I Am the Fated Villain - Chapter 167
Chapter 167: The script is ready, causing irreversible waves
Ignoring Gu Xian’er’s enraged and cryptic glare, Gu Changge seemed unfazed by her apparent intent to cause harm. He shook his head, then stood up with a slight sigh.
As her brother, he had incorporated some training to help her advance her cultivation and seek revenge as soon as possible. Was this a mistake?
Sooner or later, she would understand his good intentions and be deeply touched by them. He no longer concerned himself with Gu Xian’er, who was still in conflict with others.
In the vicinity, the runic light shot into the sky like an exploding star, bright and dazzling, making it difficult for many people to keep their eyes open.
Feathered clan, do you intend to provoke a war with my Ancient Immortal Gu family?
Cough, cough!
Gu Changge looked at Yu Jing, who was nearby, and spoke calmly. But before he could finish, his face paled, and he coughed as if he had aggravated an injury. Someone behind him quickly handed him a handkerchief, their eyes filled with concern.
Could their frail master still stand up at this moment?
Many followers were distraught. Seeing Gu Changge in such a bad condition, they realized his injuries hadn’t improved at all during this time.
This deepened their hatred for the feathered clan even more. They were willing to sacrifice a divine weapon to exploit Gu Changge’s weakened state. It was outrageous.
Gu Changge was compassionate and cared for the world. He had been seriously injured in a battle with a demonic art inheritor. Yet, various Ancient Immortal Clans seized the opportunity to use sacred weapons to prepare an attack on him.
Weren’t they afraid of provoking public outrage if news of their actions spread?
Many people glared at the feathered creatures ahead, but Yu Jing seemed oblivious to their hostile stares.
Her gaze turned icy as she locked eyes with Gu Changge and uttered, “Gu Changge when you attacked members of my clan, did you ever consider this day? When you took the life of Lord Long Teng, you should have anticipated all of this even more. You’ve brought this upon yourself with your actions.”
“Knowing all of this, why act in the first place? A villain like you will face consequences sooner or later.”
Her words dripped with righteousness as she stood firm on the justice pedestal. To them, Gu Changge was the ultimate adversary, a ruthless slayer of the prodigies from all ancient immortal clans.
But now, Gu Changge dared to utter such words, attempting to leverage his backing to suppress her. This filled Yu Jing with elation. What did this signify?
It meant that Gu Changge had exhausted his resources. Why resort to such words if he still possessed strength and trump cards?
Was there an enemy of the Ancient Immortal Gu family backing him? The fury of all the ancient immortal clans was now directed at Gu Changge. Regardless of how powerful the Ancient Immortal Gu family was, could they dare to defy the rules and launch an all-out attack?
Moreover, this had been agreed upon even before the Immortal Ancient Continent’s opening. Live or die!
Long Teng is no more. I have nothing to say if you seek vengeance for his demise.
Gu Changge’s tone was measured, and his expression was calm. In the eyes of the onlookers, the image of a once-proud tiger is now cornered and harassed by mere dogs.
Master!
His followers felt a suffocating sense of discomfort, some clenching their fists and emitting low growls. They were profoundly disheartened. This scene resembled the downfall of a hero!
Who among the younger generation wouldn’t bow in reverence upon seeing him?
Even the Grand Elder of the Dao Heavenly Immortal Palace wouldn’t dare to rebuke such a confident and invincible man. Yet now, due to severe injuries, he was being coerced by a mere feathered clan.
Indeed, the Feathered Clan wasn’t a feeble faction within the Ancient Immortal continent; their power was formidable enough to rank among the top fifteen. But was there indeed nothing the master could do?
Gu Xian’er, engaged in battle with a group of feathered individuals, was momentarily stunned by Gu Changge’s words.
Could Gu Changge’s injuries be that severe?
Had it reached a point where he could only deter the opposition with his backing?
She couldn’t shake off the feeling that Gu Changge’s words harbored an unknown and terrifying murderous intent.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Divine lights streaked across the sky from all directions as other young geniuses, upon hearing the news, rushed to the scene. The Feathered Clan had attacked Gu Changge’s sanctuary. News of this incident spread rapidly, evoking shock, anger, and swift support from many quarters.
After all, Gu Changge now symbolized the entire younger generation of the outside world and had sustained grave injuries at the hands of the demonic art inheritor. Failing to step forward and offer aid at this critical juncture would weigh heavily on their conscience.
Don’t even think about harming Young Master Changge!
A young genius bellowed, radiant with divine brilliance, leading a host of imposing figures to the scene.
With us here, the Feathered Clan won’t rampage unchecked! Despite Young Master Changge’s injuries, we stand united!
Simultaneously, several divine lights emerged from another direction, their voices echoing with fury. Upon hearing these declarations, Gu Changge inwardly chuckled as he had anticipated this turn of events. Yet, his expression remained unchanged.
“With the support of both seniors and juniors, your Feathered Clan may not prevail today,” he remarked slowly.
“Gu Changge, no matter how many allies you rally today, it won’t alter the outcome,” Yu Jing retorted coldly, dismissing the approaching geniuses without a second thought.
For a brief moment, young prodigies from various Taoist lineages filled the sky in every direction, their visages contorted with anger. They hadn’t anticipated the Feathered Clan’s continued arrogance and disregard for their presence.
It appears that the various tribes of the Ancient Immortal Continent are genuinely intent on provoking us, even going so far as to sacrifice their divine artifact.
A young genius was astonished to see the divine artifact in Yu Jing’s possession. Once the power of the Sacred Realm was invoked, it was beyond the younger generation’s capacity to contend with.
This realization only served to stoke their irritation and fear further. The Feathered Clan had blatantly disregarded all boundaries and seemed bent on destruction.
“Damn it, I must report today’s events to the Dao lineage supporting us. They need to know that this Feathered Clan is truly deceitful!” Someone exclaimed angrily.
The Ancient Immortal Continent belonged to the various Ancient Immortal tribes. While they had come to test themselves, there was a strict agreement barring intervention from the older generation. This was because the strength of the elders far surpassed that of the younger generation. If the senior figures were to intervene, it would render the entire experience meaningless.
Now, with the Feathered Clan’s use of a divine weapon, they were blatantly violating this agreement. How could this not shock and enrage them?
“Enough talk. What difference does it make if we eliminate you?” Yu Jing sneered.
Do it!
Buzz!
With those words, several figures behind her wasted no time appearing across the sky, assuming their forms akin to gods and demons and striking in unison. Suddenly, a strange sound reverberated through the heavens, akin to the roar of dragons and the bellow of tigers.
Immediately after that, their power surged like a tide, dominating the sky. The immense fluctuations sent shockwaves rippling through the world, causing surrounding cliffs to crumble and crash to the ground.
Damn it!
Do they think we’re afraid of them?
Attack!
“We’ll seize this opportunity to annihilate these Ancient Immortal creatures…”
“Young Master Changge possesses a noble heart and was injured for the sake of all races. Now is the time for us to stand by him.”
“Why didn’t you come forward when Young Master Changge was uninjured? Now you show your faces? Just a bunch of bullies and cowards.”
Witnessing this, other young prodigies fumed angrily and rushed to engage the powerful adversaries.
I must express gratitude to all the esteemed seniors for their assistance.
Gu Changge expressed his thoughts with a smile, his demeanor filled with genuine appreciation. Yet, amidst the fray, Gu Xian’er, locked in combat with the enemy, sensed a profound malevolence emanating from his smile.
Regardless of Gu Changge’s weakened state, he was not someone the Feathered Clan could easily bully. The aura he exuded in the hall earlier had been overwhelming, suffocating her. So, what was his true motive?
Gu Xian’er harbored suspicions. In her understanding, Gu Changge’s terror transcended mere physical strength.
Rumble!
Countless formidable warriors of the Feathered Clan sprang into action, each with cultivation bases in the False God realm. Suddenly, chaos erupted. It was as if a river of stars descended from the heavens, akin to the explosion of an ancient celestial body. The tremendous energy fluctuations swept through everything, unleashing destructive winds that laid waste to all in their path.
The power each wielded was as formidable as that of the True God realm! One young Supreme, who arrived to lend support, transformed into a prototype resembling a phoenix. It breathed monstrous flames that engulfed the surroundings, morphing into a terrifying avian form.
With a step on the void, eyes resembling copper bells, it charged forward like a magma blast. The scorching heat seared the void, leaving behind blackened edges.
“It’s futile. You are too feeble! Aside from Gu Changge, you are all vulnerable.”
Yu Jing remarked coldly, unleashing a powerful technique with a raised hand, causing ancient glyphs to densely array in the void. Now in his original form, the young Supreme spat blood and staggered backward, brimming with reluctance. The gap in their cultivation realms was insurmountable; he stood no chance against Yu Jing.
Simultaneously, like a miniature golden sun, the divine artifact in Yu Jing’s possession gradually regained its power. Its vast potency crushed in all directions, causing hearts to race, souls to tremble, and legs to weaken, tempting all to kneel before its might. This was the power of the sacred realm.
While Yu Jing remained wary of Gu Changge, primarily due to the sword pill harboring a terrifying sword energy, she suspected he had few tricks left.
“Gu Changge, today marks the end of your life,” Yu Jing sneered, believing Gu Changge no longer possessed his former strength.
“Do the various clans of the Ancient Immortal Continent truly have no fear of the scrutiny of the outside world?”
Gu Changge inquired indifferently, his complexion appearing weak and pallid, yet his expression remained composed. Perched atop the mountain, he seemed as fragile as a gust of wind could blow him away. However, divine symbols flickered in his eyes as if he were unraveling the universe to find a solution amidst the chaos.
However, in reality, Gu Changge was merely putting on a facade. He understood the delicate balance required to evoke a sense of seriousness and tragedy, thereby stoking everyone’s hatred toward the clans of the ancient immortal continent. It was a delicate task. If he overplayed his hand, suspicions of ulterior motives would arise.
Yet, Gu Changge believed he needed to bide his time for a critical moment. Despite his severe injuries and damaged origin, he had bravely stood against the might of the divine weapon for the sake of numerous young talents.
This bitter drama had served its purpose. Many young prodigies would be incensed, viewing the ancient immortal clans as a thorn in their side, their animosity reaching its zenith. Moreover, he could seize this opportunity to bolster his reputation, which would be a valuable asset for the future.
“Master…”
“You’re gravely injured. Please refrain from entering the fray!” His followers implored, joining the battle at this juncture.
“Allowing you to fight at the forefront while I, as your master, hide behind? Where’s the dignity in that, Gu Changge?” someone protested.
With an unwavering expression, Gu Changge shook his head. His script was set, and he couldn’t afford to deviate from it now.
Boom!
As he spoke, his aura shifted, and his feeble body seemed to ignite with renewed vigor. The vast, surging aura returned, yet Gu Changge’s complexion grew increasingly pallid as if drained of all blood.
Young Master Changge, No!
Ugh!
You must consider the consequences!
This spectacle elicited profound concern among many young geniuses. They knew this was undoubtedly a secret technique capable of temporarily boosting one’s cultivation to its peak state. However, such methods often carried horrific aftereffects.
Especially considering Gu Changge’s already damaged origin and severe injuries, such a move was likely to inflict irreversible harm upon him, potentially affecting his future cultivation.
“How long can such a secret technique last?”
Yu Jing sneered, her eyes aglow with the same magical runes. She could already discern that Gu Changge’s blood essence was rapidly depleting, leaving him artificially empowered.
“It’s enough to vanquish you,” Gu Changge retorted lightly, seeming to have returned to his peak state.
Suddenly, a divine weapon array materialized behind him, emanating a surging divine light that reached the heavens, exuding unparalleled tyranny.
It’s genuinely formidable.
Yu Jing’s expression shifted slightly before she regained her composure, recalling the divine artifact in her possession.
“The Feathered Clan, and perhaps the entire Ancient Immortal Clan, will bear the consequences for their actions today,” Gu Changge declared casually, his eyes betraying a hint of amusement that went unnoticed.
With that, he descended from the mountaintop and vanished. Simultaneously, a clanking resounded from the Divine Weapon Collection.
Puff!
Various weapons—swords, spears, halberds, axes, sabers, hooks, and forks—materialized within.
“Attack!”
Yu Jing bellowed, golden wings ablaze behind her as she charged toward Gu Changge.
Meanwhile, the geniuses from the Feathered Clan, who had come to kill him, did not dare to be careless. They unleashed various powers—some transformed into fiery abysses, others wielded the destructive light of soul destruction, while others employed ancient secret techniques to suppress everything.
Each method was compelling and terrifying, capable of rivaling the heritage of an entire lineage. Yet, they all directed their assaults at Gu Changge without hesitation.
This scene sent shockwaves through the assembled creatures and cultivators. It was evident that everyone feared Gu Changge. Even in his weakened state, he commanded respect and apprehension.
“Yu Jing brought a divine artifact… No wonder she exudes such confidence. But I fear it may not be enough…” Hei Yan Yu observed, appearing atop a distant mountain alongside the younger generation of other ethnic groups from the Ancient Immortal Continent, watching the unfolding events with astonishment.
Simultaneously, Hei Yan Yu harbored a foreboding sensation. Even though she hadn’t anticipated Yu Jing bringing a divine artifact, this development had crossed a dangerous threshold. If Yu Jing succeeded in killing Gu Changge, all would be well. However, if she failed, it would spell significant trouble.
At that very moment on the battlefield, a sudden scream pierced the air, followed by a gruesome spray of blood. Several young geniuses from the Feathered Clan were torn asunder, their bodies obliterated, and their spirits shattered. The dazzling array of divine weapons surged forth, indiscriminately slaughtering all in their path.
Gu Changge’s expression remained unchanged despite his pallid visage. With a single punch, he dispatched all foes before him. His movements were swift, relentless. With each step, he unleashed devastation, wielding a sword that unleashed a terrifying aura spanning nearly a hundred miles.
Chi chi chi!
Amidst successive screams, all of the Feathered Clan powerhouses attacking him collapsed. Yu Jing’s pupils contracted in horror.
Gu Changge is genuinely terrible. I may not be a match even in his weakened state, facing him alone.
She acknowledged, activating her full strength without hesitation, even resorting to her blood essence to awaken the divine artifact in her grasp. This weapon shared a spiritual bond with her; otherwise, given her current condition, she wouldn’t have been able to wield it.
At this juncture, the expressions of everyone present shifted. Even Gu Changge, amidst the fray, furrowed his brow as if confronted with a perplexing challenge.
Boom! A tremendous pressure erupted, shaking the very foundation of the battleground. Subsequently, a golden figure, radiant like the sun, ascended into the sky, its wings spanning wide, shrouding the heavens and eclipsing the sun. It exuded an aura of unparalleled terror—it was the spirit of the divine artifact!
This golden sun shimmered with countless divine symbols, and Yu Jing’s complexion paled as she unleashed its monstrous power. Floating in the sky, it seemed capable of piercing the entire world.
“This fluctuation…”
“A divine weapon! And not just any divine weapon!”
Many young supremes en route, including Wang Wushuang, Ye Langtian, and others, sensed the aura and couldn’t help but react with astonishment.
This fluctuation emanates from where Brother Gu is recuperating. Could the clans of the Ancient Immortal Continent have resorted to using a divine weapon to kill him?
Chi Ling’s complexion turned drastically, her anger palpable.
These Ancient Immortal clans are courting death! Do they genuinely believe we are easy prey?!
To openly deploy a divine weapon is utterly shameless!
Disregarding the ongoing experience, Chi Ling swiftly retrieved a transmission talisman to notify her allies of the unfolding events.
“Brother, the Ancient Immortal clans have stooped too low in their attempts to eliminate Gu Changge, haven’t they?”
“To wield a sacred weapon so brazenly—is it that they hold our clans and Taoist legacies in such low regard? They have crossed a line!”
The purple-clad girl beside Ye Langtian echoed his sentiments, incensed and furious.
“This matter is an egregious overstep by the Ancient Clans. I will inform our clan immediately that this experience has taken a turn for the worse,” Ye Langtian declared, his expression darkening.
Such scenes played out everywhere. The use of the divine artifact by the Ancient Immortal Clans had undeniably breached a threshold, sparking righteous indignation among their ranks.
Gu Changge had already suffered grievous injuries due to his confrontation with the demonic art inheritor. Yet, the Ancient Immortal Clan had brazenly employed a sacred artifact, seeking to eradicate them all. This incident sent shockwaves throughout the Ancient Immortal Continent, causing irreversible reverberations.
