I Truly Am The Villian

Watching such a large statue emerge from the ground, everyone was taken aback.

But then they all quickly recovered.

"It turns out to be an Elder of the Mountain God Tribe," a man from the Moon Shadow Clan spoke first, inquiring.

"I wonder why the Mountain God Tribe is here?"

"This fellow disturbed our tribe’s sacrificial ceremony; we’ve come specifically to capture him and bring him back for punishment," explained the statue, speaking human language in a calm tone.

"That explanation doesn’t really hold up, there has to be a proper sequence of events," the masked man said with a smile.

"Our Clan Leader’s son was killed, no matter what, he has to come with us first."

Watching the two fight over his ownership, Xu Zimei shook his head and laughed.

The allure of the True Divine Sword was indeed great.

It was said to be for revenge, but that was only part of it, the bigger reason was they also wanted the True Divine Sword.

Both let out a cold snort.

"Then let’s rely on our own abilities, whoever captures him, keeps him," stated the masked man indifferently.

"I have the same intention," replied the statue just as coolly.

He reached out his hand, and suddenly the sky shattered and the earth split, as endless power wrapped around him and pressed down towards Xu Zimei.

Xu Zimei clenched his hand, as if grasping the whole void in his palm.

He threw a punch directly.

The aftermath of the explosion collapsed the inn immediately, and one of the arms of the statue was smashed by Xu Zimei’s punch.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, but what if the prey is a tiger?" Xu Zimei chuckled lightly.

He advanced with vigor, stepping once and soaring to the sky, Heaven Shaking power exploded from him.

He charged towards the statue.

His speed was extremely fast, nearly leaving behind trails of afterimages.

Another punch, the statue didn’t even have time to react, and his heart was pierced.

Seeing this scene, the masked man was slightly startled.

He hurriedly shouted, "I’ll help you."

Dark and white aura surrounded him and transformed into a streak of light charging at Xu Zimei.

"Get lost," Xu Zimei kicked out, sending the man flying.

He then rushed directly towards the statue, his hands smashing downward powerfully.

The huge head of the statue was crushed in the void.

"Ahh," a scream erupted from the statue.

"You offend the Mountain God; you will eventually be punished."

"That doesn’t mean you can point fingers," Xu Zimei said coolly.

Following the destruction of the statue, dust filled the air, leaving the place in chaos.

Xu Zimei turned around, only to see that all members of the Moon Shadow Clan were trembling.

"Go," the masked man yelled, fleeing towards the city’s outskirts.

Xu Zimei waved his right hand, stating, "Since you’ve come, you might as well stay."

A "rumbling" authority like a rolling river cascaded down from above like a waterfall, immediately suppressing everyone.

Then the sound of swords chimed, and before the people even realized how to draw their swords, their heads had fallen, and their warm blood turned cold.

...

Xu Zimei looked around; besides the ruin-like scene, Ji Ruobing had also disappeared without a trace.

Xu Zimei chuckled lightly.

These Form Blood Beasts were quite cunning, using these people to stall him while secretly capturing Ji Ruobing in the shadows.

Now, Xu Zimei was using himself as bait, aiming for a forthright and open strategy.

But these Form Blood Beasts targeted his companions as leverage, trying to force him to comply.

He extended his right hand, and a pale white gas twirled around his palm.

"Destiny," Xu Zimei murmured lowly.

The gases formed a line, floating in front of Xu Zimei, guiding his way.

Ji Ruobing’s True Fate was the Myriad Tribulations Cone, a very special True Fate.

The power it utilized was calamity.

Previously, the two had agreed to leave a trace of Spiritual Energy for each other, so if something happened to one, the other could quickly find them.

Moreover, the Spiritual Energy left by Ji Ruobing was calamity energy, which was significantly different from ordinary Spiritual Energy and generally difficult to detect.

He didn’t say anything to those War Gods, as he assumed the other party must have people secretly protecting him.

But even though Ji Ruobing had been captured without showing herself, it did reveal some attitudes.

...

Following the calamity energy line, he unexpectedly arrived at the most bustling main thoroughfare in the Destruction City’s East City District.

"Could they be hiding here?" Xu Zimei slightly frowned.

Form Blood Beasts hidden in Destruction City, most people’s first reaction would be to think that they must be hidden in dark places or some remote areas.

Never had he imagined they would be here so brazenly.

Xu Zimei looked up, in front of him was a very majestic mansion.

Surrounding the mansion were brownish walls,

And by the door squatted two lions—not stone lions, but real ones.

Their red fur seemed particularly ferocious, quietly lying on either side of the doorway.

Eyes slightly closed, inadvertently emanating a fierce animal might, enough to shock passerby.

The door was vermilion,

And overhead, on the black plaque, a few glittering golden characters were written.

"Lion Mansion."

Right as Xu Zimei stood at the doorway observing, the figure of the Wood War God came walking over from the side.

Xu Zimei glanced at him without showing curiosity.

His every move now was affecting the strings of many people’s hearts.

"Do you have a clue?" the Wood War God asked.

"What place is this?" Xu Zimei asked.

"You mean Lion Mansion?" the Wood War God chuckled.

"This is one of the strongest forces in Destruction City.

It’s different in nature from gangs like the Bull Head Gang and Moon Shadow Gang.

The Manor Master of Lion Mansion has influence over both light and dark.

One fifth of the properties in Destruction City have his fingerprints on them."

"Doesn’t anyone manage this?" Xu Zimei curiously asked.

Given his development, perhaps one day he could dominate the entire city.

This could greatly affect the rule of the Lord of Destruction.

"The City Lord doesn’t let us meddle; as long as the rules aren’t violated, he can freely expand," the Wood War God shrugged.

"The Manor Master of Lion Mansion is known as Mad Lion, his real name being Shi Qianshan, and as for his background, it’s quite mysterious."

"Can we go inside and look?" Xu Zimei asked.

"Looking is fine, but this guy is arrogant; he likely won’t consider us important," the Wood War God smiled.

"Not even you?" Xu Zimei curiously asked.

One should know the status of the Wood War God in Destruction City was second only to the Lord of Destruction.

The Wood War God just smiled, remaining silent without further elaboration.

"Let’s go inside then," Xu Zimei said.

The Wood War God nodded, looked towards the guarding lions, and said, "Go report that the Wood War God is here to visit your Manor Master."

The lion on the left opened its eyes, glanced indifferently at the Wood War God.

Subsequently, it let out a gentle roar.

Seemingly carrying a certain message within this roar, soon after, a man in a red long garment walked out from the mansion.

"Wood War God, what brings you to our Lion Mansion today?"
