Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 828: Wang Jian Tests Out Feng Xuan’s Strength

Wang Jian, lying naked beside Yujia, felt a flicker of boredom. ’Well, that was fun while it lasted,’ he thought, a smirk playing on his lips. ’But I suppose it’s time to stir things up a bit. Feng Xuan’s probably getting antsy.’

He reached out and playfully spanked Yujia’s bare bottom, eliciting a soft moan from her. ”Stay here, my dear,” he said, his voice low and seductive. ”I have some… business to attend to. I’ll be back soon.”

Yujia nodded, her eyes filled with adoration. ”As you wish, Master,” she whispered.

Wang Jian quickly dressed, a mischievous glint in his eyes. He then vanished from Yujia’s chambers, disappearing without a trace.

In the main assembly hall of the Radiant Sun Sect, Feng Xuan stood before his assembled disciples and elders, his expression grim. Beside him stood his ancestor, Feng Tianming, the current Patriarch of the Radiant Sun Sect. The Grand Elder Lixian, Second Elder, Third Elder, and other important figures of the sect were also present.

They were discussing strategies for finding Wang Jian, poring over maps of the Eastern Cosmos, and debating the best course of action. The atmosphere was tense, filled with a sense of urgency and determination.

Suddenly, a ripple of energy disturbed the air, and a figure materialized in the center of the hall. It was Wang Jian.

The entire hall fell silent, every eye fixed on the unexpected arrival. Feng Xuan’s eyes widened in shock, his jaw dropping open. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Wang Jian was standing right there, in the heart of the Radiant Sun Sect, as if he had simply strolled in for a cup of tea.

Wang Jian smiled, his gaze settling on Feng Xuan. ”I heard you were looking for me, Lord Feng Xuan,” he said, his voice smooth and casual. ”So, here I am. What did you want to discuss?”

Feng Xuan’s face flushed with anger. He had been searching frantically for this man, and now he had simply appeared before him, as if mocking his efforts. ”You… you bastard!” Feng Xuan roared, his voice filled with rage.

Without another word, Feng Xuan unleashed his full power, channeling his spiritual energy into a devastating attack. Flames erupted around him, forming a massive fiery dragon that roared towards Wang Jian. This was his signature move, the ’Inferno Dragon’s Wrath’, a technique capable of incinerating mountains and evaporating oceans.

Wang Jian watched the approaching flames with a calm smile. ’Impressive,’ he thought, a hint of genuine appreciation in his eyes. ’Feng Xuan’s control over his flames is truly exceptional. In this era, he probably has the most powerful and intense flames, along with the greatest control over them. Being at the 6th stage of the Divine Ascension Realm, he is at the very top of this Eastern Cosmos. Only a handful can even challenge him, let alone defeat him.’

’It’s a pity though,’ Wang Jian mused, a hint of disappointment creeping in. ’For a protagonist carrying the luck and providence of the entire Eastern Cosmos, he’s rather… underwhelming. Jiang Chen at least gave me a bit of a challenge. This guy is a bit of a letdown.’

But it wasn’t just Feng Xuan who attacked. Seeing their leader engage, the elders of the Radiant Sun Sect, including the Patriarch Feng Tianming, unleashed their own powerful techniques. Only the Grand Elder Lixian stood still, a troubled expression on his face.

The Second Elder launched his ’Solar Flare Burst’, a blinding blast of pure light and heat that could melt even the strongest metals.

The Third Elder unleashed his ’Crimson Inferno Cage’, summoning a cage of swirling flames that trapped the target within, incinerating them from all sides.

The Patriarch Feng Tianming, a seasoned cultivator with centuries of experience, unleashed his most powerful technique, the ’Radiant Sun Descent’, summoning a miniature sun that crashed down towards Wang Jian, threatening to obliterate everything in its path. Each of these attacks were Divine Techniques, each one capable of shattering stars and destroying planets.

Wang Jian watched the onslaught of attacks with a calm smile. He didn’t even bother to dodge or evade. He simply raised his hands, casually deflecting each attack with a flick of his wrist.

The ’Inferno Dragon’s Wrath’ dissipated like smoke against his palm. The ’Solar Flare Burst’ was absorbed into his body, as if he was a sponge for pure energy. The ’Crimson Inferno Cage’ simply vanished as it touched him, as if it had never existed. And the ’Radiant Sun Descent’, the most powerful attack of them all, was casually swatted away with a flick of his wrist, sending it hurtling into the distance, where it exploded in a brilliant flash of light, illuminating the distant sky.

The elders and disciples of the Radiant Sun Sect watched in stunned silence, their jaws dropping in disbelief. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing. Their most powerful attacks, techniques that had been passed down through generations, were being dismissed with casual ease.

Feng Xuan himself was frozen in shock. He had poured all his power into his attack, and it had been brushed aside as if it were nothing. He couldn’t comprehend the sheer power that Wang Jian possessed.

’This… this is impossible,’ he thought, his mind reeling. ’He’s… he’s not human.’

Wang Jian smiled, his gaze sweeping over the stunned faces of the Radiant Sun Sect. ”Is that all?” he asked, his voice laced with amusement. ”I must admit, I expected a bit more of a challenge.”

He then turned his attention back to Feng Xuan, his eyes narrowing slightly. ”Now,” he said, his voice becoming more serious. ”Let’s talk about why you were looking for me.” The fight had just begun, and it was clear that Wang Jian was not planning on holding back.

Feng Xuan, his face a mask of fury, glared at Wang Jian. ”It’s because we know who you really are,” he spat, his voice laced with venom. ”You’re not just some… collector. You’re the leader of the Heavenly Jade Pavilion! The one who brought those strange galaxies to our cosmos!”

Wang Jian raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his eyes. ”Oh? So the cat’s out of the bag, is it?” he said, his voice casual. ”I wonder how that happened. There must have been a leak somewhere. ’Oh well, it’s not like it was a secret forever.’ I suppose it was bound to come out sooner or later.”

He then adopted a more serious expression, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. He then took a fighting stance. ”Well then, now that the pleasantries are out of the way,” he said, his voice laced with excitement, ”I suppose it’s time for some fun. I’ve been itching to test the power of the so-called ’Heavenly Talent’ and his esteemed sect. Don’t hold back now.”

Before Feng Xuan could respond, Wang Jian vanished, reappearing behind the Second Elder in a blur of motion. He delivered a swift chop to the back of the elder’s neck, sending him crashing to the ground, unconscious.

Feng Xuan roared, unleashing his ’Inferno Dragon’s Descent’, a more powerful version of his previous attack. This time, the fiery dragon was larger, its flames burning hotter, its roar more deafening.

Wang Jian simply sidestepped the attack, the fiery dragon narrowly missing him, scorching the air where he had just stood. He then reappeared beside Feng Tianming, the Patriarch of the Radiant Sun Sect, delivering a lightning-fast punch to his gut.

Feng Tianming coughed up blood, his face contorted in pain. He staggered back, his eyes filled with disbelief. He had barely even seen Wang Jian move.

The Third Elder, seeing his Patriarch injured, unleashed his ’Crimson Inferno Nova’, a devastating explosion of fire that engulfed the entire hall.

Wang Jian simply waved his hand, creating a swirling vortex of energy that absorbed the entire explosion, dissipating it harmlessly. ’These techniques are certainly a step up from before,’ he thought, a hint of appreciation in his eyes. ’They’re actually trying now. It’s almost… entertaining.’

The remaining elders, realizing that individual attacks were useless against Wang Jian, quickly formed a battle formation. They arranged themselves in a complex pattern, channeling their spiritual energy into a unified force.

”Radiant Sun’s Burning Array!” they chanted in unison, their voices echoing through the hall.

A massive array of swirling flames appeared around Wang Jian, trapping him within a cage of intense heat. The flames burned hotter than any ordinary fire, capable of melting even the strongest metals in moments.

Wang Jian simply stood in the center of the array, unfazed by the intense heat. ’A formation, how quaint,’ he thought, a smirk playing on his lips. ’It’s a classic, I’ll give them that. But it’s not exactly going to hold me.’

He casually waved his hand again, and the entire array shattered like glass, the flames dissipating into thin air. The elders stared in disbelief, their faces pale with shock.

Feng Xuan, seeing his sect’s most powerful formation fail so miserably, felt a surge of desperation. He unleashed his ultimate technique, the ’Solar Eruption of the Nine Heavens’, summoning nine miniature suns that rained down on Wang Jian from above.

Each sun carried the power to obliterate a planet, their combined force threatening to tear apart the very fabric of space. Wang Jian looked up at the descending suns, a flicker of genuine interest in his eyes. ’Now this is more like it,’ he thought. ’This has some real punch to it.’

He didn’t dodge or evade. Instead, he simply extended his hand, catching each sun as it reached him, as if they were mere fireflies. He then casually crushed each sun in his grip, the resulting explosions creating shockwaves that shook the entire sect’s palace.

The Grand Elder Lixian, who had been silently observing the battle, finally spoke. His voice was filled with a mixture of awe and fear. ”He… he’s too strong,” he murmured, his eyes fixed on Wang Jian. ”He’s beyond anything I’ve ever seen.” He thought about his daughter’s relationship with this man. He was certainly stronger than what he had expected.

Wang Jian turned his attention to Feng Xuan, a playful smile on his lips. ”Is that all you’ve got, Lord Feng Xuan?” he asked, his voice laced with amusement. ”I must say, I’m a little disappointed. I expected a bit more from the Heavenly Talent of the Eastern Cosmos.”

He then vanished again, reappearing behind Feng Tianming, the Patriarch, delivering a swift kick that sent him flying across the hall, crashing into a wall.

The battle continued, Wang Jian casually toying with the Radiant Sun Sect’s experts, dodging their attacks, deflecting their techniques, and delivering swift and decisive counterattacks. He moved with impossible speed, his movements blurring, making it difficult for anyone to even track him.
