Im Not Your Usual Villain - Chapter 6

Chapter 6: The Bestowal of the Supreme Bone

Translation by: Weebsread👹

The icy blade gleamed with a chilling, silvery light.

Fang Yixin advanced on Xu Qing, each step heavy as if it crushed down upon Xu Qing’s chest.

“Junior Sister, Master has already shown you the utmost kindness. Must you persist like this? Do you truly believe all the favor he’s shown you over the years was something you deserved?”

“As a disciple of the Tai Xuan Holy Land, you’ve hoarded countless cultivation resources, yet accomplished nothing. All you do is incite envy and chase after hollow glory. And now, you even bring in some wild man from who knows where.”

“This Supreme Bone—by reason and by sentiment—was never meant to be yours!”

Around them, disciples who had long harbored resentment toward Xu Qing clenched their fists.

Every word Fang Yixin spoke struck deep, echoing their own frustrations.

In the past, out of respect for Su He’s authority, neither disciples nor elders dared to speak openly against Xu Qing.

But resentment, left to simmer, will one day boil over.

For years, Su He’s favoritism had led him to shield Xu Qing again and again in sect affairs.

...

...

Whenever pills, spirit treasures, or secret tomes were distributed among the core disciples, Xu Qing was always the first to receive them.

But Tai Xuan Holy Land was more than just Su He’s peak.

As time passed, many of the sect’s elders began to harbor grievances against Su He’s partiality.

Yet, faced with his profound cultivation, their dissatisfaction could only be swallowed in silence.

Today, however, several elders could only stroke their beards and sigh.

Murmurs rippled among them:

“If the Sect Master is willing to extract the Supreme Bone today, it means he’s finally come to his senses.”

“Exactly! The Sect Master’s cultivation is unparalleled—if he couldn’t see through a mere girl’s tricks after all these years, perhaps I’d need to find another sanctuary.”

“It’s a relief the Sect Master has finally awakened. Once this woman is gone, the sect’s atmosphere will be far more harmonious…”

Though their voices were low, the elders made no effort to hide their words from Su He or Xu Qing.

It was obvious—some words were meant to curry favor with Su He, making their loyalties clear.

Others were sharp barbs aimed at Xu Qing, meant to wound.

After enduring this woman’s presence for years, a few cutting remarks from disciples and elders seemed hardly enough.

“You…!”

Xu Qing trembled with rage.

She raised a shaking finger, ready to hurl a retort.

But the suffocating pressure radiating from Fang Yixin pressed down on her like Mount Tai itself—she couldn’t move a muscle.

Even speaking was a struggle.

They had once been fellow disciples, cultivating side by side for years, and Xu Qing had enjoyed resources that far outstripped Fang Yixin’s.

Yet as Fang Yixin said, Xu Qing had squandered her opportunities on petty rivalries and vanity, neglecting her cultivation.

As a result, her realm now lagged far behind Fang Yixin’s.

Now, if Fang Yixin wished to take her Supreme Bone, it would be effortless.

With a mere flick of her finger, it would all be over.

“Fang Yixin, you bitch!”

Unable to resist, Xu Qing could only sob and curse, snot and tears streaming down her face as she was forced to the ground, flailing and shrieking like a shrew at the village gate.

Swish!

The blade pierced flesh—a gush of searing heat spilled from deep within, splattering across the floor.

It was Xu Qing’s blood.

“Aaah! Aaah!”

In that instant, Xu Qing’s terror reached its breaking point.

Her mind shattered; she shrieked in utter panic.

“Lin Feng! Lin Feng! Save me—please, save me! Aaah!”

Lin Feng frowned slightly as he watched, the once proud woman now reduced to a sobbing, snot-nosed wretch. Whatever affection he’d once held for Xu Qing evaporated in that moment.

Su He, watching from above, nodded in satisfaction.

First, he had managed to drive a wedge between Lin Feng and Feng Taicang.

Now, he had cleaved apart Lin Feng and Xu Qing as well.

The first steps of this so-called Heaven’s Chosen One had already gone astray.

So much for fate—how much of it could possibly remain unbroken now?

Below the dais, Lin Feng looked down at the disheveled, tear-streaked woman before him, her beauty ruined, her composure shattered.

But he forced himself to keep up appearances, still playing the gentleman.

After all, he was new to the cultivation path. If he revealed the darkness in his heart before the assembled sect leaders, he might never win their support.

With this in mind, Lin Feng turned to Feng Taicang.

“Senior…”

Feng Taicang stood at a distance, his gaze sweeping across the hall. Seeing the crowd’s unanimous condemnation of Xu Qing, he had long since fallen silent.

They were, after all, a righteous sect. If they intervened in such matters, word would spread—and the scandal would be hard to erase.

Faced with Lin Feng’s plea, Feng Taicang only furrowed his brow and slowly shook his head.

He was signaling Lin Feng not to get involved.

At least this way, the boy might be spared from harm.

As for that woman… she no longer had any value. Whether she lived or died no longer mattered.

Lin Feng, destined to become one of the cultivation world’s true monsters, understood Feng Taicang’s meaning at once.

He lowered his head, pretending not to hear Xu Qing’s desperate cries.

He did not utter a single word.

Immediately, mocking laughter rippled through the crowd.

“So much for being a devoted lover. His Dao companion is having her Supreme Bone ripped out, and he just stands there watching.”

“Quite the character, isn’t he? Such composure—he really knows how to endure.”

“Let’s just hope he doesn’t bottle it up so much he explodes from the inside.”

For a so-called Heaven’s Chosen One to be humiliated like this would, under normal circumstances, become fuel for their cultivation—a bitter memory that would drive them to greater heights.

But in this case, it was simply Lin Feng’s cowardice—he didn’t even dare to speak up.

If he let this fester in his heart, it would become a thorn in his side, a seed of inner demons that could one day cripple his cultivation.

This was Su He’s third move against Lin Feng’s fate.

Amid the laughter, Feng Taicang’s expression finally shifted—he could sense something was amiss.

After a brief hesitation, Feng Taicang finally spoke.

“Su He, I’ll be taking this boy out of here.”

With a sweep of his wide sleeve, a gentle wind rose beneath his feet, ready to carry Lin Feng away.

But in the next instant, flames erupted from thin air, coiling around Lin Feng and entwining with the wind—two tongues of fire that barred his path.

“Going somewhere?”

“If you’re her lover, then see it through to the end. Running away now—do you even call yourself a man?”

Su He’s words pressed down even harder, piling humiliation onto Lin Feng.

He wasn’t finished yet. Lin Feng hadn’t reached his breaking point. Only when the shame surpassed what Lin Feng could bear would his Dao heart shatter completely.

So, he would not be allowed to leave.

Lin Feng’s jaw clenched so tightly it seemed his teeth might crack.

He lifted his head, eyes blazing with fury as he glared at Su He.

Feng Taicang, startled by the sudden turn, shouted, “Su He, must you go this far?!”

At that very moment—

A golden light blossomed in the sky.

Majestic dragon qi surged through the air.

It was the Supreme Bone—wrenched from Xu Qing’s body by Fang Yixin, now radiating its golden aura above the hall.

The dragon qi, suppressed for far too long, erupted the instant it broke free from Xu Qing’s body, letting out a thunderous roar that shook the heavens!

Two streams of blood-stained tears trickled down Xu Qing’s face.

Even now, she could not understand—how had her simple pursuit of happiness led her to such a tragic end?

Su He raised his hand, and in an instant, the Supreme Bone was seized by an overwhelming force.

Golden dragon qi coiled around his palm, shimmering with power.

Descending from the dais, Su He did not spare Xu Qing a single glance. He strode straight to Fang Yixin.

“Fang Yixin, receive the Supreme Bone!”

“Disciple thanks Master for his great grace!”

Fang Yixin knelt, her voice ringing with excitement and reverence.
