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

Chapter 90: Revenge in the Underground Chamber

"Who’s there?!" Wang Dong shouted, feeling a sudden chill as sweat appeared on his forehead. He hadn’t noticed anyone sneaking up on him!

However, as he spun around and saw that it was Ye Fan, he let out a big sigh of relief. "Oh, it’s you, kid. Your name is Ye Fan, right?" Wang Dong asked, his tone blending surprise with recognition.

"You’re after this giant egg as well?" He scoffed at Ye Fan, mentally chastising himself for his previous carelessness, which had prevented him from detecting Ye Fan’s approach.

With a nonchalant look, Ye Fan opened his mouth and responded, "Yes, if you could hand it over to me..." But before he could complete his sentence, another voice reverberated through the underground chamber. "Hand it over to you? Absurd!" the scorn in the voice was unmistakable.

"Who’s there!?" both Wang Dong and Ye Fan shouted together, taken aback, as a hint of sweat formed on their foreheads. They, who had believed themselves to be the hunters, were actually the hunted.

As Wang Dong and Ye Fan looked in the direction of the voice, they saw the speaker emerging slowly from one of the tunnels, his face brimming with teasing smiles.

"It’s you!" Wang Dong gasped, "Hold on, your name’s Jiang Chen, right? A core disciple of the Starry Abyss Sect."

Recognizing Jiang Chen, he breathed a sigh of relief and sneered mockingly, "Hahaha, I can’t believe that two Spiritual Awakening realm cultivators would sequentially challenge me for this chance. Are you trying to make me laugh to death!?"

Upon seeing Jiang Chen, Ye Fan’s expression briefly turned serious, but the moment passed quickly, and he returned to his usual demeanor. ’Jiang Chen, you are undeniably strong,’ he thought to himself, ’But you couldn’t possibly know that in such a short time, I’ve mastered two Heavenly Origin-level cultivation methods to the Perfect-level, significantly boosting my fighting ability.’

Ye Fan’s previous apprehension towards Jiang Chen faded. He now felt a surge of confidence, believing he had the upper hand.

Just then, Jiang Chen, who had been eyeing Wang Dong with a skeptical look after hearing his derisive comment, suddenly responded, adopting a look of disbelief. "Do you actually think you’re better than me? Aren’t you worried I might make a fool out of you?"

"You think you can humiliate me?" Wang Dong shot back, momentarily surprised before quickly recovering his poise. With a smirk, he asserted, "It’s more like I’ll crush you!"

As Wang Dong was about to make his move, a bright, thin beam suddenly shot through his neck and withdrew just as quickly, making the whole incident appear almost like a trick of the eye.

Wang Dong’s frame stiffened as he slowly looked down to see blood spreading across his chest. His face was a mix of utter disbelief and profound fear.

Lifting his eyes once more, he pointed a shaking finger at Jiang Chen, whose Spiritual Awakening-level longsword still had blood dripping from its tip, and stammered, "You, you... cough, cough, gush!" Before he could finish, he was overtaken by coughing fits, expelling more blood. Clutching at his throat and feeling his life force ebbing away, Wang Dong fell to his knees and eventually died.

"Hehe, underestimating me was a mistake," Jiang Chen stated, his cold laugh cutting through the silence. He then gestured, claiming the items from Wang Dong’s body, including the storage ring and the Demonic Beast Spirit Pouch he had taken from Hu Hanshan earlier.@@@@

At that moment, system notifications echoed in Jiang Chen’s mind.

"What!!" Ye Fan gasped, deeply shocked, as he was sent flying backwards.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

His feet struck the ground, creating deep craters, yet he struggled to stop his relentless backward momentum.

Moreover, Ye Fan felt an intense, penetrating cold throughout his body. Ice crystals had formed on his hair and eyebrows, and the Origin Power inside him was momentarily frozen.

"Is this all you’ve got? Then prepare to meet your doom!" Jiang Chen roared, his eyes alight with rage as he wielded his longsword, unleashing the Void Rainbow Sixth Sword Style - Piercing Through the Clouds. He closed the distance to Ye Fan in a blink.

Internally, Ye Fan was overwhelmed with shock and disbelief. With no other option, he quickly activated his array of cultivation methods designed to enhance his combat strength; Violent Tiger Power, Burning Blood Art, Six Meridians Eight Gates!

In an instant, as he employed these power-enhancing techniques, Ye Fan’s cultivation base temporarily soared, and the full potential of the cultivation methods he had mastered was unleashed. His combat power surged, reaching the Half-step Heavenly Origin realm!

Observing this, Jiang Chen’s face showed no surprise as he coldly declared, "Did you think you were the only one with hidden powers?" Instantly, he executed the Jade Void Flash from the Wind Void Steps Manual, appearing in front of Ye Fan in an instant. His longsword swiftly descended towards Ye Fan’s head with the speed of lightning.

Feeling the looming danger, Ye Fan’s eyes narrowed instantly, and on instinct, he swung his longsword, mentally invoking, ’Jade Harmony Smoke Net, Transform into Mist!’ He quickly formed a perfect defense in front of him.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of longswords colliding filled the air.

Jiang Chen appeared possessed, like a frenzied demon, lifting his weapon repeatedly and bringing it down with relentless force!

"Argh!" Ye Fan let out a furious roar, his hands moving rapidly, tirelessly deflecting Jiang Chen’s fierce attacks.

For a moment, the sound of metal striking metal echoed without pause.

The two were locked in intense battle, with sparks flying as their longswords became bent and damaged from the force of their blows.

Just as the confrontation reached its peak, out of nowhere, a long saber appeared in Ye Fan’s left hand, astonishingly a lower-grade artifact of the Heavenly Origin rank.

With a resolute cry, "Heavy Wind Vicious Blade!" Ye Fan forcefully swung the long saber towards Jiang Chen, declaring vehemently, "This is the end for you!"
