The Villain: Claiming The Protagonist's Master

Upon seeing this, a Qingyun Alliance disciple turned pale as a sheet with fear, let out a scream, and fled immediately.

This escape instantly exposed the group's hiding spot completely.

"Sun Weidao, you bastard! You're going to get everyone killed!"

Seeing this, a Qingyun Alliance disciple in the Lesser Saint Realm furiously cursed after noticing Sun Weidao had fled first.

Hearing this, Sun Weidao, who had been flying away at full speed, sped up even more.

Right now, he only sought to survive. As for everyone else, he couldn't care less.

The commotion quickly drew the attention of the two giant beasts. Upon noticing a group of humans spying on them from the forest, the giant eagle and the devouring python roared in unison.

"Roar!"

"Caw!"

After exchanging a glance, the eagle and python abandoned their fight and charged together toward the Qingyun Alliance disciples.

Their speed was incomprehensibly fast, reaching the disciples almost instantly.

"Watch out!"

"Ahh!"

The remaining fifteen disciples were startled, immediately unleashing their techniques toward the two beasts in an attempt to repel them.

Unfortunately, their attacks could not stop the beasts' charge. The devouring python, in particular, used its tail in a devastating sweep, sending three peak Divine Ability Realm disciples flying hundreds of meters and crashing onto the ground. Blood spurted from their mouths as they suffered severe internal injuries.

Witnessing this, the remaining disciples were terrified.

These two beasts were far too terrifying. Just a casual attack had severely injured three of their comrades.

They realized they couldn't stop this disaster.

"Run! Get out of here!" Another disciple from the Qingyun Alliance could no longer endure the pressure, shouted loudly, and turned to flee.

He wanted to follow behind Sun Weidao and escape quickly.

But as he turned, he saw that the giant eagle had already flown behind them. At that moment, it opened its beak and swallowed Sun Weidao, who was mid-air, in one bite.

Crunch~

Crunch~ Crunch.

The eagle chewed forcefully, its snapping sounds like a death knell, sending chills down everyone's spines.

Gulp!

The remaining Qingyun Alliance disciples swallowed hard, their throats moving as their heartbeats quickened, sweat stood on end, and they felt death closing in.

After finishing Sun Weidao, the eagle turned its icy gaze toward the others.

These despicable ants dared to ambush them, and now they had to pay the price. Once again, it opened its massive beak.

Seeing this, the Qingyun Alliance disciples felt as if drums were pounding in their hearts. They collapsed in despair, pale-faced and utterly hopeless.

They knew they were doomed today.

But at this critical moment—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Liu Ruyan acted. Her slender, fair right palm struck out, transforming into a flurry of palm shadows. Each palm shadow contained countless sharp, highly poisonous silver needles, which shot toward the giant eagle with overwhelming momentum.

"Caw~"

Seeing Liu Ruyan daring to attack, the eagle screeched in rage, opening its massive beak to devour her.

"Junior Sister Ruyan, be careful!"

Bai Youchang, who cared deeply for Liu Ruyan's safety, turned pale when he saw her attacking and couldn't help but shout a warning.

But it was too late. Under everyone's gaze, most of the poisoned silver needles missed the giant eagle, but many still embedded themselves in its body.

The venom spread rapidly through the eagle, slowing its movements. Its massive beak failed to swallow Liu Ruyan and instead struck her, sending her body flying.

Hack!

Liu Ruyan coughed violently after the impact.

The blow had dislocated her internal organs.

At this moment, she felt as if her insides were being crushed in a blender, the pain was excruciating.

"Junior Sister Ruyan!"

Seeing this, Bai Youchang's expression darkened. He rushed over, picked Liu Ruyan up, and took out healing pills from his pocket, feeding them to her. He also channeled energy to help heal her injuries.

Before long, Liu Ruyan recovered.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Bai," she said with a weak smile.

"Junior Sister Ruyan, if not for you, we'd all be dead by now."

Bai Youchang shook his head and forced a smile. "We'll need your poison techniques for what's ahead."

Against such colossal creatures, only cunning methods could prevail. Facing them head-on was tantamount to seeking death.

Because the poison spread quickly within the already badly injured giant eagle, it finally couldn't hold on anymore. It began descending, crashing heavily into the forest with a loud thud.

"Caw, caw, caw."

Even after falling, the eagle didn't give up. It screeched madly, flapping its massive wings.

One wind blade after another sliced through trees and boulders, shooting toward the disciples.

"Ahhh!"

In a series of miserable screams, four Qingyun Alliance disciples were killed by the wind blades.

The eagle, too, eventually ran out of strength and collapsed completely.

Seeing this, the remaining Qingyun Alliance disciples breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the giant eagle had been terrifying, it was finally dead.

Now, they only needed to deal with the devouring python, and this trip to the Ancient Secret Realm would have been worthwhile.

———

In the distance, Su Chen watched the battle with great interest.

When he saw Liu Ruyan's moves, his eyebrows lifted slightly. He hadn't expected her to be so skilled with hidden weapons.

"Heh, this woman is pretty ruthless. This Young Master really needs a girl like her!"

Looking at Liu Ruyan, Su Chen's eyes gleamed with excitement, and his scarlet tongue licked his lips.

He had already decided to keep Liu Ruyan, train her thoroughly, and use her against the Qingyun Alliance later.

As for the others, he planned to kill them outright.

The battle between the Qingyun Alliance disciples and the devouring python continued.

The python's massive body was incredibly durable, and, most importantly, it was immune to poison.

When Liu Ruyan launched her Rain of Blossoms technique again, countless poisoned silver needles pierced the python, yet it continued to move energetically without even slowing down.

The python's enormous body resembled a tank, smashing through everything with unstoppable momentum.

"Junior Sister Ruyan, what do we do? This beast is terrifying! It's immune to poison!" Bai Youchang's face was full of panic as he shouted.

The other Qingyun Alliance members were equally terrified, some even calculating their chances of escape.
