The Reincarnated Villain Can Break the Fourth Wall!

"Surrender."

The arena fell silent.

Then—

"WHAT!?"

"She can still fight!"

"Right! Just use another weapon!"

The disciples roared in disbelief, their faces twisted in confusion.

It made no sense.

Huo Lingxue wasn't injured. She had more weapons. She was still stronger.

Yet, she had chosen to forfeit.

Above them, Zhao Tianxuan let out a deep sigh, as if he had just escaped death himself.

He had been clenching his fists so tightly that his palms bled.

This match had been a nightmare to watch.

But he understood.

Huo Lingxue was already over a hundred years old. Late Fusion Realm or not, her talent was nothing compared to Su Xiaobai's.

Stronger now? Yes.

But ten years from now?

Who knew?

And so, Zhao Tianxuan accepted the result.

Still—

His eyes narrowed.

"What did he say to her?"

Right before her daggers shattered, Su Xiaobai had whispered something.

And in that moment—Huo Lingxue changed her mind.

Every expert above the Deity Transformation Realm had noticed it.

And yet—no one knew what it was.

As she walked past Su Xiaobai, her shoulder slammed into his, a flash of cold fury in her eyes.

Her voice was sharp, edged with something unreadable.

"Who told you?"

Su Xiaobai shrugged, the corner of his lips lifting.

"Does it matter?"

Huo Lingxue sneered.

Then, without another word—she left.

The crowd erupted.

But Su Xiaobai wasn't listening.

He was still laughing.

Many thought he had gone mad from victory, but in truth—

He was ecstatic.

Because his transformation's effects weren't limited to speed alone.

As his dragon scales receded, his hands and feet returned to normal, his eyes shifted back to crimson—

His vision returned to normal.

But during his transformed state—

He saw everything.

Not just the battlefield—but the flow of spiritual energy itself.

Every meridian.

Every dantian.

Every trace of Qi.

It was like thermal vision—but for spiritual energy.

He could see the void.

The Void Thunder Dragon—a beast that lived in the abyss of emptiness itself—had evolved to see what could not be seen.

Now, so could he.

His Flicker Steps?

He no longer had to rely on just nearby void cracks to teleport—

He could see distant ones.

Which meant—

He could move even faster.

The Void Thunder Dragon's transformation had given him more than just speed. A gift beyond comprehension—yet it made perfect sense.

Deep in his Spirit Sea, an enormous entity slumbered.

No—not slumbered. Watched.

Those eyes alone were larger than the entire Immortal Rain Valley.

And its full form?

A being so vast it could dwarf the heavens themselves.

[Meet me at my chambers after your battle...]

A cold, indifferent voice transmission echoed in his mind.

Huo Lingxue.

Su Xiaobai's face twitched.

'Oh, fuck me.'

A woman whose deepest secret had just been exposed…

And she was inviting him alone?

What could this mean?

A romantic confession?

A passionate night of dual cultivation?

...No.

She probably wanted to silence him permanently.

Killing him in front of everyone was impossible.

But behind closed doors?

Easy.

Su Xiaobai let out a long, tired sigh.

"Life is just one problem after another."

Should he ask Zhu Qing to kill her first?

…No, that's too obvious.

Instead—he'd bring Zhu Qing with him.

And when Huo Lingxue tried to kill him—

She'd be the one dying instead.

Zhu Qing wouldn't just sit back and watch him die, right?

"Heh. Two steps ahead as always."

And with that, Su Xiaobai turned to leave.

The next battle wouldn't start—not until they brought Liu Zhenhai.

The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the battlefield.

Late afternoon.

________

While the sect prepared to retrieve Liu Zhenhai from prison—

A lone shadow had already slipped inside.

Just as Su Xiaobai predicted, those desperate to see him dead would use Liu Zhenhai as a scapegoat.

A thin, pale man in ashen robes, bearing the insignia of Stormfire Peak, moved through the sect's underground dungeon. His usual task was forging weapons, but today, his duty had shifted—

To delivering a prisoner.

Bai Yujian had refused to meet Liu Zhenhai, so by tradition, a Peak Lord had to retrieve him.

Liu Chenfu volunteered.

And oddly—no one questioned it.

Any sane person would realize this was a trap.

Anyone else would have backed off.

But Liu Chenfu walked forward without hesitation.

The dungeon was a maze of darkness and silence, the air heavy with dampness and the faint scent of rusted iron. At the end of the corridor, locked within a cold prison cell, sat a golden-haired man.

Liu Zhenhai.

His eyes were hollow, dark shadows beneath them. Yet, he did not struggle, did not rage—

He meditated.

The energy around him fluctuated, spiritual power gently circulating as if awaiting judgment.

"Master?"

Hearing footsteps approach, Liu Zhenhai's eyes lit up with hope.

For a moment, he thought—perhaps the Sword Fairy herself had come.

But then—

A dark chuckle.

"Haha… It's not your master, boy."

Liu Chenfu.

Liu Zhenhai's face darkened.

He already knew what was coming.

And just as expected—

In mere moments, Liu Zhenhai had already rejected Liu Chenfu's offer.

"I have no way to prove my innocence if I take that!"

In Liu Chenfu's hand, a black pill shimmered ominously, its surface swirling with dark miasma.

Liu Zhenhai's fingers twitched, his clenched fists revealing his inner conflict.

Liu Chenfu smirked, watching the hesitation spread like poison.

"What's the use of proving innocence if you're dead?"

Liu Zhenhai frowned.

"Die?"

Then, realization struck.

"Impossible. Su Xiaobai can't kill me. He's too weak for that."

Liu Chenfu merely smiled.

And then—he told him everything.

The previous battles. The terrifying way Su Xiaobai dismantled his opponents.

The match with Huo Lingxue.

Liu Zhenhai may have reached Late Soul Fusion Realm, but even he knew—he wasn't confident against her.

And Su Xiaobai?

That bastard had fought her as an equal.

"You think he'll fight fair?" Liu Chenfu's voice was silk laced with poison.

"Disciple Liu, we share the same surname. I'm giving you a way out."

"Don't use this pill unless your life is truly in danger."

"Would you rather die, unable to fight for your innocence?"

"Or take revenge first—before death becomes inevitable?"

Liu Chenfu's words hit deep.

Liu Zhenhai stared at the pill, dark energy oozing from its surface.

If he took it—his guilt would be undeniable.

But…

If Su Xiaobai tried to kill him first, then using it wouldn't be wrong.

He just had to survive long enough for his innocence to be proven.

Right?

He exhaled.

And then—he took it.

Little did he know—this was a game rigged from the start.

Because at this very moment—the entire conversation was being listened to.

____

Inside the sect's grand chamber, several figures sat grim-faced.

Zhao Tianxuan's expression darkened.

"Liu Chenfu has crossed his limits…"

The other Peak Lords nodded.

"Hmph! Let's see how he dares betray the sect!" Xu Tianran stood up, fire burning in his gaze.

But before they could move—

A voice cut through the silence.

"No need."

Su Xiaobai, lounging like a spectator, smirked.

"Let them try what they want. Arrest him afterward."

"Huh?" Zhao Tianxuan frowned. "But it's dangerous—"

Su Xiaobai shrugged.

"Dangerous? With so many experts watching the match?"

His words silenced them.

Of course.

The fight was being observed by countless elders and peak lords.

Killing someone in plain sight? Not easy.

But Su Xiaobai didn't care about catching them now.

No—

He wanted to push Liu Zhenhai to the edge.

He wanted him to use that pill.

He had no clue what it was, but one thing was certain—it would give him an excuse to kill Liu Zhenhai.

And Su Xiaobai would not rest until Liu Zhenhai was dead.

If he let him live, he'd never have peace.

If he was exposed and investigated, he'd have no choice but to leave Yue Country.

And as for Liu Chenfu?

Once the truth was exposed, he would try to flee.

And when he did—his list of crimes would only grow.

Would the sect execute him?

Su Xiaobai wasn't sure.

But he hoped they would.
