Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 274

Chapter 274: Pushed to the Brink Chapter 274: Pushed to the Brink On the battlefield, countless cultivators fought fiercely.

The sounds of clashing weapons echoed nonstop, and the land was torn apart again and again.

One by one, cultivators fell in the brutal fight, their blood soaking the ground.

The four factions’ numbers were shrinking fast.

Jiang Chen’s squad of death warriors fought without fear, showing incredible determination.

The You Clan, though surrounded, still managed to keep their spirits and fight effectively.

But among the cultivators of the Gan and Cai Clans, fear was spreading like poison.

When will this battle end?

Everyone I know has been killed!

one cultivator thought in despair.

Why hasn’t our ancestor defeated You Haiyin yet?

How much longer can we endure this?

If this keeps up, we’ll all be wiped out!

another wondered.

I can’t take it anymore.

Staying here is just asking to die!

someone else cried inwardly.

The Gan and Cai Clans were losing hope.

Fear and anxiety gripped their hearts, and the shadow of death grew heavier.

At first, they had believed they could take advantage of the chaos, much like the fisherman who catches both the snipe and the clam while they are locked in a struggle.

But reality was far crueler than they imagined.

Too many had died, and the survivors were reaching their limit.

The difference in strength was too much.

Fear of death spread through their ranks, and more and more cultivators began to think about running away.

Those with weaker resolve couldn’t take the pressure anymore.

Terrified of dying, they started retreating!

“I can’t do this anymore!

I can’t fight!” one shouted.

“Retreat!

Retreat now!

Most of us are already dead.

Once our ancestor defeats You Haiyin and that other cultivator, they’ll finish the enemy in one move!” “We’re the younger generation of the clan with so much potential.

It’s better to live and fight another day.

Retreat!” He quickly turned and fled, triggering others to do the same, like water bursting through a broken dam.

Fear spread like wildfire, and many cultivators from the Gan and Cai Clans began running away.

This is a complete mess, just like a landslide, Jiang Chen observed calmly, watching the chaos unfold.

Meanwhile, the You Clan cultivators cheered loudly when they saw their enemies retreating.  “They’re running away!”  “Hahaha!

The Gan and Cai Clans are retreating!

This is amazing!”  “We’re winning!

I’m still alive and fighting!” someone shouted with excitement.

But Jiang Chen frowned slightly, thinking, This is not the reaction I want.

Using his divine sense, he gave commands to his death warriors.  Immediately, new voices shouted from different parts of the battlefield:  “The Gan and Cai Clans are scared and running away!” “Stay sharp!

Let’s chase them down and destroy them completely!” “This is our chance!

Attack their homes, take everything, and leave nothing behind!” “Don’t let them recover!

If we don’t wipe them out now, they’ll come back to destroy us later!” “Attack!

Attack!

Attack!

Show them no mercy!” Jiang Chen’s death warriors were the first to leap into battle again, showing no hesitation.

Hearing the shouts to attack, many You Clan cultivators felt inspired.

They saw the logic in the calls and quickly followed the black-robed death warriors, striking the Gan and Cai Clans from behind.

In no time, the You Clan began gaining a clear advantage.

Feeling victory close, the You Clan cultivators grew more confident and fought with renewed ferocity, attacking the Gan and Cai Clans like unstoppable madmen.

“Damn it!” Gan Ruifeng, hovering above the battlefield, watched his cultivators flee in panic.

His face turned green with rage.

“These useless cowards!

How dare they run while I’m still fighting!” Cai Xueqing felt the same anger.

His expression was as sour as if he had swallowed something disgusting.

Unable to hold back, Gan Ruifeng roared, “Anyone who runs without permission will die!” To prove his point, he fired several weaker attacks from his Inquiring Journey realm powers, killing the lead deserters among his own cultivators.

The Gan Clan’s fighters froze in terror.

Their faces turned pale as they realized they had no choice but to turn back and fight.

Seeing this, the Cai Clan cultivators also stopped their retreat, afraid to continue running.

One by one, they turned around and rejoined the battle.

The battlefield once again became chaotic, with the fighting growing even more intense and brutal.  …

In a quiet corner of the battlefield, Gu Ran found himself targeted by a mysterious powerhouse from the Heavenly Gu Society.

The more his potential to grow and fight was suppressed, the more anxious he became.

For a moment, he stood still, thinking carefully about what to do next.

Then, a strong determination filled his heart.

I have the Endless Dark Blood Moon Bloodline, he thought firmly.

This powerful bloodline can help me reach the Fourth Step of the Cultivation Path!

A Dao Palace realm expert may be too strong for me now, but soon I’ll have the strength to destroy him!

You may suppress me now, but I swear I’ll pay you back a hundred times over!

A sharp, cold light appeared in Gu Ran’s eyes.

With his focus renewed, he decided, I’ll try again.

If every target I choose is killed before I reach them, then I’ll abandon all caution and fight with everything I have!

Let’s see how long you can keep up this game!

His icy resolve burned inside him as he made his plan.

If his Endless Dark Blood Moon Bloodline remained restrained, his greatest advantage would be completely lost.

To Gu Ran, this was as unbearable as being paralyzed.

Taking a deep breath, he locked onto a cultivator in the Inquiring Journey realm and moved forward, carefully staying hidden.

But just as he struck, a group of Heavenly Gu Society cultivators appeared and killed his target before he could.

“Damn it!” Gu Ran clenched his fists, anger blazing in his chest.

He was on the edge of losing control.

Without wasting time, he aimed for another cultivator, this one at the Heavenly Origin realm but temporarily fighting at the level of the Inquiring Journey realm.

Gu Ran rushed forward to take him down.

But the same thing happened again.

His target was killed by the Heavenly Gu Society before he could act.

Argh!

Despicable!

Absolutely despicable!

Gu Ran’s fury boiled inside him.

He wanted nothing more than to destroy every Heavenly Gu Society cultivator who interfered with him.

Yet, he forced himself to stay calm and prepared to try again.

This time, he chose a cultivator in the Early-stage Heavenly Origin realm.

…

High above the chaotic battlefield, Jiang Chen watched everything unfold and thought to himself, If this goes on, Gu Ran will lose his patience and start attacking recklessly.

When that happens, he’ll turn against my fake Heavenly Gu Society and see it as his enemy.

If he does, it’ll be hard to approach him again.

He’ll likely see anyone he doesn’t recognize as a serious threat and try to kill them immediately.

In such a hopeless situation, he’ll fight to the death against anyone I send.

Under Heavenly Fate’s influence, my people might end up being sacrificed for nothing.

It seems like I need to let him have some success now.

With that decision in mind, Jiang Chen chose not to interfere with Gu Ran’s next move.
