You should just leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, same race and you won’t even invite us in for a meal?” Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?” The Yellow Lizard leader finally took note of Xu Zimo and frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go up and take a look,” Xu Zimo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Going forward means death,” the Yellow Lizard snorted and extended his hands, each fingertip bearing claws several dozen centimeters long, sharp and emitting a chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo looked up toward the mountain peak. He had a strong feeling that the source of the mist lay in that direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his right hand, the Darksky Tiger stormed out from the void and stomped heavily on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless cracks split the earth, and the Yellow Lizards lost their footing, all collapsing to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive tiger’s head moved closer, its gaping maw exuding a fishy stench, stopping just a few centimeters from the Lizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“M-m-monster...” the Yellow Lizards huddled together, trembling in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the tiger clearing the way, Xu Zimo advanced toward the mountain peak with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some Yellow Lizard clansmen attempted to block the path, but the Darksky Tiger swatted them down the mountain effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo noticed that the Yellow Lizards here all cultivated, and compared to the Green and Red Lizards, their strength was on a completely different level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you stop killing them?” Green Yun pleaded from the side, clearly disturbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re the ones seeking death by blocking me,” Xu Zimo said coldly, glancing at her. “You should know your place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green Yun nodded, not daring to speak further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suddenly felt that Xu Zimo was extremely cold at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Zimo continued upward, more and more Yellow Lizards tried to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none were a match for the Darksky Tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, two distinct roars echoed from both sides of the mountainside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive black panther and a black python coiled along the cliff appeared ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Four Guardians?” Green Yun exclaimed. “Why are the Black Panther and Black Python here? Weren’t they guarding the Blue Lizards?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like your intel isn’t so accurate after all,” Xu Zimo smiled. “Do you know where the Black Dragon Palace is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Black Dragon Palace?” Green Yun shook her head. “No one knows. We can’t leave our territories. It’s a mystery.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Darksky Tiger fought the Black Panther Xu Zimo walked up toward the peak without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two beasts tried to stop him, but it was futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Zimo neared the summit, the skies above the snowy mountain suddenly darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came an earth-shaking dragon roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder and lightning tore through the sky like a storm from hell. It felt like the entire mountain was about to be swallowed and destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive Black Dragon, carrying thunder and an overwhelming dragon’s might, emerged from the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black storm swirled in the sky above, forming a vortex of devouring energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Human, you should not have come here,” the Black Dragon King’s voice boomed like thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this mysterious power?” Xu Zimo said with some enjoyment, feeling the intensifying mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Strange Meridian Sutra absorbed the mist, and with each meridian opened, his body transformed more and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can sense it?” The Black Dragon King looked at Xu Zimo in shock. “So, you’ve obtained that cultivation method too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean the Strange Meridian Sutra?” Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strange Meridian Sutra?” The Black Dragon King muttered, then said, “You humans sure know how to name things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like you know quite a bit,” Xu Zimo smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Human, since you’re here, you’re not leaving. Knowing too much won’t end well,” the Black Dragon King roared and lunged at Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enormous dragon head, brimming with thunderous might, lunged to devour Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re not qualified to be my opponent,” Xu Zimo said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his right hand, two dragons flew out from his God World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One red, one blue, Twin Dragon Gods of Ice and Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being nurtured and cultivated on the God World, the Dragon Race had finally taken root and begun to flourish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the twin dragons appeared, their fusion of ice and fire suppressed the heavens. Their vast spiritual energy surged like a never-ending ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Dragon King’s head was smacked away by a single tail swipe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How... how is this possible?” The Black Dragon King stared in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finish it,” Xu Zimo ordered, then walked up to the mountain summit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once at the peak, Xu Zimo closed his eyes, emptied his thoughts, and took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel it... I can feel it. The source is right here,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, looking at the empty mountaintop, he smiled and said, “Still hiding? Do I have to blast you all out one by one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, arrogance leads to a bad end,” an aged voice echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the space before him twisted, and four figures stepped out from the broken void with overwhelming presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four elders, all wearing identical robes, though in different colors: red, blue, green, and yellow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the four elders appeared, Green Yun stood stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rubbed her eyes and stammered in disbelief, “T-the four Patriarchs?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1067,"2026-06-06T01:06:54.961Z",1,"novelbin.me","ec83510a44df4ca4397408c1ee2786f4320a94458cdd852f841d9aeeae731a20","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-686","i-really-am-a-villain-chapter-684",1822,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-really-am-a-villain-cover.jpg"]
