Could it be that I am the cruel villain?-Chapter 824 - 471: All of You, Come at Us Together (Part 2)

But if Jiang Feng and Yu Rou confronted them head-on, it wouldn't be as embarrassing as Cen Yueyue, because once he found that Daoist Skills didn't work, he would use Swordsmanship and Sword Qi. If Swordsmanship and Sword Qi still didn't work, then he'd resort to his trickery, using Yin Spirits and the Soul Summoning Banner.

If those couldn't secure the victory, he had a sufficiently powerful physical body and abundant stamina, and could even outlast them, which is the general direction of Jiang Feng's current cultivation; it is also the Demon Clan's cultivation approach, so their path of cultivation was the oldest and simplest cultivation method since the inception of the Cultivation World.

Unassailable.

These four words best describe it.

Majority of today's cultivators actually take a shortcut, which is to first enhance their Cultivation Realm, and after ascending in realm, they start to study Daoist Skills.

By utilizing the advantage of continuously applying advanced Daoist Skills, they take the upper hand, using their presence to suppress others. In this way, the cultivation speed is fast enough, the effects clear enough, and there's no need to painstakingly study things they're not good at. It's worth noting that Soul Cultivation and Body Cultivation are both quite challenging.

The former requires a sufficiently strong soul and willpower, while the latter needs a naturally tough and resilient physique, along with various medicinal aids for nurturing. Simply practicing Daoist Skills is indeed a good choice.

The Demon Clan efficiently inherits the advantages of this old cultivation method, with Dao, Body, and Soul advancing in tandem, giving them the confidence in crossing realms for combat against humans. However, no one is perfect, and these Demon Clan disciples are not without flaws.

For example... their cultivation speed is slower than usual, and their realm advancement is even lower than usual.

It's not just a little slow, it's about thirty percent slower.

That's why Huang Zhanlong felt uneasy upon seeing the two Demon Clan disciples before him, who were similar in age yet possessed the strength of the Peak of Core Formation. With his understanding of the Demon Clan, if these two's talents weren't placed in the Demon Clan, but in the Central Plains or Dongyue, perhaps they would long since have formed a Nascent Soul, and even a Middle stage Nascent Soul would not be impossible.

Especially upon hearing their surnames, his heart skipped a beat.

"The foremost figure of the Demon Clan, descendants of Ye Shitian, huh, tsk tsk..."

He clicked his tongue, unsure what to think.

Besides the slower cultivation speed, Demon Clan disciples face more difficulty in advancing in realm because they must ensure the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top at all times, just like the two before him, whose cultivation has long been able to condense a Nascent Soul but has yet to do so.

They must wait for their body, Divine Soul, cultivation, and Daoist Skills to fully integrate, ensuring that each can alone contend evenly with a Nascent Soul Stage expert before they choose to break through.

One can only imagine how terrifying their strength would be after these two break through to Nascent Soul; even a Divinity Transformation Stage expert would need to put in considerable effort to take them down.

The atmosphere on site was somewhat tense, none of the five forces acted lightly, but clearly the two clans from Dongyue intended to side with the Demon Clan, showing unfriendly expressions, while disciples from Fulong Pavilion were intent on the group of women from the Joyful Sect, especially Young Master Huang, displaying a curious expression.

"All of you have gathered here, presumably for this Demon Beast."

Huang Zhanlong first broke the silence.

He pointed at the towering Demon Beast like a small hill up above, and at that moment, the otherwise tumultuous Kui Ying was very calm, with all the Spiritual Energy within him in a restrained state; even its exploded scales were being forcibly smoothed, as a nearly terrifying energy was ceaselessly gathered and condensed inside.

As a Demon Beast it simply didn't need to learn; the ancestral memories allowed it to easily skip this process and naturally manifest the Forbidden Technique, but no one among the large group around it could fathom its intentions, only considering it heavily injured and powerless to resist, viewing it as fish in a barrel.

"Indeed, its image is dominant and majestic, even injured its prowess must be exceptional. Anyone who can subdue this Demon Beast would gain notable status within their clan or sect in the future."

With a few words, he unveiled what everyone had in mind.

"However, I didn't expect the two from the Demon Clan would be quite interested in this Demon Beast. It's indeed outstanding, but considering your two's noble status, surely you wouldn't need such a Nascent Soul Stage Demon Beast as an ally?"

"Furthermore, there's history between the Demon Clan and Dongyue, notice how the faces of the Dongyue disciples seem quite unfriendly."

"Since it serves no use to you two, you might as well leave first so the four sides remaining could resolve the matter amongst ourselves, to see who can be the first to subdue this Demon Beast."

"How about it?"

The words were spoken quite elegantly.

In truth, it was to persuade the strongest threat to leave first, given that the Lang Clan and Xiang Clan disciples were glaring at them unfavorably, though Dongyue eventually reconciled with the Northern Territory, some grievances naturally carried through generations.

To one's surprise, the Demon Clan man named Ye Wuyou nodded yet did not leave.

"Young Master Huang speaks rightly. My sister and I have certainly not come to the Old Dongyue for this Demon Beast, indeed for another purpose."

"Oh? Since that's the case, why don't you two leave first to avoid being attacked simultaneously by the Lang and Xiang Clan."

"No, Young Master Huang somewhat misjudges our purpose. We do not wish to face attacks from two forces; our purpose is..."

The voice was steady, and his expression unchanged.

In rumors, Demon Clan offspring are ferocious, aggressive and evil, yet the two before them differed greatly from rumor: the man was polite, dignified, the woman gentle and refined, showing no arrogance and even greeting the numerous cultivators present.

Everyone regarded these two Demon Clan members, uncertain of their intent, but the next words not only stirred up the entire audience, but even Jiang Feng's party, sneaking to the edge of the battlefield to eavesdrop, nearly scared them to death.

"The purpose is for my sister and me to challenge all of you here."

The pleasant voice echoed.

It was the taller-than-average Demon Clan woman, Ye Wuyu, who spoke softly, wearing a decidedly gentle smile.

Silence.

In an instant, anger flashed in everyone's eyes. These noble families had some understanding of the Demon Clan, knowing the disciples' strength can't be judged by realm, but wasn't this too audacious?

Two people wanting to fight against every single one of the ten or so present? Do they not regard us as humans?
