Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 184

Chapter 184: The Stubbornness of a Defeated Protagonist Chapter 184: The Stubbornness of a Defeated Protagonist “The strength of Fang Yuan’s power-boosting secret art is astonishing.

Could such a technique really come from the Fang Clan?” Ji Mingxiu wondered aloud, his gaze fixed on Fang Yuan, a mix of surprise and concern in his eyes.

Mo Yu and the other Supreme Elders shared his confusion and worry.

The secret art Fang Yuan had used had multiplied his fighting power many times over – a truly intimidating sight!

Even the most powerful techniques from the Purple Heaven Holy Land could produce a similar effect, but at a terrifying cost.

Regardless of where Fang Yuan had obtained this secret art, could he withstand the backlash of such a powerful technique?

Was he risking total ruin by invoking it?

Fearing the worst, Ji Mingxiu turned to Mo Yu and the other three with a serious expression and said, “Prepare the best healing pills.

Fang Yuan, though slightly inferior to Jiang Chen, is an invaluable asset.

We cannot afford any accidents.” “We understand,” Mo Yu, Li Shang, Han Xu, and Liu Mei replied immediately, ready to assist Fang Yuan if necessary.

On the stage, Jiang Chen and Fang Yuan moved in rapid succession, darting wildly and leaving a trail of countless afterimages.

In an instant, the stage seemed filled with phantoms, creating a strangely captivating scene.

As Fang Yuan saw Jiang Chen, always tantalizingly close but impossible to strike, his frustration and anxiety surged.

‘Damn it!

Why isn’t his speed slowing down?

At this rate, I’ll be worn down!’ In the next moment, he clenched his teeth with determination and once again risked everything, using a secret art to boost his speed.

Piercing Wind Mysterious Art!

This technique wasn’t particularly high-grade, but it gave Fang Yuan a small burst of speed – and right now, that slight boost was all he needed!

Utilizing the Piercing Wind Mysterious Art, Fang Yuan finally closed the tiny gap, his spear tip just inches away from piercing Jiang Chen’s back!

But Jiang Chen had been alert, anticipating Fang Yuan’s sudden move.

Void Rainbow Sword Technique, Fourth Style – Sword Shadow!

With a swift sweep of the sword in his right hand, Jiang Chen instantly unleashed a flurry of sword shadows behind him.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The long spear met the sword, setting off a relentless symphony of clashing metal!

Amidst the circular shockwaves, both Jiang Chen and Fang Yuan were flung sideways.

But in a blink, Fang Yuan took to the air again, leaving a trail of sonic booms in his wake.

He unleashed his most powerful attack, the Fierce God Seven Killings Spear Technique, Fourth Move – Death Decree, charging straight at Jiang Chen once more!

Turning swiftly, Jiang Chen countered with a fierce slash of his sword!

Clang!

The sharp, piercing sound was nearly deafening, as if it could shatter eardrums!

In the next instant, Fang Yuan’s body was visible, flung backward like a cannonball, crashing violently into the formation barrier!

At the same time, Jiang Chen appeared to retreat over ten meters, quickly steadying his stance.

Ptui!

Fang Yuan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face filled with disbelief.

“How can this be?” he gasped, his entire body trembling, utterly stunned that he had been defeated so easily by Jiang Chen.

After all, he had used two power-boosting secret arts.

One of them, the Vigorous Sift Diagram, had been gifted to him by Shangguan Ning and Nangong Wan – it was no ordinary secret art!

Yet even with all this, he was still sent flying by Jiang Chen!

Just how powerful was Jiang Chen!?

Countless disciples gathered in the main square of the Holy Land saw Fang Yuan being repelled, and a wave of excited chatter filled the air.

“Look!

Fang Yuan has been thrown back!

He didn’t even trigger the formation’s protective barrier, but he’s close to losing.” “I’m a bit confused.

How did he suddenly become so strong?

Did he take a pill to boost his combat strength?” “That seems very likely.

Could Fang Yuan have mastered such a powerful secret art in such a short time?

He must have taken a pill!

That’s clearly against the rules!” “He’s really trying everything to win, but all his efforts against Senior Brother Jiang Chen are pointless!” “I’ve completely figured out Fang Yuan.

He’s nothing but a scoundrel, yet Senior Brother Jiang Chen has been so gracious to him!” “Senior Brother Jiang Chen must understand what kind of person Fang Yuan really is.

But as he said before, recognizing one’s mistakes and correcting them is a virtue, which is why he’s been so patient with Fang Yuan.” “All you ever do is talk about Fang Yuan.

He’s not worth it.

Don’t interrupt my admiration for Senior Brother Jiang Chen’s bravery, alright?” “Right, right.

Senior Brother Jiang Chen is so admirable; who can truly measure his strength?” While from Fang Yuan’s side came only mockery, scorn, and doubt, from Jiang Chen’s side came nothing but respect and awe!

Back on the stage, Jiang Chen looked at Fang Yuan, whose face was filled with disbelief and defiance, and spoke calmly, “Junior Brother Fang Yuan, let’s end this.” “No!” Fang Yuan shouted, shaking his head furiously.

“I haven’t been defeated yet!” “You’ve also used a power-boosting secret art – you’ll fall before I do!” With those words, he lunged forward like a vengeful serpent, his long spear aimed straight for Jiang Chen’s throat in an instant!

Jiang Chen let out a sigh, shifting his stance as his long sword sliced an arc through the air.

Clang!!

The long sword and spear collided with a resounding clash.

A circular shockwave burst outward, warping the air around them.

Bang!

Fang Yuan was thrown back once more, crashing into the formation barrier, blood spilling from his mouth.

“Aaagh!” Fang Yuan roared in disbelief, his face wild with rage as he gripped the spear tightly and launched yet another attack.

Jiang Chen skillfully evaded while brandishing his long sword, using the Void Rainbow Sword Technique to parry each strike.

Even though the Void Rainbow Sword Technique was only a Heavenly Origin rank sword technique, Jiang Chen’s combat power was overwhelming, having already surpassed the Late-stage Inquiring Journey realm.

Thus, despite Fang Yuan’s use of his clan’s powerful spear technique, he was repeatedly pushed back by Jiang Chen!

On the stage, Fang Yuan attacked Jiang Chen like a demon possessed, but Jiang Chen calmly continued to wield his long sword, sending Fang Yuan flying back time and again.

After dozens of clashes, with a thunderous boom, Fang Yuan was once again sent flying by Jiang Chen, crashing into the barrier of the stage’s formation.

He fell to the ground immediately, a flicker of confusion and disorientation appearing in his bloodshot eyes.

He was on the brink of collapse from Jiang Chen’s relentless attacks.

Yet, Fang Yuan still had the instinctual urge to charge at Jiang Chen again.

But his body convulsed violently, and the immense strength that had been surging through him vanished in an instant.

A wave of weakness and sharp pain overwhelmed him, drowning him completely.

The duration of his secret art’s effect had run out!

‘No!!’ Fang Yuan’s lips trembled; he couldn’t even gather the strength to shout, forced to swallow his anger and frustration in silence.

He strained, desperately trying to circulate his Origin Power, but it felt as if his body had been cut off from his control, completely unresponsive.

At that moment, a figure appeared before him – it was Jiang Chen.

“Are you alright?” Jiang Chen asked, concern etched on his face as he offered a bottle containing a pill.

“Here, take this healing pill quickly!” Drawing a deep breath through gritted teeth, the light in Fang Yuan’s eyes grew slightly brighter.

In a shaky yet fiercely stubborn voice, he declared, “No, I haven’t been defeated yet!” From his perspective, Jiang Chen was looking down on him from a lofty height, pretending to be magnanimous.

“You’ve already proven your strength.

Why keep fighting?” Jiang Chen asked, shaking his head with a sigh.

“Since you’re still unwilling to surrender, I’ll wait for you to recover.” With that, he stepped back several meters, quietly watching Fang Yuan.

In his heart, Jiang Chen felt a surge of silent mockery.

Of course, he didn’t want Fang Yuan to give up so easily; after all, the ‘final blow’ he had planned for Fang Yuan had yet to be delivered!
