The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1331 - 1322: Who is Seeking Death?
Chapter 1331: Chapter 1322: Who is Seeking Death?
Bei Yun City’s Liu Family Head Liu Weitian, Hu Family Head Hu Weiyuan, and Qin Family Head Qin Shifang.
Liu Weitian and Hu Weiyuan had brought their sons Liu Jiang and Hu Feilong early in the morning to apologize to Ye Chenfeng, while Qin Shifang brought his daughter Qin Shuangshuang, intending to personally invite Ye Chenfeng for a meal.
But when these individuals had just arrived at Ye Chenfeng’s residence, they learned that Ye Chenfeng had left to meet the Fifth Elder of Spiritual Medicine Valley. After some inquiries, they headed toward the residence of Spiritual Medicine Valley’s Fifth Elder, Wang Yongxing.
However, what the three major families could never have imagined was that as soon as they reached Wang Yongxing’s residence, the sounds of battle erupted from inside. Out of curiosity, the members of the three families snuck to the front courtyard’s entrance and witnessed Ye Chenfeng being struck and sent flying by Wang Yongxing’s palm. This left their minds temporarily short-circuited.
Still, Liu Jiang and Hu Feilong, upon seeing Ye Chenfeng in such a disheveled state, had their previously suppressed expressions of frustration disappear. Liu Jiang turned to Liu Weitian and said, "Father, now we don’t need to apologize to Ye Chenfeng, do we? That person who just sent Ye Chenfeng flying with one strike must be the Fifth Elder of Spiritual Medicine Valley, right? It’s clear that the Fifth Elder wants to kill Ye Chenfeng. There’s no way he’d be able to join Spiritual Medicine Valley now. It’s highly likely he’ll die here today."
Hu Feilong quickly chimed in, "Exactly! Ye Chenfeng must have offended the Fifth Elder of Spiritual Medicine Valley somehow. But this is definitely good news for us; we no longer need to worry about Ye Chenfeng being a threat to us."
Hearing their sons’ words, Liu Weitian and Hu Weiyuan finally relaxed their tightly wrinkled brows. Liu Weitian glanced mockingly at Qin Shifang and said, "Family Head Qin, weren’t you planning to butter up Ye Chenfeng? It looks like your plan is bound to fail now, isn’t it?"
Qin Shifang’s face darkened considerably. He hadn’t expected Ye Chenfeng, who seemed destined to become a genius disciple of Spiritual Medicine Valley, to suddenly face full-force assassination from the Fifth Elder after just one night. Now, Qin Shifang didn’t even want the tiniest connection with Ye Chenfeng, let alone trying to curry favor.
Standing beside Qin Shifang, Qin Shuangshuang saw her father’s face constantly changing expressions. She let out a faint sigh and said softly, "Father, didn’t you say yesterday that you never had the chance to help Ye Chenfeng in his time of need? That opportunity is right in front of you now; it all depends on whether you want to seize it."
Upon hearing this, Qin Shifang shuddered and said in a low tone, "Shuangshuang, are you insane? Right now, even Spiritual Medicine Valley wants to deal with Ye Chenfeng. If we intervene, the entire Qin family will be dragged down with him!"
Qin Shuangshuang glanced at Ye Chenfeng in the distance, whose lips were streaked with blood. Turning to Qin Shifang, she said, "Father, you can stay here and watch all you want! I’m heading out for a few days; don’t worry about my safety."
Before Qin Shifang could respond, Qin Shuangshuang had already left. As she walked away, she silently muttered to herself, "Ye Chenfeng, you must survive and leave Bei Yun City alive. I believe you can make it."
...
While the representatives of Bei Yun City’s three major families stood at the courtyard entrance.
Inside the front courtyard.
Holding the Black Xuan Sword, Ye Chenfeng turned his gaze to Zheng Yuanzhi, an Ocean Gathering Realm Second Heavenly Layer Peak cultivator closest to him. With a loud "Boom!", Ye Chenfeng slammed his right foot onto the ground, his figure swiftly darting toward Zheng Yuanzhi.
Originally, the Fifth Elder of Spiritual Medicine Valley, Wang Yongxing, intended to attack Ye Chenfeng again. However, Ye Chenfeng initiated an assault on Zheng Yuanzhi instead, prompting Wang Yongxing to stop in his tracks. Turning to Zheng Yuanzhi, he said, "This brat might have comprehended Sword Intent, but his strength is only at the Spirit Communication Realm Fifth Heavenly Layer Peak. As long as you go all out, he won’t stand a chance against you. He’ll only end up instantly defeated."
Zheng Yuanzhi’s father, Lin Zhonghe, showed no intention of helping either. Although Ye Chenfeng’s earlier display of Sword Intent had surprised him, Wang Yongxing’s reasoning was correct—the immense disparity in their cultivation levels couldn’t be overcome by mere comprehension of Sword Intent.
"What a fool! Does this brat even know his limits? When I was at the Spirit Communication Realm Fifth Heavenly Layer, I didn’t dare provoke Ocean Gathering Realm experts, let alone those of the Second Heavenly Layer. He’s just courting death." Zhang Wenxuan sneered derisively.
Jiang Yunting, on the other hand, furrowed her delicate brows tightly. Biting her lip, she shouted, "Ye Chenfeng, for the sake of the time you saved me, I’m giving you one last chance! If you admit your mistakes now, no one here will harm you!"
Ye Chenfeng, rapidly closing in on Zheng Yuanzhi, shot a cold glance at Jiang Yunting without slowing down. His figure continued its charge, leaving layers of afterimages in the air.
Behind Zheng Yuanzhi stood Zheng Wu, who furiously shouted, "Father! Make sure to keep this idiot alive; I want to torment him properly and won’t let him die so easily!"
"Chenfeng Brother!" Zhao Hongli, lying on the ground, roared with bloodshot eyes. He, too, thought Ye Chenfeng was committing suicide.
Blocked by Lin Zhonghe, Yu Haifeng glared fiercely at Wang Yongxing and said, "Fifth Elder, you must take responsibility for what you’ve done today. You’re personally destroying Spiritual Medicine Valley’s future hope!"
As for the members of the three families at the entrance.
Of them, the Liu and Hu families both wore mocking smiles as Ye Chenfeng drew ever closer to Zheng Yuanzhi.
Liu Family’s young master Liu Jiang sneered, "This brat is simply an idiot. If he chose to end his own life, he might at least have suffered less."
"I can’t wait to watch him get tortured to death. Just thinking about it excites me!" Hu Feilong chuckled and rubbed his hands eagerly.
Liu Family Head Liu Weitian shook his head and said, "Zheng Yuanzhi’s strength is on par with ours. This brat is undoubtedly heading toward his doom."
Though Hu Weiyuan and Qin Shifang remained silent, they were also certain that no miracle would occur.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on Ye Chenfeng. As Ye Chenfeng’s figure nearly reached Zheng Yuanzhi, with another loud "Boom!", Ye Chenfeng abruptly threw the Black Xuan Sword toward Zheng Yuanzhi. Zheng Yuanzhi shifted slightly, letting the sword embed itself deep into the ground behind him.
As the Black Xuan Sword left his grasp, Ye Chenfeng’s speed increased dramatically, appearing right in front of Zheng Yuanzhi in an instant.
Yet, Zheng Yuanzhi wore a composed and confident smile, emanating the powerful aura of an Ocean Gathering Realm Second Heavenly Layer Peak cultivator as he threw a punch toward Ye Chenfeng’s chest, shouting, "Brat! If you’ve got guts, don’t dodge!"
Ye Chenfeng subtly moved his body, shielding everyone’s view of Zheng Yuanzhi. Thus, Zheng Yuanzhi’s movements became entirely obscured.
Seeing that Ye Chenfeng truly made no effort to evade, Zheng Yuanzhi grew irritated, believing Ye Chenfeng was mocking him. He growled, "Brat, since you want to court death, I’ll fulfill your wish!"
Zheng Yuanzhi’s right fist became even fiercer, an overwhelming force seemingly poised to pierce straight through Ye Chenfeng’s chest.
Just as Zheng Yuanzhi was confident Ye Chenfeng couldn’t escape death, Ye Chenfeng swiftly extended his right palm to block the incoming punch. Zheng Yuanzhi sneered disdainfully, "Brat, say goodbye to your arm!"
"Such a reckless fool," Zhang Wenxuan murmured indifferently from a distance.
With a sudden "Boom!"
As Ye Chenfeng’s palm met Zheng Yuanzhi’s fist, a streak of green flame erupted from Ye Chenfeng’s palm. Before anyone noticed the flame, it had already infiltrated Zheng Yuanzhi’s body.
With a thunderous roar, Zheng Yuanzhi’s body exploded in an instant, reducing him to a smoldering pile of ash within mere seconds. He hadn’t even managed a scream.
Having reabsorbed the Green Flame into his body before anyone could register it, Ye Chenfeng stared coldly at Zheng Yuanzhi’s remains and remarked, "Who’s the one courting death? Now you know."
