read My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 775

When the avatar appeared, Nie Chi and the green-clad cultivators widened their eyes in shock.

“This is…”

The avatar had nine heads. The heads looked fierce like red dragons and serpents that were brandishing their claws and baring their fangs.

“Nine Infants?” Nie Chi flipped backward. A hint of fear could be seen in his eyes.

That was an avatar with nine serpent heads. Five of the heads bared their fangs and lunged at the cultivators.

The miniature avatars in the dojo were like red delicious meals that entered the Nine Infants’ mouth.

“Ahh!”

The cultivators’ miserable cry rang in the air.

Inside the Absolute Heaven Formation, the strength of the 30 cultivators from the Twelve Sects of Cloud Mountain was reduced to that of a child. Every one of them became prey. How difficult could it be for the Nine Infants to devour 30 buns? It was as difficult as lifting one’s arm.

Nie Chi was still in shock.

The Absolute Heaven Formation was no ordinary Formation. Apart from weakening opponents and strengthening its user, it also blocked sounds and sight.

Ye Zhen had never liked people approaching or entering the dojo. In recent years, he merely recruited one disciple to attend to his meals and living.

Jiang Xiaosheng had a good understanding of his master’s temper, and he lived up to his master’s expectations. Although he performed well under his master’s strict requirements, he would still be punished. At this moment, he was waiting outside the dojo, unable to hear and see what was going on inside.

The disciples on Lofty Steep Mountain knew the rules of the five-story courtyard at the middle peak. Therefore, no one would visit at a time like this. Regardless, Jiang Xiaosheng was standing guard outside, on a lookout for clueless visitors.

Inside the dojo, the battle seemed to be winding down after the initial chaos and commotion.

Nie Chi’s eyeballs looked as though they were going to pop out of their sockets as he stared at the Nine Infants avatar baring their fangs. He was petrified; he fell to his knees and shook uncontrollably.

“Y-you… You’re a foreign tribesman?”

Ye Zhen’s expression remained unchanged. He sat cross-legged before the ‘ru’ character.

The others, apart from Nie Chi, were dead.

Ye Zhen sighed softly before he said, “Unfortunately, you chose the wrong path.”

The largest head, the one in the middle, lunged at Nie Chi.

Crack!

Ye Zhen waved his hand.

The Nine Infants avatar retreated to his side immediately.

He looked at the Nine Infants avatar’s five heads as he muttered to himself, “Although they aren’t as delicious as Nine-leaf cultivators, 30 Nascent Divinity realm cultivators are enough.”

He waved his arm again. A ring of script energy seals appeared and descended on the Nine Infants avatar. In just a moment, one of the drooping heads slowly lifted. A red light shrouded it, and just like that, there were six upright heads.

The Nine Infants avatar slowly spun before it reverted to its humanoid forms.

The nine leaves on the red lotus shone brightly; the broken leaf was no longer wilted as well.

“Three more heads…” Ye Zhen clenched his fist.

The avatar disappeared.

He wore a regretful expression on his face as he muttered, “Oh, Meng Changdong. Perhaps, I’ve been too merciful.”

…

Meanwhile, in the golden lotus domain.

The golden lotus domain was being harassed by beasts. This was the case for Yi Province as well.

At a relay station.

“Ever since human cultivators in Great Yan began to attempt the Nine-leaf stage, the beasts are getting more and more aggressive. The Sect Master of the Tian Sect, Nan Gongwei, has been going around supporting as many people as he can after he became a Nine-leaf cultivator. The Evil Sky Pavilion’s Mister Fourth wielded a desolate-grade weapon and threw caution to the wind as he lured the huge beasts away. How impressive!” a cultivator said loudly.

“We’ll just have to endure these tough times. When there are more Nine-leaf cultivators, the beasts will no longer be such a big problem,” someone chimed in.

“That’s right. The Evil Sky Pavilion has sent Miss Sixth to look after Yi Province… Great Yan will surely survive this.”

At this moment, someone shouted outside of the relay station, “The beasts are here again!”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The cultivators at the relay station took flight and headed toward the city walls.

Meanwhile, in front of the main city, a figure clad in white robes who seemed detached from worldly attachments descended on the city wall as he looked at the beasts in the sky. This person had been guarding this place for days.

Ever since the beasts began to harass human cities, Si Wuya had put several measures in place. For example, Nine-leaf cultivators would be mobile reinforcements to make full use of their combat powers. Meanwhile, Eight-leaf cultivators were tasked to look after the cities and protect the barriers without engaging the beasts. This measure worked extremely well.

Ye Tianxin was one such Eight-leaf cultivator who was tasked with protecting the city and its barrier.

As Ye Tianxin looked at the flying beasts in the skies, many cultivators gathered behind her.

“Greetings, Miss Sixth.”

Ye Tianxin’s eyes flashed for a moment before she nodded and lightly said, “Hello.”

“Miss Sixth, that looks like a huge beast!” someone said worriedly.

“Don’t worry. Act according to the plan. All we have to do is stall for time and prevent it from damaging the barrier while we wait for Nine-leaf cultivators to arrive,” Ye Tianxin said as she looked at the horizon.

Indeed, an eye-catching huge beast could be seen in the distance, flying among the smaller beasts toward the barrier.

“Kill them.”

The garrison cultivators took flight and killed the beasts.

The smaller beasts were nothing to be afraid of.

Since the information of beasts dropping life hearts became public, cultivators were rather enthusiastic about killing beasts. After all, even a small life heart was extremely precious.

At this moment, a flying beast with a wingspan of dozens of meters charged toward the city.

Ye Tianxin was puzzled. ‘Is there a Nine-leaf cultivator in Yi Province?’

Bam!

The huge beast’s attacks were not something ordinary cultivators could withstand. They retreated as ripples appeared in the sky.

Sheng Yu’s body was completely red. It resembled a mountain chicken and had the cry of a deer.

Despite the temperature, the cultivators shivered as they looked at it.

“Stay inside the barrier. I’ll deal with it.” Ye Tianxin leaped out, drawing a white arc in the sky. She wielded the Amorous Hoop, leaving ripples in her wake.

Boom!

She cast the Blue Wave Technique, and a tidal wave of energy struck Sheng Yu.

Sheng Yu screeched as several of its feathers fell.

“As expected of the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Miss Sixth!”

“It’s unbelievable that an Eight-leaf cultivator possesses such strength.”

In the eyes of outsiders, Eight-leaf cultivators from the Evil Sky Pavilion were always more powerful than their peers.

Ye Tianxin withdrew her Amorous Hoop and looked at Sheng Yu.

After feeling the pain from the attack, Sheng Yu flew higher and higher up in the sky.

“Miss Sixth, duck!”

Although Ye Tianxin was an extraordinary Eight-leaf cultivator, it was almost impossible for her to win against a huge beast.

Ye Tianxin retreated as a wave of energy surged.

The Amorous Hoop spun above the wave of energy.

Sheng Yu suddenly stopped and let out a deafening screech that resounded in the entire city.

Many cultivators could not withstand the impact and plummeted from the sky. Meanwhile, the low-rank cultivators on the ground were bleeding profusely from their eyes.

“Fall back!”

Ye Tianxin understood the situation they were in; it was dire. She looked up and said, “I’ll stall it. The rest of you, kill the smaller beasts.”

“Understood.”

Ye Tianxin was skilled and bold. She flew out of the barrier.

Meanwhile, Sheng Yu’s attention seemed to be focused on Ye Tianxin. Perhaps, it was because she hurt it earlier. It flapped its wings wildly as it flew toward Ye Tianxin. Its sharp beak and claws glowed with a red light. It screeched again.

The cultivators in the vicinity felt their scalps tingle and their blood essence boil.

Someone shouted, “Call for help! Miss Sixth won’t be able to hold out for long!”

“Nine-leaf cultivators would need, at least, an hour to arrive in this place on the flying chariot. We have to do something to stall for time until then!”

The Nascent Divinity cultivators in Yi Province City flew over.

Humans were unprecedentedly united in dealing with the beasts.

Soon after, there were 100 cultivators gathered on the city walls.

The cultivators with cultivation bases at or below the Divine Court realm were tasked with dealing with the smaller beasts.

On the other hand, the Nascent Divinity cultivators arranged themselves in a huge phalanx as they shot toward Yu Sheng.

“Miss Sixth, we’re coming!”

The cultivators unleashed their power as they charged toward Sheng Yu.

Energy sabers, palm seals, and energy swords swept toward the huge beast like a tidal wave.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Ye Tianxin had no time to catch her breath as she flew up again.

Sheng Yu screeched again.

The phalanx of Nascent Divinity realm cultivators activated their protective energies and blocked the sound wave.

Ye Tianxin activated her avatar.

A slender female Eight-leaf golden lotus avatar stood proudly in the air.

She projected her voice and said, “We’re too close to the city. I’ll lure it away.”

Sheng Yu stared at Ye Tianxin intently as though it was looking at a delicious meal before it frantically chased after her.

“This is bad! It’s going after Miss Sixth!”

“Look at Miss Sixth’s golden lotus.”

The eight golden lotus leaves were full and dazzling. They spun as though the ninth leaf was sprouting.

Since Sheng Yu was a flying beast, its speed in the air was naturally shocking. Every time it flapped its wings, it would stir up a gale.

Ye Tianxin flew away from the city. In just a blink of an eye, she was already more than 10 miles away from the city.

The 100 Nascent Divinity cultivators dared not scatter. They maintained their formation as they gave chase.

Sheng Yu was too fast. It did not take long before it caught up to Ye Tianxin. It swiped at her Eight-leaf avatar with its claws.

The 100-feet avatar was only half the size of Sheng Yu.

Boom!

Ye Tianxin grunted as she fell. She nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The others exclaimed in shock.

“Protect Miss Sixth!”

“Go!”

The 100 cultivators approached the beast. All of them manifested their avatars at this moment. Avatars with one leaf to seven leaves formed a wall in the sky. It was an impressive sight.

When Ye Tianxin descended, she felt her heart stir slightly when she saw the wall of avatars.

There were many things in the world that required immediate actions, leaving no time for people to be cautious.

Boom!

Sheng Yu’s feathers were ruffled as it flapped its wings and screeched.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The avatars were sent flying, and the cultivators spat out blood from the backlash. These 100 cultivators were no match for Sheng Yu at all.

Ye Tianxin’s frown deepened. She fought back the pain as she looked at the others. After a beat, she manifested her avatar again after she flew up into the sky.

Strangely, after she manifested her avatar, Sheng Yu seemed to ignore her. Instead, it continued charging toward the other cultivators’ avatars.

More cultivators were injured when their avatars were attacked by Sheng Yu.

Ye Tianxin’s heart sank. She gritted her teeth and channeled more power into her golden lotus. The golden lotus spun along with its eight leaves as its aura leaked out.

As expected, Sheng Yu turned around.

“Fall back! Don’t follow me! I’ll lure it away!” Ye Tianxin cried out as she flew to the side.

Realization dawned on the others at this moment. With this realization, complicated feelings arose in their hearts.

“She’s going to sprout a leaf now? Is she crazy?”

“Miss Sixth is trying to lure the huge beast away with the aura of a Nine-leaf cultivator…”

“She’ll certainly die!”

The cultivators gathered again. They felt conflicted.

“Are you afraid of dying?”

“Not at all! If I was, I would be hiding in the city right now.”

“In that case, let’s carry on!”

“Let’s go!”

Although they were injured, they did not retreat. They fell into formation and gave chase.

…

Ye Tianxin flew at top speed as she tried to lure Sheng Yu away. When she judged that they were far enough from the city, she prepared to retract her avatar. Alas, things were not as simple as she had imagined. Her heart sank when she discovered she could not retract her avatar, and the golden lotus was picking up speed as it spun.
