Chosen One, how did I end up as the villain?

"Bang, bang"

The golden and silver light shimmered among the tree-like figures, and muffled thuds could be heard from time to time. The corpses on the ground piled up more and more, forming a small mountain.

The broken branches were still twitching wildly, occasionally curling up as if trying to restrain a person.

Qin Huaiyu suffered the consequences; he was caught off guard and received two sharp slaps on the back. The sensation was indescribably painful, and it still stings even now.

Damn it, this is never going to end!

He was truly enraged. Since becoming a strategist, he had experienced several battles, but he had never been as disheveled as he was today.

Being ganged up on by a group of corpses and ending up with bruises all over is an utter disgrace.

"Since you want to die again, I'll grant your wish."

As he spoke, his aura surged, his black hair moved without wind, and his long robe fluttered, making him look like a proud warrior.

next moment

Qin Huaiyu suddenly changed his moves, throwing out both fists at once and beginning his attack on the tree man.

The tree-men seemed to sense something and rushed forward in a swarm.

The two forces collided, and a series of booming sounds echoed in mid-air, causing the space to tremble. Corpses fell to the ground one after another like raindrops.

Qin Huaiyu's movements were wide and powerful, his punches and kicks sounding like thunder and lightning.

He leaped up and landed, his immense power cracking the ground. At that moment, he resembled a god of death, radiating a powerful killing intent.

Shen Wan'er shook her head and smiled, feeling a sense of wonder even though she had seen him several times.

There are different kinds of people!

However, I was genuinely happy inside, since everyone has a tendency to admire the strong.

The little girl behind her saw this scene, and a strange light flashed in her eyes, but it only lasted for a moment before she returned to her frightened and timid appearance.

quickly

Under Qin Huaiyu's rage, the tree man was finally dealt with, but he wasn't much better off; his body was covered in black and red blood, making it impossible to tell whether it was the tree man's blood or his own.

"Are you alright?" Shen Wan'er asked worriedly as she attacked the branches.

"fine!"

Qin Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the tree-men scattered all over the ground.

Without the interference of the tree people, dealing with this "tree" would be much easier.

"Whoosh, whoosh"

Two more branches sprouted.

The wind howled fiercely, seemingly distorting space itself, demonstrating the immense power of these branches. If they were to strike an ordinary person, they would likely die instantly.

Qin Huaiyu stood still, the wind howling in his ears. Just as the branches were about to strike him, he suddenly reached out and grabbed them.

He then exerted force with both hands.

A "crack" followed by a "bang".

Two branches, along with thick trunks, broke off from the tree and crashed to the ground.

Shen Huainian released his grip, a cold smile creeping onto his lips.

"You still have the guts? Then I'll strip you bare and uproot you today!"

"Huaiyu, watch out behind you!"

Qin Huaiyu was startled by what he heard, but before he could turn around, a branch as thick as an arm had already bound him and was squeezing and dragging him backward like a snake.

"hiss"

Qin Huaiyu felt a sharp pain and lost his footing, being dragged to the ground. His veins bulged as he quickly used all his strength to break free.

Unsurprisingly, the branch shattered instantly under the immense force.

Qin Huaiyu looked up and was facing the withered tree trunk. He was about to stand up when his eyes fell on a crack that was constantly writhing.

It was opening rapidly, revealing its sharp, fang-like teeth, arranged in three dense, overlapping layers.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

Qin Huaiyu was extremely surprised and suspicious.

Just then, the tree roots and branches suddenly attacked.

"not good!"

But it was too late; the branches had already bound him and were dragging him rapidly toward the giant mouth.

Qin Huaiyu was in a panic and tried to fight back, but this time there were too many branches and he couldn't break free for a while.

"Huaiyu!"

Shen Wan'er shouted and hurriedly dodged the tangled branches, pulling her maid along as they quickly chased after them.

As if sensing something, the giant mouth opened even wider, revealing its dark interior.

Qin Huaiyu looked closely, and finally made up his mind to give up the struggle.

"You wanted to eat me? I'll let you eat your fill!"

"Swimming Dragon!"

Following the momentum of being dragged along, he took a series of powerful steps, and in an instant, his figure began to become ethereal. Then, like a golden bolt of lightning, he rushed into the giant mouth.

"don't want!"

Upon seeing this, Shen Wan'er hurriedly shouted and tried her best to catch up, but she was still a step too late.

The giant mouth quickly closed, returning to its original crack.

"Open it for me, open it!"

With red eyes and a burst of silver light around her, Shen Wan'er struck the crack with all her might.

Layers of wrinkled bark fell off, and even the tree trunk began to ooze black sap, yet the cracks showed no sign of opening.

Perhaps sensing the pain, countless branches shot towards Shen Wan'er like arrows released from a bow.

"Huaiyu, hang in there, hang in there!"

At that moment, she no longer cared about herself and only focused on opening that gap.

"Sister, sister!"

The little girl looked terrified, her little hands clutching Shen Wan'er tightly.

But the other party remained unmoved.

The little girl watched as the branch rapidly enlarged, about to pierce through the two of them.

At the critical moment

A dazzling golden light emanated from the crack, its halo breaking through the darkness, as if divinely dispelling the gloom and rendering the place incomparably bright.
