I am the villain in the book

“Boom!!!”

“Bang! Bang bang bang!!”

On the other side, atop Mount Changliu.

Just as Wei Changtian wasn't too worried about the situation here and had already entered the dream realm to practice his swordsmanship, a chaotic scene erupted within the main hall as the phantoms of the white crane and white fox collided.

The remaining six purple fruits suddenly “fell into the trap” and landed in Xu Quan's hands. How could the white-skirted woman not realize that the latter was behind it all? Naturally, she could no longer endure it. Biting her lip, she charged over, determined to tear this “thief” into a million pieces.

Yang Liushi immediately flashed forward to meet her, while shouting loudly to Xu Quan behind her:

“Young Master Xu! You go first!!”

“...”

Undoubtedly, although Yang Liushi knew that Xu Quan was no ordinary martial artist, she still didn't think he could play any role in this level of combat. In fact, staying here would only be a burden to her. Therefore, she immediately told him to quickly escape with the fruits.

However, how could the white-skirted woman let Yang Liushi have her way? She immediately roared angrily at the three men:

“Stop him!”

“Don't let him leave!”

“Yes!!”

The three men finally recovered from their surprise and their expressions instantly became extremely furious.

They were undoubtedly the white-skirted woman's confidants to be guarding here just as these fruits were about to ripen. Therefore, the way they looked at Xu Quan now became ferocious, as if they couldn't wait to swallow him alive.

“Kid! Prepare to die!!”

“Hand over the sacred fruit!!”

“Go to hell!!”

The angry roars echoed within the hall. The three black shadows moved extremely fast, instantly rushing more than ten zhang towards Xu Quan.

These three people, or rather, three demons, although they had not reached the “millennial” threshold of the demon race, they still had several hundred years of cultivation and their strength should not be underestimated.

At the very least, it was more than enough to deal with a human cultivator who had just broken through to the fifth rank. Perhaps they could capture Xu Quan alive in just one exchange.

This strike was not flashy, but it was powerful and heavy, as if it contained a tremendous force capable of destroying mountains.

However, the three men did not dodge or evade. They all roared and chose to directly crash into the fox claw.

“Boom!!”

The three figures in mid-air paused for a moment, and the white fox phantom also trembled violently.

Obviously, this collision was a tie. Neither side could do anything to the other.

It's just that there is still a demon king with a thousand years of cultivation on the opposite side.

“Go!”

With a delicate shout, the white-skirted woman seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the gap when Yang Liushi's attack had just landed, and transformed into a white shadow, piercing towards the latter like a sharp arrow.

Crane wings fluttered, and the vermilion beak was sharp and as fast as lightning.

The white-skirted woman was obviously good at speed, so Yang Liushi didn't have much time to think between the flashes of lightning and flint, and could only subconsciously turn around to resist.

As a result, she could no longer help Xu Quan delay the three men.

“Swish! Swish swish!”

Gathering their strength again, the three men, who had been blocked by Yang Liushi for a moment, ignored the injuries caused by the previous collision and once again pounced fiercely at Xu Quan.

At this time, Yang Liushi had no time to take care of this side, and didn't even have the effort to turn her head to take a look.

But judging from the aura behind her, Xu Quan did not escape, but was still standing in place.

Frowning slightly, Yang Liushi didn't know why Xu Quan didn't leave, and only thought that he wanted to show off his courage, and couldn't help but curse him secretly in her heart.

However, at this moment, a sudden roar suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

“Kneel!!”

“...”

Kneel?

With a stunned expression, Yang Liushi didn't know what Xu Quan was shouting.

However, the next moment, she caught a glimpse of the three figures suddenly stopping in mid-air, and her expression instantly became extremely astonished.

Including the white-skirted woman on the opposite side, was also looking at this strange scene with an unbelievable expression, not understanding what had happened.

It wasn't until a few more breaths passed, when they saw that the three men were actually trembling and kneeling on the ground, that they finally understood what this “kneel” meant.

“How...how is this possible...”

The white-skirted woman's face gradually turned pale, her eyes were a little dazed, and her voice was also a little trembling.

Obviously, she couldn't understand all of this.

Not to mention her, even Yang Liushi couldn't understand it.

Yang Liushi knew that Xu Quan could accurately identify demons and even possessed a supernatural power that could deter demons.

But she never expected that Xu Quan could actually control demons.

In extreme shock, the battle between the two naturally stopped temporarily.

The two women just stared blankly at Xu Quan, watching the latter take a deep breath, raise his head and slowly say:

“Madam, I will handle the matter tonight.”

“...”

Demon Control.

This is Xu Quan's strongest Heavenly Dao supernatural power.

In fact, this supernatural power is quite similar to Tang Chen's “Mind Control Technique”, except that one controls people and the other controls demons.

And “Mind Control” and “Demon Control” differ slightly in their application conditions, in addition to the different targets.

Under normal circumstances, Mind Control Technique can only control people whose realm is lower than the caster.

But Demon Control is much more lenient in this regard. As long as the internal strength is sufficient, it is entirely possible to control demons that are far stronger than oneself.

The reason for this may be because “human hearts are more complex than demon hearts”, or it may be because the “operating principles” of the two supernatural powers are different.

In short, no matter what the reason, Xu Quan has now temporarily controlled the three men on the opposite side and declared that he will handle the matter tonight.

And Yang Liushi actually nodded after hearing his words.

“Okay, Young Master Xu, you can do whatever you want.”

She took a deep look at Xu Quan, and then silently walked to the side.

It can be seen that Yang Liushi's impression of Xu Quan has undergone a great change, so she is now willing to listen to the latter's arrangements.

And Xu Quan didn't waste any more words. After saying “Thank you, Madam”, he turned his head to look at the white-skirted woman on the opposite side with a dazed expression.

“Demon King, I took the first sacred fruit, and I can no longer return it to you.”

“But whether you believe it or not, we didn't come here tonight for these sacred fruits.”

“We didn't even know what happened on Mount Changliu half an hour ago...”

Looking directly into the white-skirted woman's eyes, Xu Quan's tone was extremely sincere.

In fact, it is not difficult to see from his face that he is also trying his best to maintain it, after all, the mental strength and internal strength consumed by controlling three great demons at the same time is definitely not small.

But Xu Quan's expression was still calm, without the slightest trace of panic.

“Demon King, I have no intention of forming a grudge with you.”

“I think you should also understand that if we continue to fight, it will be harmful to both you and me.”

“Why don't we sit down and talk?”

“...”

The hall was silent, with no sound except Xu Quan's voice.

He didn't threaten with “killing people” or “destroying the sacred fruit”, but sincerely wanted to talk to the white-skirted woman.

After listening, the latter was silent for a long time before replying coldly:

“You return the remaining six sacred fruits to this king first, and then this king will talk to you.”

“No problem, I have no intention of encroaching on the treasures of your mountain.”

Xu Quan nodded, and took the six purple fruits in his hand while speaking.

However, just as the white-skirted woman was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he changed the subject and added lightly:

“But I can only return four.”

“Sorry.”
