Manipulative Harem God

Chapter 405 Long Tian!

?Zhang Wei surged forward with unbridled speed, his mind a whirlwind of action and strategy. The system's voice intruded, jolting his focus.

[Host, how do we determine which side is righteous and which is evil?] it queried.

Zhang Wei's brow creased in mild irritation. "Why does that matter? Obviously, the one assaulting the woman is usually the villain."

[....]

Undeterred, Zhang Wei declared, "We're here to play the hero, to rescue the damsel! Good and bad are irrelevant in this scenario."

Elsewhere, Yu Tian's grin stretched sinisterly as he cornered Chu Yaoyao. His voice was deceptively calm, "I usually refrain from striking women, but for you, I'll make it swift."

"Ah!" Chu Yaoyao's eyes snapped shut in terror as Yu Tian's hand, radiating a ghostly blue light, rose to deliver the final blow.

Whoosh!

His fist, embodying the ferocity of a dragon, was accompanied by a vivid golden dragon projection, stunning everyone present.

!!!

Chen Xiaoya staggered back, her voice trembling, "T-This..." She wasn't alone in her astonishment. The entire area was bathed in a dazzling golden light, an oppressive aura enveloping everyone.

Whoosh!

The Four Claw Dragon Strike descended with a thunderous boom!

Yu Tian's fist, charged with the ferocity of a mythical dragon, lunged towards Chu Yaoyao. The air around them seemed to roar, an invisible dragon opening its gaping maw to swallow her whole. Spectators clenched their eyes shut, cold sweat trickling down their spines in fearful anticipation.

Chu Yaoyao's eyes flickered open, resigned to face her end, staring into the abyss of the dragon's mouth hurtling towards her.

Suddenly, her vision blurred, succumbing to darkness as an even more colossal shockwave reverberated through the area.

Booooom!

The ground trembled and the air rippled as the shockwave from the collision surged outwards. Everything and everyone was thrust back by the sheer force, including Yu Tian, who was sent reeling five meters away, his eyes wide with disbelief.

In the midst of swirling dust and unsettled debris, Zhang Wei emerged, a wide grin on his face. He stood confidently, his palm outstretched, effortlessly halting Yu Tian's ferocious dragon.

A golden palm shimmered momentarily in front of him, their hair fluttering from the residual force of the clash. "Golden Buddha Palm? Who in the world are you?" Yu Tian's eyes narrowed suspiciously, his voice sharp, as the dust began to settle around them.

His eyes fixed on Zhang Wei with a mix of intrigue and wariness. "Golden Buddha Palm... I've heard legends, but to see it here..." He spoke with slight envy.

Zhang Wei, unshaken and calm, smirked. "Who I am is not important. What matters is that I won't let you play the Villain, that's my role!"

In the background, Chu Yaoyao, now safe but shaken, watched the scene, her heart pounding. 'D-Did he stop that alone? Who is he? And why did he save me?'

Yu Tian's gaze hardened. "No matter who you are, you've interfered with my affairs. That's a mistake." His fist clenched, his aura flaring. "I am Yu Tian, and my Four Claw Dragon Strike is unbeatable!"

Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow, his smile tinged with irony. "Not bad for a sidekick," he remarked, provoking a visible scowl from Yu Tian.

Yet, as Yu Tian observed more closely, he noticed something unprecedented. Zhang Wei's seemingly indestructible body showed signs of damage; fine cracks webbed across the arm that had halted his formidable strike.

Yu Tian's uncertainty morphed into a predatory grin at the sight. "So, you think you can withstand another of my strikes?" he taunted, watching the cracks spread.

Zhang Wei's expression shifted subtly, a flicker of concern passing over his features as he scrutinized Yu Tian, reassessing the situation

Zhang Wei's expression shifted to one of curiosity as he murmured, "Long Tian? That sounds similar to Rose, Long Yufie..." His words trailed off as he pondered the possible connections, his mind racing with theories.

"Who are you!?" Long Tian, previously known as Yu Tian, bellowed. He had caught snippets of Zhang Wei's mutterings, including his own name. Shock coursed through him; his carefully guarded identity was at risk of being exposed.

Boom!

A powerful ominous aura burst forth from Long Tian. In a desperate move, he sacrificed a decade of his lifeforce, fueling his cultivation for a sudden, drastic increase in power. 'I must eliminate him before he reveals who I am,' he thought with resolute determination.

"Yu Tian! That's enough!" Chen Xiaoya and the others, overwhelmed by his intimidating aura, found themselves involuntarily crouching on the ground, unable to withstand the pressure.

"Silence!" Long Tian snapped, whirling around. With a swift sweep of his hand, he unleashed a deadly wave of energy.

Whoosh!

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

A horrifying spray of blood followed. An arc of lethal energy cleaved through the air, decapitating everyone behind him, save for Chen Xiaoya.

Zhang Wei's frown deepened as he witnessed the carnage. "You truly embody the essence of a villain, despite being a heaven's blessed child..." he murmured to himself.

The realization dawned on him that this Long Tian must be the Guardian, a being favored by the celestial powers above, yet his actions belied his supposed divine grace.

"Now it's your turn!" Long Tian sneered, his eyes ablaze with a sinister yellow glow. Behind him, the phantom of a dragon roared to life, bolstering his presence. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ɴovᴇlꜰɪre.ɴet

His fist, now encased in an aura of even more potent energy, seemed ready to unleash untold devastation.

Zhang Wei's expression tightened. :System, do it now!' He commanded internally. Almost instantly, Long Tian lunged towards him with ferocious speed.

Whoosh!

A towering pillar of golden energy erupted from Zhang Wei, shooting skyward, forcing everyone to shield their eyes from the blinding radiance. Long Tian, though momentarily taken aback, didn't halt his assault.

Booooooooooom

A colossal shockwave ripped through the area, so powerful it resonated all the way to the Shenwei military base kilometers away. The ground beneath them cratered, leaving a gaping maw several meters deep.

Long Tian's face contorted in disbelief. Zhang Wei stood unscathed, his entire form radiating a brilliant golden light. "Is that the best you can do?" He taunted with a laugh, effortlessly repelling Long Tian's attack. The cracks that had marred his body healed instantaneously.

Then, in a stunning reversal, Zhang Wei unleashed the energy he had absorbed from Long Tian's strike. A torrential wave of power burst forth.

Booom!
