The Villain Pleads With the Heroine To Kill Him

Chapter 37: The protagonist’s reputation plummets

The next day, Xiao Yichen and the other righteous cultivators looked at the 160 corpses lying on the ground with ugly expressions.

Last night, the sudden sneak attack of the 61 demonic cultivators caused them to suffer heavy losses. Out of the 400 people, only 200 were left.

Six Golden Core Realm cultivators died, and 154 Core Formation Realm cultivators died. On the other hand, the demons only lost three Golden Core Realm cultivators.

Three Golden Core Realm cultivators in exchange for 160 righteous cultivators was a great humiliation for the righteous path.

Previously, everyone was excited that Ye Qingcheng had destroyed a branch of the demonic sect. They didnt expect that on the ancient battlefield, their righteous cultivators would be beaten so miserably.

However, just as Xiao Yichen and the others were looking at the dead righteous cultivators in silence, laughter suddenly sounded.

Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? All of you are so dejected.

Hearing this laughter, everyone looked up and saw a figure appear in the sky. Seeing this person, many righteous cultivators eyes were instantly filled with killing intent.

It was none other than Ji Lie, the hall master of a demonic sect branch.

He was the one who brought people to sneak attack them and killed so many righteous cultivators.

Seeing Ji Lie come out, Xiao Yichen instantly took out his long spear. A blue flame instantly covered his body, forming a protective layer.

Ji Lie, today you must die. As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yichen instantly rushed out and charged toward him, and the two of them engaged in a fierce battle.

As soon as the two of them made their move, the other demon experts also quickly rushed out.

The righteous cultivators and the demonic cultivators directly fought head-on.

After dozens of moves, Xiao Yichen realized that even with his late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivation and the blue flame, he still couldnt defeat Ji Lie, so he directly used the power of his bloodline.

Originally, he had planned to use this trump card to challenge Qin Lu, but now he had no choice but to use it in advance.

Sensing that Xiao Yichen had used the power of his bloodline, Ji Lies expression turned solemn. He didnt dare to hold back anymore and directly released his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation.

The two of them directly launched a higher-level battle.

However, after a while, Xiao Yichen realized that even when he used the power of his bloodline, he still couldnt defeat Ji Lie, which made him infuriated and panicked. The same could be said with the other righteous cultivators.

Although the number of experts on the demonic side was about the same as theirs, they had several more experts at the late Golden Core stage.

Overall, the demons have more of an advantage.

It might not have been a big deal in the beginning, but as time went on, the Righteous cultivators would be the ones to suffer. There were originally 240 people, but after this battle, another 50 Core Formation cultivators and 10 Golden Core cultivators died.

On the demons side, ten Core Formation cultivators died, and only two Golden Core Formation cultivators died.

After the battle, demonic sect experts retreated again!

Originally, there were more than 400 people on the righteous side, but now there are only about 100 left.

If it werent for the fact that Ji Lie didnt retreat, who knows how many people would have died?

After fighting with the demonic sect twice, Xiao Yichens side suffered heavy losses. He no longer dared to bring people to confront Ji Lie directly.

Seeing that Ji Lie had retreated with those demonic experts, Xiao Yichen led the remaining hundred or so righteous cultivators in a certain direction. Now, they couldnt fight Ji Lie head-on. They could only find Ye Qingcheng and hold hands with her.

He believed that with him and Ye Qingcheng working together, they would definitely be able to kill Ji Lie, the Hall Master of a Demonic Sect branch.

Among those demonic sect powerhouses other than Ji Lie, the strongest was Ji Qing. As long as they worked together to kill Ji Lie, the others would not be a threat.

As for Ye Qingcheng, she led more than 200 righteous cultivators. After the last battle, she also became more and more cautious. Therefore, Ji Lie didnt find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, so he turned his attention toward Xiao Yichen.

After two days of trekking, Xiao Yichens people finally met up with Ye Qingchengs people. In fact, during this period of time, Ye Qingcheng knew that Xiao Yichen had gathered the righteous cultivators.

Ye Qingcheng didnt want to see Xiao Yichen because of Qin Lu. She was afraid that Xiao Yichen and Qin Lu would fight again.

However, what she didnt expect was that Xiao Yichen would bring people to look for her instead of her.

Didnt they say that Xiao Yichen had gathered 400 righteous cultivators? Why were there only so few people?

Senior Brother Yichen, long time no see.

Junior Sister Qingcheng, long time no see.

Senior Brother, where do you plan to go?

I plan to take everyone and join forces with you to fight against the demonic sect.

Join forces with us? Senior Brother Yichen, I heard that you gathered a lot of cultivators. Why are there only more than 100 people?

Ah, its a long story. We were attacked by Ji Lie, and the rest died in battle!

Ah, died in battle? Ye Qingcheng was very shocked. It seemed that the battle Senior Brother Yichen faced was even more tragic.

How could Xiao Yichen, who cared about his face, explain it? So he did not say anything further about the battle.

Ah, its a long story!

Eh, Junior Sister Qingcheng, what is this little thing on your shoulder? Is it a spirit beast?

Not wanting to continue this topic, Xiao Yichen directly changed this embarrassing topic and focused on the cute little purple beast lying on Ye Qingchengs shoulder.

At the same time, he also wanted to reach out and touch Xiao Gu.

Xiao Gu on Xiao Yichens shoulder instantly stood up and stared at the other Xiao Yichen fiercely. Who are you? Dont touch my mother.
