Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate Chapter 370: Do You Still Wish to Live?

As Bo Luncang's meteor hammer hurtled toward him, Sun Tianlin frantically deployed his defensive measures while bellowing, "Save me!" His thin-bladed Immortal Tool with a long handle danced through the air, forming an impenetrable shield.

He had exhausted every trick in his arsenal, well aware that surviving one or two of Bo Luncang's attacks might leave him injured but still breathing. Yet he knew that to repeatedly resist would undoubtedly seal his fate.

Therefore, Sun Tianlin had no choice but to pin his hopes on Jiang Chen.

'You don't trust me at all, yet you want me to save you? Fine, let's deal with this demon first, and then we'll discuss your motives.' The corner of Jiang Chen's mouth lifted as he activated his Nine-Pointed Radiant Star Ring to boost his speed. He reached Bo Luncang's side just in the nick of time.

'No! How is he this fast?' Bo Luncang was so stunned that he felt as if his lungs might burst. He had ambushed Sun Tianlin without warning, yet Jiang Chen had managed to intervene right on time!

What terrified Bo Luncang even more was what happened next.

He had already committed fully to his attack, aiming to strike down Sun Tianlin. With no time left to change his move, he was forced to rely on his less potent defensive tactics.

Yet, could such ordinary defenses ever stand a chance against Jiang Chen's silver immortal sword?

In a mere moment, Bo Luncang unleashed thousands of layers of defensive barriers, each one effortlessly capable of repelling thousands of attacks from a Peak-stage Transcendence realm powerhouse.

However, with a swift slice, Jiang Chen's silver immortal sword effortlessly cut through all those defensive layers, much like slicing through tofu, and landed directly on the nape of Bo Luncang's neck.

Splat!

Blood sprayed, mingling with Bo Luncang's Nether Soul Crystal.

'Secret Art - Soulless Body Burial!' Far more adept than Bo Lang in the life-saving secret art, Bo Luncang activated it immediately. He aimed to separate his soul from his body and take refuge in his Nether Soul Crystal.

However, Jiang Chen had come prepared.

'Bright Spirit Pure Heart Art, Killing All Souls Under Heaven!' Borrowing the soul power from Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, Jiang Chen unleashed a devastating soul-attack technique in an instant.

An unseen torrent of soul power slammed mercilessly into Bo Luncang's fleeing soul.

"Aagh!" A cacophony of inaudible, agonizing screams reverberated as Bo Luncang's manifested soul quivered violently, completely disarrayed.

Jiang Chen seized this moment to swing his sword, channeling a potent soul force around the blade's light, which pierced directly through Bo Luncang's trembling soul.

In an instant, Bo Luncang suffered another devastating blow. Yet, he retaliated with another attack, emitting a spine-chilling scream: "Heaven-Splitting Transformation!"

Astoundingly, his entire soul shattered into numerous fragments, which morphed into strands of bizarre soul power that surged toward both Jiang Chen and Sun Tianlin.

Simultaneously, one fragment of his shattered soul darted toward the Nether Soul Crystal.

"It's a soul poison. Once contaminated, it's extremely difficult to cleanse," warned Nangong Wan's voice. "Jiang Chen, quickly sheathe your sword and evade."

"Nine-Pointed Radiant Star Ring!" Jiang Chen accelerated instantly, swiftly sheathing his silver Immortal Sword and creating distance between himself and the attack.

Sun Tianlin, however, couldn't dodge quickly enough.

Having already withstood Bo Luncang's full-force assault, he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot, his strength completely sapped.

How could he possibly avoid such an insidious soul attack?

The strands of peculiar soul power descended on Sun Tianlin, merging directly into him.

"Ahh!" Sun Tianlin screamed in anguish, his body convulsing as he plummeted to the ground.

Meanwhile, Bo Luncang's soul attack pursued Jiang Chen like tenacious maggots burrowing into bone.

Yet, Jiang Chen was simply too swift; the odd strands of soul power couldn't catch up with him at all.

"It's over!" Jiang Chen declared, circling back to fly once again into the vicinity of Bo Luncang's Nether Soul Crystal.

Just as the fragment of Bo Luncang's soul was on the verge of entering the crystal, he saw Jiang Chen rapidly flying back and all hope evaporated.

In the next instant, an overwhelmingly potent soul attack hit Bo Luncang's remaining soul fragment, obliterating it entirely.

Whoosh! The peculiar soul powers Bo Luncang had unleashed earlier transformed back into regular spiritual energy, flowing swiftly into the Nether Soul Crystal like multiple rivers converging into the sea.

Even the spiritual energies that had penetrated but remained unused in Sun Tianlin's body were also drawn out.

'Wordless Heavenly Jade, Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo!' Jiang Chen seized Bo Luncang's Nether Soul Crystal, simultaneously absorbing his qi and blood, as well as his cultivation base.

In a mere instant, Jiang Chen's cultivation base surged once more. He was now nearing the Middle-stage Nirvana Peering realm.

"Thank, thank you, Daoist friend!" Sun Tianlin rose from the ground and cupped his hands towards Jiang Chen, his face still marked by lingering pain.

"You're welcome. I'll still need the assistance of Daoist friends like you to reach the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star," Jiang Chen responded dispassionately.

"In that regard, it's my duty," said Sun Tianlin. While he still harbored doubts that Jiang Chen could be his son's killer, he didn't dare act rashly, especially facing a Jiang Chen now at the Middle-stage Nirvana Peering realm.

Furthermore, Jiang Chen had saved his life, which somewhat eased his internal suspicions.

Taking various factors into account, Sun Tianlin promptly agreed.

"The demon army still has numerous remnants scattered throughout the Immortal Martial Continent," Jiang Chen nodded slightly. "We should deal with them first."

"Right!" Sun Tianlin responded. "What about the demon spatial channel? Could they send reinforcements?"

"Not for the time being. I've already destroyed their spatial channel in the Vibrant Blaze Domain," Jiang Chen shook his head. "Go ahead; I'll contact you later."

With that, Jiang Chen unleashed his astounding speed and vanished beyond the horizon.

"Could it really be him?" Sun Tianlin stared at the spot where Jiang Chen had vanished. After hesitating for a moment, he pulled out a compass-like object—a lower-grade immortal tool of the Nirvana Peering rank, the Dragon Phoenix Heavenly Compass. Holding it in his hands, Sun Tianlin waved and captured a trace of Jiang Chen's aura from the air. Then he took off, flying in the opposite direction.

He traveled a considerable distance, stopping only when he was utterly certain that Jiang Chen couldn't detect him using divine sense.

"Phew..." Sun Tianlin exhaled a turbid breath, then channeled his Immortal Yuan Power into the Dragon Phoenix Heavenly Compass to initiate a cause-and-effect detection technique.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz." The Dragon Phoenix Heavenly Compass tremored momentarily before settling down, unable to reveal anything.

"Failed! It really is him! He killed my sons—my only three sons! Scum, bastard, unforgivable!" Sun Tianlin's eyes nearly burst with fury, bloodshot veins creeping across his eyeballs as his face twisted with malevolence.

Just at that moment, Jiang Chen's indifferent voice unexpectedly resonated from behind Sun Tianlin. "Oh? You've discovered it? I didn't expect you to possess such a treasure."

"Ah—!!" Startled to the point where his soul nearly disintegrated, Sun Tianlin couldn't comprehend how Jiang Chen's voice could emanate from behind him when no one was there.

In a panic, Sun Tianlin lunged forward, not pausing to consider escape.

However, Jiang Chen's voice materialized directly in front of him, "Planning to flee?"

"What? How can this be?" Sun Tianlin abruptly stopped, staring ahead in utter despair. Despite frantically employing his divine sense to scan his surroundings, he couldn't detect Jiang Chen's presence.

"Stop searching; you won't find me," Jiang Chen's voice echoed once more. "I have but one question for you. Do you still wish to live?"
