Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 217

Chapter 217: The Tragic End of Fang Yuan Chapter 217: The Tragic End of Fang Yuan “Fang Yuan!

Don’t you understand why we show kindness to Jiang Chen?

Isn’t it obvious?” Nangong Wan’s voice was heavy with disappointment as she threw her questions at him.

“Have you forgotten that Jiang Chen was the one who found us and warned us about the danger coming our way?” Shangguan Ning stepped in, her tone firm.

“Jiang Chen could have kept that information to himself, waiting for the right moment to use it for his own benefit.

He could have traded it for leverage or great rewards.” “But he didn’t,” she continued.

“Yes, he had his reasons, but you can’t ignore the generosity behind his actions.” “For us, Jiang Chen is the perfect ally,” Nangong Wan added, her voice calmer but still filled with disappointment.

“The four of us, working together and supporting each other, is what’s best for everyone.

But your jealousy, your hostility, your small-mindedness have torn us apart and brought all this chaos!” Shangguan Ning’s voice grew sharp, cutting through Fang Yuan’s protests.

“Even now, with everything falling apart, you show no regret!

You’ve opposed Jiang Chen from the start, and look at the disaster it’s brought us!” Her tone was much harsher than Nangong Wan’s, her patience long gone.

The trust she once had in Fang Yuan had completely crumbled, leaving no space for soft words or gentle rebukes.

Fang Yuan’s face twisted with rage, his desperation driving every word.

“No!

You’re the one who’s wrong!

Jiang Chen is scheming against us!

He’s an enemy-one we can never make peace with!” His voice broke, filled with fury and frustration.

“You never truly believed in me!

From the beginning, you’ve had your eyes on Jiang Chen, haven’t you?!” His eyes blazed with madness, and his voice rose into a wild scream.

“Ha!

You have no honor!

I’ll destroy you!

All of you!” Completely unhinged, Fang Yuan gave in to his rage, his mind spiraling into chaos.

With a crazed gesture, he stared at the Soul Embodying Ring in his hand, his words growing more incoherent as he began to strike at it wildly, consumed by frantic desperation.

“Fang Yuan!” Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning shouted in unison, their voices filled with shock and disbelief.

They hadn’t expected him to fall into such madness, losing all sense of reason.

Jiang Chen, who had been silently savoring the success of his schemes, suddenly sensed a shift in the situation.

His expression darkened, and his voice cut through the air, “Fang Yuan, stop this!” Without wasting a moment, Jiang Chen unleashed a soul attack-Soul Stirring Needle-a precise strike aimed at Fang Yuan’s crazed mind.

Bang!

An invisible spiritual shockwave slammed into Fang Yuan without warning, piercing deep into his sea of consciousness.

“Aagh-!” Fang Yuan’s agonized scream echoed through the void, his mind overwhelmed with unbearable pain.

It felt as if his head was about to burst.

The violent force he had unleashed on the Soul Embodying Ring wavered, his attack stopping suddenly.

But Fang Yuan didn’t stop.

His madness had fully taken hold, and the pain only fueled his desperate rage.

He had lost everything-Nangong Wan, Shangguan Ning, and now even the faint hope of salvation.

With no allies left, only Jiang Chen, his fated enemy, stood before him.

The depth of his despair was bottomless, and he knew his end was near.

Yet, even as death hovered over him, one desire burned fiercely in his heart: to drag Jiang Chen, Nangong Wan, and Shangguan Ning down with him.

If he was to die, he would make sure they paid the price, no matter what.

But Jiang Chen had no intention of letting that happen.

“I SAID STOP THIS!” Jiang Chen roared, his voice thundering with authority as he slammed into Fang Yuan’s side.

With a swift, precise knife-hand strike, he knocked the Soul Embodying Ring out of Fang Yuan’s grasp.

Fang Yuan was thrown sideways by the impact, landing with a sickening thud in the pool of blood beneath the corpse of the demonic python-a beast skilled in the Dao of Poison.

Even in death, the demonic python’s body still radiated lethal venom, powerful enough to kill even the strongest cultivators.

Fang Yuan, with only the strength of a Middle-stage Inquiring Journey cultivator, had no hope of surviving its corrosive force.

The moment his body hit the blood, it began to sink, and gray-white smoke rose from his skin as the venom started its deadly work.

“Aaaargh-!” Fang Yuan’s scream was heart-wrenching, filled with unbearable pain as the venom coursed through his body, burning his flesh.

His muscles spasmed and convulsed as the agony took over.

Yet, despite the overwhelming torment, pure desperation pushed him forward.

With every last bit of strength, Fang Yuan clawed his way out of the venomous pool, his mind barely holding onto sanity.

His protective artifact was completely destroyed, and his once-proud physique had been reduced to a grotesque, mutilated shell.

His skin was covered in ulcers, his flesh melting away before his eyes.

Where there had once been a strong, young cultivator, now stood a bloodied, disfigured figure-unrecognizable from who he once was.

But even in his shattered state, Fang Yuan’s madness knew no limits.

Without hesitation, he broke into a frenzied dash toward the wilderness, his mind fractured and broken.

As he fled, his deranged screams echoed across the desolate landscape.

“Jiang Chen holds the residual souls of two Void Tribulation realm powerhouses!

Whoever seizes them can ascend to the Third Step of the Cultivation Path!” “Fang Yuan!” Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning cried out in horror, their voices trembling with shock.

They hadn’t expected his desperation to push him this far-he was now trying to drag them all into disaster.

“We have no other options!” A flicker of pain crossed Jiang Chen’s face, though it was more calculated than real.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward, launching a deadly strike from behind Fang Yuan.

“You won’t escape retribution…!” Fang Yuan’s roar of fury echoed, but his words were cut off abruptly.

Jiang Chen’s Peerless Sky Piercing Sword had already driven through his heart, the blade gleaming with finality as it snuffed out Fang Yuan’s life in an instant.

His body tensed, then went still, the sheer power of the strike leaving no chance for survival.

[Ding!

Congratulations on successfully eliminating the protagonist, Fang Yuan!] [Ding!

You have gained 50,000 Villain Value points!] [Ding!

You have accumulated 18,686 Black Heavenly Fate Value points!] Three system prompts echoed in Jiang Chen’s mind, confirming his victory.

But for now, he ignored them, his focus remaining sharp, cold, and calculated.

With one swift, powerful motion, Jiang Chen swung his sword, sending Fang Yuan’s lifeless body soaring through the air.

The corpse became a streak of light, flying straight toward the gaping maw of the Dao Comprehension realm demonic python.

Inside the demonic python’s mouth, a pool of venomous blood-now even deadlier than before-had gathered.

The moment Fang Yuan’s body hit the toxic pool, his flesh and blood disintegrated in an instant, leaving behind only a blood-soaked skeleton.

The only trace of his identity was his Heavenly Origin rank spear, corroded and barely recognizable in the venomous sludge.

At that moment, a soft glow radiated from Jiang Chen’s forehead, cascading onto the Soul Embodying Ring in his grasp.

The ring shimmered under the ethereal light, releasing an invisible force.

Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning immediately sensed the presence of a subtle yet profound binding power.

Deep within their hearts, an instinctive understanding unfolded-they now faced a choice: to refuse or to accept.

The force guiding this realization was unlike anything they had ever felt, its strength far surpassing that of the Void Tribulation realm.

In fact, it was greater than the Fourth Step of the Cultivation Path they had once envisioned, surpassing it by an immeasurable margin.

The options before them were clear: if they refused, their current situation would remain the same, unchanged.

But if they accepted, they would form a deeper, unbreakable bond with Jiang Chen-a bond that would transcend the limits of mere alliances.
