Twenty. More and more fell before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a spectacle drew the attention of the host family, the House of Fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the gambling den, someone even set a bet on Xu Zimo winning one hundred matches in a row. But most people didn’t think much of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew that once someone started winning too much, the House of Fury would secretly intervene. They wouldn’t allow that kind of streak to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person in charge of the House of Fury’s arena was the Patriarch’s younger brother, Nu Shiwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, after listening to a report from a subordinate, Nu Shiwu frowned slightly and said, “What do you mean there’s no one left in the hundred-tier division who can fight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not that there’s no one,” the subordinate replied hesitantly. “Young Master Dark Blade hasn’t gone up yet. But we can’t control him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fools,” Nu Shiwu said coldly. “Dark Blade doesn’t care about fusion stones. He’s at the arena purely to refine his meridian techniques and gain combat experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go tell him there’s a youth his age dominating the arena. If he still considers himself a sword heir, he’ll definitely take the challenge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes sir, I’ll go now,” the subordinate replied quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at the arena, Xu Zimo had already won twenty-nine matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the hundred-tier waiting area, there was basically no one left, or more accurately, no one dared to go up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, no one had survived even one strike from him. Stepping onto the stage meant only one thing: death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no one entering, the hundred-tier division entered a short period of silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience began discussing among themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With no one stepping up, how’s this match supposed to continue?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just wait. If no one shows up, the thousand-tier or even ten-thousand-tier division guys might come. They’re just waiting for the betting odds to peak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think he’s aiming to win a hundred in a row? Since the arena was founded, no one’s ever managed that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not likely. Do you know how hard it is to win a hundred straight? There’s no rest in the hundred-tier bracket. Does he even have enough spiritual energy left? What about injuries and fatigue? Plus, the opponents get stronger the longer it goes on. It’s unrealistic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the speculation grew, the waiting area doors opened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A refined young man walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Young Master Dark Blade,” someone on the stage shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loudest voices came from the women in the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man wore a long robe with tied sleeves and flowing ribbons. The robe had four layers, with white and light blue on the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The collar was patterned with white and blue swirling clouds, while the shoulders had white ribbons and blue gems. The outer robe had subtle wave-patterned dark textures that were hard to notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was clear, and his long black hair was tied into a topknot with a black hairpin. A white band was tied around his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a high nose bridge, fair skin, sword-shaped eyebrows, and bright eyes, anyone who saw him would sigh and say, “What a handsome face.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his waist hung a blue-and-white longsword. The characters “Sword Heir” were engraved on the blade, along with other unreadable runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aura was otherworldly, like a character from ancient poetry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dark Blade,” the young man said calmly, looking at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Dark Blade finally stepped up,” some of the women watching said admiringly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the men scoffed at his appearance, but no one could deny his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since coming to Fury City three years ago, he’s held the top spot in the hundred-tier division.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, he’s won fifty-four straight matches. That’s the current record.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People discussed animatedly. The ten-thousand-tier division didn’t count, since it was filled with old monsters with long cultivation histories, no match for the younger generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thousand-tier division consisted of established veterans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hundred-tier division, aside from a few low-level cultivators, was mainly a battleground for the younger generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to arena rules, those in the hundred-tier division could challenge up to the thousand-tier three times per month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winning a challenge would earn them a spot in the thousand-tier matches. The same went for thousand-tier challengers wanting to ascend to the ten-thousand-tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To keep things fair, ten-thousand-tier cultivators also had three opportunities per month to fight down in the hundred- and thousand-tier matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But usually, the top-tier fighters didn’t bother stepping down. The rewards were smaller, and most people wouldn’t dare face them anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only in cases like Xu Zimo’s, when someone dominated an entire bracket and the betting odds surged, would they take interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Blade was surrounded by sword intent as he calmly looked at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the sound of a blade being drawn rang out, Dark Blade closed his eyes slightly and drew his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the swirling sword energy, he dispersed Xu Zimo’s blade aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the blade aura was neutralized, the force within still made Dark Blade take three steps back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Blade’s pupils shrank. As he drew his sword, wind and thunder surged around the blade, and sword intent surged skyward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re strong,” Dark Blade said, looking at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what, planning to surrender?” Xu Zimo asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only the strong are worthy of battle,” Dark Blade replied firmly, stepping his right foot back slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held his sword in his right hand, tilting it at a slight angle. As the sword aura intensified, countless long swords formed from condensed sword energy appeared behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Myriad Swords Return To Sect,” Dark Blade said softly, thrusting his sword forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the swords behind him shot forward at once, tearing through the void, shattering space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo looked up and gently pointed his long blade forward.\u003C\u002Fp>",1162,"2026-06-06T01:06:54.961Z",1,"novelbin.me","28b4fbc875944ee6fd71d8f1f37c1470720640b4fc239c0c3b0f40c1ce5610ad","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-670","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-668",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
