The oppressive force of his knife began to overwhelm Seven Kills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clash of metal rang out again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blood-Stained Edge,” Seven Kills whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crimson sheen coated her blade, the blood-lit sword cleaving through the air in a deadly arc. Xu Zimo stepped back, narrowly avoiding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Flying Stream.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Soul Reversal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was cold, and with each cry, the Seven-Star Sword flared brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blooms of killing light unfurled from the sword tip, beautiful and deadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each strike descended like a waterfall of death, tearing through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dust to Dust.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Falling Stars.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword rose, sword fell. Life and death intertwined, stars shone brightly, only to fade in an instant. It was the cycle of existence, the rise and fall of all things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo kept retreating as the storm intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven Kills’ aura was immense, her killing intent surged higher and higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of her slashes caught him at the waist; blood splattered, but the wound sealed almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Myriad Extinction.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blood Samsara.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seven Kill Sword Art had seven forms, and she unleashed them all. The final stroke formed a blood-red vortex in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wheel of blood spun rapidly, shredding the void itself as it descended toward Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could move, he was engulfed within it, his limbs locked in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven Kills raised her sword, the tip glowing with both starlight and malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But within that killing aura, Xu Zimo felt something foreign, an echo of the Ghost God’s power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone was channeling through her blade, trying to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the Nine Ghost Gods, only Kui and Abyssal-Chimera had crossed him. He doubted any other would intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the force approaching him now was unmistakably that of a Ghost God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill!” Seven Kills roared, driving the sword through Xu Zimo’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade pierced flesh and spirit, shaking the air with thunderous energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet her face didn’t show triumph, only deep concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Xu Zimo, three great doors rose from nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heaven-Unity Three-Life Gates, one of the Ten Primordial God-Scriptures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gate of Life, the Gate of Death, and the Gate of Eternity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That final gate could block any harm, it was the very essence of transcendence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo broke free, his right hand snapping up to seize the Seven-Star Sword. With a flick of his finger, the immense energy within him surged, blasting Seven Kills backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, a colossal shadow loomed, the Heaven-Shattering Giant, its roar shattered the Blood Reincarnation vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragging Shadow Tyrant across the ground, Xu Zimo walked forward. Sparks hissed beneath the blade’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down at her, he asked, “Who wants me dead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t killing you reason enough?” Seven Kills said with a faint smirk, retreating a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not you, the one behind you,” Xu Zimo said quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t understand what you mean,” she replied coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You will,” Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gathered power in his palm, the Heaven-Shattering Giant’s strength flowing into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stomped once, earth cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind howled around his legs as he dashed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven Kills lifted her sword to block, but Shadow Tyrant crashed down like a falling star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact tore her sword apart, the ground caving beneath her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another strike sent her Seven-Star Sword flying from her grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Slash,” Xu Zimo said, swinging again toward her unarmed form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven Kills’s eyes flashed. Behind her, her True Fate appeared, the Seven Kill Star itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavens blazed with its light as lines of starlight connected between constellations, forming a celestial web that pulsed like living cords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Break,” Xu Zimo commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blade came down once more. Even the stars, as mighty as they were, shattered beneath the edge of Shadow Tyrant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pierce.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lift.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shatter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each word fell like a hammer, and with a final crack, the starry sky behind her exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The storm of energy settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven Kills closed her eyes as Shadow Tyrant stopped just short of her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who sent you to kill me? You get one chance,” Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll never get the answer,” Seven Kills said with a faint, bloodied smile. “Kill me if you want, it changes nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Xu Zimo said softly. “That’s because you’ve never experienced something worse than death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand toward the void and swung.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very sky split apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those watching from the White Emperor’s Mausoleum gasped, the projection shattered, the image fragmenting into static.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it cleared, Seven Kills was gone. Only Xu Zimo stood in the ruined village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Wu Daozi’s face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go,” Xu Zimo said, glancing at Ji Jiuning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded silently, following behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know,” Xu Zimo said as they walked, eyes fixed ahead, “you don’t have to keep pretending.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?” Ji Jiuning blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t have to act so weak,” Xu Zimo said. “If Northern Hills Fox Clan were that fragile, it wouldn’t rank among the five great powers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, Ji Jiuning fell silent. He had seen through her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this time, her injuries, her exhaustion, they’d all been an act to lower his guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think I can sense the aura of the North Fox again,” Ji Jiuning said after a while.\u003C\u002Fp>",885,"2026-06-06T01:07:12.426Z",1,"novelbin.me","7d3706cba9b70daac601eab582bb8506365c4207c98e27f661ade08d3c3cd25e","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1224","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1222",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
