Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 618 Injuries

"This power is truly terrifying!" Xu Yao said with a solemn expression, a hint of fear appearing in his eyes.

He could clearly feel that power gradually increasing, eventually reaching its peak.

A series of deafening explosions rang out, and Xu Yao was thrown back by the force of the blast.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.

He quickly swallowed a healing pill and then sat cross-legged to repair his injuries.

However, due to the severity of his injuries, he was unable to fully recover.

"Hmph! I didn't expect this old man's strength to be so terrifying."

"If it weren't for the dragon scales protecting me, I would definitely have died at his hands."

Xu Yao's face turned deathly pale, and he sighed softly as he murmured.

"However, it's all thanks to the dragon scales protecting its master, otherwise I'd probably be dead by now." Xu Yao's face was icy, and his eyes flashed with cold light.

Inside a magnificent hall, a man in purple robes stood quietly in the center.

His eyes were as deep as stars, and he exuded an ethereal and transcendent aura that made people want to prostrate themselves at his feet in worship.

"Is this the awe-inspiring presence of a Martial Emperor?" The purple-robed man narrowed his eyes, a wicked smile curving his lips.

"I never expected to meet you again." A loud voice echoed through the void.

The man in purple frowned slightly, then a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. He slowly stepped into the void.

"So it was you! I didn't expect the boy from back then to have grown up to this extent." The man in purple grinned.

"I never expected you to dare trespass into my Demon Emperor's Palace!" The black-robed elder glared at Xu Yao with a face full of resentment.

"Old dog, you will pay the price for your stupidity today!" Xu Yao grinned and chuckled.

Upon hearing Xu Yao's address to him, the old man in black robes flew into a rage, his face contorted like a demon.

"You brat, you're asking for death!" the black-robed elder roared as he charged toward Xu Yao.

He swung his fist, sending a terrifying gust of wind crashing down on Xu Yao.

Xu Yao fearlessly stepped forward and punched the black-robed old man in the chest.

A muffled thud was heard, and the old man in black robes was sent flying several meters away.

His chest was caved in, and a trickle of crimson blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Let's see what you have to offer me this time!"

The old man in black robes wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a sinister and vicious glint in his eyes, and said in a venomous tone.

"I said I would kill you today," Xu Yao said, enunciating each word clearly.

Xu Yao clenched his fist again and charged toward the old man in black robes, punching him in the chest.

With a crisp crack, the old man in black robes was sent flying backward, crashing into the cave wall before collapsing to the ground.

All the bones in his body were shattered, and he was barely breathing.

The booming explosions echoed continuously in the empty valley.

The old man in black robes crashed against the stone wall, his internal organs shattered by the terrifying lightning strike.

Xu Yao stared at the thundercloud vortex in mid-air, his mouth slightly open as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it, what is this guy up to?"

Xu Yao looked extremely grim. He scanned his surroundings but did not find Xiao Yifeng.

At this moment, Xu Yao suddenly sensed a strange and terrifying aura descending.

"You dare to ambush me, kid!"

At that moment, a roar filled with boundless rage came from the sea of ​​thunder.

A colossal, illusory thunder unicorn appeared in the void.

Its body was crimson red, and it was crackling with lightning.

A pair of lantern-like eyes stared at Xu Yao with a cold and intimidating glint.

A raging inferno erupted, causing the void to tremble.

The Thunder Qilin spat out a terrifying bolt of lightning that hurtled towards Xu Yao, like a meteorite tearing through the void.

Xu Yao's expression changed rapidly as he activated the dragon scales within his body, appearing to be fighting desperately.

"I offer my soul as a sacrifice, and beg the divine thunder to grant me power..."

As Xu Yao chanted an incantation, a dazzling golden light shot out from the dragon scale and entered his head.

Instantly, the dragon scales released a terrifying dragon's might, and the golden patterns on them emitted a dazzling light.

The pressure emanating from this dragon scale was even more terrifying.

Xu Yao waved his palm, causing the dragon scales to float in front of him, releasing a terrifying and mysterious dragon might.

"Go!" Xu Yao said solemnly, then thrust out a palm.

The dragon scales transformed into a golden streak of light, instantly traversing the void and colliding with the terrifying lightning.

A deafening explosion reverberated throughout the space, and a destructive aura spread outwards.

Xu Yao coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body staggering backward, his face pale.

At this moment, an old man in white robes appeared out of thin air in front of Xu Yao, his cloudy eyes staring at him.

Xu Yao looked at the white-robed old man in front of him and solemnly called out.

At this moment, the dragon scale in Xu Yao's hand transformed into a golden light and landed in the white-robed old man's hand.

"Hmm, not bad. You were actually able to activate the dragon scales. It seems your talent is indeed very strong."

The white-robed elder looked at the dragon scale in Xu Yao's hand and spoke with admiration.

Then the white-robed elder looked at Xu Yao and said, "Now that the dragon scales have been activated, leave this place quickly."

"You leave here first, I will block this divine lightning from the heavens!" the white-robed elder said in a deep voice.

"No, Master, your identity cannot be exposed!" Xu Yao shook his head.

"Stop talking nonsense, I know what you're worried about."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine," the white-robed old man said indifferently, before disappearing from the scene.

The dragon scales floated in front of Xu Yao, radiating a dazzling golden light.

The golden light grew stronger and stronger, eventually illuminating the entire mountain range.

Xu Yao sat cross-legged on the ground, his body plunging directly into the dragon scales.

As Xu Yao entered the dragon scale, it immediately shot into the sky, unleashing a terrifying dragon roar.

The entire cave was blown apart, and the cave was completely destroyed.

A golden light spread out, obscuring the entire cave and making it impossible to see the scene inside.

At this moment, two old men in black robes appeared outside the cave, their eyes fixed on the cave with a hint of wariness.

At this moment, seven or eight martial artists at the peak of the Martial King realm appeared here.

They were the powerful members of the Beiming family, and warriors from other forces were also gathering here.

"I never expected that the Xu clan would have such a heaven-defying treasure. It seems that even the heavens are helping me."

"Once I refine this heaven-defying treasure, even a Martial Emperor might not be my match."

The old man in black robes spoke excitedly, his eyes gleaming.

"Sect Master, I discovered these dragon scales first, so they rightfully belong to me!" the black-robed elder said coldly to Xu Yao.

“I have already acknowledged him as my master,” Xu Yao said, pointing to the dragon scales.

"Hmph, brat, how dare you steal my dragon scales! You're courting death!"

The old man in black robes roared through gritted teeth, his expression twisted and ferocious.

"Old man, get out of here!" Xu Yao shouted coldly, his eyes wide open.
