I, the Ruthless Villain, Strangled My Fiancée at the Beginning and Left the Protagonists Terrified Chapter 97
BOOM!
The explosion was deafening.
The bullet from the Duke of Destruction roared toward Ye Qingfeng. In that instant, his entire body sounded an internal alarm. True energy surged out to protect him, and he instantly activated his supernatural ability—his body was coated in unbreakable gray scales.
He thought he could block it.
But the moment the bullet struck, Ye Qingfeng realized how wrong he was.
It felt like being hit by a cannonball.
He was sent flying backward, slamming into the villa wall. The wall crumbled instantly.
There was no time to recover.
Shen Wuxiao fired again.
He managed to find cover and looked down at his abdomen—cold sweat drenched his entire body.
“How could a bullet, even with true energy infused, possibly…”
A huge, gaping wound had opened up in his abdomen. His supernatural power was destroyed, the scales shattered, and blood and flesh were exposed. The damage was so deep that his internal organs were visible.
If not for his body’s ability to buffer part of the damage, his insides would have been completely obliterated.
He was that close to death.
That single shot carried the force of a ninth-grade master.
Even with his terrifying defense, Ye Qingfeng was gravely injured just to survive the impact.
If the second bullet had landed, he had no doubt—he would have died.
[Ding! Ye Qingfeng is seriously injured, points +50,000]
[Plundered Ye Qingfeng’s luck, points +30,000]
[Induced extreme fear in Ye Qingfeng, points +30,000]
Shen Wuxiao was pleased. One strike had earned him 110,000 points.
But killing him… that would be worth even more.
“Tongzi, generate a mission—kill the Mad Dragon God of War!”
[Ding! Mission in progress…]
[Mission released: Kill the Mad Dragon God of War. Completion rewards: 2,000,000 points, one mysterious gift box, and a bonus point reward]
[Mission duration: Unlimited. Ends upon completion.]
A bloodthirsty light gleamed in Shen Wuxiao’s eyes.
Power surged through him, untamed and wild.
The full aura of an Eighth-grade, Ninth-level Grandmaster exploded from his body.
Everyone on Shen Wuxiao’s side was stunned.
The young master… was terrifying!
Jiang Huaiyue was speechless.
He had only been at Sixth-level, Fifth-rank before. After dual-cultivation with her, he reached Eighth-rank… but this?
How had he improved so fast?
She had advanced quickly herself, nearing the Sixth-level now. But his growth was just too exaggerated.
Looks like their dual cultivation was really effective. When they got back, she’d have to “cultivate” with that scoundrel at least five times a day.
She also needed to secure his affection. There weren’t many women around him yet. If more came in the future, she’d have to be the one to manage the sisterhood.
Yes—she’d take over the kitchen when they returned… it seemed like a proper move!
Shen Wuxiao charged into the villa, and his warriors followed closely.
Jiang Huaiyue couldn’t stay out of it anymore.
The earlier bombardment was over. Now, it was a real battle between martial artists.
She stepped forward. Her true energy flared, and her aura surged.
With a graceful flick of her hand, she drew her soft sword. It flashed with a cold gleam and buzzed with killing intent as she swung it.
She aimed straight for Suzaku—another female warrior.
Inside the villa, Shen Wuxiao’s overwhelming pressure was unstoppable.
Ye Qingfeng’s remaining guards chose to fight to the death. One by one, they roared and charged at Shen Wuxiao’s men.
Shen Wuxiao didn’t bother with the small fry.
He charged straight toward Ye Qingfeng.
Though seriously injured, Ye Qingfeng was still the protagonist.
His explosive strength was frightening.
In the blink of an eye, he faced off against Shen Wuxiao.
Their clash was thunderous and overwhelming.
“The sky shall fall! The earth shall split!”
Ye Qingfeng’s bloodshot eyes burned with fury as his fists surged with true energy.
The punch carried enough power to shake heaven and earth. The energy rumbled like a natural disaster.
But Shen Wuxiao didn’t flinch.
He met it head-on.
Their fists collided with a deafening boom. A shockwave burst out from them, blowing nearby corpses several meters away. Everything around them was obliterated.
The villa shook violently, ready to collapse at any moment.
Ye Qingfeng unleashed his full might—but the gap between their realms couldn’t be bridged.
He spat blood.
As he tried to retreat, Shen Wuxiao shifted from fist to claw, grabbed his wrist, and slammed his knee upward.
Crack!
The sound of bones snapping echoed.
“Arghhh!”
Ye Qingfeng cried out, his arm bent at an unnatural angle. Shen Wuxiao sneered, ready to rip his arm off completely.
But Ye Qingfeng had seen enough battles to understand.
If he lost that arm, he’d be done.
He roared, shaking the entire villa.
It was the [Mad Dragon’s Roar]—his self-created sonic skill, channeled through screaming.
Shen Wuxiao’s men staggered, their heads spinning. But Shen Wuxiao remained unaffected.
Though he failed to rip the arm off, he shifted tactics—his claw gripped Ye Qingfeng’s supernatural scales.
With terrifying force, he ripped them away.
Ka-ka-ka!
It sounded like peeling armor from a living creature.
Ye Qingfeng wailed in agony.
From his shoulder to his elbow, the scales tore off, leaving a trail of blood.
Shen Wuxiao didn’t let up. He punched Ye Qingfeng in the abdomen, then raised his elbow and smashed it into his chin.
Puff…
Blood spurted from Ye Qingfeng’s mouth, painting an arc in the air.
He flew backward, slamming into the ground.
But he didn’t stay down.
He rolled over and rushed forward again, refusing to fall.
“Qing Long! Suzaku! Get the boss out of here!” Bai Hu suddenly roared as he threw himself at Shen Wuxiao.
He was buying time.
Even if it was suicide—he had to try.
Bai Hu was the embodiment of fury. His battle aura before death was immense.
He also had a secret technique that could temporarily boost his strength.
He charged like a mad beast. But Shen Wuxiao turned and kicked him aside.
Still, Bai Hu rose immediately and lunged again.
Qing Long and Suzaku broke from combat and ran toward Ye Qingfeng, lifting him by his arms.
“Boss, this is meaningless! You’re no good to anyone dead! Live, so you can avenge our brothers!”
Ye Qingfeng, burning with rage, didn’t listen. He wanted to keep fighting.
“Boss, think of Tuantuan! She’s only five!”
Suzaku’s words finally broke through.
Ye Qingfeng froze.
“…Go!”
Qing Long and Suzaku carried Ye Qingfeng and fled.
But Bai Hu couldn’t stop Shen Wuxiao.
Just two punches were enough to kill him.
Seeing Bai Hu fall, Suzaku shouted, “Take the boss and run! I’ll hold him!”
Then, without hesitation, she charged at Shen Wuxiao.
Ye Qingfeng could only watch in grief. He knew he couldn’t die—not now. Otherwise, everything would be lost.
With great pain in his heart, he watched as two of his most loyal comrades sacrificed themselves.
He had broken the vow they once swore: live and die together.
Qing Long and Ye Qingfeng escaped the villa.
Ye Qingfeng didn’t look back—until he’d run a long distance.
And just one glance nearly shattered his spirit.
From afar, Shen Wuxiao stood soaked in blood, smirking.
In his hand, he held the dying Bai Hu.
Zhuque lay motionless on the ground—her fate unknown.
Shen Wuxiao raised his middle finger at Ye Qingfeng.
Then, he drove his fist through Bai Hu’s body.
Blood splattered.
He tossed the corpse aside like trash.
Then made a throat-slitting gesture toward Ye Qingfeng.
“AHHHHHHH!”
“AHHHHHHH!!!”
Ye Qingfeng screamed in anguish, blood-tears spilling from his eyes.
He trembled uncontrollably, his entire body soaked in blood and fury.
It was rage beyond limits.
This moment would scar his soul forever.
“Boss, we have to go! We can’t let Bai Hu and Suzaku die in vain!” Qing Long shouted, dragging Ye Qingfeng away.
But Ye Qingfeng couldn’t take his eyes off the scene behind him.
In the distance, Shen Wuxiao gave him a mocking thumbs-up—
And then smashed it down in the air, like a final judgment.
Ye Qingfeng gritted his teeth, eyes burning with murderous intent…
But in the end, he had no choice.
He turned and fled.
