This Is What a Villain Is Like

Chapter 182: Chapter 95: Unable to Argue, What’s Left to Say? He Is Beyond Your Comparison

A blood-red figure, shrouded in a crimson mist, burst out from the crowd.

Billowing clouds of blood surged skyward as it made a powerful move, attempting to intercept and seize the orb of light formed by the Four Saints Illusion.

At the same time, a host of Human-Faced Banners, wreathed in a bloody haze, shot up from the ground.

They let out chilling, unnerving cackles and charged in unison toward Jiang Lan, who stood atop the hill, seemingly intent on stopping him from obtaining the Four Saints Ancient Celestial Skill.

This sudden turn of events instantly threw the area into chaos. No one had expected that someone would dare to intervene at a moment like this.

Then again, who else but the Blood Immortal Sect would have such audacity?

"Protect the Young Master!"

The expressions of Li Daoyi, Ao Xu, and the others changed. They rushed to act, forming a barrier in front of Jiang Lan to block the approaching crimson figure.

Ling Zhuyun’s brow also furrowed. An aura of runes flickered between her fair hands, wreathed in a clear light that radiated a powerful fluctuation.

BOOM!!!

Just then, the Void ahead boomed as a terrifying power exploded with astonishing force.

A small, jade-white hand slapped down, containing a level of power so terrifying it seemed capable of shattering a great mountain.

An elegant figure with her face veiled by light gauze appeared, exuding a serene aura.

Li Mengning, her face impassive, had made her move. She sent a palm strike flying toward the blood-red figure.

Her long, gauzy dress flowed around her, giving her an otherworldly air of detachment, yet her presence was chilling and dreadful.

However, the palm strike, imbued with the full force of her cultivation, only managed to send the blood-red figure flying. It didn’t explode on impact.

A hint of confusion appeared in her serene eyes. ’The enemy seems unexpectedly strong.’

"Who is that? To be so powerful as to withstand a blow from Junior Sister Li Mengning?"

Li Daoyi knew full well how powerful Li Mengning was, so seeing this scene left him stunned.

To take a direct hit from her and be unharmed—the hazy figure shrouded in the bloody mist was extraordinarily powerful.

His expression immediately became vigilant and grave.

The rest of the Knights also moved to guard Jiang Lan.

However, this brief opening was all the opportunity needed. From all directions, streaks of Divine Rainbows shot toward the orb of light formed by the Four Saints Illusion, all vying to seize the fortuitous encounter within.

These figures all used their own methods to conceal their true appearances. After all, they were trying to steal an opportunity from the Prime Minister’s Mansion’s young master. If they didn’t hide their faces, they would surely fear retaliation later.

"Damn it, these guys are taking advantage of the chaos..."

"It really is the Blood Immortal Sect..."

"The people from the Blood Immortal Sect have made their move..."

"Damn it! I knew these remnants of the Blood Immortal Sect were hiding in the shadows, lying in wait."

The area instantly descended into chaos. The faces of many cultivators changed drastically as they scrambled to retreat.

But some still kept their eyes fixed on the orb of light. The Blood Immortal Sect and others were already trying to snatch it, so why couldn’t they?

The night was dark and chaotic anyway—a perfect time to fish in troubled waters.

"A fortuitous encounter from heaven and earth belongs to the virtuous. Since this Four Saints Ancient Celestial Skill has manifested, it means it is ownerless. Why can’t we fight for it?"

A young Celestial Pride with blood-red markings on his face whispered.

He wore a wide, red robe. Seeing the chaos, he couldn’t hold back any longer. Using a Secret Technique to conceal his face, he too made a powerful move.

"It looks like one of our Blood Immortal Sect experts has made a move."

"An opportunity like this should rightfully belong to our Holy Sect."

"These other fools don’t know what’s good for them, daring to try and snatch it..."

Seeing the pandemonium, the many Blood Immortal Sect cultivators who had been lying in wait also sprang into action.

"What is the meaning of this? Do you not fear a reckoning from the Prime Minister’s Mansion afterward?"

Seeing more and more figures begin to fight over the orb of light, Ao Xu, who was guarding Jiang Lan, roared in anger.

With a wave of his hand, the brilliant light on his robes transformed into a draconic phantom and charged directly at the crowd in front of them.

"Heh, I knew this opportunity wouldn’t be so easy to get."

Ye Ming felt a sense of schadenfreude as he watched the scene unfold.

Previously, when he saw the Four Saints Illusion acknowledge Jiang Lan, he had felt indignant and unwilling to accept it. But the current situation made him sneer inwardly.

’I know Jiang Lan is hiding his true strength, but with so many people here, his secrets will be exposed if he’s forced to act.’

’So, I can use this opportunity to fight for the Four Saints Ancient Celestial Skill myself.’

’Old Ghost, if anything unexpected happens, I’ll have to rely on you...’

’But no matter what, I will obtain the Four Saints Ancient Celestial Skill today.’

Ye Ming made his move. Beneath his robes, the brilliant light of runes emerged from a Secret Treasure resembling a Bronze Ancient Lamp.

An eerie green flame burned within. Just a wisp of its aura leaking out was enough to make the surrounding Void blur and darken.

This was a terrifying scorching power that an ordinary Fifth Realm cultivator wouldn’t dare to touch.

It was a Secret Treasure he had acquired by chance, but now, in order to vie for the Four Saints Ancient Celestial Skill and defeat the powerful enemies present, he had no choice but to bring it out.

A chaotic battle raged ahead. Human-Faced Banners flashed past, and numerous cultivators shrouded in bloody shadows attacked. All sorts of Magic evolved, Magical Artifacts collided, and the power was astonishing.

Brilliant radiances bloomed, exploding one after another in the Void.

All kinds of Runes manifested, transforming into Ancient Mirrors, Divine Seals, Ancient Bells, and Treasure Talismans... Peerless divine light erupted, forming rays of iridescent light that pulsed with a destructive aura.

The surrounding rocks exploded. Many cultivators didn’t even have time to scream before they were turned to ash, caught in the aftershocks and obliterated without a trace.

The shockwaves swept over a wide area. The emerald-like Bihu Lake had also been destroyed, leaving behind a scene of utter ruin.
