The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1330 - 1321: Driven to a Corner

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

Ye Chenfeng gripped the hilt of the Black Xuan Sword and abruptly drew it out. Immediately, cyclonic gusts swirled around him, with piercing sounds echoing through the hall.

The immense Black Xuan Sword was instantly enveloped in white mist. The spiritual energy rivers within Ye Chenfeng’s meridians surged fiercely, and a resonant dragon roar emerged from the Black Xuan Sword. Ye Chenfeng swung the sword fiercely at Zhang Wenxuan and roared: "Dragon Soars Nine Heavens!"

The temperature in the hall plunged abruptly. A massive white dragon leaped out from the Black Xuan Sword, surrounded by an eerie, frosty Sword Intent.

Zhang Wenxuan, who initially looked down on Ye Chenfeng, was momentarily stunned as he witnessed Dragon Soars Nine Heavens. He muttered to himself, "A move that combines Sword Intent with Combat Skills? I underestimated you. But your strength is far too low. So what if you’ve grasped Sword Intent?"

Meanwhile, Wang Yongxing, Lin Zhonghe, and others revealed shocked expressions. Zhang Wenxuan’s storage ring flashed, and a cyan longsword instantly appeared in his grasp—a Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact.

The fact that Zhang Wenxuan could possess a Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact demonstrated his prominent status in the Southern Yuan Dynasty. Holding the cyan longsword, Zhang Wenxuan unleashed the aura of the Spirit Communication Realm’s Third Heaven, sending it soaring into the sky. A cyan light flickered across the longsword, and the phantom of a massive phoenix emerged before him.

A phoenix’s cry rang out from Zhang Wenxuan’s cyan longsword as he swung it at the white dragon: "Phoenix Sword Technique, First Move—Phoenix Impact!"

The phoenix phantom before Zhang Wenxuan grew increasingly solid. When he finally swung the longsword, the colossal phoenix shot upward, hurtling toward the white dragon.

The Phoenix Sword Technique was a Middle Grade Earth Grade Combat Skill, hinting at its formidable power.

Ye Chenfeng knew that his Dragon Soars Nine Heavens couldn’t possibly defeat Zhang Wenxuan. He merely intended to use this distraction to escape the hall. If he were cornered within, survival would be impossible.

Thus, as he unleashed Dragon Soars Nine Heavens, Ye Chenfeng’s figure darted swiftly toward the hall’s exit.

Zhang Wenxuan, executing the Phoenix Sword Technique, noticed Ye Chenfeng fleeing for the hall’s exit. He quickly extended his left hand and struck toward Ye Chenfeng: "Void Palm!"

An illusory palm shadow instantly caught Ye Chenfeng and slammed into his back. "Pfft!" Blood spewed from Ye Chenfeng’s mouth as his body was sent flying toward the courtyard outside the hall.

As Ye Chenfeng was struck by Zhang Wenxuan’s Void Palm, the white dragon and colossal phoenix collided within the hall. Unfortunately, Ye Chenfeng’s strength was too feeble. His Dragon Soars Nine Heavens was no match for the Phoenix Sword Technique. In an instant, the massive phoenix shattered the white dragon. Its momentum remained unchecked, and it crashed into a sturdy pillar of the hall.

"Bang!"

The entire hall began to sway precariously. Wang Yongxing and Lin Zhonghe snapped out of their shock. Lin Zhonghe looked at Zheng Yuanzhi and Zheng Wu and shouted, "What are you standing around for? The hall’s about to collapse! Hurry up and leave."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuanzhi glanced at his dazed son, Zheng Wu. He grabbed Zheng Wu by the collar and dashed out of the collapsing hall.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As Zhang Wenxuan, Lin Zhonghe, and the others exited the hall, the entire structure crumbled with a deafening roar.

The enormous commotion within the residence caught the attention of Yu Haifeng, Jiang Yunting, and Zhao Hongli waiting outside. As they entered the courtyard and saw the demolished hall, they were stunned to see the disheveled Zhang Wenxuan and others, alongside Ye Chenfeng, who had just risen from the ground with blood continuously dripping from the corner of his mouth. The three were utterly bewildered and couldn’t fathom what had happened.

"Brother Zhang, why are you here?" Jiang Yunting’s expression was one of disbelief as she looked at Zhang Wenxuan. Having grown up with Zhang Wenxuan, Jiang Yunting had always regarded him as an elder brother. In return, Zhang Wenxuan had always doted on her.

"Brother Chenfeng, are you alright?" Zhao Hongli hurried to Ye Chenfeng’s side upon seeing his injuries, his face filled with concern.

Yu Haifeng looked toward Wang Yongxing and asked, "Fifth Elder, what in the world is going on?"

Wang Yongxing had already conspired with Zhang Wenxuan and prepared an explanation. He snorted coldly and said, "Yu Haifeng, take a look at the kind of disciple you’ve recruited into Spiritual Medicine Valley. I had him wait in the hall for a while, but he couldn’t resist the temptation of a vial of Second Grade Elixir Pills I placed there."

"Fortunately, I arrived in time. Otherwise, he would have escaped with the pills. A petty thief like him has no qualifications to join our Spiritual Medicine Valley. Knowing he bore a grudge against the Zheng family, I had them come to resolve their differences. Who would have thought things would escalate this far?"

"This brat shows no remorse and tried to flee. A person like him is unworthy of joining Spirit Medicine Valley. Today, I must act on behalf of justice. Keeping him alive shall only bring calamity."

Zhang Wenxuan approached Jiang Yunting and said, "Yunting, everything the Fifth Elder of Spiritual Medicine Valley said is true. This brat is nothing more than a rogue."

Jiang Yunting had always trusted Zhang Wenxuan’s words. While she had some fondness for Ye Chenfeng, she began to believe Zhang Wenxuan. Her brows furrowed as she turned to Ye Chenfeng and questioned, "Is this true?"

Tightening his grip on the Black Xuan Sword, Ye Chenfeng chuckled bitterly. Meanwhile, Zhao Hongli stood firm and angrily replied, "You lot are speaking utter nonsense! Brother Chenfeng wouldn’t commit such acts!"

Yu Haifeng furrowed his brows and stared at Wang Yongxing, a sudden realization dawning on him. With gritted teeth, he said, "Fifth Elder, even if it was for your son’s reputation as the number one talent, you shouldn’t frame this young man!"

Evidently, Yu Haifeng still had a deep sense of justice.

"Enough talk. This brat must die today!" Wang Yongxing’s robe billowed as he sprang forward toward Ye Chenfeng. The sheer force of his aura sent Zhao Hongli flying from Ye Chenfeng’s side.

"Fifth Elder, halt immediately!" Yu Haifeng attempted to obstruct Wang Yongxing, but Lin Zhonghe stood in his way, ensuring Yu Haifeng couldn’t move a single step closer.

Standing next to Zhang Wenxuan, Jiang Yunting hesitated and asked, "Are you framing Ye Chenfeng?"

Zhang Wenxuan replied, "Yunting, do you not trust me? We’ve grown up together. Have I ever lied to you?"

Hearing Zhang Wenxuan’s words, Jiang Yunting’s doubt gradually faded. She stood still, merely watching Wang Yongxing approach Ye Chenfeng. Instinctively, she chose to believe Zhang Wenxuan.

Ye Chenfeng gripped the Black Xuan Sword as the impending sense of doom pressed down upon him. The spiritual energy rivers within his body struggled to flow smoothly under the tremendous pressure. Wang Yongxing’s skeletal hand swung fiercely at Ye Chenfeng’s chest, ripping through the air as if threatening to shatter it completely. If Ye Chenfeng took the hit, his heart would almost certainly be crushed instantly.

As Wang Yongxing’s palm closed in on Ye Chenfeng’s chest, his body was paralyzed under the overwhelming aura, unable to move a muscle. Just as death seemed imminent, Ye Chenfeng forced his body to shift slightly, dodging the fatal blow. Wang Yongxing’s palm slammed into Ye Chenfeng’s left shoulder instead.

"Bang!"

"Crack! Crack!"

A cloud of blood erupted from Ye Chenfeng’s shoulder, and the sound of countless bones breaking echoed in the air. Ye Chenfeng’s body flew backward, slamming heavily into a wall.

Standing beside Jiang Yunting, Zhang Wenxuan sneered at the visibly weakened Ye Chenfeng, "Brat, you’re nothing but a cockroach in my eyes. Stop resisting pointlessly."

"Ye Chenfeng, calm down. If you admit your mistakes, I promise they won’t harm you further," Jiang Yunting said sympathetically, glancing at Ye Chenfeng.

Using the Black Xuan Sword for support, Ye Chenfeng slowly rose to his feet, coldly meeting Jiang Yunting’s gaze. From the moment her words left her mouth, Ye Chenfeng expunged her from his list of allies. In his eyes, there were only two kinds of people in the world: friends and enemies. Jiang Yunting now belonged to the latter.

"Haha! Let’s see what tricks you can pull to try capturing me, Ye Chenfeng!"

With his left arm entirely immobile, Ye Chenfeng firmly gripped the Black Xuan Sword in his right hand. His thunderous words shook the air, and rolling waves of Spirit Communication Realm Fifth Heaven Peak spiritual energy coursed through his body. His eyes burned with unwavering battle fury.

"Yunting, what nonsense are you spouting? I trust Brother Chenfeng wouldn’t do such a thing. Why should he apologize?" Zhao Hongli screamed from the ground in defiance, his voice hoarse and unwavering.

Jiang Yunting hesitated once more at Zhao Hongli’s words. However, Zhang Wenxuan interjected, "Yunting, people can be deceitful. If this brat didn’t commit the act, why would I and the Fifth Elder of Spiritual Medicine Valley falsely accuse him? We’ve only met him today."

Jiang Yunting felt Zhang Wenxuan’s argument was convincing. Turning to Zhao Hongli, her tone was tinged with sorrow as she said, "Brother Zhao, perhaps we’ve all been deceived by Ye Chenfeng’s facade."

"Yunting... you, you..." Lying on the ground, Zhao Hongli was rendered speechless with fury. freewebnσvel.cøm

Forced into a corner, Ye Chenfeng directed his gaze toward Zheng family head Zheng Yuanzhi, intending to use him as a starting point to mount a counterattack.
