Systemless Villain

Chapter 260 One Down, Two Left!

The expressions of the three men condensed as they witnessed five dark figures emerging beside Long Tian, each emanating a threatening and unpredictable aura.

Hou Dian calmed himself as he inquired, "Is this your power? It still doesn't change the fact that your opponents remain three formidable individuals in the Nascent Soul realm, while you are in the Flowing Qi realm. Can't you see the difference?"

"All I can see is victory," Long Tian retorted, a smirk playing on his lips.

Now, Hou Dian was truly frustrated by the much younger man before him. He despised those who were overly confident but failed to recognize their own limited abilities. Especially a youth like Long Tian with a sky-high identity.

His expression turned cold with murderous intent. This was the perfect place to end the main line of the Long family's lineage.

"You're truly not afraid, huh?" he remarked.

"I've faced something far more terrifying than three cultivators in the Nascent Soul realm," Long Tian responded with a casual grin.

This statement narrowed Hou Dian's eyes. He didn't know if Long Tian was joking or not, but his confidence truly disgusted him.

"Let's not talk too much. Since this is the perfect isolated spot, it's also the best grave for you, Long Tian," he said coldly.

With that, Hou Dian lunged directly at Long Tian, his fists clenched tightly as he swung towards his adversary, where the young man in front of him did the same, causing both of their fists to clash, resulting in sparks of powerful aura.

Hou Dian couldn't contain his surprise, not expecting Long Tian to withstand his attack. And this time, he remained on guard as Long Tian seemed poised to counterattack.

Creaaaack!

Electricity crackled menacingly in Long Tian's left hand. Hou Dian, observing this, chose to remain silent, assessing just how formidable this young man truly was.

Long Tian seized the opportunity gleefully, unleashing the surge of electricity towards the middle-aged man, subjecting him to a jolt of high-voltage shock that left his body convulsing uncontrollably.

Unable to mask their astonishment, Ju Yin and Lu Dan attempted to confront Long Tian, only to be swiftly overpowered by the five dark souls under his command.

As the dark souls engaged Lu Dan and Ju Yin, Long Tian streaked forward like a bolt of lightning, reappearing near the incapacitated Hou Dian, the residual effects of the lightning strike still visible.

With the dark souls confronting Lu Dan and Ju Yin, Long Tian shot forward like lightning, appearing near the still incapacitated Hou Dian with the effects of the lightning strike still visible.

Curling his fingers, leaving only two digits extended, Long Tian channeled his energy into the remaining pair and expertly jabbed Hou Dian's neck with precision. The attack landed flawlessly, and in the next instant, a surge of electricity surged through Hou Dian's body, eliciting a deafening scream as he convulsed violently, emitting a tremendous surge of electric energy.

Yet, amidst this powerful attack, his arm was suddenly gripped by Hou Dian, tightly, and then forcefully thrown back, sending him flying to crash into one of the pillars.

As Hou Dian slowly rose to his feet, his body still tingling with residual electric energy, he couldn't shake the realization of his grave error. What began as a mere test of Long Tian's strength had now left him with internal injuries inflicted by the devastating electric shock attack. It was truly a regrettable decision to underestimate the power of Long Tian.

Long Tian rose to his feet once more, striding confidently towards his opponent. "As expected from the pinnacle Nascent Soul cultivator's strength, my back hurts," he said with a grin.

Hou Dian's anger flared at Long Tian's nonchalant comment. "As expected, you say?" he retorted furiously. "I'll make you regret those words, you insolent brat!"

Without a moment's hesitation, he launched himself towards Long Tian, who responded fearlessly. "Bring it on!"

Bang!

The sound of their fists colliding echoed through the air, followed swiftly by a barrage of devastating strikes that sent shockwaves rippling through the surrounding aura, a testament to the intensity of their clash.

Despite the disparity in their realms and levels of cultivation, Long Tian proved to be a formidable match for Hou Dian with his dragon and demon lineage. His physical strength had been forged by various powers, both genetic and external, giving him an incredibly strong physical prowess that even low-level swords couldn't penetrate.

After 10 minutes of fighting and exchanging martial arts moves, Hou Dian began to sweat, wondering why the youth facing him could match him.

Craaaarck!

The crackle of lightning erupted from Long Tian's arm as he struck Hou Dian, who managed to endure the surge but felt its effects coursing through him, forcing him to stagger back dozens of steps.

As the electric charge subsided, Hou Dian's expression twisted into one of frustration and fury. "So, you enjoy physical confrontations, huh? Not unexpected from a descendant of the dragon clan; your physical prowess is truly remarkable!"

"But..." he continued, and in that moment, Ju Yin suddenly lunged towards Long Tian. The young man looked startled, but his reaction was too sluggish, allowing Ju Yin to seize both of his arms from behind, rendering him immobile.

"Got you!" Ju Yin declared with a smirk.

Long Tian struggled against Ju Yin's grip, but the man's hold proved too formidable. He cast a glance towards his dark souls, knowing that all five of them were ensnared by Lu Dan, seemingly trapped within his domain.

Returning his focus to Hou Dian, Long Tian braced himself as a punch came hurtling from the middle-aged man, striking him squarely in the face.

But it didn't end there. A barrage of blows followed from Hou Dian, each strike delivering a powerful impact that resulted in collisions of aura, characteristic of a pinnacle Nascent Soul cultivator.

Blood began to trickle from Long Tian's nose, bruises and welts marring his once unblemished skin, particularly on his face. Hou Dian showed no mercy, especially towards someone of such lofty stature.

Though Long Tian's prestigious identity remained untarnished, being on the receiving end of Hou Dian's assault brought forth an indescribable sensation, and an unconcealed smirk adorned Hou Dian's face as he continued to rain blows upon Long Tian.

Long Tian endured the relentless onslaught of punches from Hou Dian, each blow sending waves of pain rippling through his body. Yet, he remained steadfast, refusing to yield. Instead of fixating on the middle-aged assailant, his gaze sharpened, focusing intently on his dark souls engaged in combat with Lu Dan, a hint of dark energy swirling within his eyes.

Smack! Smack! Smack!

Hou Dian's assault persisted, his expression twisted with cruelty. While his ultimate goal may have been Long Tian's demise, relishing in the torment inflicted upon him first brought a sickening pleasure.

"Do you finally see your own weaknesses? What good is it, 6 against 3, if you don't understand the strength of your adversary?" he taunted, a malicious grin playing across his features as he savored every strike.

With each blow, his ferocity intensified, particularly when he noticed Long Tian's diverted attention. Frustration began to gnaw at him, furrows deepening on his brow.

As he prepared to voice his triumph, his words were silenced by Long Tian's sudden gaze.

"But you... You don't know how strong I am," Long Tian interjected with a grin.

A sense of foreboding gripped Hou Dian. In an instant, Long Tian vanished, and what was in front of him was no longer a human, but a dark soul!

Hou Dian and Ju Yin recoiled in shock, their eyes widening in disbelief. Their hearts skipped a beat as Long Tian reappeared behind Lu Dan, seamlessly swapping places with the dark soul!

While Long Tian unsheathed his dark blade, Hou Dian exclaimed loudly, "Lu Dan, behind you!"

However, Lu Dan's reaction was too slow. Before he could react, Long Tian's blade sliced through his neck in a swift, decisive motion.

SLASH!

The sequence unfolded with alarming speed, leaving Lu Dan frozen in shock, his eyes wide with disbelief.

In the next moment, his lifeless body crumpled to the ground, Long Tian gripping his severed head in a chilling display.

Hou Dian and Ju Yin stood frozen, their expressions blank with incredulity.

Meanwhile, Long Tian's grin widened as he raised Lu Dan's head, addressing the stunned duo.

"One down, two left," he declared with a smirk, the blood dripping from his blade adding to the ominous aura surrounding him.
