Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan!

Chapter 374 Déjà Vu, Grade-10 Demonic Beastʼs Turn

The war between the Desolate Heaven Empire and the Demonic Beasts waged on.

For a moment, it looked like a stalemate all over again.

But of course, with Bai Zihan mowing down the Grade-9 Demonic Beasts, it was slightly in favor of the humans.

However, that wasnʼt the main fight. It was between Grade-10 Demonic Beasts and Great Ascension Realm cultivators.

The ones who came out on top would most likely dictate the flow of the battle. But taking down Grade-10 Demonic Beasts wasnʼt easy, which could also be said about the Great Ascension Realm cultivators.

Unless one let down their guard or the opponent used a super-powerful attack, a fight between such powerhouses would last hours or even days if they choose to do so.

The reason was their immense reserve of Qi, and secondly, they didnʼt fight with full power.

They waited for the perfect opportunity.

Otherwise, if they kept using full power, they would run out of Qi before their opponent and that would be disastrous.

This could be said about others too. Everyone knew they had to maintain their Qi reserve to sustain themselves for who knows how long.

However, one person didnʼt seem bothered by that at all. ”Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword!” ”Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword!”

Bai Zihan had been using a Heaven-Grade technique in quick succession many times in a row.

What was left wasnʼt an exhausted Bai Zihan but rather a pile of bodies.

Demonic Beasts had also tried to ambush Bai Zihan in groups, but he was too slippery-escaping their ambush and killing them one by one when they were confused.

Bai Zihan seemed especially happy when those Demonic Beasts came in groups instead of feeling scared.

Wei Zongyuan overlooked the situation and felt that it was slowly turning in their favor. ”I didnʼt know the Bai Clanʼs heir was this powerful!”

He muttered.

Well, he was cooped up at the Northern Defense Line and had only heard a few rumors, so he wasnʼt too aware.

Unlike others who envied or feared such talent, Commander Wei felt relieved.

If such talent was cultivated, then why would they fear Beast Tides in the future?

Not only Bai Zihan-there were many young people leading the charge against the Demonic Beasts.

Bai Xueqing cooperated well with her group, freezing large numbers of Demonic Beasts with her Glacial Heaven Seal-Absolute Frost Domain Technique, while the other group members killed the frozen targets.

They even managed to kill a Grade-8 Demonic Beast together, though it was mostly Bai Xueqing who did the job.

Then there were those from the Zhao Clan, especially Zhao Chen, who fought from behind using long-range attacks and formations when facing large numbers of Demonic Beasts.

There was Li Meiying from the Li Clan, who easily tore apart Grade-6 Demonic Beasts and even defeated quite a few Grade-7 ones.

However, no matter who, no one held a candle to Bai Zihan, who was casually tearing through Grade-9 Demonic Beasts. ”Just how many Demonic Beasts does he plan on killing?”

Commander Wei shook his head after losing count past thirty. Still, there was no sign of Bai Zihan stopping or even exhausting himself-only growing more excited. ”Even Iʼm starting to pity those Demonic Beasts...”

One of the officers accidentally muttered.

However, everyone watching the scene unfold felt the same. The Demonic Beasts couldnʼt put up any resistance as Bai Zihan massacred them.

Bai Zihan alone had slain more Demonic Beasts in a single battle than many veterans who had spent their entire lives guarding the Northern Defense Line. ”Donʼt let your guard down yet! Have all units remain at their best and locate the Demonic Cultivators as soon as they appear!”

Commander Wei ordered. ”Yes, sir!”

The officers saluted. *** ”Five thousand points!”

Hours went by, but Bai Zihan was focused only on the points he gained.

Although drenched in blood and reeking of iron, he didnʼt care. His goal now was to reach ten thousand points.

But it wasnʼt like he was ignoring everything except killing the Grade-9

Demonic Beasts.

He glanced at how his clan was doing-and they were doing great, especially

Bai Xueqing.

She seemed to have already broken through, and her Qi was even more profound, containing Powerful Ice Qi that might even freeze a Void Refinement cultivator for a few seconds.

She might even be able to defeat a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator.

Bai Zihan even thought that perhaps Lu Xiangyuan would have been defeated by her if not for him.

The Heaven-Grade cultivation technique he gave her seemed to be working better than he hoped.

Chu Ziyan was also faring better than expected.

So, there was no need to worry much about them-although subconsciously, he was killing powerful Demonic Beasts that were heading toward them.

SLASH!

Bai Zihan leapt onto another Demonic Beastʼs skull, driving his sword straight through its brow. ”Five thousand two hundred points.”

The number echoed in his mind with far more importance than the beastʼs dying scream.

Blood mist showered around him as he spun, blade flashing like rippling moonlight.

Every time the Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword descended, another Grade-9 beast collapsed-cleanly bisected, mutilated, or simply erased from existence.

He didnʼt slow down. If anything, he became faster.

More reckless.

More excited.

To others, this battlefield was a hellish war.

To Bai Zihan, it was a hunting ground dressed in red.

BOOM!

A thunderous crash sliced through the battlefield.

High above, Azure Sun Holy Sectʼs Sect Master-Yun Huanfeng, famed for his blazing sun-like Qi-staggered backward, blood spraying from his lips. The Grade-10 Demonic Beast he had been holding at bay roared triumphantly, its massive form breaking free from the clash.

And it turned.

Not toward another Great Ascension expert.

Not toward any other powerful Void Refinement group.

It charged straight toward Bai Zihan. ”Grade-10 Demonic Beast is heading toward Bai Zihan!” ”Damn! Bai Zihan should run away! This isnʼt a Grade-9 like earlier!” ”Why is he not moving? Donʼt tell me he plans on facing it?” ”Did he get too overconfident from killing all those Grade-9 beasts?”

Many were stunned and worried.

More importantly, Bai Zihan wasnʼt even moving. Knowing him, they knew it wasnʼt due to fear.

If he feared, he wouldnʼt have killed over fifty Grade-9 Demonic Beasts.

Bai Zihan let out a cold laugh.

A very familiar scene.

Last time, it was the Zhao Clanʼs elder ”accidentally” letting go of a Grade-9 beast toward him.

This time, the Azure Sun Holy Sectʼs esteemed leader.

A coincidence?

An honest mistake?

He didnʼt believe that for a single breath.

Although Yun Huanfengʼs performance was better than the Zhao elderʼs, and there was also public knowledge that the Bai Clan and Azure Sun Holy Sect had no enmity...

So it could be seen as an honest mistake.

However, Bai Zihan knew that with Jin Yuanzhan in his hand, they feared their dark secret would be exposed.

Hence why Yun Huanfeng might have gone so far as to get seriously injured just to kill him through the Grade-10 beast.

Although Yun Huanfeng had put on a convincing show of being ”gravely injured,” Bai Zihan still sneered inwardly.

He was convinced this was his scheme to kill him with borrowed knife.

But then- ”Ahhh! Sect Leader Yun is dying!” ”No! Someone help the Sect Leader!” ”His Qi is collapsing! Heʼs really dying!”

Bai Zihanʼs expression twitched. ”... What?”

He looked up again-and even he was caught off guard.

Yun Huanfeng wasnʼt performing.

He was actually in a miserable state-his robes shredded, half his arm hanging uselessly, spiritual veins visibly ruptured under his skin.

His complexion was pale as paper, and his eyes unfocused. One of his Elders dragged him away in a panic, shouting for healers. ”Senior Brother! Senior Brother, stay with me!”

More Elders rushed in, forming a protective barrier.

The Sect Leaderʼs head lolled to the side.

He coughed up blood.

A lot of blood.

Bai Zihan blinked once. ”...Huh.” (So... that idiot really was dying?)

He thought it was a ploy like the Zhao Clanʼs elder, but looking at Yun Huanfeng -who was practically stepping into reincarnation-he began to doubt his earlier thought.

If this was an aciting then Bai Zihan must commend Azure Sun Holy Sect and recommend them to turn to acting instead of Cultivation. The battlefield fell into chaos. ”The Sect Leader of Azure Sun Holy Sect has been gravely injured!” ”Quick! Protect him!”

Meanwhile, the Grade-10 Demonic Beast-who logically should have finished off Yun Huanfeng-did not.

Instead, it lowered its massive head and charged even faster-

Straight At Bai Zihan!

Bai Zihan sighed.

He didnʼt know whether it was deliberate or really an accident, but either way, it seemed this Demonic Beast held a grudge against him.

Well, he wasnʼt one to talk-with piles of corpses under his feet.

Just looking how many Demonic Beasts he killed, one might even think that his parents had been killed by Demonic Beasts. ”Do you want to take revenge for your family? Then come and see whether you are worthy!”
