Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate (Old Version)

'Darn it!'

'This guy has reached the Half-step Heavenly Origin realm!'

'His aura is even more potent than mine!'

'Given its incredible healing ability and resilience, I can't defeat it quickly; I must gradually wear it down.'

'Of course, with the aid of the Carefree Heavenly Extreme Robe, it won't be able to harm me either.'

Jiang Chen was initially taken aback, but he soon began to contemplate Ye Fan's potential reactions under the current circumstances.

If his estimation of Ye Fan's strength was accurate,

Then this guy would most likely opt for a tactical retreat and bide his time to search for treasures.

If his assessment of Ye Fan's strength was off, the adversary might launch a direct attack, astonishing everyone present.

However, the likelihood of the latter scenario was slim.

This was because they had only recently entered the Cave Heaven secret realm, and the true hidden benefits had yet to be revealed.

Ye Fan wouldn't disclose his genuine combat prowess in front of everyone so prematurely.

As anticipated,

Jiang Chen observed Ye Fan discreetly withdraw to the rear of the crowd.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The three-headed monster bellowed furiously once more, its malformed arms raised high before slamming down onto the formation.

"Crack!"

The Ice Heart School's formation instantly developed innumerable fissures before shattering with an explosive noise!

"Pu!"

Miao Xiaorui couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood, while the other Ice Heart School disciples fared even worse, many of them appearing unsteady.

"Run!"

"We stand no chance against this creature!"

"Disperse and flee; our survival hinges on our luck!"

The chief disciple of the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain yelled, and in a flash, he took off and bolted!

The remaining Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain disciples were dumbstruck by this scene.

Then, everyone else snapped into action and shifted from full-force attacks to fleeing with all their might!

At this moment,

The adage, 'When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter' perfectly captured the scene.

Chaos ensued for a time!

"Duan Ziming!"

"Let's escape together!"

The Floating Spirit Sect's chief disciple, Mu Tao, called out to the Starry Abyss Sect before leading her fellow disciples to flee.

All of the Ice Heart School disciples were injured and in a dreadful condition.

Although Miao Xiaorui earnestly wished to rally everyone to follow the Floating Spirit Sect closely,

The Ice Heart School, the Floating Spirit Sect, and the Starry Abyss Sect originated from different continents, and their relationships were tenuous, increasing the likelihood of encountering hostility.

Consequently,

She had no choice but to abandon that plan and guide her disciples to flee in a different direction.

As a result,

The five major sects scattered in four separate directions!

The Azure Jade Sect fled in one direction, the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain in another, the Starry Abyss Sect and the Floating Spirit Sect retreated together in a third direction, and the Ice Heart School in the final direction.

'Ye Fan!'

'What will you do?'

'Will you continue to flee, or pursue the monster?'

As Jiang Chen made his escape, he covertly monitored Ye Fan through his divine sense, simultaneously reducing his speed, not fleeing with his full strength!

Similarly, Li Teng of the Azure Jade Sect exhibited the same behavior!

Killing fellow sect members was strictly prohibited in the Azure Jade Sect, and only by capitalizing on the chaos would there be an opportunity to kill.

Just then!

"Roar, roar!!"

The three-headed monster, after consuming the corpses on the ground, unexpectedly pursued the fleeing Ice Heart School disciples!

"Quick!"

"Run fast!"

"Even if we join forces, we are no match for it! Scatter and run! Every person who can escape matters!"

"..."

The members of the Ice Heart School were both shocked and terrified.

Left with no alternative, they had to disperse once more, causing their entire team to crumble.

'Is it going to hunt down the weakest Ice Heart School?'

A thought flashed through Jiang Chen's mind, a glint in his eyes, and his footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

His divine sense emanated from the Spirit Condensation Bianstone Jade, encompassing a broader range.

Although the clarity had significantly diminished,

He could still discern which of the blurry figures was Ye Fan.

Just then,

He observed Ye Fan's feet shift, gradually altering direction!

Following the movement pattern, it was precisely heading towards the direction where the Ice Heart School was fleeing!

'As expected!'

'This monster is a tremendous opportunity for Ye Fan! He wouldn't relinquish it so easily!'

'Furthermore, his turning back implies he has the confidence to confront that three-headed monster; perhaps he possesses some unique means to target the creature.'

'Lastly, if there are casualties among the Ice Heart School disciples, most of their possessions will likely end up benefiting Ye Fan.'

'I must stop him!'

Jiang Chen's thoughts raced, and his feet immediately changed direction, pursuing the fleeing Ice Heart School.

Certainly.

He vigilantly monitored Ye Fan at all times, ensuring that his own presence remained undetected by Ye Fan.

At this instant,

Jiang Chen also spotted an individual stealthily tailing Ye Fan from a few hundred meters behind!

'Villain's Eye!'

[Name: Li Teng

Realm: Early-stage Mysterious Platform

Status: Supporting Character

Fate Value: 146]

'A Fate Value of 146?'

'He appears to be on the brink of death, destined to lose his life!'

'It seems this individual must be Ye Fan's adversary, arriving here to surrender his life and belongings to Ye Fan as a tribute.'

'No, I have to prevent this person's self-destructive actions, either by saving him or ending his life.'

'However, if I save him, his survival would likely be short-lived regardless, so it's more prudent to eliminate this sacrificial pawn.'

Determined, Jiang Chen pressed on, continuing to sprint forward.

Amid the chaos,

The disciples of the Starry Abyss Sect failed to notice Jiang Chen's absence from their group.

Time whisked by in an instant, spanning several dozen breaths.

"Ah! I don't want to die!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed.

A rather sophisticated male disciple from the Ice Heart School was treated as a mere morsel by the three-headed creature and crammed into its mouth.

The pace of numerous individuals from the Ice Heart School was, in fact, not significantly different from that of the ill-fated male disciple.

As such,

These individuals were also in dire peril!

"No, don't!"

"Help! Who can save me!"

One by one, the Ice Heart School disciples revealed despair in their eyes and uttered desperate cries!

However,

No one came to their aid.

That was because every member of the Ice Heart School was preoccupied with defending themselves.

The monstrous creature was at the Half-step Heavenly Origin realm!

Even if the chief disciple Miao Xiaorui intervened, she would be vanquished in a single move.

One after another, the Ice Heart School disciples could only perish miserably amidst unending despair.

Although Jiang Chen's heart was stirred with emotions, he refrained from assisting.

If he were to intervene,

His true power would undoubtedly be revealed!

At that point, it would become challenging for him to clandestinely confront Ye Fan.

And if he failed to diminish Ye Fan's Heavenly Fate Value, allowing Ye Fan ample time to develop, Jiang Chen would ultimately face his own demise.

At this very moment,

The disciples of the Ice Heart School were frantically escaping, with no one concerned for the others!

Jiang Chen trailed at a distance of approximately a kilometer behind, and in order to preserve his spiritual power, he refrained from using the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle.

The three-headed creature possessed a malformed body, which slightly hindered its speed and agility.

With Jiang Chen's swiftness, keeping pace with the three-headed monster was not an issue at all.

Time gradually elapsed.

The three-headed monster consumed another disciple, and its velocity began to progressively diminish.

This subtle detail went unnoticed by the Ice Heart School disciples, who were too petrified to observe.

The disciples dispersed and fled. As they made their escape, they saw the creature behind them had ceased its pursuit, and they continued to sprint forward with unspeakable elation.

'Has its speed decreased?'

The corner of Jiang Chen's mouth curved into a smile, 'It appears that the real show is about to begin!'
