I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2288
Chapter 2288: Chapter 2287: Who Will Sharpen My Blade?
“Treasure, treasure, hurry and grab it!”
“The chance to change your destiny is right in front of you. Anyone who dares to snatch it from me, my blade won’t spare them.”
In that moment, countless people rose into the air.
The entire firmament was in chaos, with pieces of flesh and a rain of blood, broken limbs falling from the void.
Originally, some people were eager to try, but seeing such a brutal scene, each of them was stunned.
Including Liu Ruyan.
She also wanted to try and see if she could snatch the treasure, but the scene before her was too bloody.
So much so that she decided to give up herself.
“What is the greatest treasure you mentioned?” Liu Ruyan looked at Xu Zimei and asked.
“Just wait and see,” Xu Zimei replied.
That was a long, long story.
So long that almost everyone who knew the story back then was dead.
And it was only because of Xu Zimei’s special identity that he knew about these things.
Watching those in the firmament fighting for the treasure.
Xu Zimei smiled.
And said, “Look at these people risking their lives to seize something meaningless.”
“This is life!”
“To me, these things are within easy reach, but to others, they are only a luxury.”
Xu Zimei stretched out his hand, and in an instant, the entire void froze.
Those who were originally snatching treasures showed fear or ferocity.
In short, everyone was frozen no matter their expression, demeanor, or posture.
With just a wave of his hand, he could decide the life and death of hundreds of people.
Xu Zimei waved again.
The four beams of light spat out from the mouths of the Holy Beasts instantly returned to Xu Zimei’s hand.
This is what it means to be within easy reach.
In the next moment, the previously stopped space-time returned to normal.
Everyone in battle turned their eyes towards Xu Zimei.
Although everyone was furious.
No one dared to be the first to draw their sword against Xu Zimei.
Because the power Xu Zimei just displayed was enough to intimidate everyone.
But human nature is greedy.
In the face of wealth, even if Xu Zimei is strong, some people are unwilling to give up.
“Fellow Daoist, it’s a bit overbearing to occupy all four treasures by yourself.”
Someone stood up and couldn’t help but say.
This was the One-Eyed Dragon, dressed in blood-red armor and holding a large machete.
With a scruffy beard and a fierce gaze.
He looked like a formidable character.
“It’s the Mass Slaughter,” someone exclaimed upon seeing the One-Eyed Dragon.
This person still had some influence in Demon City.
It’s said that in a previous battle, he killed his way in and out seven times among ten thousand people, finally beheading the boss of a major force.
Hence, he earned the nickname Mass Slaughter.
He’s truly a bloodthirsty and fearless man.
“So what if it’s overbearing?” Xu Zimei said calmly.
“What’s the point of talking about righteousness with some ants?”
“I am tyranny!”
“Everyone, don’t be afraid. Even if he’s powerful, with so many of us, are we really afraid of him?”
Someone tried to incite the crowd.
Trying to arouse public anger and provoke everyone to rebel.
“That’s right, if each of us strikes once, no matter how strong he is, he can’t possibly kill us all.”
“This is Demon City, the territory of the three major forces. How dare this unfamiliar face act so presumptuously?”
As more and more people began to agree.
Xu Zimei remained calm from the beginning to the end.
Even though Liu Ruyan was too scared to speak beside him, Xu Zimei had no reaction at all.
He drew the Tyrant Shadow from his back.
The unsheathing sound was sharp, like the cry of an eagle.
The clang echoed powerfully in everyone’s ears.
Some couldn’t help but stiffen their necks, feeling the cold.
Others involuntarily closed their eyes, unable to look directly at the blade.
While Xu Zimei gently wiped the blade.
He smiled and said, “Everyone, why all the shouting? Who will test my blade?”
“This blade hasn’t been unsheathed for some time.”
“It seems the edge has dulled; please help me sharpen it.”
Hearing this, seeing Xu Zimei’s calm demeanor, and looking at the sharp blade intent in his hand.
Many fell silent.
They hesitated.
Some even thought of retreating.
“What, are you all afraid?”
Xu Zimei laughed.
“I just saw everyone fighting for the treasure, unafraid of life and death, so why fear me now?”
The crowd fell silent again.
At this moment, suddenly a group of people wearing blood-red robes came running quickly.
There were dozens of them, and they quickly surrounded the area near Treasure Cliff.
“It’s the Blood River Valley.”
“Who provoked the Blood River Valley?”
“With so many Blood River Guards, the incoming person’s identity is surely extraordinary!”
The crowd was abuzz with conversation.
Treasure Cliff was originally on the middle route of Blood River, so everyone was familiar with people from Blood River Valley.
Moreover, the crowd was not afraid of the Blood River Valley people snatching the treasure.
After all, Treasure Cliff was opened at the decision of Blood River Valley themselves; they could have monopolized it.
This shows the generosity of Blood River Valley.
……
At this moment, under the escort of Blood River Guards, a woman in a red robe, with a dress blooming like a rose, walked in.
“It’s the Moon-picking Fairy,” someone immediately recognized.
Some were puzzled and asked, “Who is the Moon-picking Fairy? I’m new here, still learning the ropes, hoping for some enlightenment.”
“The Great Elder of Blood River Valley, Dugu Yun’s concubine, said to be the most favored concubine, currently in the spotlight.”
Someone explained quietly.
As the Great Elder of Blood River Valley, Dugu Yun’s prestige was not simple.
It’s said he alone mastered the blood sacrifice lineage, capable of commanding the Blood River Guards, second only to the Valley Master in status.
And he is highly respected, with many disciples and direct lineage within Blood River Valley, his influence spread throughout Demon City.
Dugu Yun’s only flaw, which people talk about with keen interest, is his fondness for beauty.
And it’s not just ordinary fondness.
As long as a woman is beautiful, he would find a way to obtain her.
Though the novelty quickly wanes, he is genuinely good to his women.
The Moon-picking Fairy has caught Dugu Yun’s attention. Originally a nameless person in Demon City.
But riding on Dugu Yun’s prestige, now few dare to provoke her.
“Sister Liu, look who I’ve found.”
Beside the Moon-picking Fairy, a tiger-headed youth said with a smile.
This Moon-picking Fairy, though not a peerless beauty, was well-maintained with a womanly charm, enchanting to the heart.
Few men would remain unmoved at the sight of her.
“Moon-picking Ancestor,” Liu Ruyan quickly called out.
“You’re here, why didn’t you look for me,” said the Moon-picking Fairy.
It was she who previously sent the message for Liu Ruyan to come to Demon City.
But the two had little contact.
After Liu Ruyan arrived, she couldn’t find the Moon-picking Fairy.
