Systemless Villain

Chapter 147 Serpentine Whispers and Obsidian Embrace

"Why are you stopping me, my love? If I kill her, we can be together, just the two of us, forever," Li Yue'er uttered, her eyes reflecting a twisted blend of affection and obsession.

Long Tian's eyes narrowed, his voice cutting through the tension like a steel blade. "This isn't yourself, Li Yue'er, snap out of it!"

Li Yue'er's smile only widened, "Why? Don't you like strong women? I can be the strongest, surpassing even your wildest imagination," she said, her obsession unabated.

Long Tian's expression hardened, "This madness ends now, Li Yue'er," he declared.

With his words, darkness emanated from his hands, shrouding Li Yue'er.

Li Yue'er was overwhelmed by Long Tian's darkness, yet she made no attempt to resist, letting Long Tian do what he needed to.

Her jet-black eyes gradually returned to normal, and she collapsed, unconscious, onto the floor.

Long Tian quickly sat down, checking on her condition.

Meanwhile, Liu Qian was still perplexed by what had transpired, feeling the drastic change in Li Yue'er's aura.

At this moment, Long Tian looked at her, "I hope you don't internalize Li Yue'er's behavior, Qian'er. She was overtaken by her own martial spirit, which made her have a personality completely different from her true self," he explained earnestly.

Liu Qian still felt anger within her, but she remained silent, turning around and leaving Long Tian and Li Yue'er.

The Phoenix armor on her body slowly dissipated, returning to its normal form without a single wound.

Long Tian was relieved that Liu Qian didn't act impulsively. He gently picked up Li Yue'er and headed to the school's health center.

---

The wailing sirens of ambulances and a fleet of emergency vehicles pierced the air as they swarmed the school premises, swiftly evacuating the unconscious students affected by the overwhelming auras of Li Yue'er and Liu Qian.

Classes were ended early due to the situation, and students hurriedly made their way back home.

Right now, Long Tian and a group of teachers huddled inside the school's health center, their eyes fixed on the motionless form of Li Yue'er, who lay unconscious.

"Any insights on what triggered this transformation?" Chen Yu, one of the teachers, inquired, his curiosity piqued.

"It's a rare phenomenon where a martial spirit takes control of its host's body. I'm uncertain about the method to bring her back to consciousness, but there's a possibility she might recover with time," Long Tian explained.

His words hung heavy in the room, and a collective nod of understanding passed among the teachers. The drastic change in Li Yue'er was now more comprehensible; anyone present during the fight could sense the overwhelming power she wielded.

"This isn't a typical situation; it might be best to notify her family," Xiao Zhu suggested.

"No, keep her family out of this. I'll handle it," Long Tian replied firmly.

"The thing is, I've already reached out to the Li family earlier, and some of them will be coming," Kuai Lin, a middle-aged teacher, informed.

"What? Sigh, now I have to deal with them," Long Tian furrowed his brows, displeasure evident in his words.

Kuai Lin and the other teachers exchanged glances. Especially Kuai Lin, who felt uneasy.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and four people entered.

Xiao Zhu and the others immediately focused their attention on the newcomers.

"Where's Li Yue'er?" A man in his thirties with a formal style inquired, his tone devoid of concern.

The teachers discreetly stepped back, granting some space, revealing the unconscious Li Yue'er.

The man approached her, ensuring she was still breathing, "Finally found you, little girl. You've been missing for too long," he muttered.

After a brief pause, he turned to Xiao Zhu, "I'll bring her home," he declared.

"No, you're not taking her anywhere. I will take care for her," Long Tian interjected firmly.

The man frowned upon hearing this, his gaze shifting forward to see a teenager about the same age as Li Yue'er.

"Who are you?" he asked, his tone sharp.

"Long Tian," Long Tian replied calmly.

At the mention of the name Long, the man raised an eyebrow. "Are you from the Long family in Beijing?" he inquired, his curiosity piqued.

"You guessed it right," Long Tian affirmed.

The man's face immediatelly lit up. "Ah, you're Long Tian? Patriarch Long Zhan's son, right? You don't have to be so protective of my sister. I'm Li Bang, her older brother," he said, a genuine sense of joy in his voice.

"If you genuinely care for my sister, I wholeheartedly approve. Should you two decide to tie the knot, the Li family will host a grand celebration," he added, his enthusiasm shining through his words.

Long Tian was indifferent. "I don't care who you are or about your Li family. What's certain is, Li Yue'er will go with me. If you're curious about where she's been all this time, she's now living with me," he said.

Li Bang felt a twinge of offense at Long Tian's tone, but he restrained himself due to the other's influential background.

"Well, here's the kicker: our old man is hell-bent on having her back. He's been pining for Li Yue'er like a lost puppy," he revealed.

"Didn't I make myself clear earlier? Li Yue'er will stay with me," Long Tian's voice turned colder.

Li Bang couldn't contain his fury any longer. "Young Master Long, just because you're from some fancy, ancient family, doesn't mean you can play God," he spat back.

"Oh? Do you honestly think I'll let Li Yue'er go back to that nightmare? Your family's traditions are beyond despicable, treating women like slaves... and if you push me too far, I won't hesitate to unleash a horde of Golden Core cultivators to kill every trace of your pathetic existence," Long Tian retorted, his tone cutting through the air like a razor, laden with a palpable killing intent

The teachers sensed the overwhelming aura, their faces drenched in sweat, gripped by the gravity of the situation.

Li Bang and his companions wore identical expressions of dread. Long Tian's aura and words left no room for doubt — his threat was deadly serious.

"Fine, fine, I'm sorry. I retract my words," Li Bang apologized, genuine fear lacing his tone.

"Now, fuck off!" Long Tian spat, his voice sharp as a blade.

Without a moment's hesitation, Li Bang and his three companions hastily fled from the health center.
