I Really Am A Villain

Xu Zimo moved swiftly, passing through countless caverns and tunnels.

Although the starlight had been cut off, he had already memorized the location.

A few flashes, and the lurking shadows along the way couldn’t even brush the hem of his robe.

The further he went, the wider the tunnels became, and the more Lich lay in hiding.

Finally, when he reached the place where the starlight had flickered earlier, he was surprised to find Bai Tihe standing there, waiting for him.

“You’re here,” Bai Tihe said with a smile. “I knew you’d find me.”

“What do you want?” Xu Zimo asked calmly.

“Will you sell me that Infernal Heart of yours?” Bai Tihe asked again.

“Repeating yourself makes it boring,” Xu Zimo replied.

“You want to enter the true Particle World, I can take you there,” Bai Tihe said. “Otherwise, relying on your own strength, you’ll never get out of here in your lifetime. That’s my offer.”

“Is that a threat?” Xu Zimo raised his head slightly.

“Not really. Just stating a fact,” Bai Tihe shook his head.

Xu Zimo lifted his hand, vast spiritual energy surging.

With a boom, the void shattered, collapsing a swath of tunnels as he reached for Bai Tihe.

Stepping forward, his aura bore down like a storm.

Bai Tihe retreated rapidly.

“If you’re unwilling, then break through this labyrinth on your own.”

Xu Zimo followed closely, smiling.

“No need to make it so troublesome. I just have to follow you.”

Bai Tihe’s eyes narrowed.

His steps flickered like a ghost’s through the maze. Under his feet, white clouds rippled like waves, drifting and shifting.

But no matter how he tried to escape, he couldn’t shake Xu Zimo.

The two chased and evaded each other through the labyrinth for over ten minutes, until Bai Tihe finally stopped in resignation.

“So, you’re determined to stick with me.”

“The road is open. I can walk it however I please,” Xu Zimo replied.

Bai Tihe frowned.

“In that case, it seems I can’t avoid this.”

His aura surged like a tidal wave, overwhelming and vast.

“You’re not my match,” Xu Zimo said.

“You can’t know without fighting,” Bai Tihe snorted.

He lunged forward, striking with his palm.

Xu Zimo stepped back half a step, clenched his fist, and met the blow head-on.

Neither of them used full strength, it was more of a probing exchange. The terrain itself made full battle impractical.

With a thunderous boom, the impact shook the tunnels, collapsing countless passages, nearly burying them both.

This was the strength of the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Interwoven Formation: seemingly fragile, yet endless, impossible to destroy by brute force.

Xu Zimo stood firm, unmoved, while Bai Tihe was knocked backward.

“Do you want to continue?” Xu Zimo asked.

“Let’s cooperate instead,” Bai Tihe proposed. Updates are released by N0velFire.ɴet

“You wanted that from the start, didn’t you?” Xu Zimo said.

This formation was too special, breaking it alone was nearly impossible.

And earlier, when Xu Zimo had found him, Bai Tihe could have cut off the starlight and left.
