I, the Destined Villain, Start by Controlling the Saint

The all-round son of luckChen Ye was extremely composed.

He waited for three days.

Finally, a Prince from an Imperial Dynasty, after defeating twenty-six people in a row, still maintained a calm expression.

He appeared to be at ease when facing opponents.

He fought so well that none of the Prodigies dared to step forward.

”Who is he?”

”The Third Prince of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty, Ji Batian.”

”Legend has it that when he was born, Divine Weapons descended from the sky, and Dragons and Phoenixes came to congratulate him, accompanied by countless auspicious clouds and colorful lights. At thirteen, he was even taught the Dao by a Saint in a dream, learning seven peerless Divine Abilities.”

”...”

Many people exclaimed in admiration, praising his outstanding strength and extraordinary talent!

Ji Batian, standing on the stage, was extremely confident, even with a hint of arrogance.

Twenty-six consecutive victories right from the start, who can defeat me?!

Feeling the admiration and undisguised worship of countless female Prodigies below the stage, he felt his life had reached its Peak.

Is there anyone else!

Although he was very proud internally, he still had to maintain appearances.

Ji Batian said with a gentle smile, ”Is there any other Fellow Daoist willing to come up and spar with me? I hope you will not hesitate to offer your guidance.”

None of the Prodigies below dared to speak, all showing some fear.

However.

Just at this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly stood up.

It was Chen Ye!

He took a step, landing gracefully and comfortably on the arena.

With a relaxed and unburdened expression, he cupped his hands in greeting to the people below the stage.

The Aura he displayed was completely on par with Ji Batian’s, even subtly surpassing him.

What a powerful opponent! This was Ji Batian’s first reaction.

The Nangong family Elder came onto the stage to measure his age, and after confirming he met the requirements, asked no further questions.

Chen Ye said to Ji Batian, ”You are very strong.”

Ji Batian thought he was about to praise him, but Chen Ye’s next words instantly made his face turn ashen.

”I think if I defeat you soundly, perhaps everyone will remember my name.”

”I’m sorry to make you my stepping stone.”

Although trash-talking was common, this was the first time someone had done it like this.

Not just Ji Batian, even the spectators below were stunned.

How arrogant!

Chen Ying looked very satisfied.

As expected of my son, this fierce and overbearing nature is just like mine!

”Heh heh, I’d like to learn from Your Excellency’s brilliant moves,” Ji Batian said with suppressed anger.

He had held back his strength when fighting others, not aiming for a fatal blow.

But against Chen Ye, he only wanted to beat him until he couldn’t take care of himself.

Ji Batian assumed a combat stance, his robes moving without wind.

Streams of obscure, sharp, and fierce Qi surged out wildly.

Just by relying on his Aura, he tore the Void Realm apart inch by inch, and space trembled precariously.

In addition to this, he uncharacteristically drew out a crimson long spear, gripping it firmly as if rooted to the spot.

Chen Ye did this on purpose.

He knew that Ji Batian was holding back.

Only by provoking him from the start, forcing him to display his strongest power, and then defeating him in his most powerful state with the swiftest, thunderous strike.

Only then could he make everyone remember him firmly!

”Good, very good.”

”Let me see your full strength!”

Chen Ye shouted, almost excitedly.

Ji Batian couldn’t take it anymore. I’ll take you out in one move!

He chanted an incantation, fully revealing his Aura of the Late Stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

The spear tip gleamed coldly, and Ji Batian himself transformed into the long spear.

Man and spear became one!

Whoosh!

The spear tip, carrying the force of a thousand thunderbolts, actually left traces of afterimages in the Void Realm, even splitting the sky vertically in two with its Aura.

Some sharp-eyed individuals recognized this as Ji Batian’s killing move: Piercing the Clouds!

When he first entered the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, he used this move to defeat an enemy a whole Realm higher than him.

Now, in the Late Stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, the destructive power unleashed by this move at full strength was unimaginable.

The Nangong family Elder, seeing this, also landed beside the arena, ready to intervene at any time to prevent the aftermath of the battle from harming the innocent.

The piercing, sharp explosion made everyone’s hearts tremble.

Everyone wondered, could he really withstand it?

However.

Even facing such a killing move, Chen Ye remained expressionless.

He even said with a slight regret, ”If your strength is only like this, then my suggestion is to go back and practice for a few more years.”

Chen Ye stood with his hands behind his back, only raising his right hand.

He had no Magic Treasure; he relied on just one hand.

The spear tip drew closer and closer, about to tear Chen Ye apart.

This dumbfounded everyone; many people suddenly stood up, staring at the scene in shock.

Is he intentionally seeking death?

But what happened next was beyond everyone’s expectation.

Chen Ye’s right hand twisted slightly, and the originally smooth space instantly distorted.

And the cold gleam that was originally striking at him was directly twisted and deflected, passing him by.

Not only that.

He could even make space pause, as if solidified.

Taking advantage of this opportunity.

He actually grabbed the spear shaft, which had arrived in an instant and was moving at its limit, with his bare hands.

His movements were fluid and natural.

He wanted to show everyone Chen Ye’s terrifying strength in the most shocking way.

He stomped his right foot fiercely, and the ground cracked inch by inch, instantly engulfing Ji Batian’s attack.

At the same time, he grabbed Ji Batian’s shoulder and pressed lightly.

Ji Batian, who was previously infinitely powerful, became like a headless fly, plunging to the ground.

Before he could even get up, a trace of blood appeared on his neck.

A white sword blade rested against his neck, and Chen Ye’s voice came to his ear: ”You lost.”

Ji Batian was stunned; his attack was broken just like that?

The sharp sword blade was right at his neck; he had no time to react.

With his life in someone else’s hands, what more was there to say?

The Nangong family Elder came out and said, ”The victor has been decided, Ji Batian is completely defeated.”

It was only when this sentence sounded that everyone, as if waking from a dream, regained their senses.

”Defeated in one move?”

”So strong!”

”So he wasn’t boasting.”

”...”

Although this person was arrogant, he indeed had some strength.

After seeing Ji Batian off, Chen Ye still did not restrain himself.

He smiled, ”Is there anyone else?”

”I can compete with you in everything you are skilled at: Sword Dao, Talisman, Formation, even Alchemy or Artifact Refining, I can do it. As long as you can propose it, I will accompany you.”

He was still not satisfied; this time, he even expanded the scope of the competition.

Completely demonstrating that he was an all-around Genius!

He knew that the more astonishingly he performed, the more initiative he would have in the upcoming negotiations.

No one could refuse an all-around Genius, and the Nangong Family would be no exception.

He even thought of using his talent to make the Nangong Family release his mother.

This was no longer arrogance; it was boundless madness!

”Family Head, should we stop him?”

An Elder was very displeased with his extremely arrogant and self-serving act of changing the rules.

Young people should not be too impetuous!

Nangong Bo waved his hand and said, ”No matter, this was originally an opportunity for these juniors to show themselves. Let them play.”

”Yes, sir.”

Finally, someone who couldn’t stand it stepped forward.

This was a Sword Cultivator.

He said, ”I started practicing sword at three, comprehended Sword Intent at seven, and at nine, I could achieve sword following my heart and man-sword unity. I wonder if Your Excellency’s Sword Dao is as hard as your mouth.”

Chen Ye smiled slightly and invited him up.

”Where is your sword?”

”To deal with you, there’s no need to draw my sword.”

He didn’t even draw his sword; he simply stood with his hands behind his back, his right index and middle fingers together.

Using his fingers as a sword!

The Sword Cultivator felt insulted. Are you playing with me?

His killing intent was soaring; he knew the opponent was a master and launched a killing move immediately.

But it was clear that when his Sword Intent met Chen Ye’s, it was like an egg hitting a rock.

It shattered upon impact.

Another enemy defeated in one move.

The entire arena was silent; no one spoke, just staring blankly at the scene.

Still, others were unconvinced, taking turns to challenge him.

But one by one, they all lost.

Saber techniques, palm techniques, illusions, Alchemy, Artifact Refining, even obscure fields like Beast Taming, he was proficient in all of them.

At this moment, everyone somewhat believed that what he said was true.

He truly was a polymath!

This time, Chen Ye calmly uttered, ”Is there anyone else!”

A very calm sentence, yet its sound was like thunder.
