So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

Dragon Head Forest.

This forest is located on the west side of Tianxuan City. If you look down at the entire forest, you will find that the shape of the forest is exactly the shape of a dragon head. There are many monsters in the forest, and ordinary people dare not approach it at all.

But sometimes there are cultivators who step into the forest to hunt monsters to obtain the materials they need, so many cultivators die here every year.

Ye Yu, wearing a black robe, stood in front of the entrance of the forest, staring at the slowly approaching carriage in front of him.

He recognized the carriage, it was the people of the Mu family.

Is it finally here...

Ye Yu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, his eyes filled with an inextinguishable war.

For this day, he has waited too long. He has never slept well in the past few nights. Every time he returned to the room, he began to practice, in order to narrow the gap with Mu Zhian as soon as possible.

And... revenge!

Although he was not sure, Mu Zhian was not a normal Qi training cultivator. He had been drained of his body by beauty in the past two years. As long as he dealt with it calmly and carefully, it would not be a difficult task...

When Ye Yu thought of this, he raised his head again.

A handsome boy jumped off the carriage.

He had black hair and looked a little weak from the outside, giving people a gentle feeling like a boy next door.

However...this was just Mu Zhian's disguise.

This guy was just a useless young master who was addicted to beauty.

No matter how well he disguised himself now, he could not change this fact.

Deal with him calmly, and then step on him...

Ye Yu just had this thought and was about to speak.

But before he could speak, he saw Mu Zhian circled around, came to the other side of the carriage, and stretched out his hand.

In the carriage, a slender white hand gently rested on Mu Zhian's palm, and then she lifted the curtain, stepping on a pair of white cloth boots, her skirt reached her knees, revealing her slender and straight legs like white jade.

The side profile was white and flawless, with two strands of hair gently resting on her face on both sides, and a pair of beautiful eyes like peach blossoms. It was Bai Ruoxi who had made the young talents of Tianxuan City obsessed in the past.

She obviously also noticed Ye Yu's gaze in the distance, but she just glanced at it lightly and then retracted her gaze.

This indifferent attitude hurt Ye Yu's heart even more. From beginning to end, Bai Ruoxi had never given him a good face, but in the past, Bai Ruoxi had never given Mu Zhian a good face either.

However, now she seemed to be humble and pleasing to Mu Zhian, and even let him hold her hand.

Ye Yu's fists clenched quietly, and the anger in his heart was almost uncontrollable. He didn't even notice that his nails were embedded in his palms.

"Mu Zhian!" He finally spoke, staring at Mu Zhian with anger that was hard to conceal.

Well, he seemed anxious... Mu Zhian saw everything, but didn't care.

Let Bai Ruoxi wait near the carriage, and then walked slowly, observing this handsome boy.

In fact, not only Ye Yu, Mu Zhian was also waiting for this day.

Get rid of the "protagonist", the damn "supporting role" on his interface should turn gray or even disappear, right?

But he was not as anxious as Ye Yu.

In the final analysis, he had seen it very openly from the beginning. If the talent and luck of this "protagonist" were really strong and unstoppable, he would just lie down and be done with it.

Anyway, enjoy more when you lie down, enjoy all the things that should be enjoyed first, at least it won't be a waste of this trip.

If he happens to win... that would be even better.

Get rid of Ye Yu, the title of "supporting role" will disappear, and he can become the "protagonist" of the new world.

Relying on the huge resources of the Mu family to advance to the peak of Qi Refining, and then go to Liangyi Sect, you may be able to become an emperor in the future.

Of course, the premise is to ensure that the "protagonist" in front of you can be solved first.

"You came really early." Mu Zhian said with a smile.

Ye Yu stared at Mu Zhian with cold eyes and ignored him.

Mu Zhian looked at the calm and calm appearance of the young man and continued: "I chatted with Ruoxi for a few more words last night, and accidentally a night passed."

Ye Yu's face was dark: "It's just an intimate exchange between a vain woman and a playboy of the Mu family. What does it have to do with me?"

Mu Zhian smiled: "She just doesn't like you, how can she be vain?"

"Could it be that women have to revolve around you?"

"Stop talking so hypocritically. Why did she choose you? Don't you know?" Ye Yu's voice suddenly rose a few degrees.

Mu Zhian shook his head and smiled: "You said before that Miss Bai broke off the engagement and insulted you, but that was a childhood engagement arranged by the previous generation, and she had no choice at all. After breaking off the engagement, pursuing your own feelings became vanity?"

Mu Zhian continued: "Also, Master Ye, you seem to have forgotten what Ruoxi's attitude towards me was at the beginning?"

This chosen son with great luck did not seem to realize that he had any problems. In his opinion, breaking off the engagement was unforgivable, and Bai Ruoxi should marry into the Ye family as a fiancée.

And Bai Ruoxi should not be so cold to him.

In the final analysis, Ye Yu just regarded Bai Ruoxi as his own private property and thought that the world should revolve around him.

He did not think about why Bai Ruoxi would reject him...

"Master Ye, if you beat me today, who would Ruoxi choose?" Mu Zhian killed people and hurt their hearts.

Ye Yu could no longer bear it. The next moment, he took a step forward. Judging from the speed, he was comparable to a cultivator of the second level of Qi training.

If Mu Zhian had not crushed the spiritual energy of tens of thousands of spirit stones last night and took it for himself, facing Ye Yu's amazing speed, it would have been really difficult.

Mu Zhian raised his hand and slapped it in the air, and a wave of air rushed towards Ye Yu.

"Third level of Qi training?!"

A trace of surprise flashed across Ye Yu's eyes, but he did not hold back on the speed of his feet. He accelerated his potential to the extreme and pulled the energy of his fingers.

Clang!

The heavy sword behind him flew out, and he grasped the hilt of the sword and slashed at Mu Zhian.

This attack was unexpected, but Mu Zhian had already been on guard and also drew his sword across his body.

When the sound of the weapons colliding rang out, a wave of air spread out with the two as the center.

The advantage in realm was revealed at this moment. Mu Zhian exuded the pressure that only the Qi training realm had. He pulled the Qi, and the spiritual energy around him turned into several sharp blades and rushed towards Ye Yu.

Ye Yu's face changed slightly, and the Qi of Heaven in his body circulated rapidly. It seemed that a thin film appeared on his body, and those spiritual blades that attacked him were quietly dissolved and quietly drifted between heaven and earth.

Mu Zhian's face showed no emotion, and he did not give Ye Yu a chance to breathe, and swung his sword to cut Ye Yu again.

But Ye Yu's speed was too fast. Whenever Mu Zhian's sword blade was about to hit Ye Yu, his speed would speed up like a ghost and avoid the attack.

Although the spiritual energy of the cultivators in the Qi training realm is much larger than that of the cultivators in the Jing refining realm, Ye Yu avoided several consecutive fierce attacks, and even Mu Zhian was a little overwhelmed.

Bai Ruoxi stood not far away, frowning and looking at this scene, looking at Ye Yu with a little surprise.

Although he is only in the Refining Essence Realm, Ye Yu's body movements and speed... are almost the same as those in the Refining Qi Realm.

Dad is right, Ye Yu is indeed a genius.

However... no matter how talented he is, it has nothing to do with her.

She broke off the engagement not simply because Ye Yu became a waste, but because she didn't like this marriage.

As Ye Yu dodged another sword, Mu Zhian's face became much paler than before.

The price of indulging in beauty in the past is now reflected. After launching several consecutive attacks, Mu Zhian's physical strength was greatly consumed.

Ye Yu was also pale, with sweat on his forehead and heavy breathing. He stared at Mu Zhian and said slowly, "It seems that the cultivators in the Qi training realm are just like this."

"No," Ye Yu shook his head again and said lightly, "You are just exhausted by beauty. If I were fighting a real cultivator in the Qi training realm, it would not be so easy."

The flat tone, coupled with a faint smile that seemed to be a little disdainful, would probably have been angry if an ordinary person had seen it.

However, Mu Zhian still smiled and said, "That's right. In the past, being obsessed with beauty did affect my normal performance."

"And chatting with Ruoxi all night last night did consume too much energy..."

Ye Yu's eyes suddenly widened, and the last sentence completely broke his defense.

The spiritual energy that was almost exhausted actually surged into his body like a rising tide. Mu Zhian looked carefully and saw Ye Yu taking out a pill from his pocket and swallowing it.

Ye Yu raised his head suddenly, and his pale face had regained some redness.

"Master Mu, I forgot to tell you that my other identity... is an alchemist!"

In addition to practicing these days, he also prepared a lot of medicinal materials to refine pills for the battle with Mu Zhian today.

Ye Yu stepped back, and the whole person seemed to turn into a stream of light and attacked Mu Zhian. With a hint of cruelty in his eyes, the heavy sword in his hand mercilessly slashed at Mu Zhian.

Facing the enemy, showing mercy will only leave yourself with greater hidden dangers.

Ye Yu is going to kill him!

In the distance, Bai Ruoxi saw the murderous intent bursting out of Ye Yu. She subconsciously pinched the hem of her skirt and stared at Mu Zhian.

The spiritual energy on her body was surging slowly, and her thin white skirt was gently lifted up with the spiritual energy.

Mu Zhian's condition was too bad now. If he was not stopped, he might really die.

However, at this moment, Bai Ruoxi suddenly noticed something wrong.

Not only Ye Yu, but Mu Zhian's spiritual energy, which had been exhausted, was also slowly recovering, and the recovery speed was much faster than Ye Yu.

Ye Yu's sword was deflected by Mu Zhian's sword.

The two long swords fell to the ground at the same time, and Mu Zhian punched Ye Yu's abdomen. A wave of air penetrated his abdomen, and the leaves of the big tree behind him trembled, startling the birds in the forest.

Ye Yu flew backwards and hit the tree roots behind him heavily.

He spurted out a mouthful of blood, raised his head with difficulty, stared at Mu Zhian in disbelief, but saw that he opened his mouth.

In Mu Zhian's mouth, there was a Huiyuan Pill that had just been refined not long ago.

"Master Ye, since when did you have the illusion that you have a recovery pill?" Mu Zhian said calmly.

Huiyuan Pill? !

Ye Yu covered his chest and stared at Mu Zhian, his eyes full of disbelief.

As an alchemist, he naturally knew the value of Huiyuan Pill. Even the Mu family couldn't find the Beast King Vine... But what Mu Zhian is taking now is Huiyuan Pill? !

Behind him, Bai Ruoxi stepped forward and whispered, "Are you okay?"

Mu Zhian shook his head and said, "I'm a little luckier, I'm okay."

As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Ruoxi again, and stayed on her beautiful face for a moment.

He just thought of something very interesting.

If he hadn't stopped Ye Yu from buying the bronze piece at the auction house that day, would Ye Yu now be able to use the bronze sword?

According to speculation, the bronze sword is very likely to have been passed down by the ancestors of the Bai family.

However, Ye Yu is the chosen son of heaven. Judging from Ye Yu's desire for the bronze piece at that time, he is very likely to be able to activate the power of the bronze piece.

If that were the case, the person standing now would not be Mu Zhian, but Ye Yu.

Because the bronze sword that Bai Ruoxi sacrificed at that time, when there was only one piece, its power was comparable to that of a cultivator at the peak of Qi training. When the two pieces were combined, the destructive power reached that of a cultivator at the realm of refining spirit.

Isn't this the growth-oriented technique exclusively for the 'protagonist'?

Thanks to my being a krypton gold player... No matter how lucky Ye Yu, the seal, is, as long as I have money, I will be the only one who can finally take the bronze piece...

Mu Zhian sighed in his heart, silently watching the boy who got up again and took a few pills.

Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly and said softly: "Enough, Ye Yu. There is no deep hatred between you, there is no need to fight to the death, this competition is over."

"End?"

Ye Yu showed a faint smile on his face, and when he raised his head again, there was a strange luster in his dark eyes.

In the battle with Mu Zhian just now, the old man sleeping in his body was also awakened. As long as he took action, let alone Mu Zhian, even if Mu Zhian and Bai Ruoxi took action together, they would not be his opponent.

Although the old man was seriously injured, his current strength is at least at the level of refining spirit!

"Leave it to you, Master." Ye Yu whispered in his heart.

The old man's laughing voice sounded in Ye Yu's ear, saying: "If I take action, I can't guarantee the safety of the little kid. Have you thought it through?"

Ye Yu had no expression on his face, just nodded in response.

At that moment, a terrifying aura different from the one just now burst out from his body. The pressure of the aura made the monsters in the forest wail in fear, and the sound of birds in the jungle was endless.

Bai Ruoxi frowned and whispered: "Be careful, he is weird..."

Mu Zhian chuckled and said: "It's right to be weird... If he is not weird, I will think it's weird."

After all, he is the chosen one. In this day and age, how can you be called the 'protagonist' without some golden fingers or plug-ins?

However... once the supporting role has IQ, there will be no 1V1 drama of being defeated by the protagonist.

Mu Zhian raised his head and saw Ye Yu standing a distance away from him. He smiled and said, "Changed?"

Ye Yu said slowly, "This is also one of my trump cards. Don't blame me, Master Mu."

As long as Mu Zhian can be dealt with, it is worth it no matter what.

Mu Zhian nodded and agreed, "That's right. Anyway, the result is the most important. As long as you can win, it's enough."

"As for whether the process is cheating, it doesn't matter."

Seeing Ye Yu slowly stepping forward, Mu Zhian suddenly changed his tone and said, "But, Master Ye, haven't you considered one thing?"

Ye Yu paused slightly and frowned. For some reason, he felt uneasy in his heart.

He stared at Mu Zhian expressionlessly, with murderous intent bursting out of his body. He stepped forward and raised his hand to grab Mu Zhian.

Mu Zhian still stood still and said calmly: "Why do you have the illusion that no matter what realm you are in, only enemies of the same realm will bother you?"

"Times have changed, Master Ye."

Almost at the moment when the voice fell, Ye Yu felt an unprecedented sense of crisis coming from mid-air. He looked up suddenly, only to find that a mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat fell from mid-air and threw out a chain.

There was no room for any reaction at all, and the chain quickly bound Ye Yu.

The chain quickly bound Ye Yu, and the dark light completely enveloped Ye Yu in it, as if forming a cocoon.

Then, a ball emitting milky white light slowly floated out of the cocoon.

Heavenly Qi!

"My Heavenly Qi... Who are you? Who are you?!" Ye Yu's terrified roar came from the cocoon. He never thought that his Heavenly Qi would actually run out of his body. It had obviously chosen him, so why did it run out by itself?

"Your Heavenly Qi?"

The black-robed man sneered: "You are just a little more lucky than ordinary people, are you worthy of possessing Heavenly Qi?"

"Heavenly Qi will only choose the people with the best luck. Your luck is very good, but it is only in Tianxuan City."

The black-robed man stretched out a pale hand from his robe and grabbed the Heavenly Qi hanging in the air.

"The person who really should possess the Heavenly Qi should be me."

As if he was stating a fact, the black-robed man's tone was indifferent.

As he reached out, the Heavenly Qi in the shape of a sphere emitted a faint light, as if resisting the black-robed man.

However, the black-robed man seemed to have been prepared. He took out another jade-mouthed bottle and sucked the Heavenly Qi directly into the bottle.

All this happened in a flash, Bai Ruoxi didn't react at all, just looking at this scene, a little stunned.

The black-robed man turned his head to look at the slightly pale boy standing not far away, showed a sneer, and said: "Thank you for your cooperation, Master Mu."

Although his face was still a little pale, Mu Zhian still smiled gently: "This is the reward agreed at the beginning, there is no cooperation or not."

The black-robed man nodded slightly and said: "Master Mu is indeed a trustworthy person."

He changed his voice and continued: "So, I decided to give Master Mu a surprise."

When he said this, the black-robed man's eyes had a hint of cruelty.

"Oh?"

Mu Zhian showed a hint of surprise on his face, puzzled: "Surprise, what is it?"

"The surprise is that Mu Zhian secretly asked Ye Yu to compete in Longshou Forest, but he killed Ye Yu for Bai Ruoxi, raped the daughter of the Bai family, and finally died tragically in a beast tide in Longshou Forest."

The black-robed man said sinisterly.

"...You want to frame me?!" Mu Zhian showed a "fearful" look.

The black-robed man showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth and was about to speak.

At this time, Mu Zhian suddenly changed the subject and said:

"Then I will give you a surprise, how about it?"
