I Really Am A Villain Chapter 1402 - Violet-Gold Dragon Emperor, Slaying Ba Xia

New Novel🪶

“Bet your life,” Xu Zimo said with a smile.

“Absurd,” Ba Xia was stunned for a moment, then sneered. “You clearly have no confidence in yourself and want to use this to scare me off. Do you think I, Ba Xia, would be afraid?”

“You don’t dare?” Xu Zimo asked in return.

“This kind of provocation is meaningless,” Ba Xia shook his head. “As for betting lives, my life is far more valuable than your worthless one.”

“So you admit you’re not sure you can win,” Xu Zimo smiled. “In that case, shut your mouth.”

Ba Xia’s face flickered between dark and pale as he glared at him.

He glanced at Shangguan Xian and found that she too was watching with curiosity.

Snorting coldly, he said, “Fine. A bet it is. As if I’d be the one to back down.”

After he spoke, Ba Xia looked at Xu Zimo and said, “Please, go ahead. I’d love to see how you make the Nine Dragons bow to heaven.”

Xu Zimo sighed and shook his head. “There are too many self-proclaimed clever people in this world.”

He stepped into the air, one step at a time, his aura unremarkable, like that of an ordinary mortal.

Standing beneath the nine dragons, he simply raised a hand and said calmly, “e forth, dragon.”

“This guy’s insane. Does he think the dragons will e just because he says so?”

Someone laughed. “Just wait and see how he dies.”

“Ba Xia is the young lord of Stone Flame City. This kid’s asking for death, serves him right.”

“Just a human brat, daring to act so arrogant in Fire God Race territory. He clearly looks down on us.”

The crowd murmured and mocked, but Xu Zimo paid them no attention.

He stretched out his hand. The others couldn’t sense anything, but Shangguan Xian’s eyes suddenly sharpened. In that instant, it felt as if the entire world had changed.

All nine dragons opened their eyes at once.

A vast dragon might surged across heaven and earth, acpanied by wave after wave of dragon roars.

This time, the movement of the nine dragons was fiercer than ever before.

“Look!” someone shouted in shock, pointing at the sky.

The golden dragon pearl encircled by the nine dragons burst forth with endless radiance.

The nine dragons circled tightly around Xu Zimo, descending in a posture of reverence and submission.

The sight left everyone dumbfounded.

Especially Ba Xia, his eyes flickered violently, and his face turned deathly pale.

“So this is the Nine Dragons Saluting Heavens…” Zhang Hengzhi muttered in awe. “They say that since this phenomenon first appeared, only the Chaos Fire Progenitor himself was ever recognized by the nine dragons. I must apologize, Young Master Xu, these old eyes failed to see your greatness.”

“He’s too low-key. Even I didn’t expect this,” Liu Huohuo agreed, nodding slightly.

“It’s not over yet,” Shangguan Xian suddenly said from the side. “This is more than just nine dragons.”

“What do you mean?”

Before anyone could ask further, a new dragon roar echoed, from within the golden dragon pearl itself.

The sound grew louder, shaking the sky.

From within the pearl, a golden dragon tore through the void and emerged.

“That’s the Violet-Gold Dragon Emperor!” someone shouted in disbelief.

“You must be joking! The Violet-Gold Dragon Emperor is supposed to be a creature of legend! How can it truly exist?”

The Violet-Gold Dragon Emperor had eight claws, and its entire body gleamed with purple-gold light.

Its scales were perfectly arranged, gleaming with divine brilliance.

Its gaze was majestic, and its body was larger than the nine other dragons bined.

Its long, winding form encircled Xu Zimo, and the massive dragon head bowed before him in submission.

“You want me to take you with me?” Xu Zimo said with a faint smile.

All the world revered dragonkind, but Xu Zimo understood that dragons were merely one branch of the Sixteen Beast Races.

Most of the dragons that roamed the world today were imposters, false dragons.

Only the Primordial Dragon bloodline truly represented one of the Sixteen Beast Races.

“This one must have sensed my Beast pendium,” Xu Zimo realized inwardly.

He said aloud, “You’re too weak. What benefit do I get from taking you?”

“Should you mand it, our lives, all nine of us, belong to you,” said the Violet-Gold Dragon Emperor solemnly.

It had cast aside all pride, wagering even its life, it clearly saw greatness in Xu Zimo.

“Well, better than nothing,” Xu Zimo said, taking the dragon pearl into his hand.

These dragons were only at the peak of the God Meridian realm, and the Violet-Gold Dragon Emperor itself was merely a Grand Emperor.

If they weren’t at least Saint Sovereign, Xu Zimo didn’t find them impressive.

He had to admit, he was starting to feel a bit conceited.

As he pocketed the dragon pearl, the dragons roared in unison before transforming into streaks of light, all merging back into the pearl.

Xu Zimo descended slowly, landing on the cliff’s edge with the dragon pearl in his hand.

“Young Master Xu, you…” Zhang Hengzhi was so stunned he didn’t even know what to say.

“What?” Xu Zimo asked, puzzled.

“You… actually subdued the divine dragons?” Liu Huohuo was the first to voice the question everyone had.

“I didn’t really want to,” Xu Zimo said with a sigh. “But they were insistent on following me. What could I do but accept?”

He looked so helpless it almost seemed pitiful.

“If you don’t want them, you could just give them to me,” Liu Huohuo said after a long pause, unable to hold back.

She thought Xu Zimo was showing off, but faced with what she’d just witnessed, she couldn’t even refute him.

“You’re called Ba Xia, right?” Xu Zimo finally turned his gaze toward him. “About our bet, what do you say now?”

“This friend,” Ba Xia said with narrowed eyes, “why not let bygones be bygones?”

“I knew you’d chicken out,” Xu Zimo said with a shake of his head. “Why don’t you just call yourself Turtle instead? It suits you better.”

At those words, Ba Xia’s face twisted in humiliation.

Anywhere else, he would have torn Xu Zimo to pieces.

But with so many watching, if he backed down now, his reputation would be destroyed forever.

“I did agree to bet my life,” Ba Xia said coldly. “But I never said I’d kill myself. My life’s right here, e and take it.”

A smug look crept onto his face. “If you can’t, don’t blame me for breaking my promise.”

“No matter,” Xu Zimo said flatly. “Your death is certain either way.”

He tossed the dragon pearl lightly into the air.

“Here’s your chance to show what you can do,” he said.

Dragon roars filled the sky. The nine divine dragons surged out, surrounding Ba Xia pletely.

Ba Xia was no weakling, though only an early Grand Emperor, he wasn’t someone mere God Meridian dragons could easily harm.

His imperial aura erupted, shaking the heavens.

Behind him, his Qiongqi manifestation materialized in full form, clashing head-on with the dragons.

“Today’s humiliation, I, Ba Xia, will remember it,” he roared. “But I won’t waste any more time with you!”

He turned to leave, hoping to end things quickly before the situation worsened.

But Xu Zimo clearly had no intention of letting him go.

The Violet-Gold Dragon Emperor shot out, blocking his path.

Xu Zimo tightened his grip on the dragon pearl, a powerful artifact in its own right.

Without even channeling its power, he hurled it like a stone.

Under his immense strength, the pearl smashed into Ba Xia with crushing force.

Though Ba Xia struggled to block it, the impact tore through his defenses, piercing straight through his body.
