Villain Cultivator (Web Novel)

Chapter 233 – Fighting Stronger Opponent Like a Protagonist

Zhang Junyi grinned and wiped his drool, admiring the stunning physique of Cao Mao.

However, his smiling face distorted when he discovered the anomaly within Cao Mao's body.

Cao Mao's cultivation base had increased from the early stage of essence gathering realm to the middle stage, and the essence water within his dantian was comparable to an early-stage foundation establishment realm experts.

Moreover, Zhang Junyi could sense the power of an advanced element, the gold element!

"You... How did you get stronger? My power is supposed to degrade your abilities by several tiers!"

Cao Mao ignored Zhang Junyi as he was too absorbed in feeling his internal energy, enhanced by the gold element Qi from the pellet.

From the start, it was impossible to master an advanced element or condense an advanced element core in his dantian since Cao Mao didn't have the lower-tier version of the gold element - the metal element. Moreover, it required an entire essence sea to support the gold element core, which Cao Mao also couldn't achieve.

Therefore, Cao Mao had taken a shortcut. He had used the gold element Qi to merge with his blood cells, muscle fibers, and bones, refining them like how he had applied the body strengthening technique to his body.

At first, the gold element Qi had gone berserk and had almost destroyed his body. His orc king bloodline had also resonated with the element Qi and had done the same.

However, Zhang Junyi's ability had weakened the gold element Qi within Cao Mao's body. The Qi had become mild and calm, thus his bloodline had also stopped going out of control, reverting into tranquil blood cells.

Cao Mao had seized this opportunity to tamper the accursed orc king bloodline and his current constitution. He mixed the weakened gold Qi and his degraded orc king blood together.

The result was astonishing. His bone marrow became one with the gold Qi. All new blood, which had been produced by the upgraded bone marrow, now contained mild gold element.

Under the effect of the regression spell of Zhang Junyi, Cao Mao had evolved and gotten stronger. Once the debuff effect was over, the weakened bloodline and undigested gold Qi should resurface, and Cao Mao would get stronger again!

Without realizing it, Zhang Junyi had indirectly helped Cao Mao integrate with the gold element pallet and his frenzy bloodline.

<Your Golden Orc King Bloodline has attempted to remove the curse.>

<The Orc King's Curse has released a warchief beacon.>

<All orcs within the radius of 1,000 kilometers will be able to see it!>

<Your Orc King's Curse has been removed.>

'Ha!'

Although Cao Mao didn't understand what the curse would do to him, he was glad that it had been finally removed.

After Cao Mao had warmed up his new physique, he smirked at Zhang Junyi.

"I'm alive, motherfucker. Killer Queen, are you alive?"

Previously, KQ had slipped out of Cao Mao's hand as the katana's handle had suddenly gotten bigger. He had let her go since he had been focused on resisting against the gold element Qi and healing his burnt skin.

Now that Cao Mao had made it through, he wondered how his heaven-grade sword was faring after being hit by the beam. He wasn't worried about her safety though as the katana might be too energetic at the moment after eating all the beam energy.

"Damn right, stupid hooman! I'm alive!"

"Okay..."

Cao Mao heaved a sigh of relief, but he frowned after a moment of realization.

Just now, Killer Queen hadn't used her telepathic voice or a voice-transmission. She had spoken normally via the voice of a young girl.

Curious, Cao Mao turned around to look.

Indeed, Killer Queen had turned into a naked young girl, who seemed to be 12 or 13 years old.

KQ's black long hair reached her feet. A part of them covered her private parts as if they were the traditional censorship of some comic books in Cao Mao's previous world. Yet, her chest and her hips had grown beyond her actual age as they were bigger than average.

Her well-proportioned face, round bright eyes, small mouth, and fair skin could compete against Mao Xueyan's doll-like figure and Ju Shoufen's sexy body in a grand loli beauty pageant. Still, she had the advantage of her S-curve body and bigger breasts.

But what shocked everyone wasn't her sexy figure. It was her immeasurable cultivation base.

Both Cao Mao and Zhang Junyi couldn't gauge her strength!

They also didn't understand what had happened!

The girl floated behind Cao Mao while she placed her hands on her hips. She glared at Zhang Junyi.

"Damn sissy! You have done it now!"

Zhang Junyi's face grimaced as he didn't know who she was and how Cao Mao's katana could transform into a human. He stopped what he had planned on doing and flew backward, keeping the distance from the young girl in caution.

As Zhang Junyi had practiced using his domain ability on several heaven-grade weapons, he knew what kind of effect the beam would usually have on the weaponry.

Transforming heaven-grade weapons into a human wasn't one of them!

KQ waved her arms around as if she started performing a hand incantation.

Zhang Junyi circulated his rainbow energy and pointed the wand at Cao Mao and Killer Queen, preparing to receive the attack.

But Killer Queen suddenly shouted and raised her hand to the sky, "Moon Prism Power, Change Up!"

FLASH

One of Cao Mao's spatial rings ejected a set of cloth automatically. Then, KQ awkwardly tried to put on the large clothes, which were designed for men with an above-average statue.

After a couple seconds of the cute moment, KQ placed her hands on her hips again, smugly smiled at Zhang Junyi.

"See? You're not the only one with the transformation ability! I can transform into a magical girl, too!"

"..."

"..."

For a whole minute, Cao Mao and Zhang Junyi had forgotten that they were in the midst of trying to kill each other. They gazed at KQ with a bright smile, being charmed by the little angel.

Killer Queen took a while to realize why the atmosphere had turned odd. She screamed in anger, "Take it seriously, you fool! Hooman, give me your right hand!"

Cao Mao extended his right hand toward KQ.

KQ grabbed his right hand. Then, she pierced it with her hand.

Gold blood splattered as Cao Mao's right hand was suddenly punctured by KQ's fingers.

Yet, KQ hadn't finished. All golden blood merged with her tender skin. Then, her entire body turned into liquid and entered Cao Mao's wound.

Cao Mao's right arm transformed. A golden gauntlet manifested and embedded itself in Cao Mao's skin.

"Err, Miss Killer Queen? What happened?"

'Eh, it's a long story. How about this? I'll transfer my memory to you and teach you how to use it and explain everything altogether! Get ready!'

"Okay?"

Cao Mao nodded. Then, he flew toward the west, fleeing from Zhang Junyi while he focused his mind.

Staying here and digesting information during the critical fight was stupid. He kept his distance, so he could buy time to process the new information.

As Cao Mao had expected, the flood of information dizzied him. His vision almost became dark.

Meanwhile, Zhang Junyi had realized that something was fishy. He chased after Cao Mao in anger.

It took Zhang Junyi only five seconds to catch up with Cao Mao. However, the precious few seconds were enough for the latter to process and assimilate everything into his.

Ding

<You have learned a new skill.>

<You have learned a new skill.>

<You have learned a new skill.>

Three new skills had been added to Cao Mao's skill list.

Cao Mao turned around and used a new skill right away. The gold gauntlet ejected something from the back of his hand, and it transformed into a miniature round toy with a tank's track, flying toward Zhang Junyi at the speed of 100km/h.

Zhang Junyi sneered at the small tank toy. He gathered his power into his wand, turning it into a giant fan and swatted it away.

The tank was knocked away, but it corrected its flight path and resumed flying back toward Zhang Junyi!

As soon as the tank got close, Zhang Junyi seized it with his left hand.

Then, Zhang Junyi sneered at Cao Mao, "Stop wasting my time. The tribulation cloud has already come for you. All you have to do is to submit to me and hand over all your treasures. Then, this elder sister will protect you from the tribulation!"

He had not given up trying to make Cao Mao surrender.

Surrounding them, the dark cloud had already manifested, and several Eyes of Heaven were observing them.

Yet, Cao Mao was still unfazed. He kept flying away without caring about the tribulation cloud and Zhang Junyi.

After all, the round tank was something that was made from Killer Queen, and it was also deadly.

A skull-like face slowly appeared on the round tank, and it spoke to him.

"Look over here!"

Zhang Junyi frowned and turned to the toy in his hand.

Click

Killer Queen's second ability, Sheer Heart Attack, had been activated.

Fire element Qi, enhanced by gold element Qi, generated an explosion that contained the power of an early-stage core pillar realm expert!

BOOM!!

The explosion instantly destroyed Zhang Junyi's left hand!

"WHAT IS THIS POWER!?"

In shock, Zhang Junyi screamed. His voice became erratic, which sounded like a man's voice mixed with a woman's voice.

"MAO MIAOMIAO!!"

In anger, Zhang Junyi became serious. He chased after Cao Mao and activated his domain once more.

This time, he unleashed a homing energy ball, which contained the plasma element, the upgraded lightning element. As long as Cao Mao was still within his domain, he wouldn't be able to dodge or escape!

Since Cao Mao had been aware that he could never dodge Zhang Junyi skills, he ignited his grenade pills and tossed them toward the oncoming energy ball, which was the size of a two-story house.

BOOM

BOOM

The plasma ball devoured the grenade pills, but several explosions made its energy fluctuate. Its effectiveness was weakening.

"HONK!"

Cao Mao followed up with the waterfowl shout. His sound attack also weakened the plasma ball a bit.

KQ transformed from a gold gauntlet to a gold katana. Cao Mao grabbed the handle and injected it with his life essence, activating a sword skill by slashing in front of him nine times.

Death Sword Fortress Style, Solution 9, Energy Cylinder!

Nine energy waves came out of KQ. Then, they changed shape and formed a defensive formation array.

BOOM

The plasma ball and the formation array collided.

The array absorbed 20% of the plasma energy and reflected the gathered energy back at the oncoming energy ball.

However, it wasn't enough to cancel out the plasma energy, but it scattered the condensed energy everywhere.

Zhang Junyi sneered. He pointed his wand at Cao Mao, directing all scattered plasma energy back to the target.

'Let's see if you survive this! Even if you can make it through, I'll detonate your lightning Qi in your dantian and turn you into a crippled orc! Then, I'll imprison you and make you my sex slave!' He thought to himself.

The scattered energy turned into a thousand lightning bolts and struck Cao Mao. Each bolt contained a tinge of plasma energy, which was stronger than his lightning resistance.

Cao Mao's brown skin blackened as if it had been fried to charcoal. His internal organs were ruptured.

Yet, his bone, muscle fibers, blood cells, and most parts of his body managed to resist the extreme temperature.

His injuries were not fatal!

Moreover, the light in Cao Mao's golden pupils didn't lose its radiance. They glared at Zhang Junyi as Cao Mao also commanded the tank toy, which was still chasing Zhang Junyi.

Even after the previous explosion, the tank toy was still intact. As long as Cao Mao's target was still alive, it would continue to pursue and kill the victim!

"LOOK OVER HERE!"
