Chapter 491: 3rd-Rated Villains = Cat Food (2/2)
Miaomiao laughed and shook his head, ”This is what you get for being overbearing. Hasn't any protagonist taught you not to offend a suspicious guy with an abnormally weak cultivation base? Isn't it obvious that I'm out of place, but I have the guts to look down on you? What are the chances that I'm a stupid country-bumpkin? What are the chances that I might be an immortal that has been hiding his cultivation base?”
”…”
The guard leader couldn't understand Miaomiao. Still, he blamed the latter for his loss.
”You… Mao Miaomiao! I've remembered your name! The Seven Great Clans will not let you leave this continent alive!”
”Such a cliché proclamation from a third-rated villain. Now, you make me feel like a protagonist… Oh wait, I stole the luck of those guys, so I'm the protagonist here. No wonder these people have a minus IQ.”
While Miaomiao was making fun of his current situation, the guard leader sent his voice transmission to his superior officers.
”You're dead! I've called the elders of the Zhang Clan! They know where you are now!”
Miaomiao took several deep breaths and nodded several times. He understood now why protagonists in novels loved to face-slap these people.
Still, Devil told him that protagonists usually behaved like a mass-murderer. Miaomiao didn't want to become one of the edgy righteous killers, who killed the young and endlessly offended the old. He changed his mindset from an overbearing protagonist to a crafty villain. However, this villain was on the bonker's side.
”You know what? I'll let you go. Hey, Meowmeow! If you're done eating, come down. We need to report ourselves before the sunset!”
”You're not going anywhere!”
The guard leader had enough. He charged at Miaomiao with his spear and activated his soul domain.
The spear Dao and his domain were similar to Ma Ping's power. A hundred spear tips appeared around Miaomiao and struck him.
However, they failed to puncture through his skin.
Miaomiao's tender jade skin turned into black dragon scales. A visor helmet with a phoenix-feather cap manifested, and he turned into a Dragonewt-War God hybrid.
The guard captain noticed that his attack was ineffective against Miaomiao. He figured the latter's strength, ”A physique cultivator, I see! But 6th-stage trash can't possibly defeat an 8th-stage cultivator!”
Miaomiao laughed and mimicked Dio Brando's voice, ”I can say the same. A 3rd-rated villain's potential is finite. Even your soul domain technique is… MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA DA!!”
”What?!”
”A monkey can't possibly stand against a human, AND YOU'RE THE MONKEY DA, JOJO!!”
”Who's Jojo?!”
Miaomiao leaped toward the guard captain, who countered with a flurry spear technique.
The guard captain's illusion spears barraged on Miaomiao's scale armor and his visor mask. Each strike contained the Dao of Spearsmanship, which slowly chipped the scales and the armor of Miaomiao.
However, Miaomiao's armor and scales self-repaired every second. He stood there and waved his arms, leisurely gathering his Dao and circulating his Qi.
As soon as the guard got into his range, Miaomiao drew Killer Queen.
The katana suddenly woke up after a long slumber. She complained as soon as she woke up.
'You finally feel like using me?! I was so bored that I thought I was abandoned! Now, where's my food?!'
Miaomiao injected his Dao and activated the Vampiric Touch techniques to the black katana. Then, KQ understood his intention.
She cackled and circulated her Qi into Miaomiao's arm.
The sword and the swordsman became one. Then, Miaomiao slowly hacked down while he ignored the spear strikes.
The guard captain sneered at the slow attack. He purposely grabbed the blade with his hand, planning to steal the Heaven-Grade treasure, believing that it couldn't possibly harm him.
As soon as he touched Killer Queen, his soul Qi suddenly vanished. Everything was sucked into the blade. Even his dantian was dried.
His soul physique cracked as there was no energy left inside his body.
The captain, the guards, and the bystanders widened their eyes in disbelief. They were confused why the captain suddenly lost all his Qi.
”A third-rate villain's role is always cannon fodder. You are nothing more than EXP for me. Well then, where is your spatial ring?”
Without waiting for the captain to react, Miaomiao chopped off the guard's hand and pulled out three spatial rings. He ignored his opponent and checked the contents.
Two rings only contained necessity pills, essence cores, and clothes. However, the glowing one contained a bright grimoire.
The cover was written – Record of Divine Spear
Miaomiao laughed. His protagonist's plot armor was still strong. Indeed, he scored big after defeating a silly villain on his first try.
”This is why protagonists are haxxors. Well, I can't complain.”
”M-My spatial rings…”
The guard captain trembled as he fell on his knees. Both his feet already crumbled into dust as no soul Qi remained in his body. Soon, he would disappear from the world.
Miaomiao bonked the captain with KQ's blunt edge, and the head was broken like a crumbling sandcastle.
Just like that, Miaomiao killed a real-world 8th-stage cultivator for the first time.
”H-He's dead?”
”A-A-A sixth-stage cultivator killed an 8th-stage cultivator?”
From the local's perspective, Miaomiao's deed was unheard of. No nascent soul cultivator could be an 8th-stage cultivator's opponent due to the gap in their big realms. Yet, Miaomiao easily killed one in front of them.
Their understanding of the world was turned upside down. They couldn't believe what they saw.
Miaomiao ignored the crowd's reaction and looked up, and the cat had already come down. They were ready to leave.
Unfortunately, in novels, after a protagonist killed a young rival, a stronger relative of the dead rival would always come out for revenge. These people could be an elder sibling, a spouse, a parent, an uncle, an elder, a patriarch of a clan, or even the undying ancient ancestor of the rival's clan.
There was even a proverb – Kills the young, comes the old.
WHOOSH
Three elderly men in black robes descended and surrounded Miaomiao. Two of them emitted the aura of 9th-stage cultivators while the other one was an immortal!
”WHO CAUSES A STRIFE HERE?! IDENTIFY YOURSELF!”
Miaomiao rolled his eyes and sent his voice transmission to Uriel.
'A little help, please. I don't want to kill these fools and become a full-fledged protagonist. Let me live like a villain or a neutral character.'
Before Uriel could even reply, Meowmeow already lunged at the immortal elder. He caught the elder in his tentacles.
”MORE FOOD, MUNYA!”
Killer Queen also cried, 'I'M HUNGRY! WHERE'S MY FOOD?!'
”…”
Miaomiao facepalmed. These two's appetite was on par with Dian Wei.
