I am the villain in the book

The crescent moon cast a pale light, illuminating the figures in the astonished and panicked eyes of Yan Huanwen and the others.

It was Wei Changtian and his group, who had "returned after leaving," or perhaps hadn't left at all, along with Su Xiu, who bit her lip, her eyes filled with unbearable sorrow.

Without a doubt, Wei Changtian had no intention of giving up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Whether he killed Yan Huanwen directly or took him hostage back to Liangzhou, it would have a significant impact on the war.

Therefore, he could not possibly let the former go.

And since he couldn't get anything out of Su Xiu's mouth, he simply staged this scene.

He even deliberately left those words behind to make Yan Huanwen believe that they had really returned to Liangzhou.

In fact, Yan Huanwen had been very cautious, waiting until some reinforcements arrived at Bailing Mountain before showing his face.

However, he still did not expect that Wei Changtian would choose to launch a surprise attack under such circumstances.

“…”

“Protect the Emperor!!”

A cold wind suddenly rose, and the leading man in black shouted violently, his inner strength surging intensely.

Wei Zhaohai and the other three were the same, and in an instant, they rushed over with overwhelming killing intent.

Neither side said a word of nonsense, and they began to fight as soon as they met.

Especially Wei Changtian's side, knowing that the other side had reinforcements, they had to fight quickly, so all those who could fight were directly involved in the battle, with only Yang Liushi hiding in the rear to guard the immobile Su Xiu.

“Bang!!”

“Boom boom boom!!”

“Ah!!”

However, although the two sides temporarily stalemated for a moment, facing the fierce attacks of Wei Changtian's five Rank-2, the men in black, whose overall combat strength was much weaker, quickly showed signs of being unable to resist.

“Thump!”

A head fell to the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.

This was the last Middle Rank-3 martial artist among the men in black, who had already died on the spot after more than ten breaths of fighting.

And with his death, the comparison of combat power between the two sides also became "five Rank-2" against "two Rank-2, seven Rank-3".

In the battle of Yanyun Mountain with Xiao Feng, Wei Changtian once used Liang Zhen and other five Rank-3 to block a Rank-2 expert.

Converted in this way, then his side now led by one and a half Rank-2 realm of combat power.

This gap was undoubtedly huge, otherwise Wei Changtian would not have shown his face just now.

However, even if victory was only a matter of time, it was not easy to quickly end the battle.

After all, in order to protect Yan Huanwen, the other party would definitely not escape, but would fight to the death.

And although there was only a one-word difference between "defeat" and "kill", the difficulty was undoubtedly very different.

What's more, Yan Huanwen was the Emperor of Dajue, and this team of men in black were his confidants, so how could they not have some other means.

“Activate the formation!!!”

A violent shout suddenly sounded, and the leader of the men in black, after repelling Yu Qi with one move, suddenly took out a piece of black jade from his arms, and then crushed it into powder.

The remaining men in black also ignored their opponents after hearing the words, and while also taking out a piece of black jade, they flashed back to Yan Huanwen's side, faintly forming a strange formation.

“Bang bang bang!!!!”

The sound of jade breaking suddenly rang out, except for two Rank-3 men in black who were caught in a loophole during this process and were killed on the spot, the remaining seven, even though they were all injured to varying degrees because of this, eventually successfully stood on the formation position and crushed the black jade.

And then…

“Whoosh!!”

As a chilling wind swept up, strands of black mist spread out at an extremely fast speed, completely enveloping Yan Huanwen and the group of men in black in less than a breath, also isolating all light, sound, and aura in the mist.

“Swoosh!!”

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!”

Faced with such a strange black mist, Wei Changtian and others naturally could not be so careless as to have no scruples, so they all flashed back to the outside of the formation before the black mist closed.

The five stood in mid-air, first looking at each other, and then Wei Zhaohai waved a palm print, directly hitting the black mist.

“…”

There was no sound, and even the whistling wind disappeared the moment the palm print touched the black mist.

More importantly, this palm print did not come out from the other side of the black mist, as if it had fallen into a swamp and left nothing behind.

Huh?

Frowning, Wei Changtian reached out and summoned a long knife, once again shooting it towards the black mist.

The next moment, the connection established in his mind between "Ten Thousand Blades Attraction" and the long knife suddenly disappeared, and he could no longer sense it at all.

This was the first time Wei Changtian had encountered this situation.

He was stunned for a moment, gently shook his head at the other four, and did not try again casually.

Because the current situation was already very obvious.

This black mist was not only a defensive formation, but also far more troublesome than they had imagined.

At the last moment of completing the goal, the situation suddenly changed.

Wei Changtian and others were not surprised by this.

After all, Dajue was taking the path of witchcraft cultivation, which was completely different from Taoism.

They had long understood what "witchcraft" was good at and proficient in, but it was only superficial, and they certainly could not come into contact with too many profound supernatural powers.

What's more, this formation came from the hands of the Dajue royal family, so it was normal that they could not break it for the time being.

It would be strange if Yan Huanwen, as the ruler of a country, had no skills at all.

“…”

“Changtian, since we have never seen this formation, we cannot break it from the outside.”

“And Yan Huanwen's reinforcements are estimated to arrive soon, and we cannot delay too much time here.”

In the air, Wei Zhaohai came to Wei Changtian's side, frowning and analyzing:

“If you want to break the formation quickly, you can only enter the formation now.”

“Otherwise, you can only leave as soon as possible.”

“…”

The bright moon shone for thousands of miles, but could not penetrate the black mist at all.

Wei Changtian lowered his head and did not speak immediately, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

Wei Zhaohai was right.

Without any knowledge of this formation, they only had two paths to choose from.

Either enter the formation to see if they could find a way to break the formation.

Or leave as soon as possible.

Obviously, the former was undoubtedly extremely risky, after all, no one knew what the situation was inside this black mist.

And the latter, although there was no risk, meant that they had been busy for so long, but still failed to kill Yan Huanwen.

So…

“Grandpa, I'll go in first.”

After a few breaths, Wei Changtian quickly made a decision.

Seeing that Wei Zhaohai seemed to want to say something, he took the lead and smiled:

“Grandpa, you don't need to persuade me.”

“Didn't I say before I came that if I really encounter danger, I must be the first one.”

“What's more, this formation may not be so powerful.”

“This…”

Wei Zhaohai hesitated for a moment, and finally replied helplessly:

“Okay, then we will follow behind you, presumably even if we can't break the formation, we won't encounter too much danger.”

“Yeah.”

Wei Changtian nodded slightly, and without being verbose, immediately walked quickly to the edge of the black mist.

And Wei Zhaohai and the other three followed behind him.

The five drew their weapons, prepared themselves, and then took a deep breath and stepped into the black mist.

And then…

“Huh?”

More than ten breaths later, Wei Changtian, who had already walked out from the opposite side of the black mist, looked blank.

After entering the formation, he was surrounded by mist, and basically couldn't see anything, so he could only keep walking forward.

As a result, he just walked out like this??

Where were Yan Huanwen and the group of men in black??

Looking back at Wei Zhaohai and the others who had also walked out of the black mist, Wei Changtian frowned, and then entered the black mist for the second time.

Then it was the third time, the fourth time, the fifth time…

After traversing the black mist five times from all directions, but still failing to meet Yan Huanwen, the five finally vaguely understood one thing.

This formation was probably an extremely rare illusion formation.

After all, Yan Huanwen and the others must be in the mist, but they couldn't meet them, which meant that the roads they had taken before were all "fake".

As for where the "real road" was, perhaps only those who were extremely proficient in formations could see the clues.

And none of the five of them understood formations, so…

“Alas.”

Sighing, Wei Changtian searched in the system for a long time but couldn't find any "formation-breaking道具", so he had to prepare to go home.

However, just as he was about to speak, a weak voice suddenly came from behind him.

“Earth, Fire, Ming Yi, darkness turning to light…”

“Gen is mountain, movement and stillness at the right time…”

“Establish thirty-six hexagram positions, face fifty-two hexagram positions, can break the formation.”
