Manipulative Harem God-Chapter 530: Brutal Killings!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The gunshots rang out, sharp and deafening, but the bullets never found their mark.

Rose, eyes squeezed shut, waited for the end that never came.

"Huh?" Her breath caught in her throat as she opened her eyes, expecting the worst.

Instead, a shimmering, translucent barrier of water stood before her, absorbing the shots like raindrops hitting a pond.

Zhang Wei was now beside her, his presence sudden and unnervingly calm, as though he had materialized from the very air.

From the shadows, he had been watching, biding his time. "Looks like I waited long enough. Good work!"

In a single bound, Zhang Wei placed himself between Rose and the pirates.

Splash!

The barrier rippled one last time before dissipating.

The pirate leader, eyes wide with shock, tried to compose himself. "What the hell—who are you?!"

Zhang Wei's gaze was cold, "You have two seconds to run."

Panic flashed across the pirate's face, but he pushed it aside, barking orders. "Shoot him! Now!"

Before the words even finished leaving his lips, Zhang Wei was upon him.

His hand wrapped around the leader's throat, lifting him effortlessly off the ground.

The man kicked and clawed, but it was like trying to fight a mountain.

"What makes you think you stand a chance?" Zhang Wei asked, his tone almost bored.

"Argh—"

Crack!

The pirate's neck snapped with ease.

Zhang Wei tossed the limp body against a nearby container, the impact loud enough to make the other pirates flinch.

Without a second thought, Zhang Wei stepped over the body, his voice as cold as ice. "Anyone else?"

The remaining pirates hesitated, fear overtaking their confidence.

"Kill him!" one of them screamed, his voice cracking. "Fire! Don't let him get close to you!!"

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Bullets filled the air, but Zhang Wei moved like a specter, his form flickering between shadows.

The gunfire was useless, as though they were shooting at mist.

Zhang Wei shook his head in disappointment. "Pathetic. If I wanted, you'd all be dead already. But…" He paused, eyeing them like prey. "…that would be too quick."

Before they could react, Zhang Wei blurred into motion. In an instant, he appeared behind three pirates.

With a casual flick of his wrist, he struck their heads.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Their skulls exploded into misty red clouds, and their bodies crumpled to the ground like discarded rags.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Rose's heart pounded in her chest, her breath caught in her throat. Enjoy new chapters from m-v l'-novelbuddy.net

This was not the Zhang Wei she thought she knew.

Her hands trembled as she watched the horrifying massacre, the cold dread sinking deeper into her bones.

"Man, we—we didn't mean—" one of the pirates stammered, his courage crumbling in the face of Zhang Wei's advance.

"Didn't mean what?" Zhang Wei's voice was low, deadly, his eyes narrowing on the man. "To die? Then why did you pick this path?"

Puchi! Puchi!

Zhang Wei's hands moved like lightning, crushing the necks of two pirates without a second glance.

Their bodies slumped to the ground, discarded.

In one swift motion, he grabbed two rifles from another pair of pirates, forcing the barrels into their open mouths.

"You were bold enough to fire at me. Now swallow the consequence."

The pirates' eyes were wide with terror, but before they could utter a word of protest—

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The rifles discharged, blood and brain matter painting the deck.

Rose's stomach lurched, the scene too surreal, too brutal to comprehend..

Zhang Wei's form blurred again.

In an instant, he was standing before two more pirates, his hands flashing out like striking serpents.

Puchi! Puchi!

He ripped their kidneys from their bodies, holding the organs in his bloodied hands as the pirates collapsed in agony.

One pirate, his face pale and drenched in sweat, dropped his weapon. "Mercy, please…" His voice trembling for mercy, eyes pleading.

Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow, amusement flickering across his face. "Mercy?" He let out a short, cruel laugh. "If you wanted mercy, you should've stayed home."

BAM!

Without warning, he kicked the man square in the chest, sending him flying into a metal crate.

CRASH!

PUFF!

The pirate's skull cracked upon impact, blood pooling beneath him as his body twitched once, then stilled.

More shots rang out from the remaining pirates, but it was hopeless.

Zhang Wei moved faster than they could track, his hands a blur of death.

Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!

Bones cracked, spines snapped, and bodies fell like broken dolls.

Rose stood frozen, her legs trembling beneath her.

She had never seen this side of Zhang Wei before—never imagined he could be so ruthlessly, so terrifyingly calm as he slaughtered the pirates one by one.

Puchi! Puchi!

Another neck snapped, another body hit the ground.

By the time Zhang Wei finished, the deck was a sea of blood, body parts strewn across the floor like the remnants of a nightmare.

Zhang Wei finally turned to face Rose, wiping his blood-streaked hands on his clothes which were also drenched in blood.

His voice was low, but it carried an unsettling calmnesz. "Don't worry," he said quietly, his eyes softening for the briefest moment. "It's over."

Rose's eyes remained wide, her heart still pounding with adrenaline.

Was it really over?

Or had she just glimpsed a side of Zhang Wei that could never be unseen?

At this moment, Rose's eyes suddenly glowed with a brilliant golden hue, as if the very heavens had descended upon her.

Her voice echoed next moment , sharp and urgent. "Dodge!"

"??"

Zhang Wei's head snapped toward her, confusion flashing across his face just as something whistled past his ear.

SWISH!

BAM!

The sound was deafening as the projectile slammed into the metal container behind him, leaving a gaping hole where it had struck.

Dust and debris flew into the air as Zhang Wei turned slowly to see the damage.

"Tch, how did I miss...?"

A voice, dripping with disdain, echoed from above.

Zhang Wei's eyes narrowed as he spotted a figure cloaked in white robes standing atop one of the cargo containers.

His face was obscured by a gleaming golden mask, the very image of mystery.

As Zhang Wei locked eyes on the figure, it vanished in an instant.

"Here! Surrender yourself, or she dies!"

Zhang Wei's heart raced as his gaze snapped back to Rose.

The masked figure had reappeared behind her, one arm wrapped around her, a glistening blade pressed dangerously close to her throat.

Rose's chest rose and fell with panic, but she held herself steady.

The masked man chuckled darkly."Haha… Long time no see Mr Zhang, I never thought you'd manage to win over the girl from Mystic Valley. Quite the achievement."

His laugh was low and mocking as he held the knife closer to Rose's pale neck, the blade trembling slightly with his amusement.

"This dagger, you see, is coated with the poison of the Thousand Stone Fish. One small nick…" His voice lowered, savoring the threat as the blade grazed her skin. "And she's as good as dead."

Rose's face hardened, her voice shaking but determined. "Don't listen to him, Zhang Wei!" Her shout was filled with desperation, the golden glow in her eyes burning bright. "Just kill him!"

"Shut up!" The masked man barked, his grip tightening.

Zhang Wei's expression remained unreadable, though his eyes gleamed with a deadly calm. "You are the Magician—Phantom."
