Villain : I reincarnated as a Prince! Shouldn't I have a Harem?

You should thank your luck that I like you and we met yesterday otherwise you would be dead right now!

Yan Li didn't know that it was all thanks to Ashen that he was even alive right now.

On the contrary, he was beginning to think that this was some hidden power of his at play:

It looks like I have some power inside me that's hidden and only shows itself when my life is in danger,

Now that this power has manifested itself, I should be able to defeat Li Qi easily, since he has almost lost his weapon!

Right, I should attack before this power goes away,

Analyzing the situation in his mind, a smile appeared on Yan Li's face as he pointed his cracked sword at Li Qi and declared: "Li Qi, I have recognized my power and now, you'll die!"

His smile turned wicked as he jumped and struck at Li Qi with his cracked sword, aiming to slice Li Qi from the middle.

Li Qi lifted the remaining portion of the shaft that was remaining to block the sword in its track.

Swoosh!

"Arrgh!"

Spurt!

Yan Li's sword didn't experience any resistance as it sliced the shaft, before cutting Li Qi down as blood sprayed out of him.

Yan Li felt invincible right now and he didn't want to waste any time, fearing the dissipation of this power.

He shifted his gaze to the remaining children and chose the closest pair who were fighting each other.

He dashed and swung his sword at the neck of the red tribe's member from behind, beheading him instantly.

The yellow tribe's member was happy to see Yan Li as he suggested with a smile: "Yan Li, Let's go and save the others!"

Swoosh!

"Argh!"

The yellow tribe member grabbed at his neck that was cut by Yan Li with wide eyes opened in shock.

Yan Li, with a solemn expression, muttered: "Sorry, I can't waste time. I need to win fast, everyone in this ring is my enemy!"

Then, without wasting any more time, he moved on to the next pair.

He killed them in a similar manner before everyone else who was fighting between themselves noticed him.

They understood that Yan Li wasn't on anyone's side right now.

One of the red tribe's members searched for Li Qi upon seeing Yan Li free and attacking like this. He didn't know that Li Qi had been already slain.

After a bit of searching, his gaze fell on the lifeless body of Li Qi, lying alongside a pool of blood.

He couldn't hide his shock: "What? He was able to kill Li Qi? Unbelievable!"

Soon, everyone's attention also went to Li Qi's corpse as one of the red members' said: "Brothers, right now Yan Li is the biggest threat to us all, we should eliminate him first!"

Yan Li didn't pay any attention to them as he went killing anyone he could find.

Fearing him, others formed a group to surround and kill Yan Li.

However, Yan Li's onslaught couldn't be stopped.

Any weapon that faced his sword got sliced in two.

Soon the numbers began to fall down and Yan Li was having no problem in killing them. He just had to swing his sword, believing that it would cut the others without any problem.

Also, all the others who were left were weak and couldn't contend with Yan Li.

In a matter of minutes, the whole ring was bathed in blood with countless young corpses lying around with Yan Li standing alone in the middle with his whole body colored red.

From these corpses, a red hue was getting drawn to the altar stones, gathering in them the blood essence of these children who participated in the trial.

Almost everyone was in shock at the trial they had just witnessed.

There had been no case like this in which the trial was just a massacre by one kid.

It seemed unfair as if that sword wielded by Yan Li was some sort of treasure that could cut anything in its way.

The tribe-heads even decided to inspect the sword, however, they couldn't find anything suspicious with it.

It was a low-grade sword that even broke when they returned it to Yan Li.

Meanwhile, Ashen decided to leave:

I should leave now since I am done here.

Turning to Feng Xue, he informed her: "Feng Xue, I'm leaving to complete the task I came for. You should stay here until I return."

Feng Xue nodded in understanding. It wasn't her place to ask questions so she simply complied with his wishes. Continue reading stories on m|v-l'e m,p y r

It wouldn't even matter if she disagreed. Wasn't she here despite her unwillingness?

"Here, I'll unlock your power so you can protect yourself while I'm away!"

Snap!

He snapped his fingers, instantly unsealing Feng Xue's blocked powers!

"Alright then, take care," said Ashen before disappearing from her sight.

Feng Xue was surprised to see that, however, she didn't show it on her face.

Ashen's motive in coming to north was clear, to gather information about the protagonist Qin Feng and synchronize the system to use the new feature that was unlocked by the system's upgrade.

He needed to get within a 100m radius of the protagonist to use that feature and hence, using the map provided by the system, he was moving using the new skill that he had bought from the system for 2 million Villain Points.

{

SightStep

(2 Million VP)

A spatial skill that allows the cultivator to instantly teleport to the farthest visible point within their line of sight. When activated, the user's vision sharpens, narrowing in on their intended destination and creating a temporary ripple in the space between. As they focus, the skill weaves together strands of spatial qi, locking on to the target location.

}

This was a simple space path skill that made movement really convenient for its user.

Using it, Ashen understood how it worked. It was simply the work of spatial qi enveloping your body and teleporting you to the coordinates that were targeted by your eyes.

It was worth the 2 million points he used on only this skill.

Using it, he could easily cover more than 200 km in a second.

Though continuous teleporting was not possible, it made up for it by the distance it covered in a single second. It was like using a short-distance teleportation talisman.

It could only be used after a 30-second cooldown. This cooldown was due to the fluctuation in spatial qi caused by the skill.

Using it efficiently, Ashen reached the protagonist's location by the evening.

He was inside the central prefecture of the Xue Mo Tribe.

According to the map provided by the system, the protagonist was in a restricted area to outsiders and common people.

He was in the center of the prefecture, living close to the emperor realm expert's castle.

Ashen didn't have any problem infiltrating the area with the SightStep.

Ashen hid his cultivation to a mortal's level. No one would be able to detect him by his aura or cultivation now. It was a necessary step to evade the senses of that Emperor realm expert.

Navigating his way stealthily, he found himself the residence of Qin Feng.

It was a large Mansion that resembled the chinese castles from his previous world.

Outside the castle were two origin realm guards and Ashen could sense one King Realm and two core-formation realm experts from inside the mansion.

Ashen knew he could never get into the 100m radius of the protagonist until he went to meet him head-on in the castle or waited for him to come out.

But knowing that he could be in close cultivation, waiting for him wasn't a good option.

At first, he considered infiltrating like an assassin, however, dropped the idea due to the simple fact that there was a king realm expert.

Only someone with ghost qi could hide his presence from a king realm expert.

Though, for Ashen, hiding his cultivation was easy, but he couldn't move without making any noise or leaving any traces.

As one's cultivation advances, their senses also become more heightened.

Therefore, he decided to go and meet him in some disguise.

Now he only needed to think of a reason and an identity to meet Qin Feng!
