Villain Cultivator

Chapter 230 '“ Battle Royale

"HYAHAHAHAHA! They're at it! They're really duking it out!"

Dong Zhongying had been observing the battle from a distance. He liked what he was seeing since everyone would be weakened after today's battle. It would be even better, if some of the nascent soul experts would be unlucky enough to perish here.

Before this auction had taken place, he had predicted that Xuan City would become a boiling pot of chaos. Thus, he had chosen not to participate in this auction.

Dong Zhongying had warned his granddaughter and son-in-law, but they had insisted on joining the auction. As such, he would let the children experience some pain and life-threatening situations.

Still, the minister didn't forget his priority. He kept texting his secret allies, negotiating for the terms and conditions so that they could help him get rid of his political enemy, the crown prince and the 10 eunuchs.

BEEP

As Dong Zhongying was spectating the battle, his phone vibrated. Someone was calling him.

He picked up the phone, "What?"

[This is me, Zhongying. How is the battle?]

Dong Zhongying glanced at his J-Phone. The caller was shown as "Yuan Shaoqing".

The fat minister snorted, "You should have come to see the fight yourself. Hell, you should have brought the two holy land agents here to help us. We could have finished off Liu Bian and Zhang Rang together."

[I'm busy. I don't have enough time to pay attention to trivial stuff.]

"Yeah, you're busy taking over Myriad Cauldron Sect and Yeet City. You selfish bastard!"

[Hey, no reason for name-calling. I've sent Zhang Junyi there, didn't I?]

"That sissy is fucking useless. I have yet to see him anywhere on the battlefield. He must be hiding somewhere in the city!"

[Oh really? Well, I'll reprimand him later. By the way, have you found an alchemist by the name Ju Shoufen?]

"Ju who?"

[There should be a small old woman somewhere in that area. I owe her a big apology, and I'm actually planning to bring her back to my sect. Have you seen any suspicious core pillar alchemist in the city?]

"I'm busy. I don't have enough time to pay attention to trivial stuff!"

['¦]

"Is that all you want to talk about? I'm cutting the call since I have something else to do."

[Hey, can't you be a bit friendlier? Keeping up that provocative mindset will get you nowhere!]

"No. TALKING with you is getting me nowhere! You can keep playing with pills and Yuan Hua's dildos while this grandpa will take over the imperial court!"

['¦ Right. Good luck with that. Contact me if you have found Ju Shoufen. I'll give you a few beautiful slaves if you do.]

"You should have started with that! Don't worry, your grandpa will drag that Ju-whatever to you on a silver platter! Send me her portrait and the details!"

[Sure. Oh, I almost forgot. Do you know a talented young man by the name Xu Miao or Cao Mao?]

"I know Xu Miao, but I don't know Cao Mao. Who the fuck is that?"

[Xu Miao and Cao Mao are the same person. Well, I'll send you their portraits. Tell me if you find them.]

'¦

After Cao Mao, Mao Xueyan, and Dandan had escaped to the surface, they found themselves a kilometer north of Xuan City, where the battle had been ongoing.

It was a bad location to be in since they had to take a detour to reach Siren City. Also, to the north, Qiang Sui's affiliated city, Tian Hu City, was only 15 kilometers away.

The beast girls were in the middle of their enemy's territory. They were uncomfortable with the situation, and they wanted to get out of there ASAP.

"Let's take a detour to the west, so we can fly above the west coast. If we stick close to the Blood Sea, no one should find trouble with us," Mao Xueyan suggested.

"Won't the haunted spirits or the creatures in the Blood Sea harm us?"

"Ha! Stupid orc, you're naïve! No sea creature or monster showed up when I had fought with Qiang Sui in the sky over the Blood Sea. If they never showed themselves back then, do you think those monsters or ghosts would have the guts to challenge me when we're flying close to the shore, where human cultivators have the advantage? I don't think so!"

"'¦ That's a bad flag, sister. I heard many people say something like this before they got themselves in a catastrophic disaster."

"What flag? Oh, you think I'm a jinx? Ha! Let's make a bet then. If we manage to reach Siren City without being intercepted by a single sea creature, you will have to submit to Tian Long Forest and work as my subordinate!"

Cao Mao snickered. He had never expected to experience a cliché betting scene. Although Cao Mao would have preferred the scene to be a face-slapping one, he didn't mind gambling with Mao Xueyan since he was confident in his bad luck.

"Sure. In return, if we end up running into something along the way'¦"

Cao Mao lewdly grinned. However, instead of targeting Mao Xueyan, he turned toward her sister, "If we run into a monster on our way there, Dandan will serve me as my personal maid!"

"HUH!?"

Mao Xueyan was enraged. Her killing intent soared, "I've already told you a hundred times! STAY AWAY FROM MY SISTER!"

"Ha! Look here, Your 'Majesty'. If you want to gamble, you must put something of an equal value on the stake. We can't call it a bet if it's one-sided, right?"

"YOU CAN ASK ME FOR ANYTHING, BUT NOT MY SISTER!"

"Okay. Then, how about'¦ you? You want me to be your subordinate, right? How about we equalize the stakes. You will become my subordinate if you lose."

"'¦"

Mao Xueyan was taken aback. She opened her mouth, planning to refute. However, she couldn't think of an excuse. However, she also couldn't accept the bet either since she wasn't the type to bow her head to anyone.

Meanwhile, Dandan had been observing the quarrel. She had a better idea, "You know, you two are being silly. In the end, if brother-in-law loses, he will be Sister Xueyan's consort. But if brother-in-law wins, Sister Xueyan will be brother-in-law's concubine. Either case, it will end up with the same outcome."

"WHAT!?" Mao Xueyan widened her eyes and stared at the tall sister, "WHAT CONSORT!? WHAT CONCUBINE!? I'D RATHER DIE THAN HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS DAMN GIGOLO ORC!"

"So, you and brother-in-law are not in a relationship? So, brother-in-law is not my brother-in-law?"

"HE.IS.NOT.YOUR.BRO.THER.IN.LAW!"

"Okay!"

Dandan laughed and dragged Cao Mao toward her bosom. She also shoved his head in between her mountains again, "Then, let me make the bet instead! If we don't meet any monster, this orc brother will be my subordinate. But if we meet anything on our way there, I'll be his subordinate. Now, you don't have to gamble your position anymore."

"YOU!!"

Mao Xueyan wanted to scold her sister for betting on something she shouldn't have. However, Dandan was her only blood relative, and Xueyan didn't want to hurt her.

This cat was a doting sister. She would never do anything to make Dandan sad. On the contrary, Mao Xueyan would spoil the tiger sister whenever she had a chance.

Still, Mao Xueyan was confident that they wouldn't lose the bet. She allowed Dandan to do whatever she wanted.

"Fine. Take responsibility for your action, okay."

"YAY!" Dandan raised her arms high.

"YAY!" Cao Mao also raised his arms high while his face was still buried in between two giant breasts, bigger than his head.

"'¦"

Mao Xueyan paced her breath, controlling her anger. Although her cat face was expressionless, she had been imagining 1,008 methods to slowly torture Cao Mao.

'¦

Mao Xueyan, Cao Mao, and Dandan flew southwest, taking a detour around Xuan City, where the battle was still raging.

Although it was risky, they decided to get closer to check the current situation.

From a 500-meter distance, everyone could see a group of cultivators, throwing skills at the cyclops and their leader in the sky in front of the largest flying carrack battleship. Yet, for some reason, the cultivators were being pushed back, and more attacks from the cyclops' leader began to land on the battleship.

Several warships also provided fire support by unleashing their cannons. However, a familiar-looking Buddha statue avatar was blocking the cannonballs.

On the ground, an army of 4th-stage cultivators was running on all fours, charging at the defenders, who were defending the city on top of the walls. They climbed the battlements as if they were agile zombies, ignoring the oncoming attacks.

One of them reached a defender on the wall. He opened his wide mouth and chomped on the soldier's neck. Then, more zombie-like cultivators got on top of the battlements and started biting the defenders, eating them alive.

Inside the city, a pair of cultivators were also in the middle of combat. They were blinking and chasing each other in a dog fight on the ground, but they were also damaging nearby buildings in the process.

"Wow, it's a mess. I can't tell who's who."

Despite saying that, Cao Mao enjoyed the scene. He could guess that the fighters in front of the carrack battleship were Liu Bian's men while their enemies were Qiang Sui's guys.

Still, it was surprising to see several cyclops go after the prince.

"Let's get the hell out of here before they notice us."

Mao Xueyan didn't want to get involved in a fight between humans and demons. She led the group away from Xuan City.

Dandan and Cao Mao also turned away from the city and headed south.

But then, a loud screech and terrifying presence stopped everyone in their tracks. The killing intent and malicious aura were so sinister that everyone in the city and the trio got goosebumps.

The owners of the cold dark aura had unique air, which surrounded themselves with dark miasma.

It was death Qi!

Moreover, the people inside the death Qi had the cultivation base of someone at the peak-stage nascent soul realm.

Cao Mao, Mao Xueyan, and Dandan had to turn around to look at the source of these scary presences.Â

From the top of Liu Bian's carrack warship, five knights in black plate armor leaped to the sky and scattered, heading toward a different direction in the city.

One of them glanced in Cao Mao's direction, revealing its empty eye sockets and its skull for a moment. Fortunately, it turned away and charged at the general, who was leading the group of cyclops.

A few seconds after these mysterious skeleton knights had appeared, three flying warships with the banners of [Sun] took flight and charged toward Liu Bian's battleship. However, escorting battleships around Liu Bian's flagship changed their courses, turning toward the new warships to intercept.

10 semi-transparent ghost battleships appeared behind [Sun]'s warships. They open-fired at the prince's escort carracks while the latter also counterattacked with their cannons.

The Buddha Statue Avatar's expression also turned ugly as it transformed into a ten-handed giant with 10 different weapons in its hands. More hands appeared out of nowhere to slap the skeleton knights.

The battle got more chaotic and scary. It was not a place for a 4th-stage like Cao Mao to stay around.

"HURRY! WE HAVE TO LEAVE!"

The trio disregarded the chaotic warzone and flew away at their max speed.

As they were heading south, two large groups of cultivators from the city had noticed them. They took flight and chased after Cao Mao and the beast girls!

The first group's leading figure was none other than Fu De. He was leading a company of 30 vampires with him.

The second group was from the Myriad Cauldron Sect. Zhang Junyi brought 10 combat alchemists over.

All flying vampires and alchemists' strength was at least 5th-stage!

While pursuing, Fu De laughed and shouted, "XU MIAO! SURRENDER THE TREASURES AND I SHALL SPARE YOUR LIFE AND TAKE YOU IN AS MY LEGACY DISCIPLE! IF YOU RESIST, I'LL KILL YOU AND RESURRECT YOU INTO A MINDLESS VAMPIRE!"

Zhang Junyi also sent a voice-transmission to Cao Mao, 'Junior Mao, my boss has ordered me to escort you and Ju Shoufen back to the sect. If you're willing to follow us, we'll deal with this vampire clan for you. If not'¦ we'll have to report to our master that you've died in the middle of the chaos!'
