Terrifying power surged as if piercing through the cosmos itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the figures rushing in from every direction were instantly annihilated by that overwhelming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blood Prison Thirteen Cities,” Xu Zimo sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Send someone who can actually talk. Come and speak with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo’s methods were clearly too domineering. The surrounding figures paused for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder you dared to come in. So you do have a bit of skill,” a hoarse voice said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, the black fog around them thickened even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the fog, a blood-colored figure slowly walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a burly man wearing armor, his physique massive and imposing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy, oppressive energy radiated from him. His surging blood mist rumbled like thunder, suppressing the void itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man looked at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly raised his hand and beckoned. “Come. Beat me, and I’ll take you to see the Prison Lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, the man charged forward like an enraged bull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire body seemed to roar as he crashed straight ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo shifted slightly to the side, dodging the blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thunderous crash, the man slammed into a nearby hall, unstoppable in momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire structure collapsed, reduced to ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man turned around, his momentum unbroken, and charged again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Xu Zimo did not dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gripped Shadow Tyrant, eager to test it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the man closed in, Xu Zimo slashed downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was split cleanly in two and exploded into a cloud of blood mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Xu Zimo frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized the man was not dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood mist rapidly retreated and reassembled at a distance, reforming the man’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he had been resurrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo sensed a strange power at work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resurrected man looked pale, and fear flickered in his eyes as he looked at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just died once. If not for the peculiar nature of the Blood Prison Thirteen Cities, he would have truly perished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come here and let me cut you a few more times,” Xu Zimo said with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This resurrection trick is somewhat interesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madman,” the man cursed shakily, still shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo could tell what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s resurrection was not some miraculous ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strictly speaking, the man was already dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What existed now was merely a spirit body formed by a special power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo carefully sensed the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the peculiarity of the Mirage Tides Heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no living people here. Only the dead could enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the beings within the Blood Prison Thirteen Cities were essentially spirit entities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the nature of this special power, Xu Zimo had not yet fully grasped it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one thing was certain. This power only worked within the Mirage Tides Heaven and was useless elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who exactly are you?” the man stared at Xu Zimo, extremely wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, are you the boss here?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course not. The Prison Lord is the true ruler,” the man shook his head hurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You want to see the Prison Lord?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m going to Jade Court. I came here to ask for directions,” Xu Zimo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you know the way, I don’t even need to see him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jade Court?” The man burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once you enter the Blood Prison Thirteen Cities, you think you can still leave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re dreaming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like I didn’t kill you enough just now,” Xu Zimo narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s laughter abruptly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Prison Lord isn’t someone anyone can meet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I destroy the Blood Prison Thirteen Cities, will I get to meet him then?” Xu Zimo asked calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not know the rules of the Blood Prison Thirteen Cities, nor did he care to know them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no interest in wasting time here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are rules?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exist to be broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do the strong need to follow rules?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rules are made for the weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You do have some skill, but you’re ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Destroy our Blood Prison Thirteen Cities?” the man scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Unless hell itself descends, that proves impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hell? You call the depths of the Mirage Tides Heaven hell?” Xu Zimo smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even hell wouldn’t necessarily be more terrifying than me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell, a loud boom echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo vanished from where he stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, he appeared before the man, grabbing him by the throat and lifting him into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know you can resurrect. Want to gamble on this? I’ll make it so you can’t even be a ghost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xu Zimo’s aura was vicious and overwhelming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His terrifying presence crushed down like collapsing mountains, suppressing the man so completely he could barely speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man stared at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, he finally said, “What do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take me to see this so-called Prison Lord,” Xu Zimo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My rank is too low. I can’t even meet the Prison Lord,” the man explained anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You just need to lead the way,” Xu Zimo said, waving his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tossed the man aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man coughed violently a few times, then stood up and cautiously began leading the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Prison Thirteen Cities consisted of thirteen interconnected cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city Xu Zimo currently stood in was Blood Prison First City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also the main city among the thirteen, located at the very core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each city had a City Sovereign, and all City Sovereigns answered to the Prison Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that the Prison Lord was sent by the Mirage Tides Heaven to oversee the Thirteen Cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Prison Lord had ties to hell itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the man carefully led the way, Xu Zimo could feel numerous gazes, faint yet persistent, landing on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment he entered the Blood Prison Thirteen Cities, he had been watched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, more and more figures were gathering in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were waiting for an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An opportunity to kill Xu Zimo in a single decisive strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A foul wind swept through the city, thick with the stench of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the street, Xu Zimo began to see corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, skeletons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bones lay scattered across the ground, all flesh long since devoured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are all people who trespassed into the Blood Prison Thirteen Cities,” the man explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he was trying to intimidate Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep moving,” Xu Zimo said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With corpses still fresh and the air heavy with bloodshed, more and more figures gathered around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet not a single one dared to strike first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These spirit entities were extremely perceptive. They could sense Xu Zimo’s terrifying strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blood energy burned like a furnace, like a blazing sun illuminating the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so overwhelming that no spirit dared to act rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They continued forward like this until they finally stopped in front of a vast plaza.\u003C\u002Fp>",1227,"2026-06-06T01:07:29.809Z",1,"novelbin.me","41d35c7f06da8c99e2a9acae088555a4f64e07dfe82c59e52564c8b453bf4e2d","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1786","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-1784",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
