Chapter 100: Your Future is Forfeit, Remain Here
Slash!
The Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf's body stiffened abruptly, its head severing cleanly from its neck and tumbling to the earth.
This half-step Heavenly Origin realm beast had been thoroughly transformed into a lifeless husk.
It was at this exact moment.
At the periphery of the battlefield, within that secretive alcove, the vial of golden liquid gave off a sudden flash of illumination before abruptly dimming.
This was the unmistakable signal of the formation's collapse!
The vial, safeguarding the critical bloodline inheritance, had been constantly shielded by a formation.
This was precisely why Duan Ziming and the others had not dared to circumvent the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf in an attempt to pilfer the vial.
In this moment.
The defensive formation safeguarding the bloodline inheritance crumbled along with the demise of the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf.
The sudden surge of light immediately drew the gaze of all present.
Among them, Jiang Chen and Ye Fan were the closest to the source.
'That object... The qi and blood energy it radiates are immense!'
'With it in my grasp, I can surely flip the situation in my favor and obliterate Jiang Chen!'
A surge of ecstasy filled Ye Fan's heart, and without a moment's hesitation, he left Jiang Chen behind and darted towards the vial.
"Dream on!"
A sneer etched on his face, Jiang Chen also bolted towards the vial.
But in the span of a heartbeat.
Both of them halted simultaneously, their intentions shifting as they abruptly veered towards the cadaver of the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf.
'What!'
'He actually deciphered my plan and turned back as well!?'
Ye Fan was struck with profound shock.
In truth, he was well aware that he stood no chance against Jiang Chen in a race for the vial.
His primary objective had always been the carcass of the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf from the outset.
By absorbing the qi and blood energy from the Skywolf's corpse, he too could seize the upper hand.
Yet.
His intentions were laid bare.
His maneuvers, anticipated.
In the face-off against Jiang Chen, he found himself at a disadvantage once more!
The potent cocktail of rage, defiance, and humiliation within him simmered and amplified.
Nonetheless.
Ye Fan quickly reined in his emotions, maintaining his forward momentum.
The carcass of the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf was astoundingly resilient, not something that could be easily obliterated.
As long as he could make it to the Skywolf's remains, there was an opportunity to draw in the qi and blood energy!
At that juncture, he could potentially shift the balance in his favor.
At the very least.
He could secure his escape!
In this instant.
Both of them made a mad dash towards the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf, with Jiang Chen naturally possessing the superior speed.
Before long, Jiang Chen found himself standing before the corpse of the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf.
Despite the circumstances, Ye Fan's high-speed surge was impressively swift. After all, he had mastered numerous movement techniques, including some at the Heavenly Origin realm level!
In the next breath.
He was on the verge of reaching the remains of the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf.
But just at that moment.
'Moondust Ring, gather!'
Jiang Chen activated the Moondust Ring, encapsulating the carcass of the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf.
[Ding! You have successfully intercepted a portion of protagonist Ye Fan's opportunities. Ye Fan's Heavenly Fate Value has been reduced by 800 points!]
[Ding! You have acquired 1500 points of Villain Value!]
System prompts reverberated in Jiang Chen's mind.
'How can this be!'
'How can such a massive body simply be whisked away!'
Ye Fan was stricken with horror that bordered on despair, his face drained of color. He struggled to comprehend how the gigantic body of the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf could evaporate from sight without a trace.
He had made another miscalculation.
He hadn't seen it coming.
Jiang Chen was in possession of an upper-grade Heavenly Origin realm storage artifactthe Moondust Ring!
The Moondust Ring, boasting a capacity of ten thousand cubic metersapproximately 25 meters in width, 40 meters in length, and 10 meters in heightcould barely accommodate the body of the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf.
'Curse it!'
'What's my move now!'
Ye Fan felt as if the world around him was descending into shadows. His greatest beacon of hope had been extinguished.
"Hahaha!"
"Ye Fan, if you've any more tricks up your sleeve, now's the time to show them!"
Jiang Chen stood amidst a sky ablaze, his cold smile directed at Ye Fan, "So, are you going to opt for flight again this time?"
As soon as these words were uttered.
It was as if a dagger had been thrust into Ye Fan's heart, each word twisting the blade with brutal precision.
"This vendetta, I, Ye Fan, vow to settle in due time!"
Ye Fan's face contorted in anguish, his eyes brimming with the intensity of blood-red tears!
He didn't want to flee!
Yet, his sole chance for survival now lay in evasion.
Without a shred of hesitation.
Ye Fan instantly employed all his self-damaging power-enhancing secret arts, his speed soaring as he bolted towards the exit!
"Your future is forfeit, remain here!"
Jiang Chen's cold smirk remained as he spurred the Black Crystal Sky Piercing Shuttle into pursuit.
"Everyone, halt that scoundrel Ye Fan!"
Duan Ziming bellowed his command, urging all present to collectively obstruct Ye Fan!
The Ice Heart School, having been rescued by Jiang Chen, and the Floating Spirit Sect, who held a cordial rapport with the Starry Abyss Sect, joined forces with the Purple Bamboo Spirit Mountain, who dared not resist due to their precarious and feeble standing.
And so.
The four major sects joined forces once more, but this time, their combined might was directed at halting Ye Fan!
In truth.
Their Fate Values were abysmally low.
According to the original narrative, they were all doomed to perish under the rending claws of the Extreme Wind Splitting Skywolf, their treasures inevitably falling into Ye Fan's grasp.
But now.
Jiang Chen's arrival had rewritten their destinies.
They had survived.
They had turned against Ye Fan.
Perhaps, this was a form of karmic justice wrought by the unseen machinations of fate.
"Clear the path!"
Like a man bereft of the fear of death, Ye Fan hurtled frantically towards the exit.
In the following moment.
Boom!
He collided headlong into the barrier conjured by Duan Ziming and the others!
Crash!
The barrier disintegrated.
Duan Ziming and the others were hurled backwards, their attempt at obstruction thwarted.
But just in that fraction of a second.
Jiang Chen had already taken a firm stand, blocking Ye Fan's path!
"Do you wish to live?"
"Why not try crawling between my legs?"
From his elevated vantage point, Jiang Chen looked down at Ye Fan, his words laden with derision.
Ye Fan remained wordless, his gaze lowered, fists clenched, his entire being radiating an overpowering aura, seemingly poised for a life-or-death struggle at any instant.
But within his heart.
It brimmed with unending humiliation and defiance!
"Hahaha!"
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen was immediately overcome with hearty laughter.
In the next instant.
He turned to Duan Ziming, performing a respectful gesture: "Senior Brother, could you do me the favor of retrieving that bottle?"
"Of course!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Duan Ziming nodded, darted over to secure the vial containing the golden liquid, and passed it on to Jiang Chen.
Throughout the proceedings.
Ye Fan's eyes blazed crimson!
Had it not been for Jiang Chen.
That golden, enigmatic bloodline would have belonged to him, Ye Fan!
Every individual present would have served as his, Ye Fan's stepping stone!
But now.
He could do nothing but watch impotently as the treasure fell into Jiang Chen's possession.
In this moment.
Ye Fan felt as though he had lost something of paramount importance in his life, his heart aching to the brink of rupture!
Simultaneously!
[Ding! You have successfully intercepted a part of the protagonist Ye Fan's opportunities, Ye Fan's Heavenly Fate Value has decreased by 1000 points!]
[Ding! You have successfully impaired the protagonist Ye Fan's mental state, Ye Fan's Heavenly Fate Value has been reduced by 200 points!]
[Ding! You have accrued 2200 points of Villain Value!]
Jiang Chen cradled the bottle in his hand, sensing the pulsating power within, while system prompts resonated in his mind.
Shortly thereafter.
He directed his gaze towards Ye Fan, engaging the Villain's Eye!
[Name: Ye Fan
Realm: Middle-stage Spiritual Awakening
Status: Protagonist
Heavenly Fate Value: 2068/2068]
In this round.
Ye Fan's Heavenly Fate Value had been depleted by 2700 points!
With an additional 1500 points, he could claim Ye Fan's life directly!
'He must be vanquished today!'
'Otherwise, once he escapes and gains the protection of the Azure Jade Sect, his strength could flourish.'
With these thoughts coursing through his mind, Jiang Chen took a step forward, his hands clasped behind his back.
This step.
It caused Ye Fan's heart to contract with dread!
