This Is What a Villain Is Like

Chapter 188: Chapter 96: He’s Too Terrifying, You Can’t Beat Him, Immortal Embryo Creation Dew Obtained

He had even greater schemes and plans.

RUMBLE!!!

A violent tremor shook the heavens. The moment Li Daoyi heard Ling Zhuyun’s furious question, he guessed Ye Ming’s identity and abandoned his current opponent.

The golden Great Seal he had summoned began to glow, shining like a blazing sun and illuminating everything around it. A sky full of radiant light, like a cloud of smoke, surged toward Ye Ming, trying to stop him.

However, at this moment, a monstrous sea of blood billowed out from behind the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Puppet. It looked as if a real ocean had materialized, exuding a murderous Evil Qi that was terrifying beyond belief.

The golden Great Seal and the sea of blood crashed into each other. The resulting shockwave ripped through the air, completely destroying the surrounding mountains and turning them into rubble.

Both Zixia Daoist and Ling Zhuyun could only watch helplessly as Ye Ming coughed up a mouthful of blood, then transformed into a streak of rosy light and fled at an even greater speed.

Seeing Ye Ming escape, the various Blood Immortal Sect members present knew the outcome was settled. They each used their own techniques to conceal themselves and prepared to flee in different directions.

’But do you really think you can escape?’

Elder Purple Mist’s eyes turned icy. He sneered inwardly, sensed the aura of the Blood Infant Skill, and immediately shot off in pursuit, unwilling to let Ye Ming escape.

Ling Zhuyun’s expression was frosty, her black silk hair floating on the wind. She stood poised with her sword in the air, a lone figure beneath the starry sky.

Her eyes were frigid. As her grip on the Daoist Sword tightened, her knuckles turned white.

’To think I failed to stop Ye Ming even under these circumstances. It will probably be even harder to kill him in the future.’

’Ye Ming has so many tricks, especially his methods for changing his appearance and concealing his aura. Even I find them troublesome and difficult to see through.’

"If only I had known sooner and been prepared, he wouldn’t have escaped so easily."

She did not give chase. That bizarre, blood-colored figure gave her an extremely dangerous feeling.

She was not certain she could kill Ye Ming even if she did pursue him. On the contrary, she might fall into a trap left by the Blood Immortal Sect.

Meanwhile, the chaotic battle in the distance for the Four Saints Ancient Celestial Skill also drew to a close.

Numerous figures attacked at once, clashing as they vied for the ball of light. Then, each person grabbed a piece and quickly fled.

They knew that once Jiang Lan’s people were free, they would surely target them. Thus, after seizing the opportunity, they did not linger, departing immediately and leaving no chance for pursuit.

Seeing this, Ling Zhuyun was slightly taken aback. She then looked toward Jiang Lan not far away, a hint of guilt appearing in her eyes.

Her original intention was to help Jiang Lan reclaim the opportunity that belonged to him, but she hadn’t expected to be held up by the matter with Ye Ming, allowing these people’s schemes to succeed.

Now that they had snatched the opportunity and fled in different directions, chasing them was impossible.

"That blood-colored figure... it didn’t seem like a real person. It was somewhat like a puppet, but its strength was extremely formidable and very difficult to deal with..."

Li Daoyi hadn’t given chase either. He frowned and spoke, having clearly sensed how bizarre and tenacious the blood-colored figure was when they had fought.

"On that day at the Drunken Immortal Residence, the assassin who attacked the Young Master seemed to have an accomplice who could control puppets. Even the Sixth Realm expert protecting the Young Master had trouble subduing them."

"I suspect there is a terrifying being controlling that Blood-colored Puppet from the shadows, one who has not yet shown themselves. Saintess Zhu Yun, you must not act on impulse and give chase."

He speculated with a frown.

’Ling Zhuyun froze for a moment. She thought about the "senior" those Blood Immortal Sect disciples had mentioned earlier. Could that be the one secretly controlling the Blood-colored Puppet?’

She had indeed noticed something strange. That blood-colored figure did not seem like a living person.

It was more like some kind of puppet, feeling no pain. Even when injured, it remained fearless and undaunted, continuing its relentless assault. It was truly a troublesome foe.

Faced with such a thing, even she was unsure how to handle it.

In the chaotic battle just now, quite a few people from the Blood Immortal Sect had emerged.

Among them were some from the younger generation, hidden within the Great Teaching Immortal Sects. However, they all used Secret Techniques or Exotic Treasures to hide their true faces and methods, making it difficult to determine their origins.

"The Blood Immortal Sect is becoming more and more rampant..." Li Daoyi sighed.

After such a chaotic battle, the area was left devastated. Even the pavilion at the center of the lake had been destroyed in the fighting.

There weren’t many cultivators left in front of the stone wall either. Some innocent people had been caught in the crossfire and died. Now that the melee was over, few dared to remain.

Of course, many more left because they had a guilty conscience. They had participated in the scramble for the Four Saints Ancient Celestial Skill and feared a reckoning from the Prime Minister’s Mansion, so they departed early.

Now that the Ancient Celestial Skill was beyond their reach, staying here would only bring them unnecessary trouble.

"Young Master, we have failed you..."

"We still let those people snatch the opportunity away..."

On the mountaintop, Ao Xu, Luo Ying, and the other members of the younger generation were all nursing injuries.

Even though their strength was considerable, they couldn’t gain an advantage when facing young prodigies of similar power. They were injured in the chaotic battle and failed to secure the opportunity of the Four Saints Ancient Celestial Skill.

Many people, upon seeing them make a move, would even join forces to deal with them first. This was why, despite their numbers, they couldn’t gain any advantage.

"I was so focused on dealing with Ye Ming that I lost sight of the important task at hand."

"I even let him escape. I couldn’t stop him. Once he leaves this Secret Realm, I fear he will bring some unforeseen disasters to the outside world."

Ling Zhuyun said with a hint of guilt.

Jiang Lan, however, waved his hand dismissively. "It’s fine. The Four Saints Ancient Celestial Skill isn’t that useful to me anyway. I didn’t come to this Secret Realm for the Four Saints Ancient Celestial Skill in the first place."
