Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Overconfidence on the Battlefield Chapter 88: Overconfidence on the Battlefield Bang!

Fei Chao’s attack powerfully met Guo Ji’s defense.

Despite being just one minor realm apart, Guo Ji was quickly thrown through the air, ending up right in front of a monster.

“No!!” Guo Ji shouted, panic making his hair stand on end.

However, he was trapped by an overwhelming force that left him unable to move.

“Roar!” The beast lifted its hand, and its three longest, razor-sharp claws pierced through Guo Ji’s body with ease.

This scene immediately filled the Azure Jade Sect and Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain members with terror, causing a chill to run down their spines and their faces to turn pale.

Guo Ji had been the strongest among them, and yet, he met a rapid and miserable end!

It was easy for them to imagine themselves facing a similar fate as Guo Ji.

Luckily, in their current battle against the monsters, the five other sects were in need of more fighters.

“Go fight those monsters for me, or you’ll all die!” Fei Chao ordered, smirking, and then turned to face the blood-colored creature again.

He was confident that taking out Guo Ji served as a clear warning to the others.

As expected, after seeing two of their own fall, particularly the grim end of Guo Ji, the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain and Azure Jade Sect members found their greed significantly reduced by more than half!

Suddenly, everyone stopped in their tracks, with many even backing away to a safe distance.

“What do we do now?” someone whispered, filled with anxiety.

“There’s no way we can take the giant egg with the Beast Emperor Mountain and the other four sects guarding it,” another said quietly in dismay.

“Even with so many of us, we just don’t have the power for a major fight,” a third murmured.

“Should we just leave?” “…” The Azure Jade Sect and Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain members exchanged looks, keeping an eye on the representatives from the Heavenly Blade School, the Beast Emperor Mountain, the Water Cloud Sect, the Bright Sun Sect, and the Divine Wind School while they talked quietly among themselves.

While some were thinking about leaving right away, others thought about pulling back for a bit.

Their plan was straightforward: let the nearly untouched sects like the Beast Emperor Mountain and the Heavenly Blade School, together with those twenty-plus blood-colored monsters, wear each other out in their fight over the giant egg, similar to two dogs fighting over a bone, before stepping in.

Ye Fan was one of those who believed in this strategy!

But, how could the members of the Heavenly Blade School, the Beast Emperor Mountain, the Water Cloud Sect, the Bright Sun Sect, and the Divine Wind School not realize what they were thinking at this moment?

If the Azure Jade Sect and the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain hadn’t yet joined the fight, there could have been a chance to sneak in as a third party and make off with the prize.

However, now that they had entered the fray, getting away without any trouble was going to be difficult!

Just then, Fei Chao, briefly breaking away from the monster he was battling, shot a threatening look at the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain and Azure Jade Sect members, saying, “Hey, you cowards over there, I know exactly what you’re plotting.

If anyone tries to run, I, Fei Chao, will be the first to take them down!” “That’s right!” came another voice in agreement.

“Anyone thinking of leaving, even if it’s to avoid fighting the monsters, I’ll take them out myself!” Qiu Linrui stated strongly.

“Get into the action now!

Help out and you’ll be rewarded.

But run away, and you’re done for!

Can’t you see what the smart move is?” Xie Lianchu encouraged.

“…” Members of the Heavenly Blade School, the Water Cloud Sect, the Bright Sun Sect, and the Divine Wind School also made strong threats and offers, speaking with intensity.

Upon hearing this, the faces of those from the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain and the Azure Jade Sect turned grim.

“This is bad,” one of them whispered, filled with worry.

“They’re pushing us into the fight!” “If we don’t join in, it’s over for us.

We have to move forward.” “…” Eventually, many, driven by the fear of dying, agreed with reluctance.

“Alright then,” Tao Jun declared with resolve.

“Everyone, follow me closely!” “First, let’s come together to take on the monsters.

Then, we can compete for the giant egg,” he planned.

“Okay!” someone else responded, ready to go.

“Let’s do this!” “…” Everyone nodded, and taking a step forward, they plunged into the battle.

Ye Fan blended in with the crowd.

The battlefield was now more chaotic than ever, presenting him the perfect chance to quietly gather qi and blood energy.

Observing this, Fei Chao commented to himself with a cold huff, “Hmph!

At least they have the sense not to run away!” He then returned his attention to fighting the monster in front of him.

The others also showed disdainful looks.

Actually, the only reason the five sects hesitated to confront those from the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain and the Azure Jade Sect directly after everything was over was their fear that they might join forces with a sect not their own, potentially tipping the balance of power.

Now, these five major powers were caught in a complex web of both collaboration and rivalry.

If the folks from the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain and the Azure Jade Sect decided to side with one of them, that group would undeniably gain a significant advantage.

Thus, the Heavenly Blade School, the Beast Emperor Mountain, the Water Cloud Sect, the Bright Sun Sect, and the Divine Wind School all silently agreed it was best to keep the Azure Jade Sect and Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain members around.

After all, they were considered too weak to pose a real threat or snatch away any significant gains.

The battle raged on, plunging the entire field into chaos!

Roar!

Roar!

Roar!

The blood-red humanoid monsters let out fearsome roars, their black, razor-sharp claws slicing through the air, leaving deep marks in the earth.

As cries of “Die!” echoed from numerous throats, a barrage of powerful attacks was unleashed by the cultivators.

Bright spells and sharp, icy blades cut through the monsters, drenching the ground in blood and remnants!

Every now and then, a monster would stumble and fall, overwhelmed by the collective force of the cultivators.

However, some cultivators weren’t so fortunate, meeting their end at the merciless hands of the monsters’ deadly claws, their bodies left in pieces.

Despite the losses, the human cultivators held their ground, gradually overpowering the monsters, pushing them back.

As the cultivators gained the upper hand, their superiority in numbers began to significantly impact the battle against their monstrous adversaries.

The monsters faced severe defeats, their numbers dwindling rapidly from over twenty to just eight.

“Quickly!” Fei Chao shouted, ecstatic.

“Increase the intensity of our attacks, eliminate them all, and the giant egg will be ours!” A spark of eagerness appeared in the eyes of the others.

As they ramped up their assaults, their focus locked onto the giant egg, greed overtaking their senses.

However, just as victory seemed within reach and everyone thought the monsters were close to being wiped out, the creatures, sensing their impending doom, let out desperate and sorrowful cries!

Feeling an unsettling sense of familiarity, the members of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain and the Azure Jade Sect looked at each other with growing alarm.

“This is bad!” one yelled out in panic.

“They’re going to merge!” another voiced in fear.

“…” They had been through a similar situation before, where they faced the terrifying strength of monsters that had fused together!

In that previous encounter, five major sects, with a combined force of 150 people, were defeated by just one fused blood-red monster!

Although there were fewer monsters considering merging this time, three of them were at the Late-stage Mysterious Platform realm.

The power they would possess once combined was expected to be just as fearsome as the monster they had faced before.

“What kind of fusion?” a cultivator asked, puzzled.

“What are these monsters up to?” another questioned, unable to believe it.

“…” The members of the Heavenly Blade School, the Beast Emperor Mountain, the Water Cloud Sect, the Bright Sun Sect, and the Divine Wind School were unfamiliar with the concept of fused blood-red monsters.

This lack of experience led to shocked and disbelieving expressions among some of them.

Just then, a disciple from the Bright Sun Sect scoffed, “Hmph, why be scared of these monsters, even if they fuse?

A bunch of cowards, shaking in their boots!” His tone dripped with scorn.

Many others shared this view, convinced that the fear displayed by the Azure Jade Sect and the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain members was due to their weakness.

Unfortunately, such blind arrogance often leads people to overestimate their own abilities; they are the type who won’t admit defeat until they’re faced with undeniable failure.

By then, it’s usually too late.
