Im Not Your Usual Villain - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Is This for Real?

Translation by: Weebsread👹

Lin Feng still wanted to protest—

But Su He suddenly fixed his gaze on him, voice cold and measured. “It seems I’ve been far too polite with you.”

He continued, each word as sharp and frigid as ice: “The Tai Xuan Holy Land is not a place where someone like you can act with impunity.”

As his words fell, a crushing pressure erupted from Su He, slamming down on Lin Feng without the slightest restraint.

Bang!

Lin Feng could endure no longer. With a muffled thud, both knees crashed to the ground.

“Ah!”

His eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

When had he ever suffered such humiliation? Forced to kneel before his enemy—forced to kneel before Su He!

In that instant, Lin Feng’s hatred for Su He surged like a boundless sea, raging and endless.

...

...

He wanted nothing more than to tear Su He to pieces, scatter his soul to the winds, and ensure he never knew peace for all eternity.

But no matter how deep his resentment ran, Lin Feng was all too aware of the gulf between their strengths. He dared not utter another word of defiance.

What if Su He truly chose to kill him here and now?

Lin Feng was proud, arrogant—he had never regarded anyone as his equal. Yet, bereft of fate’s protection, he dared not gamble with his own life.

Her beloved had been humiliated.

This time, Xu Qing stood frozen, unable to utter a word in protest. She seemed almost dazed, struck dumb by the scene before her.

Only now did she finally realize: the master who had once doted on her… had truly changed.

She was no longer treated as she once had been—no longer indulged in everything she wished.

But what truly shook Xu Qing to her core was the realization that he now intended to cruelly rip out her Supreme Bone.

“Master, I…”  

Xu Qing’s voice trembled with terror.

The pain of having the Supreme Bone torn from her—that was almost secondary.

What truly mattered was that, without the Supreme Bone, she would be nothing more than an ordinary person.

Her natural talent was mediocre at best; she couldn’t even compare to the true disciples of the sect.

If not for Su He’s excessive favoritism back then—granting her the Supreme Bone—she would never have stood alongside the peerless geniuses of the Eastern Wasteland’s great martial sects.

Naive and sheltered as she was, even Xu Qing knew: in the Eastern Wasteland, without strength, one was nothing.

And if she lost the Supreme Bone, she could already imagine what fate awaited her.

“What do you mean, ‘Master, I…’?”

Su He looked at Xu Qing with utter indifference, a faint, mocking smile curling at his lips. “What, you’ve already announced your departure from the sect, and you still think you can walk away with the sect’s most precious treasure?”

“You think the world revolves around you? How naïve.”

The elders and disciples of Tai Xuan Holy Land looked on, some gloating, others cold. But seeing the look on Xu Qing’s face, even they felt a flicker of disbelief.

Did this clueless girl really think that after quitting the sect, she could just take the Supreme Bone with her?

No matter how much the Sect Master valued her, that would be impossible.

The Supreme Bone was one of Tai Xuan Holy Land’s greatest and most sacred heirlooms.

Of course, none of them realized that their former Sect Master had, in fact, made precisely that blunder—handing over the Supreme Bone, and dooming Tai Xuan Holy Land to total destruction after countless generations of legacy.

Xu Qing was utterly speechless now.

Her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Staring at the blade at her feet, terror flooded her heart.

For the first time, a sliver of regret crept in.

Before falling out with Su He, it had never once occurred to her that she might be stripped of the Supreme Bone. After all, Su He had always doted on her so much.

But now, faced with this reality, Xu Qing finally understood—turning against the sect was nowhere near as simple as she’d imagined.

Unconsciously, she looked to her beloved, hoping for his help.

But Lin Feng didn’t dare speak up either; all he could do was cast her urgent glances.

His meaning was clear: under no circumstances could she give up the Supreme Bone.

To Lin Feng, the Supreme Bone was a crucial piece in many of his future plans—he absolutely could not afford to lose it.

Xu Qing’s lips quivered, her eyes wide with shock.

She wanted to keep the Supreme Bone too, but—wasn’t he supposed to help her? What good were those looks if he wasn’t going to do anything?

For the first time, frustration welled up inside her. She realized, perhaps her beloved wasn’t as formidable as she’d always believed.

“What, still not moving?”

On the sidelines, Su He had no patience left for these two to drag things out.

Since Xu Qing hesitated to act, he simply ordered someone else to do it.

“Brother Su, wait—!”

Just then, a mighty aura swept over the hall, vast and oppressive as a tidal wave.

“Who goes there?!”

“How dare you force your way into our sect’s sacred grounds!”

“Do you take Tai Xuan Holy Land for a place with no one to defend it?!”

The elders erupted in outrage, murderous intent flaring in their eyes.

Someone had just shattered the sect’s protective grand array and barged straight into the main hall—an act of brazen defiance.

But—

When they finally saw the figure who’d appeared atop the dais, their fury was instantly smothered. One by one, they fell silent, their expressions turning to awe and respect.

Standing there was an old man in crimson robes, white-haired yet child-faced, his features radiating kindness and wisdom—a figure who exuded the air of a venerable sage.

Yet it wasn’t the man’s temperament that subdued the elders. It was his identity.

Su He spoke at last, his tone calm and unhurried. “Sect Master of the Jade Void Immortal Sect, to break into Tai Xuan Holy Land—do you truly believe we have no one here to stop you?”

He had named the intruder’s identity.

Feng Taicang, Sect Master of the Jade Void Immortal Sect.

One of the great martial holy lands of the Eastern Wasteland—its ranking just a hair below Tai Xuan Holy Land, but still a powerhouse in its own right.

And the Jade Void Sect Master himself was a Martial Lord, a supreme expert whose cultivation stood just one realm beneath Su He’s own.

Apart from Su He, there was no one else in the sect who would dare provoke this man.

“Brother Su, please forgive me. I acted out of impatience and meant no disrespect,” Feng Taicang said with an awkward chuckle, cupping his hands in a polite gesture toward Su He. “It’s just that Lin Feng here has only recently joined my Jade Void Immortal Sect. I hope, for the sake of my sect, you might let him off this once.”

For the sake of your sect?

Su He shot Feng Taicang a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

In his mind, the plot threads involving this man quickly resurfaced.

Feng Taicang was indeed Lin Feng’s backer in the early story—on multiple occasions, he’d intervened to save Lin Feng, dissolving Su He’s lethal attacks.

In the original storyline, it was only thanks to Feng Taicang’s final intervention that Lin Feng had managed to leave with Xu Qing.

To Su He, a man like this was undoubtedly an enemy.

Why should he care about saving face for someone like Feng Taicang?

But recalling the details of the plot, Su He glanced at Feng Taicang with a trace of amusement.

This so-called backer of Lin Feng’s didn’t have a pleasant fate awaiting him.

As the fated protagonist of a xuanhuan novel, Lin Feng inevitably brought disaster wherever he went. No matter which sect he joined, calamity soon followed, and in the end, only Lin Feng and his ever-expanding harem would escape alive.

In the original story, the Jade Void Immortal Sect was destroyed because of the enemies Lin Feng provoked. Feng Taicang died in the final battle, sacrificing his life to shield Lin Feng and taking the fatal blow in his place.

“Sect Master!”

Kneeling on the ground, Lin Feng’s eyes brimmed with tears of joy at the sight of his backer’s arrival.

Immediately, he found his courage. Raising his voice, he cried, “Sect Master, the Tai Xuan Holy Land Master has gone too far! He wants to rip out Qing’er’s Supreme Bone—please, stand up for your disciple and Qing’er!”

Xu Qing’s heart instantly soared with hope. She hadn’t expected her beloved to have such a powerful patron.

With this, perhaps there was still a chance to turn things around today.

As expected, Feng Taicang’s brows immediately knit together. He turned to Su He and asked, “Brother Su, is this true?”

TL Note:

- “Array": refers to formation magic or tactical formations, rooted in Chinese metaphysics, like feng shui, bagua (eight trigrams), and military strategy. These arrays are often inscribed into the land or sky using runes and qi, controlling barriers, illusions, or elemental forces.

- Soul Scattering / “Scatter His Soul to the Winds”: A poetic and spiritual threat. In Chinese cosmology, the soul is believed to persist after death, but certain techniques or fates can destroy the soul entirely, preventing reincarnation. A total spiritual annihilation, far worse than mere death.
