantian, the greater the potential for the future, the more spiritual energy it could hold.

Now, did this mean that the world within his dantian was a manifestation of exceptional talent?

But just as the youth was observing his dantian, so different from ordinary people’s...

A terrifying tremor emanated from the lake surface!

The world within the dantian began to shake, even the bright sky at this moment turned dark, covered in storm clouds, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring!

Even more terrifying, the vast lake surface began to boil, and in just a few seconds, it heaved into an enormous swell that seemed to reach the heavens!

This left Jiang Feng completely stunned on the spot.

A grating yet deep roar sounded as if it could burst his eardrums!

Before his astonished gaze, the water wave, rising dozens of meters high, finally revealed its true form!

Whoosh—

A monstrous serpent, beyond his capacity to describe, rose from the lake bed, proudly lifting its head, and with a gaping maw, issued an earth-shattering roar!

At that moment, he felt as if his breath had stopped.

The serpent’s body was covered in dense, sharp scales, with short horns on its head, white patterns on its neck, blue stripes on its back, its chest vermilion. The sides of its body shimmered with iridescent colors like silk, with four claws on its underside, and spiny protrusions on its tail, its appearance ferocious and emanating an evil aura.

Its fangs were sharp, and it opened its gaping maw wide as if to stretch it completely flat, swallowing the wandering spirits on the water’s surface directly into its belly!

Splash—

The waves swept Jiang Feng away, flinging him dozens of meters.

But what was strange was that he wasn’t submerged by the dark water; instead, he still stood upon the surface without feeling any suffocation. However, the shock of that scene had completely surpassed his understanding.

No, it surpassed what anyone in the Cultivation World could comprehend. Even Su Yi would not come to a conclusion, inducing an uneasy feeling.

It was the Black Snake that, after devouring several unclaimed spirits, then turned its gaze towards Jiang Feng.

"Not enough... still not enough..."

"Offer up, more... offer up..."

"You..."

His head felt like it was about to explode. The hissing of the snake was like a steel needle piercing into his mind, causing vibrations at high frequency, allowing Jiang Feng to understand the growls of the massive serpent.

Hiss—

The scales on its neck were inflated, making it appear several times more bloated than a human. Its vertical pupils were filled with greed and desire.

"Fuck! Am I supposed to fight it?"

Stunned.

It felt like...

You’re a boxing enthusiast, and after stepping into the ring, Tyson approaches you. Just when you think Tyson is your opponent, he kindly informs you that he’s actually the referee.

And your opponent is the fifty-meter-tall Ultraman, who’s standing behind you and has unlimited time.

That’s the feeling.

When Jiang Feng sensed that those eyes, larger than any human’s, were fixated on him, he ran without any hesitation, even cursing frantically in his mind.

"Wake up, wake up!"

"I’ve been getting chopped up in dreams every day recently, and now this?"

"Who the hell did I piss off!"

But how could a youth outrun such a colossal creature? The giant serpent twisted its tail, spiraling upwards, and with its terrifying muscular strength, it actually soared into the sky!

The whole sky plunged into darkness under the cover of its massive body.

Swoosh!

A chill came from afar.

The youth could feel the chill brushing over his head at such a speed that he couldn’t even react.

Somehow, his footsteps subconsciously halted, because the chill somehow felt familiar, somewhat comforting. He stood in a daze, looking forward, craning his neck to gaze at the sky.

The youth saw an image he would never forget for the rest of his life.

It was a Sword Qi.

A heaven-shaking Sword Qi.

The overcast sky was torn apart on the spot, allowing the sunlight to shine down on the earth, an endless view.

The surface of the lake was also torn apart, split down the middle, with all the water rising. The unimaginable force completely divided the lake into two parts that could not heal.

It was then that the youth realized that what was beneath his feet was not water, but a type of gas compressed to the extreme, almost indistinguishable from liquid.

The levitating giant serpent let out a piercing wail!

Its body fell freely into the dark waters, writhing and struggling, creating waves upon waves, as if enduring extreme pain.

"Hiss—"

Again, that high-frequency sound assaulted the eardrums, but at this moment, Jiang Feng’s attention wasn’t on the Black Snake.

Rather, it was on the figure walking slowly towards him from afar.

Her simple dress could not hide her cool demeanor, her face indifferent, her presence commanding.

Her hair was tied back with a band, and as she moved gracefully, she wore a Longsword at her waist. Her gaze was calm and detached, and her slightly upturned eyes radiated the dignity of phoenix eyes.

It was the one who had appeared countless times in the youth’s dreams.

"Liu... Tangxi?"

He uttered these three words.

Yes, it was her again.

The one who taught him Swordsmanship in his dreams, the one who woke him from the illusion created by the black and white fiends, the one who appeared when he was on the brink of being swallowed by the giant serpent.

She seemed to be the protagonist of his fate, always appearing like a fairy whenever he needed her.

But the approaching Liu Tangxi did not engage with Jiang Feng, instead, she lifted the three-foot green blade in her hand. The sword remained sheathed; she merely pointed it towards the giant serpent, which was gradually regaining its calm.

"The you of today are no longer the Demon Night True Monarch of the past, but merely a dying Lost Soul, a masterless sea of Spiritual Energy."

Seeing that the giant serpent seemed to be unwilling to give up and was preparing to make a comeback, Liu Tangxi’s expression did not change. She simply placed her soft palm gently on the Longsword at her waist.

"The next sword..."

"You will die."
