Villain Cultivator Chapter 307

It had been five minutes since the lich and Ma Moxi had started fighting. Although Ma Moxi managed to hold on, the darkness domain and the lich's natural death element Qi slowly polluted his dantian, causing him to get sluggish.

As for the lich, the golden marks on its forearm expanded and covered a small area, stopping its shadow element Qi circulation. Furthermore, the golden marks hindered its movement, slowly crippling the lich's left arm, which was holding the energy hammer.

The lich glanced at the injured left forearm and glared at Ma Moxi, who had been panting.

Cack!

It decided to go all out. Instead of using the nascent soul's abilities and skills, the lich condensed its soul energy into the green staff and disabled the energy hammer.

Then, it shrank the darkness domain and locking Ma Moxi as its center, imprisoning him into a two-meter black circular cage. As a consequence of using such a technique, the lich was no longer inside the domain of blindness.

Ma Moxi punched and kicked the dark cage, but he couldn't break it. The cage domain continued to shrink, threatening to squeeze and crush him into a meatball.

The protagonist activated his Heaven and Earth Escape technique, but the imprisonment domain prevented him from leaving!

He used everything in his arsenal to attack the cage, but he couldn't put a dent in it.

"Shit!"

For the first time, Ma Moxi was desperate.

Liu Bian had been observing the situation through his system screen. As soon as he was certain that the lich had trapped Ma Moxi, he laughed.

"Ha! Take that! I don't care if you're a hero. This is what you get for being my enemy! Once I'm done with you lots, I'll rebuild my underground kingdom from scratch. I won't use any human cultivator as my subordinate next time. All my subordinates will only be my undead minions and my system familiars!"

Liu Bian envisioned his future after this incident. He hoped to lay low and build his strength in secret. Once he could reach the 7th-stage, he would come out to the world and start his little adventure to live his dream life.

After today, he would live alone. He would start over and take everything slowly.

As Liu Bian was daydreaming, the lich's lower body was destroyed. Something bright melted it from behind, and it even stunned Liu Bian.

BOOM

The pocket dimension that the lich had created was broken, and Liu Bian was pushed out of the lich's body.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!?"

Liu Bian widened his eyes in shock. He opened five system screens at once, checking his status and condition of the lich.

Ding

[Your system sponsor sweats in anxiety while he eats a handful of popcorns.]

[Kishin Douji clicks his tongue in frustration.]

[Yuan Hua bites her fingernails in bitterness.]

[Yuan Hua commands you to flee ASAP!]

[Kishin Douji has gifted you two life-saving bracelets.]

Ding

[Warning, you have been attacked by the hero, Mao Miaomiao!]

[Warning, your familiar, the Lich, has been critically injured!]

A minute earlier

"Alright, master. I've read enough."

Miaomiao had explored a bit of Lu Fengxian's memory. He had learned a lot about this protagonist's background, but Miaomiao only focused on learning one technique.

He was running out of the buff time. From 10 minutes, Miaomiao had only less than five minutes to comprehend the technique and attack the lich. Otherwise, the talisman effect would have been for nothing.

Once in a while, Miaomiao's concentration reached its peak. He went into the zone, processing the new technique, aka Elemental Qi Conversion!

The technique's core focus was the true comprehension of various Element Qi and Element Essence's traits and usage. By altering the characteristics of the Elemental Qi that one had comprehended, they could mimic the traits of each elemental power, copying the elemental Qi's traits and turn ordinary essence into elemental power.

For example, it required a lot of Yin Essence to create one strand of Water Element Qi. As for Fire Element Qi, it consumed a lot of Yang Essence instead.

By mastering the Elemental Qi Conversion technique, Miaomiao could spend Yang Essence instead of Yin, which seemed useless for someone with Life Essence. After all, he could convert his Life Essence to any element Qi as long as he had condensed the specific elemental crystal beforehand.

However, this technique was useful for converting Life Essence into a unique advanced element Qi, such as Light Element, Shadow Element, or Dragon Fire Element, as long as he had a strand of the Qi in his dantian!

The technique allowed Miaomiao to sense the general traits of each advanced element Qi that he had possessed. Then, he could mimic them by converting his Life Essence into Element Qi at a cheaper rate.

Instead of converting a liter of Life Essence to generate one strand of basic elemental Qi, Miaomiao could potentially convert a liter of Life Essence into several strands of Advanced Element Qi without a primary element core as a medium!

In short, as long as Miaomiao had a strand of an advanced element Qi as a base, he could keep converting his Life Essence to copy that advanced element Qi!

This technique bypassed the primary element core requirement. Miaomiao could simply obtain a new element Qi or form a new element crystal in his dantian as long as he had enough Life Essence!

'This technique is HAX!! Why do all protagonists always come with OP skills!? Oh, wait. I forgot that Lu Fengxian is supposed to be invincible type.'

Miaomiao smirked. He spent two minutes learning the basics.

Now, Miaomiao was ready to put the skill to a test. Without wasting his precious remaining three-minute buff, he converted a billion liters of life essence into Light Element Qi!

Because of the lack of mastery, Miaomiao obtained a billion strand of Life Element Qi in return. However, that amount was more than enough.

Since Miaomiao hadn't practiced a technique that required light element as a base, he relied on one of the system skills, which he had fused from leftover system skills during his free time.

Coincidentally, it was a rare skill, which had the same name as a certain famous magical girl's power.

Miaomiao gazed at the lich. At the moment, it had already disabled the darkness domain and imprisoned Ma Moxi inside. At this rate, the assassin would be crushed into a meatball within a few seconds.

Miaomiao tossed a bottle of unified element spring water to Lu Fengxian. Although he could kill this protagonist and rob everything at the moment, he decided to help the latter once more.

"Master, drink this. It's an upgraded dryad's hollow spring. It will heal you instantly!"

"Oh? Ha! You're full of mystery. Very well, I'll gladly take it!"

"Just recover and back me up. I'll try something!"

"Good. But first, borrow me your katana. I'll return it after I kill that lich."

Miaomiao passed KQ to Lu Fengxian.

The oni weapon threw a tantrum at first. But once she tasted a bit of Lu Fengxian's Qi, she shut her mouth.

After setting up the coordination, Miaomiao detoured around the lich, but he still kept his distance away from the previous domain range. He gathered a billion strands of Light Element Qi into his right index and middle fingertips, pointing at the lich's stomach, where it had hidden Liu Bian.

Miaomiao chanted the skill name in his mind as he activated the system skill, which required an exorbitant amount of light element Qi to activate.

The White Devil, the Icon of Battle Mahou Shoujo Era, Nanoha Takamachi, might be proud if she saw her ultimate legacy skill.

This skill was a unique system skill. It amplified the raw power of the light element. Although it consumed 100,000 strands of Light Element Qi per activation, the extra amount of light element Qi strands would be 300% more powerful.

Miaomiao spent one billion strands of light element Qi in total. Minus the activation cost, it still had the power of almost three billion strands of Qi!

Since this attack contained light element power, the firepower was 150% stronger than usual due to the OG-Buddha's talisman buffs!

Therefore, after the extra buff, this beam's raw power was equal to 7.5 billion worth of light element Qi! No 7th-stage cultivator could survive if it hit!

The lich sensed the oncoming threat. It shuttled upward, trying to dodge the giant beam.

Had it been another element Qi, it wouldn't dodge since it would have been ineffective against his soul physique.

However, the light element Qi was the bane of all undead beings! Its immunity and invincibility perk was useless against such element attacks!

This was the reason why Liu Bian dreaded Zhao Bao! The monk easily destroyed his undead army because of his light element Qi!

BOOM!

The Starlight Breaker beam instantly destroyed the lich's spinal cord and melted half of its lower body parts. Liu Bian, who had been hiding inside the pocket dimension domain in the lich's body, was also flushed out!

The lich was left with its upper half body. It glared at Mao Miaomiao in resentment as it roared.

The remaining death knights, who were about to finish off Jia Shan and other elders, suddenly came to a stop. They turned around and charged at Miaomiao as they deemed him as the greatest threat.

At the same time, the darkness cage that had been imprisoning Ma Moxi also shattered as the master lost focus of its control. Ma Moxi instantly broke out with his brute force.

After breaking out, Ma Moxi noticed the condition of the lich and Liu Bian. He also found Miaomiao, who had just finished casting the light beam spell and left behind a bright line of aurora in the void space.

Ma Moxi grinned, feeling relieved that he had such a powerful boss as a backer. He phased and disappeared, hiding his presence with the Heaven and Earth Escape technique.

Then, he went after Liu Bian, who had been flushed out!

SCREECH!

As if the lich had detected Ma Moxi's presence, it waved its staff and pointed at Liu Bian. Then, both of them were enveloped by the dark domain, which became their barrier dome.

Before the domain dome was completed, Lu Fengxian, who had recovered from his injuries, beelined toward the lich and brandished Killer Queen. His eyes left behind a trail of red flames as his sight fixated on the lines of death on the lich's domain.

SHING

Lu Fengxian only needed one move. With a single swing, the incomplete domain was broken.

Unfortunately, the lich bought enough time to pull back Liu Bian to its side. 100 meters away from them, the remaining hundreds of death knights also activated their shadow domain, focusing and targeting Miaomiao, throwing various projectile weapons and shadow spears.

Miaomiao ignored the oncoming death knights and their throwing weapons, which flew toward him. He converted another billion of Life Essence into light element Qi. Then, he reactivated the SLB, aiming at the lich once more.

CLINK CLINK CLINK

An ice element dome barrier appeared along with a semi-transparent hand of White Album, deflecting the projectile weapons and shadow spears from the death knights.

Wang Yun and other elders suddenly shadow-teleported to Miaomiao's side, floating between him and the pursuers, blocking the path of the death knights. They brandished their weapons and protected their only hope.

With White Album and the elders as helpers, Miaomiao regained his concentration and focused on aiming his fingers at the lich.

He had only two shots left. It had to hit!

The lich panicked as Miaomiao was about to complete the incantation sequence. It grabbed Liu Bian and fled with its only half upper torso, flying toward the low land tornado.

Ma Moxi suddenly reappeared before the lich. His golden dragonewt transformation was partially canceled as he ran out of Qi, but his right arm was still in the golden dragon form.

With his only right arm, Ma Moxi also used his ultimate skill.

Azure Dragon Five Elemental Palm!

The image of the azure dragon overlapped with Ma Moxi's right arm. The palm slammed onto the lich's face and turned half of its skull into gold.

The lich was confused. It was supposed to be immune to advanced element attacks, but Ma Moxi managed to inflict damage onto his physique.

But the attack wasn't over yet. Ma Moxi sneered at the lich, "Payback time, bitch! DETONATE!"

Ma Moxi detonated his gold element Qi, which had been implanted on the lich's face and its forearm.

BOOM!

The front skull and the forearm exploded. The shockwave knocked the lich's head backward.

Lu Fengxian also caught up with the lich. He pierced KQ through the back of Liu Bian's head. Then, he sliced it upward, splitting the latter's brain in half!

Yet, Liu Bian's brain and head reconnected themselves! A bracelet on his wrist shattered as the life-saving effect had been used. The ex-prince widened his eyes in panic, as he took out a talisman and tore it.

WHOOM

The lich and Liu Bian's bodies faded as if they had used Ma Moxi's Heaven and Earth Escape technique.

Ma Moxi and Lu Fengxian roared. The former entered his spiritual mode to chase after Liu Bian while Lu Fengxian injected all his remaining life essence into KQ and threw it toward the fleeing target.

BOOM

Ma Moxi managed to land a hit on the lich's broken face while KQ punctured through Liu Bian's chest, leaving a gaping hole.

Yet, another bracelet treasure on Liu Bian's wrist broke and instantly healed him!

"FUCK! HOW MANY LIFE-SAVING TREASURES DOES HE HAVE!?" Ma Moxi was astonished.

At that moment, both protagonists sensed the overwhelming light element power from Miaomiao. The latter had been aiming at their direction.

Lu Fengxian grinned. He turned to Liu Bian and pressed the latter's acupuncture points, sealing all his movements. Then, Lu Fengxian and Ma Moxi immediately flew out of Miaomiao's range.

"STAR"

"LIGHT"

"BREAKAAAAAAAAA"
