Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)

Chapter 403 – Outsmart

"Jesus Christ. Is this professional wrestling? So many run-ins."

Miaomiao sighed while his blood cells acted like a piranha, chomping and eating away the spiritual spears of Zhang Yide within less than a second. The crescent spears entered his body, and all the wounds, including the damage on his armor suit, were instantly healed and repaired.

<Your system skill, Feast of Vampire King, has been activated due to the damage and your lack of energy.>

<For 10 seconds, your blood cells can convert all materials, energy, or living organs into Life Essence.>

<You have devoured Zhang Yide's clone spears and soul Qi.>

<Your blood cells have transferred the backup Life Essence Energy to your dantian. Your blood cells will now digest Zhang Yide's clone spears and soul Qi. During this time, your blood cells cannot be used as a medium of Element Qi.>

<Estimated Digestion Time: 10 Days, 20 Hours, and 8 Minutes.>

One of Miaomiao's system skills automatically activated when he needed assistance.

As Miaomiao had been spending years inside his Isolation Training Space, he had defeated so many clones and obtained over 10,000 random skills. However, they were too weak from Miaomiao's perspective.

Since Miaomiao didn't like the common skills from the local cultivators, he randomly fused them together, hoping to get a rare skill that never existed in this world.

And Miaomiao obtained quite a few system skills, which could be considered Ultra Rare in a gacha game's terms. Its rarity was on the level of Death Fortress Sword Style that Miaomiao had been using as his primary sword skill.

Feast of Vampire King Skill was one of Miaomiao's hidden trump cards. Although he didn't want to reveal his hidden techniques to the dao gods and viewers of his live-stream channel, he was forced to use it to survive.

...

Feast of Vampire King

General Information

The creator of this skill, Leo Pronto, used to be an ordinary human from a distant mortal world. While he was a mortal, he stumbled upon an artifact, a mask, which belonged to the Demon of Gluttony. He wore it and became the first vampire in that world's history.

Leo Pronto inherited the wisdom and the power of the previous owner of the mask. Later on, he created this skill, Feast of Vampire King, to counter against various godly skills of powerful experts in his world, who aimed to destroy his vampire clan.

This skill allowed Leo Pronto to devour soul Qi of his opponents and material objects with his blood, turning the blood cells into insatiable beasts that could consume any external beings, energy, or objects upon touched. Then, the cells would transfer the energy back to their master.

Skill Effect: Your blood can devour anything and convert them into usable Qi or Essene back to your dantian. Depending on energy types, materials, or living organisms, the blood cells may take some time to digest and turn into useful energy.

...

Ding

<Your blood cells have replenished 170 Trillion Liters of Life Essence to your dantian.>

<Remaining Life Essence in your blood cells: 355 Trillion Liters.>

While Miaomiao's dantian limit was merely 170 Trillion Liters, his blood cells could store three times the amount of what his dantian could contain. Furthermore, his skeleton system and bone marrow hid an addition of 340 Trillion Liters, keeping them as a reserve pool for emergency situations.

In other words, Miaomiao had five times the amount of his max energy in his dantian as his secret reserve! Combining with what he had, his entire body had been carrying 1.02 quadrillion liters of essence!

This was the perk of being taught directly by an ancient dragon and having two dragon bloodlines.

'Welp, since I can't rely on my blood vessels, I'll use the classic nervous system meridians to fight. This will be a bit kinky. I hope I don't get a hard-on.'

Miaomiao combined the Dragon Metal Qi and Dragon Fire Qi together, gathering them to his right index fingertip and pointing at Huang Hansheng, who had been aiming his arrows at Dian Wei.

As if Miaomiao mimicked Yusuke Urameshi, light shone from his index finger. However, instead of using a spiritual power, Miaomiao's fingertip created a burning meteorite.

'Bowling time! Fire!'

Pulling the trigger, Miaomiao's hand was pushed upward because of the recoil. Afterward, a 200-diameter lava meteor flew toward Huang Hansheng.

Miaomiao corrected his posture and aimed at the others next. He created and launched more lava balls toward Zhang Yide, Yuan Shaoqing's men, and Liu Xuande.

20 meteors were consecutively fired within half a second! From the onlooker's perspective, it was like Miaomiao's right hand turned into a living machinegun.

The speed of the meteors was also as fast as the speed of sound. Loud shockwaves of the sonic boom alarmed the people, who had been rushing to the platform.

Huang Hansheng reacted first. He switched his target and aimed at the incoming burning meteorites. Then, he released his bowstrings.

Five energy arrows intercepted the five meteors. Upon impact, they shattered and scattered small burning rocks everywhere.

However, the meteorites didn't fall to earth. The small molten rocks flew as if they were alive, chasing after Huang Hansheng and others.

From five massive burning meteorites, they multiplied into 5,000 small burning rocks.

The flame stones slowly transformed into the obnoxious toy with a skull face.

They cackled, "LOOK OVER HERE!"

"!!!"

BOOM

Not only Huang Hansheng was caught in Miaomiao's trap, but many cultivators from Yuan Shaoqing's side also fell prey to the meteors. They destroyed them and unknowingly created more Killer Queen's bombs in the process.

Meanwhile, Zhao Bao widened his eyes and turned to Miaomiao, reprimanding the latter with his look as the skill might harm him and the other helpers on their side.

As so many Allahu-Akbar toys were on the field, Zhao Bao summoned the golden hands of Buddha and pulled everyone, including Dian Wei, Kang Yan, and Wei Yuan, away from the platform.

"Amita-BASTARD MIAOMIAO! YOU LITTLE SHIT NEED TO WATCH WHERE YOU'RE USING YOUR BOMBS!"

BOOOOOOM

Again, the entire arena was engulfed in flame and explosions. Zhao Bao and others were unharmed.

Qiong Sui, being wary of Mao Xueyan and Mao Dandan, was faster than the rest. He fled first and barely escaped from the blast radius.

Zhang Yide, Liu Xuande, Guan Yunchang, and representatives from Yuan Shaoqing covered themselves with their domain barrier domes as they couldn't leave the blast radius on time.

Now, they got to taste Miaomiao's perverted explosions.

...

The series of explosions lasted a minute. The black smoke dispersed afterward, revealing the number of survivors.

Two nascent soul representatives from Yuan Shaoqing's side became charred corpses. Two others were barely alive, but they were so cooked that they had suffered from the 3rd-degree burn.

As for the remaining combat members, Yuan Shaoqing, Liu Xuande, Guan Yunchang, Zhang Yide, Huang Hansheng, Huang Zu, and Qiong Sui came out unharmed.

Guan Yunchang had already recovered from the previous head-shattering incident. No sign of injury was left on his body, but his energy was depleted.

"FOOD!"

Zhao Bao let down his guard for a moment, and Dian Wei slipped out of from one of the Buddha statue's hands. She suddenly blinked and reappeared next to the two heavily injured representatives and stabbed their skulls with her long spider legs. Then, she leaped from the platform with the two medium-rare-cooked bodies.

Just like that, Yuan Shaoqing's member was downed from eleven to seven during the chaos.

Nobody made another move after the smoke dispersed.

...

The referee, Fang Yanxu, slowly descended from the sky and landed on the platform. He peered at both sides while the two groups stared at the immortal.

Yuan Shaoqing was relieved that Fang Yanxu had decided to come down and help them when they needed it the most. Miaomiao's power was too strong that the domains of their fighters could barely block this monster's flame.

As for Miaomiao's side, they didn't expect anything from Fang Yanxu. They feared that the immortal might use the chaotic fight just now to disqualify them again.

"This match has gotten out of hands," Fang Yanxu sighed, yet he secretly smirked, mocking Miaomiao and their friends. He turned toward Siren City.

"Mao Miaomiao. You have attacked the representatives from your opponent's side and killed two of them. That spider monster also killed two. Your side has violated the rules of our grudge-solving matches."

Miaomiao shrugged while Wei Yuan and others scoffed at the immortal's accusation. They simply defended themselves from the invasion, yet they were blamed for violating the rules.

The hypocrisy sickened them!

Furious by Fang Yanxu's bias treatment, Wei Yuan boldly yelled, "What about them!? They invaded the match first! We didn't even do anything. It's them who attacked Miaomiao, and he simply defended himself!"

"..."

Fang Yanxu didn't argue, but he sneered at Wei Yuan. He ignored her and turned around, facing Yuan Shaoqing and his men.

"Your side is at fault as well. This match is supposed to be a one-on-one duel, but two of your men suddenly barged onto the stage and attacked Siren City's fighter."

"..."

Yuan Shaoqing had a wry smile on his face as he glanced at the trio. This outcome was out of Yuan Shaoqing's expectation since he had thought that an 8th-stage cultivator wouldn't lose to a foundation establishment realm weakling.

He was wrong. Miaomiao was too strong to the point that an elite from Holy Land Continent was reduced to that state.

Hadn't Liu Xuande and Zhang Yide helped Guan Yunchang earlier, the latter would have been dead. Yuan Shaoqing couldn't blame them for what they just did.

Fang Yanxu sighed and closed his eyes. He took several deep breaths before he announced his verdict.

"This match ends in a draw. However..."

Suddenly, Fang Yanxu sneered, "Both sides can be considered as losers. Therefore, each side can decide what to do with the losers!"

"WHAT!?"

Everyone from Siren City was enraged. This verdict was akin to the death sentence to Miaomiao while Yuan Shaoqing wouldn't lose anything other than his men or a city that someone else owned.

The world guardian's eyes narrowed as they were also upset by Fang Yanxu's biased judgment.

It was unfair!

"Now, Yuan Shaoqing! You can decide what to do with Mao Miaomiao!"

Fang Yanxu burst into laughter, expecting Yuan Shaoqing to follow his gesture and kill Miaomiao right away.

Yuan Shaoqing caught the hint. He laughed and cupped his fist, saluting the immortal.

"Thank you for your fair verdict, Your Excellency. Indeed, Mao Miaomiao was too excessive. He violated the ethic of the sacred match, and he deserves to pay with his life!"

Fang Yanxu smiled as he found Yuan Shaoqing pleasant. He turned to Siren City, planning to order Yuan Shaoqing to deliver the finishing blow.

However, Wei Yuan suddenly had an inspiration. She bellowed.

"Since they lost as well. We get to ask the loser to do whatever we want, right?"

"Indeed. You may ask the loser to do whatever you want. It can be anything!"

Fang Yanxu didn't care what would happen to Guan Yunchang. He simply answered without thinking while his brain simulated various scenarios of how he could extract the secrets from Miaomiao's corpse after today.

Wei Yuan scoffed and turned to Guan Yunchang, who was being treated by Zhang Yide.

"I want Guan Yunchang to kill Yuan Shaoqing and commit suicide!"

"Huh!?"

Yuan Shaoqing thought that Siren City would have asked for Guan Yunchang's life or the Chicken Ann City. He had no idea that the loser could have been asked to do something like this.

As for Liu Xuande and Zhang Yide, they widened their eyes in shock as they were unwilling to lose their brother.

Liu Xuande stood up to protest, "That's too much! We're not your servants or your slave! You can't ask him to commit suicide!"

Wei Yuan sneered, "Since YOUR SIDE wants my husband's life, we'll take your brother's life and Yuan Shaoqing's life in exchange!"

"But you're asking for two lives! Why don't you just ask Yuan Shaoqing to die!?"

As Liu Xuande was panicking, his tongue slipped. Now, it sounded like Liu Xuande wanted Yuan Shaoqing to die.

Because of such a blunder, Yuan Shaoqing sweated bullets. He gazed at the immortal, asking for help with his look.

Yet, Fang Yanxu didn't look back at Yuan Shaoqing. He simply snickered and nodded.

"Whatever. Yuan Shaoqing, you may send one of your men to kill Mao Miaomiao. After that, you will have to stay put, so that red-face guy can kill you and commit suicide later."

"..."

Everything sounded so wrong on many levels. Now, Yuan Shaoqing didn't want to follow the rules anymore.

Liu Xuande and Zhang Yide also had the same idea. They didn't want Guan Yunchang to die.

Liu Xuande and Yuan Shaoqing looked at each other. They somewhat blamed each other for this blunder before they faced Wei Yuan, hoping to find a better solution.

Liu Xuande started first, "Umm, young lady. How about this? We won't take anything or order you to do anything. We hope that you can cancel your demand. I mean, if you can spare my younger brother, we don't mind killing Yuan Shaoqing for you."

Yuan Shaoqing's face flushed in rage. He also tried to convince Wei Yuan, "Look, the demand is not fair, okay? You ask for two lives, while we only take one."

Wei Yuan sneered, "If Miaomiao dies, both of you die. I'm being lenient since I could have asked Guan Yunchang to wipe out your entire family from the planet!"

Yuan Shaoqing clicked his tongue and smacked his head, blaming himself for not thinking this far ahead. He could have extorted a dao oath from Miaomiao, so the latter could become his slave. Then, Wei Yuan wouldn't have had asked for this complicated condition.

Because of the frustration and regret, Yuan Shaoqing's tongue also slipped, "Hear me out. I'll change my demand. I'll ask your husband to temporarily work for me for a few years instead of killing him. Can you spare me? You can kill that red-faced man, but spare me, please?"

Now, Liu Xuande was infuriated. Even Zhang Yide had the urge to lop off Yuan Shaoqing's head right away.

"Lord Yuan, isn't it wrong to make us a sacrificial lamb?"

Yuan Shaoqing sighed, "Your brother failed us. He should be the one paying the price, not me."

"Hohoh? So this is your true color, huh? Very well..."

Liu Xuande turned to Wei Yuan and suggested an idea, "Young lady, I have an idea. Instead of asking for my brother's life, how about you ask for Yuan Shaoqing's life, his wealth, his city, his sect, and his subordinates? We will not ask anything from you in return. After all, it's the match between my brother and your husband. Our brother holds the right to make the call."

"Liu Xuande! How dare you!" Yuan Shaoqing also lost it. He turned to Wei Yuan and offered a new condition, "Young lady, please reconsider this carefully. The ones who violated the rules first were these idiots. They were the cause of this mess! You know what? I won't ask for anything in return as well, but I hope that you can ask that red-face guy to either commit suicide or kill both of their sworn brothers before he commits suicide! We will also hand over their treasures since they belong to your husband!"

Now, they fought among themselves.
