The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

DING!

"Automatically loading the Life Pill for the Host's use!"

"Loading successful!"

"Your overall Divine Skills, spells, and Sword Dao realm have advanced by one level!"

"Your Formless Sword Body has advanced to Grand Perfection!"

...

The system's notification sounds echoed in Lin Xiao's mind.

Lin Xiao felt his Sea of Consciousness being bombarded by a plethora of profound and unmatched cultivation techniques and true comprehension of Sword Dao!

In an instant, his Lifebound Wood Attribute Divine Skills, the Shenxiao Thunder Control True Manual, the Wine God Curse, and one hundred and thirty other major and minor spells—even the formidable Great Mighty Beautiful Sword Secret taught by his Master—all soared to a new level!

What the hell, lousy system! Are you... Are you trying to defy the heavens?

This is the final showdown, for God's sake!

Amidst the roaring cheers of the crowd, Lin Xiao descended onto the fighting ring, shaken to his core.

"Go, Eldest Senior Brother!"

"Our Eldest Senior Brother is invincible!"

"Indeed, crush Ye Chen's dog head!"

Even amidst the clamor of nearly one hundred thousand spectators, the cheers of his junior sisters from Divine Phoenix Peak pierced the air, exceptionally clear and resonant.

On the high Coiling Dragon Stage, the peerlessly beautiful Fairy Hongling from Divine Phoenix Peak had even called over Elder Qi and, with an imperious wave of her hand, declared, "I'm betting one million Spirit Stones! And I'm betting on my disciple's victory!"

「Elsewhere.」

Zhu Wanning, who was being helped off the stage, gazed yearningly at the white-clad figure on the fighting ring. "Senior Brother Lin," she murmured, "just do your best. If you can't defeat Ye Chen this time, I'll make sure to kill him in the upcoming Sword Tomb trials in the Secret Realm!"

Hearing the uproarious cheers around him, Lin Xiao gradually calmed down.

Ten years of effort offstage for three minutes onstage...

Success or failure hinges on this moment!

I must pull myself together!

He took a deep breath and advanced towards Ye Chen, who wore a sneer.

"Lin Xiao, do you know?" Ye Chen began. "I, this Princely Heir, have been waiting for this day for far too long."

"You pile of useless mud! From the moment you got stuck to this Princely Heir's foot, you were destined for death!"

"You have no idea what kind of existence you're up against!"

The incomparably arrogant young man in black, radiating a murderous aura, approached him, his massive black sword slung over his shoulder!

Huh? This idiot has already reached the peak of the Dharma Appearance realm?

That old man is truly capable. Lin Xiao sneered inwardly.

At the same time, a considerable sense of reassurance settled in his heart.

Yes, the stronger Ye Chen is now... the more at ease I feel!

"What? Are you afraid?" Ye Chen taunted. "Tsk, tsk. You're usually so sharp-tongued. Has my pressure rendered you speechless? Hahaha, that's hilarious!"

Seeing Lin Xiao, the man he loathed most, standing there speechless, Ye Chen couldn't help but roar with laughter, his heart filled with extreme delight!

"Ye Chen, listen up," Lin Xiao said, his eyes frigid. "For people like you, I only have one thing to say..."

"You... are just a songstress!"

He swiped his finger, and the dream-like Cloud Dream Marsh sword materialized, whistling through the air to land steadily in his palm!

Although this pre-match trash talk was to replicate the plot, this guy opposite him was genuinely disgusting enough to warrant it!

"Let the duel begin!"

With the command from the Elder in Charge on the high platform, Ye Chen's eyes turned bloodshot. His Sword Intent condensed to its peak as he leaped into the air and, in an instant, unleashed a horizontal slash with his full power!

His slash was swift and brutal, utilizing every last bit of his True Power! It was as if he intended to obliterate his opponent with this single strike!

"Wow, Chief Ye is so strong!"

"This slash! I'd call it the most dazzling slash of this entire martial gathering!"

"Indeed! This oppressive sword pressure is several notches stronger than Chief Zhu's and Senior Sister Guo's!"

"No, no! Not only that! This slash also carries the powerful force of the Five Elements Law! It's not something a body of flesh and blood can withstand!"

"Chief Lin—is in danger!"

As Ye Chen's slash descended, the entire arena erupted! The atmosphere reached its absolute climax!

Bring it on!

This part is exactly like the original plot!

A chill ran down Lin Xiao's spine. He didn't dodge. Instead, he gripped his sword hilt with both hands, activated the defensive sword stance from the Qinglan Sword Canon, and prepared to meet the attack head-on!

That's right. According to the original plot, when Ye Chen initiated the fight by unleashing his full-powered Geng Metal Qianyuan Slash, imbued with the Law of Gold, I recklessly tried to parry it!

Naturally, the consequence was that the sharp Gengjin Sword Qi severely damaged my internal organs, causing me to vomit blood endlessly!

This also set the stage for my subsequent desperate, frenzied act of unleashing the Forbidden Treasure—the Sky Excluding Black Lotus!

Ah well, I've been acting for over a decade. It's just one last painful performance for the sake of the plot!

Lin Xiao steeled himself. He suppressed the boundless Sword Intent surging within him—like a torrential river—down to twenty or thirty percent of its strength and stepped forward to meet the attack!

CLANG!

After the earth-shattering impact of blades—

A hit!

The two figures were instantly locked in fierce combat!

Lin Xiao could even feel the terrifying Gengjin Sword Qi emanating from his opponent's black sword, transforming into an endless rain of golden sword light that shrieked towards him!

It's impossible to dodge!

In that brief instant, a myriad of emotions surged through Lin Xiao's heart!

There was excitement, exhilaration, and apprehension!

And even... a complex sense of reluctance to part with it all!

Yes, he truly hadn't expected this!

The final act of his villainous career was proceeding so smoothly!

Ye Chen's charge, the timing, and the sword technique he used were all exactly as they were in the original story!

Which meant, if everything continued to go this smoothly...
