After reincarnating, I became a second generation villain Chapter 324 Death
Previously on After reincarnating, I became a second generation villain...
Whoosh!
A torrent of eternal flame engulfed Ye Chen, his form becoming indistinct within the fiery darkness.
Moments later, the flames receded, leaving Ye Chen a charred ruin on the ground.
His entire body was severely burned, his hair vanished by the inferno, and his skin was blackened, emitting a foul-smelling smoke.
Ye Chen attempted to move his hand, but then, a glint appeared in the sky.
Stab!
Ye Chen's hands trembled as four aura swords impaled his body.
Dark blood seeped from his wounds.
Ye Chen's eyes widened, a visage of disbelief and utter unwillingness etched upon his face.
Step.
Step.
Footsteps echoed as Lin Tian approached the fallen Ye Chen.
However, Lin Tian's expression was clouded with confusion. How could it be this easy? This was Ye Chen, the protagonist, always destined for greatness akin to Ye Tiandi. Why did he fall so swiftly?
Lin Tian didn't ponder further, shaking his head as he drew closer to Ye Chen.
"Where did your confidence go? You are nothing more than a clown," Lin Tian sneered, his voice dripping with disdain.
Ye Chen strained to move his hand in response, a monumental effort.
"Cough!" Ye Chen coughed, a spray of blood erupting from his mouth.
"I have no more time to waste. It is time for you to die," Lin Tian declared coldly, manifesting the eternal flame in his palm.
Meanwhile, a grin spread across Ye Chen's face, his eyes blazing with a fiery red hue.
Lin Tian frowned. Why was that bastard Ye Chen grinning?
He found nothing amiss, until the next moment when his eyes narrowed, noticing a peculiar shimmer on his left hand.
A single drop of Ye Chen's blood.
[Host, beware!]
As the system's warning blared, the blood on his left hand suddenly ignited.
Lin Tian's eyes bulged, his face contorted in disbelief.
Boom!
A cataclysmic explosion erupted.
Lin Tian's left arm was annihilated by Ye Chen's blood.
The deafening blast expanded rapidly, its force cracking the very ground beneath them.
Ye Chen was propelled away from the blast radius, his immunity to his own supernatural powers shielding him from the concussive heat.
A smirk touched Ye Chen's lips. Despite the searing pain, he felt a grim satisfaction from his final gambit.
He hadn't been feigning it; the eternal flame had indeed inflicted terrible damage, causing immense suffering.
Fortunately, Lin Tian had been caught completely off guard, allowing him to execute his desperate counterattack.
The explosive force drained him completely, leaving him utterly spent.
His only remaining hope rested on the massive detonation, praying it would be enough to end Lin Tian and secure his own revival.
The inferno raged, its wide radius engulfing the entire vicinity.
Anyone caught directly in the blast would surely perish.
_______________________
Ten minutes elapsed. Ye Chen slowly pushed himself upright, his grievous wounds beginning to mend, albeit at an agonizingly slow pace.
The flames gradually subsided, replaced by a thick cloud of black smoke that shrouded the area.
A solitary figure emerged from the swirling haze.
Lin Tian stood, his body wracked with pain, his expression a mask of agony.
Lin Tian's current state was horrific, severe burns marring his form, particularly on his left side.
His left arm was gone, severed clean off!
"Bastard Ye Chen, I will tear you limb from limb!" Lin Tian snarled, his voice thick with burning rage.
He had never anticipated such a desperate turn of events. He never imagined the dying Ye Chen possessed the strength to unleash such destructive power, leaving him so grievously wounded.
His left arm had been utterly obliterated by the explosion.
Pain coursed through his entire body, a deep, bone-chilling agony.
Lin Tian advanced, striding towards the recovering Ye Chen.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen's eyes widened in terror as he perceived the silhouette moving through the dense smoke.
'Lin Tian! He's still alive!' Ye Chen thought, a wave of fear and disbelief washing over him.
"Ye Chen, I will kill you! I will tear you apart!" Lin Tian roared, his voice hoarse with fury.
He charged at Ye Chen, his face a picture of pure, unadulterated rage.
Ye Chen's expression turned grim; he was barely able to react.
His mind was in tatters, unable to process the situation, let alone strategize.
"I'll kill you, you bastard!" Lin Tian reached Ye Chen in an instant, preparing to strike.
An aura sword materialized in his right hand.
Slash!
The first strike grazed Ye Chen's cheek, eliciting a gasp of pain.
Slash!
The second strike met Ye Chen's left hand, and with a relentless series of blows, Lin Tian severed his arm.
Whoosh!
Ye Chen was consumed by the eternal flame once more, his face a canvas of profound unwillingness.
Yet, he was utterly powerless. He couldn't muster any strength, reduced to a fragile human shell.
Lin Tian`s hand clamped onto Ye Chen`s face, his voice dripping with a sneer, "Do you remember your first death? It was my hand that smashed your head into a bloody mess!"
In the very next moment...
Splatter!
Ye Chen`s head was violently crushed, and blood instantly painted the floor.
Lin Tian`s expression remained frigid, like a block of ice. This marked the second instance he had ended Ye Chen`s life.
Seated on the floor, Lin Tian examined his injured left arm. He understood that regaining his former strength within the Transcendent realm was essential for its regeneration.
"System, were there no rewards offered for defeating Ye Chen?" Lin Tian inquired, a hint of curiosity in his tone.
[Regrettably, no rewards are available. Ye Chen`s battle against the host concluded unfavorably for him.]
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian felt a flicker of surprise. It made perfect sense why he had managed to defeat Ye Chen with such apparent ease.
[You have vanquished Ye Chen. Victory is yours.]
[Initiating extraction of the Perfect Immortal Emperor bloodline.]
