Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 269

Chapter 269: Prey Stolen Again Chapter 269: Prey Stolen Again “Hahaha!” Gu Ran laughed loudly.

“Now it’s my turn!” “I can finally fight without holding back.

Let’s see who dares to stop me with the strength I have now!” Feeling excited, he jumped to his feet and rushed onto the battlefield.

But just then, a loud, earth-shaking sound echoed.

Boom!

A black orb fell from the sky and hit the protective barrier of You Clan City with a powerful impact, causing a huge explosion!

The energy from the explosion was so strong that the entire Three Mountains Island shook.

Many weaker cultivators lost their balance and stumbled as the shockwave hit them.

Crack!

Crack!

The barrier around the city began to break, making loud cracking sounds.

Cracks appeared one after another, spreading quickly like a spiderweb until they covered the entire barrier.

“A Dao Comprehension-level attack!” You Haiyan shouted, his voice full of shock.

“This is a one-time-use treasure of the Dao Comprehension rank!” He clenched his fists, thinking, Damn it!

The Heavenly Gu Society really has stronger experts.

They even brought out a treasure this powerful!

He stared in fear at the barrier above, now full of cracks.

His heart raced, and his eyes narrowed sharply.

On the battlefield, the You Clan cultivators were gripped by terror.

“What’s happening?!” one of them shouted, panicking.

“Someone powerful is attacking the barrier!” “This is terrible!

The reinforcements must be from the Heavenly Gu Society!

What should we do?!” While they were distracted, the hidden death warriors took the chance to strike, killing them swiftly.

“What the…?!” Gu Ran, who had been getting ready for a sneak attack, suddenly stopped.

His eyes widened as he looked at the barrier above.

There are still people from the Heavenly Gu Society here?

And they even used a Dao Comprehension-level attack, breaking the You Clan City’s barrier with just one strike!

What kind of cultivation level does the Heavenly Gu Society expert outside the city have?

he wondered, his eyes narrowing in worry.

Suddenly, a thunderous crash echoed as the barrier that had protected You Clan City for countless years shattered completely.

Figures dressed in black appeared right away, stepping through the glowing fragments of the broken barrier and charging onto the battlefield.

Caught off guard, several You Clan cultivators were killed instantly.

Bodies dropped to the ground one after another, blood flowing like a river.

“No, not again!” Gu Ran, on the verge of losing his mind, shouted angrily.

“They’ve stolen my targets!” “Damn it!” He could only watch as the people he wanted to kill were taken down one by one.

The cultivation energy he could have gained was disappearing into the air, making him feel like he might explode with rage.

He had just reached the Inquiring Journey realm.

Finally, he had the chance to cause chaos and quickly grow stronger, building up his power like a rolling snowball.

But now, all the ‘snow’ he wanted to gather had been taken from him!

Unable to hold back any longer, Gu Ran muttered to himself, a mix of anger and frustration in his voice, “This can’t go on!

I won’t let this continue!” If my preys keep getting stolen, how will I ever reach the Dao Palace realm and take revenge on the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect?

These Heavenly Gu Society people are no allies-they’re as good as enemies.

A surprise attack is the only way!

And along the way, I can clear my name.

If I don’t, being known as the Heavenly Gu Society’s young master will only cause trouble.

Filled with fury, Gu Ran prepared for a sudden, indiscriminate attack.

But before he could act, a cold, menacing voice echoed across the battlefield: “You Haiyan!” “How dare you plan to trap and kill our Heavenly Gu Society’s young master?

You’re asking for death!” A tall, lean figure appeared in the sky-it was Liu Xiong.

With a thunderous roar, his Late-stage Inquiring Journey realm aura burst out, completely overwhelming You Haiyan’s presence as both men claimed their places in the sky.

“Late-stage Inquiring Journey realm,” You Haiyan muttered, his face dark and bitter, as if he had swallowed something unpleasant.

“Heavenly Gu Society, I don’t know who you truly are, but don’t think the You Clan has no powerful backers.” “Hahaha!” Liu Xiong laughed mockingly.

“Backers?

How ridiculous!

“We bow to no one,” he said with a look of scorn toward You Haiyan.

“Hmph!

Arrogant fool!” You Haiyan’s face darkened further with anger, but he didn’t dare make the first move.

He couldn’t afford to act rashly-he still needed to watch the Gan and Cai Clans!

While the Heavenly Gu Society fought the You Clan, how could the Gan and Cai Clans resist such a perfect chance to act as the third party and take all the benefits for themselves?

At this moment, high-ranking cultivators from the Gan and Cai Clans were already hiding nearby, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Jiang Chen, with his sharp divine sense, saw everything clearly.

You Haiyan had figured out most of what was happening.

However, Jiang Chen wanted to speed things up and force the Gan and Cai Clans to act earlier than planned.

To do this, he gave Liu Xiong a direct order to attack.

Liu Xiong’s aura flared as he stepped forward, his gaze sharp and filled with killing intent.

“Surrender now, You Haiyan, and I’ll grant you a quick death!” he shouted coldly before charging without hesitation.

“You scum!” You Haiyan spat, his anger boiling over.

With no other choice, he retaliated fiercely.

“Do you think I’m afraid of you?

Let’s see who kills who!” Rumble!

Rumble!

The two high-level cultivators, both in the Late-stage Inquiring Journey realm, clashed in the air.

Their battle intensified as they rose higher and higher, ensuring they wouldn’t harm their allies on the ground.

Meanwhile, Gu Ran froze in his tracks once more.

His expression stiffened, and for a moment, hesitation flickered in his eyes.

A Late-stage Inquiring Journey realm cultivator!

If he acted rashly and killed someone from the Heavenly Gu Society, he would instantly become their enemy, turning himself into a target for everyone.

Could he hold off the combined attacks of two Late-stage Inquiring Journey realm cultivators, break through to the Middle-stage Inquiring Journey realm, and then fight back?

Maybe, but the chances were slim.

Caught between two powerful Late-stage Inquiring Journey realm experts, with their wide-range attacks dominating the battlefield, finding openings to surprise other cultivators and turn the tide would be nearly impossible.

Forget it, Gu Ran thought, calming himself.

It’s better to stick to the original plan.

Let the Heavenly Gu Society and the You Clan weaken each other.

That’ll make things easier for me.

Once I’ve grown stronger, I’ll deal with all of you, he decided, giving up on his idea of attacking the Heavenly Gu Society and turning his focus back to the You Clan cultivators.

At first, the You Clan had the upper hand against the Heavenly Gu Society, but now the fight had evened out.

Both sides kept losing people, keeping their numbers close to equal.

Most of the fallen You Clan cultivators were in the Heavenly Origin realm.

I’ve reached the Inquiring Journey realm now, Gu Ran thought, analyzing his next move.

Taking more cultivation base from Heavenly Origin realm cultivators won’t help me much anymore.

My real targets now are Inquiring Journey realm cultivators, he decided, narrowing his eyes as he carefully concealed his presence and moved forward.

His target was an Early-stage Inquiring Journey cultivator from the You Clan.

“Oh?

So that’s your target?” Jiang Chen’s lips curled into a cold smirk.

Using his Villain Eye to track fluctuations in supporting characters’ Fate Value, Jiang Chen easily located the Inquiring Journey cultivator Gu Ran was aiming for.

He had been waiting for this.

“Liu Xiong, it’s your turn.

The target…” Jiang Chen silently relayed the order to Liu Xiong through his divine sense while also commanding the death warrior fighting Gu Ran’s chosen target.
