Villain Cultivator

Chapter 305: Plot Armor VS Plot Armor

The hammer strike from the lich just now dislocated Lu Fengxian's spine, and he couldn't feel anything from the waist down. Yet, he was expressionless.

Lu Fengxian took a deep breath and circulated his life essence to the spine, recovering and readjusting the broken bones. He also ate a healing pill, which he had received from Ma Ping.

The situation wasn't looking well. At first, Lu Fengxian thought that Liu Bian had a limited amount of resources. Unfortunately, the loli-in-disguise received a lot of support from external beings.

Lu Fengxian could tell from looking at the aura of the lich. It wasn't created by Liu Bian, but it was forged by his heavenly fate piece and luck power. Moreover, the faint aura of unknown dao gods lingered on each death knight, revealing the connected karma between Liu Bian and unknown dao gods.

'This little kid has sacrificed his heavenly fate piece to create a lich. Those skeleton soldiers are also the same, but they have the smell of Kishin Douji… Is this kid Kishin Douji's underling?'

This changed everything. Lu Fengxian was determined to kill Liu Bian now. However, he couldn't defeat the lich or bypass its protection with his current strength.

He needed essence cores and elemental cores! If only he had those, he could break through to the 6th-stage within 24 hours, and this weak 8th-stage undead monster wouldn't be his match.

As Lu Fengxian was on the ground, he absorbed the tainted life essence into his dantian, gathering more power regardless if it contained high impurity or not. He had his own ways of cleansing and converting them into another form of power.

'If they can buy me 30 more minutes, I can win…'

…

Liu Bian emerged from the ground and stood behind the lich. He exchanged the new corpses with his necromancy system, obtaining 1,000 more death knights.

The exchange rate was expensive. Ten 7th-stage cultivators could only be converted to one death knight with his current strength. Had Liu Bian reached the 7th-stage, he could have created a lich or a lich lord instead of getting a death knight.

"A pity. Oh, well. Beggars can't choose. I need to kill everybody here, especially those two heroes."

Liu Bian had already pinpointed Ma Moxi and Lu Fengxian as sworn enemies. He stopped paying attention to the two weaklings; Luo Chang and Ku'er. Then, he pointed his finger at Ma Moxi, who was struggling on the ground, feeding his Qi to the injured child emperor.

"Kill that guy first!"

Cack Cack!

The lich raised its green staff, and a dark green energy ball manifested from the tip of the jewel staff.

Then, the lich's domain expanded. It covered the entire south mountain range and the south wasteland.

The domain turned everything into the absolute dark world without light, the abyss domain. The plane, which had been emitted faint light from random corrupted Qi in the air, also stopped producing light.

Everyone in the domain felt like they had become blind. No matter how hard they circulated their Qi into their eyes, they couldn't see anything. Even Ku'er, who had night vision, couldn't see further than a meter in front of her.

Luo Cheng, Ku'er, and Ma Moxi could only rely on their Qi sense to see further. However, the dark world even blocked their Qi sense, not allowing them to spread their Qi more than a meter away from their dantian.

With such a restriction, they began to panic. Everybody was aware that Liu Bian and the lich had an absolute advantage in this forsaken plane. And now, they blinded them.

"RETREAT!"

Luo Cheng yelled and jumped, shuttling to the sky, trying to break away from the domain range. Ku'er also followed after the dwarf as they could no longer fight against the lich and the death knights.

Further East, Ju Shoufen in her giant crow form also flew away from a platoon of death knights. Wang Yun, Jia Shan, and Ma Ping dragged the weak succubi with them. All of them managed to get out of the dark dome safely.

However, Luo Song, Ma Moxi, Lu Fengxian, and the child emperor weren't with them!

RUMBLE

Nobody could see what had happened on the ground, but the entire southern plain was destroyed. Aside from the southern mountain range, the southern part of the floating continent was gone!

Luo Song, Ma Moxi, Lu Fengxian, and the child emperor were gone as well!

The lich's domain disappeared, revealing Liu Bian, who sat on the lich's shoulder. He sneered at the flying experts and mocked them.

"You all will die here! You, too, Wang Yun, you traitor!"

Wang Yun's face darkened. He slowly tore the worn-out mask, revealing his western facial features. Then, he manifested a rocket launcher from his free left hand.

"I knew you would do something this crazy. It was my mistake to keep you alive for too long. I should have killed you that day when you had nobody to rely on. But fear not, I'll get you soon enough."

"Ha! All talk and no walk! I want to see how you can defeat me and all my underlings!" Liu Bian laughed and summoned the newly acquired 1,000 death knights at once.

"KILL THEM ALL! LEAVE NONE ALIVE!"

The army of death knights floated in a vertical square array, forming a net formation. Then, they charged together while they maintained their ranks.

"MOUNTAIN GOOSE SLASH!"

"SPEAR METEORS!"

Jia Shan and Ma Ping used their ultimate skills once more. A million energy spear formed in the sky and rained upon the death knights. As for Jia Shan's slash, it cleaved a hundred skeleton knights at once and disintegrated them to dust.

However, more than 70% of them made it through the barrage. They got close to the party and unleashed their domain power, blocking the two masters' power.

Death Qi expanded and enveloped the sky, destroying Jia Shan and Ma Ping's domain territory within a second.

After their domain power being sealed, the two nascent soul experts were helpless against this massive army of 7th-stage undead knights. They ground their teeth and planned to kill as many of them as they could before they died.

"CHILDREN, RETREAT TO THE STORM! THE PORTAL SHOULD STILL BE AROUND!! GO!!"

Both of them shouted at the same time, hoping that Ju Shoufen and the succubi could make it back alive to tell Miaomiao of what had happened here.

Luo Cheng and Ku'er rushed to the three succubi and grabbed them. Then, they flew north, heading toward the giant tornado at the center of the low plain.

Ju Shoufen opened her beaks and created a flame barrier for them. Then, she gave them a meaningful look as if this might be their last farewell.

After giving the children a farewell gift, she turned to the incoming army of death knights.

Wang Yun gazed at the scene with a deep frown. He used shadow element Qi to fetch 1,000 rocket launchers in his shadow inventory. Then, he pointed them at the death knights and pulled the triggers!

1,000 rockets were launched toward the death knight army!

BOOM

BOOM

BOOM

Five rockets hit one death knight each and successfully downed 200 more. However, 500 death knights remained. Moreover, 200 scattering death knights, whom Jia Shan, Ma Ping, and Wang Yun had been fighting earlier, regrouped and formed another platoon.

Now, they were flanked from both sides. All death knights had gotten close, and everyone began engaging in close combat.

Realizing that they would be overrun soon, Wang Yun clicked his tongue and used the last bit of his shadow element Qi. He enveloped Jia Shan, Ju Shoufen, Ma Ping, and himself with his shadow wings. Then, he activated the [Shadow Teleport] one more time.

Cack Cack!

The lich and the death knights laughed. Their eyes glowed in bright red as they also used their domain power to interfere with Wang Yun's shadow skill.

The next second, Wang Yun and everyone appeared 20 meters to the north. The teleportation ability was canceled because of the unified domains of several hundred death knights.

Wang Yun's domain power was sealed as well!

The elders ate more Qi replenishing pills and healing pills. Even Ma Ping and Jia Shan ate their last immortal-grade pills, which they had received from Miaomiao.

This might be their last dance, and it would be over soon. They planned to use everything in their arsenal to destroy all death knights.

They reactivated their domains again, trying to resist the onslaught charge.

Liu Bian observed the battle from afar. He smirked, believing that these powerful experts would be out of energy and resources soon, and he could cripple Miaomiao's forces for good. Afterward, he would attack Miaomiao's city with his overwhelming army.

SWUA

As Liu Bian thought that he had everything in his grasp, a knife plunged through his left chest from behind.

The red blood dripped onto the invisible knife and the hands of Ma Moxi, who managed to hide his presence and his life signature to the point that he stopped his heartbeat for three seconds for the sake of creeping behind Liu Bian.

Ma Moxi succeeded. He got closer to Liu Bian without alerting the lich!

"Go to hell, motherfucker!"

"YOU!!"

Ma Moxi transformed into a gold dragonewt and twisted his knife, screwing Liu Bian's heart. At the same time, Moxi circulated five basic element Qi into his weapon, injecting them into the ex-prince's inner organs.

Then, Ma Moxi mimicked Miaomiao's Transmuted Bomb Ability. He ordered them to detonate!

The energy gathered in Liu Bian's heart and ignited!

As Ma Moxi thought that it would have been over, the lich seized Ma Moxi's hand and knife. Then, it yanked them out. It also transferred its Qi into his master's heart, stopping the bleeding and regenerating it in an instant!

Moreover, Ma Moxi's bomb had been instantly defused!

"WHAT!"

The lich's jaw moved again as if it laughed at Ma Moxi's vain attempt, telling the protagonist that he could never touch its master as long as it was alive.

The lich then turned around and threw a punch at Ma Moxi.

The lich's speed was too fast for Ma Moxi to dodge. By reflex, he activated the phasing ability to avoid it. His body faded and disappeared.

BOOM

Yet, the lich's fist landed on Ma Moxi's chest, sending the latter flying to space.

The phasing ability transformed Ma Moxi's physical into spiritual physique temporarily. However, it could not prevent the lich's soul physique from hitting him.

With just one punch, all Ma Moxi's front ribcages were destroyed, and his lungs shattered. Even his heart was torn and bled.

"MOXI!!"

Ma Ping was shocked when Ma Moxi received the direct full-forced attack from the lich. From his experience, even he wouldn't survive if he were hit to the chest directly.

Yet, Ma Moxi's eyes didn't lose their radiance. His golden dragonewt body glowed in yellow light and the avatar of the azure dragon emerged around him.

The azure dragon coiled around Ma Moxi and corrected his stance. Then, its killing intent locked onto the lich.

The lich and Liu Bian flinched. No matter how strong they were, the presence of a divine being still intimidated them.

Using the brief momentum, Ma Moxi circulated his gold element Qi and his blood to the damaged organs inside his body. Within a second, he was healed to 100% HP!

Ma Moxi spat out clogged blood in his throat. Then, he unsummoned his azure dragon avatar.

"The first attempt, I failed because I lacked information. The second attempt, I failed because of the death knights. The third attempt, I failed because of the lich," Ma Moxi took a deep breath and slowly faded. He muttered in a low voice.

"I don't believe that I will fail the fourth time, Wang Diaochan!"

Ma Moxi became invisible again. Now, it was Liu Bian's turn to fear the shadow.

Liu Bian gulped and gritted his teeth. He patted the lich's skull.

"Focus on killing that guy first! Leave those nascent soul insects to the death knight-UGH!"

The lich suddenly raised its hand in front of Liu Bian's face and grabbed something with its fingers. A sharp dagger was in the lich's hand.

Someone had thrown it toward Liu Bian's forehead in an attempt to snipe him!

The lich cast a shadow barrier around Liu Bian. Then, the barrier shrunk and rested inside its hollowed body, inside his ribcages.

Liu Bian was now protected inside the lich's body!

The undead lich summoned an energy hammer and waved its staff, floating and staring into the dark void beyond the edge of the destroyed southern wasteland.

Several kilometers away from the lich, where it was looking, a tattered 6th-stage cultivator in a plate armor carried Lu Fengxian behind his back, floating inside the void space. He glared at the lich while he panted.

Hua Xiong, the sole survivor of Dong Zhongying's subordinates, managed to save Lu Fengxian from drifting into the dark void.

Like others, Hua Xiong was forcefully teleported to the underground pylon tower and was hunted by the lich and hundreds of death knights. He, along with others, had no choice but to retreat into this realm.

But it was a mistake. They fell into Liu Bian's trap and got stuck here in Liu Bian's playing ground. Then, he was injured by one of the death knights, but he managed to survive after he had killed one of them.

For the sake of his survival, Hua Xiong saved Lu Fengxian, hoping to switch sides to their faction.

"Thanks, general," Lu Fengxian chuckled.

Hua Xiong sighed, "You're welcome. What now? Do you think we can escape from here?"

"No."

"What!? Are you planning to fight them!? That's an 8th-stage undead monster! It has a dao soul physique!"

"Yes. We'll fight them."

"ARE YOU CRAZY!? How are we going to fight them with just two of us!? Your ambush didn't work earlier, and they are aware of our presence! They are going to come at us with full force next!"

"Nah, not just us," Lu Fengxian stared into a distance. Then, he grinned. "Another crazy bastard is here."
