Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)

'The next game will be… the Hunter and Prey Game! The person who has stepped on the red tile and another person will be the hunters. The prey will be randomly selected and given with a treasure. The hunters have to obtain the treasure before the time runs out.'

RUMBLE

'Also, as a special rule, nobody can use their Qi in this game!'

Everyone on the platform, including Miaomiao, suddenly sensed that they couldn't control their Qi, nascent soul, and elemental energy. Every type of energy inside them was frozen.

Their cultivation base was sealed!

Moreover, their armors, artifacts, weapons, and treasures were pulled by a mysterious force. Everything they wore flew away and gathered near Uriel.

Being disarmed, everyone was left with common clothes and underwear.

Several cultivators who had been wearing artifact armor and robes as their primary clothes were stripped naked. Miaomiao's wives were also stripped and were left with their undergarments.

Jiang Lan, Pan Xiaofan, Zhao Yun, and sex-crazed women had it worse. As they lost their treasure robes, their see-through lingerie, G-string bikinis, and nipple-revealing bras were in plain sight.

Despite being in suggestive and obscene condition, none of them was in a mood to be shy. They looked around, being vigilant against their potential enemies.

Miaomiao's teammates regrouped and formed a battle formation with the strong elders on the front. Fogan, Zhang Liao, Qu Yi, Ma Ping, and Jia Shan stood on the forefront, protecting the vulnerable women without Qi. The other men stood behind them, forming a second line of defense.

Ku'er gleefully stood behind the grown men. Mao Xueyan and Mao Dandan had to drag her to join the second line of defense since she was a lot stronger than some of the men, such as Tang Fan and Pao Luo.

Zhao Yun retreated back to the formation. Wei Yuan also hid behind their seniors as she was not in a state to fight.

As for Ma Moxi, he appeared behind a pile of dead golems, located on the edge of the west zone.

While Miaomiao was choking Ling Tianlong, a knife appeared in his free hand. Meanwhile, a red gem emerged from Ling Tianlong's forehead and stuck there.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Suddenly, the masked old man, Li Jue, dropped his wooden mask. His wrinkled forehead revealed another red gem, lodging in his flesh.

The gem sang a strange song of dao, which resonated with Miaomiao's Qi in his dantian and his dragon blood.

The others also felt it, too. They felt like the gems might be priceless treasures that could strengthen their Qi or dantian.

'The gem, the Teardrop of Shenlong, the Wind Dragon God, is a divine-grade material for crafting a divine artifact. If you use it to craft a weapon, that weapon will become a divine-grade weapon with a newborn soul. But you give it to an alchemist deity, they might be able to recreate Shenlong's bloodline and turn this gem into a pill. Well, I don't care how you use them.'

Hearing the quality and the purpose of the gem, Liu Biao's men, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Qiang Sui's men, and Brocell turned to Ling Tianlong and Li Jue. Their expression revealed their greed and desire.

Even if they weren't the hunter, they planned to join in this hunt to get the treasure.

But then, a crimson domain was unleashed from the gem on Ling Tianlong's forehead. It pushed Miaomiao and everybody around him away.

'Ling Tianlong and Li Jue are designated as the prey in this game. Two hunters, Mao Miaomiao and Ma Moxi are responsible to hunt them down and secure the gem. However, if both hunters fail to secure the gem, their cultivation base will be crippled.'

Ling Tianlong widened his eyes for a moment. He rubbed the gem on his forehead and sneered at Miaomiao.

The mysterious existence continued to explain the rules.

'If Ling Tianlong manages to hold on to the treasure, he shall win this game. Of course, if Ling Tianlong loses the gem, he will die. Also, if any non-prey or non-hunter manages to rob the gem from either the hunter or the prey, they get to keep the gem. All hunters and prey will be either crippled or killed afterward.'

Ling Tianlong's smile was frozen. His mouth curved down, and his bulging purple blood veins became visible to everyone.

The protagonist realized that he had become a common target of all cultivators here. He would have to fight everyone to survive.

'Every 10 seconds, a pair of a new prey and a new hunter will be chosen. This game lasts a minute, and the winners are the gem holders. I pray for your success!'

The timer started!

…

CLANK!

A loud noise came from the southwest corner, where Liu Biao's men, Qiong Sui's men, and the mixed forces had gathered.

Guan Yunchang punched a crimson dome that had been protecting Li Jue when the game started. Unfortunately, he couldn't harm the protective barrier since he couldn't use Qi.

Even his soul physique was useless against the dome shield!

"Li Jue! Hand over the gem!" Guan Yunchang yelled.

Li Jue shrieked and ran away from Guan Yunchang.

But a silhouette appeared before Li Jue. Ma Moxi came out and slashed the crimson dome with the hunter's knife.

The protective barrier was shattered instantly!

"I see. So this is why he gives me the knife."

The knife was the only thing that Ma Moxi could use. Moreover, he could sense residual Qi inside it.

With the weapon, Ma Moxi easily destroyed the barrier.

Then, his entire body flashed as he utilized his physique to the fullest.

Even if he couldn't use Qi, he could use his superior Azure Dragon Physique and Bloodline to fight!

SWUA

Li Jue's head went flying after a silver beam passed through his neck. Ma Moxi's appeared behind the headless corpse as he waited for the head to fall to his hand.

The severed head fell into Ma Moxi's hand as if he had calculated it. He stabbed the knife into the forehead and dug the gem out.

Just like that, Ma Moxi scored his gem! His protagonist's luck was still strong.

Suddenly, Ma Moxi sensed the danger. He tossed the diamond-shaped gem into his mouth and swallowed it!

"If you want it, pry it from my dead body!"

Ma Moxi retreated toward Jia Shan right away. He got what he wanted, and he needed to protect it to save his life.

As for Miaomiao, Ma Moxi had faith in him that his boss would be fine on his own.

…

The brief commotion and Ma Moxi's deeds didn't escape the sharp eyes of every cultivator here. Now, they understood the principle and the rules of this game.

First, they needed the knife that the hunters received from the game master!

"BRAT, GIVE IT HERE!"

Huang Hansheng sprinted toward Miaomiao. Even the others charged at him as well.

Their speed was a lot slower in this game since they couldn't use Qi. Still, their physique was superior to modern athletes. Sprinting 100 meters within 3 seconds was nothing.

Miaomiao clicked his tongue. He mimicked Ma Moxi and sliced the crimson barrier around Ling Tianlong.

The protective dome was destroyed. Now, Ling Tianlong didn't have his plot armor anymore.

"I've played enough. Please die for me."

"MAO MIAOMIAO!!"

Ling Tianlong bellowed as he threw a punch toward Miaomiao's face.

Who was Miaomiao? Although he had lived as Cernun for a million years, his MMA experience and training were ingrained into his soul.

Such a telegraph punch was nothing in Miaomiao's eyes. He rotated his knife and lightly stabbed the incoming wrist. Then, Ling Tianlong's momentum pushed his dry flesh to the sharp blade, slicing his own arm.

Miaomiao tilted his head to the side to dodge the straight punch while his eyes watched how the knife sliced the tendons and the blood vessels of Ling Tianlong.

The knife went as far as Ling Tianlong's bicep. Miaomiao pulled it and exerted all his physical power.

He didn't forget that he also had a wood dragon bloodline and many others. His physical prowess wouldn't lose to anyone!

Moreover, Miaomiao's swordsmanship comprehension had improved a lot since he last trained with Jia Shan. He could sense the lines of death even though he couldn't circulate his Qi into his pupils to see them.

SWUA

With one simple swing, Miaomiao sliced through Ling Tianlong's neck. The knife went through the weakened flesh and bones as if they cut through butter.

Miaomiao seized Ling Tianlong's head and watched how the protagonist's body dissipated into black dust.

He should have felt excited that he successfully killed Ling Tianlong. However, he felt numb.

It felt like he had been cheating fate in this hunt. He didn't kill Ling Tianlong with his own strength, but he relied a lot on the Devil and Uriel.

It wasn't his quest anymore. It was THEIR quest!

"BRAT!!"

Huang Hansheng's voice snapped Miaomiao back to his sense. He carried the head in his arm like an American football and kicked the ground, avoiding the incoming pursuers!

The goal line was where Jia Shan and others had regrouped!

A strange American Football match between cultivators began.

Huang Hansheng, Guan Yunchang, and Zhang Yide reached Miaomiao first. They threw a palm strike toward Miaomiao's chest and back.

Seeing the incoming attacks, Miaomiao threw Ling Tianlong's head toward Jia Shan like a quarterback, "Catch!"

PA

PA

PA

Without cultivation base or Qi, the palm strike was like a gentle slap to Miaomiao. All their hands and physical attack couldn't harm Miaomiao, who had a sturdy physique.

Still, their momentum knocked Miaomiao off balance, and he fell to the ground.

Despite having an opportunity to beat Miaomiao, everyone turned around, looking at the head of Ling Tianlong.

"Give it here!"

They rushed at Jia Shan and others, who stood in a formation.

As if the elders in front turned into linemen, they threw punches and kicks at the chargers, blocking them from reaching the women's group.

As for the head of the protagonist, it fell to Lai Wen.

The gift of Uriel started to affect her. The Heavenly Fate Piece influenced her luck.

Had she possessed a protagonist's mentality, she would have kept the gem for herself. However, she extracted the red gem and passed it to Mao Xueyan, who was nearby.

"I'm weak. Senior Mao, please protect it for our husband."

Mao Xueyan frowned. She clearly sensed that Lai Wen had just advanced to the 8th-stage, but she called herself weak.

Although Mao Xueyan wanted to argue, she nodded and hid the gem for Miaomiao.

"Alright. I see that you haven't stabilized your cultivation base yet. I'll pass this to Sister Dian Wei."

"Please do. Oh, even though I've advanced, I'm still weaker than other sisters. Please don't bully me."

"…"

Again, Mao Xueyan didn't know if she should believe in Lai Wen. She thought this girl was either timid or too cunning.

BOOM

As the game turned into a brawl without Qi techniques, these elders couldn't kill each other in one or two strikes. They started making noises.

Fogan was the loudest. As he had a bigger stature and was heavier than others, he enjoyed this chaos.

"BUL'TARRRRR!!"

Fogan's giant hand punched a nascent soul cultivator from Liu Biao's side to the gut, sending the old man flying and vomiting blood at the same. Then, he kicked Guan Yunchang to the face, knocking him away as well.

"FAHAHAHAHAHA!! COME ON! IS THAT ALL YOU CAN DO!? MY GRANDMA CAN PUNCH ME HARDER THAN YOU WEAKLINGS!!"

"Kill that orc bastard first! We have time!"

Huang Hansheng commanded the men to gang on Fogan, but they forgot about the hidden John Cena.

Ma Moxi slipped into the chaos and beheaded a 6th-stage cultivator from Qiang Sui's side in one swing!

He was another hunter with a knife!

"Another one bites the dust!" Ma Moxi laughed as he retreated back behind the line, allowing others to protect him.

The chaos continued.
