Villain : After Slacking Off, The Protagonist Collapse - Chapter 131
Chapter 131
“I should actually thank Jiang Chen for this!” Du Guyun couldn’t help but lick his lips. “If Jiang Chen hadn’t killed Moyuan, I wouldn’t have been able to devour his origin. Moyuan is far more valuable than Qin Ershi.”
Given the choice between the two, he would definitely choose Moyuan. As a demon race prodigy, Moyuan was superior to Qin Ershi in every aspect, especially his unparalleled physique, which Du Guyun had long coveted.
However, due to his inferior strength and status, Du Guyun never dared to act on his desires. In terms of status, he certainly couldn’t compare to Moyuan. If he attacked Moyuan,
Du Guxiong would definitely side with Moyuan, and Du Guyun was well aware of this. In terms of strength, he was even less a match for Moyuan. Without the same level of confidence, he wouldn’t have been so severely defeated by the Pure Yang Holy Son.
But now, things were different. Having assimilated Moyuan’s origin, Du Guyun believed he had the power to even directly overpower the Pure Yang Holy Son if they met again.
“Pure Yang Holy Son, I’ll remember this!” Du Guyun grew even angrier thinking about the Pure Yang Holy Son’s attitude.
Another name was added to his list of targets. Over time, the number of people on Du Guyun’s hit list had grown, yet he hadn’t managed to act on any.
Suddenly, Du Guyun’s complexion changed drastically as an inexplicable power burst forth within him, a power so immense that he couldn’t contain it. It exploded before he could react.
The explosion sent shockwaves throughout the surrounding ocean, creating a massive whirlpool. “Jiang Chen!” Du Guyun struggled to reconstruct his body, his face pale with gritted teeth.
Then, he panicked. “What’s happening? Why has my realm fallen? And my soul has been affected too!” Du Guyun was in total disarray.
His realm had not only fallen from the Life and Death Realm, but it had also plummeted all the way to the Soul Sea Realm. Such a loss was irreversible and his origin had been affected as well. This meant Du Guyun had to start over from the Soul Sea Realm.
“Could this have been Jiang Chen’s doing? No, he couldn’t have known I would devour Moyuan’s origin. Could it be a residual power left by Jiang Chen?” Du Guyun was filled with turmoil as he considered the possibilities.
The first option was unlikely because Jiang Chen couldn’t have predicted Du Guyun would devour Moyuan’s origin, especially since Du Guyun’s cultivation of the Immortal Devouring Technique was known only to a few.
It indicated that Jiang Chen hadn’t acted deliberately but that the power he had left behind during the encounter inadvertently caused this.
“Damn it!” Du Guyun felt like cursing. Such misfortune seemed almost fated. Not only had he gained nothing from this ordeal, but he had also suffered significant losses.
“Darn it!” Du Guyun couldn’t help but feel like vomiting blood at the thought of his situation. Such bad luck was unbelievable.
Even in such circumstances, such unlucky incidents still happened? He was completely numb to it now. This time, not only did he gain nothing, but he also suffered huge losses. It was a total disaster.
“I must leave the Supreme Palace! If I continue to stay, I will surely die!” Du Guyun silently said to himself.
Now that his identity has been exposed, the news will spread quickly. If he continues to stay here, he will inevitably be hunted by people from the outside.
‘If my realm hadn’t fallen, it might have been okay, but now that my realm has plummeted…Just about anyone could kill me.’
‘Moreover, if I stay here too long, it will lead to people blocking the exit outside. Considering the dangers inside, the outside world is truly fraught with peril.’
‘Once my identity is exposed, I am doomed to die. Even Dugu Xiong wouldn’t dare to intervene.’
Du Guyun sighed, gazing through the endless sea towards the distant skies filled with regret. “I originally wanted to gain opportunities to enhance my strength here. But unexpectedly, I didn’t gain anything and instead suffered heavy losses.”
“All of this is because of Jiang Chen!” The more Du Guyun thought about it, the angrier he became, his hatred towards Jiang Chen growing increasingly intense. He wanted Jiang Chen to wish for death but be unable to die.
“Alas, the power has been triggered! Du Guyun is really too impatient! Isn’t he afraid of dying, not fearing that someone might be waiting around?” Feeling the disturbance from afar, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile.
When dealing with Moyuan, he had deliberately left a hidden power, just waiting for Du Guyun to take the bait.
As long as this guy dared to absorb Moyuan’s origin, this power would be triggered, severely wounding Du Guyun.
The worst-case scenario would have him lying in a coma for half a year, and the least severe outcome would be a drop in realm.
“Now, Du Guyun must be raging impotently, probably not realizing that this was my deliberate action, possibly thinking it was an unintentional power left behind!”
“But based on his character, he must now hate me even more!” Jiang Chen said with a laugh.
He knew Du Guyun too well, whether it was his impatience or his mentality.
Because he knew Du Guyun was eager to absorb Moyuan’s origin, he was able to leave a booby trap inside.
The goal was to give Du Guyun a wakeup call. Evidently, Du Guyun had received this wakeup call.
Actually, if Du Guyun had waited a while before absorbing the origin, the effects of this hidden danger wouldn’t have been so severe. Unfortunately, Du Guyun wasn’t that cautious. Seeing an opportunity, he couldn’t wait to proceed.
If he had been more cautious, perhaps the origin would have been less, but it wouldn’t have triggered the hidden danger.
At the very least, he wouldn’t have been severely injured, and his strength would still be intact, allowing for improvement. Now, due to Du Guyun’s impatience and eagerness to absorb Moyuan’s origin, he ended up losing terribly.
“If this guy knew it was my intentional doing would he be so angry that he’d jump up and down?” Thinking about Du Guyun’s reaction after finding out, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
Based on Du Guyun’s character, it’s very likely he would react this way. Probably enough to drive him mad with rage, directly attacking him.
Hmm?
Jiang Chen seemed to sense something and reached out his hand.
Inside the Sword Island, the grand hall slowly opened, and Jing Muyu emerged, excited.
“Brother Jiang Chen, Sister Yan Ruyu!” Jing Muyu hopped out, looking for Jiang Chen and Yan Ruyu, seemingly with happy news to share with them.
However, after looking around, she didn’t see either of them. Jing Muyu felt extremely upset and disappointed, butut soon, a powerful force swept over.
Before Jing Muyu could understand what was happening, Jiang Chen had already appeared in front of her.
“How do you feel?” Jiang Chen gently touched Jing Muyu’s head, asking with a smile.
“I feel great! Brother Jiang Chen, I’ve reached the Soul Palace Realm!” As Jing Muyu spoke, she demonstrated her strength.
She waved her hands, and sword qi swirled around her like dragons, circling around her.
“Very good! It won’t be long before Muyu can catch up with me! By then, I’ll be able to retire and live comfortably!” Jiang Chen praised generously.
