Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! - Chapter 512 Chong Sheng's Last Stand
Chapter 512 Chong Sheng’s Last Stand
Chong Sheng’s eyes narrowed.
There was only one option left now.
To kill Bai Zihan!
The moment Bai Zihan stepped within striking distance-
He moved.
Boom!
His aura erupted violently.
Dark, turbulent qi surged out of his body like a raging storm, tearing through the already distorted air.
“Die!”
Chong Sheng roared as he moved.
The shadows around him twisted violently.
In an instant-
They condensed.
A dark, crescent-shaped scythe formed in his grasp, its blade flickering like a living shadow.
It emitted a chilling aura, as if capable of severing both body and soul.
Without hesitation-
He swung it down toward Bai Zihan.
Slash!
The shadow scythe tore through the air, leaving behind a distorted trail of darkness as it descended toward Bai Zihan’s chest.
But-
Bai Zihan remained calm.
His Eternal Spirit Sword rose.
Clang! Clang!
The two forces collided violently.
Sparks of spiritual energy scattered in all directions as the shadow scythe was blocked head-on.
A sharp metallic resonance echoed through the battlefield.
Chong Sheng’s expression twisted.
Bai Zihan stood there, not even pushed back a single step.
(That monstrous strength…)
But at that moment, his eyes flashed with determination.
“Looks like I have to go all out!”
Without hesitation-
He bit down on his tongue.
Pfft!
A mouthful of blood sprayed into the air.
His hands formed rapid seals.
The blood did not fall-
Instead, it burned.
“Blood Fiend Ascension!”
Boom!!!
A violent surge of energy exploded from Chong Sheng’s body.
His aura skyrocketed.
Veins bulged across his skin as his qi surged wildly, burning through his own
essence.
His cultivation-
Forcefully climbed.
From early Void Refinement-
To Mid, Top and then Peak.
Touching the threshold of the Great Ascension Realm.
The air trembled.
Even the already damaged ground began to crack further under the pressure.
Bai Zihan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
“Oh?”
A hint of interest appeared.
As expected of a Heaven Chosen. To possess a technique that could raise one’s strength was almost a necessity.
It was definitely useful, especially when facing an opponent one could not normally defeat.
Dealing with such a technique was fairly simple.
Bai Zihan only needed to wait for its duration to end, which would leave Chong
Sheng completely vulnerable.
As for escaping-
Chong Sheng couldn’t.
With the System’s assistance, Bai Zihan would be able to track him down no
matter where he fled.
But there was no need to avoid fighting either.
If Chong Sheng were stronger, perhaps.
Chong Sheng’s breathing turned heavy.
His face paled slightly.
Activating this technique consumed a large amount of his blood essence and qi
But he had no other choice.
(This won’t last long.)
He knew it clearly.
With his current depleted qi reserves, this state could only be maintained for a
few minutes at most.
Within that time he had to kill Bai Zihan. Or at least make it impossible for him
to give chase.
“Let’s see how you fare against me now!”
His figure blurred.
Whoosh!
He shot forward like a streak of black lightning.
This time-
Faster, stronger, and far more violent.
His shadow scythe tore through the air, carrying a suffocating pressure that
distorted everything in its path.
Bai Zihan’s gaze sharpened.
He raised his sword again- Boom!!!
Another collision.
Even stronger than before.
The ground beneath Bai Zihan cracked slightly this time.
The force has increased substantially.
Clang! Clang!
The shadow scythe and sword collided again and again.
Each strike sent violent shockwaves rippling outward, tearing apart the already
ruined ground.
Chong Sheng’s aura surged higher.
Stronger, faster, and more violent.
Yet-
Bai Zihan remained exactly the same.
Unmoved.
Unshaken.
His sword rose and fell with effortless precision, each movement simple, clean,
and perfect.
And yet-
Every single strike from Chong Sheng was stopped.
Chong Sheng’s eyes widened slightly.
(This…!)
Something felt off.
With his current strength-
He should be overwhelming Bai Zihan. Even if Bai Zihan were in the Great
Ascension Realm, he thought that he could.
But instead-
He realized that nothing significant has changed despite him using Blood Fiend
Ascension to forcefully increase his cultivation.
A sharp glint flickered in his eyes.
(Sword Intent?!)
He felt it now.
It wasn’t just swordsmanship-
It was Sword Intent.
Chong Sheng’s heart trembled.
(Impossible! At his age?)
To comprehend Sword Intent as a teenager, or even in one’s twenties-
Even in the Western Region-
That would be considered a once-in-a-million-years genius.
His eyes narrowed.
(No! It’s stronger than Basic Sword Intent!)
He immediately sensed that it wasn’t merely Basic Sword Intent either. It felt
far stronger.
(Intermediate Sword Intent?)
But he immediately rejected the idea.
Even some old monsters who had spent thousands of years with the sword,
reaching the level of Supreme Immortal, had failed to grasp it.
How could Bai Zihan have achieved it?
It must be the sword.
That weapon was definitely extraordinary.
“Argh!”
Chong Sheng roared as he swung his Shadow scythe even faster.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each strike grew more violent.
More desperate.
But no matter how he attacked-
He couldn’t break through Bai Zihan’s defense.
Speed?
Even with Shadow Devouring Domain, he couldn’t outclass Bai Zihan with his
Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword Technique.
Power?
Inferior! With Bai Zihan’s Sword Intent and the artifact Sword, overpowering
him seemed quite difficult.
Technique?
He has better techniques for certain but Bai Zihan wasn’t too bad either.
He was lacking in almost everything to kill Bai Zihan.
His breathing turned ragged.
His body trembled slightly.
(Not enough!)
A flash of madness crossed his eyes.
“Then-“
His voice turned hoarse.
“I’ll go all out!”
Boom!!! His aura surged again.
But this time, it wasn’t just qi that was being consumed.
His life essence.
Cracks began to appear across his skin as blood seeped out.
His aura twisted violently.
Unstable and Dangerous.
“I’ll increase my cultivation further-!”
“Right here! Right now!”
A terrifying pressure began to descend.
The surrounding space trembled.
Even the heavens seemed to faintly respond. Chong Sheng’s cultivation forcefully rose again.
Crossing that final boundary-
Touching the Great Ascension Realm!
His eyes turned bloodshot.
His body trembled violently.
(I can only muster one attack…) He knew.
After this-
Win or lose-
He would be completely powerless.
But that was enough.
It had to be enough.
A twisted smile appeared on his lips because he understood something clearly.
Bai Zihan would not dodge. Too confident!
Too arrogant!
He would block it just like the rest of his attacks.
And that would be his death.
Chong Sheng raised his scythe.
The shadows around him surged wildly, converging into the blade.
His qi-
His blood-
His life essence-
All burned together. The scythe trembled.
Then-
Stabilized. A terrifying aura spread outward.
Even the air seemed to scream. “This attack…” Chong Sheng’s voice was low. Filled with madness.
“Will definitely hurt!” “Netherworld Soul-Reaping Scythe!”
The blade darkened-
Then brightened with a sinister crimson glow.
With this, he was sure that he could kill even an Immortal Ascension Realm cultivator.
The world seemed to fall silent.
All of his power condensed into that single strike.
Chong Sheng stepped forward.
And swung.
Slash-!!!
The moment Chong Sheng’s final strike descended-
The world seemed to darken.
All sound vanished.
Only that single, terrifying slash remained.
And in response, Bai Zihan also made his move with seriousness.
His fingers tightened slightly around the hilt.
“Fate Severing Slash!”
The space around his blade seemed to fracture.
As if even fate itself had been cut apart.
Then he swung. A simple motion.
No grand display.
No overwhelming pressure.
Just one clean slash.
Clang-!!!
The two attacks collided.
For a single instant-
Time froze.
Then-
Crack!
Chong Sheng’s expression froze. His Netherworld Soul-Reaping Scythe Attack Shattered!
The terrifying power he had gathered had split apart.
The shadows collapsed.
BOOOM!
The shockwave that followed swept across the land.
But at the center-
Bai Zihan stood unmoved.
Not a single step back.
Not a single scratch on his body. Completely unharmed.
Chong Sheng’s pupils shrank to pinpoints. (Im…possible…)
His body trembled.
The scythe in his hand had already disappeared.
His arms hung limply at his sides.
All of his strength was now gone.
The final strike that burned his very life- All of it…
Had meant nothing.
“Ugh-!”
A mouthful of blood burst from his lips.
His knees buckled.
Thud!
He collapsed onto the ground.
The earth cracked slightly beneath him.
His vision blurred.
His breathing became erratic.
The backlash from Blood Fiend Ascension had arrived.
The forced breakthrough…
The complete exhaustion of his qi… Everything hit him at once. His meridians burned.
His body felt like it was being torn apart from within.
He couldn’t even move a finger.
Chong Sheng clenched his teeth.
Anger!
Frustration!
Unwillingness!
All surged within him.
Normally, no matter the circumstance even when it seemed impossible, with
his cunningness and luck, he was able to easily overturn the outcome.
He thought that it shall be the same this time, only to be proven wrong.
But-
There was nothing he could do.
Nothing at all.
Before him, Bai Zihan slowly lowered his sword.
His expression is calm, almost indifferent. He hasn’t used his full power and hold back, otherwise with Fate Severing
Slash, Chong Sheng wouldn’t even have his dead body.
He still has some use for Chong Sheng. It would have been a shame if he died
after he deliberately tried to not kill him.
Now that he has exhausted almost everything, Bai Zihan thought that Chong Sheng shouldn’t be able to escape.
