The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Original form?

Ye Xiao was slightly taken aback. The cold wind that had just been faintly rising suddenly howled and expanded. Black smoke poured out of the talisman, enveloping Shen San's figure and spraying out in all directions.

The fires in the dark dungeon were extinguished by the raging, eerie wind, and the chains attached to them rattled loudly.

Mingya and Jinli were swallowed up by the black mist. Ye Xiao covered his forehead with his hand and scanned the area under his palm, vaguely seeing the outline of a huge figure emerging from the black mist.

It was a terrifying beast as tall as a building, shrouded in black mist, with scarlet eyes, a sharp snout covered in black fur and densely packed fangs, and sharp claws capable of splitting gold and iron, digging into the floor, leaving ten deep, intersecting scratches.

"She really is a vixen?"

After getting used to the chilling wind, Ye Xiao lowered the arm that was covering her face.

But then they heard the demon open its blood-red maw and suddenly let out a deafening roar, its huge body shooting towards Ye Xiao like an arrow.

Ye Xiao immediately dodged, and his swung claws smashed the stone pillar behind him into dust.

Having missed its first attack, the monster immediately swung its claw at the tiny figure again, but it missed once more.

Its eyes darted around, and it saw Ye Xiao's nimble figure leaping into the air on its front paws, raising its right foot and mercilessly delivering a whip kick to its huge forehead.

"Ow!!!"

The furry little brain was kicked in the face, and its body was light. Its head tilted and crashed into several stone pillars next to it.

It roared and raised its head again, only to see the intense flames in the darkness rapidly coalescing into a ball, almost blinding it.

Ye Xiao braced himself on the ground with his right hand, raised his left hand, adorned with a spellcasting ring, high in the air, and condensed fierce flames into a spear in his palm before hurling it out.

The dazzling musket flashed a white light and struck the monster in the face, causing a violent explosion.

A wave of fire erupted, stretching for several meters, illuminating the entire dungeon in an instant.

The monster's form was completely engulfed by the flames, and it let out a heart-wrenching scream.

With a large body and weak defenses, and abundant hair and weak fire, Ye Xiao has always been adept at exploiting the weaknesses of his enemies.

But amidst the raging flames, Ye Xiao caught a glimpse of tiny, curled outlines suddenly emerging from the massive figure shrouded in firelight.

It was as if countless long snakes were emerging from the body of that roaring monster.

"what."

Ye Xiao frowned. "For that prince, you're willing to completely sacrifice your soul to the evil god?"

The ferocious beast naturally wouldn't respond to Ye Xiao's words; it was questionable how much sanity it still possessed.

But then the enormous body rose from the flames, and the long snakes that had been seen earlier turned out to be dark tentacles that broke through its hairy body and wriggled incessantly.

"The obsession runs deep."

Ye Xiao pursed his lips, and finally raised his right hand, placing it on the hilt of the sword behind his back.

"May the Holy Maiden rest in peace."

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Everywhere You Look, There Are Soldiers

A furious roar, a gentle breeze.

Mingya, who was so disoriented by the black mist, didn't even see what was happening before he saw a cool musket pierce through the entire area and cause an explosion. The huge monster not far away trembled and fell down.

Its body broke in two and crashed to the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

The black mist that covered the entire dungeon dissipated, and a tall, thin figure carrying a long sword slowly emerged from the firelight. Beneath his disheveled bangs, his face still wore that lazy, sleepy look.

"It's...resolved?"

Mingya looked stunned.

"if not."

Ye Xiao, hands in his pockets, swept past Mingya like a gust of wind, saying, "Let's hurry, we're in a rush."

Mingya scratched his head, glanced at the two pieces of the demon's corpse lying quietly on the ground, and then followed them in a daze.

However, compared to Mingya, who couldn't see very clearly, Jinli's expression was much more shocked.

The girl's throat trembled, and she slightly raised her head.

Under the firelight, a deep, unfathomable sword mark ran across a wide stone wall about twenty meters in front of them.

……

After leaving the abandoned dungeon, they climbed upwards along a long flight of stairs, as if they were descending from hell to the human world.

However, this long road paved with bluestone slabs eventually came to an end, and an iron gate appeared in front of them, announcing that they had finally arrived at the upper level.

"Shen San wanted to retreat early when he was down there, I guess it's because there's a high probability that there's a trap behind this door."

When Ye Xiao saw Mingya trying to push the door open, he immediately spoke up.

"Forehead."

Mingya quickly withdrew his hand and looked at the iron gate. "But apart from this gate... it seems like we have nowhere else to go."

"Please wait for me a moment."

The koi took out a talisman from its bosom, folded it a few times, and it became a small origami crane.

Then, she was seen holding a paper crane in one hand, with two fingers of her other hand placed together in front of her chest, and she let out a soft "heh".

Suddenly, the origami crane in his palm seemed to come alive, flapping its wings and slowly taking flight.

Then, the girl raised her delicate hand and seemed to conjure something out of thin air and sprinkle it on the origami cranes. The tiny origami cranes, as if covered in transparent dust, gradually disappeared without a trace.

"Holy crap, Brother Ye, can we players learn this kind of spell?"

Mingya's eyes lit up.

"Since you've chosen the profession of swordsman, just focus on practicing swordsmanship. You can explore other fancy skills when you reach the master level of swordsmanship."

Ye Xiao ruthlessly crushed his little brother's budding dream of cultivating both physical and magical techniques.

"Ok."

Mingya's disappointed expression seemed to indicate that he regretted choosing such a simple profession as a swordsman.

The invisible origami cranes fluttered and slipped through the crack in the door. The koi fish then took out a talisman, pinched it between its fingers, and flicked it. Flames ignited on the talisman, and the rising smoke swirled and gathered into a hazy image.

As the flames flickered, the scene gradually became clearer, and it turned out to be exactly what the origami crane had seen.

"Absolutely."

Mingya clicked his tongue in amazement, becoming increasingly disdainful of the few ounces of iron hanging from his waist.

Ye Xiao looked at the boy's envious expression and sighed helplessly.

I guess I fought too well just now, and he probably saw through my magic fire spear. I need to find a chance to show this guy that swordsmen can be cool too, okay?

As the three talked, the images transmitted by the origami crane changed, revealing that behind the iron gate was also a dungeon, with stone pillars standing tall, though it was not yet abandoned, and bright kerosene lamps hung on the walls all around.

The dungeon behind was not just a single floor, but a hollow five-story structure shaped like the Chinese character "回" (hui), with a tall tower standing in the middle, which was probably a tower commonly used to monitor prisoners.

At this moment, the five floors were filled with fully armed orc soldiers.

At the very bottom were shield guards clad in heavy black iron armor, with armored kodo beasts tethered to them, wielding large axes and lurking menacingly around the entrance.

Two levels up, you'll see goblins drawing their bows and trolls wielding spears; and one level up, you'll see rows of ratmen operating crossbows with thick, three-edged iron arrows gleaming coldly.

At the very top, a shaman holding a scepter arranged overlapping halos on the ground as totems. Three individuals, whose armor was distinctly different from that of the other orcs, sat upright on chairs. Their helmets were adorned with colorful bird feather patterns, and their exquisite armor was engraved with enchanted runes, their outlines faintly glowing.

The troll general with the bright blue skin glanced at the invisible origami crane as it flew to the upper level. With a flick of his finger, a thin bolt of lightning shot out from his fingertip and accurately struck the origami crane.

The origami cranes turned into charred ashes, and the image transmitted to Ye Xiao and the other two disappeared as well.

After watching the scene, large beads of sweat rolled down Mingya's face.

"No, this can't even be called a trap anymore, it's like burying an entire army!"

After saying that, he looked at Ye Xiao again and said, "Brother Ye, you've really gone too far, making others hold such a grand welcoming ceremony."

"How about... we go back to the city lord's mansion and try to go around from a different angle?"

Ye Xiao rubbed his chin, feeling a little intimidated by the situation.

That's insane. He's not Arthas. Is this crappy Thunder Fortress here to fight a boss?

"Is it too late...?"

The koi scratched its cheek. "Swim out again. By the time we find a way, it'll probably be dawn."

"Indeed, I was just saying it."

Ye Xiao crossed his arms and leaned against the door. "Now we only have this one way out. We'll probably have to come up with a plan... Mingya, those sword skills your system gave you should all be at the proficient level by now, right?"

"Brother Ye, are you referring to those beginner sword techniques?"

Mingya scratched his head. "That's about it."

"Okay, you saw those three Grandmaster Orcs sitting at the very top, right?"

"Ah."

"You'll be in charge of holding off the three of them for a bit."

"Okay... no, wait a minute."

Mingya pondered for a moment, then widened her eyes in surprise, thinking she had misheard.

"...Me, go and hold off the three of them?"

"It's very simple, they're just grandmasters. You saw yesterday I kicked them one by one."

"No, how can you compare? I just left the newbie village, Brother Ye!"

Mingya's expression was worse than crying. "You might as well just kill me."

"Have confidence. I'll teach you a few tricks, and then..."

Koi looked at the two whispering to each other and tilted her head in confusion.

However, Ye Xiao quickly waved to Jinli again, "Miss Jinli, tell me about the spells you know."

……

After a while.

Inside the dungeon outside the iron gate, the lights were on.

The orc soldiers, fully armed and on guard, suddenly heard a soft creaking sound coming from the small iron gate they were facing.

They immediately became extremely alert, gripped their weapons tightly, and focused their attention on that direction.

A chilling atmosphere filled the air, and all the orcs stared intently at the iron gate as it slowly opened a crack.

Chapter 100 Grand Debut

But then the iron gate opened, and out came a man with a fox-like appearance, dressed in a long robe and mandarin jacket.

This caused many crossbow bolts, which had been taut and ready to fire, to relax slightly.

"Hey guys."

The man clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to the menacing beastmen. “Those guys are down there. Come up soon. Let me go first.”

The group of shield-wielding soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Shen San didn't care whether the orcs agreed or not, and strode towards the steps in front.

"Wait!"

Just then, a low shout came, and Shen San stopped in his tracks. He saw a giant demon general leap down from the top floor.

The troll witch doctor, born with the keenest sense of danger, hunched over with his mountain-like body, lowered his large, dark blue face and approached "Shen San".

Shen San dared not make a move, but simply swallowed and stood still.

"Was that familiar you released?"

"Yes... This is a secret technique of our Dongyang. I habitually use this method to find my way. If it offends you, please don't take offense, hehe."

Shen San forced a smile.

The troll witch doctor sniffed the air. He wasn't familiar with the human from the Eastern Continent who had come to visit the city lord's mansion, but he certainly didn't sense any danger from the person in front of him.
