Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Ye Fan’s Plan Thwarted Chapter 76: Ye Fan’s Plan Thwarted Seeing the three-headed monster slowing down significantly, Jiang Chen’s lips curled into a slight smile.

‘It looks like the real show is just getting started,’ he mused, filled with a sense of expectation.

Accordingly, he also reduced his speed, all the while his divine sense kept a close watch on Ye Fan and Li Teng.

He noticed that they were slowing down too, with one closely tailing the other.

Right then, the three-headed monster let out painful roars and started to fall apart.

Its muscular flesh visibly decayed, melting away like dark red wax candles and dripping onto the ground.

Quickly, the massive beast was nothing more than a pile of rotting flesh.

Yet, the blood-red creatures making up the three-headed monster weren’t dead.

They writhed and fought within the decaying mass, slowly standing up.

In time, they transformed into thirteen beings colored in shades of blood.

Compared to before, the thirteen monsters were significantly weaker, each dropping by at least one minor realm in strength.

In particular, the ten that were ten meters tall had almost lost their standing within the Mysterious Platform realm.

Against these weakened monsters, Jiang Chen found them easy to deal with.

It appeared that Ye Fan would also face little trouble.

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

Suddenly, the creatures started growling one by one and began to pick up and eat the decayed flesh lying on the ground.

Seeing this horrific sight, Jiang Chen couldn’t hide his disgust.

The monsters were feasting on the pus and blood that had oozed from their own bodies.

Looking over at Ye Fan, he saw a similar expression of revulsion at the monsters’ vile actions.

Yet, Ye Fan refrained from attacking.

Instead, he started circling the thirteen creatures, checking to see if anyone else was around.

On his way here, Ye Fan had felt like someone was watching him.

Despite trying, he couldn’t figure out where the watcher was.

Because of this, he stayed extra cautious, choosing not to make any sudden moves.

A kilometer away, Jiang Chen saw Ye Fan start to look for any hidden dangers.

Quickly, he pulled back his divine sense and moved back several hundred meters, deftly changing direction to head towards where Li Teng was.

Soon after, Ye Fan finished checking the area around the thirteen monsters and went back to where he was standing before.

Facing the thirteen monsters, Ye Fan drew his longsword, lifted his right foot, and got ready to move forward.

But the moment his right foot hit the ground, he yelled, “Think you can follow me and get away with it?

Think again!” In an instant, Ye Fan’s figure blurred, turning into a streak as he dashed towards a hidden figure!

Ding- The sound of metal clashing rang out, and amid the tumult of energy, Ye Fan sent a figure flying-it was Li Teng!

“You again!” Ye Fan exclaimed, fixing the astonished Li Teng with a glare full of murderous intent.

There was a long history of bad blood between Ye Fan and Li Teng, with Li Teng often being the instigator.

Because of this, Ye Fan felt deep resentment towards Li Teng!

“Hmph!

I didn’t think you’d actually find me!” Li Teng said, quickly recovering from his surprise and tightening his grip on his sword.

“I was planning to wait until you were busy fighting the monster before taking you out.

But it doesn’t matter now; you’re just a minor Spiritual Awakening realm cultivator, no more significant than an ant to me!” “It was hard to get rid of you back at the sect, but here in the Cave Heaven Secret Realm, the transmission jade token won’t work, and nobody will know if I kill you!” “Now, Ye Fan, you piece of trash, get down on your knees and beg for mercy.

Do that, and I might make your end quick!” he sneered, full of contempt.

In his mind, Li Teng was already picturing Ye Fan defeated and in pain before him.

Watching this, Ye Fan couldn’t help but laugh, gearing up to fire back a retort.

But just then, a taunting voice broke through the tension, “Why waste time talking?

Let’s speed things up and send you straight to the afterlife!” Right at that moment, with a swift “swoosh,” a sword’s tip pierced straight through Li Teng’s chest, the shining silver of the blade and the bright red of the blood creating a vivid contrast.

“Agh!!” Li Teng choked out, his voice filled with pain and a rough edge, “Who are you?

Why, why!

No, I don’t want to die…” His words were drenched in a desperate desire to live and profound despair.

But the only response he got was the longsword in his chest vibrating slightly, then releasing a massive force that instantly tore his internal organs apart.

Li Teng’s eyes went wide with shock, and then he exhaled his final breath.

[Ding!

You have successfully altered the plot, preventing Protagonist Ye Fan from showing off his strength and embarrassing others, thus sabotaging his opportunity.

Ye Fan’s Heavenly Fate Value has dropped by 200 points!] [Ding!

You have gained 300 points of Villain Value!] Jiang Chen felt a surge of joy at these system notifications.

This sudden development caught Ye Fan, who had been ready to scorn and then thoroughly humiliate Li Teng, completely off guard, leaving him with a look of surprise and bewilderment.

Despite this, he couldn’t shake off a growing sense of wariness.

The attacker had managed to sneak up on Li Teng and eliminate him without Ye Fan noticing any presence or movement throughout the whole ordeal!

Furthermore, the fact that Li Teng, an Early-stage Mysterious Platform realm cultivator, had been killed so effortlessly without any chance to defend himself, clearly indicated that this newcomer was incredibly powerful!

Ye Fan’s surprise was short-lived.

Almost immediately, he recognized the one who had dispatched Li Teng.

‘What?!

Jiang Chen?!’ he thought, stunned.

‘Wasn’t he just at the Late-stage of the Spiritual Awakening realm?

How did he manage to take down someone at the Early-stage of the Mysterious Platform realm so easily?’ ‘It looks like he’s been concealing his true strength, and by a significant margin!

I need to be careful,’ Ye Fan realized, feeling a mix of resentment and an urgent desire for revenge towards Jiang Chen.

However, he kept his impulses in check.

Instead, calming his emotions, he clasped his hands in front of him and offered Jiang Chen a friendly smile, saying, “Ah, if it isn’t Daoist friend Jiang Chen from the Starry Abyss Sect?

I’m grateful for your help!” From Ye Fan’s point of view, he believed that Jiang Chen was completely unaware of the bitter feud between him and both Jiang Xingyang and the Jiang Clan, primarily because the Snowy Wind Continent was far removed from the Mysterious Truth Continent.

The typical transmission jade tokens, which only worked over a few hundred miles, were insufficient for communicating across such expansive distances.

To bridge this gap, a more advanced type of jade token was necessary – the thousand-mile transmission jade token.

These tokens, capable of sending messages over several thousand miles, were rare and typically held by the major sects.

With Jiang Xingyang and his associates out of the picture, there was no one left to inform Jiang Chen about the ongoing rivalry.

Taking these details into account, Ye Fan deduced that Jiang Chen must be oblivious to the bad blood between them.

His assumption was spot on; Jiang Chen genuinely had no idea about any conflict or issues with Ye Fan.

‘Ye Fan, this guy…’ Jiang Chen mused silently, ‘doesn’t seem to be showing any hostility towards me.’ ‘But, it’s very likely that he’s just pretending for my sake.

As the designated Villain, it’s expected that I’d have a life-and-death conflict with Ye Fan, even though the reasons for it are still unclear.’ ‘Wouldn’t it be simple if I could just avoid becoming enemies with him, maybe even ally with him?

That could instantly erase my villain status and prevent the typical tragic end for characters like me.’ ‘But that’s just ridiculous.’ Jiang Chen concluded after some thought, sure that Ye Fan was acting.

His real plan was probably to make him feel safe before delivering a deadly attack!

“Mm-hmm,” Jiang Chen gave Ye Fan a slight nod and spoke in a condescending manner, “No need to thank me.

I’m here for these thirteen monsters.

If you have no other business here, you should leave to avoid any accidental harm later.”
