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

Not long after,

Jiang Chen reduced his speed.

He employed his divine sense to continually observe Ye Fan and Li Teng, realizing that both were also decelerating, one trailing behind the other.

In that instant,

"Roar, roar, roar..."

The three-headed giant monster emitted agonizing roars, and subsequently began to disintegrate.

Visible to the eye, the sinewy flesh on their bodies decayed one after another, liquefying like crimson-black wax candles and seeping onto the ground.

In a mere moment,

The colossal three-headed giant monster transformed into a mound of putrid flesh.

Nonetheless, the sanguine creatures composing the three-headed monster were not deceased.

They squirmed and contended within the heap of decaying flesh, progressively rising to their feet and once again forming thirteen blood-hued creatures.

In comparison to their previous state,

The thirteen creatures had considerably weakened, with each of them descending at least a minor realm.

The ten somewhat feebler creatures had nearly tumbled out of the Mysterious Platform realm.

Facing such entities,

Jiang Chen could effortlessly handle them.

As for Ye Fan, he likely wouldn't encounter much difficulty either.

"Roar..."

One after another, the creatures abruptly emitted low growls and commenced grabbing and consuming the blood-tinged decayed flesh on the ground.

Witnessing this scene,

Jiang Chen couldn't suppress his revulsion.

These creatures were feasting on the pus and blood that had putrefied and seeped from their own forms.

Glancing at Ye Fan,

He too was grimacing at the creatures.

However, he refrained from taking action.

Instead, he started to maneuver around the thirteen creatures, seeking to discern if there were any individuals nearby.

En route to this location,

Ye Fan experienced an intuition that someone appeared to be observing him all the while!

Yet, no matter what, he couldn't locate the other party.

As a result, he maintained extreme vigilance and dared not act impulsively.

A kilometer away,

Upon noticing Ye Fan starting to eliminate potential threats, Jiang Chen quickly withdrew his divine sense and retreated several hundred meters.

Subsequently,

He maneuvered around and proceeded towards the location where Li Teng was.

Shortly,

Ye Fan had scanned the vicinity of the thirteen creatures and returned to his initial position.

Gazing at the thirteen creatures before him,

Ye Fan unsheathed a long sword, raised his right foot, and readied himself to advance.

But just as his right foot touched the ground!

"Dare to trail and endanger me, perish!"

Ye Fan's body abruptly pivoted, transforming into an afterimage as he lunged at a shadow!

Ding!

The clang of metal reverberated!

Amidst the surging waves of air, a figure was propelled out by Ye Fan; it was Li Teng!

"It's you again!!"

Ye Fan stared at the astonished Li Teng, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

Numerous grudges existed between him and Li Teng, with most of the friction between them instigated by the latter.

As a result,

Ye Fan harbored a profound animosity towards Li Teng!

"Hmph!"

"I didn't anticipate that you could actually locate me!"

"Initially, I intended to wait for you to battle the monster for a few rounds, then seize the opportunity to eliminate you."

"But now it's no different; after all, you're merely a trivial Spiritual Awakening realm cultivator, nothing more than an ant I can crush with one hand!"

"Back in the sect, it wasn't easy for me to kill you, but here in this Cave Heaven secret realm, even the transmission jade token is useless, and no one will know if I murder you!"

"Now, Ye Fan, you little wretch, kneel down and kowtow to me immediately, and I'll grant you a swifter demise!"

"..."

Li Teng gripped his long sword, his shocked expression rapidly fading, replaced by thick disdain.

In his mind,

He had already envisioned the scene of Ye Fan wailing in agony at his feet.

Observing this,

Ye Fan sneered and prepared to speak.

Nevertheless,

Precisely at that instant!

"Why squander precious moments in idle chatter?"

"Make haste and embark on a one-way journey to the underworld!"

An unexpected voice emerged.

Simultaneously,

"Swish!"

A sword's tip penetrated directly through Li Teng's chest, the glistening silver blade and vivid crimson blood strikingly visible!

"Ah!!"

"Who could it be, who... no..."

Li Teng emitted a profoundly terrified shriek, his voice laced with agony and raspiness, as well as an intense yearning for survival and deep-rooted despair.

In the following instant,

The longsword quivered subtly.

An immense force radiated, instantaneously rending Li Teng's body to pieces.

Li Teng's eyes widened in shock, and he drew his final breath.

[Ding! You have successfully altered the plot, thwarting the protagonist Ye Fan from flaunting his prowess and humiliating others, sabotaging Ye Fan's opportunity. His Heavenly Fate Value has decreased by 200 points!]

[Ding! You have earned 300 points of Villain Value!]

These two system notifications brought elation to Jiang Chen.

This particular scene,

Left Ye Fan, who had initially prepared to scoff coldly and then act to severely disgrace Li Teng, wearing an expression of amazement and bewilderment.

There was a touch of caution!

The adversary had managed to silently approach Li Teng from behind and eliminate him.

He hadn't detected any movement throughout the entire ordeal!

Furthermore, Li Teng, who was at the Early-stage Mysterious Platform realm, had been slain directly without any capacity to resist.

Evidently, the foe's power was formidable!

Ye Fan's stunned thoughts persisted for merely a moment.

In the following instant, he identified that the individual who killed Li Teng was Jiang Chen!

'What?!'

'Jiang Chen?!'

'Hasn't he only just attained the Late-stage Spiritual Awakening? How on earth could he effortlessly eliminate someone at the Early-stage Mysterious Platform?!'

'It appears he has concealed his true prowess, and quite significantly at that! I must exercise caution!'

'...'

Ye Fan brooded, his heart brimming with animosity towards Jiang Chen, yearning to vanquish him on the spot.

Nonetheless, he refrained from any impetuous actions.

Rather, he brought his hands together and offered a genial smile to Jiang Chen, remarking, "Ah, it's Senior Brother Jiang Chen from the Starry Abyss Sect. I appreciate your assistance, Senior Brother Jiang!"

From his perspective,

Jiang Chen remained oblivious to the deep-seated grudge between him and both Jiang Xingyang and the Jiang Clan.

This was because the Snowy Wind Continent was simply too remote from the Mysterious Truth Continent.

Common transmission jade tokens simply couldn't convey messages across such an immense distance.

Under typical conditions,

A superior transmission jade token could relay messages spanning several thousand miles, which was referred to as the Thousand-Mile Transmission.

An ordinary transmission jade token, on the other hand, could only communicate across a few hundred miles.

At that juncture, Jiang Xingyang and his associates had perished, leaving no avenue for the information to disseminate.

Taking various factors into account, Ye Fan deduced that Jiang Chen was uninformed about the animosity between them.

His assumption was indeed accurate.

Jiang Chen genuinely had no knowledge of the grievances or disputes he had with Ye Fan.

He was well aware that he was Ye Fan's nemesis and adversary!

The antagonistic bond was plainly evident.

It was merely that the rationale remained unknown for the moment.

'Ye Fan, this guy... he doesn't appear to harbor any hostility towards me.'

'However, it's highly possible that this is merely a faade he's putting on for my benefit.'

'As a villain, I must share a life-and-death enmity with Ye Fan, not just a gradually intensifying rivalry.'

'Otherwise, wouldn't I be able to sidestep becoming adversaries with him, instead forming an alliance, instantly nullifying my villainous status and avoiding the tragic fate of death?'

'If it were that simple, it would be utterly preposterous.'

Jiang Chen analyzed in his heart, certain that Ye Fan was putting on an act.

His objective.

It was likely to lull him into a false sense of security and then strike him with a lethal blow!

"Very well."

"There's no need for gratitude."

"I came for these thirteen monsters. If you've nothing to do here, just leave, and avoid any accidental harm later."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly at Ye Fan, speaking in a condescending manner.

Upon hearing this.

A glint of imperceptible cold light flashed through Ye Fan's eyes.

Jiang Chen had also come for those thirteen monsters!

It appeared that he, too, sought to claim the peculiar treasure that the thirteen monsters were harboring!
