Once I become City Lord, on the day of my investiture, when I travel to the North Sea, I will take you with me. How about it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She told you that, didn’t she?” Xu Zimo glanced at Meng Yu and smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will you agree?” Bei Xiao didn’t answer the question, only repeated his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All right,” Xu Zimo said, waving his hand casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to meet the Dragon Maiden and visit the Pool of Demon Transformation, both of which were far more important than this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Many thanks,” Bei Xiao said, bowing with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, I’ve chosen my three participants. Why not start the match now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well,” said the middle-aged man seated in the armchair, nodding lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Bei Qinghai’s expression grew solemn. “Gong One, you go first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Among the three Gong brothers, the eldest stepped forward immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept across the crowd as he shouted, “Who dares face me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will.” From among the two Qi brothers, the elder, Qi Wen, stepped out. He held a folding fan, a red mark between his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were as sharp as drawn swords, and the spear on his back gleamed with cold silver light under the sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please.” The two clasped fists in greeting. As soon as the words fell, spear intent and blade intent erupted at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wen spun his spear in a full circle around him; the spearhead tore through space itself, flashing with killing light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong One, wielding his twin cleavers, sent forth a gust of blade wind that became a storm of flashing edges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade and spear clashed, sparks flying everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their movements were graceful, their techniques exquisite, both the Qi family’s spear art and the Gong family’s blade art were at a high level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure of their God Meridian cultivation surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around them, spectators watched with rapt attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Gong family’s blade techniques and the Qi family’s spear techniques both have their merits,” someone praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These two are evenly matched. It’ll take a while before a winner’s decided.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as that man predicted, the battle dragged on for more than ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than ten minutes, both fighters were panting, their bodies covered in wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re done for,” Gong One laughed. “Better surrender while you can.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bullshit. I can fight dozens more rounds,” Qi Wen snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thrust his spear forward, the tip bursting with endless sharp light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An inch longer, an inch stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong One swung his blades in a flurry, the air roaring with every strike. When the weapons met again, waves of energy blasted outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Gong One suddenly thrust his left hand forward, several sharp arrows shot out from the wide sleeve of his robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wen’s face changed; he lifted his spear upward, deflecting the arrows with a twist, knocking them all aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gong One seized the opening, his blade sliced through Qi Wen’s robe, leaving a bloody mark on his back, then kicked him hard, sending him flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Despicable! Using tricks!” Qi Wu, Qi Wen’s younger brother, roared angrily from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In battle, there’s only victory or defeat,” Gong One retorted coldly. “There’s no such thing as fair or unfair. He wasn’t strong enough, he should accept it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine,” Qi Wu growled, his jaw clenched. His broad frame loomed as he stepped forward, muscles tight as steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tiger-like eyes glared around; under that gaze, few dared meet his eyes directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gong Two, you go,” Bei Qinghai commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” The second Gong brother stepped out slowly, sword in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood upright in his white robes, facing Qi Wu from across the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please enlighten me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough talk, let’s start,” Qi Wu said impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Two raised his sword and slashed downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qi Wu didn’t even draw a weapon; he caught the blade barehanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword struck his palm as if it had hit solid steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Two tried to pull it back, but couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Wu roared like a tiger shaking the mountains and snapped the sword in two before slamming a heavy fist into Gong Two’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed as Gong Two’s body was hurled across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Brother!” the other two Gong brothers shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine… I can still fight,” Gong Two said weakly, standing up and waving his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though blood streamed from his mouth and nose, he still straightened his back proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gong Two was careless,” Xie Changle said calmly from the pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s said the Qi family’s spear technique is unmatched, but Qi Wu hasn’t practiced the spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s trained his body like a savage beast’s, winning purely by brute strength,” Xu Zimo nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Gong Two had kept his distance and used sword energy instead of clashing directly, he might’ve won. But now, it’s too late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Zimo finished speaking, the outcome was already clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Badly wounded, Gong Two couldn’t withstand more than a few more furious blows before collapsing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one win and one loss each, the final match would decide everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bei Xiao felt uneasy. He turned to Meng Yu and asked, “That man… he’s reliable, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but worry. This young man was a complete unknown; if he lost, there would be no chance for redemption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Trust my judgment,” Meng Yu said softly, narrowing her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My turn,” Xu Zimo yawned, walking lazily onto the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such fights didn’t interest him in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for wanting to meet the Dragon Maiden, he wouldn’t have bothered at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the crowd, the youngest Gong brother stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the three, his cultivation was the highest, he had already stepped into the Immortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dressed in green robes, he had an air of grace about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were calm as water, his presence serene, faint immortal aura rising around him. Each step he took seemed imbued with celestial rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve copied an immortal’s demeanor but learned none of the essence,” Xu Zimo said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that, Gong Three’s expression turned cold. Even the red mark between his brows flared, releasing a beam of scarlet light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid that eerie glow, a third eye slowly opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Say that again,” Gong Three said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I said, you’re trash,” Xu Zimo replied, still smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Courting death!” Gong Three snapped, wasting no more words. The third eye between his brows shot out a crimson beam like roaring flames, devouring everything in its path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the Scarlet Flame Celestial Eye!” someone exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They say Gong Three once slew the king of the Scarlet Flame Eyebeasts and transplanted its eye into his own forehead. Looks like the rumors were true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the scorching red light surged toward him, Xu Zimo raised his right hand and struck outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crushing force filled the air, the red beam was instantly deflected back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reflected light hit Gong Three squarely in the brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crimson glow exploded. He fell to the ground, writhing in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a full minute before he could even begin to recover from the pain.\u003C\u002Fp>",1238,"2026-06-06T01:07:10.116Z",1,"novelbin.me","2b05f8c7eab59d00017a3110abea7fab7093f24c36db630a3e0fc485e67478c0","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1001","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1149",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
