I Really Am A Villain

“Stop. Stop right now, or I won’t be polite!” the child shouted coldly.

Xu Zimo continued walking forward without hesitation.

At a certain moment, he suddenly exploded into motion. Terrifying power roared forth as he appeared directly in front of the child.

The child roared, unleashing endless corpse mist slashes, but none of it mattered.

This was not the Three Corpse Cave. If Xu Zimo killed him here, there would be no chance of revival.

That was the price of freedom.

Once they left the Three Corpse Cave, without an endless supply of corpse mist, even the Three Selves could die.

Boom.

Xu Zimo’s overwhelming power crashed down, sending the child flying.

Xu Zimo followed instantly, grabbing him by the collar again and smashing him with hundreds of punches.

His punching speed was terrifying, nearly a hundred punches per second.

The child was completely beaten senseless and hurriedly shouted, “Don’t kill me. I know where the Lower Corpse is. Don’t you want to revive your friend?”

“Go on,” Xu Zimo stopped and asked.

“Let me go, and I’ll tell you,” the child said.

“You’re not qualified to negotiate with me,” Xu Zimo replied coldly.

“Then you’ll never find the Lower Corpse,” the child threatened.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Xu Zimo tore him in half with brute force.

“You’re threatening me?”

Corpse mist surged as blood and flesh flew everywhere.

“Even if you don’t say anything, I can still find the Lower Corpse. It’s only a matter of time.”

After beating the child into utter ruin, Xu Zimo brought Lin Ruhu out.

He tore the child apart completely, captured the Middle Corpse Mist from within him, and slowly fused it into Lin Ruhu’s body.

Amid the child’s furious screams, the Middle Corpse Mist was fully absorbed.

Lin Ruhu’s complexion became rosy, and he looked much better, though he still had not fully awakened.

Even in death, the child never revealed the whereabouts of the Lower Corpse.

Both of them understood why.

Xu Zimo would never spare him. The child was doomed to die.

Naturally, he was unwilling to reveal anything.

Besides, he might not even know where the Lower Corpse was.

After all, once the Lower Corpse left the Three Corpse Cave and blended into the Nine Heavens, it would never want to be found again and sealed by the corpse bones.

That was unsolvable.

After the child’s death, the entire Three Corpse City was shaken.

The appearance of such a powerful figure naturally drew countless eyes.

At this time, Ouyang Xiu and Ji Zhan also arrived.

“My lord, are you alright?” Ji Zhan asked.

Xu Zimo shook his head.

“What about my master?” Ji Zhan asked again.

“His situation is complicated. It can’t be resolved for now,” Xu Zimo replied, shaking his head.

“Do either of you know where the main base of the Eighteen Blade Purgatory is?”

“It’s beneath Divine Mountain. I know,” Ouyang Xiu answered quickly.

“The Divine Court resides in the heavens. It’s said that to reach the Divine Court, one must pass through Divine Mountain. The Eighteen Blade Purgatory, as the Divine Court’s subordinates, naturally guard Divine Mountain.”

“Interesting. But from today onward, there probably won’t be an Eighteen Blade Purgatory anymore,” Xu Zimo said.

“Boss, the Eighteen Blade Purgatory should still have a Three Blossoms cultivator. Even though you’ve killed six of their Dao Lords already, I estimate they still have at least twelve more Infinite Dao cultivators,” Ouyang Xiu warned.

“Shouldn’t we consider things carefully before going?”

Xu Zimo was indeed no match for a Three Blossoms cultivator at the moment, but that did not stop him from destroying the Eighteen Blade Purgatory.

“You think I don’t have backing?” Xu Zimo said calmly.

He had already sent a request for aid to the True Martial Sacred Ground.

At present, the only True Martial cultivator who had split into Three Selves was the True Martial Progenitor.

But there were still several Three Blossoms cultivators.

As long as someone helped Xu Zimo restrain the Three Blossoms cultivator of the Eighteen Blade Purgatory, the rest would not be a problem.

Xu Zimo could take his time killing them.

Seeing Xu Zimo so confident, Ouyang Xiu said nothing more.

There was a teleportation formation leading from Three Corpse City to Divine Mountain.

In the past, this formation had been controlled by the Middle Corpse Palace. Even with money, people were not allowed to use it unless they were special.

The three of them arrived before the teleportation formation.

Unlike ordinary arrays, this one was shrouded in heavy corpse mist. Ordinary people would not even survive standing here, let alone teleport.

That was because the array was powered not by spirit stones, but by corpse mist.

Ouyang Xiu and Ji Zhan could not endure the array at all. Xu Zimo wrapped them both in his own power.

With a wave of his hand, corpse mist surged. As it swallowed the three of them, the formation activated.

This teleportation was quite unusual.

Before the transfer, a massive circular disk appeared in the void before them.

One could rotate the disk by hand.

Engraved upon it were the eight trigrams.

“Divine Mountain is in the northwest,” Ouyang Xiu reminded him.

Xu Zimo nodded.

When he rotated the disk, dozens of coordinates appeared.

“Black Bear City, Heavenly Haze Valley, Forged Iron Manor…”

These were all destinations that could be teleported to.

Xu Zimo selected the Iron-Eating Beast Race.

There were no teleportation formations within Divine Mountain itself, only nearby ones. The Iron-Eating Beast Race was the closest, less than a million miles away.

It would take a month to reach via teleportation.

Thus, Xu Zimo chose that destination.

Once the three entered, the teleportation passage was pitch black.

Boom, boom, boom.

Rumbling echoed in their ears as the passage shook. Clearly, this teleportation formation was unstable.

Xu Zimo knew the transfer would not finish quickly.

He sat down cross-legged and began cultivating.

He had been in the Infinite Dao realm for some time now. After experiencing such a fierce battle, he had gained some insights into the Three Blossoms stage.

So he decided to use this time in transit to enter seclusion.

He wanted to see if he could open a flower in advance.

The Three Blossoms were the Worldly Blossom, the Terrestrial Blossom, and the Celestial Blossom.

They corresponded to essence, energy, and spirit.

The first flower Xu Zimo chose to open was naturally the Worldly Blossom.

Refining essence into energy, letting energy surge into the profound void, and opening the first flower.

Once Xu Zimo entered this state of insight, he completely sealed himself off, losing all sense of time.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

During this month, Xu Zimo’s aura grew stronger and stronger, like misty vapor enveloping him.

Something was being nurtured within that mist.

This was the seed of the Three Blossoms.

Through sustained effort, Xu Zimo finally nurtured the seed of the Worldly Blossom. What remained was for it to grow and bloom.

On this day, Xu Zimo ended his cultivation and slowly opened his eyes.

“Still lacking something,” he said, frowning.

To nurture the Worldly Blossom seed to full bloom was not so simple. It seemed to require something else as assistance.

Xu Zimo’s understanding of the Three Blossoms realm was limited to begin with.

“It looks like I’ll have to ask someone,” he muttered to himself.

“Boss, we’re almost there,” Ouyang Xiu said respectfully as he walked over.

At this point, Ouyang Xiu’s admiration for Xu Zimo was absolute.
