Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)

Chapter 476 – Unexpected Result

"I should have brought more golems. What a waste."

Brocell gazed at his surviving bodyguards, aka the metal golems.

These golems were his latest creation, and he was confident in their strength. Unfortunately, most of them died due to his immature behavior, experiment, and recklessness.

More than half of them were destroyed when Brocell sent them to challenge the platform before the official qualifier round had started. And in the matching picture games, most of his golems were destroyed since they couldn't remember the tiles and react to them like how human cultivators did..

The surviving golems made it through because Brocell manually controlled them to stand on the correct tiles.

Still, Brocell collected enough feedback data. The fight against Zhao Yun proved beneficial as he had captured enough footage to analyze her abilities and his golem's weaknesses.

With this data, Brocell planned to copy Zhao Yun's fighting style. Then, he could improve his golem's mobility, reflex speed, and A.I.

He gazed at the remaining people on the platform and the screen in the sky. It showed 111 at the moment.

"AAAAHHHHHH!!"

Someone from the other corner just died. It dropped to 110.

'I can detonate all 22 of my toys and end this game, but...'

Brocell turned to Zhang Yide and Liu Xuande, who had been attacking his golems with the given knives. Strangely, the knives cut through metal golems as if they were butter.

Two of his golems went down. 108 remained.

'I knew these hoodlums would betray me. Welp, it's time to wrap things up.'

Brocell sighed as he clapped his hands and concentrated on his Dao, the Dao of Golem Dungeon.

Suddenly, 20 remaining golems around Brocell charged at Zhang Yide and Liu Xuande. They tackled them and restrained their arms, legs, and torso. Then, they dragged the two men toward the edge.

Liu Xuande and Zhang Yide resisted. They swung their knives, breaking free from the arms and hands of the golems. However, they were outnumbered.

The golems dragged the two off the platform!

They jumped into the void, trying to commit a mass suicide!

"FUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!!"

"LET GO, MOTHERFUCKERS!!"

Liu Xuande and Zhang Yide bellowed and tried to break free. However, Zhang Yide got stuck among the group of golems while Liu Xuande managed to escape and leaped back toward the platform.

Zhang Yide and the remaining golems fell into the abyss!

Brocell laughed as he believed that he had taken care of Zhang Fei. He looked at the screen in the sky again, checking the number of remaining participants.

However, the number still remained the same. Aside from his destroyed golems, it showed as 107.

"Huh? They didn't die?"

Brocell was confused. He then turned to Uriel, "Sir. If one of us were to fall into the abyss, would he be eliminated?"

Uriel shrugged, "If you mean those guys, they will be punished shortly."

"What will be their punishment?"

"Haiz. You'll see it soon."

RUMBLE

As soon as Uriel had finished speaking, the mysterious voice returned.

'Due to an accident, a group of contestants is disqualified as they have gone out of bound. However, they may reenter the Selection Tournament if they can pass the special trials... My Personal Tribulation Trial!'

BOOM

Brocell could sense that all of his fallen golems were instantly destroyed.

The number of contestants was instantly reduced to 87!

They reached the required number of remaining people here!

Brocell smirked as he thought that Zhang Yide might have died down there. He turned to Liu Xuande and opened his arms.

Thinking that the game was over, Brocell intentionally provoked Liu Xuande for fun.

"Lord Liu Bei. Without your brother, do you think you can defeat me, a Demon Lord?"

"You, you killed my brother..."

Liu Xuande's face turned red. He ground his teeth and clenched the knife in his hand.

"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!"

"Ah, yes. That's the energy. Come! Show me what you can do!"

"AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!"

Liu Xuande charged at Brocell while the latter got into a karate stance, getting ready to beat Liu Xuande with his fists.

Suddenly, the tiles on the ground turned red.

...

As soon as the tiles turned red, everyone could hear the game master's voice.

'Currently, 87 contestants remain, so everybody here has qualified to enter the Selection Tournament.'

Hearing the announcement, Guan Yunchang, Huang Hansheng, Jia Shan, Ma Ping, Miaomiao's teammates, ad other cultivators stopped fighting. They gazed at the nearest screen, waiting for the updated result.

However, a few individuals had no restraint. Dian Wei and Ma Moxi continued attacking their opponents.

SWUA

Ma Moxi claimed another life. This time, he managed to locate Liu Biao and beheaded him.

86 remained.

Meanwhile, Dian Wei thrust her front spider leg into Huang Hansheng's stomach. Then, she scooped a chunk of his flesh out.

Huang Hansheng's stomach was left with a deep hole. Yet, the archer was unperturbed.

"Damn spider! How dare you!?"

"In war, anything goes!"

Dian Wei laughed and continued using her spider legs as her primary weapon. She swung the sharp legs like swords, pushing back the archer.

Seeing that Dian Wei and Huang Hansheng continued fighting, the others also resumed attacking their opponents.

They hadn't forgotten about their primary objective - Stealing the gem on the forehead of Ling Tianlong's head.

Two of the cultivators from Ling Tianlong and Huang Hansheng's faction eyed Brocell's gem. They disengaged and rushed toward Brocell in the other direction.

However, they ran into Xiahou Dun's group. The cyclops in their true form began punching and kicking the smaller cultivators like how humans crushed small insects.

SPLAT

The 6th-stage cultivator from Mount Hua Sect was crushed underneath Xiahou Dun's giant foot. Even his Dao couldn't protect his fragile body from the massive body of the cyclops.

Xiahou Yuan also caught the other cultivator and twisted the neck with his fingers. The head came off by an accident.

As everyone was engrossed in the killing and trying to avenge their friends, the mysterious voice continued his announcement.

'Because the number of participants meets the requirement, we shall end the qualifier round after we finish this game.'

BEEP

Suddenly, the screens highlighted the remaining time of this game. 42 seconds remained until the game ended.

'After the timer reaches zero, we shall conclude this qualifier round. There won't be another pair of prey or hunter. As for the winners and the losers of this game, they will receive the rewards and the punishment accordingly. Good luck!'

Hearing the announcement, Liu Xuande's eyes turned bloodshot. His life was on the line!

He yelled at Brocell, "GIVE ME YOUR FUCKING GEM!!"

Brocell rolled his eyes, "If I pull it out, I might die. Well, come and get it yourself."

"SCREW YOU!! DIEEEEE!!"

Liu Xuande brandished his knife and thrust forward.

Brocell backhanded Liu Xuande's wrist with the knife and easily deflected it away. The latter's grip was loosened, and the knife dropped to the ground.

Brocell sidestepped and circled around Liu Xuande. He then copied Zhang Yide's previous move, pressing his palm on Liu Xuande's back and folding it into a fist.

Then, the Zero Inch Punch and the power of Brocell's Dao were unleashed.

BOOM

Unlike Miaomiao, Liu Xuande didn't have the same physique and durability. The punch sent him flying 1,000 meters!

Liu Xuande flew across the platform and fell into the abyss!

Â

Looking at his work and skill, Brocell smirked.

"Whoops. Did I hit him too hard? Welp, it doesn't matter. The gem is mine!"

"Not really."

Zhou Gongjin suddenly emerged behind Brocell and stuck his fingers into the latter's forehead.

SWUA

Utilizing his superior physical strength, Zhou Gongjin dug the gem from Brocell's forehead! The gem fell into his hands!

Brocell cried in pain, but he didn't retaliate. He glanced at Zhou Gongjin for a moment. Then, he licked his hands and finger, which had touched the wound.

There was no blood. Only Soul Qi leaked out from his forehead.

...

Instead of keeping it himself, Zhou Gongjin kicked the ground and got away from Brocell. Then, he tossed it to Miaomiao, who was rushing back to the center of the arena.

Miaomiao caught the red gem and tilted his head in confusion.

Zhou Gongjin smiled at Miaomiao, "Now, we're even."

"I don't remember owing or owning you a favor."

"You helped me kill Ling Tianlong and protect the Sun Clan. I owe you a favor."

"Oh, that?"

Miaomiao rubbed his chin and nodded. Although he still didn't get it, he pretended that he accepted the gesture and understood the hidden meaning.

A second later, they heard women's screams.

"WEI YUAN!!"

Something happened to Miaomiao's wife. The next moment, several women's screams followed.

Miaomiao widened his eyes and sprinted toward the voices. His right eyebrow also repeatedly twitched.

He had a bad feeling about this.

...

"BASTARDS!! HOW DARE YOU!?"

Seeing how Liu Xuande and Zhang Yide fell off the platform, Guan Yunchang went berserk.

BOOM

Guan Yunchang's punches and palms sent Zhao Yun, Mao Xueyan, and Mao Dandan flying.

The other women caught them, preventing them from falling into the abyss.

Guan Yunchang disengaged and charged toward Wei Yuan, who had been protecting the head of Ling Tianlong. She was busy prying the gem off the corpse.

As Wei Yuan didn't pay attention to the frontline, she was caught off guard. Guan Yunchang sent a straight punch to her face!

BOOM

Wei Yuan managed to block the strike, using Ling Tianlong's head as a shield. The head was shattered into black dust, and the red gem was knocked away by the shockwave force.

Still, her arms were smashed, and she was knocked back 20 meters before she collapsed on the ground.

"WEI YUAN!!"

Jiang Lan and others were enraged. They rushed Guan Yunchang together.

However, this War God's counterpart suddenly became unstoppable. Each punch and kick from him severely injured the women.

Jiang Lan was hit to the gut and was knocked unconscious. A high kick rocked Ju Chen and broke her jaws. A palm strike crushed Tang Ting's ribcages and sent her flying. A low hook broke Sun Yun's bones and side ribcages. A flying knee broke Pan Xiaofan's nose and front skull.

Guan Yunchang was merciless. After dealing with a dozen women on the backline, he seized Wei Yuan's blond hair and pulled her up. He also picked up the dropped gem.

But before Guan Yunchang could finish her off, Lai Wen delivered a superman punch to the red-faced man's nose.

BOOM

Guan Yunchang was faltered for the first time. The attack knocked him backward, and he released Wei Yuan.

However, his other hand was already holding the gem!

Guan Yunchang glared at Lai Wen as he sensed a strong force from her. His instinct cried that she wasn't a pushover like the other women.

"WEI YUAN!!"

Miaomiao already noticed the commotion and the carnage. He was a hundred meters away from the group, but he was hindered by the cultivators from Huang Hansheng's side.

Guan Yunchang scoffed at Miaomiao. He turned around and sprinted toward the edge of the platform, where Liu Xuande had fallen off.

Then, he jumped off along with the gem!

Before he fell, he sneered at Miaomiao, "I'll be back. Save your neck for me."

"Bastard!"

Miaomiao was frustrated. Seeing his wives getting beaten was not a pleasant experience.

BADUMP

Because of his rage, something inside Miaomiao was boiling. Everything in his sight turned red, and his breath was burning.

Two dragon wings grew out of Miaomiao's back, and his body got larger. He slowly transformed into a dragon, a mixed metal-wood dragon!

His black scales resembled Nero, but the antler horns looked similar to Cernun. His spiked dragon tail was sharper than treasure swords, and the barbed scales leaked poisonous liquid.

Cernun's memory overlapped with Miaomiao's memory. He recalled the days when Cernun was bullied by the human immortals.

Cernun was angry, and so did Miaomiao! He remembered the sensation when Cernun wanted to destroy every inferior thing around him.

While the dragon transformation hadn't finished yet, Miaomiao swung his spiked tail toward Ling Cao and his subordinates.

BOOM

Ling Cao and the Mount Hua Sect's elders widened their eyes in shock and disbelief. Their bodies got punctured by the spikes.

BOOM

Miaomiao slammed the tail on the floor and crushed everything below it. At the direction where the tail had landed, several remnants of Qiang Sui's subordinates were there!

Those men were crushed along with the people that got stuck by the barbed dragon scales.

10 Cultivators were crushed to death!

Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and the cyclops retreated in a panic. Yan Liang and Wen Chou also ran away from Miaomiao in fright.

Jian Meng and Jian Yong, who had been avoiding the fight so far, also fled the scene. They stood on the edge of the platform, getting ready to jump off if Miaomiao were to chase after them.

Miaomiao growled like a mindless beast. He turned to the nearest cultivators.

But they were his allies! They belonged to Jia Shan, Wei Yuan, and Ma Moxi's teams!

"Miaomiao! This is me, Kang Yan!"

Kang Yan stood in front of Miaomiao to warn him. The other girls also waved their arms.

"Miaomiao!! That's enough!! We won!"

"Miaomiao, Wei Yuan and others are okay! We have the elixir!! Once the game ends, we can heal her!"

The women could tell that Miaomiao was enraged. They needed to calm him down before he went berserk.

After all, Xu Chu had educated them well. They were aware that dragons were possessive and had a vile temper. They were also prone to destroy things when their reverse scales had been touched.

Miaomiao possessed a few dragon bloodlines and two dragon elements at the moment, which influenced his mentality.

Now that the restrains and the shackles of Miaomiao's dark side, aka his wives, were touched, the pending evil desire that he had been accumulating throughout the years exploded. The sadistic, sinister, and selfish side of Miaomiao resurfaced along with his rage!

"Move! Don't get in my way!"

Surprisingly, Miaomiao still managed to speak and warn his wives.

The yin slaves sensed the emotion of their master. Fearing for the worse, they opened a way for him.

However, the way they had opened would lead to the edge of the platform, where Guan Yunchang and Liu Xuande had fallen.

Miaomiao raised his body and flapped his wings. He leaped over the group and chased after Guan Yunchang and Liu Xuande.

The girls screamed in shock, thinking that Miaomiao was committing suicide.

WHOOSH

While everyone was in shock, a loyal assassin picked up the red gem that Miaomiao had dropped and chased after him.

Ma Moxi also jumped to the abyss! He also turned around to tell the others.

"I'll protect him. You girls concentrate on the selection tournament!"
