Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate

Chapter 90: Jiang Chen, You Just Wait

"Wang Dong?"

"Do you consider me beneath you?"

"Are you not afraid that I will humiliate you?"

Jiang Chen scrutinized Wang Dong with an incredulous expression, tossing the questions his way.

"You will humiliate me?"

"More like I will pulverize you!"

Initially taken aback, Wang Dong swiftly regained his composure, sneering as he prepared to strike.

But then!

A radiant, slender line abruptly pierced through his neck.

It was Jiang Chen's Spiritual Awakening realm longsword.

"I!"

"I... cough, cough, gush!"

Wang Dong's body tensed, as he lowered his gaze to witness the blood seeping onto his chest. His visage was painted with a blend of disbelief and sheer terror.

Immediately following this.

He spewed even more blood, grasped his throat, and collapsed onto his knees, ultimately succumbing to death.

"Hehe."

"To underestimate me is foolish."

Jiang Chen's cold sneer sliced through the air. He waved his hand, confiscating the storage artifacts from Wang Dong's corpse, including the storage ring and the spirit beast pouch he had previously acquired from Hu Hanshan.

Then, he recovered his longsword.

[Ding! Successfully thwarted protagonist Ye Fan's attempts at grandstanding and humiliating others, seizing a portion of Ye Fan's opportunities. Ye Fan's Heavenly Fate Value has been deducted by 300 points!]

[Ding! You have accumulated 500 points of Villain Value!]

The system notification resonated.

An expression of pure elation spread across Jiang Chen's face.

This was a moment he had been anticipating for quite some time.

"Jiang Chen!"

Ye Fan's voice suddenly sliced through the silence, as icy as a chilling gust emanating from a frostbitten cavern.

"Oh?"

"Ye Fan, correct? A defeated underling. If you have something to express, speak freely."

Jiang Chen regarded Ye Fan with a frigid and haughty expression, flawlessly embodying the villain's persona.

"Do you comprehend!"

"Between you and me, a profound enmity exists!"

Ye Fan lowered his head, his eyes concealed in the shadow of his hair, his voice plunging to an even more freezing tone.

"What!?"

"Profound enmity?"

"Merely because I trounced you and sent you scampering off with your tail tucked between your legs, this qualifies as profound enmity?"

Jiang Chen feigned surprise and ridiculed him.

Yet, in truth.

A lethal intent had already commenced its ascent within his heart.

"Your parents slaughtered my entire family!!"

"Thus, I will exterminate your entire lineage to exact vengeance and satiate my loathing!!"

"Now that I've already dispatched your parents, today, it's your turn!"

Ye Fan abruptly raised his head, his eyes wide and veined with crimson streaks, ablaze with fervent hatred!

"What!"

"My parents annihilated your entire family? You've slain my parents? How could that be!"

"..."

Jiang Chen simulated a shocked and irate countenance, a glimmer of sorrow flickering in his heart, as his preceding suspicions were validated...

"Not bad!"

"Today, it is you who will fall, and I who will continue to live!"

Ye Fan growled, a wellspring of hatred seeping from his voice. He slowly unsheathed a Spiritual Awakening realm longsword with his right hand.

The blade of this longsword shimmered like a clear brook under autumn sunlight.

It was in no way inferior to Jiang Chen's top-grade longsword.

"Cretin, the one destined to fall is you!"

Jiang Chen bellowed furiously, brandishing his longsword and charging towards Ye Fan!

"I am no longer the man I once was!"

Ye Fan clenched his teeth, his right hand fiercely propelling the longsword forward. The air itself was rent asunder, giving off a spine-chilling shriek!

With this sword strike.

He mustered all his might!

His intention was to obliterate Jiang Chen in one fell swoop!

He also held the conviction that his new self could effortlessly vanquish Jiang Chen!

However!

In the very next moment!

An unspeakably fearsome force and chill coursed upwards through the longsword in his grasp.

"What!!"

Ye Fan was profoundly shaken, his entire body propelled backwards.

Bang, bang, bang!

His feet hammered the ground, carving out large craters, yet it was still challenging to arrest his body's relentless backward flight!

Furthermore.

Ye Fan experienced an intense, bone-deep frost throughout his body. His hair and eyebrows were already crusted with ice crystals, and the Yuan Power within him momentarily stilled!

"Is that your limit?"

"Then meet your end!"

Jiang Chen's eyes blazed with fury as he gripped his longsword, executing the Void Rainbow Sixth Sword Style - Piercing Through the Clouds. He was upon Ye Fan in an instant.

"Violent Tiger Power!"

"Burning Blood Art!"

"Six Meridians Eight Gates, open!"

Inside, Ye Fan was reeling in shock and disbelief, left with no alternative but to unveil his clandestine abilities one after another!

Suddenly.

Various power-boosting secret arts were deployed.

Temporarily, Ye Fan's cultivation base surged.

The power of the various cultivation methods he had mastered also began to fully manifest.

His combat power rocketed directly to the Half-step Heavenly Origin realm!

"Do you assume you're the only one harbouring hidden strengths!"

Jiang Chen barked out coldly, "Wind Void Steps, Jade Void Flash!"

In a heartbeat.

His form materialized before Ye Fan, his longsword descending towards his adversary's head with lightning speed.

"Jade Harmony Smoke Net, morph into a mist!"

Ye Fan's pupils contracted abruptly, and he instinctively swung his longsword, erecting a faultless defense before him!

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

Longswords clashed ceaselessly!

Jiang Chen seemed to be under the possession of a berserk demon, recklessly hoisting his longsword time and time again, striking it down with unbridled fury!

"Ah, ah, ah!"

Ye Fan couldn't help but release an enraged roar, his hands moving like a whirlwind, relentlessly warding off Jiang Chen's onslaught.

For an instant.

The cacophony of clashing metal resonated incessantly.

The pair engaged in ferocious combat, sparks flying as their longswords even became distorted and damaged.

"Heavy Magnificence - Frenzied Wind Blade!"

"Meet your doom!"

Suddenly, a lower-grade Heavenly Origin realm long saber materialized in Ye Fan's left hand, slashing vehemently towards Jiang Chen.

'What on earth!'

'When did this fellow acquire such a weapon?'

'Could it be from that Heavenly Blade School disciple who was earlier slain by the monster?!'

Jiang Chen was deeply shocked, considering the protagonist's fortune to be truly preposterous!

Simultaneously, the Shadowblade Sword materialized in his left hand, executing the Void Rainbow Seventh Sword Style - Falling Star. It descended from above like a meteor, striking Ye Fan's long saber with unyielding force.

Clang!!

A thunderous sound echoed.

Terrifying aftershocks of the battle, with the two combatants at the epicenter, instantaneously swept in all directions. The surrounding corpses were all sent flying!

"Heavenly Origin realm longsword weapon!"

Ye Fan utilized the momentum to withdraw, his pupils contracting, his gaze brimming with gravity.

"Let's see how long you can persist!"

Jiang Chen sneered icily, his feet shifted, and he once again executed the Void Rainbow Sixth Sword Style - Piercing Through the Clouds. He nearly metamorphosed into an azure dragon, barreling towards Ye Fan.

"Unmatched Heaven Beheading Blade!"

Ye Fan once more unleashed a saber technique, the long saber in his hand sprang forth with ferocity, colliding with the Shadowblade Sword!

Clang!!

Another resounding clamor echoed!

The aftershocks of the clash erupted once more, propelling the strewn corpses on the ground to the walls' edge.

"Void Rainbow Fourth Sword Style - Sword Shadow, strike!"

Jiang Chen's right wrist flicked, and a multitude of sword shadows assailed Ye Fan's vital points from various cunning angles.

"Flawless Heart Severing Blade!"

Ye Fan deployed another saber technique, employing brute force to shatter Jiang Chen's sword maneuver.

"Have at it!"

Jiang Chen bellowed lowly, hoisting his longsword yet again.

Then.

The clanging symphony of metal against metal resonated continuously.

After hundreds of exchanges.

'This isn't good!'

'My Yuan Power is nearly depleted!'

A sinking feeling seized Ye Fan's heart!

He had practiced numerous cultivation methods, and his Yuan Power reserves far surpassed those of similar level.

However, when compared to Jiang Chen, who stood a whole realm above him and was also a peerless powerhouse, his reserves seemed meager.

'Curse it!'

'Am I destined to relinquish this mysterious giant egg?!'

Reluctance surged in Ye Fan's heart, yet his body had already reacted, preparing to seize the opening to escape!

He was the kind of protagonist who leaned heavily towards caution, preferring to avoid mistakes rather than seek glory, valuing his life above all else, and seldom taking risks without sufficient confidence.

At this moment.

His life was teetering on a perilous edge.

Though Ye Fan's heart was heavy with reluctance and resentment, he had no other choice but to beat a hasty retreat!

"Jiang Chen!"

"You just wait!"

"I will undoubtedly avenge this deep-seated animosity!"

"I refuse to believe you have any more tricks up your sleeve!"

With gritted teeth, Ye Fan fiercely clashed his weapon against Jiang Chen's, then used the recoil to retreat, vanishing into the labyrinthine passage.
