Transmigrating as a Crazy Villainess, She Becomes Invincible by Slacking Off - Chapter 37

Ruan Dongling’s vision blurred as a dark figure darted away into the distance.

“What?!” Ruan Dongling stared in disbelief at her empty palm, inwardly cursing herself for being too poor to wait until dawn. What was I even doing wandering around these desolate mountains at this hour?!

Wouldn’t it have been better to just go back and check later?!

Clutching Crimson Cloud, she immediately gave chase.

The aura was unmistakable—a Demonic Cultivator!

She had been cautious and vigilant throughout her journey, yet this cultivator had managed to slip past her defenses unnoticed.

How could Ruan Dongling possibly tolerate having the Demon Sealing Stone stolen right under her nose?

If she lost it, her entire mission would be ruined!

All her hard work over the past few days would be for nothing!

She’d have no way to explain herself to the Sect upon her return!

“How convenient! With so many demon beasts here, I’ll have more than enough materials to refine a Demon Gathering Pill!”

The Demonic Cultivator’s voice rumbled like muffled thunder from within an earthenware jar, deep and resonant.

Noticing Ruan Dongling’s relentless pursuit, he actually deigned to speak.

He toyed with the Demon Sealing Stone in his hand, his gaze fixed on Ruan Dongling. The malicious glint in his eyes sent a shiver down her spine.

“Little girl! I’m in a good mood today and don’t want to bother with you. You’d best leave now!”

“Otherwise, don’t blame this master for showing no mercy!”

As Ruan Dongling pursued him, she realized the Demonic Cultivator’s cultivation had reached the Spirit Gathering stage, equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage, making him slightly stronger than her.

“I am a disciple of the Heaven Origin Sect! Return the stone immediately!” Ruan Dongling demanded, Crimson Cloud in hand, pressing her pursuit relentlessly.

“Heaven Origin Sect?” The Demonic Cultivator’s voice was filled with doubt. He abruptly halted his escape, turning to face Ruan Dongling.

“This master had no intention of harming you, but since you’re a disciple of the Heaven Origin Sect, then die!”

A black, mist-shrouded Yin Soul Banner materialized in his hand, its surface adorned with a skull.

As the banner appeared, a chilling wind swept through the air, accompanied by the mournful wails of ghosts and the howls of wolves.

The Yin Banner’s oppressive aura sent a chill down Ruan Dongling’s spine.

Without another word, the Demonic Cultivator charged toward her, Yin Banner in hand.

The baleful aura radiating from the banner extended nearly three meters with each swing!

Having never faced combat before, Ruan Dongling was inwardly terrified facing this Demon Lord.

But with the mission item in his possession, she had no choice but to steel her nerves and confront him.

With the Crimson Cloud Sword in hand, Ruan Dongling channeled her spiritual power into it. The sword’s crimson blade glowed intensely, extending nearly three meters into the air to clash with the baleful aura emanating from the Yin Banner.

Where the crimson light of the Crimson Cloud Sword met the baleful aura, it was like bl00d meeting a red-hot branding iron—the aura rapidly dissolved.

The Demonic Cultivator’s face paled in shock. “Samadhi True Fire!” he cried out. “Who are you?!”

Despite being immediately at a disadvantage, the Demonic Cultivator, clearly experienced in battle, remained calm and composed.

Demonic Cultivators who dared to roam the Human Realm, wreaking havoc, were invariably Demon Lords steeped in wickedness, their hands stained with countless murders.

The Yin Soul Banner’s formidable power suggested it had devoured nearly a thousand living souls. The number of innocent Mortals who had perished at this Demon Lord’s hands must be beyond counting.

Ruan Dongling steeled her resolve. Killing this Demon Lord will rid the world of evil, uphold justice, and earn me great merit! May all the gods and immortals grant me their aid!

Though her mind raced with chaotic thoughts, Ruan Dongling’s face remained solemn as she engaged the Demon Lord in battle.

While she lacked formal combat techniques, her cultivation remained formidable. Supported by her vast spiritual power,

Even more crucial was the Crimson Cloud Sword in her hand, which seemed to correct her attack posture at critical moments!

The Demonic Cultivator grew increasingly alarmed with each exchange.

He had been observing Ruan Dongling for some time.

As a Demonic Cultivator, he had naturally heard about the Heaven Origin Sect disciples being sent on numerous missions.

Based on his years of experience in the martial world, he immediately recognized Ruan Dongling as a naive newcomer with no practical experience.

He had easily deceived her senses with a simple concealment technique.

Moreover, he discovered that this young woman had already captured a significant number of small demon beasts.

Desperate for demon beast flesh and bl00d to refine Medicinal Pills, robbing this girl would be equivalent to half a year’s hard work!

That was why he had taken the risk of stealing Ruan Dongling’s Demon Sealing Stone.

His cultivation level was roughly equal to hers, but he had already reached the late Spirit Gathering stage within the Demonic Cultivator system.

Yet Ruan Dongling, a mere early Foundation Establishment stage Cultivator, was holding her own against him!

This baffled him. How could this girl, with no combat experience whatsoever, possibly achieve this?

Ding~! Host has successfully slacked off! Reward: Low-Rank Heaven Grade Cultivation Manual, Void Cicada Sword Art, initial comprehension level 100%!

By this point, Ruan Dongling was just going through the motions, being dragged along by the Crimson Cloud Sword. Deep down, she had already given up.

I can’t win. There’s no way I can win. Maybe I should just give up…

Then the System notification arrived!

Countless sword techniques flashed through Ruan Dongling’s mind. Without realizing it, she had suddenly mastered swordplay, as if she had practiced it countless times, wielding the blade as naturally as an extension of her own arm!

“Demon Lord! Prepare to die!” Ruan Dongling’s aura shifted dramatically. Her previously chaotic swordplay transformed into a relentless, razor-sharp assault!

Combined with the agility of Gale Step, Ruan Dongling began to believe that this Demonic Cultivator wasn’t invincible after all.

“Damn it! You little wolf in sheep’s clothing! I’ll spare you for today!”

Sensing the tide turning, the Demonic Cultivator tried to flee, but Ruan Dongling had no intention of letting him escape so easily.

Her stone was still in his possession. She had stubbornly held on even when barely surviving earlier, and now that she had the upper hand, there was no reason to back down!

“Demon Lord! Return my stone, and I’ll let you leave. Otherwise, today will be your last!”

Ruan Dongling’s sword technique grew increasingly ferocious. The crimson sword light emanating from the Crimson Cloud Sword blazed brighter, its destructive power intensifying with each strike.

The Demonic Cultivator, unwilling to relinquish the demon beast he had captured, hesitated to hand over the stone.

Growing desperate, Ruan Dongling unleashed the final and most lethal move of the Void Cicada Sword Art:

“Cicada Wing’s Soaring Blade!”

The Demonic Cultivator’s pupils constricted as he tried to dodge, only to find himself unable to evade the strike. With no other choice, he braced himself and swung the Yin Soul Banner to meet the attack head-on.

A deafening boom erupted, followed by a sharp crack.

After the Samadhi True Fire on the Crimson Cloud Sword had devoured countless Yin Soul baleful auras, the Yin Soul Banner shattered into two pieces under the blade’s force.

The crimson sword light continued its relentless trajectory, hurtling toward the Demonic Cultivator’s face.

Panic seized the Demonic Cultivator. He frantically channeled his Innate Demonic Qi to form a protective barrier, desperately trying to withstand the strike.

But the Samadhi True Fire on the Crimson Cloud Sword was the natural nemesis of Yin Soul baleful auras. The demonic energy proved utterly ineffective against the crimson sword light.

The blade effortlessly tore through the Demonic Cultivator’s protective barrier and struck him directly.
