Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! Chapter 383 Bai Xueqing Vs Dugu Lianxin: Rematch!

The Bai Clan stood ready as a wave of thousands of Demonic Cultivators surged past the position held by Bai Zihan.

Engaged in a simultaneous struggle against Demonic Beasts, the clan members were technically already occupied on one front.

Despite this, they remained composed, as they had yet to exert their true power in the fray.

Following Bai Zihan’s contribution of a Heaven-grade Cultivation Technique to the family archives, the Azure Dragon Breathing Method—an Earth-grade technique once restricted to the Bai Clan’s inner circle—was disseminated to every member.

This advancement rendered the clan, already the dominant force of the Desolate Heaven Empire, truly peerless. Within the same Cultivation realm, they found virtually no equals.

This hidden strength was a calculated secret; they had to remain vigilant not only against overt enemies but also against treachery from their own side.

By withholding their full capabilities, they ensured the Li-Zhao alliance and other potential rivals remained ignorant of their actual depth.

Thus, while they appeared busy with the Demonic Beasts, they were far from being pushed to their limits.

Furthermore, Bai Zihan was successfully intercepting the more troublesome Demonic Elders.

This allowed the Bai Clan Elders to focus their efforts on sweeping through the lesser ranks of the enemy with ease.

The number of invaders who managed to bypass Bai Zihan was significantly lower than the Demonic Cultivators had anticipated.

And for those few who did break through, they were merely walking into a slaughter.

"Show no mercy! Slay these beasts and turn your focus to the Demonic Cultivators!"

A command echoed from one of the Elders.

Even with their superior prowess, managing two fronts was taxing, making it more efficient to eliminate the threats systematically.

The moment the order was given, the Bai Clan warriors—who had seemed to be struggling—suddenly unleashed an explosion of Qi and—

Slash! Slash!

Thousands of Demonic Beasts collapsed instantly, their life force extinguished in a heartbeat.

!!!

The sudden shift stunned the Demonic Cultivators. However, having already committed to the assault, they had no choice but to press on.

They deluded themselves into thinking the Bai Clan would be drained of Qi after such a massive display of force against the beasts.

The initial collision of the two forces was as violent as a celestial storm.

"Kill them! Don't let—"

CRACK!

The shout of the lead demonic cultivator was cut short.

More specifically—

He was frozen in time.

The entire world seemed to stop.

With a simple motion of Bai Xueqing’s fingers, a wave of frigid light washed over the field.

"Glacial Heaven Seal—Absolute Frost Domain!"

The air turned lethally cold as frost bloomed across the earth like jagged crystalline flowers.

In an instant, hundreds of Demonic Cultivators found their lower bodies encased in solid, translucent blue ice.

Their movements were halted mid-stride.

Their Qi flow was forcefully suppressed.

Then—

crack... crack... CRAAACK!

As the ice expanded with violent force, several cultivators were simply torn apart, shattering into pieces.

The survivors were left paralyzed, unable to move a single muscle.

The Bai Clan’s vanguard did not miss the opportunity.

"Finish them!"

Cultivators at the Spirit Severing and Soul Formation stages charged forward, their weapons cutting through the enemy like hot blades through rotted meat.

The frozen statues of the enemy crumbled into fragments.

Severed limbs and blood mist filled the freezing air.

The Bai Clan Elders were even more terrifying; even without support, a single Elder was capable of slaughtering five Spirit Severing Realm opponents alone.

Since the majority of the Void Refinement Demonic Cultivators were tied down by Bai Zihan, there was nobody left to halt the Bai Clan’s momentum.

The Demonic Cultivators, who had arrived expecting a massacre, were instead being systematically erased before they could even form a line of defense.

Chaos consumed the battlefield.

The brief triumph of the invaders lasted only seconds before the Bai Clan crashed into them like a silent, frozen tide.

Blades shimmered.

Spiritual seals flared.

Ice blossomed everywhere.

Every member of the clan, from the Soul Formation to the Nascent Soul stage, fought with a chilling, unified precision—as if they were all cogs in a massive, lethal machine.

Even as they dealt with the remaining beasts, their formation remained impenetrable and deadly.

Then—

A surge of malevolent Qi rippled through the air.

The screech of distorted demonic power rang out.

Emerging from the demonic ranks was a woman draped in crimson, wielding a legendary Black Scythe.

Her eyes burned with a violet fire.

Her presence warped the very atmosphere.

Dugu Lianxin!

The Saintess of the Hundred Sins Hall had arrived.

The battlefield grew dim under the weight of her aura.

Her lips pulled back into a smirk.

"Bai Xueqing!"

Bai Xueqing, suspended above the frozen earth, met the Saintess's gaze with icy indifference.

Their previous encounter in the Ancient Ruins had ended in a stalemate after a brief exchange.

However, the Bai Xueqing of today was far different from that girl—and the same could be said for Dugu Lianxin.

Dugu Lianxin snarled, initiating the duel with a ferocious lunge.

Her scythe sliced through the air, emitting a scream that tore through the noise of battle.

WAAAHHH!

Vile demonic Qi erupted, manifesting as ghostly specters that clawed at the ground. Every swing of her blade seemed to carry the wails of the damned.

"Ninefold Sin Execution—Severing Wraith Slash!"

A crescent of dark purple light roared toward Bai Xueqing, carving a deep furrow into the earth long before it reached her.

Bai Xueqing didn't flinch.

With a graceful, fluid motion—

SCHING!

She drew her sword upward.

Though she used only pure swordsmanship, her blade was so saturated with Ice Qi that it felt as if she had unleashed a high-level Ice Technique.

SHHAAAA-!

Radiant cold clashed with demonic sin.

The two powers collided head-on.

BOOOOM!!!

The resulting shockwave expanded in a blinding sphere of violet and white light.

Nearby demonic cultivators were thrown backward, skipping across the ground.

Some hit the earth so hard they spat blood, their skin steaming as frost began to settle on them.

The ground beneath Dugu Lianxin’s feet shattered like glass.

She was forced back half a step.

Only half a step.

But Bai Xueqing... remained perfectly stationary.

Dugu’s eyes narrowed in shock.

"Impossible...! You—!"

Bai Xueqing moved forward, her cold aura swirling around her like a celestial cloak.

Gritting her teeth, Dugu Lianxin attacked again.

"Don't get arrogant!!"

Her scythe became a blur of lethal arcs—spinning and tearing with every intent to kill.

Her demonic power surged like a tempest.

"Hundred Sins—Chains of Eternal Damnation!"

Black chains burst from the earth, snapping and twisting like vipers to bind Bai Xueqing from all sides.

Bai Xueqing’s focus remained unshaken.

Her eyes grew sharp.

"Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword!"

FWOOOOSH!

Nine afterimages exploded from her position—nine identical versions of Bai Xueqing, each holding a frost-covered blade.

They moved like moonlight reflecting on water, dancing through the chains so swiftly that they couldn't be caught.

Dugu Lianxin’s face twisted in frustration.

"What—?!"

The chains pierced one version of Bai Xueqing—

It dissipated into light.

Her scythe cut another in half—

It too vanished.

The true Bai Xueqing glided through the chaos like a ghost.

One step.

Two steps.

Three—

She materialized directly behind Dugu Lianxin.

Her sword flashed.

SHHNK-!

Dugu Lianxin felt the bite of cold against her neck.

Pure instinct allowed her to twist away, her scythe swinging back in a frantic arc.

"DAMN YOU!"

CLAAAAANG!!

The impact of the two weapons sent both women flying in opposite directions.

Dugu Lianxin skidded back dozens of meters, her boots leaving deep ruts in the frozen soil.

Her breath came in ragged gasps. Frost began to creep up her arms, forming icy veins under her skin.

"How—how are you THIS strong...?"

Her voice shook with a mix of rage and disbelief. She had endured brutal training, forgoing rest in her obsession to surpass Bai Xueqing.

Bai Xueqing wasn't even winded.

Her breath misted calmly in the cold air.

She raised her sword once more.

"Nine Shadows Flowing Light Sword!"

SHHHK!

Her form blurred.

Then multiplied.

Nine flickering silhouettes darted out like streaks of starlight, weaving through the forest of demonic chains with ease.

Even a Spirit Severing expert would struggle to identify the real one.

Dugu Lianxin swung her scythe in a desperate, wide circle.

"Sever them all!"

BOOM!

The scythe tore through two shadows—

They dissolved into nothingness.

A frigid whisper reached her ear.

"You attacked the wrong one."

Dugu spun around—

SHING!!!

A thin line appeared on her cheek, so precise that it took a second for the blood to well up.

Then—

drip...

A single drop of blood fell.

"You—!"

Dugu Lianxin recoiled, her eyes burning with fury.

She roared, her demonic Qi shattering the ground beneath her.

"Don't think you're the only one who improved!"

Her scythe spun like a wheel of death, dark runes glowing along its edge.

"Hundred Sins—Soulflayer Reap!"

The strike tore through several shadows simultaneously, shredding them into fragments of light.

But—

Bai Xueqing was already behind her again.

SHILING!

Dugu blocked just in time.

Sparks flew.

The scythe vibrated violently from the impact—this time, Dugu was forced back three steps.

"What...? You weren't this strong before!"

Bai Xueqing pressed the advantage without saying a word.

She stepped in—

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Every strike drove Dugu further back.

Each hit was aimed perfectly at the weak points of the scythe’s defensive rotation.

Dugu Lianxin roared again, her teeth bared.

A storm of demonic Qi exploded from her body.

"Chains of Eternal Damnation—Bind Her!"

Hundreds of dark chains surged forward, twisting like hungry snakes toward Bai Xueqing.

But Bai Xueqing had already vanished.

With a light step—

She was gone.

A moment later—

She appeared above Dugu Lianxin, her blade coming down in a vertical line of blinding light.

"Icebound Severing Sword!"

In a desperate move, Dugu Lianxin raised her scythe to block.

BOOOOOOM!!!

A crater formed under her feet.

Her arms shook violently.

Her knees started to give way.

Cracks spread across the spine of her scythe as it vibrated under the pressure.

The sheer force sent her sliding back tens of meters, her boots carving trenches into the earth.

She spat out a mouthful of blood.

Looking up with blood on her lips, she finally realized she was facing an immovable wall—a peak that was beyond her reach.
