Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Jiang Chen’s True Power Revealed Chapter 53: Jiang Chen’s True Power Revealed “What a lunatic!

Just drop dead!” Zhou Ruiyu spat out, his eyes blazing with hatred and contempt.

Seizing the chance during Lin Feng’s momentary distraction, he quickly attacked him from behind.

“Roaring Thunder Great Sword!” Zhou Ruiyu bellowed, as his hands came together, creating a spectacle of countless white lightning flashes that intertwined and formed a thunderous broadsword.

An overwhelming pressure burst forth, causing every living creature within a five-kilometer radius to quiver in fear.

Feeling the intense life-or-death situation bearing down on him, Lin Feng was frozen in fear.

Then, throwing caution to the wind, he unleashed the full might of the already unstable Burning World Red Lotus.

“No way!

You’re the one who’s going to bite the dust!” Lin Feng shouted in defiance.

Inside his Dantian, numerous cracks rapidly appeared on the Burning World Red Lotus.

Its level dropped sharply from the Inquiring Journey realm to the Mysterious Platform realm, and continued to weaken.

Yet, a massively powerful force also surged within Lin Feng’s body.

With an earth-shattering “Boom!” an orange-hued mini mushroom cloud burst forth, and the intense Burning World Raging Flames swept over everything, instantly overtaking Zhou Ruiyu.

“Aargh!” Zhou Ruiyu let out a blood-curdling scream, crying out in disbelief, “How can this be happening, how can this be happening!” as his body turned into a human torch, desperately making a beeline for the river.

However, the moment he hit the water, that part of the river just evaporated!

From a distance, Jiang Xingtai watched Zhou Ruiyu’s sorry state on the battlefield and couldn’t help but shiver, exhaling a relieved, “Whew!” ‘Lin Feng’s secret weapon is insanely powerful.

Man, I’m glad I listened to my nephew’s advice and stayed back instead of joining Zhou Ruiyu in the fight!’ he thought to himself, feeling lucky for his prudence.

At that moment, Lin Feng roared towards the sky, “Be gone!” His body turned into a blend of black and red, covered in numerous cracks, resembling a shattered porcelain doll.

Another wave of the fearsome Burning World Raging Flames erupted, transforming into a fiery inferno that bore down upon Zhou Ruiyu.

Despite his severe injuries, Zhou Ruiyu was an experienced fighter and quickly mounted a counterattack, yelling, “Thunder Great Shield!” In an instant, a flurry of lightning bolts shot out from his body, forming a dense, net-like barrier.

The flames and lightning clashed with a thunderous “Boom!” creating a massive shockwave.

Sizzle!

Sizzle!

Zhou Ruiyu’s Thunder Great Shield gradually disintegrated, and his face suddenly changed dramatically.

Showing a flash of terror, he shouted, “Brother Jiang, save me!” Jiang Xingtai knew he couldn’t just watch from the sidelines; he quickly raised his hand and swung it down, declaring with resolve, “Mountain Breaking Sword Edge!” A Spiritual Awakening-level longsword materialized in his hand.

As he wielded it, a massive surge of sword qi burst forth, aiming directly at Lin Feng’s head.

This technique was the zenith of the Jiang Clan’s combat skills.

It could only be used once in a short span of time.

“Aargh, fend it off for me!” Lin Feng roared in anger, and a deluge of flames exploded out, surrounding him and blocking the formidable sword qi descending upon him.

Poof!

Poof!

The flames danced like serpents, and the towering sword qi was shattered along its path, ultimately dissipating into a puff of ash just inches away from Lin Feng’s face.

“No way!” Zhou Ruiyu gasped in shock, his face instantly showing utter despair as he saw Jiang Xingtai’s attack get foiled by Lin Feng.

His Thunder Great Shield, at this critical moment, just couldn’t hold up anymore and vanished into nothingness.

A paralyzing fear of death completely took over Zhou Ruiyu, causing a rush of life memories to flash before his eyes, from his earliest days to his growth…

But before he could get lost in these reflections, the sounds of “Poof!

Poof!

Poof!” snapped him back to reality as water and fire started to cancel each other out.

A chilling force then swept away the scorching heat, and the fierce fire serpent missed hitting his body.

‘Is someone saving me!?’ Zhou Ruiyu thought to himself, at first stunned, then quickly filled with a surge of joy.

“Patriarch Zhou, move it!” A familiar voice echoed in Zhou Ruiyu’s ears.

It was Jiang Chen.

In a flash, he materialized beside Zhou Ruiyu, radiating an immense amount of cold qi, generating waves of icy energy that swirled through the air like a whirlwind, continuously blocking the Burning World Raging Flames.

This was the Cold Sky Frost Brilliance Art, a cultivation method he had acquired from the System Mall, specifically chosen to counter fire-based assaults.

Of course, the Cold Sky Frost Brilliance Art couldn’t match the intensity of the Burning World Raging Flames.

Consequently, Jiang Chen’s cold qi quickly got overwhelmed within Lin Feng’s Burning World Raging Flames.

Still, Jiang Chen’s intention was just to create a window for Zhou Ruiyu to make a quick escape.

With the sudden burst of cold qi momentarily holding back the Burning World Raging Flames, Zhou Ruiyu got a much-needed breather.

“Jiang Chen, you just saved my life.

I owe you big time for this,” he expressed gratefully while quickly falling back.

Jiang Chen continued to counter Lin Feng’s Burning World Raging Flames with his cold qi, simultaneously shouting to Jiang Xingtai, “Uncle, look after Patriarch Zhou first!” Jiang Xingtai, recognizing Zhou Ruiyu’s critical condition and suspecting that Jiang Chen might have a hidden agenda, promptly replied, “Got it, I’ll be back soon!” Without wasting a moment, he helped the badly injured Zhou Ruiyu retreat from the battleground.

“Aagh!” Lin Feng roared, his eyes bloodshot, “How can this be!” “Jiang Chen, how are you able to withstand my Burning World Raging Flames!?” he demanded, fueling even more intense Burning World Raging Flames throughout his body.

Yet, even with this effort, he couldn’t immediately overpower Jiang Chen.

Moreover, he found the situation utterly perplexing, considering Jiang Chen was only a Spiritual Awakening realm cultivator.

“Hahaha!” Jiang Chen laughed heartily, taunting, “Did you really think the Spiritual Awakening realm was my true cultivation level?” “Did you really believe you were the only one hiding your true strength?

Watch this!” he declared confidently, before deliberately lifting the Moondust Ring’s ability to conceal his real cultivation base.

Suddenly, a powerful aura of the Mysterious Platform realm burst forth from his body.

Jiang Chen had used the Ten-Turn Harmonious Spirit Pill and the top-grade Spiritual Awakening-level pill, the Clearing Mind Awakening Spirit Pill, to break through to the Mysterious Platform realm.

Consequently, his aura now outshone even Jiang Xingtai and Zhou Ruiyu’s!

In that moment, Jiang Chen’s true realm was revealed, leaving Lin Feng completely shocked.

Stunned, Lin Feng stared at Jiang Chen, his eyes narrowing, and exclaimed, “You, you’re a Mysterious Platform realm cultivator!

You’ve been hiding your real power all along!” “At the Vast Spirit House, when you fought against five Spiritual Awakening realm cultivators, it must have been easy for you, but you pretended to be seriously hurt.

It was all a performance!” he accused in disbelief.

“You deceitful jerk, you conniving fraud!

You’ve fooled everyone!” Lin Feng shouted, filled with an immense sense of betrayal and anger.

The flood of emotions made his whole body shake, and he even briefly forgot to continue his attack.

“Hahaha!” Jiang Chen laughed once more, proclaiming, “Exactly, it was all an act!” “From the start, I was just faking it with you.

It might have looked like I wanted to recruit you, but my real goal was to take you down,” he revealed, his smile morphing into a cold sneer.

He didn’t say these things because he’d been holding them back and needed to let them out.

Instead, his aim was to buy a bit more time with Lin Feng.

Prolonged power-up style battles weren’t sustainable.

The longer the fight dragged on, the more it would work against Lin Feng.

“You want to kill me?!” Lin Feng barked, “I knew you had ulterior motives.” “But with your power, you could’ve killed me way before I came down from the Starry Abyss Heavenly Peak.

Why didn’t you?” “Could it be…

you’re just playing with me, using me for your own amusement!?” As these thoughts crossed his mind, fury erupted in Lin Feng’s heart like a volcano.

He was overwhelmed with anger, almost exploding with rage right there and then.
