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

Chapter 52: What? They're Nothing but Pebbles



Chapter 52: What? They're Nothing but Pebbles

Pondering this,

Lin Feng promptly sprang into action, subtly altering the direction in which he was headed.

It wasn't that he didn't want to make an abrupt turn.

If he were to execute a wide turn, Zhou Ruiyu tailing him could potentially close the gap.

The chase persisted.

Lin Feng led the way, with Zhou Ruiyu hot on his heels.

As for Jiang Xingtai, he trailed further behind.

Thus,

He reached out to Zhou Ruiyu directly, obtained Lin Feng's current trajectory, and identified the most direct route to pursue him.

Regarding Jiang Chen,

He swiftly soared towards the location where Lin Feng might have concealed the spoils.

In no time,

Jiang Chen reached the site where Zhou Yihe had met his demise!

"Next, search along this path!"

Jiang Chen surveyed the surroundings and focused his thoughts, channeling his divine sense into the Spirit Condensation Bianstone Jade before emanating it outward.

Though the Spirit Condensation Bianstone Jade was merely a treasure of the Spiritual Awakening realm,

It still possessed some supplementary effects for the Mysterious Platform realm.

Amplified by the Spirit Condensation Bianstone Jade, Jiang Chen's divine sense evidently grew more potent!

Jiang Chen sensed that he could now pierce through numerous less-dense soils and rocks.

Without delay,

He sustained this enhanced divine sense, which surpassed that of an ordinary Mysterious Platform realm practitioner.

Jiang Chen scoured an area within a five-kilometer radius but discovered nothing.

Only then,

He traced the path Lin Feng had taken during his inspection, searching as he went.

At present,

Jiang Chen's divine sense spanned a radius of one kilometer, yielding a diameter of two kilometers, enabling him to perceive everything it swept over.

Numerous concealed locations were directly exposed by his divine sense!

He even detected a nest of rat demon beasts concealed underground at a depth of several tens of meters.

With the swiftness of the Mysterious Platform realm,

In the blink of an eye,

Jiang Chen arrived at the site where Lin Feng had lingered, according to his estimations.

Progressing smoothly,

He promptly uncovered the crevice in the mountainside where Lin Feng had stashed his cache!

"Could it be hidden here?"

"Indeed, this is an excellent hiding place!"

"Even an ordinary Mysterious Platform realm's divine sense would struggle to detect this spot without meticulously combing through every inch."

"But if the loot isn't here, then where did he conceal it?"

After examining the crevice in the mountain, Jiang Chen proceeded to investigate the surrounding area.

Beginning at the mountain fissure, he expanded his search radius in a circular pattern towards the surroundings!

Before long,

He reached a riverbank with rapidly flowing water.

"So it was here!"

"He concealed the loot within a hard, dense stone and placed it in the river! What an ingenious hiding spot!"

"Regrettably, Lin Feng, you've lost the protection of the protagonist status, and you've encountered me..."

With a sweeping motion, Jiang Chen employed his potent Yuan Power to part the river water, unveiling a direct path to the heart of the riverbed.

One step at a time.

Jiang Chen made his way to the core of the riverbed and procured the storage rings embedded in the stone.

Shortly thereafter.

He restored everything to its original state.

"Next up, Lin Feng, I'll be waiting for you!"

Jiang Chen's lips formed a frosty smile as he vanished into the dense forest.

Time ambled on.

Roughly fifteen minutes later.

A lithe figure darted through the mountainous woods and sheer cliffs, leaving an extended trail of afterimages while piercing through the whispering wind!

It was none other than Lin Feng!

Trailing him closely was Zhou Ruiyu.

Bringing up the rear was Jiang Xingtai.

"You fiend!"

"Halt right there!"

"Today, I'll ensure you're ground to dust!"

Zhou Ruiyu's eyes were bloodshot and brimming with fury as he bellowed in madness.

"Hmph!"

"A mere decrepit relic who has pointlessly lingered for countless years seeks to kill me? Keep dreaming!"

Lin Feng retorted, as a glint of excitement flickered in his eyes.

This is it!

The location where the spoils are concealed!

As he approached the river, he promptly dove down, plummeting into the water like a soaring spear!

"What?"

"What is this kid up to!?"

"Does he believe he can elude pursuit by submerging into the river? Is he a fool?"

Zhou Ruiyu was dumbfounded for a moment, then hastily followed suit!

Boom!

A massive surge of water erupted as the river suddenly burst.

Lin Feng was spotted gripping a large boulder and, after somersaulting in mid-air, landed on the bank. Astonishingly, he chose not to flee!

Witnessing this scene,

Zhou Ruiyu promptly halted as well.

Lin Feng's peculiar behavior left him uncertain whether it was a trap or not.

At that moment,

Jiang Xingtai arrived from behind, joining Zhou Ruiyu to encircle Lin Feng between them.

"Hehehehe!"

"Two old fools!"

Grasping the boulder, Lin Feng released a low, menacing chuckle. "Today, I shall vanquish you both and claim all of your belongings!"

"What?"

"Finish us both?"

"Hahaha, Lin Feng, you must have succumbed to Qi Deviation and lost your mind entirely!"

"How long do you believe you can maintain this explosive-type secret art?"

Zhou Ruiyu scoffed repeatedly, brimming with disdain.

Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, he couldn't help but question if his ears were deceiving him.

Just moments before, Lin Feng had been frantically fleeing, only to then approach the river, pick up a stone, and believe he could reverse the tide?

Did he mistake that stone for an immortal one?

"Lin Feng!"

"You mad and ruthless fool, cease your absurd ramblings!"

"Today, witness as I sever your tendons, peel your skin, and shatter your bones, subjecting you to agony until you yearn for death!"

Jiang Xingtai's expression darkened, and his eyes blazed with murderous intent!

"Hehe!"

"I knew you wouldn't believe me!"

"So, allow me to demonstrate my true strength, and then plunge you into despair!"

A cold smile graced Lin Feng's face as he reached into the cavity at the base of the stone with his right hand, and then extracted something.

"Take a look at this!"

Lin Feng lifted his right hand, which held a multitude of storage rings.

"These are the storage rings belonging to my grandson and the guards!"

Upon seeing the remnants of Zhou Yihe and others, Zhou Ruiyu's expression instantly turned to one of sorrow and fury!

"Storage rings?"

"Do you truly believe you can change the outcome with merely these storage rings?"

Jiang Xingtai spoke icily, then glanced at Zhou Ruiyu. "Or is it possible that you provided your grandson with some extraordinary treasure?"

"No, it's nothing of the sort."

"Merely some spiritual plants and medicinal pills."

"Though numerous, they serve no purpose in a battle!"

Zhou Ruiyu shook his head and then sneered at Lin Feng. "You dare to feign strength; just watch as I flay you alive!"

No sooner had he spoken.

Zhou Ruiyu charged towards Lin Feng!

"Hmph!"

"Allow me to demonstrate my true prowess!"

Lin Feng lightly tapped his feet and deftly evaded to the side. Simultaneously, his divine sense penetrated each of the storage rings.

However!

"What...what is this?!"

"They're nothing but pebbles?!"

"My spiritual plants! Where on earth have my spiritual plants gone?!"

Gazing at the storage rings brimming with pebbles, Lin Feng was utterly dumbstruck!
