Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 166 Crown Prince Vs Oceanic Tempest Storm Devil Clan Inheritor

While the relentless clash between Wang Jianʼs forces, Wang Chenʼs faction, and the beasts raged on, an event of paramount importance unfolded in a separate corner of the forest - a development closely tied to the Crown Princeʼs faction.

Wang Hao, accompanied by his loyal followers, had decimated countless demons in their path.

Yet, their search for a demon with opalescent skin had proven fruitless thus far. Consequently, a sense of caution enveloped Wang Hao as he guided his forces deeper into the enigmatic forest.

After a grueling half-day of trekking, they finally encountered a demon bearing the sought-after opalescent skin.

Though the demonʼs physical form bore a resemblance to that of a human, his unique complexion, devilish eyes, and formidable aura set him apart.

With a curious and somewhat mocking tone, the demon addressed the Crown Princeʼs faction, ”Ah, so you are the foolish humans who dared to assail us. Pray tell, what name do you go by?”

Maintaining an air of calm authority, Wang Hao responded, ”I am Wang Hao, the Crown Prince of the Everlasting Mystic Empire. Consider this your final warning: retreat from this forest, and you shall be spared the full brunt of my wrath.”

The demon snorted in derision, his voice laced with disdain.

”Do you truly believe you can intimidate a member of the illustrious Oceanic Tempest Storm Devil Bloodline? You are sorely mistaken!”

With unmistakable pride, the demon declared, ”I am Dylan, and I shall be the one to claim your life!”

Seizing the fleeting moment, the two opposing forces collided with fervor, unleashing a tempest of violence and fury. Their minds became consumed by a singular purpose - the annihilation of their adversaries.

Blades clashed and spells crackled in the air as the combatants engaged in a relentless dance of death. Each strike was fueled by a burning desire to overpower the opponent and emerge victoriously.

Amidst the chaotic fray, the forest echoed with fierce shouts and thunderous battle cries, each sound imbued with a primal energy that stirred the very essence of the battleground. The clash of steel against steel, accompanied by surges of elemental forces, intensified the atmosphere, igniting an inferno of unyielding determination.

Wang Hao initially engaged in a swift and decisive slaughter of the approaching demon group. With effortless grace, he dispatched his foes, leaving a trail of fallen adversaries in his wake. Yet, his thirst for victory pushed him to seek further carnage, intending to cripple the enemy ranks.

However, a figure emerged from the chaos, a wicked grin adorning his face. It was Dylan, his presence exuding a feral menace.

”You will face me!” Dylan declared, leaping towards Wang Hao with unbridled ferocity.

Remaining composed, Wang Hao drew forth his Glaive, a formidable weapon at the pinnacle of the King Realm.

The aura emanating from Dylan made him wary, prompting Wang Hao to withhold his full strength, a caution born from respect for his opponentʼs potential.

Dylan charged forward, his Tempest Fury Fist crackling with the raging power of the ocean.

With a thunderous roar, he unleashed a whirlwind of water and wind towards Wang Hao.

Sensing the impending danger, Wang Hao swiftly infused his glaive with the power of the Gold Element, preparing to counter Dylanʼs assault.

As Dylanʼs devastating punch neared, Wang Haoʼs Insight in the Laws of Gold Element guided him to execute the perfect defense.

With a swift and precise movement, he unleashed the Gilded Sunbeam Strike, channeling pure golden light into his glaive.

The concentrated beam sliced through Dylanʼs whirlwind, shattering it and continuing its path towards Dylan.

However, Dylan was quick to react.

He infused his Thundering Wave Palm with concentrated water and sound, releasing a shockwave that disrupted the trajectory of Wang Haoʼs Gilded Sunbeam Strike.

The clash between the golden light and the powerful shockwave created a deafening boom that resonated throughout the forest.

Undeterred, Wang Hao pressed on, his glaive still gleaming with the intensity of molten gold. He swiftly swung his weapon in a wide arc, unleashing the Auric Celestial Slicer.

The blade of golden energy effortlessly cut through the remnants of Dylanʼs attack, leaving behind a trail of shimmering light.

It closed in on Dylan, who attempted to counter with a Hydro Vortex Projection.

The spinning vortex of water launched towards Wang Hao, pulling him in with its force. Yet, Wang Haoʼs deep Insight in the Laws of Gold Element guided him once again.

With a single, well-timed thrust, he executed the Auric Piercer, infusing his glaive with a pale golden glow.

The ethereal power of moonlight allowed his attack to bypass Dylanʼs defense, piercing through the vortex and striking Dylan with precision.

Although Dylan staggered under the onslaught, his resilience was fueled by his devil bloodline. His body regenerated swiftly, his wounds healing with remarkable speed.

But Wang Haoʼs relentless assault and superior understanding of the Laws of Gold Element began to take its toll.

With each clash, Dylan found himself gradually losing ground, his attacks unable to match the efficiency and power of Wang Haoʼs techniques.

As the battle raged on, Wang Hao unleashed the Golden Cascade Assault, spinning his glaive overhead.

The cascading shower of golden energy rained down upon Dylan, each strike carrying the force and intensity of a crashing waterfall.

Despite Dylanʼs attempts to defend himself, the onslaught overwhelmed him, causing him to be thrown backward.

Seeing an opportunity, Wang Hao capitalized on Dylanʼs momentary vulnerability.

He swiftly executed the Shimmering Goldstar Thrust, condensing his energy into a small but intensely powerful golden star at the tip of his glaive.

With blinding speed and explosive force, the star propelled towards Dylan, striking him with devastating impact.

Although Dylanʼs devil bloodline allowed him to regenerate, the injuries inflicted by Wang Haoʼs attacks started to accumulate.

The golden light seemed to seep into Dylanʼs wounds, hindering his regeneration process. Dylanʼs subordinates, witnessing their leaderʼs struggles, fought harder to protect him, but they too found themselves outmatched by Wang Haoʼs followers.

With determination in his eyes, Wang Hao pressed his advantage, unleashing the Gleaming Goldstrike Slash.

With a powerful slash, he released a wave of shimmering golden energy that tore through Dylanʼs weakening defenses, leaving behind a trail of radiant destruction.

As Dylan lay against the tree, his body battered and his spirit injured, he struggled to regain his footing.

The forest around him was filled with the sounds of battle as Wang Haoʼs followers and Dylanʼs subordinates clashed fiercely.

Despite the odds stacked against him, Dylan refused to yield, fueled by his indomitable will.

Summoning his remaining strength, Dylan pushed himself up from the ground, his eyes filled with determination.

He knew he had to find a way to turn the tide of the battle.

With a renewed sense of focus, he gathered the energy of the surrounding atmosphere, condensing it into an Aquatic Torrent Blast.

The powerful projectile shot forward like a torrential blast, aimed directly at Wang Hao.

Wang Hao, sensing the incoming attack, swiftly activated his Glimmering Serpentʼs Fang technique. His glaive transformed into a shimmering golden fang, ready to pierce through any defense.

As the Aquatic Torrent Blast closed in, it collided with Wang Haoʼs serpent-like blade, creating a clash of elements.

Water and golden energy clashed, creating a spectacular display of shimmering mist and radiant light.

The force of the collision sent shockwaves rippling through the forest, causing trees to sway and leaves to flutter to the ground.

Yet, Wang Haoʼs mastery of the Laws of Gold Element proved superior.

His Glimmering Serpentʼs Fang sliced through the Aquatic Torrent Blast, dispersing it into misty droplets that fell harmlessly to the ground.

Dylanʼs heart sank as he realized his attack had failed to break through Wang Haoʼs defenses.

The injuries he had sustained were taking a toll, and his energy was waning. Sensing his vulnerability, Wang Hao pressed forward, his golden glaive gleaming with determination.

In a last-ditch effort, Dylan unleashed his ultimate technique.

Gathering the power of the storm, he channeled it into his Thundering Wave Palm, amplifying its strength and reach.

The force of his strike created a shockwave that echoed through the forest, shaking the very ground beneath their feet.

With lightning crackling through his veins, Dylan thrust his palm forward, releasing the Thundering Wave Palm towards Wang Hao.

But Wang Hao, with his heightened Insight and quick reflexes, anticipated the attack.

He swiftly executed the Golden Lotus Blossom, a graceful and fluid glaive technique that imbued his weapon with the essence of a golden lotus.

As Dylanʼs Thundering Wave Palm collided with Wang Haoʼs Golden Lotus Blossom, a clash of titanic proportions ensued.

The shockwaves generated by their clash reverberated through the forest, causing nearby trees to splinter and topple. The sheer force of their powers pushed both combatants backward, their feet sliding across the forest floor.

But even in this climactic clash, Wang Haoʼs superiority became evident.

The Golden Lotus Blossom burst forth, unleashing a burst of golden energy in the shape of blooming lotus petals.

The petals struck Dylan with both beauty and devastating power, overwhelming his weakened defenses.

Dylanʼs body was sent hurtling through the air, crashing into the ground with a resounding thud. Blood trickled from his wounds, staining the earth beneath him.

Though his devil bloodline granted him remarkable regenerative abilities, however, even it had its limits.

The battle between Dylan and Wang Hao soon came to an end as it was the Crown Princeʼs victory over the demons.

Dylanʼs subordinates immediately escaped after Dylan was defeated. The demons that were escaping were heading back to the heart of the forest.

Other than the King Realm warriors of Wang Haoʼs faction, it was Guan Yin who distinguished herself in this battle as she provided her Crimson Guards group with precise instructions that allowed them to slaughter a large number of demons while keeping their casualties at a minimum.

It was also due to her instructions that the Crimson Guards managed to capture the greatest number of demons alive.

Dylan and many of his subordinates had been captured. Wang Hao planned to interrogate them regarding the motive of these demons for capturing the Butterfly Spirit Raceʼs sacred dominion.
