I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2267
Chapter 2267: Chapter 2266: Forcing Me to Act, Qingfeng and Flame General
At this moment, accompanied by the triumphant laughter of the Five Elders.
The five of them crossed the path opened by the fire sea directly.
As long as they reached the end of this path, they could completely enter the Netherworld Realm.
However, the next moment.
The Heavenly Mysterious Cold Iron in the void enveloped them once more.
These blades split into two, then into three, and then into countless pieces.
The firmament above was filled with countless blade lights.
Each cold blade seemed to have been provoked.
Xu Zimei looked at the Five Elders’ smug expressions and shook his head slightly.
The heart severance tactic did work against ordinary cultivators.
But true strong opponents could trace the source and find the heart’s position.
Although this tracing was nothing compared to Xu Zimei’s source annihilation, it was not difficult to cut down a heart.
Only the “rumbling” sound was heard.
Countless blade lights fell, but they did not slash at the Five Elders. These blade lights merged into one.
Eventually transforming into an extremely powerful beam, like a blade of the dawn sun.
It pierced through the void, and the tip of the blade vanished into the unknown.
The Five Elders looked at each other, initially puzzled as to why these blade lights didn’t attack them.
But their expressions changed drastically soon after.
“Oh no,” their hearts shivered.
Even though their hearts were outside their bodies, they still had a sensing connection.
If there was danger or any change, they could sense it.
Now their hearts suddenly felt a tug.
Clearly, their hearts sensed a crisis, continuously sending warning signals.
“What’s going on?”
Fire Elder asked anxiously.
That Five-orifices Glazed Glass Heart was their life, their greatest trump card.
They would never allow any issue to arise with it.
Elder Jin looked at the blade light in the firmament and seemed to realize something.
After all, they were not fools.
He quickly shouted: “It’s the Heavenly Mysterious Cold Blades, they are tracing our hearts.”
“Quick, stop the blades.”
Earth Elder was the first to act, no longer caring about anything else.
“Earth’s Guard.”
He forcefully clapped his hands in the void.
A peculiar force passed through the earth, through the void, appearing around the Five-orifices Glazed Glass Heart.
Automatically forming a protective shield.
The others also reacted at this point.
They no longer cared about anything else.
Fire Elder raised his hands, dragons of fire shot out wildly.
Wood Elder transformed into vines, rising up to form an impenetrable wooden shield.
And Water Elder, using the power of the vast sea, raised shocking waves.
Five differently attributed powers formed their protective circles, merged, and united as one.
But they obviously underestimated the attack power of the Heavenly Mysterious Cold Blade of Blade Mountain.
And obviously overestimated their own strength.
Despite the unparalleled strength of the Power of the Five Elements, they ultimately were only at the Taoist Fruit realm.
Three Flowers had yet to bloom, Three Corpses had yet to split.
“Rumble, rumble.”
Blade Qi churned in the firmament, obliterating everything within.
Only a “crack” was heard.
As if something had shattered.
The Five Elders simultaneously spat a mouthful of blood.
Next, their aging appeared visibly fast.
“Unconvinced, unconvinced!”
All five of them roared angrily towards the sky, their voices filled with indescribable regret.
Then their bodies seemed unsupported, falling directly into the fire sea.
To them, with the heart shattered, their corporeal bodies were like soulless shells, useless.
If the heart existed, they could live forever.
It was all or nothing.
Seeing that all five had failed, the other outsiders also turned pale.
The Five Elders were rare strong opponents.
Yet they still failed.
Then these outsiders were even more out of their depth.
Some already had thoughts of retreat, but the desire to resurrect important people left them indecisive.
At this point, someone noticed Xu Zimei.
“Look, there’s still someone inside.”
“Who is that? Does anyone know him?”
The crowd buzzed with discussions.
The Five Elders failed, yet someone dared to venture inside, an apparent case of newborn calves not fearing tigers!
“Don’t recognize him, seems quite unfamiliar.”
“Another one doomed to die early.”
Xu Zimei wasn’t concerned about the outsiders’ voices.
Because he had slowly reached the middle position of Blade Mountain Fiery Sea.
He knew that although mechanisms lacked spirit, this Blade Mountain Fiery Sea was truly watched over by someone.
Everything these people did inside could be discovered.
Thus he was not urgent to break through Blade Mountain Fiery Sea.
Instead, he raised his head, his eyes piercing through Blade Mountain Fiery Sea’s cover, landing on a certain place within the void.
He casually said: “I don’t intend to destroy this place, I came to the Netherworld Realm to visit old friends. I hope you all won’t obstruct me.”
Inside that void, behind the fire sea.
Two people stood.
They were the controllers of Blade Mountain Fiery Sea, guarding the gate of the Netherworld Realm.
The left one wore a blue Daoist robe, currently seated cross-legged, hand seals formed, integrating with Blade Mountain Fiery Sea.
He was an elder, with a stable expression and an extraordinary aura.
And the right one was a brawny man.
The brawny man wore red armor, standing on the erupting volcano, his expression solemn and meticulous.
The Daoist robe elder was called Qingfeng.
The red-armored brawny man was called Flame General.
Upon hearing Xu Zimei’s words, sensing his gaze falling on them.
They instantly understood, encountering a strong opponent.
At least to see through this void, his power and insight were not inferior.
Qingfeng frowned slightly.
Looked toward Flame General.
Asked: “What do you think?”
“Should we really let him in?”
“No,” Flame General sneered.
He said: “Netherworld Realm has always been a place for the dead, mere words don’t grant entry.”
“That would be our dereliction, the Domain Master would question us, if something goes wrong, we can’t bear it.”
“In that case, why not test him,” Qingfeng nodded.
He was quite in agreement with his words.
Said: “If he’s truly strong, he can enter by his own merits.”
Meanwhile outside.
Xu Zimei realized his words didn’t stir Blade Mountain Fiery Sea.
The fire sea in space grew hotter.
Blade Qi in the firmament became sharper.
This made him understand, the opponent obviously wanted to confront.
“Why bother? I hadn’t planned to act,” Xu Zimei shook his head slightly.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll fight my way in, just hope Dead Spirits Taoist Friend won’t blame me.”
Meanwhile, someone outside heard Xu Zimei’s words.
Heard him muttering as if speaking to the gate keepers trying to enter.
Couldn’t resist mocking: “Really, there’s everyone, if words could grant entry, wouldn’t all these people have died for nothing.”
“Fantasy talk, utterly ridiculous.”
