Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 343: Stopping Mo Hao, Grinding Down His Heavenly Fate Value
🕑 Added 2023-09-09 21:05:26 +0000 UTC
"Mo Hao, you're a bit strange," said Shangguan Ning, feigning bewilderment as she followed Jiang Chen's directives.
"Why all the theatrics and showboating? Is it some sort of special hobby for you to be so stubborn about it?"
"However, you need to understand the current situation in the Immortal Martial Continent. It's extremely dire. We must do everything in our power to eliminate the demon race. Every second this war drags on, the Immortal Martial Continent suffers significantly!"
"So, I'm sorry," she continued, "but I can't accommodate your request. If I encounter members of the demon race, I won't hesitate to kill them swiftly."
"As for your peculiar interests, feel free to indulge in them once this war is over," she concluded, flatly rejecting Mo Hao's request.
"Heh heh!" Mo Hao responded with an indifferent smile.
"Forget it. There are many things beyond your imagination or belief."
"Even if I die, don't bother helping me," he added, before flying off into the distance, his face utterly expressionless.
"This younger generation, why are you all so odd?" Shangguan Ning mused, her tone thick with confusion.
"Up next, we're expecting three demons from the Transcendence realm leading thirty to forty thousand of their kin. Among those three, one is at the Late-stage Transcendence realm and two are at the Middle-stage. You're just going to up and leave? You think I can handle this alone?"
"Mo Hao, you nearly lost your life just now. Don't tell me you're scared?" she added, her voice tinged with doubt and a trace of anger.
Mo Hao leaving? That absolutely couldn't happen!
Stop him, and continue to weaken his Heavenly Fate Value!
Originally, emotionally overwhelmed, Mo Hao had no inclination to stay, particularly not next to 'Jiang Chen's Master', who kept snatching his kills and sabotaging his elaborate showboating schemes.
Yet, Jiang Chen's provocation kindled a spark of inspiration in Mo Hao's mind.
The remaining three demon race teams were bound to arrive soon.
This might actually present a golden opportunity for him to stage a performance.
Given the combat prowess of 'Jiang Chen's Master', although she managed to ambush and kill Ben Man, a Late-stage Transcendence realm demon, it seemed unlikely she could take on the three upcoming Transcendence realm demon race powerhouses.
In such a scenario, Mo Hao would seize the opportunity to dart across the battlefield, pull off some extraordinary feats, and truly make a grand spectacle.
"Fine! If you put it that way, then I'll fight alongside you once more!" Mo Hao declared, his expression hardening into resolve.
Unbeknownst to him, Jiang Chen had already calculated everything—his combat power was at the Nirvana Peering realm!
"Good. Now go heal yourself. Take these pills," Jiang Chen said, sending a bottle of pills flying toward Mo Hao with a wave of his hand.
Having killed numerous Transcendence realm cultivators and members of the demon race, including figures like Sun Ji, a major dandy, he had amassed a considerable stockpile of pills.
Most of these were for healing and recovery.
A smaller portion consisted of pills for cultivation and body-refining, along with other assorted elixirs—some of which were top-grade in quality.
Jiang Chen planned to put them to good use when the opportunity presented itself.
Next, 'Jiang Chen's Master' and Mo Hao flew into the giant sinkhole, where they encountered a large group of isolated inhumans.
"Thank you, my Lady, for saving our lives!" All the inhumans offered their highest respects to Jiang Chen.
They also extended courtesy to Mo Hao, although it was noticeably less effusive than what they had shown 'Jiang Chen's Master'.
In his sea of consciousness, Jiang Chen's mouth twitched upon hearing them address him as 'my Lady'. Despite the fact that his form remained hazy and indistinct when posing as 'Jiang Chen's Master', his voice still resembled that of Shangguan Ning, a female, and there was nothing he could do about it now.
"Please rise, everyone," Shangguan Ning's exceptionally gracious voice echoed. "Slaying demons and banishing evil is our bounden duty!"
Overwhelmed with gratitude, the inhumans in the giant sinkhole offered another round of bows.
"As for this immortal tool..." Jiang Chen had Shangguan Ning pose the question that puzzled him, gesturing toward the nameless immortal tool in his hand.
Naturally, the inhumans in the giant sinkhole had answers to provide.
After a round of divine sense communication, Jiang Chen discovered that the very source of the depletion of Spiritual Qi in the Everflowing Truth Northern Domain was, astonishingly, this nameless immortal sword he held!
"So it's you! No wonder we couldn't pinpoint the cause of the Spiritual Qi depletion in the Everflowing Truth Northern Domain; this location is simply too remote!" Jiang Chen muttered to himself, his eyes lighting up with sudden understanding as he looked at the immortal sword in his hand.
"Hum, hum." The nameless immortal sword let out a faint hum, as if offering its apologies.
"Next, we're facing an even fiercer battle, so stay by my side," Shangguan Ning conveyed to the immortal sword through divine sense.
The sword offered no resistance, even emitting a hum imbued with a hint of excitement.
'Hehe, excellent,' Jiang Chen thought, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
Winning the allegiance of a sentient immortal tool is no small achievement. Fortunately, he possessed the Heaven-Defying Fate Changer Void Tribulation Soul, whose overpowering charisma had directly facilitated this successful 'abduction'.
Barring any unforeseen events, this immortal sword was set to be his weapon henceforth.
'Ah! I could have had the opportunity to possess that immortal tool as well!' Mo Hao, standing to the side, looked visibly disgruntled. He turned his head away, finding it unbearable to look at the silver immortal sword any longer.
"Mo Hao, quickly restore your Yuan Power," Shangguan Ning said, then the tone of her voice became somewhat serious. "I have a premonition that the demon race's army will arrive soon!"
"Mm," Mo Hao grunted in acknowledgment, taking the pills before following an inhuman cultivator to a secluded spot to begin restoring his Yuan Power.
Jiang Chen likewise found a place to recover his Yuan Power.
Both were unscathed, only their Yuan Power had been depleted. Thanks to the pills, they quickly returned to their peak condition.
Just then, a cacophony of thunderous noises split the sky.
Looking up, Jiang Chen saw innumerable streaks of black light, enveloped in thick smoke, spanning the sky and hurtling toward the giant sinkhole.
As anticipated, the final three demon race legions of this region had all arrived!
At the forefront was a Late-stage Transcendence realm demon from the Devouring Flame Demon Clan, followed by two other Transcendence realm demons from the Beast Taming Demon Clan.
The Beast Taming Demon Clan typically controlled exceedingly powerful demonic beasts, generally within the same realm as their own.
In other words, factoring in the demonic beasts of the two beast taming demons, the approaching demon race army boasted five Transcendence realm combatants.
At that moment, the formidable demon race army advanced from three directions, as if determined to obliterate the world itself!
Faced with the hordes of demonic entities, the inhumans turned pale, their palms and backs damp with cold sweat.
All eyes were on Jiang Chen, their hopes resting on this 'Immortal Martial Lord's Master'.
Mo Hao, in this context, was seen merely as an aide.
Simultaneously, a voice resounded outside the giant sinkhole, dripping with malevolence. "I smell it! The stench of death!"
"Ben Man and the others were completely wiped out here!"
"We've located them; the culprits are inside that giant sinkhole!"
"Are they staying here out of arrogance, or are they aware they can't flee and simply await their doom?"
The three demon race divisions converged, and the leading Transcendence realm powerhouse from the Devouring Flame Demon Clan unleashed a series of chilling laughs as he eyed Jiang Chen and the rest.
The Devouring Flame Demon Clan powerhouse, Xun Tian, had flame-red hair that seemed to pierce the heavens, a rugged visage, and eyes constantly ablaze.
"Hmph! They're merely lambs awaiting slaughter," sneered one of the two Transcendence realm powerhouses from the Beast Taming Demon Clan, oozing contempt. "Even if they managed to take down that bumbling Ben Man, they stand no chance against us!"
"Absolutely, they must've relied on devious tricks to eliminate that fool Ben Man," concurred the other, his tone dripping with derision.
"Attack!" commanded Xun Tian, his voice filled with cold authority. "Capture these humans alive if you can!"
"Merely dying after killing so many of us would be far too lenient!" he added, his words seething with malevolence, as the demonic army surged toward Jiang Chen and his companions.
