Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

"Woo..."

Ye Shuang'er wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, finally stopping her sobs. Then, with a harlequin-like look, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Rao: "I know saving Master is important, but Senior Sister Qingluo is deeply resentful of Master and won't even give us a chance to talk... How should we tell her all this?"

Rush directly to Qingluo and tell her "This is all for your own good"?

Qingluo would probably be so angry that she would burn them together with her accomplices.

"Um……"

Jiang Rao also fell silent.

In fact, she had tried to contact Qingluo a long time ago and even sent people to Donghuang.

She did it again recently after returning from the "Cangwu Abyss".

But all the people sent out eventually disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Rao still had some confidence in the "birds" she had handpicked and nurtured, confident they wouldn't betray her for a tiny profit. Then, there was only one possibility—they were all dead!

The murderer could be another member of the Shenhuang clan, another demon clan in the Eastern Wasteland, or the Shentu family, the Xueyuan clan... but the suspect group is too large to make an accurate judgment.

But because of this, Jiang Rao has never been able to talk to Qingluo.

In the current situation, Jiang Rao feels that he has a certain responsibility.

"Speaking of which... Shuang'er, and Miss Tingxue, what is the Master's current level of cultivation? Can he fight against Qingluo?"

"This one……"

Ji Tingxue and Ye Shuang'er glanced at each other. "She should still be at the Nascent Soul stage. With her magical abilities and artifacts, she can battle against those at the Spiritual Transformation stage. If it weren't for the battle with Blood God Son, she might have been able to fight Qingluo, but now... it's hard to say."

"So, what if we join in?"

"...Hard to say."

There was a huge chasm between the Nascent Soul and the Divine Transformation. Although Jiang Rao, Ye Shuang'er, and Bai Hu were all Nascent Soul Rank 6 and above, and each possessed unique skills, against a Divine Transformation, especially one in the late stage, they would probably be lucky to be able to protect themselves and would be of little help.

unless……

Jiang Rao looked at Ji Tingxue.

The latter sighed and said, "I tried to communicate with her when I went to the Blood Source Sect headquarters this time, but there was no response."

——She, of course, refers to Ji Lingyun.

I don't know if this person consumed too much energy in the "Cangwu Abyss" or was simply sleeping in, but in any case, he has not shown any intention of intervening so far.

Therefore, she had to be excluded from the plan.

"Then there's no way."

Jiang Rao sighed softly and looked up at the main peak, in the direction of Lingyun Palace: "Perhaps, I can only borrow the power of Tianyuan Mountain..."

……

……

Current Fluctuation Value: 11500

[Current Fluctuation Value: 12500…]

a long distance away.

Bai Yuan recovered from the state of closing his eyes to practice, took a look at the densely packed fluctuation value prompt text, and fell into deep thought again.

no……

What on earth did Ye Shuang'er and the others do? Why did the fluctuation value on my side rise so rapidly in just half a night?

However, this is good news for Bai Yuan.

After all, the main reason she sent Jiang Cheng to Tianyuan Mountain to meet Jiang Rao was to extract a fluctuation value from the latter so that she could draw a super-large lucky bag and increase her chances of surviving Qingluo.

Now not only has the goal been achieved, but there are also several thousand additional fluctuation values, which is naturally cause for celebration.

but.

Along with this good news, there is also a piece of bad news. That is -

"Is it coming?"

Bai Yuan stood up and looked up at the horizon. In that direction, he could vaguely see a golden dot of light rapidly approaching.

"coming!"

It only took a few breaths.

The golden light spot expanded rapidly in Bai Yuan's sight, and in an instant it turned into a huge golden fireball. The fireball contained endless light and heat. Even though it was dozens of miles away, he could feel the air around him fluctuating slightly, like the scorching sun in the sky!

boom--! ! ! !

This moment.

The golden "sun" fell from the sky, like Mars hitting the Earth, and hit Bai Yuan's position, tearing her body into pieces in just an instant. Her body, burned by flames, was twisted and deformed in the heat wave.

But the next moment, dozens of phantoms appeared around, each one was as black as ink, and within a breath or two, they condensed into complete human forms, all of which looked like Bai Yuan.

——Shadow form, activate!

"Ok?"

Qingluo frowned.

Although she had sensed this during the previous hunts, it was only now that she realized that Bai Yuan wasn't using some magical weapon, but rather possessed the same magical powers as the Shadow Leopards. The scene before her was exactly the same as what Mo Zhe had used before!

How is this going?

the other side.

Bai Yuan took a deep breath and looked at the woman with golden eyes across from him.

Strictly speaking, this was her first time meeting Qingluo...in person. Before, she had only seen her in game CGs and portraits.

It must be said that Qingluo's real person looks much better than the portrait. Not to mention her fair and beautiful facial features like those in a painting, what is even more commendable is her graceful and awe-inspiring demeanor, like a peerless empress, with dignity in every move.

This kind of bearing is something that Jiang Rao, Ye Shuang'er, and even the "Blood Kite Demon Lord" do not possess. People dare not peek at them casually.

only……

It would be better if he didn't have such a murderous aura.

"Cough cough."

Before Qingluo could make a move, Bai Yuan tried to organize her words to talk to her: "Qing'er, long time no see..."

"……haven't seen you for a long time?"

Qingluo seemed to be amused by this greeting.

She first raised the corners of her mouth, then gradually began to laugh out loud, but her golden, amber-like pupils were filled with hatred, making her originally pretty and fair face look a little hideous:

"It's been a long time since we last met. For the past thirty years, there hasn't been a single day that I haven't thought about you and wanted to...

"I'll kill you with my own hands!!!"

Chapter 196: Master and Disciple! A Fateful Showdown!

The words have not yet fallen.

An even more astonishing aura erupted from Qingluo's body, which caused ripples in the air and then transformed into golden-red flames that came towards her, instantly melting all the rocks and trees it touched along the way...without even the process of "igniting"!

For a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with pungent gray fog, and the temperature rose by more than ten degrees in an instant.

Even Bai Yuan, trapped in the shadows, couldn't help but feel a dry, cracking sensation all over her body, as if on fire. She quickly pulled back, deploying her [Galaxy Illusion Veil] star track array to resist, only then did she feel a little better.

"This breath..."

It is clearly the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm!

A cultivation level similar to that of the Blood God Son!

——Maybe it is not as good as the Blood God Son’s original body, but compared with the Blood God Son’s incarnation, it is probably stronger, not weaker!

Although there was some distance between them, for someone at this level of cultivation, this distance was not much different from being right in front of them. Therefore, the instantaneous change in Bai Yuan's expression was noticed by Qing Luo on the opposite side.

The latter narrowed his eyes slightly, a playful expression on his face: "Why, are you surprised? In this world, you are the only one who shouldn't be surprised by this, because I can achieve what I have today... It's all thanks to you, my dear Master!!!"

Qingluo uttered the name "Master" with gritted teeth.

then.

The golden feathers on her body suddenly transformed into a pair of giant flaming wings, which suddenly spread out to their full extent. Every feather on the wings burst out with dazzling golden light like a miniature sun, illuminating the night sky for dozens of miles as bright as day!

The temperature soared again!

The extremely high temperature spread rapidly in a short moment. The stream in the valley a few kilometers away instantly boiled, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the surface of the surrounding earth, and even the air began to ripple, as if it was being cooked!

——The fire wave that could melt rocks directly just now was only a test attack for her. Until this moment, Qingluo truly unleashed her cultivation of the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm without reservation, unleashing a terrifying oppressive force!

boom--!

Flames Exploded!!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!!

A series of wind-breaking sounds exploded at the same time!

Amidst the overwhelming sea of ​​flames, Qingluo suddenly flapped her wings, and nine chains of fire shot out from the void. The chains were crimson, their surfaces etched with ancient runes, much like the secret patterns on the nine bronze tripods above Divine Phoenix Valley. Each chain, as it streaked through the air, left a lingering trail of fire in its wake.

Facing such an attack, Bai Yuan didn't dare to take it head-on. She could only sway, her entire form blurring into obscurity once more. The chain of fire pierced through her afterimage, shattering the hundreds-meter-high cliff behind her. Before the boulder even hit the ground, it melted into crimson lava in mid-air, pouring down like rain!

"Is it 'Shadow Walk' again?"

Qingluo sneered: "Just like that disgusting leopard demon, despicable people like you are only fit to live in the dark shadows and never see the light of day!!"

As he spoke, Qingluo was seen making hand gestures with one hand, controlling the fire chains to sweep continuously, while raising the other hand in front of him with a sword-like finger. Suddenly, a flame-shaped phoenix mark appeared between his eyebrows.

All of a sudden.

The surrounding ground began to shake violently and collapse.

Then, pillars of red-gold magma fire broke through the ground from the places hit by the fire chains, shot up into the sky, and intertwined in mid-air, forming a huge net that stretched across the sky and the earth!

This move was originally developed by Qingluo with Mo Zhe as her imaginary enemy. She herself hadn't anticipated using it on Bai Yuan. However, since she had already launched the attack, she naturally had to give it her all!

"rise!!!"

Accompanied by Qingluo's clear shout.

More pillars of crimson-gold flame erupted from the surrounding ground, transforming the area into a purgatory of flame. The air distorted in the intense heat, even tiny cracks appeared in space! Amidst the seething steam, the divine phoenix mark on Qingluo's forehead shone blindingly bright!

"Fuck..."

Isn’t this too fierce?!

Bai Yuan felt unwell.

She originally thought that the incarnation of the Blood God was invincible, but she didn't expect Qingluo to be even more ferocious... and this girl's flames could somewhat restrain the shadow ability of the Moon Shadow Cat Demon.

In this situation, Bai Yuan had already tried his best to dodge Qingluo's attacks and had no time to take care of anything else.

It only took a moment.

Qingluo destroyed all the dozens of shadow clones Bai Yuan had conjured. The surrounding land was also burned to a crisp in the flames, leaving behind a scene riddled with holes, like an object. Along Bai Yuan's escape route, hills crumbled inch by inch, and the rumbling sound of collapse was incessant.

This scene is like the end of the world!

Until Qingluo's attack slowed down slightly.

Bai Yuan finally escaped to a relatively intact rock several kilometers away and revealed his true form.

At this moment.

The Star Track Array on her body was already shaking violently, and the thin layer of starlight was constantly rippling. It was likely that it would not last long and would be completely crushed. Just like when she faced the Blood God's incarnation that day.

Can't fight.

Totally unplayable!

Strictly speaking, Bai Yuan's victory over the Blood God's incarnation was due to a bit of luck, mainly due to her [Thunder Pearl]. Without it, she could only escape from the Blood God, and she wouldn't have been able to take Ye Shuang'er, Jiang Rao, and the others with her.

And now...

Qingluo's strength is even above the incarnation of the Blood God, and he is also a hexagonal warrior - he has both mechanisms and values, with both red and blue bars off the charts, long attack range, short cooldown time, and attribute restraint... Faced with an opponent whose attributes are completely overwhelming, Bai Yuan has no idea how to fight.

"Combining two swords" may be of some use, but it is only a few moves and cannot have a decisive effect.

[Exquisite Dice] might be useful, but Qingluo is in a furious state right now and there's no way to get close to her.
