I am the villain in the book

Every three breaths, a demon dies.

When Wei Changtian took two demons' lives in the space of a few words, Su Xiu knew he wasn't joking.

Her eyes widened, her beautiful face filled with anger and horror.

She stared blankly at Wei Changtian, as if she were seeing a demon from hell, her mouth open but unable to speak.

However, Wei Changtian ignored her completely, and when three breaths had passed, he swung his knife again, casually slicing off the head of another guard.

In ten breaths, three more demon corpses lay in the room.

At this rate, nearly five hundred demons would die every quarter of an hour, and four thousand every hour.

"Stop!!"

Under extreme pressure, Su Xiu finally came to her senses, shouted, and rushed towards Wei Changtian.

However, the latter simply waved his hand, and an invisible wall of qi rose up, trapping her in place, unable to move another step.

"This... This is..."

Su Xiu had never seen such a divine power as the Dragon Locking Formation before, and she was immediately shocked, struggling to escape within the small space like a headless fly.

But no matter how she tried, she could not escape the shackles beneath her feet, less than half a zhang in size, and could only watch helplessly as Wei Changtian swung his knife again, taking the life of the fourth guard.

Like a canary trapped in a cage, Su Xiu pressed her hands against the Dragon Locking Wall, her eyes filled with despair and hatred as she looked at Wei Changtian.

And more and more demons surged around, surrounding the small lake in the blink of an eye.

They were all filled with anger and humiliation, and if looks could kill, the fire in their eyes would have burned Wei Changtian to ashes long ago.

However, when their eyes fell on Wei Zhaohai and the other three who were already standing beside Wei Changtian, none of them dared to step forward and fight.

Ten thousand demons, just standing there watching Wei Changtian kill their companions one after another... This scene was actually quite ridiculous at first glance.

But it was also somewhat tragic.

Because everyone knew that if they stepped forward, they would only die faster.

Four second-rank cultivators and one third-rank cultivator, if these five people were to start a massacre, the speed of death would not be as simple as "one every three breaths."

This feeling of powerlessness brought about by the gap in strength was the most despairing.

If you can't beat them, you can only be slaughtered, with no way out.

Unless...

Slowly, as more and more corpses piled up by the lake, more and more demons gritted their teeth and turned their eyes to Su Xiu.

They were not waiting for the latter to agree to Wei Changtian's conditions, but were waiting for the latter to give an order, and then they would rush up to fight at all costs.

Because they would rather die in battle than lose their lives in such a humiliating way.

"Roar!!"

"Ugh! Roar!!!"

"..."

However, the latter's decision was beyond everyone's expectations.

The sun was high in the sky, the golden sun like arrows.

Just as a leopard demon who had not yet transformed, and also the thirty-second demon beast, died under Li Huaizhong's palm, she suddenly closed her eyes and shouted a word with all her strength.

"Run!!!"

Faced with Wei Changtian's almost insulting "killing one person every three breaths", Su Xiu, as the Demon King, was undoubtedly the most desperate and also the most conflicted person among everyone present.

On the one hand, whether it was because of what Wei Changtian was doing now, or because of her promise to Yan Huanwen, she desperately wanted to tear Wei Changtian into pieces.

But on the other hand, the reason that had not been completely lost kept reminding her that Bai Ling Mountain could not do this at all.

Therefore, if she wanted to kill Wei Changtian to avenge these dead people, she had to hold the latter back and wait until the experts from the Great Awakening Dynasty arrived.

And in this way, she would definitely not be able to hand over Yang Liushi.

After all, once she handed over the person, Wei Changtian would have no more concerns, and could leave whenever he wanted, and she would not be able to stop him at all.

But if she didn't hand over the person, then would she just watch Wei Changtian kill them one by one?

It was only just past noon, and there was still more than half a day until the "tomorrow morning" that Yan Huanwen had said.

If Wei Changtian really didn't stop, then by the time the court experts arrived, there would be no one alive on the entire Bai Ling Mountain.

Of course, Su Xiu could not watch Bai Ling Mountain turn into nothingness like this, and she could not hand over Yang Liushi, so now there was only one last way to go.

That was to run.

Even though Wei Changtian had four second-rank experts under his command, as long as the demons wanted to escape, they would always be able to escape most of them.

Of course, she could not escape, but Su Xiu had never thought about escaping for her life.

With things developing to this point, she had long put life and death aside, and only thought about how to save more people's lives.

Therefore, when she finished shouting, but found that few of the demons were moving, she continued to shout anxiously:

"Run!!!"

"I order you!!! Run! ! !"

"Escape as far as you can! !"

"Don't come back! !"

"..."

Under Su Xiu's hoarse shouting, many demon beasts finally understood her intentions and turned to flee.

Looking at the scene that was gradually becoming chaotic as a result, the despair on Su Xiu's face also eased a little.

However, in the next second, just as the corner of her eye inadvertently caught Wei Changtian's movements... She only felt that she seemed to have thought too simply.

"Run?"

Wei Changtian glanced at Su Xiu, smiled, slowly raised his right hand, and then dropped it.

"Boom!!!"

The invisible Dragon Locking Formation rose up with a bang, instantly covering an area of several miles around the small lake.

"Bang! Bang bang bang!"

Countless demon beasts who were running wildly crashed into the qi wall one after another, making a series of dull sounds.

Even some unlucky guys happened to be on the edge of the Dragon Locking Formation, and were immediately divided into two sections by the formation wall.

Beast blood gurgled out from the severed corpses, staining the ground red, and also forming a blood-red boundary.

Outside the boundary is life, inside the boundary is death.

"..."

Ten thousand beasts wailed, but could not shake the Dragon Locking Formation in the slightest.

Su Xiu stared blankly at all of this, the last glimmer of light in her eyes disappearing little by little.

She couldn't believe that Wei Changtian's methods had made even escaping a luxury.

The distant roars and collisions gradually became ethereal, Su Xiu didn't know what else she could do, and even her vision became blurred.

At this moment, Wei Zhaohai, Yu Qi, and Zuo Huiyu also had somewhat complicated expressions, only Li Huaizhong was still "conscientiously" silently counting the time, and would swing his palm every three breaths, taking the life of a demon beast.

More than a hundred demon corpses were scattered everywhere, with wisps of white mist floating above them.

Wei Changtian glanced at the mist rising from the demon absorption, and then sat down on a still intact wooden chair, and said with a smile:

"Demon King, I just took a look, there are about four or five thousand demons in the formation, enough to kill for a while."

"It's okay, take your time."

"We're not in a hurry."
