Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate - Chapter 99

Chapter 99: The Unbridgeable Gap of Power Chapter 99: The Unbridgeable Gap of Power In the midst of the crowd, the instant Ye Fan heard the voice from above, he couldn’t help but shudder.

Lifting his head, though it was hard to do so, hoping against hope he was wrong, he faced the bitter truth.

Jiang Chen was there, perched at the edge of the secret chamber above.

Ye Fan’s eyes immediately widened in shock, and he silently cried out in frustration, ‘It’s actually him!

How on earth did he get here?

Did he track me down and follow me?’ However, once he had processed Jiang Chen’s location following his initial surprise, a flicker of relief also emerged in his heart.

‘Luckily, I’ve safely stowed away all the jade slips.

Otherwise, he would have taken them all.’ At this moment, Duan Ziming, with a serious look on his face, pressed on, “Jiang Chen, cut the chatter!

Get out of here now!” The rest of the Starry Abyss Sect followed suit, pushing Jiang Chen to escape with his life, some even doing as Nie Wei did by throwing their storage artifacts towards Jiang Chen!

Right then, a loud “boom” resounded as the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf’s attack slammed against the formation again.

Clearly, this creature was entirely unaffected by the emotional scene unfolding.

“We can’t hold on much longer!” “We have to split up and fall back!” Miao Xiaorui from the Ice Heart School and Mu Tao from the Floating Spirit Sect couldn’t bear the increasing pressure any longer.

With effortful yells, they reluctantly left their positions, retreating towards safety.

Yelling “Make way!” in a mix of panic, Duan Ziming and the other disciples of the Starry Abyss Sect quickly joined in the retreat.

Simultaneously, as the situation deteriorated, Ye Fan’s stress reached a breaking point.

Realizing he could no longer afford to continue playing the self-effacing role any longer, he dashed towards his fellow sect members, Xu Yuan’s group, and issued a command with newfound authority, “Senior Brothers, give me all the monsters’ inner cores now!” In that instant, Ye Fan demonstrated the speed of a Half-step Heavenly Origin realm cultivator, astonishing everyone there!

‘Half-step Heavenly Origin realm?

Since when did Ye Fan achieve such incredible strength?’ Xu Yuan was deeply shocked, but his surprise quickly turned into joy, as he began to see a way out of their desperate situation.

Having a Half-step Heavenly Origin realm fighter among them meant they could potentially overpower everyone else present.

United, they might even have a shot at taking on the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf!

At this critical point, the members of the Azure Jade Sect saw not just a path to escape their perilous situation but also a chance to claim the prized inheritances within the Cave Heaven Secret Realm!

However, Xu Yuan and the others, filled with visions of a promising future, didn’t realize that their newfound beacon of hope, Ye Fan, was consumed by anxiety and fear.

With Jiang Chen around, Ye Fan was acutely aware that he was outclassed.

Securing the Monster Cores was crucial; without them, he was destined for another defeat at Jiang Chen’s hands.

Having retreated from confrontations with Jiang Chen multiple times before, even Ye Fan’s resilient spirit was finding the mounting humiliation harder to bear.

And as if fate plays cruel tricks, the more one dreads a particular outcome, the more likely it seems to occur!

As Ye Fan was attempting to secure the one thing that could swiftly change his fortunes, Jiang Chen’s taunting voice suddenly rang out, “Thinking of getting the Monster Cores?

Keep dreaming!” Yet, the afterimage left by his movement aboard the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle was faster than even his voice, surpassing Ye Fan in a blink!

Seeing the flying artifact under Jiang Chen’s feet, which was unlike any he had seen before, Ye Fan’s expression was filled with surprise.

‘Hold on!

How did he get his hands on this top-grade flying artifact from the Mysterious Platform rank!’ ‘Not again!

Did Jiang Chen trick me once more?!

That Spiritual Awakening-level flying artifact must have been a decoy to mislead me!’ Ye Fan thought to himself, on the verge of despair, realizing he had no way to stop Jiang Chen.

“What?!” Xu Yuan and the other disciples of the Azure Jade Sect stared in disbelief at Jiang Chen, who had suddenly appeared before them, completely astonished.

This speed was clearly beyond what someone from the Mysterious Platform realm could achieve.

It was unmistakably the speed of someone in the Heavenly Origin realm.

In a flash, Jiang Chen thrust his longsword forward, accompanied by a soft yet chilling shout, “Void Rainbow Fourth Sword Style – Sword Shadow!”, transforming it into seven spectral blades that targeted the vital points of Xu Yuan and the other disciples of the Azure Jade Sect directly.

Ye Fan, desperately charging at Jiang Chen upon witnessing the demise of Xu Yuan’s group, screamed, “No!” Simultaneously, he swung his long saber down with unrestrained rage, yelling, “Flawless Heavy Severing Blade!” Yet, Jiang Chen merely shot him a disdainful look, effortlessly collected the bodies of Xu Yuan and the other six, and then, controlling the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle, he turned into a fleeting shadow, swiftly moving towards the location of the Starry Abyss Sect members.

Bang!

Ye Fan’s long saber hit only the ground, creating a huge crater!

Meanwhile, everyone present, whether from the Starry Abyss Sect, the Floating Spirit Sect, the Ice Heart School, or the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain, was rendered speechless by this shocking development, their jaws practically hitting the floor.

They could never have anticipated Jiang Chen displaying such astonishing speed and formidable combat skills, taking the lives of seven individuals with just one stroke of his sword.

What they also hadn’t expected was Ye Fan’s display of powerful force – that recent strike clearly possessed the strength of the Half-step Heavenly Origin realm.

It became apparent to them that if they were to face that Flawless Heavy Severing Blade technique, none would be able to withstand it.

Initially, the crowd had underestimated the pair, only to discover that both were formidable hidden grandmasters!

At this moment, Jiang Chen had already regrouped with Duan Ziming’s party, savoring the system notifications that had just resounded in his mind.

[Ding!

You have successfully changed the course of the plot, seizing some of the protagonist Ye Fan’s chances.

Ye Fan’s Heavenly Fate Value has been reduced by 500 points!] [Ding!

You have gained 900 points of Villain Value!] Roar!!

Out of nowhere, the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf, momentarily forgotten in the chaos, unleashed a deafening roar as it lunged towards the largest group of people, which, by coincidence, included members of the Starry Abyss Sect.

Seeing the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf attack Jiang Chen, Ye Fan declared, “Jiang Chen!

I won’t be defeated again in this battle!” His expression twisted with fierce determination, he surprisingly shifted his attack towards the disciples of the Ice Heart School, pulling Miao Xiaorui into the conflict as well.

The Azure Jade Sect and the Ice Heart School, both originating from the icy vastness of the Snowy Wind Continent, were well-acquainted with the tension of frequent conflicts.

Ye Fan’s motives were unmistakably clear – he intended to exploit the disciples of the Ice Heart School as pawns to obtain the Monster Cores for himself.

But his ambition went further; he also planned to eliminate them to absorb the powerful qi and blood energy from their defeated bodies.

“Hmph!

Your schemes are nothing but fantasies while I’m here!” Jiang Chen responded coldly, raising his hands as he declared, “Burning World Raging Flames, arise!” Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

A breathtaking wave of heat, fearsome in its power, engulfed the entire underground palace in a moment.

The palace was consumed by a crimson inferno, its other hues completely overtaken by the fury of the flames!

The Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf became the focal point of Jiang Chen’s Burning World Raging Flames.

Sensing the looming threat and driven by its basic survival instinct, the colossal wolf made a frantic effort to dodge.

However, despite its remarkable speed, the demonic beast was helpless against the overwhelming onslaught of the Burning World Raging Flames, with no escape available.

In an instant, the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf was engulfed by a boundless blaze.

Roar!

Roar!

Its pained cries echoed ominously from within the depths of the flame sea.

Jiang Chen remained indifferent to the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf’s suffering.

His focus was elsewhere-he was preoccupied with gathering the storage artifacts from Xu Yuan’s group.

Then, without a second thought, he coldly threw their lifeless bodies into the devouring flames.

Immediately after, he directed the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle straight at Ye Fan.

Upon hearing about the Heavenly Origin realm and Half-step Heavenly Origin realm, it might seem the difference between them is minimal, almost negligible.

However, in reality, the gap in actual combat power is immense.

Right when Ye Fan’s powerful strike wounded Miao Xiaorui, sending her flying back to crash into the ground with a loud impact, Jiang Chen appeared behind him.

With a cold, resolute voice, he proclaimed, “Die!” He and his sword seemed to become one, transforming into a thin beam of lethal intent.

‘Aargh!

What the hell is going on now!

Didn’t he use a powerful ice-based secret art last time!?

Why is he wielding such intense flames now!?’ As these thoughts raced through his mind, fear had already taken hold of Ye Fan’s heart.

Despite this, he didn’t neglect to protect himself, spinning his long saber at high speed to create a wind-shielded barrier around himself with his Heavy Wind Vicious Blade technique.
