41: I changed my mind

"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have completely defeated Lin Fan, the child of destiny, destroying all of his dignity and Dao Heart, leaving him beyond redemption!"

"Villain Mission Stage Three: Destiny Severed, Mission Objective One completed!"

"Ding! Detecting that Su Qinger, the Daughter of Destiny, has completely fallen for the host and willingly entered your embrace! Villain Mission Stage Two completion: 100%!"

"Villain Mission Stage Three: Destiny Severed, Mission Objective Two completed!"

"Mission rewards are being distributed..."

"Congratulations, host, for obtaining 20,000 Villain Points! Luck Index +1000! Special Physique: great emperor dao bone!"

A series of System prompts rang out in Jiang Chen's mind.

A warm and boundless power appeared out of thin air, surging into his limbs and bones, beginning to transform his foundation.

Jiang Chen could clearly feel that every inch of his bones was humming, becoming even more crystal clear, with faint Dao runes circulating upon them.

A boundless power, far exceeding anything before, awakened within Jiang Chen's body.

The smile on his lips deepened.

The great emperor dao bone was in his hands, but he did not choose to fuse with it immediately.

He glanced at Lin Fan, who was slumped on the ground like a pile of mud, barely breathing, and his eyes no longer held any interest.

A leek that had been squeezed dry of all its value was no longer worth another look from him.

Jiang Chen was even too lazy to kill him, letting him live or die on his own.

He might even be able to harvest him a couple more times.

Jiang Chen turned and prepared to leave.

The entire square remained immersed in the shocking scene that had just unfolded, utterly silent.

Everyone was stunned by Jiang Chen's crushing strength and his cold, cruel words.

This Saint's strength was unfathomable, and his Heart-Nature was even more ruthless!

Just as Jiang Chen turned, an unexpected change occurred!

Lin Fan, who had been like a dead dog, suddenly burst forth with a final glimmer of madness and venom in his eyes!

He didn't know where he got the strength, but he suddenly leaped up from the ground, burning his last Divine Soul and vital blood, transforming into an extremely fast bloody streak of light!

His target was not Jiang Chen!

It was the direction of the Nangong Family on the high platform!

"Jiang Chen! You stole my beloved! I will also make you taste the feeling of losing your beloved!"

Lin Fan's hoarse, mad roar echoed throughout the entire venue!

He knew he couldn't kill Jiang Chen, but he wanted to destroy what Jiang Chen cared about most!

Nangong Mingyue! Jiang Chen's fiancée!

This sudden turn of events happened too quickly!

So fast that no one had time to react!

No one could have imagined that a person whose Dao Heart was shattered and whose life force was exhausted could still unleash such a terrifying attack!

This attack condensed all of his resentment and unwillingness, and its speed was truly caught everyone off guard.

"Mingyue, be careful!"

Nangong Zhuo's expression drastically changed, and he was about to make a move at the first instant.

"How dare you, brat!"

Jiang Shengtian also roared in fury, and a terrifying pressure descended with a crash.

However, it was still a step too late.

Lin Fan's attack was too fast, too sudden.

Nangong Mingyue on the high platform felt a warning sign the moment the bloody light appeared.

Her clear, cold eyes narrowed, and a chilling Qi surged around her. A crystalline ice shield instantly formed in front of her.

At the same time, an ancient treasure mirror flew out from her body, blocking in front of her.

But she was, after all, only at the Sixth Realm Nascent Soul, and Lin Fan's desperate attack was already like an Eighth Realm Mahayana!

"Bang!"

The ice shield only lasted for less than a breath before it shattered with a boom.

Subsequently, the light of the treasure mirror blocking in front of Nangong Mingyue also began to dim rapidly, cracks appeared, and it fell to the ground.

The bloody claw shadow tore through her protective spiritual light, and it was about to strike her chest.

Nangong Mingyue's pupils constricted, and in the nick of time, her body shifted half an inch to the side.

"Tear!"

A soft sound.

The bloody claw grazed her shoulder, leaving a deep gash on her light blue palace dress, and a few strands of blood tainted by Devilish Qi seeped out from her fair skin.

Although it was only a superficial wound, a cold Devilish Qi penetrated her body through the wound.

Nangong Mingyue let out a muffled grunt, blood spilled from the corner of her mouth, her face instantly turned pale, and her body staggered back several steps, swaying and almost falling.

"You're courting death!"

Nangong Zhuo and Jiang Shengtian roared in unison.

Two destructive pressures, like the sky falling and the earth collapsing, crushed towards Lin Fan!

They were truly moved to kill!

Lin Fan dared to injure their daughter and future daughter-in-law right in front of them! This was the most blatant provocation against them!

Facing the wrath of the two powerful experts, Lin Fan laughed maniacally.

"Hahaha... Jiang Chen... do you see... you too... are just like me..."

He succeeded!

He injured Nangong Mingyue!

Even if he died, it was worth it!

However, just as the two terrifying pressures were about to crush Lin Fan into dust.

A voice, devoid of any emotion, rang out.

"Stop."

It was Jiang Chen.

He had turned around at some point.

That handsome face, always with a playful smile, was now covered with a thick layer of frost.

His eyes were no longer cynical, nor were they calmly in control.

They were a dead, bottomless pitch black.

When he saw the dazzling crimson on Nangong Mingyue's shoulder, a boundless rage ignited in the depths of that darkness.

Pure fury and killing intent soared to the heavens!

Nangong Zhuo and Jiang Shengtian's movements stopped abruptly, and they looked at Jiang Chen with some confusion.

"Father, Uncle Nangong, leave this matter to me."

Jiang Chen's voice was terrifyingly calm.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze falling on the wildly laughing Lin Fan.

"System." Jiang Chen called out in his mind.

"host, this System is here to report!"

"I ask you, if I want to kill him now, will there be any repercussions?"

"host, please rest assured."

The System's voice also, uncharacteristically, carried a hint of seriousness.

"The Luck of Lin Fan, the child of destiny, has been completely stripped away, and the Heavenly Dao's protection has vanished. He is now, in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, no different from an ant on the side of the road. Killing him will not only be blameless but will also be meritorious."

Having received a positive answer, Jiang Chen finally felt relieved.

He walked step by step, returning towards Lin Fan.

With each step he took, the Qi on his body ascended and transformed at a terrifying speed.

A dark Qi, far purer, more ancient, and more... heart-palpitating than Lin Fan's Devilish Qi, awakened within his body.

"Lin Fan."

Jiang Chen spoke softly, but his voice was like it came from beneath ten thousand years of profound ice.

"You could have kept a dog's life, lingering on..."

"But you shouldn't have, under any circumstances..."

"Injured her."

"Now, I've changed my mind."

"You... deserve to die!"

As the last word fell, monstrous demonic flames erupted from beneath Jiang Chen's feet!
