Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Chapter 508: Ch 508 -This evil spawn must not be allowed to live!

In the game, the final battle of the Liuli Illusion Realm was basically carried by Ruoning.

At that time, Ye Huai hadn’t come to the Liuli Illusion Realm, Xumo wasn’t dead yet, Yuebai was still a master hidden in a ring, and the Crimson Prince was an accomplice who helped the Liuli Palace Master kill Xumo.

Later, when the two sides went to war, Xumo and Ruoning were initially beaten back, and the battle was fierce.

At the critical moment, the Phantom Butterfly stepped forward. She sacrificed the last remnant of her soul in exchange for Ruoning awakening the Innate Liuli Body. After that, Ruoning, carrying everyone’s hopes, unleashed unparalleled combat power and killed both the Crimson Prince and the Liuli Palace Master.

However… For the reincarnated Yino, the battle didn’t need to have so many twists and turns.

After receiving the protection of Ruoning and the Phantom Butterfly, his cultivation and combat power had skyrocketed directly to the Remnant Immortal stage.

The so-called Remnant Immortal stage is the Immortal Dao system that mortals truly step into after passing the Tribulation Crossing stage.

But this was the Liuli Illusion Realm. As long as the stats were high enough, real-world logic didn’t matter.

In contrast, the Liuli Palace Master, Jing Chen, was only at the Great Vehicle stage even at his peak in the Liuli Divine Palace. This was a whole two realm apart from the Remnant Immortal stage.

“Sister Dia said that the Palace Master isn’t bad by nature, he just lost his way and was devoured by his inner demon. She hopes we can show mercy to Jing Chen…”

With the great battle imminent, Ruoning leaned close to Yino and whispered.

Although she had already signed a spirit contract with Yino, their current strength was far beyond what was needed to fight Jing Chen. Therefore, Ruoning still decided to personally team up with Yino for a quick tag-team fight.

“Understood.”

Yino didn’t look back, just stared at the dark shadow possessed by the demon armor.

This demon armor and black sword were actually Jing Chen’s phase-two appearance from the game, which he transformed into after his health was low. In phase one, you could still vaguely see his human form and the handsome face of the former chief senior brother of the Liuli Sect. But in phase two, Jing Chen was completely corrupted and no longer looked human.

Looking at it now…

He probably knew he couldn’t beat Yino, so he decided to go all-out from the start and stop holding back.

“Hehehe, the young are truly to be feared!”

“To think that one day, in my own Liuli Illusion Realm, I would hear my own woman beg a junior to show me mercy!” The shadow under the demon armor laughed, a note of release in his voice.

Meeting Yino’s gaze, the demon armor flicked the black longsword in its hand.

Kaka-kaka!!!!

In the next second, the long black sword twisted and shifted in the demon armor’s grip, transforming into thousands of Liuli curved blades.

These curved blades danced in the air, flying out from the right side of the throne to circle Yino and the others, before finally being caught by the shadow’s left hand.

The void shattered.

Yino looked around, only now realizing that Jing Chen had used that single sword move to lock down the entire battle area within the Liuli Divine Palace.

This was identical to the cutscene in the game.

Once you entered the boss room, your escape route was sealed.

Now, reincarnated and present on the battlefield, Jing Chen was just using a more realistic method to make Yino feel the oppressive pressure of facing a boss.

“You are, after all, the man who killed Wen Ruxiu.”

“If I can defeat you today, wouldn’t that be, in a way, resolving my inner demon?!”

At this, the demon armor on the high platform slightly compressed its stance.

Even if it was just a hair’s breadth of movement, Yino could feel the demonic energy in its legs rapidly accumulating.

In the next second, Jing Chen leaped into the air, brandishing the long, bladed whip.

Yino looked up and saw Jing Chen repeatedly slashing the long blade in mid-air. The sword body, formed from thousands of Liuli blades, turned into a torrential rain of countless arrows.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

At the critical moment, Ruoning transformed into the phantom butterfly, her ethereal wings blocking the arrow rain for Yino.

Freed from needing to defend, Yino could now fully concentrate on Jing Chen in mid-air.

Illusion Technique: Like a Shadow!

As the two fox totems on his hand glowed, Yino’s own body remained in place, but Jing Chen, swinging his blade in mid-air, suddenly felt a suffocating pressure. “Is it the charm technique from your two fox demons..?”

Seeing the killing intent manifest as a silent shadow approaching him, Jing Chen’s forehead was already beaded with cold sweat, but the pair of demon eyes under the armor remained unshaken.

He suddenly pushed off, retreating, while simultaneously raising his hand to recall the flying blades.

Kaka-kaka.

The thousands of Liuli blades reassembled according to Jing Chen’s will, forming two thorny arm-blades around the demon armor’s left and right arms.

Fwsh!

The demon armor swung its arm-blades forward, meeting Yino’s demon blade head-on.

BOOM!!!!

A moment later, Yino’s figure created a sonic boom in the air as he was sent flying by the demon armor’s elbow strike.

“This feeling… it’s wrong…”

However, Jing Chen didn’t celebrate, because his attack just now felt like punching cotton.

In the next second, alarm bells blared in Jing Chen’s mind again.

In his peripheral vision, he saw that the ceiling of the Liuli Divine Palace was reflecting the changes in the blind spot behind him.

“Wha-?!”

Yino’s real body emerged from the void. What shocked Jing Chen even more was that the concealment illusion, cast by the red fox totem on Yino’s arm, actually had the same space-distorting effect as his Liuli Art.

A fox demon with an innate charming Physique… her talent for illusions is in no way inferior to Dia’s back then…

Jing Chen thought to himself.

Thanks to the reflective ceiling, Jing Chen still managed to turn in time, raising his arms to block Yino’s backstab.

The good news was, the scene Jing Chen had imagined happened.

The bad news was, the one sent flying like a sonic boom wasn’t Yino, but himself.

“!”

High above in the palace.

Before Jing Chen could react, a set of black wings had already materialized behind Yino.

In the next second, Jing Chen’s vision went black as he was sent flying backward, crashing headlong into one of the main support pillars of the Liuli Divine Palace.

BOOM!!!!

The colossal impact actually shook the very foundations of the entire Liuli Divine Palace.

Plop!

Jing Chen landed in the center of a spider-webbed crater.

He pushed himself up, trying to raise his hand again to summon the thousands of Liuli blades, but this time, his outstretched right arm was pinned to the wall by several purple-gold swords.

“It ends here!”

A girl’s clear, cold shout echoed through the divine palace.

Jing Chen propped himself up and looked, only to see the green-robed girl, radiating the aura of the phantom butterfly, standing majestically before him.

Besides the three swords pinning his right arm, six more purple-gold Liuli swords circled around her.

“You are not our match!”

“Surrender obediently, break this Illusion Realm, and come back to the Liuli Sect with us. Perhaps everyone at the Liuli Sect will forgive you!”

“My Master said she misses the Senior Brother of the past. She said that one day, our Sect Master will come back…”

Ruoning spoke earnestly, one word at a time.

But as her voice fell, the dark shadow under the demon armor just let out a self-deprecating laugh.

He tried to lift his left arm while no one was looking, but it was immediately pinned to the palace wall by the remaining six swords.

Three swords pierced his left arm, while the other three landed with hair’s-breadth precision on either side of Jing Chen’s face and just above his head. Now, with both arms sealed, Jing Chen had completely lost his ability to move.

“It’s come to this, why are you still so stubborn! I promised Sister Dia I would spare your life, I don’t want to kill you! If you really don’t want to come home, at least break open the Illusion Realm and let us go back!” Ruoning was still trying to persuade him.

It wasn’t that she was soft-hearted toward enemies, but she had promised Dia that she would liberate this realm. Dia had been the one helping her and Yino pass safely through this whole journey.

Now…

Dia’s beloved was right in front of her. How could Ruoning bear to cut him down in front of Dia?

Ruoning already knew the story of Jing Chen and Dia.

They had already been torn apart once…

Did this second time really have to be at Ruoning’s hands?
