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

Chapter 175: Then I Will Wait for You to Recover



Chapter 175: Then I Will Wait for You to Recover

"The potency of Fang Yuan's power-boosting secret art astonishes me. Could such a secret art truly originate from the Fang Clan?"

Ji Mingxiu studied Fang Yuan, a mix of surprise and worry playing in his gaze.

Mo Yu and the rest of the team shared his confusion and concern.

The secret art employed by Fang Yuan had magnified his fighting prowess manifold, a truly daunting spectacle!

Even the most formidable power-boosting secret art from the Purple Heaven Holy Land might only achieve a similar scale of impact, but at a terrifying cost.

Regardless of Fang Yuan's source of this secret art, was he capable of enduring the recoil of such a potent technique?

Could he risk total devastation after invoking the secret art?

"Ready the finest healing pills."

"Fang Yuan, although slightly lesser to Jiang Chen, is an indispensable asset. We cannot afford any mishaps."

Ji Mingxiu turned towards Mo Yu and the remaining three, communicating his thoughts.

"Affirmative."

One after the other, Mo Yu and his companions nodded, preparing to aid Fang Yuan when needed.

Upon the stage, Jiang Chen and Fang Yuan, in swift succession, dashed about wildly, trailing a myriad of afterimages.

In an instant, the stage seemed to be teeming with spectres, an unusually mesmerizing spectacle.

'Curse it!'

'Why isn't his pace dwindling?'

'If this proceeds, I'll be ground down!'

As Fang Yuan beheld Jiang Chen, tantalizingly within reach yet elusive to strike, he felt his anxiety and irritation surging.

In the subsequent moment.

'Piercing Wind Secrets!'

He gritted his teeth in resolve and once again staked his life to employ a technique to augment his velocity.

This technique wasn't superior-grade.

But it was sufficient to lend Fang Yuan an incremental burst of speed.

And at this moment, that slight boost in speed was all he sought!

Just then, leveraging the 'Piercing Wind Secrets', Fang Yuan finally managed to bridge that tiny gap, his spear tip on the verge of impaling Jiang Chen's back!

Yet, Jiang Chen had remained vigilant of Fang Yuan's potential outburst.

'Void Rainbow Sword Technique Fourth Style - Sword Shadow!'

With a deft sweep of the sword in his right hand towards his rear, Jiang Chen instantaneously summoned a host of sword shadows.

Ding, Ding, Ding!

The long spear collided with the long sword, triggering a continuous symphony of clashing metal!

In the wake of circular shockwaves, both Jiang Chen and Fang Yuan were concurrently propelled sideways.

But in a flash, Fang Yuan once again took to the air, leaving a trail of sonic booms in his wake. He launched his most powerful attack, 'Death Command', charging yet again at Jiang Chen!

Having pivoted around, Jiang Chen delivered a ruthless slash with his long sword forward!

Clang!

The piercingly sharp sound was near deafening, threatening to rupture eardrums!

The very next moment, Fang Yuan's form was visible, catapulted backward like a cannonball, violently smashing into the formation barrier!

Concurrently, Jiang Chen feigned a retreat of over ten meters, steadying his stance.

"Ptui!"

"How can this be!"

Fang Yuan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face a mask of disbelief. His entire body shuddered, utterly incredulous that he had been outrightly vanquished by Jiang Chen.

After all, he had employed two power-boosting secret arts.

One of which, the 'Vigorous Sift Diagram', was bestowed upon him by Shangguan Ning and Nangong Wan, it certainly wasn't an ordinary secret art!

But despite this, he was still sent hurtling by Jiang Chen!

Just how formidable was Jiang Chen!?

"Wow!"

"Fang Yuan has been flung away. While he didn't activate the formation's protective barrier, he's nearing defeat."

"I'm somewhat baffled. This guy abruptly became so powerful, could it be that he consumed a pill to explosively enhance his combat strength?"

"That seems highly likely. Could Fang Yuan have mastered such a potent power-boosting secret art within such a brief span? He must have taken a pill! This is a clear breach of the rules!"

"He's truly pulling out all the stops to achieve victory. Sadly, all his efforts against Senior Brother Jiang Chen are futile!"

"I've completely figured out this Fang Yuan. He's a thorough villain, yet Senior Brother Jiang Chen has been so gracious towards him!"

"Senior Brother Jiang Chen must discern the type of person Fang Yuan truly is. But as he previously stated, to recognize one's errors and rectify them is commendable, which is why he endures Fang Yuan."

"All you do is talk about Fang Yuan. That guy isn't worth mentioning. Don't disrupt my admiration for Senior Brother Jiang Chen's valiance, alright?"

"Right, right, right. Senior Brother Jiang Chen is so admirable, who can gauge just how mighty he really is!"

"..."

Countless disciples witnessed Fang Yuan being repelled and instantly unleashed a wave of taunts. The air was charged with sounds of mockery, scorn, and skepticism!

From Jiang Chen's corner, all that emanated was veneration and awe!

On the stage.

"Fang Yuan, let's conclude this."

Jiang Chen gazed at Fang Yuan, whose face was marked by disbelief and defiance, and spoke calmly.

"No!"

"I haven't been defeated yet!!"

"You've also invoked a power-boosting secret art, you're bound to falter before I do!"

Fang Yuan bellowed, his entire being lunging forward like a vengeful serpent, his long spear homing in on Jiang Chen's throat in a blink!

"Sigh."

Jiang Chen let out a resigned sigh, shifting his footing as his long sword carved an arc through the sky.

Ding!!

The long sword and long spear met with a resounding clash.

A circular shockwave emanated outwards, distorting the air around.

Bang!

Fang Yuan was thrust backwards once more, slamming into the formation barrier, blood spilling involuntarily from his mouth.

"Ah ah ah!"

Fang Yuan roared in disbelief, his expression wild as he wielded the long spear and launched another attack.

Jiang Chen, meanwhile, evaded while brandishing his long sword, employing the Void Rainbow Sword Technique to parry.

Even though the Void Rainbow Sword Technique was merely a Heavenly Origin realm sword technique, Jiang Chen's combat prowess was simply overwhelming, having already ascended to the Late-stage Inquiring Journey+.

Therefore, despite Fang Yuan employing his clan's formidable spear technique, he was repeatedly repelled by Jiang Chen!

At this juncture, on the stage, Fang Yuan assailed Jiang Chen like a possessed demon.

Jiang Chen, in contrast, persistently brandished his long sword, sending Fang Yuan hurtling away time and again.

After approximately a few dozen maneuvers.

Boom!

Fang Yuan was once again launched away by Jiang Chen, colliding into the barrier of the stage's formation.

Immediately thereafter, he collapsed to the ground, a flicker of bewilderment and disorientation surfacing in his bloodshot eyes.

He was nearing a state of existential crisis due to Jiang Chen's relentless assault.

But Fang Yuan still harbored an instinctual desire to charge at Jiang Chen once more.

However, his body spasmed violently, the enormous strength dissipating without a trace in an instant.

Overwhelming weakness and acute pain engulfed him like a tidal wave, completely submerging him.

The duration of his secret art's potency had expired!

'No!!'

Fang Yuan's lips quivered, he couldn't even muster the strength to shout, and could only vent his anger and frustration internally.

He strained.

Desperately attempting to circulate his Yuan Power, but his body felt as though it had been severed from his control, wholly unresponsive.

At this moment, a figure materialized before him - it was Jiang Chen.

"Are you alright?"

"Here's a healing pill, take it quickly!"

Jiang Chen proffered a bottle containing the pill, a look of concern etched on his face.

"No..."

"I haven't been defeated yet!"

Drawing a deep breath, the light in Fang Yuan's eyes slightly intensified. In a tremulous and incredibly stubborn voice, he declared his resilience.

In his perspective, Jiang Chen was gazing down from an elevated position, feigning generosity!

"You've already proven your mettle, why persist?"

Jiang Chen shook his head in resignation, "Since you're still unwilling to yield, I'll wait for you to recover."

Having said this, he stood up and retreated several meters, quietly observing Fang Yuan.

In his heart, he was filled with silent derision.

Naturally, Jiang Chen didn't want Fang Yuan to capitulate that easily either, as the 'fatal blow' intended for Fang Yuan had yet to be delivered!

Beneath the stage, seeing this, Ji Mingxiu and the others slightly furrowed their brows. However, they respected the choices of the two on stage and refrained from intervening.
