"Ye Fan!"

"You truly are a heartless and ungrateful individual!"

"I saved you, yet you still seek to take my life!"

Jiang Chen sneered as the feigned weakness he had been displaying evaporated in an instant. He promptly raised his long sword to shield his head.

"What?!"

"He was pretending?!"

Ye Fan's face contorted with shock and disbelief.

Nonetheless, it was too late for him to alter his move since he had already committed to his attack.

Ding!!

The collision of swords produced an ear-piercing noise!

An immense shockwave burst forth from the point where the two swords made contact.

The garments of both combatants billowed loudly in the fierce wind, and their hair whipped about wildly!

"Damn it!"

"You actually concealed your true strength!"

Ye Fan was propelled backward by the force, landing on the ground and glaring at Jiang Chen with a dark expression.

"Roar!!"

The remaining five blood-colored monsters disregarded everything else and charged directly at Jiang Chen.

"Hmph!"

"Void Rainbow Seventh Sword Style, Falling Star!"

Jiang Chen coldly snorted, and his entire being merged with his sword, penetrating a monster's skull like a shooting star!

Boom!

The monster's carcass dropped heavily to the ground, and blood oozed out.

"These treasures are mine and mine alone!"

Ye Fan's eyes glittered, and he seized the opportunity while Jiang Chen was engaged with the monsters, lunging toward the lifeless bodies!

"Delusional!"

Jiang Chen sneered, and with a tap of his foot, he transformed into a streak of light and forcefully collided with Ye Fan's figure!

Bang!!

A loud muffled noise resonated.

The two figures made brief contact and retreated!

Ye Fan landed at the edge of the battlefield, his right hand trembling slightly, and the base of his palm throbbing with pain!

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen plunged back into the encirclement of the remaining four monsters!

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Several ferocious arms, akin to massive trees covered in thorns, came hurtling down, attempting to crush the person in the center into a pulp!

"Die!"

Jiang Chen bellowed, sweeping his sword horizontally, and a potent burst of cold Qi erupted, momentarily causing the four monsters to falter in their movements.

Following that,

Swish!

The sword's blade sliced through the air as the four monsters collapsed in unison, their bodies limp and crashing to the ground.

One after another, their heads rolled away, emitting a gurgling sound.

These monsters didn't perish like the first one, which had been stripped of its flesh and reduced to a skeleton.

This was because Jiang Chen's cold Qi had already obliterated their flesh and blood!

In that instant,

The final four monsters met their end simultaneously.

Ye Fan's eyes narrowed, and he lunged towards Jiang Chen once again, brandishing his sword!

In his perspective,

Jiang Chen had just displayed his full strength, and Ye Fan was convinced that he could exploit this chance to vanquish Jiang Chen!

However!

As Ye Fan charged towards Jiang Chen and thrust his sword forward, he noticed that Jiang Chen's face bore a mocking expression!

"Not good! He's feigning weakness again!"

Ye Fan was immensely alarmed and dismayed, inwardly cursing Jiang Chen's shamelessness!

Yet, his longsword had already been thrust out, and it was too late to alter his move or retreat. He could only clench his teeth and continue the thrust!

Ding!

In the next instant, the sound of metal clashing reverberated once more.

Ye Fan felt an even more fearsome force surging through his longsword, exploding into his right hand.

Crack!!

The sound of bones shattering resonated in Ye Fan's mind, making his pupils constrict.

Nevertheless, his body's movements never ceased. Upon spotting an opportunity, he instantly pushed off the ground to retreat.

However,

"Too slow!"

Jiang Chen's lips curved up slightly, and the 'Clear Sky Flash' was unleashed. His entire body transformed into a streak of black lightning, charging directly in front of Ye Fan.

Swoosh!

The sound of a sword slicing through the air sent shivers down one's spine!

The longsword was on the verge of striking Ye Fan's body!

"Burning Blood Art!"

Ye Fan gritted his teeth and activated the secret art to burn his blood essence, inciting a colossal explosion of qi and blood energy.

With the aid of this force,

He twisted his body, and in the nick of time, narrowly evaded Jiang Chen's sword!

However,

A powerful wave of cold Qi emanated swiftly from Jiang Chen's sword blade.

Half of Ye Fan's body was engulfed by it.

In a flash,

Ye Fan experienced the bone-chilling cold Qi, and half of his body turned rigid!

"Get away from me!"

He bellowed in fury, as the tumultuous qi and blood within his body resisted the invasion of the cold Qi.

In the next instant,

Ye Fan's feet made contact with the ground, and like an arrow, he swiftly retreated, disappearing into the woods.

"Hmph!"

Jiang Chen let out a cold snort, feigning weakness and refraining from pursuing his quarry.

At this point, Ye Fan's Heavenly Fate Value was exceedingly high.

It was utterly unfeasible to eliminate him, and even inflicting grave wounds would involve significant risks!

Given that Ye Fan had activated a self-destructive secret art to flee, he must have paid a toll and surely sustained injuries.

Thus,

In a scenario where the opponent's Heavenly Fate Value remained exceptionally high,

Managing to exploit their vulnerabilities and inflict harm upon them was already the optimal outcome.

At this juncture,

A series of system notifications abruptly resounded.

[Ding! You successfully defeated the protagonist Ye Fan, impaired his mental state, and reduced Ye Fan's Heavenly Fate Value by 200 points!]

[Ding! You acquired 300 points of Villain Value!]

[Ding! You effectively seized a portion of the protagonist Ye Fan's opportunities, and Ye Fan's Heavenly Fate Value decreased by 600 points!]

[Ding! You accumulated 1,100 points of Villain Value!]

[Ding! You successfully inflicted injury upon the protagonist Ye Fan, and Ye Fan's Heavenly Fate Value temporarily diminished by 200 points!]

[Ding! You obtained 300 points of Villain Value!]

The system notifications reverberated in Jiang Chen's mind.

A contemplative look flickered in Jiang Chen's eyes.

'Defeating Ye Fan merely reduced his Heavenly Fate Value by two hundred points?'

'It appears that he isn't the type of protagonist who never falters throughout the tale, but rather one who stumbles, grows stronger through adversity, and eventually makes a triumphant return.'

'Otherwise, it would be implausible to decrease his Heavenly Fate Value by such a modest sum.'

'Furthermore, I snatched the opportunities within the thirteen monsters' bodies, causing Ye Fan to forfeit six hundred points of Heavenly Fate Value. While not insignificant, it's not a substantial amount either.'

'It appears that these monsters represent merely a fraction of his opportunities in the Cave Heaven Secret Realm.'

'The remaining parts likely encompass more skinless monsters, as well as opportunities of other varieties.'

'These other types of opportunities should also be connected to the skinless monsters, as they are the sole 'living beings' within this Cave Heaven Secret Realm, possessing a mysterious origin and involvement in crucial narratives.'

'...'

Jiang Chen continued to ponder in his heart, while simultaneously using his sword to crack open the monsters' skulls.

Shortly,

The first monster's skull was breached.

Jiang Chen extracted a small golden-red bead from within.

A rich and enticing aroma wafted from it, utterly irresistible!

"This aroma... it's incredibly enticing!"

"It seems as if consuming this could yield significant benefits."

"However, I must refrain. This isn't a spiritual plant, and I have yet to identify it."

"Once I fully comprehend its origin and purpose, I'll decide whether to ingest it or not."

"For the time being, I'll dub it a monster's inner core."

"..."

Jiang Chen murmured softly to himself.

Simultaneously, while extracting the inner cores from other monsters' craniums, he casually browsed the system mall for invented names.

He hoped to fortuitously discover this golden-red, inner core-like object.

Alas, after extracting all the monster inner cores, he failed to locate this item within the system by mere chance.

"How unfortunate my luck is!"

"The system is also to blame. If only it possessed an object identification search function..."

Jiang Chen vented a few grievances, then placed all the monster inner cores into the Moondust Ring.
