Great Villain: Starting by Humiliating the Son of the Heavenly Fate-Chapter 369: A Bad Day for Demons—and Mo Hao

Meanwhile, Mo Hao was grinning from ear to ear. He knew just how strong this silver true dragon really was. She could take on two enemies at her level without breaking a sweat—and if you threw in one more at the Middle-stage Transcendence realm? She could probably handle that too.

With her around, Mo Hao figured the rest of the demon army wasn't that scary anymore.

That thought pumped him up. He felt like now was his chance to strut his stuff—carefully, of course. He'd pretend to be all cool and powerful, pick off a couple of Transcendence realm demons to boost his image, and then team up with the dragon to wipe out the rest. If everything went according to plan, he'd walk away looking like a total hero.

Even better, he was hoping to win some points with the dragon herself—impress her enough that she'd actually start to like him.

But high above it all, hidden on top of Ying Luo's head, Jiang Chen didn't even flinch.

He wasn't worried in the slightest. His strength had already broken into the Early-stage Nirvana Peering realm. On top of that, he still had plenty of Villain Value stored up, extra cultivation power, and leftover qi and blood energy tucked away inside the Wordless Heavenly Jade.

If he wanted to, he could snap his fingers and wipe out every demon and beast down there—just like that.

As for Mo Hao trying to act all flashy and important?

Yeah, no chance.

Actually, the last time Mo Hao tried to show off—when they ran into the second wave of demon troops—it totally backfired. Jiang Chen hijacked the moment again, and Mo Hao lost 1,500 points of his Heavenly Fate Value.

Jiang Chen, on the other hand, walked away with another 3,000 Villain Value points in the bag.

...

Deep inside the demon army, a Late-stage Transcendence realm demon pulled out a small crystal shard. He poured the latest info about Ying Luo into it, his face serious.

Then, after forming a few strange hand signs, he activated a secret technique. The Myriad Demons Sky Piercing Mirror locked onto the shard instantly.

In the blink of an eye, a faint image of the mirror appeared. It sucked in the crystal like it was drinking water—then vanished just as fast, like a soap bubble popping.

...

Back on Ying Luo's head, Jiang Chen heard Nangong Wan's voice in his mind.

"The demons are collecting data on Ying Luo," she said calmly. "They're clearly being careful because she's a true dragon."

"The demon race always acts this way when it comes to true dragons. They don't pick fights without thinking it through."

"But... if a true dragon's bloodline is thin, and she's far from the dragon clan's protection, it's a different story."

"And the truth is, this invasion of the Immortal Martial Continent is just the demon race's opening move. It's their first step into the Profound Jade Immortal Domain. They're not going to back off just because a single true dragon showed up."

"I'd bet anything they'll come for Ying Luo sooner or later," she finished, her tone heavy with worry.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly. "Yeah," he said, his voice flat. He wasn't surprised.

But deep down, he was thinking more than he let on.

Heavenly Fate is stirring the pot too, he thought. If Mo Hao wants to keep putting on his little show, he needs an enemy. If the demons back off... who's left for him to act cool against?

Right then, Mo Hao spun toward Ying Luo, eyes shining with excitement. "Lady Dragon! The demon army's totally shaken—this is the perfect chance to strike!"

He pointed at the black tide of demons ahead. "They've got five Transcendence realm experts, sure, but that doesn't matter. If you can keep a few of them busy, I'll take care of the rest."

He puffed up his chest. "Actually, I can even take down those two Late-stage Transcendence realm demons myself!"

He said it loud on purpose, like he wanted everyone to hear how amazing he was. Honestly, it looked like he couldn't wait to jump into battle and put on a show.

But the moment he finished talking, the vibe behind him shifted fast.

The human cultivators—thousands of them—stared at him like he'd grown another head.

"Senior, please," one older cultivator said carefully, trying to stay polite but clearly annoyed, "don't say things like that so lightly."

Others weren't so nice.

Even though Mo Hao was in the Transcendence realm, they were done putting up with his bragging.

"Do you even know how strong the enemy is? They've got two Late-stage Transcendence realm demons—and three more in the same realm backing them up!"

"And you want Lady Dragon to fight three of them at once? While you handle the rest? That's insane!"

"Lady True Dragon, please wait! Lord Jiang Chen might be on his way. If he joins us, we can crush the demon army easily!"

Mo Hao's proud smile cracked right there. His face twisted.

Jiang Chen again?! If that guy showed up now, his whole plan to steal the spotlight would go up in smoke!

Just the thought of it made Mo Hao break out in a cold sweat. His heart started racing. The pressure was getting to him, fast.

...

Back on Ying Luo's head, Jiang Chen was still talking with Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning through spiritual communication.

"The demons are already planning something," he said calmly. "If they get more reinforcements and their fighting strength goes up, it'll be harder to keep our plan going."

"Good point," Shangguan Ning replied. "Let's move first, then."

"Agreed." Jiang Chen gave a small nod and gently tapped Ying Luo to get her attention. He started going over the battle plan with her in detail, making sure she was ready for anything that might pop up.

Ying Luo might be powerful, but she was still a newly born dragon. She didn't have much real combat experience yet. Jiang Chen wanted to make sure she wouldn't be caught off guard by any surprises once the fighting started.

...

Meanwhile, in the Vibrant Blaze Domain, Bo Luncang was staring at a small crystal in his hand, and his face went pale.

"It's real… it's actually a true dragon," he whispered, eyes wide in disbelief. "How could a true dragon show up in the Immortal Martial Continent? This doesn't make any sense!"

He paced back and forth, clearly panicking. "This is way too big for me to decide on my own. I have to report this to the Demon Lord!"

Without wasting a second, he called for one of his most trusted people and handed him the crystal.

"Take this. Get to the Myriad Demons Continent as fast as possible—report everything to the Demon Lord!"

The confidant didn't hesitate. He took the crystal and disappeared in a flash, heading straight toward the heart of demon territory.

This news was way too important. No one dared to waste time. The moment he arrived, the report shot up through the ranks and landed right in front of the Demon Lord himself.

Not long after, the same confidant returned to the Immortal Martial Continent, carrying a chilling new order.

The Demon Lord had spoken: Capture the true dragon alive.

...

At the same time, Jiang Chen and Ying Luo wrapped up their little strategy talk.

"I've got it, Big Brother," Ying Luo said, her eyes gleaming with mischief.

"When the fight starts, we mess with Mo Hao as much as possible. Whatever enemies he's trying to take down for his big show-off moment? We take them out first. Wipe the floor with them before he even gets the chance to strike."

"Oh, and let's make it look dramatic—like we're way stronger than even Late-stage Transcendence realm cultivators!"

Her tail swished with excitement as she went on, "And when we deal with those two Late-stage guys, you should act like you're using some crazy secret technique to boost your strength. Really sell it."

Jiang Chen grinned. "Perfect. You're sharp, Ying Luo—really sharp."

Hearing that made her even more pumped. She locked everything they'd planned firmly in her mind, determined to pull it off just right.

Then, she turned her huge silver head toward Mo Hao and snorted.

"Human boy," she said, voice full of scorn, "the fight starts now."

"All that bragging you did earlier? Let's see if you can even survive."

Before Mo Hao could respond, she shot forward like a bolt of silver lightning, heading straight for the demon army.

At that moment, the demon army still hadn't gotten the Demon Lord's latest orders.

They thought Ying Luo was holding back because she was being cautious. So they let their guard down—way down.

That was a big mistake.

ROAR!

With a deafening dragon's cry that shook the sky, Ying Luo transformed into her full, towering form—ten thousand meters of gleaming silver scales and raw power.

In a flash, she streaked across the sky and landed right in front of the demon army like a falling star.

"The true dragon is moving!" one of the demon leaders shouted, anxiety all over his face.

"What do we do? Are we supposed to fight her?!"

"If she's here to wipe us out, standing still is the same as giving up! Hurry, set up defenses!"

The Transcendence realm demons were caught off guard. Their panic was obvious as they scrambled to throw up a defensive barrier.

But they were too slow.

Right as the barrier shimmered into place, Ying Luo's eyes flashed.

Spatial Stride!

Without a second thought, she ripped open the space in front of her with one massive claw and skipped past the barrier entirely—straight into the heart of the demon army.

SWOOSH!

With a single mighty swing, five glowing claw marks tore through the battlefield like thunder, slicing the formation apart in an instant.

"No!" one demon screamed in horror.

"Someone save us!"

"I don't want to die!"

Their cries didn't last long.

The next second, a huge chunk of the demon army was gone—just blood, broken bodies, and ash left behind.
