Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 267 Anomaly - Voidblade



Wang Jian keenly sensed the overwhelming Emperor Realm power emanating from the enigmatic warrior before him. His curiosity deepened as he observed the peculiar pair of swords the emerald-haired guy wielded—one possessing the Holy Attribute, while the other brimming with intense Devil Attribute.

Intriguingly, both swords seemed to possess a potent Law Nullification Ability, rendering Wang Jian’s domain defenseless against their might. It was as if the connection between his domain and the laws had been effortlessly severed by those mysterious blades.

Faced with such an enigmatic adversary, Wang Jian couldn’t help but inquire, “Who are you?”

In response, the emerald-haired expert let out a resolute declaration that resonated through the battlefield, capturing the attention of everyone present.

“I have come to slaughter you, Wang Jian,” he proclaimed boldly, his words echoing across the battlefield and capturing the attention of all present.

Gasps and whispers rippled through the ranks of both devil forces and Empire warriors as they fixated their gaze on this masked intruder—little did they know that this mysterious expert was none other than Wang Jian in disguise.

Wang Jian’s eyes narrowed in astonishment. How did this stranger know his name? They had never crossed paths before, yet the emerald-haired expert seemed to possess knowledge of his true identity concealed behind the mask.

A tense silence blanketed the battlefield as the two powerful forces sized each other up, the intensity of their gazes mirroring their determination to emerge victorious.

Wang Jian knew that this was no ordinary encounter. There were mysteries at play, and the enigmatic swordsman held the answers he sought.

Wang Jian responded curiously, “You know my name, but I do not know yours. Enlighten me, and perhaps we can find a way to resolve this without needless bloodshed.”

The emerald-haired warrior grinned, his crimson eyes gleaming with a mixture of amusement and anticipation. “Names are of little consequence in the grand scheme of things,” he replied enigmatically. “You may call me the Voidblade—a name that holds no origin or history. As for why I have come for you, well, I am sure you ought to know by now. It’s because your evil deeds crossed the threshold and it’s time for you to pay the price for that.”

“…Evil deeds?” Wang Jian narrowed his eyes coldly.

Voidblade nodded, “That’s correct. But enough talk for now. Let’s start our battle. I need to return home after dealing with you.”

With grim determination, Wang Jian braced himself for the confrontation. In the blink of an eye, Voidblade swung both his swords, unleashing invisible streams of energy that surged toward Wang Jian, aiming to bind him in place.

An ominous feeling crept over Wang Jian as he witnessed the approaching energies. Reacting swiftly, he employed his Spatial Movement Skill, teleporting out of harm’s way. However, his shock only intensified when he saw Voidblade anticipate his move, slashing precisely at the spot Wang Jian had just teleported to. It was as if Voidblade could see into the future, predicting Wang Jian’s every move.

Wang Jian hastily raised his Tyrant Sovereign’s Blade to block the onslaught. The resulting clash sent shockwaves rippling through the battlefield.

For a few heart-pounding seconds, the two powerful forces collided, and then the unthinkable happened—the formidable Tyrant Sovereign’s Blade shattered under the assault. Thankfully, the broken blade managed to deflect the lethal sword slashes slightly, saving Wang Jian’s life.

A mix of awe and alarm filled Wang Jian’s heart.

Voidblade’s sheer power wasn’t what astonished him; rather, it was the myriad of attributes and insights infused within those sword slashes.

Holy Attribute, Devil Attribute, Peak level Laws of Sword, and high-level Insights in Spatial Laws—these were the elements that sliced through his once-proud Tyrant Sovereign’s Blade.

The shockwaves of the intense battle caused both devils and humans to suffer injuries, drawing Voidblade’s attention to the collateral damage.

A frown appeared on his face, and he spoke, “Meh. This place has too many innocent people who will die if we fight here. Do you mind moving somewhere else?”

Wang Jian was slightly taken aback by Voidblade’s unexpected request.

Fighting here would give Voidblade an advantage, as Wang Jian would have to divert his attention to protect his faction members from harm.

Yet, to Wang Jian’s surprise, Voidblade seemed unwilling to exploit the situation and instead asked to change their battleground.

Realization dawned on Wang Jian; whoever assigned this mission to Voidblade had expressly instructed him not to harm anyone else, focusing solely on Wang Jian.

Understanding the implication behind this request, Wang Jian spoke cautiously, “Alright. Where should we go?”

Voidblade met Wang Jian’s gaze and said, “I know you will be cautious, and that’s only natural. That’s why I’ll use this.” He then revealed a small, translucent blue cube.

As soon as Wang Jian laid eyes on the cube, he sensed an unreal power of the Laws of Space emanating from it. He was certain that this Spatial Azure Cubic Arena held a much higher grade of spatial laws than the Ebon Void Essence Ores.

Moreover, the cube radiated an immense qi that indicated its resistance to brute force.

The Blue Cube expanded rapidly, enveloping both Voidblade and Wang Jian, but curiously, nothing else entered it.

“This is the Spatial Azure Cubic Arena, an artifact I acquired from a ruin. It allows me to trap myself and my opponent in it, ensuring our battle doesn’t harm anyone or anything in the surroundings,” Voidblade explained. “The spatial element within this cube is transparent, blocking everything except light, so people outside can witness our fight. I imagine it was created by a civilization that sought to replicate the concept of a Colosseum—an ancient Roman battle arena—where the audience can enjoy battles between powerful warriors or warriors against beasts.”

Wang Jian was astounded by the cube’s effects, but what stunned him even more was Voidblade’s reference to the Colosseum and Roman terms.

“You are a transmigrator from Earth!” Wang Jian exclaimed, his eyes widening in realization.

Voidblade didn’t seem surprised by Wang Jian’s deduction; instead, he smiled. “That’s correct. I, too, am a transmigrator just like you. And much like you, I possess a system of my own. However, unlike your wicked system, I have a virtuous System that wants me to remove a wretched man like you from this world!”

In that crucial moment, Wang Jian’s mind finally grasped the full implications of the situation. The system had deemed him an anomaly and warned him about Voidblade precisely because this adversary also possessed a system.

The World’s Essence had utilized every bit of Ye Chen’s luck to create a mission for Voidblade—his sole purpose being to vanquish Wang Jian.

It was apparent that the World’s Essence was bound by rules when assigning a mission to target someone, even if that person was interfering with predetermined destinies. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

Hence, the World’s Essence had no choice but to select someone who was on par with Wang Jian on the basis of his cultivation realm. And judging from the fact that Voidblade had been handpicked by the World’s Essence, his combat prowess had to be nothing short of extraordinary.

“Well, thanks for the explanation. But I won’t show you any mercy, even if you’re from Earth,” Wang Jian declared with a cold tone, his eyes narrowed with resolve.

Voidblade exuded an air of confidence as he retorted, “You can’t defeat me! My system has already provided me with all the information about your skills! Your domain might have posed some threat, but with these swords, I can easily dispel it!”

“…So, you know everything about me,” Wang Jian replied coldly, his mind racing to find an edge in this formidable battle. “Then I guess you must be confident in your victory because you know I can’t use my devil powers here. If I use them and even if my own subordinates see it, the news will undoubtedly leak, marking the end of my faction—a faction I painstakingly built!”

“Correct!” Voidblade affirmed, swiftly teleporting to Wang Jian’s location, preparing to deliver a swift and deadly strike with both swords.

However, what happened next left Voidblade utterly stunned. His swords slashed through nothing but pure shadows!

In that moment, Voidblade sensed an overwhelming surge of demonic qi enveloping him, and to his astonishment, Wang Jian reappeared from the shadows a short distance away.

“You underestimated me,” Wang Jian declared, his voice filled with determination. “If my life is on the line, I won’t hesitate to cast everything aside to save myself!”

As the battle intensified within the Spatial Azure Cubic Arena, an incredible transformation swept over Wang Jian.

His once silver hair shimmered and shifted into a striking navy blue, while his serene azure blue eyes blazed with a newfound intensity, now a radiant shade of ruby red.

A torrent of intense black demonic energy surged from within him, an aura that only Voidblade could sense at that moment.

Outside the cube the devils and humans observing the battle were quick to notice the change in the color of Wang Jian’s qi, and without hesitation, they deduced that he was now emitting devil qi.

This revelation shocked even some of Wang Jian’s closest companions, including his women. However, it was Chen Yiyan and Lady Zhuoran who, with unwavering determination, rallied the group and kept them focused amidst the chaos.

Within Wang Jian’s faction, the other members were left in complete astonishment. Even Stella couldn’t believe her eyes. The revelation that Wang Jian was a demon was a revelation she had never anticipated.

Amidst the uncertainty, Han Xifeng’s voice echoed with a blend of urgency and sincerity, reaching the ears of each member of the faction.

Her plea struck a chord with them as she implored them to save their questions for later and to unite in the present moment. With conviction in her voice, she urged them to join forces and vanquish the invading devils.

Her heartfelt appeal proved effective, calming the rising doubts and fears among the faction members.

This was because most of them had been saved by Han Xifeng’s healing abilities and they felt that they should trust her unwavering belief in Wang Jian.

Moreover, they also remembered Wang Jian’s heroic actions against the Devil Emperors who had attacked them.

Those memories served as a testament to his commitment to protect his people and their world, making it clear that, at the very least, Wang Jian was not allied with the malevolent devils threatening them.

With a newfound sense of trust and unity, the members of Wang Jian’s faction rallied behind their leader and his chosen companions, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
