Forced to Be a Villain: Starting With My Brain Extraction System-Chapter 150: Lian Yue’s Barter!

Zhiran saw that Tianyu was already in the realm of the middle stage of foundation.

Considering his last life, it was very fast.

And now, if he allowed him to absorb this dragon blood too, he didn’t know how strong he would become.

That wasn’t what he wanted to see.

So, without a shred of hesitation, Zhiran stepped forward, the aura around him rippling like a storm.

In an instant, he struck toward Tianyu. The force of his attack was precise, sharp, and merciless.

He was so fast that even Lian Yue was shocked. She never thought this figure would attack Tianyu, who was in the middle of receiving the inheritance shamelessly.

"Boom!"

Feeling the strong power attacking him with killing intent, Tianyu’s eyes widened, finally realizing that someone else had entered this place.

Unfortunately, he was too late and couldn’t even defend properly. Zhiran was very ruthless, as, except for his trump card, he used every ounce of his strength in this attack.

If nothing else happened, Tianyu would be severely injured for sure, even if he didn’t die.

’Kid...leave this place. You cannot defend, and there is no point anymore.’

Just as Tianyu was shocked by the attack before him, an ancient voice sounded in his mind, and his figure abruptly disappeared from the inheritance platform.

"Boom!"

Only the violent shockwave of residual energy remained, rippling through the hall and sending fragments of dust and debris flying in every direction. The floating dragon blood quivered for a moment before settling back into its suspended position, untouched.

It seemed Zhiran had destroyed the hard work done by Tianyu with just one blow. But still, he found that Tianyu was able to leave unscathed.

Feeling slightly shocked, Zhiran scanned the entire hall but found that Tianyu had really just disappeared.

’So decisive?’

This was beyond what he had guessed.

He wasn’t surprised that Tianyu wasn’t dead. Rather, he was surprised that the guy left the moment he attacked.

For a moment, Zhiran had a bad taste in his mouth.

As Zhiran carefully scanned the entire room for Tianyu, just in case, Lian Yue, on the other hand, felt somewhat afraid.

Unlike Zhiran, she did not see Tianyu leave the place. She truly believed that Zhiran had killed him.

A talented young man from her sect was killed right before her eyes. Although she had some complaints about his behavior in the hall earlier, he was still a disciple.

For a moment, she did not know what to do.

"He is not dead. He simply left this place using some strange method."

Zhiran naturally noticed her reaction and casually explained.

He then slowly climbed onto the platform Tianyu left behind and took the drop of Dragon Blood Essence into his hand.

Although he didn’t manage to do anything, he still got this Dragon’s blood essence.

"S-senior?"

Lian Yue felt slightly shocked by his casual approach toward that drop of blood and wanted to warn him. However, she saw it suddenly get sucked directly into his body without any resistance, unlike before.

Heck, it almost seemed like it was returning to its owner.

’It seems it sensed familiarity in my body.’

Zhiran did not feel too surprised.

Instead, after storing it inside his body for the time being, he finally lifted his head and looked toward the three statues in front of him.

A black dragon, a flying phoenix, and a normal human silhouette in a black robe standing between them.

Surprisingly, the human silhouette resembled the figure seated on the throne in the hall they came across earlier.

’It seems that guy already obtained one inheritance. Maybe that is why he left so decisively?’

Zhiran could tell that whatever inheritance belonged to the central platform where the human statue stood was already gone.

From the looks of it, Tianyu seemed to aim for the second inheritance.

’Welp... now the only remaining inheritance here is the Phoenix Blood. So what should I do about that?’

Zhiran finally thought as his gaze shifted toward Lian Yue, whose eyes contained hidden yearning.

In truth, if not for Zhiran’s sudden attack on Tianyu earlier, she would already have tried to seize the drop of fiery red blood floating before the phoenix statue.

Her blood already urged her to leap forward and take it as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, she did not have the guts.

Not after seeing such a terrifying attack.

"Do you want it?"

Mo Zhiran lightly asked Lian Yue.

In truth, he felt quite torn about whether to give her this opportunity.

After all, they were acquaintances at best. Yes, he gained her help with the Shrinking Steps technique, which remained useful even now. However, that favor could not compare to something as rare and ancient as Phoenix Blood.

At the same time, it was also true that this thing suited her far more than it did him. Well, if there were the corpse of a true phoenix here, his thoughts might change. But for now, it seemed better to let this girl gain this advantage.

Of course, not without some benefits.

Lian Yue heard Zhiran’s words and struggled internally for quite some time. After thinking it through, she finally gritted her teeth and spoke.

"Senior... you, you are someone from the Divine Cauldron Sect, right?"

"Hm?"

"Y-you must be, right? O-otherwise, why would you help me?"

Lian Yue was not foolish. In this secret realm exploration, only four major sects participated, and only they could produce a genius like the figure before her.

She could not imagine someone outside her sect treating her with such consideration.

From the moment this person appeared, it felt as though he already knew her. In fact, he never once revealed killing intent toward her.

Well, his sudden attack on Tianyu earlier felt strange, but considering how easily he absorbed that blood essence, it seemed that blood belonged to him in the first place.

Lian Yue knew her reasoning contained many flaws. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Still, at its core, she did not want to miss this opportunity.

"Senior, if my guess is correct, and you truly are from my sect, then you should give this blood to me even more."

She spoke with a rare sense of anxiety, surprising Zhiran slightly.

"I cannot say why this is so, but it is closely tied with the survival of our sect."

Lian Yue tried to be as persuasive as possible.
