I am the villain in the book

【 Ding! 】

【 Detected Host has killed the Son of Heaven “Bai Youheng” 】

【 Host has plundered all his Luck, rewarding 1000 System Points 】

【 Detected Host is not associated with the “Heavenly Dao” of this world, unable to enjoy Luck bonus. The Luck belonging to “Gu Diao” will now be distributed in the form of a special divine ability 】

【 Congratulations, Host, you have mastered the special divine ability “Soul Devour” 】

【 Soul Devour: Special divine ability. The Host can extract the souls from human corpses to increase their own cultivation by a small amount. 】

As Wei Changtian recalled the long blade nailed into Bai Youheng's corpse back into the Starry Sky scabbard, a series of system prompts sounded in his mind, confirming that the latter was indeed dead.

However...

Why are there only 1000 System Points?

Didn't killing Yun Lian give 1500 before?

Could it be that there are differences between Sons of Heaven?

A trace of doubt flashed through Wei Changtian's mind, but he quickly figured it out.

In that case, wouldn't killing Ning Yongnian give even less?

He felt a burst of helplessness in his heart, and then quickly looked at the description of "Soul Devour".

Extract souls, increase cultivation.

It feels similar to "Devour Demon", except that one targets demon corpses and the other targets human corpses.

Wei Changtian originally thought that the special divine ability he would obtain this time should be the move Bai Youheng used to slaughter Yuanzhou City. Now that he found it wasn't, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Although "Soul Devour" is also good, compared to "Devour Demon", it at least saves the troublesome process of "finding demons to kill".

However, he already has too many of these "growth-type skills", and lacks some divine abilities with stronger lethality.

Forget it, it's good to have something.

Shaking his head, he glanced at the giant Gu Diao flying towards him, and then looked at Ning Yongnian, who had been silent on the opposite side.

Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes, and once again increased the force under his feet, instantly breaking several more of Wu Ding's ribs.

"Ning Yongnian, I don't have time to waste here with you."

"Speak!"

"."

Dusk was approaching, and snow danced wildly, like willow catkins flying.

The dragon robe swayed in the cold wind, and his fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly.

From the moment Wei Changtian killed Bai Youheng, Ning Yongnian's heart had been filled with anger.

However, when he personally saw the Gu Diao, which originally belonged to Bai Youheng, flying towards Wei Changtian and circling above him, a hint of fear was added to this boundless anger.

It was obvious that Wei Changtian could plunder their Heavenly Dao Luck.

Therefore, his identity was definitely not just the only son of the Wei family, and there must be more unknown secrets hidden on him...

Thinking of this, the anger in his eyes slowly faded, and then completely disappeared.

Just as things were about to develop in an uncontrollable direction, Ning Yongnian actually regained his rationality.

"Wei Changtian, you are very good."

Taking a deep breath, he waved his hand to stop the restless soldiers around him, his tone calm and cold.

"But you're right, a two-for-one exchange is indeed me taking advantage of you."

"And since Bai Youheng is dead, then this is a one-for-one exchange."

"Return Wu Ding to me, and I will naturally hand Li Wutong over to you."

"How about it?"

"Not good."

Shaking his head, Wei Changtian didn't hesitate at all.

He looked at Ning Yongnian as if he were an idiot, squinting and sneering:

"Ning Yongnian, you yourself just said that there are 100,000 troops of yours in this Huailing City."

"And I'm not stupid, so how could I hand people over like this?"

"Then what do you want?"

Ning Yongnian's expression remained unchanged: "Don't want to make this deal anymore?"

"The deal still has to be made."

Wei Changtian casually picked up Wu Ding like a dead dog in his hand: "But I want to go outside the city first."

"Now, have your people make way for me!"

"."

Spears pointed forward, crossbows fully drawn.

Hearing Wei Changtian's request, the surrounding atmosphere immediately became tense, and thousands of soldiers instantly prepared for battle.

Even the second-rank general who had been preparing military affairs also rushed to the scene, silently standing behind Ning Yongnian on the left and right with Li Huaizhong.

Obviously, Wei Changtian wanted to use Wu Ding as a hostage to "break out of the encirclement" and then exchange them.

And if Ning Yongnian really agreed, then today would be a big loss.

Not only would Li Qi be rescued, Li Wutong be exchanged, and Bai Youheng die.

Even Wu Ding, who had luckily survived, was seriously injured, not only not knowing when he would recover, but also definitely leaving behind many serious hidden injuries.

Therefore, in the eyes of Li Huaizhong and others, abandoning Wu Ding and trying their best to kill Wei Changtian was the correct choice.

After all, although the latter had just completed the feat of "one against three", anyone could see that his strength was actually only equivalent to an ordinary second-rank.

In addition, now Wei Changtian obviously couldn't use that strange milky white palm print anymore, and probably didn't have the ability to instantly kill a second-rank - otherwise, why didn't he kill Li Huaizhong as well just now?

Therefore, in this situation, their advantage was actually incomparably huge.

Not only were there three second-ranks and thousands of soldiers, but there would also be a steady stream of reinforcements if a real fight broke out.

Such an opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they didn't kill Wei Changtian now, when would they?

"Clang clang clang..."

The continuous sound of drawing swords was slow and muffled, and the light spots reflected by the arrowheads, spear tips, and long blades were dense and numerous.

For a time, everyone was ready, waiting for Ning Yongnian's order to swarm up and tear Wei Changtian into pieces.

Li Wutong also realized this, and her whole body was trembling slightly at this moment.

Even the Huailing people who were watching seemed to understand something, and all of them widened their eyes and held their breath tightly.

However, at this critical moment, Ning Yongnian gave an unexpected answer.

"Okay, I promise you."

"Make way, let him out of the city!"

In fact, if they weren't standing in God's perspective, Li Huaizhong and others' ideas were correct.

But Ning Yongnian thought more.

Not to mention whether Qin Zhengqiu and the Monk Huian, who had disappeared, would make a comeback, just the fact that Wei Changtian dared to be trapped alone in the encirclement was enough to make people worry.

The previous events had already shown that Wei Changtian was definitely not a foolish纨绔子弟.

Therefore, since he dared to come, he must have a way to escape.

It's just that this method may require some price, or it may not be 100% successful, so Wei Changtian wanted to use Wu Ding as a hostage, trying to retreat completely in a simpler way.

Therefore, even if they gave up Wu Ding, it would probably be difficult to kill Wei Changtian.

But he would definitely lose a general because of this.

At this time, Ning Yongnian was unwilling to have any major losses in his power.

Therefore, after hesitating several times, he decided to let Wei Changtian out of the city.

"."

"Okay, you're sensible."

Looking at Ning Yongnian from afar, Wei Changtian dropped a sentence and walked towards the execution ground with Wu Ding in hand.

Wherever he went, whether it was soldiers or civilians, they all made way for a wide enough passage, but the expressions of the two were completely different.

The soldiers holding various weapons were all nervous and looked ugly, fearing that Wei Changtian would suddenly attack again.

The people, on the other hand, all had excited expressions on their faces, and some even knelt down on the roadside with a "plop", as if they were thanking Wei Changtian for everything he had done just now.

Some people regard him as a mortal enemy, and some people regard him as a peerless hero.

However, Wei Changtian, who was in the midst of the two gazes, did not look at anyone, just walking slowly, the blood left from Wu Ding's body left a long bloodstain on the snow behind him.

In many film and television works in his previous life, the hero's back can be unrestrained, shocking, inspiring, and determined.

It can even be lonely, lonely, and tragic.

However, at this moment, Wei Changtian's lonely back gave many people a feeling of fear.

Like a hungry wolf, terrifying and ferocious.
