Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 259

Chapter 259: A Timely Distraction Chapter 259: A Timely Distraction In no time, the Feng Clan cultivators had spread out, covering a large portion of the area within the formation’s range.

Gu Ran would be noticed the moment he revealed himself.

On Goldenleaf Street, Feng Liu, the eldest son of the Feng Clan, led a group of his trusted followers on a search mission, his heart racing with excitement.

To him, this so-called Niu Qing, daring to oppose the Feng Clan, was courting disaster.

Very soon, he, Feng Liu, would seize Niu Qing’s invisibility skill and rise as an unstoppable expert in his realm!

The thought of possessing such a skill made his pulse quicken.

With it, endless opportunities would open up for him, and the prospect filled him with exhilaration.

Meanwhile, just a short distance away, Gu Ran stood in plain sight, unnoticed, his presence carefully concealed.

He cast a cold, indifferent glance at Feng Liu and his approaching group.

Feng Liu, you dare covet what is mine?

he thought, his eyes gleaming with a murderous light.

In his heart, Feng Liu’s fate was already sealed.

Striking now would certainly expose him, drawing more enemies his way.

But Gu Ran wasn’t concerned.

If he had escaped the encirclement once, he could do it again.

Besides, after eliminating Feng Liu and his men, he would grow even stronger!

With every battle serving as a stepping stone, his power would soon push him to the Inquiring Journey realm.

Just as Gu Ran was about to strike, a deafening roar shook the air, coming from beyond the island.

ROAR!

The sheer intensity of the sound made it clear – this wasn’t a demonic beast from the Heavenly Origin realm or anything lower.

A demonic beast is attacking Blackwood Island?!

Gu Ran’s heart skipped a beat, his eyes narrowing in surprise.

And it’s a beast from the Inquiring Journey realm!

At the same time, the cultivators of Blackwood Island also heard the beast’s savage roar, their faces pale with shock.

“A demonic beast attack!” Feng Hongbo’s face twisted in shock, his disbelief clear in his wide eyes.

Why now of all times?

he thought, his mind racing.

Damn it!

That powerhouse completely eradicated the last wave of demonic beasts.

Even if they were to return, it shouldn’t be this soon!

How could an Inquiring Journey realm demonic beast suddenly appear on Blackwood Island?!

The questions swirled in his mind, and his face grew pale.

Elsewhere, the ordinary residents of Blackwood Island were gripped by fear and panic.

“A demonic beast is attacking!” people cried out, their voices filled with alarm.

“Another Inquiring Journey realm demonic beast!” “Let’s hope it doesn’t cause as much destruction as the last one.

Blackwood Island can’t survive another disaster like that!” Their faces turned pale, their fear palpable as whispers and shouts of terror spread.

The Feng Clan’s cultivators weren’t immune to the chaos either.

“Damn it, a demonic beast attack!” Feng Liu cursed, his expression dark with frustration.

How am I supposed to hunt Niu Qing with this happening?!

He glared in the direction beyond the formation, his eyes filled with unease.

…

“This won’t do!” Feng Hongbo’s eyes sharpened with unyielding determination.

We can’t let Niu Qing escape!

If he gets away now, even if we survive this wave of demonic beasts, he might come back to haunt us later!

He must be eliminated!

Without hesitation, he ordered all Feng Clan members to continue pursuing Gu Ran.

Meanwhile, Feng Hongbo himself charged out of Blackwood Island’s Great Formation, stepping beyond the protective barrier.

In the distance, a massive creature loomed in the sky, speeding toward them with terrifying momentum.

It was a bird-like demonic beast at the Middle-stage of the Inquiring Journey realm, its body tainted with sinister Demonic Spiritual Qi.

To Feng Hongbo’s relief, only this one demonic beast had appeared-there was no sign of a larger tide following behind it.

It was likely a lone straggler that had evaded the net cast by the great powerhouse.

Perhaps it had been too far away to be killed during the previous purge, or maybe it was only recently corrupted by the Demonic Spiritual Qi.

Either way, with just one demonic beast to face, and its strength not overwhelmingly high, Feng Hongbo was confident they could handle it.

Once I take care of this beast, Niu Qing will be next, Feng Hongbo thought.

By then, Zhang San might have already captured him.

Even though Zhang San is only at the Early-stage of the Inquiring Journey realm, dealing with an exposed Niu Qing shouldn’t be too difficult, he mused, his confidence beginning to return.

Suddenly, the bird-like demonic beast let out a roar-a sound more like a lion’s growl than a bird’s call.

It was bone-chilling and unnerving.

The enormous beast, its shadow resembling a dark storm cloud, dove toward Blackwood Island in an instant.

As soon as its gaze locked onto Feng Hongbo, it launched a ferocious attack!

“Damned beast, die!” Feng Hongbo roared in fury, meeting its assault head-on.

Boom!  The sky erupted with the deafening sounds of their clash, the battle shaking the air around them.

…

Inside the Great Formation of Blackwood Island, Gu Ran remained hidden, closely observing the situation as it unfolded.

So, an Inquiring Journey realm demonic beast really is attacking the island, he thought, his eyes gleaming.

Haha, this beast’s timing couldn’t be better.

Feng Hongbo is forced to deal with it, leaving me the perfect chance to strike!

A cold smirk played on his lips.

Meanwhile, Feng Liu and his group felt reassured by Feng Hongbo’s confident orders.

If Father believes he can handle that bird-like demonic beast, then he must be certain of victory, Feng Liu thought, his own confidence growing.

That leaves it to me to take care of this cornered fool, Niu Qing!

He too smiled coldly, a glint of cruelty in his eyes.

Without hesitation, Feng Liu led his team forward, each step bringing them closer to Gu Ran.

…

While all this was happening, Jiang Chen remained hidden high in the sky, his expression calm and composed.

He had noticed the bird-like demonic beast earlier but deliberately chose not to attack it.

He had deduced that the beast’s arrival was guided by Heavenly Fate.

Its role was to distract Feng Hongbo, giving Gu Ran enough time to carry out his killing spree without interference.

By the time Feng Hongbo realized what was happening, Gu Ran would have already grown much stronger-strong enough to face an Inquiring Journey realm expert.

In the end, Feng Hongbo would undoubtedly fall to Gu Ran, and the bird-like demonic beast would also be slain, becoming another stepping stone for Gu Ran’s rise.

In short, everything was fated to end up in Gu Ran’s hands.

But now that I’ve entered the picture, Jiang Chen mused, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Gu Ran, how much of what should be yours will you actually keep?

He continued to observe the events unfolding on Blackwood Island, his gaze steady and calculating.

…

On Goldenleaf Street, Feng Liu led his group forward, his divine sense carefully scanning the area for any trace of Gu Ran.

Suddenly, a sharp, icy light appeared out of nowhere, accompanied by the distinct sound of a blade slicing through the air.

Swish!

In the blink of an eye, the cold light was already inches away from Feng Liu’s chest!

“Young Master, watch out!” an elderly man beside Feng Liu shouted, sensing the danger.

But it was too late for defensive measures.

With no other option, the elder took the most direct approach-he threw himself forward, shoving Feng Liu out of harm’s way!

Bang!

The collision sent Feng Liu flying like a rag doll, crashing into the ground.

Slash!

At the same moment, the chilling sound of a blade piercing flesh echoed through the street.

Gu Ran’s long sword had impaled the elderly man’s shoulder, its bloodied tip emerging menacingly from his back.

A surge of Origin Power erupted from the blade, utterly destroying the man’s shoulder in a grisly display.

A Half-step Inquiring Journey realm expert!

Gu Ran’s expression shifted as his figure was revealed.

He immediately tried to pull his sword free and retreat into the shadows.

But Feng Liu’s remaining entourage was already on the move, responding with a flurry of wide-ranging attacks.

These cultivators were all at the Heavenly Origin realm.

While Gu Ran could dispatch any one of them instantly, the combined force of their attacks wasn’t something he could ignore.
