Rebirth Of A Villainess

"Do you know what it takes to take up the position as sect leader?!"

He saw her look of unconcern on hearing what he was asking.

"The person must be someone that possesses great strength, wisdom and a good example to his followers."

"The Feng Yueming from that time, do you think that he would still be the same weakling that he was or now a sect leader that everyone looks up to?"

The demon lord was only there to hear her thoughts, he didn"t have the mind to let her have the satisfaction of killing Chen Yueming.

"You must have thought wrong! I know that he isn"t going to be the same person that her knew from our sect days, that is why I already perfected the blood flail technique!"

Hei Zhurong couldn"t help but laugh at her stupidity, going up against a sect leader that had spent years acquiring the core of magical beast and absorbing their spiritual energy to enhance those of his, he wondered how he could explain to her in such a way that would not end up crus.h.i.+ng her spirit.

"Knowing a forbidden technique or two is good to face the sect leader of a low ranking sect, but going against a sect leader whose rank is falsely determined is not a good choice to make."

"What do you mean?! Isn"t YuanLi sect higher than WuYangchen sect?!"

"I repeat, being reborn has made you more foolish, I took a look at the BaoXu sect, weren"t you the highest in your cla.s.s?"

Xu Hui didn"t want to recount her days at the BaoXu sect under the circ.u.mstances that the "fox prince" was bringing them up.

"I am not dull if that is what you are implying!"

"If you aren"t dull then why would you not find out what you know about your enemy before you attack them?!"

"I already know enough and I have enough power to crush Brother Feng! What more do I need!"

"You are very foolis.h.!.+"

"Don"t call me that! Fox Prince Rong because I would not be able to guarantee you walking out of my sect alive, even if I have to answer to your father the fox king! You will give me the respect that is due!"

"Who told you that I am really the fox king"s son?!"

"If you are not his son then how did they let you in?!"

"That is why I said you are foolis.h.!.+ You believe everything your eyes see!"

"What is it to you whether I am acting foolish or not!"

Xu Hui had already lost her patience with the demon lord, to her the man was impossible and there was no way she could make him see reason.

"Whether I am the fox prince or not, you need to be aware of something else."

"And what would that be?!"

"Your brother Feng has been gathering the cores of magical beasts and using them to increase his spiritual energy. At his current level he is higher than that of sect leader Jin, who is supposedly meant to be the chief cultivator of all the sects in the heavenly realm."

When Xu Hui heard what Hei Zhurong said, the look of absolute disbelief was clear in her eyes.

"I don"t believe you! Do you know what it takes to subdue a magical beast and steal their core? At BaoXu sect we always night hunted together with many senior disciples with us, and that was to catch a magical beast and not more than one at a time. You are telling me that those dangerous creatures were able to be captured by a sect that was lower than even the ShenJiangs.h.i.+ sect?! Hmpf!"

"You will have to die a second time to understand the meaning behind my words."

Xu Hui thought the man in front of her was a very prideful person, everything he said did not make any sense to her, to think he came all the way from the fox clan to talk nonsensical things. It was not a good time for the BaoXu sect disciple.

Although, the mirror of Yao was suppressing his aura, the demon lord wanted to see the level that Xu Hui was boasting of and to do that, he had to take them to a separate place. The magical tool wasn"t only to subdue a person"s spiritual energy, in which case it was his demon energy it was keeping under wraps. The other purpose was to create an alternate world of a kind within itself.

Demon Lord Zhurong got up from where he was and walked over to where Xu Hui sat, on the way to her, he wondered why he cared about whether she could defeat the sect leader from the WuYangChen sect or not.

"Stand up and follow me!"

When Hei Zhurong spoke to her, to was as Demon Lord Zhurong and not Fox Prince Rong.

"Why should I?"

"Do you want me to drag you or would you like to stand up by yourself?!"

Xu Hui looked at the "fox prince" as if he had gone raving mad, "How dare you tell me to go with him to a place that I don"t know! He must be crazy to think I will do as he says!"

The young miss of the YuanLi sect sat where she was, not moving an inch from where she sat, but the demon lord wasn"t in the mood to deal with her obstinacy. Grabbing onto her arms, he pulled her from her seat, almost causing her to fall on the broken pieces of the cup from earlier.

The next thing she knew, before she could utter a word to alert her servants was that they were both sucked into a swirling portal of nothingness.

"Where are we?! Where is this place?!"

Demon Lord Zhurong tucked back the mirror of yao back to where it was underneath the sleeves of his robes. The place where they were was like a wall of green water all around them, they looked like water, but they were only an illusion of it.

"This is a spatial s.p.a.ce, you can not get out, unless I release you out of it."

"Why did you bring me here!"

"If you beat me, I will release you, but if I win, you will stay here until I am done with my plans."

"What plans?!"

"You will know in due time, for now why don"t you try and see if you can defeat me?!"

"You think I cannot defeat you?! Ha!"

The alternate world since it was the one created by the mirror of yao, was able to let the demon lord use his powers as he pleased.

Xu Hui formed the blood beads using her blood and sent them straight at the demon lord. Hei Zhurong was prepared for the attack and side stepped it.

"Is that your best?"

He hadn"t even released a tiny fraction of his power and yet she was not even close to getting him to use it.

Without any warning, the demon lord aimed for her ankle using the illusion of the mirror to mask the dark aura of his demon energy. The force sliced her skin making a deep cut close her bones, almost taking that part of the limb off. Xu Hui fell down, screaming in agony.

"Now you have enough blood to give me a real fight."

Dragging her self up, the BaoXu sect disciple ran towards the demon lord, but she barely made it mid way, before he sent her flying back.

Right there, she began to cough out blood from her mouth with some trickling from her nose.

"You can"t even fight me, how do you think you will be able to come within touching distance of your brother Feng?!"

"It..not..over!"

With the new burst of energy within her and eyes flas.h.i.+ng with determination, Xu Hui ran towards the demon lord again, but he wasn"t going to let her make it as far as she did the last time. Instead he aimed for one of her hand las.h.i.+ng at it. Blood dripped on the floor of the spatial s.p.a.ce dying it to the color of red.

Abandoning the plan to get closer to him, Xu Hui fas.h.i.+oned a weapon out of her blood, shaped in the form of tiny needles and hardening them by infusing her spirit energy into it. Sending them flying towards the demon lord, who dispelled them with a single flick of his wrist.

Undeterred, she tried to manipulated the blood inside of whom she thought to be from the fox clan, but unknown to her, she was going by the little she knew of the fox clan. Not knowing that he was a demon and not of the fox bloodline.

Try as she may she couldn"t crush his heart that she was aiming for, the BaoXu sect disciple wasn"t able to reach inside the body of the demon lord. Unlike the time at the hall of the YuanLi sect, his powers were suppressed almost close to those from the mortal realm. Therefore she found it easy to get through his body defenses and injury him. Unlike the body of a cultivator that was relatively easy to manipulate because of their body wasn"t formed like those of demons, who were born from the lava that flowed from the underworld. Although their skin may look on the outside like any immortal or human, they were not the same as those two. What could penetrate the tough exterior was a magical tool that was refined from the fires of the underworld.

The demon kingdom sat on the underworld, drawing from their strength and battle prowess from its dark energy.

"Xu Hui give up, you can never reach Chen Yueming!"

"I would rather die a thousand times than let go of the hatred that I have for him!"

"Since you want to die so badly I will fulfill your request!"

The demon lord raised his hand which formed a small dark smoke that sizzled with the energy that it was infused with, sending it to Xu Hui, who looked on as though she had given up on her life.

Not expecting the demon lord to appear right in front of her to take the hit. In terms of speed she wasn"t fast, but her eyes were, which was what she used in compensating for not being able to move as fast as Fu Zian. The demon lord from what she her eyes saw, appeared to be of a different level entirely, her eyes could hardly keep up with him. She almost didn"t know when he was in front of her.

When Xu Hui saw that another chance to strike the demon lord at appeared, she latched onto his feet from where she was on the floor, sending a wave of her spirit energy into his skin. The result of it left only a scratch on the skin of the demon lord. Although, the force of it took off that part of his robes, he only came out with hardly a tear to his skin.

"Just when I had my back to you."

Sprawled on the floor in the spatial s.p.a.ce in a pool of her blood was Xu Hui, the fight had left her drained of her spiritual energy. The demon lord looked at the BaoXu sect disciple, a funny sensation went down his body when looking at the defenseless cultivator in front of him. Turning around and getting on his knees, Hei Zhurong picked Xu Hui from the floor and sent her back to the demon realm. The servants back at YuanLi sect didn"t know that the ones that sat at the hall were only a replica of the demon lord and their mistress, their real body was in a different place.
