Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 275

Chapter 275: The Final Push on Three Mountains Island Chapter 275: The Final Push on Three Mountains Island It happened quickly.

With one swift, precise strike, Gu Ran’s longsword sliced across the neck of an Early-stage Heavenly Origin realm cultivator, ending his life instantly.

Gu Ran’s eyes widened slightly as he realized, I did it!

No one stopped me!

He could feel the surge of cultivation power from the defeated cultivator flowing into his own body.

A wave of joy rushed through him, but he didn’t hesitate.

He locked onto another Early-stage Heavenly Origin realm cultivator and launched another fierce attack, successfully killing them too.

They’re letting me fight Heavenly Origin realm cultivators without interference!

he thought excitedly.

This is valuable.

Each one I kill only gives me a small boost, but it all adds up!

Still, Gu Ran knew this strategy wouldn’t work forever.

He needed to figure out a way to eliminate them entirely.  At this point, he thought, it’s obvious they’re after my Endless Dark Blood Moon Bloodline.

Their methods are just like the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect’s-pretending to be allies to gain my trust.

They’re afraid that my rapid growth in power will ruin their plans to extract my bloodline’s strength.

That’s why they’re trying every way possible to hold me back.

Ha!

Too bad for them-I’ve already seen through their tricks!

While Gu Ran continued to fight the remaining cultivators, his mind worked nonstop, plotting his next steps.

However, he failed to see the bigger picture.

What Gu Ran didn’t realize was that Jiang Chen’s only goal was to kill him.

The situation had become much more complicated because Gu Ran was protected by the biased will of Heavenly Fate.

As Jiang Chen watched Gu Ran’s unstoppable rampage, a slight frown appeared on his face.

We need to speed things up, he thought.  I can’t let Gu Ran eliminate too many Heavenly Origin realm cultivators.

Wasting no time, Jiang Chen gave orders for all the death warriors to fight with everything they had and instructed Liu Xiong to pretend his power was increasing.

“Seven Meridians Shattering Art!” “Spirit Ignition Forbidden Art!” “…” Desperate cries erupted from the death warriors as they unleashed their life-risking, secret arts, boosting their strength to incredible levels.  Caught off guard, their enemies quickly found themselves overwhelmed.

In mere moments, they were bleeding heavily, their vital energy drained and their will to fight crushed.

In the sky above, You Haiyin was barely holding on.

He staggered mid-air, struggling to maintain his balance as his strength faded.  Spotting his chance, Gan Ruifeng struck with ruthless precision, shouting, “Die already!

Earth Shattering Heavenly Blade!” Slash!  With no power left to defend himself, You Haiyin’s face contorted in pain.

His eyes widened in shock as he realized, too late, that his body had been cut in two.

“Damn it, You Haiyin!

You useless fool!” Liu Xiong shouted, his eyes wide like copper bells, pretending he couldn’t step in to help.  This, too, was all part of Jiang Chen’s carefully laid plan.

Gan Ruifeng roared with laughter, “Hahaha!

That wretched You Haiyin is finally dead!” Cai Xueqing joined in, his voice jubilant.

“With You Haiyin gone, the once-mighty You Clan of Three Mountains Island is completely wiped out!” Both of them were overjoyed by You Haiyin’s downfall.

Their attention quickly shifted to Liu Xiong, the black-clad cultivator standing coldly before them.

Cai Xueqing narrowed his eyes and said, “If you leave now, we’ll let this go.

We won’t pursue any grudges.” Gan Ruifeng, his expression equally stern, added, “Exactly!

But if you stay, don’t blame us for what happens next.” Liu Xiong smirked, unfazed.

“Do you really think just the two of you can take me down?” Gan Ruifeng sneered back.

“If you’re so eager to die, don’t regret it later!” He exchanged a quick glance with Cai Xueqing, and the two charged at Liu Xiong in unison.

Confident in their teamwork and numbers, they believed victory was within reach.

They were sure that eliminating this mysterious black-clad man would be an easy task.

But just as they attacked, Liu Xiong’s voice rang out, “Perfect timing!

Violent Blood Rupturing Veins Art!” Pretending to activate a powerful self-destructive technique, Liu Xiong temporarily boosted his strength to the level of a Half-step Dao Comprehension realm expert.

Gan Ruifeng’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“What?!

How is this possible?

How can you still fight at the Half-step Dao Comprehension level when you’re so badly injured?” Cai Xueqing shouted in panic, “This is bad!

Retreat!

Retreat!” Without hesitation, both turned and scrambled to escape, desperate to save their lives.

“Where do you think you’re going, you cowards?” Liu Xiong roared, his voice filled with fury.

“You came for my life, didn’t you?

Don’t even dream of running away!” He charged after them with overwhelming force.

For someone with the strength of the Dao Comprehension realm, defeating Gan Ruifeng and Cai Xueqing would have been effortless.

However, Liu Xiong followed Jiang Chen’s instructions closely: a convincing act required careful restraint.

Instead of finishing them off immediately, Liu Xiong deliberately held back, allowing the two to struggle and flee, making the battle seem more realistic.

Meanwhile, chaos erupted on the battlefield below.

The cultivators from the Gan and Cai Clans stood frozen, utterly confused.

What was happening?

Were their own revered ancestors fleeing?  Hadn’t these very ancestors sworn to punish any deserters?

So why were they now retreating themselves?

Their confusion didn’t last long.

Realizing the dire situation, the remaining Gan and Cai Clan cultivators quickly turned and fled as well, abandoning the fight entirely.

The united forces of the Gan and Cai Clans completely collapsed, their members scattering in all directions like a chaotic mudslide.  As the scene unfolded, triumphant shouts rang out across the battlefield.

“Kill, kill, kill!” “Victory is ours!” “Wipe out those Gan and Cai Clan scoundrels!

Three Mountains Island belongs to the You Clan alone!” Some of these cheers came from the You Clan’s descendants, brimming with newfound confidence.

Others came from Jiang Chen’s death warriors, who cleverly stirred the crowd to incite even more chaos.

High above in the distant sky, Jiang Chen observed the dramatic events below, idly stroking his chin as he pondered.

Is this it?

Have the Gan and Cai Clans really been defeated so easily?

Where is Wu Qian?

Shouldn’t one of the three clans have called on him by now?

Without him, how will the original plot take shape?

Could it be that Wu Qian is supposed to show up only after everything is over?

That would be such an anticlimactic twist.

The stage seems perfect for a major plot twist right now!

Based on his understanding of the original flow of events, Jiang Chen believed Wu Qian was destined to appear on Three Mountains Island soon-assuming nothing interfered with the plot.  If his guesses were right, Wu Qian’s arrival would likely back Gu Ran into a corner.

In the original storyline, Wu Qian had first met Gu Ran during a maritime hunting expedition.

The encounter left Wu Qian impressed, sparking a favorable connection between them.

Gu Ran, in turn, would go on a rampage across Three Mountains Island, battling the three major clans one after another.

Each fight would make him stronger, while the Yu, Gan, and Cai Clans struggled in vain to stop him.

Eventually, either Cai Xueqing or Gan Ruifeng, desperate to turn the tide, would summon Wu Qian, hoping for a comeback.

But by then, an unforeseen twist would have already connected Wu Qian and Gu Ran, leaving them on good terms.  Wu Qian, compelled by various reasons, would side with Gu Ran.

This unexpected alliance would leave the Gan and Cai Clans dumbfounded, realizing too late that they had strengthened their enemy.  From there, Gu Ran would unleash an overwhelming display of power, annihilating the core members of the Gan and Cai Clans.

Only a few insignificant survivors would remain, none of whom posed any threat to him.

But now, things had shifted.

Jiang Chen’s interference had altered some of the storyline, though its general trajectory remained intact.

Wu Qian’s appearance was still inevitable.

While his connection with Gu Ran might differ slightly due to these changes, factors like Heavenly Fate would still push him to ally with Gu Ran, helping him achieve another significant victory.

To Jiang Chen, this outcome was unacceptable.

Determined to prevent it, Jiang Chen set his plan into motion.

He soared toward the location where he calculated Wu Qian would appear, based on their earlier encounter and Wu Qian’s likely route.  His goal was clear: find Wu Qian and intercept him before fate could play its hand.
