The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1224 - 1217: Who Took My Opportunity?

Ancient Martial World.

In the Swamp of Death.

The vision of countless stars appearing all together in the sky vanished, and the night sky once again returned to its tranquility. The intermittent sound of insects echoed throughout the Swamp of Death. Liu Wuyuan, Qiu Yunshan, and Quan Muyan, who were standing atop a towering tree, had not anticipated this sudden turn of events.

Liu Wuyuan’s feet continuously stepped on the branches of the tree, his figure frantically rushing toward the place where the Star Sky Stone had disappeared, followed closely by the Great Elder Qiu Yunshan and the Second Elder Quan Muyan.

Arriving under a large tree in the center of the Swamp of Death, Liu Wuyuan could not fathom how the Star Sky Stone that had just flown in this direction could suddenly vanish without a trace?

At this moment, Ye Chenfeng was sitting beneath the very tree that Liu Wuyuan stood before, but his breath, vitality, and body had been deliberately concealed by the White Shadow Person and the Black Shadow Person, rendering Ye Chenfeng invisible to Liu Wuyuan.

Observing Liu Wuyuan’s slightly ferocious expression, as well as Qiu Yunshan and Quan Muyan who stood beside him, Ye Chenfeng realized that he had never had close contact with these three men before and didn’t know what the concepts of Spirit Communication Realm Five Heavens Peak, Ocean Gathering Realm Three Heavens Initial Stage, and Ocean Gathering Realm Four Heavens Middle Stage truly entailed.

With Liu Wuyuan and the others standing right in front of him, Ye Chenfeng felt as if he was suffocating under their overwhelming presence, certain that if his figure were to be discovered by them, he would likely be killed instantaneously.

Perhaps sensing Ye Chenfeng’s nervousness, the White Shadow Person Wu Fengxian spoke, "Kid, as long as you don’t stand up and walk around, these three people won’t be able to discover your presence. Just sit here with peace of mind."

Ye Chenfeng, now preoccupied, had not had time to inspect the Star Sky Stone that had entered his body, and decided to consider absorbing the Star Sky Stone after Liu Wuyuan and the others had left.

After searching everywhere to no avail for the Star Sky Stone, Liu Wuyuan turned his gaze to the Big Dipper pattern on the back of his hand. This pattern had a significant connection with today’s opportunity, and Liu Wuyuan tried to channel his spiritual energy into it, hoping to sense the exact location of the Star Sky Stone,

However, when Liu Wuyuan infused his spiritual energy into the Big Dipper pattern, the pattern seemed to be a bottomless pit, crazily swallowing up his spiritual energy. His complexion quickly turned pale, and he immediately stopped channeling spiritual energy into the pattern. His brows deeply furrowed, he spoke, "It seems like the aura of the Star Sky Stone has been deliberately concealed."

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder Qiu Yunshan’s expression shifted slightly as he said, "Young master, do you remember what I said just outside the Swamp of Death, that it seemed like someone had slipped into the swamp? If the aura of the Star Sky Stone has been deliberately hidden, then it suggests that someone else has gotten the stone. Besides the three of us, there are others here in the Swamp of Death."

After pondering for a moment, the Second Elder Quan Muyan spoke, "Although we are reluctant to admit that someone sneaked into the Swamp of Death right under our noses, given the current situation, the Great Elder’s previous feeling was not wrong at all."

After hearing the words of the Great Elder and the Second Elder, Liu Wuyuan’s expression contorted instantly. Ever since the starry sky pattern of the Big Dipper appeared on the back of his hand two years ago, he had been eagerly anticipating a great opportunity. He had even initially speculated that this opportunity was related to the Star Sky Stone. But when he finally saw the Star Sky Stone with his own eyes, his excitement nearly peaked. Knowing that the Star Sky Stone appears only once every thousand years and that those who obtained it were invariably world-dominating powerhouses,

One could say that tonight’s opportunity was what Liu Wuyuan had been yearning for day and night over the past two years. Moreover, they had just exerted all their strength to defend against the countless attacks of the fire stones, and they were on the verge of acquiring the Star Sky Stone. But now, someone hidden in the shadows had snatched it away. Was this not making a wedding dress for someone else? How could Liu Wuyuan possibly accept this?

Liu Wuyuan’s palms clenched tightly into fists, bulging veins throbbing on his forehead, his facial expression ferociously terrifying. The fury in his heart climbed to its peak as he roared hoarsely, sentence after sentence.

"Two years, a full two years, I’ve had the same dream every night, eagerly anticipating this day. I thought that with this great opportunity, I, Liu Wuyuan, would rise powerfully in the Earth Profound Realm."

"But who was it? Who stole my opportunity? I, Liu Wuyuan, will tear him to a thousand pieces."

Listening to Liu Wuyuan’s hoarse roars, Ye Chenfeng felt not a hint of guilt towards him. After all, it was Liu Wuyuan and his group that helped Li Dongtian and others reach the peak of Transcendent Realm, and they also helped Li Dongtian break through the Heaven’s Illusionary Formation, leading to many deaths at the hands of Li Dongtian and his group. In other words, even though Liu Wuyuan and his group hadn’t met Ye Chenfeng before today, they were indeed his enemies, so taking this great opportunity from his enemies did not burden Ye Chenfeng psychologically at all.

Qiu Yunshan and Quan Muyan kept sensing any slight movement in the surroundings, but they didn’t feel anything unusual in the Swamp of Death. After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Yunshan still said, "Young Master, perhaps the person who took the Star Sky Stone has already left the Swamp of Death."

"Unwilling! I am unwilling!" Liu Wuyuan violently pushed his palms forward, "Bang! Bang!" Two sounds rang out, and the large tree in front of him instantly turned into sawdust. Meanwhile, Ye Chenfeng, who was invisible, had been sitting under this tree and was also struck by Liu Wuyuan’s attack.

However, Ye Chenfeng’s hands were firmly grabbing the ground, preventing his body from moving a single step, while all the bones in his chest caved in as a surge of blood welled up inside him. He felt a sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of fresh blood surged up, when immediately the voice of Black Shadow Person Jiang Yuntian rang in his mind: "Kid, don’t let the blood in your mouth spray out, or your body’s invisibility effect will disappear."

After hearing the Black Shadow Person’s words, Ye Chenfeng swallowed back the mouthful of blood into his stomach. He gazed at Liu Wuyuan darkly, and couldn’t help but think of the old crone Song Chunmei from the Yinming Sect, knowing that he must quickly increase his strength. Otherwise, when he got to the Earth Profound Realm, he would have no foothold there.

After pushing out his palms, Liu Wuyuan was so overwhelmed with fury that he was heartbroken. His aspiration to rise powerfully in the Earth Profound Realm had completely vanished into thin air, just like the dreams he had for two years—a dream that ended up being nothing but a dream. freёweɓnovel_com

A "Pu!" sound.

A large mouthful of blood sprayed from Liu Wuyuan’s mouth, and his steps began to wobble, lacking any of his usual suave demeanor. His eyes turned cold and vicious as he bellowed, "No matter who you are, don’t let me, Liu Wuyuan, see you. Otherwise, I will make you taste a life worse than death."

The pattern of the Big Dipper on the back of Liu Wuyuan’s hand did not disappear; he would still be able to sense the person who stole his opportunity if they appeared before him. Moreover, such drastic emotional ups and downs created a psychological barrier in Liu Wuyuan’s mind, which was extremely detrimental to his future improvement in strength.

Initially, after obtaining the Star Sky Stone, Liu Wuyuan would have been able to smoothly enter the Ocean Gathering Realm, with all aspects of his aptitude greatly improving. But now, it was all for nought!

Qiu Yunshan and Quan Muyan also knew the effects of the Star Sky Stone, which is why they had both revealed greed before. But now that the Star Sky Stone was gone and they didn’t even know who took it, they felt incredibly stifled. However, their emotions were much better than Liu Wuyuan’s, for at least they hadn’t been longing for this opportunity for a full two years.

"Young Master, let’s leave the Swamp of Death first!" the Great Elder Qiu Yunshan suggested.
