Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! Chapter 504 Bai Zihan Vs Chong Sheng

Chong Sheng displayed no intention of concealing his motives.

At this moment, his murderous aura was already surging upward.

He intentionally exposed his Void Refinement Realm cultivation base, believing it would sufficiently scare Bai Zihan.

Chong Sheng remained unaware of the report that Bai Zihan had advanced into the Void Refinement Realm.

Thus, in his view—

He anticipated Bai Zihan would be utterly stunned.

After all, a person who had once lingered in the Qi Refining Realm now exceeded him in power.

Certainly, such a shock would shatter Bai Zihan's Dao Heart.

Let alone the terror it ought to inspire.

Mingzhu's face shifted instantly. Her eyes bulged in astonishment.

The nearby guards appeared equally dumbfounded.

Who would have thought Chong Sheng had grown so formidable?

Void Refinement Realm!

This stood as the pinnacle within the Falling Star Empire.

However, Bai Zihan revealed not a trace of dread.

On the contrary—

A subtle grin curved his mouth.

"Curious how I detected you through your disguise?"

He leisurely placed his hands behind his back, behaving as though a fearsome Demonic Cultivator wasn't before him.

Rather, he seemed mildly entertained.

"No disguise can mask the foul reek emanating from vile Demonic Cultivators."

He lightly fanned his hand before his nose, as if wafting away a nasty smell.

"It's intolerable. That repulsive odor trails you everywhere. Far too potent to overlook."

Chong Sheng's face darkened right away upon hearing Bai Zihan's response.

He knew full well Bai Zihan was ridiculing him.

There was no chance Bai Zihan had truly "smelled" him or similar nonsense.

This punk was just taunting him once more.

Even at this juncture.

Chong Sheng issued a chilling chuckle.

"Hmph! You won't reveal the truth then."

His gaze turned icier as he fixed it on Bai Zihan.

"Fine! If so..."

Demonic qi swirled fiercely around his form.

The ambient air thickened oppressively.

"Once I've pummeled you to the brink of death, the real answer will surely come to mind."

Numerous Imperial Guards gripped their weapons tighter.

The tension grew stifling.

Chong Sheng lifted his hand gradually.

A sinister crimson light amassed in his palm.

His stare stayed riveted on Bai Zihan.

"Time to witness the prowess of the famed genius from the Desolate Heaven Empire."

The instant after—

Boom!

A horrifying surge of Demonic Qi burst from Chong Sheng's frame.

The earth under his feet shattered at once.

Next—

He disappeared.

Whoosh!

His figure blurred into a shadowy streak, lunging ahead at dreadful velocity.

So swift that certain Void Refinement Realm experts nearby could scarcely track him.

The spot he occupied twisted wildly moments prior.

In a flash—

He materialized directly before Bai Zihan.

"Young Master Bai!"

Mingzhu's countenance twisted in alarm.

She rushed ahead at once, aiming to block Chong Sheng's strike.

Should Bai Zihan suffer harm or perish here, the empire would face dire repercussions.

Yet prior to advancing further—

Bai Zihan gestured for her to remain in place.

Mingzhu halted abruptly.

Bai Zihan didn't glance at Chong Sheng while speaking.

"No need. A foe like him... couldn't lay a finger on even one hair of mine, no matter how long I stand here."

Those words sparked Chong Sheng's rage instantly.

"Insolent whelp!"

Chong Sheng bellowed.

"That hubris will spell your doom!"

His blow hurtled down like thunder.

But just as it neared Bai Zihan—

Bai Zihan merely inclined his head a bit.

Whoosh!

The strike grazed past his hair.

It failed.

Chong Sheng's eyes constricted.

He struck once more.

His form flickered phantom-like.

One blow.

Two blows.

Three blows.

His assaults accelerated relentlessly, morphing into a tempest of shadowy residuals.

To onlookers around, it seemed dozens of Chong Shengs assaulted Bai Zihan simultaneously.

Nevertheless—

Bai Zihan just shifted sideways slightly.

Or leaned his torso.

Or moved one foot.

Each action was tiny.

Relaxed and utterly without strain.

And every assault whiffed. Chong Sheng's face shifted progressively.

(Impossible!)

Velocity was his utmost pride always.

Even during his past existence as a Supreme Immortal, his evasion arts were deemed exceptional.

He honed his present physique and mastered his Movement Art to perfection.

He was convinced even Great Ascension Realm masters might falter against his pace.

Yet Bai Zihan—

Dodged it all with ease.

Beyond that—

Multiple instances arose where Bai Zihan could have retaliated.

Yet he refrained.

He merely evaded while gazing down disdainfully.

As though toying with a mere insect.

Chong Sheng's eyes flickered.

Comprehension dawned swiftly.

He was being belittled.

Temporarily, fury boiled within his chest.

He, once a Supreme Immortal—

Now scorned.

Yet Chong Sheng hadn't ascended cultivation's summit without merit.

He promptly quelled his wrath.

His breaths steadied. Then he ceased motion gradually and eyed Bai Zihan anew.

"Thus... agility is your forte."

A frosty smirk crept across his features.

"Does it matter?"

His Demonic Qi erupted savagely. Boom!

The nearby atmosphere quaked. Ominous energy amassed over the wrecked manor akin to thunderheads.

"Believe you can evade it all... then attempt this."

Chong Sheng elevated both palms.

The encircling Demonic Qi detonated, flooding the whole field.

Gloomy shades crept over the demolished grounds like animated beings.

The overhead sky darkened as dark surges coalesced.

A sinister grin gradually formed on Chong Sheng's lips.

"Think your swiftness will rescue you?"

He clenched his fists deliberately. "Behold something intriguing."

The demonic shades encircling him ballooned abruptly.

They expanded every way, crafting a colossal shadowy realm enveloping the battlefield.

Chong Sheng's voice resounded across the zone.

"Shadow Devouring Domain!"

As the skill activated—

Innumerable shades fused into a horrifying demonic torrent barreling at Bai Zihan from all sides.

It brimmed with immense might and dominance.

And utterly unavoidable.

Even light-speed evasion would scarcely evade this onslaught.

The guards' faces paled sharply.

"Fall back!"

"All retreat!"

Most withdrew hastily, dreading entanglement in the horrific blast.

But at the fray's heart—

Bai Zihan stood composedly.

He displayed no urge to flee.

Rather—

He observed the approaching Demonic Energy maelstrom.

Within his thoughts, he assessed coolly.

(Might this skill wound me?)

He pondered quietly.

Considering—

He bore the Primordial Chaos Body now.

Though merely at the initial phase, it granted fearsome resilience.

Furthermore—

Another notion beckoned for trial.

(Wonder if my physique can devour Demonic Qi?)

(And should it... what volume can it endure?)

Bai Zihan stayed immobile.

Not one step.

The colossal demonic surge engulfed him.

BOOM!

The blast rattled the entire ruined manor.

Dust, rubble, and demonic power erupted wildly outward.

The terrain fissured.

Already ruined structures tumbled fully from the impact.

Onlookers gaped wide-eyed.

"Full impact!"

"Why stay put, Young Master Bai? His pace could've evaded it."

Certain guards inhaled sharply.

Even Mingzhu's features tensed.

The strike connected flawlessly. Evasion proved impossible for Bai Zihan.

Chong Sheng tilted his head skyward, laughing wildly. "Hahaha! At least I praise your refusal to flee!"

His gaze brimmed with icy glee.

In his thoughts—

Even should Bai Zihan survive, grave wounds were inevitable now.

That sufficed amply.

Since this art dispersed force broadly.

Its devastation spanned vastly. Unsurprisingly, focal potency lagged behind other skills.

But versus a speed-dependent like Bai Zihan—

This proved ideal.

No matter Bai Zihan's swiftness—

No escape existed.

Ere long—

Dust gradually dispersed.

Chong Sheng lingered in position, arms extended post-strike.

A smug grin persisted on his visage.

In his mind, victory sealed.

Despite Bai Zihan's exceptional agility—

No Void Refinement Realm survivor endured that frontal assault unscathed.

Yet suddenly—

His grin solidified.

Amid dissipating haze—

A silhouette advanced steadily.

Chong Sheng's eyes bulged.

Bai Zihan!

There, erect.

Completely unscathed.

Not a mark marred his form.

His garments stayed pristine.

As though the prior dread assault never grazed him.

Stunned disbelief crossed Chong Sheng's features.

Mingzhu and the Imperial Guards nearby gawked in shock.

How is this possible?!
