I am the villain in the book

“咚咚咚”

The knocking was soft, ringing five times in total before fading into silence.

As the sound died away, the secret chamber quickly returned to silence, but the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

Abruptly turning to look at the tightly shut door, the eyes of Xu Sui Sui and the others changed.

They exchanged glances, and Tang Chen and Shen Ran immediately and slowly rose, drawing the weapons from their waists, their eyes fixed on the door without moving.

Li Zi Mu gently walked to Xu Sui Sui's side, lowering her voice to ask:

“Your Majesty, does anyone know that we are hiding here?”

“No.”

Xu Sui Sui subconsciously shook her head: “Only Young Master Wei knows.”

“...”

Only Wei Changtian knows...

Hearing this, Li Zi Mu frowned, her expression becoming increasingly unsightly.

Clearly, even if the battle outside the city was over, Wei Changtian would not personally come to deliver the news.

Therefore, the person outside the room at this time would definitely not be the latter.

In that case...

“Your Majesty!”

Suddenly calling out softly, Li Zi Mu abruptly grabbed Xu Sui Sui, who seemed to be about to go to the door to ask for clarification, shaking her head solemnly.

“Don’t go.”

“...”

Xu Sui Sui, who had just gotten up and was grabbed by Li Zi Mu, was stunned, finally realizing the current situation.

Indeed, the person who came would definitely not be Wei Changtian.

And if it was someone sent by Wei Changtian, they should be declaring their identity outside the door at this time, and would never remain silent like this...

A chill seemed to sweep through the surroundings, causing Xu Sui Sui to shiver instinctively.

She bit her lip, afraid to speak, and looked at the door as if she were looking at some demon or monster, the unease in her heart growing stronger.

Although she had been holding the mother-child jade left by Wei Changtian, Xu Sui Sui hesitated for a moment and did not immediately burn the jade.

After all, the former was very likely fighting the enemy at this time, and she didn't want Wei Changtian to be distracted.

Moreover, it was not yet clear who was outside the room, and perhaps the actual situation was not as bad as imagined.

Perhaps as long as she didn't respond, the person outside the room would leave on their own?

Thinking this way, Xu Sui Sui relaxed a little, and her gaze was no longer as fearful as before when she looked at the door.

But in reality, this idea of hers was completely self-deceptive.

It should be known that this was not an ordinary palace, but a secret chamber used for refuge, and there was no possibility of someone stumbling upon this place by mistake.

Therefore, the person outside the room must have a clear goal, obviously coming to “find someone”.

Who were they looking for? The answer to this question was all too clear.

As for what these mysterious people wanted to do with Xu Sui Sui...

“Your Majesty, does this room have a secret passage connected to it? Or are there any other hiding places?”

Soon, Li Zi Mu, who had already understood all of this, suddenly said softly: “The visitors are ill-intentioned, it is best for you to leave first.”

“Leave, leave first?”

Seeing Li Zi Mu so serious, Xu Sui Sui's face gradually changed from red to white.

After a few breaths, she finally no longer harbored any wishful thinking, stammering in reply: “This, this place only has that door as an exit, besides that, there are only a few inner chambers...”

“Li, Miss Li, what should we do now?”

“Your Majesty, don’t panic, this commoner will definitely find a way to protect you.”

Li Zi Mu casually comforted her, and after only thinking for a moment, immediately said:

“Your Majesty, although this door is thick, if there are experts among the visitors, it will not be difficult to break in.”

“The palace is empty right now, and if they really want to harm you, then it will be difficult for Young Master Shen and Young Master Tang to stop them alone.”

“Now we can only gamble once.”

“Your Majesty, come with me!”

With a “bang”, the door of the compartment was slammed shut by Li Zi Mu, leaving only Tang Chen and Shen Ran outside the room looking at each other.

Holding their longswords, the two of them didn't actually know what Li Zi Mu was going to do, but they both understood that now was not the time to investigate.

Therefore, they only glanced back, and then continued to stare intently at the seemingly ordinary door in front of them, which was actually cast entirely from black iron, but covered with a layer of wooden planks on the outside, their bodies already surging with internal force.

From the first knock to now, about thirty breaths had passed.

During these thirty breaths, no further sound had come from outside the room, but that didn't mean the visitors had left.

Tang Chen and Shen Ran were both very clear that the people outside the room probably didn't want to cause too much commotion, so they didn't directly break in.

However...

Their eyes suddenly narrowed, and the light of the two longswords suddenly flourished in an instant.

Seemingly to verify that the two's guess was true, in the next moment, accompanied by the violent vibration of the air in the room, the door cast from black iron burst out with a dull loud noise amidst the violent tremors.

“Boom!!!”

Outside Fengyuan City, as the two giant dragons, one silver and one gold, collided with the two sword energies once again, Wei Changtian's face was very unsightly.

“Shua!”

Suspended in the air amidst the rolling air waves, his figure did not pause at all, dragging the Longquan Sword and swept to the side, barely dodging the aftermath of a sword energy.

“Rumble!!!”

Only a few zhang long, the aftermath fell from his side, leaving a deep sword mark on the ground before finally dissipating.

And only at this time did Wei Changtian barely have the effort to catch his breath.

It has to be said that the combination of “Second Rank plus Tiaoyue Sword” was indeed perverted, and even with his current strength, he could only delay the two opponents, and could not win at all.

The situation on the other battlefields in several directions was similar.

Although the six Buddhist monks were two against one, they were clearly at a disadvantage.

Only Qin Zhengqiu still had an advantage fighting two against one, but he could not end the battle in a short time either.

So, the two sides were generally in a balanced state, and no one could kill anyone.

On the contrary, the battle situation under their feet became more and more tragic, and countless soldiers fell every second.

It was hard to say who would benefit more from continuing this stalemate.

However, the number of Qian Hui's army had an absolute advantage after all, so even if the casualties were greater, as long as the morale of the army did not collapse, they would always be able to exhaust the Ning Shu reinforcements to death.

Of course, wanting to exhaust 300,000 people to death was definitely not something that could be done in a short time.

But Wei Changtian still felt that this battle could not be dragged on like this.

“Hu”

Taking a deep breath, while once again mobilizing countless longswords to form a sword formation, he once again called out the system interface.

Having fought until now, Wei Changtian had not used the Divine Strike Talisman.

This was not showing off, nor was it being reluctant to use system points, but because after his strength and his opponents reached the current level, “Divine Strike” had actually become somewhat of a tasteless thing.

Now, Wei Changtian's “glorious deeds” of killing Second Rank in one move were already well known, so these Kui Long people must have brought life-saving items.

Perhaps even more than one per person.

And after he exchanged a Jade Dew Powder for Xu Sui Sui, he still had more than 1500 system points left, enough to exchange for three Divine Strike Talismans.

Three Divine Strike Talismans, if all of them were smashed on one person, it was indeed very likely to kill them.

After all, there were still a minority of people like Ning Yongnian who carried three life-saving treasures on them.

But using 1500 points to kill one person was a bit too wasteful.

And to be honest, even if he lost one opponent, Wei Changtian would most likely not be able to kill the remaining one with “hard power”.

So, the situation would not actually change in essence at that time.

So, should he use Divine Strike or not?

And if he didn't use it, his trump card would only be left with...

Turning his head to look at Qin Zhengqiu's battlefield to the south, Wei Changtian hesitated, not knowing whether he should do it.

His mind was rapidly calculating the advantages and disadvantages, his figure still dodging in mid-air, continuing to exchange moves with the two Kui Long experts.

Then, at a certain moment, amidst the crisscrossing sword energies, Wei Changtian's face suddenly changed, and he quickly took out a scorching hot mother-child jade from his arms.

“Fuck!”
