The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1231 - 1224: Conflict
Chapter 1231: Chapter 1224: Conflict
"Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!——"
Aboard the Sea King, the sound of swallowing filled the air. Xu Yang, who had just appeared unbeatable, now lay powerless on the deck, unable to move in the slightest. He breathed weakly through his nose as blood continuously flowed from his mouth. His eyes, dim and full of terror, stared at Ye Chenfeng, his face a picture of disbelief. He couldn’t comprehend how a piece of trash from the Ancient Martial World could possess the strength of the Third Heavenly Layer at the Peak of the Spirit Communication Realm?
Not far behind Xu Yang, Zhao Lin’s hands and feet had already turned ice cold. His body involuntarily trembled slightly as he felt the aura of Ye Chenfeng, at the Peak of the Third Heavenly Layer of the Spirit Communication Realm. He knew that he and Xu Yang had kicked an iron plate this time, as beads of sweat the size of soybeans slipped endlessly from his forehead to the deck below.
As for the others from the Ancient Martial World around them, they were all gaping in shock. They had just scorned and ridiculed Ye Chenfeng moments ago. In their eyes, Ye Chenfeng was nothing after going to the Earth Profound Realm, yet Ye Chenfeng had just slaughtered a master of the Second Heavenly Layer at the Peak of the Spirit Communication Realm right before them, which made them increasingly uneasy.
Especially Hu Changsan, who had climbed aboard the Sea King thanks to Ye Chenfeng, had just perfectly played the role of Xu Yang and Zhao Lin’s lackey. He had disparaged Ye Chenfeng as worthless, only to now witness Ye Chenfeng’s formidable strength, causing him to regret so much that his insides turned blue. His body shuddered uncontrollably as he kept retreating step by step.
Ye Chenfeng never really took a small fish like Hu Changsan seriously, but Hu Changsan lacked the self-awareness of a minor character and continuously frolicked gleefully in front of Ye Chenfeng, which instinctively aroused an intense disgust in Ye Chenfeng towards him.
Ye Chenfeng ignored Xu Yang, who was sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, and Zhao Lin, who was shaking terribly. Instead, he turned his gaze towards Hu Changsan, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
When Hu Changsan noticed Ye Chenfeng’s gaze, his body trembled violently. With a "Bang!", Hu Changsan instantly knelt before Ye Chenfeng, pleading pitifully, "Young Master Ye, please, let me off! Just now it was my fault, Hu Changsan, for being blind, for failing to recognize your worth. How could a piece of garbage from the Earth Profound Realm be compared to Young Master Ye? This is an insult to you!"
"I recall you said you would jump into the Heaven-reaching Sea yourself, didn’t you? What now? Do you want me to take action and send you on your way, or will you jump into the Heaven-reaching Sea yourself? My patience has its limits," said Ye Chenfeng, shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly.
Kneeling on the deck, Hu Changsan’s clothes were already drenched in his own sweat. The Sea King had just set sail not long ago, and if he jumped into the Heaven-reaching Sea now, he could quickly swim back to shore. However, if he didn’t jump, he might be finished off by Ye Chenfeng. After pondering in his heart, Hu Changsan suddenly stood up from the deck. With a "Splash!", he dove headfirst into the water.
But just as Hu Changsan prepared to swim back to shore, a swarm of strange fish surged up from the depths. Each fish was about one and a half meters long and roughly seventy to eighty centimeters wide; dozens of them crazily rushed towards Hu Changsan.
Already fuming with anger inside, Hu Changsan saw the strange fish approaching and immediately mustered the True Energy Force of the Middle Stage of Sky-Breaking in his body, punching towards the leading fish. However, the fish suddenly opened its mouth, revealing teeth sharp as swords. With a "Crack!", the whole of Hu Changsan’s right arm was bitten off by the fish, and blood sprayed continuously from his severed limb. A piercing scream erupted from his throat: "Ahh~"
Perhaps stimulated by the blood, the fish became even more frenzied. With their sword-like teeth, tearing Hu Changsan’s body to pieces was effortless. In no time, Hu Changsan became a feast in the mouth of these fish. Even as a master in the Middle Stage of Sky-Breaking, Hu Changsan had no chance to resist before these creatures, causing all the Ancient Martial World people present to break out in a cold sweat.
"Young brother, this is one of the most common low-level monster beasts in the Heaven-reaching Sea. Because their teeth are like swords, they are known as Swordtooth Fish. Even masters of the Transcendent Realm would likely meet a bitter end against Swordtooth Fish in the water. Beneath the Heaven-reaching Sea lies untold dangers; should we encounter high-level sea monsters, even I would end up as nothing more than their meal," said Wu Changnan, the Great Elder of the Qingyang Sect, who had emerged from the cabin at some point and patiently explained the origin of these fish to Ye Chenfeng.
"Great Elder Wu, there was some minor friction between us and this brother just now. We are willing to apologize to him," said Zhao Lin, quickly lowering his stance, knowing that since Ye Chenfeng had shown the strength of the Peak of the Third Heavenly Layer of the Spirit Communication Realm, Wu Changnan would definitely not side with them.
Wu Changnan didn’t pay any attention to Zhao Lin’s words, looked at Ye Chenfeng with a smile and said, "Young brother, your strength is not bad at all! You are qualified to become a disciple of our Qingyang Sect, and with your strength, you can even be the number one among our Inner Sect Disciples."
"Great Elder, it seems that the ship ahead belongs to White Snow Villa, and it’s blocking our way," said a disciple from Qingyang Sect, standing next to Wu Changnan.
Wu Changnan frowned and said, "What does White Snow Villa want? After Sea King gets close to White Snow Villa’s ship, have the Sea King stop as well."
By his side, Lie Yan, Sun Hengfei, and others had no opportunity to approach Ye Chenfeng and speak with him. However, after witnessing Ye Chenfeng effortlessly kill Xu Yang in a matter of seconds, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The Sea King steadily stopped beside the ship of White Snow Villa. Wu Changnan, at the Peak of the Second Heavenly Layer in the Ocean Gathering Realm, asked discontentedly, "What is the meaning of this, White Snow Villa? Our Qingyang Sect has always kept to itself, not interfering with your affairs."
Aboard the ship from White Snow Villa, the young master Liu Wuyuan, the Great Elder Qiu Yunshan, and the Second Elder Quan Muyan, all fixed their gazes on the deck of the Sea King.
Upon seeing Liu Wuyuan and the others, Ye Chenfeng instinctively had a very bad premonition. Suddenly, the voice of the White Shadow Person, Wu Fengxian, rang in Ye Chenfeng’s mind: "Little guy, seems like you can’t avoid this today. We’re still in a weakened state and can’t hide the aura from the Star Sky Stone in your chest."
"You can make contact with me again?" Ye Chenfeng quietly murmured to himself.
The Black Shadow Person Jiang Yuntian said, "We’ve only just recovered a little. You must resolve today’s tribulation on your own. Constant reliance on us will never make you a true strongman."
Liu Wuyuan, while sensing the starry pattern on the back of his hand, swept his gaze across the deck of the Sea King. Finally, his eyes locked onto Ye Chenfeng, and pointing at Ye Chenfeng, he burst into a crazed and vicious laughter, "Hahaha, so it was you, the little rat who stole my chance? Today, I, Liu Wuyuan, will take your life."
Seeing Liu Wuyuan point his finger at Ye Chenfeng, and hearing his words, Wu Changnan’s expression changed as he exclaimed, "What is this supposed to mean?"
On the ship from White Snow Villa, the Great Elder Qiu Yunshan asked, "Young Master, are you sure it was this boy who took your opportunity?"
Liu Wuyuan nodded and said, "The starry pattern on my hand has formed a slight connection with this boy, so there is no doubt it’s him."
Upon receiving Liu Wuyuan’s affirmation, Qiu Yunshan immediately shouted, "Wu Changnan, this matter has nothing to do with your Qingyang Sect. Hand over that boy and your Sea King can continue on its course."
"Wu Changnan, you best weigh your options carefully. Your strength is inadequate before us, and it seems that the boy must have been someone you found in the Ancient Martial World. Is it worth it to push your Qingyang Sect into an abyss from which there is no return, all for an unfamiliar boy?" Quan Muyan, the Second Elder of White Snow Villa, also sneered.
