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

Chapter 633 Beads

He then opened his eyes, and a long sword gleaming with a cold light appeared in his hand.

He stepped into the void and charged towards Nangong Ao, his longsword creating a sky full of sword shadows that enveloped the entire void.

"Xu Yao, Xu Yao, I never expected you to break through to the Innate Realm!" Nangong Ao looked at Xu Yao and sneered.

Xu Yao did not answer, but instead brandished his long sword and slashed at Nangong Ao.

Nangong Ao's expression changed slightly, and he quickly retreated.

With a loud bang, the ground beneath Nangong Ao's feet was instantly blasted open, forming a huge crater.

"What a powerful attack! But Xu Yao, do you really think you can defeat me with just a mere early-stage Innate Realm cultivator? You're dreaming!"

Nangong Ao's tone was full of sarcasm.

Xu Yao ignored Nangong Ao, knowing that Nangong Ao's strength far surpassed his own.

That one move alone was not enough to defeat Nangong Ao.

Looking up at the sky, a red bead floated in mid-air, emitting a bewitching red light.

"Nangong Ao, I will never let you go!" Xu Yao roared.

Nangong Ao ignored Xu Yao and looked at the red bead.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yao rushed over, but Nangong Ao blocked him.

With a sinister look in his eyes, he suddenly pulled a dagger from his pocket, a black mist enveloping the weapon.

Xu Yao flung the dagger with all his might, and with a whoosh, it flew out of his hand, slicing through the air and heading straight for Nangong Ao.

Nangong Ao frowned and quickly dodged the dagger.

Even so, Nangong Ao's clothes were still torn in several places.

"Damn it!" Nangong Ao muttered.

At this moment, Xu Yao rushed over again, but instead of using a weapon, he punched Nangong Ao.

Nangong Ao chose to avoid a direct confrontation with Xu Yao, after all, the gap between the Innate Realm and the Acquired Realm is enormous.

Although Nangong Ao is a peak Innate Realm expert, his strength is at most comparable to that of a late-stage Innate Realm expert.

Nangong Ao dodged a few times, then seized the opportunity to grab Xu Yao's wrist.

A smile curved Xu Yao's lips as he turned his other hand from a fist to a palm and slashed at Nangong Ao.

Nangong Ao hadn't expected Xu Yao to have this trick up his sleeve. In this critical situation, he quickly released his grip on Xu Yao's hand and stepped aside to avoid him.

With a loud bang, Xu Yao's palm struck the ground, instantly raising a cloud of dust.

Nangong Ao frowned. Xu Yao actually dared to ambush him? This was unforgivable!

Xu Yao missed his first attack, then threw a punch at Nangong Ao.

Nangong Ao caught Xu Yao's punch, and Xu Yao retaliated by punching Nangong Ao in the chest.

Blood splattered everywhere, and Nangong Ao spat out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes widened in disbelief; he never imagined that a peak Innate Realm expert would cough up blood.

"Hmph!" Xu Yao snorted coldly, and without stopping, he continued to rush towards Nangong Ao.

Nangong Ao's chest heaved violently. He wiped the blood from his mouth and rushed towards Xu Yao.

Xu Yao's fist landed heavily on Nangong Ao's abdomen again.

Nangong Ao screamed and flew backward, crashing into a rockery and shattering it. Blood spilled from his mouth.

Nangong Ao lay on the ground, barely alive, a heart-wrenching pain emanating from his body.

It felt as if all the bones in my body had broken.

Xu Yao slowly walked up to Nangong Ao and looked down at him.

"You should feel desperate now, right?" Xu Yao said coldly.

Nangong Ao struggled to raise his head and look at Xu Yao standing in front of him.

"I'm not reconciled!" Nangong Ao said through gritted teeth.

"So what if you're not willing to accept it?" Xu Yao mocked.

"Aren't you a powerful expert at the Innate Realm? Aren't you invincible? How could you lose to me?" Nangong Ao said angrily.

"I am indeed a powerful expert at the Innate Realm, but it is because the rules of your Tianyuan Continent restrict my strength."

"Only those who reach the Innate Realm in strength can gain freedom on this land."

“Moreover, I still have about eight hundred years left to live. After I break through to the late stage of the Innate Realm, I will have another thousand years to live. Do you think you can fight me?” Xu Yao said coldly.

"So that's how it is, no wonder," Nangong Ao murmured, suddenly remembering that such a rule did indeed exist on the Tianyuan Continent.

"Nangong Ao, all of this is thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this!" Nangong Ao said bitterly.

Xu Yao didn't speak, but slowly raised the sword in his hand, preparing to deliver the final fatal blow to Nangong Ao.

"Since you want to kill me, then I'll take you down with me," Nangong Ao said coldly.

"Not good..." Xu Yao sensed something was wrong and quickly dodged to the side.

But it was too late; he now had a hole in his shoulder.

Blood gushed out, and Xu Yao swayed. He clutched his shoulder and staggered back a few steps.

He then took out a pill and swallowed it, and his injuries began to heal rapidly.

"This is a healing pill that I spent three months refining, and it's very effective," Xu Yao said proudly.

"Haha! You are no match for me now."

"Let me tell you, I had already broken through to the mid-stage of the Innate Realm before I came here. Do you think you can still defeat me?"

Xu Yao laughed wildly, a mad look flashing in his eyes. He ripped off his jacket, revealing his muscular chest.

"Your physical strength is very strong, I admit you are indeed a genius, but in front of me you will always be so insignificant."

After saying that, Xu Yao struck Nangong Ao's head with a palm, his palm containing ninety percent of his strength.

Nangong Ao tried to resist, but found that he couldn't move his body at all.

His eyes were deep; he knew he had to do something.

"Don't even think about it!" Nangong Ao said coldly, using the last bit of his inner strength to strike Xu Yao.

With a bang, the two exchanged blows, and Nangong Ao's body was sent flying.

"Pfft!" Nangong Ao opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"As expected of a mid-stage Innate Realm expert, it's impossible to defeat someone with only an early-stage Innate Realm cultivation level," Nangong Ao sighed inwardly.

Xu Yao hadn't expected Nangong Ao's body to be so resilient; his full-force attack had only caused Nangong Ao some superficial injuries.

No, I must finish this quickly, otherwise he will be in even more trouble once he finishes recuperating.

Xu Yao leaped in front of Nangong Ao, his hands forming claws as he viciously grabbed at Nangong Ao.

Nangong Ao tried to struggle to stand up but found his body limp and he couldn't muster any strength at all.

"No matter what, I must survive," Nangong Ao murmured. He absolutely refused to die here.

He struggled to his feet while circulating his internal energy, attempting to restore his internal strength and escape the place.
