Who's the Villain Here?

Chapter 27: Who's the Villain Here? Limitless?!

Su Yun and Su Hang were stunned beyond words.

An SSR skill had once again surpassed anything they had imagined, trampling everything they thought they knew about Contract Spirits!

"Cursed Technique Reversal..."

"Maximum output!"

"Cursed Technique: Blue!"

Xia Yuan's cold voice rang out. With a sweep of his hand, all five sea monster lords nearby were caught in the blue gravitational field, their screams rising without end!

The health bars above the five elite monsters drained before their eyes!

"Ahhh!"

"Boss, save me!"

"I don't want to die!"

The tables had turned!

Now the monsters were the ones begging for mercy.

Xia Yuan was like a demon king, crushing them with ease.

Su Yun said in a daze:

"How can he be this strong?"

She felt ashamed of her earlier arrogance. She had thought her A Rank Titan was nearly unbeatable at the academy, among its very best.

But compared with a truly powerful Contract Spirit, its combat strength was that of a helpless chick!

The Deep Sea King watched his subordinates die and spat. "Useless. Trash will always be trash!"

He took a deep breath and fixed Xia Yuan with a wild grin. "I have to admit, you're strong. But..."

The Deep Sea King took a fighting stance. Gill-like organs grew across his body, opening like vents and blasting out gas!

A powerful aura swept over everything around him!

It whipped up a gale like a tornado!

He roared:

"I'm stronger!"

[Deep Sea King, phase two!]

[Power Surge!]

Xia Yuan stood where he was as a storm of fists came at him, so dense it nearly swallowed him whole!

Watching from the sidelines, Su Yun, Mo Shiyu, and Su Hang could barely keep their eyes open. It felt as if countless invisible punches were hammering Xia Yuan!

The Deep Sea King's deranged laughter echoed around them:

"Hahahahaha!"

"Can you catch me?!"

"Can you even see me?"

"I'm nothing like that trash! I've dreamed of becoming a World-Class Wanted Boss since I was little!"

"Ultimate move: Saturation Barrage!"

Xia Yuan simply stood there and let him punch.

No matter how many blows the Deep Sea King threw, none could cross the infinite distance in front of Xia Yuan.

After attacking for some time, the Deep Sea King realized his blows still weren't landing.

He immediately abandoned his attack on Xia Yuan and turned on Mo Shiyu instead!

"If I'm right, your human Contract Spirit Master is your weakness!"

The Deep Sea King flashed in front of Mo Shiyu and threw a sudden punch.

A transparent barrier appeared.

The Deep Sea King's fist slammed into the Spirit Tamer Barrier!

Mo Shiyu's wide eyes snapped toward him. She showed no surprise at all, only a cold smile.

"Don't underestimate a human Contract Spirit Master, asshole!"

This Red-Name Boss was clever enough to think like a human.

So Mo Shiyu had already guessed he might try this.

She wasn't just Xia Yuan's battery.

She was a clever, beautiful battery who could protect herself!

Su Yun and Su Hang had nearly died of fright.

Only when they saw the barrier did they breathe a sigh of relief.

But wasn't creating a Spirit Tamer Barrier a technique only Contract Spirit Masters with more than ten thousand spiritual power could learn?

Usually, only genius Contract Spirit Masters who had reached university crossed that threshold!

Mo Shiyu was still in high school, yet her spiritual power was already over ten thousand?!

Now they understood.

Not only was the Contract Spirit an absurdly overpowered freak, his Contract Spirit Master was a monster too!

The Deep Sea King was furious. A mere human woman dared mock him!

He was about to smash the barrier apart.

Then a chill ran down his back.

Xia Yuan's hand had already drawn him in from behind. "Cursed Technique Reversal: Cursed Technique: Red!"

A tremendous repulsive force erupted, hurling the Deep Sea King into the barrier at the edge of the ruins and flattening him like a pancake.

Xia Yuan stepped in front of Mo Shiyu and glanced back at her. "Master, nicely done. Barrier test complete. Time to end this."

Mo Shiyu nodded. "Mm. It's time. We still have Inscription farming to do."

Both of them planted their hands on their hips and gave the Deep Sea King matching wicked grins. "Heh heh heh..."

Su Yun and Su Hang stared. Those smiles were so menacing that anyone who didn't know better would think those two were the villains!

The Deep Sea King had gone mad with rage. He howled:

"Aaah!"

"I can't take it anymore! I'm going to kill you!"

He pressed his palms together and roared:

"Ultimate move!"

"Boundless Sea!"

In an instant, torrents of seawater blasted from the vents across his body.

Water flooded the entire ruin as though it had sunk into a deep blue sea.

Fortunately, Mo Shiyu's barrier kept all the water out.

But without a fresh supply of air, they could not last long.

In the seawater, all the Deep Sea King's attributes and stats surged. His speed and strength soared!

He flashed through the water, his voice coming from every direction:

"Consider yourselves honored!"

"Humans!"

"You're the toughest opponents I've met so far. You're worthy of my third phase!"

[Deep Sea King, phase three!]

[Ruler of the Sea!]

"In the water, I'm invincible!"

"I know I can't break through your defenses. But... you humans need oxygen, don't you?"

"I even studied to become a World-Class Wanted Boss!"

"Tremble!"

"Humans!"

Su Yun and Su Hang were close to despair. This Red-Name Boss was far too strong!

He even had a third phase!

At this rate, his strength was probably approaching that of a Raid Boss!

And what did he mean, he studied?

He could use his head too? Was he planning to avoid the fight until they ran out of oxygen and died?

Su Hang asked, "What do we do?"

Su Yun sounded anxious too. "If he keeps running and refuses to fight Xia Yuan, once the oxygen inside our barrier runs out..."

That was right.

No matter how strong Xia Yuan was, he was still human.

Without oxygen, he would die too!

Mo Shiyu's expression grew serious. "Xia Yuan..."

Xia Yuan formed a Hand Seal with one hand and sighed.

"I know. No helping it. Looks like I can't conserve spiritual power anymore."

Su Yun's eyes lit up. "You still have a way?"

The Deep Sea King's voice rang out again:

"Hahahahaha!"

"How are you going to kill me when I'm this fast?"

"As long as I avoid fighting, none of you can kill me!"

Mo Shiyu rose on tiptoe and hooked her arms around Xia Yuan's arm. She called to the other two:

"Come here. Hold on to Xia Yuan."

"There's no time to explain. Just do it."

"You only need to stay in contact with Xia Yuan. Whatever happens, don't let go."

Su Yun and Su Hang had no idea why, but they did as she said.

They each grabbed one of Xia Yuan's legs.

The Deep Sea King saw the ridiculous scene and mocked them again:

"Hahaha..."

"Have you lost your minds?"

"Looking for comfort before you die?"

Xia Yuan ignored him. The corner of his mouth lifted as he slowly spoke:

"Domain Expansion..."

"Unlimited Void!"

In an instant, Unlimited Void filled the entire space!

No matter how fast the Deep Sea King was, he could not escape.

An almost infinite flood of information poured into his mind. Before he could even form a thought, his mind shut down, leaving him frozen in place!

Su Yun and Su Hang stared at the strange, dark space, utterly bewildered. They had no idea what had happened!

All they knew was that the Boss who had been darting everywhere had suddenly stopped. Trapped in some strange state, he stood motionless.
