After becoming the villain

Chapter 237 "Cheng Huanian goes south" and "Earth Demon inheritance"

Although Qin Shumian's strength was unexpected to Niu Da, after all, he had only been practicing martial arts for a short period of time, so he could not possibly be an opponent of demon sect masters like Niu Da.

The stronger the cow becomes, the braver it becomes.

When Niu Er saw this in the distance, he didn't want to keep watching them fight here.

"Protector Lu has ordered us to resolve the battle as soon as possible."

Niu Er said to himself, then quickly took the knife and sneaked away.

When Qin Shumian's spiritual sense sensed the threat behind him, Niu Da in front of him was chopped down with a single knife.

Qin Shumian knew that his life might end here.

When he was about to die, the figure of that person from the past, the prince of the North, kept reappearing in his mind.

Suddenly, she didn't want to die anymore...

She opened her eyes suddenly and used high-level martial arts at full speed. The blade of the sword shone brightly and she extended the sword in an attempt to push back the beast in front of her.

At the same time, he uses light skills to fight the consequences of serious injuries, so that the sneak attack of the enemy behind him can be far away from the vital point.

Knife light flickered.

A life and death crisis.

In the midst of lightning and flint, Qin Shumian's long sword pierced Niu Da's chest. Emei's powerful martial arts even sent out a sword energy that directly penetrated Niu Da's mountain-like body.

And Niu Da's long knife strangely stopped in mid-air.

The only difference is that he can chop Qin Shumian's head.

The attack from Niu Er behind him has arrived.

Qin Shumian dodged, but he was afraid that he would be seriously injured.

At the critical moment, a tall figure appeared and blocked Niu Er's attack with his sword, causing Niu Er's attack to deflect instantly and saving Qin Shumian.

Qin Shumian was a little surprised, and she looked at the man secretly.

Even though the man was wearing a mask with a shadow, his familiar figure and familiar temperament made Qin Shumian's eyes slightly open...

At the same time, more than ten masters of the Shadow Sect fell from the sky.

Instantly launched a surprise attack on everyone in the Demon Cult.

The Shadow Brass Sect was already better at concealing assassinations, but the masters of the Demon Cult were completely unprepared, and most of them died instantly.

The situation reversed in an instant.

Upon seeing this, Niu Er immediately drew his knife and retreated, keeping a safe distance from the enemy.

He saw that his brother Niu Da had been killed by that woman.

And the long knife in the elder brother's hand was blocked in the air by the enemy with a hanging wire.

In front of him, there were many more people wearing scary masks and dark uniforms. These were all dressed up by Shadow Brave Sect masters.

Niu Er's eyes are about to split.

He pointed his blade at the leader who had just intercepted his attack, and shouted angrily——

"People of the Shadow Sect, I, the Fire God Sect, have no grudges or enmities with you. We were even more allies in the past. It's fine if you don't help us. Why do you want to use swords against us instead!"

The leader who was scolded by Niu Er was naturally Yan Wulu.

Yan Wulu ignored Niu Er, but glanced at Qin Shumian beside him, and asked with concern——

"Miss Qin, are you not injured?"

Qin Shumian almost blurted out the familiar voice like a guzheng...

"His Royal Highness? Is it you?"

Qin Shumian still didn't dare to believe his own judgment.

She couldn't believe why Prince Zhenbei appeared in the Western Regions?And why is he dressed in a uniform and mask?

"It seems that we haven't seen each other for so long that Miss Qin can't remember Wu Lu clearly."

Yan Wulu has a sense of humor.

Qin Shumian was speechless at once - he was wearing a terrifying mask that covered his whole face, and he was also wearing Yingshamen clothes, so it was easy for people to make unclear decisions!
But even though she was complaining in her heart, Qin Shumian still thanked her very excitedly——

"Thank you, Your Highness, for coming to the rescue."

Seeing that these two people were talking and laughing, Niu Er, who had been ignored in the distance, suddenly jumped in anger.

He murmured to himself—

"He kills people again and doesn't listen to anyone!"

"...The local Yingshamen are so rude!!!"

Niu Er raised his sword and shouted loudly——

"People from the Shadow Shamen, I'm talking to you! I worship the Vulcan Cult and have no grudges against you, why are you dealing with us?!"

"...Don't you think it's too shameless for you to do this?"

Yan Wulu heard the sound and slowly looked at Niu Er.

He was thinking that he was being scolded by the people of the Demon Cult for being shameless.

It seems that I am indeed quite bad and quite shameless...

"It is true that I have no grudges against your Pope, but since you appear here, I have some personal grudges against you."

When Qin Shumian on the side heard this, he couldn't help but think to himself - appearing here?Personal vendetta?
Could it be that the prince had a grudge against him because the other party wanted to kill him here?

For a moment, Qin Shumian couldn't help but blushed...

She remembered that the prince had helped her many times without asking for anything in return. Now that she thought about it, she had always been a little dull.

Niu Er was also extremely angry.

He wanted to step forward and kill this bastard, but... as soon as he hit him, he knew that he was no match for him.

Seeing that the rest of his subordinates were about to die at the hands of the Shadow Brave Sect, Niu Er ignored him and laughed loudly -

"Hahahaha, our Lord Protector Lu has already anticipated this."

"He had known for a long time that reinforcements from your Wulin Alliance were coming, but... he didn't expect that there would be so many people."

The second half of Niu Er's sentence lacked confidence, and his words were even a little funny.

"...However, even if it is a pot of raw rice, I, Niu Er, can only eat it!"

Niu Er said that, he took out a flying fire beam from somewhere and immediately triggered the flying fire signal in his hand.

Beautiful signals like fireworks spread across the sky.

As a direct disciple of the head of the Emei Sect, Qin Shumian had fought many times with members of the Demon Sect, and he reacted immediately.

"He has an ambush!"

"Master Protector Lu, you have already set up an ambush around here. You... just wait to die!"

Niu Er said harshly.

Yan Wulu was a little curious...

"Even so, by the time your ambush reinforcements arrive, won't you have already died in my hands?"

Yan Wulu said as he slowly stepped forward.

Niu Er suddenly sweated like rain...

Yes, Protector Lu didn't expect that we wouldn't be able to win here. The rest of the brothers were still far away.

...I have no choice but to hold on!

"Life and death are trivial matters, so why not be afraid!"

Niu Er shouted loudly.

He waved his sword and stepped forward to fight Yan Wulu.

Niu Er fought hard...

But I have to admit that Niu Er is indeed the right-hand man of Lu Minghui, the right protector of the Demon Cult. He has a strong will to fight and is very resistant to fighting.

Every time he was knocked down by Yan Wulu with one move, he would immediately get up and continue to fight!
Niu Er was knocked down again, and his long knife had been completely cut off by Yan Wulu.

"You are no match for me." Yan Wulu said with a strange and inexplicable smile.

Niu Er dropped his knife and raised his fist, panting and said——

"I could fight you like this all day."

Yan Wulu was stunned, and suddenly thought of the captain of a certain country...

Then wouldn’t he really be the villain?

Niu Er was secretly thinking, hoping that the other party would "fool" him for a while longer, and his reinforcements would arrive soon!
Qin Shumian held his sword and looked around. He saw that the battlefields everywhere had come to an end, and only the masters of the Demon Cult were left in front of him.

Qin Shumian reminded aloud: "Your Highness, the rest of the demon sect's followers are dead. Kill him. I'm afraid the demon sect's reinforcements are about to arrive."

When Niu Er heard this, his face turned pale - women are prone to bad things!
"rest assured."

Yan Wulu seemed very relaxed and indifferent, "The Demon Sect has reinforcements, don't I have them?"

While talking, corpses were suddenly dropped from the top of the cliff.

Niu Er was immediately stunned.

These corpses are all demon sect masters placed around by Lu Minghui...

"Why, they're all dead?" Niu Er secretly exclaimed.

The remaining martial arts alliance knights and shadow brake sect masters were also a little surprised.

Everyone looked towards the top of the cliff...

All he saw was a dark, luxurious and exquisite uniform, with a gauze crown on top, and the Shadow Blade's unique "Shadow Blade" mark embroidered on the clothing, giving the uniform a sense of darkness and menace, making it even more heroic and beautiful.

It's Zhang Chunhua!

To be precise, it was a group of shadow brake sect masters led by Zhang Chunhua who came here.

Qin Shumian was a little surprised...

Looking more closely, I actually found the figures of Li Mieling, Nan Chuanyue and other old acquaintances in the team on the top of the cliff.

When Niu Er saw this, he immediately felt like a deflated pufferfish...

His eyes were lifeless, and he fell under the dagger of a master from Yiying Shamen.

……

Yan Wulu was not surprised by the arrival of reinforcements.

Yan Wulu knew that if Zhang Chunhua wanted to come here, she would definitely find a reason to come.

But he was still a little curious, why did Li Mieling and Nan Chuanyue appear here?

The battle is over.

Li Mieling, Nan Chuanyue and others came to the bottom of the canyon.

Yan Wulu looked at the two of them and asked -

"Mie Ling, Xiao Yue, aren't you in the North? Why are you here in the Western Region too?"

"Brother-in-law, it's General Zhu Gongqi and Lao Ye, they asked us to send you a letter."

"What letter? Are you so urgent?"

"Um……"

Nanchuan Yue took over the conversation and said with some tangle -

"...Actually, it should be regarded as an oral message. And there are two news, one good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first, Master?"

"Listen to the good news first."

"The good news is that Senior Medical Saint, the female mountain master of Shennong Mountain, Miss Zhao Linglong and others have worked together to develop the first stage of anti-inflammatory drugs. Sword Master Junxing can now freely enter and leave the Snow Valley."

"The bad news is..." Nan Chuanyue said, pausing for a while.

When Li Mieling saw this, he directly continued -

"The bad news is that Cheng Huanian rebelled."

"Huh? What!" Yan Wulu was a little in disbelief.

Li Mieling explained in detail——

"In the early morning of the day before yesterday, Cheng Huanian suddenly went south with his [-] 'White Horse Yicon' without any military orders or any statement."

"...We are worried that Cheng Huanian may have the idea of ​​joining the Daqian court, but that's not necessarily the case."

"Lao Ye had already personally led his men to pursue him at that time. General Zhu Gongqi and several other generals are currently guarding the North."

"... I and a few others know that my brother-in-law is in the Western Region, so we were ordered to report the news at starry night."

Li Mieling said a series of words.

In fact, they also arrived at the Yingshamen headquarters first, met Zhang Chunhua, and then said that they had an urgent secret message that needed to be forwarded to the prince.

Therefore, Zhang Chunhua personally brought them here.

Yan Wulu carefully analyzed the content of Li Mieling's words.

"The Zhenbei Army cannot leave the North at will without the emperor's order."

"...Why did Cheng Huanian suddenly lead his army south? Ten thousand "white horse followers", this is top-notch combat power."

"It's a very strange behavior, but it doesn't directly mean that he has rebelled."

"One is that he has no motive, and the other is that it would be more valuable if he stayed in the North quietly just to seek refuge with the Daqian court."

"I'm thinking……"

As Yan Wulu said, the topic changed suddenly, "...Did the father read some secret order to Cheng Hua, asking him to bring ten thousand 'white horses' to go south to meet him?"

"What my brother-in-law said is indeed more reasonable than the speculations of General Zhu Gongqi and others."

Li Mieling agreed.

Yan Wulu, on the other hand, directly made a decision——

"I believe in General Cheng Huanian. He must have his reasons for leading his troops south."

"No matter what, I will return to the North to handle this matter personally."

"...But the most important thing at the moment is to resolve the matters involving Lu Minghui and Kunlun first."

……

Yan Wulu left some people to clean up the battlefield in the canyon and comfort the injured members of the Wulin Alliance.

He led the remaining masters of the Shadow Brake Sect to pursue the direction Lu Minghui had left.

Among the shadow brake sect masters, the one who was very familiar with the "Devil Heritage Ceremony" mentioned it to Yan Wulu again before he started to save people -

These ancient demon inheritance rituals cannot be stopped casually in the second half, otherwise they will suffer backlash and will surely die.

Therefore, Yan Wulu deliberately let Lu Minghui go, waiting for the right opportunity.

When he was halfway through the ceremony, I went to kill him!

Lu Minghui must be prevented from obtaining the Earth Demon inheritance.

Yan Wulu thought in his mind, speeding up his movement.

On the road, they caught up with the master of the Demon Cult who had followed Lu Minghui.

They were defeated in a few battles, and a few of them were left alive, allowing these people to take them to the Earth Demon Ruins in the Kunlun Mountains.

This is a cave.

Naturally formed.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the cave, the few masters of the Demon Cult who had been captured alive by the Shadow Sect did not hesitate to use methods such as cutting off their arms and self-mutilation to break free from the shackles and control of the Shadow Sect masters.

They fled toward the cave entrance, sounding warning whistles.

The man-made whistle spreads widely with the blessing of internal force.

In an instant, a large group of demon sect members came out of the cave...

Yan Wulu bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot several demon sect masters who fled towards the cave entrance, and then coldly ordered——

"Kill in."

Because he was worried about Lu Minghui escaping, he was also worried that there would be other demon sect reinforcements around.

Yan Wulu took the lead, rushing through the melee at the entrance of the cave and entering directly into the cave.

His "Blue Sea Clone Technique" flashed several times, and he had already arrived at the most spacious central place in the cave...

Here, Lu Minghui is carrying out his demon inheritance ceremony.

"Yan Wulu?"

Lu Minghui said and chuckled a few times, "I didn't expect you to show up in Kunlun."

"...That's fine, it saves me having to look for you again."

Lu Minghui said harsh words.

But he didn't stop the ritual in his hands...

Yan Wulu knew in his heart that he came at the right time.

Lu Minghui's Earth Demon Ritual has reached a critical step.

It cannot be stopped easily.

Yan Wulu stepped forward with his sword in hand.

Lu Minghui suddenly said, "Kill him!"

Several masters of the Demon Cult appeared from the darkness in the cave. They seemed to be extremely skilled in the shadow series of techniques.

They held all kinds of weird and unseen hook-and-lock weapons in their hands, which made Yan Wulu feel a little troublesome for a while.

In the melee, a voice came -

"Don't hurt my master!"
