Could it be that I am the cruel villain?-Chapter 833 - 476: Don’t Let Personal Actions Reflect on the Sect

"Woooo—"

In the air, came the heart-wrenching wail of Kui Ying.

The dense scales on its body fell off piece by piece, blood flowing everywhere. It was still in its juvenile phase, and no matter how pure its bloodline or how powerful it was, its flesh had its limits. It couldn't possibly encompass all like its ancestors did.

The pain from its body made it howl, and countless rocks suspended hundreds of meters in the air around it slowly stopped floating. Blood vessels burst, and a burst of blood mist sprayed from that massive body!

"Keep retreating!"

It was Qingluan's voice.

Even though they didn't know what skill Kui Ying was about to unleash, and despite being in a safe zone now, no one dared to gamble on whether this Dragon Fish would continue its frenzy. Everyone's attention was focused on that huge body.

Without hesitation, they immediately ran back. The next moment!

The mountain fell.

All the stones within a three-mile radius were suspended in the sky, completely motionless. Time came to a complete stop, gravity vanished entirely, and as gravity's pull weakened, it was as if a small mountain fell from the sky.

The shadow covered the entire sky, obscuring the horizon. To be precise, the Fish Leaping Dragon Gate would also detonate all manifested illusions at this moment, blasting everyone's Divine Souls out of their bodies. It wasn't just the destruction of the flesh but a terrifying spiritual assault.

Unfortunately, this Kui Ying's Taoist skill was ultimately too shallow. Had it been its skeletal ancestor performing, no one within a ten-mile radius would have escaped, because a complete Fish Leaping Dragon Gate, after performing the first half, not only suspended the mountain in the air and let it fall.

But also reversed.

Gravity reversal, forcefully pulling downward. One could imagine the scene of a suspended mountain falling with dozens of times more weight, which even modern weapons rarely match in destructiveness. Countless massive rocks fell, some several dozen meters big, some over ten feet small.

Just relying on gravity could easily crush a Core Formation Stage expert into pulp, and even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators couldn't ensure their lives in such an environment. Even Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators needed to be cautious, as countless falling stones rained down densely from the sky.

Boom boom boom—

Dust billowed, and all living things within nearly three miles suffered calamity, birds or beasts included. Among them were a few unlucky Dongyue disciples and some Loose Cultivators trying to fish in troubled waters nearby. Huang Zhanlong couldn't help but glance back a few times, his heart gripped with fear.

The surviving Dongyue disciples were equally terrified, looking at the scene of heaven and earth colliding with dread. Even the Demon Clan siblings stared intently at Kui Ying, for they weren't just meddling out of a love for battle and causing trouble.

But they recognized this Demon Beast.

The Northern Demon Clan and Dongyue had been in constant conflict for years. From a young age, they heard tales from their elders, especially about the various strange Demon Beasts within Dongyue, Ancient Strange Beasts, and those peculiar Daoist Skills and special bloodlines they talked about with relish.

Now, the siblings came thousands of miles to the Old Dongyue to witness the legendary Ancient Strange Beast and to meet the young talents of various families.

The Demon Clan disciples were inherently combative, some clans' cultivation techniques being particularly suffused with evil energy. Frequent clashes or being outmatched easily drove them into a paranoid, malevolent state. This was why many cultivators weren't fond of the Northern Demon Clan, labeling them as "demons."

"What a formidable Demon Beast."

"I've heard that East Sea nurtures countless Ancient Strange Beasts, rare bloodlines from the Primordial Era. Even grandfather praised these Demon Beasts, and spoke highly of that Emperor."

"And the East Sea Clan seems intricately connected to the Western Demon Domain, evidently not just hearsay."

"Grandfather told me the only way to break this move is to quickly escape or kill the Demon Beast on the spot. Apart from these methods, trying to withstand it is almost impossible."

"That Demon Beast is only around the Nascent Soul Stage at its early stage, but the power it unleashes is enough to make Divinity Transformation Stage experts sweat. With its current strength, even Divinity Transformation Stage experts can't underestimate it. Its only weakness might be the significant energy consumption from this move, making it unsustainable for a Dragon Fish with its cultivation."

"After using it, it might lose its strength to resist on the spot. Little Yu, do you want it?"

He turned his head to look at his sister beside him.

The Demon Clan girl named Ye Wuyu remained calm and indifferent, yet a trace of interest flickered in her eyes. Seeing such wondrous Daoist Skills made this journey worthwhile for the siblings. Hearing her brother's words, she…

"You're just half a tea-time older than me."

"Yes, so what's your decision?"

Her brother seemed accustomed to her reaction, for she usually responded this way every time he called her "Little Yu." But no matter how they debated birth order, he indeed was born just moments before her.

"Not interested, too ugly."

"..."

It's only human nature.

The love of beauty is an innate gene in every girl. For men, such an appearance is heroic and impressive, attention-grabbing even in a breeze atop it. But for Ye Wuyu, that bloated pine cone was so ugly she wouldn't want to take it out and be embarrassed.

"Then for now, it belongs to me, okay?"

He shook his head helplessly.

Capturing this Demon Beast was not too perilous given the siblings' strength, especially since the beast was already exhausted. The Dongyue Lang and Xiang Clans were just ordinary to them, the type they could fight or ignore without consequence.
