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

"Eyes that see through illusions!"

Kong Zhi narrowed his eyes, a glint of shrewdness in them. "And this powerful physique... it seems that Benefactor Qin's body is hiding an extraordinary secret!"

You old bastard, you're lusting after my body!

Qin Huaiyu felt a chill run down his spine. "Old man, look away! It's disgusting!"

"Oh!"

Kong Zhi sneered:

"Since I am a Buddhist, I will give Benefactor Qin a chance. How about we make a deal? Let me examine your body, and I will let the three of you leave!"

Hmm, this old dog is acting strange. Wasn't he trying to kill us just now?

Qin Huaiyu was suspicious, but didn't want to think too much about it. Given the other party's style of doing things, who knew what kind of conspiracy they might be plotting?

"How arrogant! I'm only here to take your dog's life. Once I've done it, I'll leave!"

"Very well, since Benefactor Qin is so stubborn, then don't blame this humble monk for being impolite!"

Having said that, Kong Zhi's aura suddenly surged, and he took a step forward, seemingly unintentionally, yet he had already arrived in front of Qin Huaiyu.

So fast!

Qin Huaiyu was shocked and quickly dodged.

However, Kong Zhigeng was even faster. Before he could make a move, he struck out with his palm, causing the airflow to surge and the space to reverberate as if it were about to collapse, demonstrating just how terrifying this attack was.

Qin Huaiyu reacted with incredible speed. Seeing that he couldn't dodge, he threw a punch to meet the attack head-on.

The golden light and the black light intersect.

The powerful energy fluctuations spread out directly.

"Crack, crack," a few crisp sounds.

The floor beneath their feet shattered, sending fragments flying that blasted a layer of blood mist onto several nearby corpses.

"So powerful! This old dog's strength has probably already entered the second major realm!"

Feeling the overwhelming power, Qin Huaiyu dared not linger in the fight and withdrew.

"A mid-stage Profound Pool cultivator, possessing power comparable to the second realm! Benefactor Qin, you are indeed extraordinary!"

Kong Zhi frowned slightly, a faint stinging pain shooting through his arm. This kid's power was strange; it could actually erode my Nightmare Power. Could it be...?

A glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.

"You're stronger than me, yet you're almost at the grave and only at the second major realm. You're a disgrace to us cultivators!"

Qin Huaiyu was enjoying himself verbally, but his trembling hands betrayed him.

"Hmph, sharp-tongued and quick-witted, this humble monk will see how long you can hold out!"

A hint of anger flashed between Kong Zhi's brows. As a cultivator, he had never been so humiliated.

The black light rose again, and its powerful aura spread throughout the entire hall.

The people on the high platform collapsed, and they were crushed and kept spitting blood.

The battle on the other side suddenly stopped. The tall, muscular monsters of the Nightmare Devourer were trembling and their bodies were bent over.

Feng Yunming turned around in surprise, then began to tremble as if he were about to fall.

Shen Wan'er's face turned pale, and her forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat. Only now did she realize how childish her previous impulsiveness had been.

Faced with overwhelming power, everything is in vain.

"snort!"

Qin Huaiyu stood ramrod straight and said:

"Is that all you're capable of? Then you're nothing special!"

After saying that, he rushed out, his internal energy rapidly circulating, and his body shone with golden light, just like a dazzling sun.

"court death!"

Kongzhi unleashed a powerful killing intent and charged forward.

He was like an abyss, pitch black and unfathomable.

The ground trembled, leaving behind dents; the two men were incredibly strong, chilling the onlookers to the bone.

A loud "bang" was heard.

Announcement: Update coming soon, please stay tuned!

It was as if a thunderbolt struck from mid-air.

Black and gold clashed and dispersed, the violent energy spreading outwards, lifting the floorboards, stirring up sand and gravel, and scattering the offering table with the incense burner. Several foolish Devourers were pierced by wooden spikes and died instantly.

Both of them were incredibly fast, leaving only afterimages in the arena.

This kid's cultivation has improved again, he's a real little monster!

A strange light flashed in Feng Yunming's eyes. Then, he moved his feet and took the opportunity to quickly eliminate the remaining few Nightmare Devourers who were still in a daze.

Shen Wan'er stared intently at the battlefield. Was this all the strength he possessed?

She was shocked. She had thought the two were about the same level, but now it seemed she had been naive.

How exactly did he cultivate? How could his strength become comparable to that of an old monster like Kong Zhi in just a few days?

.........

On the field

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The muffled thuds continued, like the prelude to a storm, with thunder and lightning raging.

Another collision, the ground shook.

Both of them were knocked back. Qin Huaiyu steadied himself, but he was no longer the same as when he first arrived. Blood was still dripping from the corner of his mouth, and his clothes were tattered, revealing scarlet wounds.

That old dog is truly formidable. If I hadn't reached the mid-stage of the Profound Pool yesterday, I would probably have been defeated by now!

Damn it, Heaven is cruel, allowing such a guy to become a cultivator!

He cursed inwardly while focusing on healing his injuries.

Kongzhi had lost his kind and gentle demeanor; his face was ashen.

His monk's robes were all in bad shape. Although there were no wounds on his body, his internal injuries were quite serious. The golden energy was eroding his meridians, causing waves of stinging pain.
