Im Not Your Usual Villain - Chapter 7

Chapter 7 – Lin Feng’s Trump Card

Translation by: Weebsread👹

Fang Yixin was overcome with emotion. She knelt upon the ground, her face radiant with devotion as she reverently cradled the Supreme Bone in both hands.

Golden light swirled around her, coiling through the air and emanating an aura of boundless power.

All around, the disciples watched her with envy in their eyes.

Yet there was no trace of jealousy or resentment among them.

After all, Fang Yixin was the Senior Sister of the Tai Xuan Holy Land—her strength and accomplishments fully worthy of claiming the Supreme Bone.

In contrast—

When Xu Qing had received the Supreme Bone, she had simply taken it and left.

There had not been a shred of gratitude. Instead, emboldened by Su He’s favoritism, she had only grown more complacent.

She even skipped morning cultivation the very next day.

When the elder responsible for morning practice went searching for her, he found Xu Qing lounging in her cultivation cave, resting without a care.

…

…

According to her, the Supreme Bone could cultivate on her behalf.

Even if she didn’t train proactively, it made no difference.

The cultivation elder had been so furious that his beard bristled and his eyes bulged, yet there was nothing he could do.

Later, as the gap between her cultivation and her peers widened, Xu Qing went to Su He to ask for pills.

At that time, Su He gave her whatever she wanted.

Precious pills were lavished upon Xu Qing, and with the Supreme Bone’s power, she finally managed to catch up to the average disciple.

Looking back now, giving the Supreme Bone to her was a complete waste!

Su He never doubted for a moment—if you stuck this bone into a chicken, after a few years even that chicken would become a spirit beast!

“Su He, you’ve gone too far! Do you know who sent me here today?”

Seeing that Su He had actually produced the Supreme Bone and handed it over to a disciple, Feng Taicang’s fury erupted.

“I don’t care who sent you! Feng Taicang, this is the Tai Xuan Holy Land. You have no right to throw your weight around here!”

Feng Taicang straightened his back and slowly uttered a single name.

“Heh, are you saying you’re not even afraid of Dao Tian Sect?”

The moment Su He heard it was Dao Tian Sect intervening, his brow furrowed slightly.

Dao Tian Sect was an ancient sect, far older than Tai Xuan Holy Land.

It had endured for thousands of years, its foundations unimaginably deep.

The surrounding disciples began to murmur among themselves.

“I heard the Sect Master of Dao Tian Sect, Gu Qingxuan—she’s nearly broken through to the Martial Saint realm, hasn’t she?”

“Wait, this guy actually has connections to someone like that?”

“We’re doomed. If we offend someone like her…”

In this world, cultivation realms were divided as follows: Martial Disciple, Martial Master, Martial King, Martial Lord, Martial Saint, and Martial Emperor.

Each major realm was split into ten minor levels.

Beyond that lay the shattering of the void—ascending to even higher worlds.

But resources were scarce; across the entire continent, even reaching Martial Lord was rare.

As for the invincible Martial Saints—none had appeared for centuries.

The only ones still alive were ancient monsters who had sealed their power with secret arts, lingering on for hundreds of years.

Su He was currently at the Martial Lord realm, but there remained a long road before he could break through to Martial Saint.

Gu Qingxuan, on the other hand, was said to be the most talented individual Dao Tian Sect had produced in a thousand years.

A cold smile tugged at the corner of Su He’s lips.

Having experienced the world’s twists and turns, he naturally understood what his opponents were relying on.

With a snort, Su He replied,

“So, Dao Tian Sect sent you here just to help this brat steal the Supreme Bone from my Tai Xuan Holy Land?”

“Su He, don’t you dare slander us!”

Feng Taicang shot back the moment Su He hurled his accusation.

“This Supreme Bone was promised to Lin Feng as a gift, after Xu Qing agreed to be with him.”

Hiss!

The instant those words left his mouth, every disciple of Tai Xuan Holy Land turned to glare at Xu Qing, outrage twisting their faces.

The sect’s greatest treasure, given away on a whim? Did she truly think the sect was her private property?

“What right does Xu Qing have to decide the fate of our Supreme Bone?”

“She’s shameless! Just giving it away like that?”

“Vile woman! We’ve raised a traitor in our midst!”

Su He, of course, had long since seen through Lin Feng’s motives for approaching Xu Qing.

If not for the Supreme Bone within her, Lin Feng would never have spared her a glance.

The only reason he bothered to pursue her, to play the part of a devoted partner, was to claim that bone for himself—to use it as a stepping stone on his path to power.

“The Supreme Bone was never Xu Qing’s to give away. What right did she have to dispose of it?”

“Feng Taicang, for you to utter such nonsense—have you gone mad from cultivation and fried your brain?”

Su He let out a pair of cold laughs, his tone thick with mockery.

Feng Taicang immediately tried to seize the moral high ground, lashing out at Su He:

“So this is the famed Tai Xuan Holy Land—so faithless, so shameless! Your actions are a disgrace!”

“I don’t care what connection this brat has to Dao Tian Sect. Anyone who dares covet the treasures of Tai Xuan Holy Land will pay the price!”

As he spoke, an intricate, mysterious pattern suddenly shimmered into view around Su He.

He had already linked himself to the Taixuan Sword Formation—one of their Taixuan Sword Formation, renowned for its lethal power.

“Su He, don’t go too far!” Feng Taicang barked, seeing that Su He truly meant business.

This was the other side’s home ground. If a fight broke out here, the odds were stacked against him.

“And what if I do?” Su He laughed heartily.

The full force of the Tai Xuan Holy Land’s grand array descended without restraint, crushing Feng Taicang beneath its pressure.

Pfft!

Feng Taicang coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot.

Below, Lin Feng—who had been watching anxiously—could not help but panic a little.

He lowered his head, an unmistakable look of disgust flickering across his face.

So this was the “senior” he had brought with him—utterly useless when it mattered most.

With just a few heated words, they had already come to blows—and Feng Taicang was no match for Su He.

Watching Feng Taicang’s sorry state, Su He curled his lip in open disdain.

It was clear to him now: Feng Taicang was not thinking straight.

By all rights, he had no reason to linger, yet he insisted on speaking up for Lin Feng.

Was this the so-called protagonist’s halo at work?

If only he knew what would befall the Jade Void Immortal Sect in the future...

Would he still be so eager to help Lin Feng?

But Su He had no obligation to enlighten him about what was to come. Even if the sect was doomed to destruction, that would be their own doing.

If Feng Taicang had not tried so desperately to curry favor with Dao Tian Sect, they would never have become entangled with Lin Feng at all.

And as for the sect’s eventual downfall—that would have been impossible otherwise.

Now, seeing that Su He truly meant business, Feng Taicang drew a shaky breath. His voice trembled, his bravado thin and brittle as he tried to threaten Su He:

“I’m telling you, Dao Tian Sect won’t let this go!”

“Let them come, then,” Su He replied coolly. “I’d love for Gu Qingxuan to show herself in person!”

“I’ve been wanting to see if she’s really stepped into the Quasi-Saint realm!”

Su He laughed, a knowing glint in his eyes. He remembered well: Dao Tian Sect was just a stepping stone on Lin Feng’s path of cultivation.

Later—thanks to Lin Feng’s scheming—the surrounding great powers would all come to loathe Dao Tian Sect.

Lin Feng cultivated here until he reached a certain realm—then simply patted the dust off and walked away.

He even took Sect Master Gu Qingxuan with him.

Her “Dao Body” possessed unique properties that could aid his cultivation.

Dao Tian Sect had once been a flourishing, illustrious power.

But after their sect master left, no one in Dao Tian Sect could clean up the mess Lin Feng left behind.

In the end, their many enemies seized the opportunity to attack. The major rival factions closed in from all sides, carving up Dao Tian Sect’s territory until nothing remained.
