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

Chapter 275: The Final Push on Three Mountains Island

It happened quickly. With one swift, precise strike, Gu Ran’s longsword sliced across the neck of an Early-stage Heavenly Origin realm cultivator, ending his life instantly.

Gu Ran’s eyes widened slightly as he realized, I did it! No one stopped me! He could feel the surge of cultivation power from the defeated cultivator flowing into his own body.

A wave of joy rushed through him, but he didn’t hesitate. He locked onto another Early-stage Heavenly Origin realm cultivator and launched another fierce attack, successfully killing them too.

They’re letting me fight Heavenly Origin realm cultivators without interference! he thought excitedly. This is valuable. Each one I kill only gives me a small boost, but it all adds up!

Still, Gu Ran knew this strategy wouldn’t work forever. He needed to figure out a way to eliminate them entirely.

At this point, he thought, it’s obvious they’re after my Endless Dark Blood Moon Bloodline. Their methods are just like the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect’s—pretending to be allies to gain my trust.

They’re afraid that my rapid growth in power will ruin their plans to extract my bloodline’s strength. That’s why they’re trying every way possible to hold me back.

Ha! Too bad for them—I’ve already seen through their tricks!

While Gu Ran continued to fight the remaining cultivators, his mind worked nonstop, plotting his next steps. However, he failed to see the bigger picture.

What Gu Ran didn’t realize was that Jiang Chen’s only goal was to kill him. The situation had become much more complicated because Gu Ran was protected by the biased will of Heavenly Fate.

As Jiang Chen watched Gu Ran’s unstoppable rampage, a slight frown appeared on his face. We need to speed things up, he thought.

I can’t let Gu Ran eliminate too many Heavenly Origin realm cultivators.

Wasting no time, Jiang Chen gave orders for all the death warriors to fight with everything they had and instructed Liu Xiong to pretend his power was increasing.

"Seven Meridians Shattering Art!"

"Spirit Ignition Forbidden Art!"

"..."

Desperate cries erupted from the death warriors as they unleashed their life-risking, secret arts, boosting their strength to incredible levels.

Caught off guard, their enemies quickly found themselves overwhelmed. In mere moments, they were bleeding heavily, their vital energy drained and their will to fight crushed.

In the sky above, You Haiyin was barely holding on. He staggered mid-air, struggling to maintain his balance as his strength faded.

Spotting his chance, Gan Ruifeng struck with ruthless precision, shouting, "Die already! Earth Shattering Heavenly Blade!"

Slash!

With no power left to defend himself, You Haiyin’s face contorted in pain. His eyes widened in shock as he realized, too late, that his body had been cut in two.

The united forces of the Gan and Cai Clans completely collapsed, their members scattering in all directions like a chaotic mudslide.

As the scene unfolded, triumphant shouts rang out across the battlefield.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Victory is ours!"

"Wipe out those Gan and Cai Clan scoundrels! Three Mountains Island belongs to the You Clan alone!"

Some of these cheers came from the You Clan’s descendants, brimming with newfound confidence. Others came from Jiang Chen’s death warriors, who cleverly stirred the crowd to incite even more chaos.

High above in the distant sky, Jiang Chen observed the dramatic events below, idly stroking his chin as he pondered. Is this it? Have the Gan and Cai Clans really been defeated so easily?

Where is Wu Qian? Shouldn’t one of the three clans have called on him by now? Without him, how will the original plot take shape?

Could it be that Wu Qian is supposed to show up only after everything is over? That would be such an anticlimactic twist.

The stage seems perfect for a major plot twist right now!

Based on his understanding of the original flow of events, Jiang Chen believed Wu Qian was destined to appear on Three Mountains Island soon—assuming nothing interfered with the plot.

If his guesses were right, Wu Qian’s arrival would likely back Gu Ran into a corner.

In the original storyline, Wu Qian had first met Gu Ran during a maritime hunting expedition. The encounter left Wu Qian impressed, sparking a favorable connection between them.

Gu Ran, in turn, would go on a rampage across Three Mountains Island, battling the three major clans one after another. Each fight would make him stronger, while the Yu, Gan, and Cai Clans struggled in vain to stop him.

Eventually, either Cai Xueqing or Gan Ruifeng, desperate to turn the tide, would summon Wu Qian, hoping for a comeback. But by then, an unforeseen twist would have already connected Wu Qian and Gu Ran, leaving them on good terms.

Wu Qian, compelled by various reasons, would side with Gu Ran. This unexpected alliance would leave the Gan and Cai Clans dumbfounded, realizing too late that they had strengthened their enemy.

From there, Gu Ran would unleash an overwhelming display of power, annihilating the core members of the Gan and Cai Clans. Only a few insignificant survivors would remain, none of whom posed any threat to him.

But now, things had shifted. Jiang Chen’s interference had altered some of the storyline, though its general trajectory remained intact.

Wu Qian’s appearance was still inevitable. While his connection with Gu Ran might differ slightly due to these changes, factors like Heavenly Fate would still push him to ally with Gu Ran, helping him achieve another significant victory.

To Jiang Chen, this outcome was unacceptable.

Determined to prevent it, Jiang Chen set his plan into motion. He soared toward the location where he calculated Wu Qian would appear, based on their earlier encounter and Wu Qian’s likely route.

His goal was clear: find Wu Qian and intercept him before fate could play its hand.
