Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 266

Chapter 266: Chaos in the Streets Chapter 266: Chaos in the Streets Outside You Caigao’s residence, Feng Liu clenched his teeth, his face twisted with hatred.

Gu Ran!

The You Clan completely overshadows my Feng Clan!

You barely survived your fight with us.

Against the You Clan, you don’t stand a chance!

I can’t wait to see the despair on your face when you realize it!

His fists tightened, his nails digging into the still unhealed wounds on his palms.

Just then, a voice rang out behind him, full of arrogance and ease.

“Feng Liu!

This young master has already located our target!

We work fast, don’t we?” A tall figure appeared behind him.

The young man was slightly stout, with pale skin and an air of wealth and leisure.

His aura marked him as a cultivator at the Late-stage Heavenly Origin realm-a prodigy for his age.

“Of course, it’s quick!” Feng Liu immediately forced a smile and replied in a flattering tone, “With Young Master You leading us, how could it be anything else?” But inwardly, he sneered.

Obviously, Gu Ran didn’t bother to hide himself.

Otherwise, how could someone like you, You Caigao, find him so easily?

“Exactly!” You Caigao’s face lit up with confidence.

“Most of Three Mountains Island is under my control.

When I give an order, no one dares to defy me!” “Let’s go capture Gu Ran now!” With a dramatic wave of his hand, a group of shadowy cultivators suddenly surged forward from behind him.

Whoosh!

One by one, the cultivators melted into the crowd, swiftly heading toward Gu Ran’s location.

“You’re too obvious to join the hunt.

Just stay put,” You Caigao said dismissively, throwing a disdainful look at Feng Liu before disappearing around the corner in a blur.

“Hmph!” A cold glint flashed in Feng Liu’s eyes as he muttered, “Underestimating Gu Ran might just be your downfall, You Caigao.” “Maybe he’ll even destroy you!” “And if that happens, all the better.

Those who look down on me deserve nothing less than death!” With that, Feng Liu turned and walked back into You Caigao’s mansion.

Inside, a group of beautiful women quickly gathered around him.

…

On the busiest street of You Clan City on Three Mountains Island, Gu Ran wandered, keeping a low profile.

Using his divine sense, he discreetly eavesdropped on nearby conversations between cultivators, searching for any useful information.

After several inquiries, he had narrowed down his target location significantly.  A few more questions, he thought, and I’ll be ready to move.

Suddenly, his expression shifted.

A sharp sense of alertness awakened within him.

What’s this?

Is someone tailing me?

Could it be Feng Liu from the Feng Clan?

His divine sense quickly picked up on their presence.

They’re closing in-one, two… quite the formidable group!

But instead of fear, a grin crept onto Gu Ran’s face.

I never start trouble, but if it comes knocking, I won’t back down!

His eyes narrowed briefly, a flicker of icy light flashing and disappearing just as quickly.

Almost instinctively, he slowed his pace, his Origin Power quietly circulating through his body, ready for combat.

Time seemed to stretch as the bustling street continued its usual activity, the crowd oblivious to the brewing storm.

Then, at the perfect moment, three Heavenly Origin realm cultivators near Gu Ran sprang into action.

Without warning, three dazzling streaks of blade light slashed through the air, hurtling straight toward him!

“I’ve been waiting for you!” Gu Ran sneered.

With a flick of his wrist, a streak of sword light burst forth, meeting the attackers head-on.

Clang!

The clash of metal echoed down the street, reverberating through the air.

Waves of residual energy rippled outward, shaking the area and causing unease among the bystanders.

“Oh no, a fight’s broken out!

Let’s get out of here!” someone shouted in panic.

“It’s You Caigao’s men from the You Clan!” “Move it!

Don’t get caught in this!” “Run!

You Caigao doesn’t care about bystanders when he goes on a rampage!” Cries of terror erupted as the surrounding cultivators scrambled to get away, desperate to avoid becoming collateral damage.

Against the flow of the panicked crowd, several fierce-looking cultivators pushed forward, their eyes cold as they rushed toward Gu Ran.

What perfect prey, Gu Ran thought, a sinister smile forming in his heart.

After fending off the three Heavenly Origin realm cultivators, Gu Ran swiftly changed his location, activating his invisibility.

“Where did he go?” one of the cultivators muttered, his voice filled with disbelief.

“How did he just vanish?” “Stay alert!

The Young Master warned us-this guy has mysterious concealment techniques!”  “Group up in threes and stay sharp!” another barked.

You Caigao’s men exchanged wary glances, each of them on high alert.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the street, another group of cultivators formed a wide circle, each holding a jade mirror in their hands.  The jade mirrors emitted beams of light that created a glowing hemispherical barrier.

Though it wasn’t meant for defense, the barrier functioned as an alarm-if anyone passed through the light screen, they would be immediately detected.

This precaution had been set up specifically by You Caigao to deal with Gu Ran.

But Gu Ran had no intention of retreating.

You will all become the stepping stones to my power!

His eyes burned with murderous intent as he prepared to launch a deadly attack.

Suddenly, a terrified scream broke the tense silence.

“Ahhh!” someone cried out in panic.

“Over here!

Help!” “I don’t want to die!” Shrieks of terror filled the air as one by one, You Caigao’s men fell victim to an unseen blade.

Their faces twisted in agony as they collapsed, helpless against the shadowy executioner.

“What…

what’s going on?” Gu Ran muttered, staring at the cultivators who were suddenly killed.

His face was etched with confusion.

I haven’t even made a move yet!

How did they die?

Just then, several men dressed in black with stern, unyielding expressions appeared out of nowhere.

Who are these people?

Gu Ran thought, his face showing surprise.

Could they be enemies of the You Clan?

A faint sense of danger radiated from these black-clad figures, putting him on high alert.

What Gu Ran didn’t realize was that these men were Jiang Chen’s newly summoned death warriors.  In fact, they were the assassins brought in by a Dao Palace realm expert from the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect just half a day earlier!

This was part of Jiang Chen’s plan to prevent Gu Ran from growing stronger through combat and to keep things under his control.

At that moment, Gu Ran’s potential victims-You Caigao’s men-were being slaughtered one after another by Jiang Chen’s death warriors.

Gu Ran quickly understood that these black-clad men weren’t on his side.

His natural wariness kicked in, and he began to suspect that they might even be his enemies.

Unbeknownst to You Caigao and his men, however, they believed the opposite-that these warriors were Gu Ran’s reinforcements.

“What’s going on here?” one of the You Clan cultivators exclaimed in disbelief.

“Does Gu Ran really have so many accomplices?” “Everyone, stay on guard!

Call for reinforcements immediately!” The You Clan’s men shouted in alarm, their eyes darting nervously as they tried to assess the situation.

But the massacre continued unabated.

One after another, cultivators from the You Clan fell to the relentless assault of Jiang Chen’s death warriors.

Of course, not all the death warriors emerged victorious.

Many were overpowered by the You Clan’s cultivators and killed on the spot.

Yet, these death warriors met their end with an eerie calm.

In truth, many of them were already “dead” in a sense.

The only reason they were alive and had become death warriors was due to a powerful obsession or unfulfilled desire in their hearts-one that the Purple Heaven Holy Land had promised to fulfill.

Some of them, however, had no obsession at all.

These were individuals with limited time left to live, who had chosen to exchange their lives in battle for generous rewards to secure a future for their loved ones.

Because of this, death didn’t frighten these warriors.

Instead, they faced it with serenity, almost as if welcoming it.

Jiang Chen, in turn, felt no guilt or remorse for their sacrifice.

The battle continued to rage.

The conflict spilled onto other streets, leaving bodies scattered across the thoroughfares.

The chaos was impossible to ignore.

“Damn it!

Feng Liu, that little rat, swore Gu Ran was alone.

Is this what he calls alone?!”  You Caigao glared at the carnage before him, his heart burning with fury as the scene spiraled further out of control.
