The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1369 - 1360: Is it an Illusion? Not an Illusion?

"Hoo!"

After the Peak Ocean Gathering Realm elder was burned by the Green Flame, a portion of pure energy surged into Ye Chenfeng’s body, while another portion scattered toward the sky.

The Green Flame shrank again to the size of a palm and flew into Ye Chenfeng’s right palm. At this moment, Ye Chenfeng absorbed a portion of energy from a Initial Stage Ocean Gathering Realm expert, a portion from a Late Stage Ocean Gathering Realm expert, and a portion from a Peak Ocean Gathering Realm expert.

These pure energies surged into Ye Chenfeng’s meridians like raging torrents, coursing through repeatedly, seeming like they were about to burst his meridians apart.

The fiercely burning Green Flame in his right hand made Ye Chenfeng feel as if his entire hand was about to be cooked. His entire right palm was fiercely red, as if it was stained with fresh blood.

At this point, Ye Chenfeng couldn’t sit down to digest the energy in his meridians nor could he retract the Green Flame into his dantian. He urgently needed to deal with Jiang Junhua in front of him.

Jiang Junhua, holding the Heaven-shaking Staff, shivered involuntarily upon seeing the elder turned into ashes instantly by the Green Flame. However, he didn’t panic completely, instead, he swung the Heaven-shaking Staff at Ye Chenfeng the moment the loose cultivator elder was burned.

Jiang Junhua clearly felt the power of Green Flame. He understood that if touched by it, he wouldn’t escape reduction to ashes either. But thinking of its scorching heat made his limbs feel weak, diminishing his attack’s momentum and power.

Ye Chenfeng saw the staff’s shadow striking toward his head, quickly lifted his right foot, and accurately kicked the end of the Heaven-shaking Staff toward the ground. With a swift forceful jab of his right foot’s tip, "Swoosh!" Jiang Junhua’s trembling hands failed to grip, sending the heaven-shaking staff flying skyward.

Jiang Junhua, deprived of his Heaven-shaking Staff, felt like his last lifeline was pulled away, displaying panic and fear on his face while retreating eight steps.

"Bang!"

The Heaven-shaking Staff kicked skyward landed beside Ye Chenfeng, with half of its shaft embedded in the earth.

As the Green Flame burned on his palm, Ye Chenfeng found it increasingly unbearable, fearing his entire right hand might become useless. He glanced at Jiang Junhua ahead, prepared to end his wretched life directly.

Jiang Junhua, sensing Ye Chenfeng’s icy gaze and the scorching Green Flame in his hand, understood that despite possibly being stronger, Ye Chenfeng’s Green Flame could kill him instantly.

"Kid, relying on external forces doesn’t show real capability. Come and battle me with your true strength." Jiang Junhua shouted angrily, attempting a provocative tactic.

"I don’t have time for your nonsense. Just because you say so, I’m supposed to duel you? You all attacked me together earlier, and now you preach independence? Just obediently accept your fate; second chances don’t exist." Ye Chenfeng’s right palm contracted slightly, compressing the Green Flame.

Jiang Junhua realized Ye Chenfeng paid his provocation no mind. Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s hand move decisively, he dared not posture anymore, knowing he was stupid for even attempting. Feelings of powerlessness surged, "Thud!" He fell to his knees before Ye Chenfeng, pleading, "Forgive me for Shui family’s sake, for Sister Zi Yan’s sake, please spare me!"

"Weren’t you trying to kill Shui Menghan just now? How would Shui Ziyan feel knowing you wanted to murder her sibling?"

"Does begging for mercy help now?"

Ye Chenfeng refused further argument with Jiang Junhua; with a flick of his right fingers, the Green Flame shot toward Jiang Junhua.

Kneeling, Jiang Junhua saw the Green Flame shooting his way, his face immediately overwhelmed by terror. Before being engulfed, his pants had leaked fluid, revealing traces of excrement; Jiang Junhua involuntarily disgraced himself before death.

"Pssh!"

Engulfed in Green Flame, Jiang Junhua’s body instantly turned to ashes, with part of his energy flowing into Ye Chenfeng, and part dispersing skyward again.

Ye Chenfeng glanced up, noticing this portion was indeed absorbed by a distant skyborne black portal.

This black portal was extraordinarily bizarre, previously almost misleading Ye Chenfeng’s focus. As he prepared to retract his gaze, a giant hand extended from the portal.

Estimations suggested this enormous hand was as large as an adult human, possessing an ashen grey, densely inscribed with peculiar runes across its back, invoking a chilling sensation for Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng abruptly averted his gaze, shaking his head vigorously, muttering, "Was it a hallucination? How could a massive hand emerge from that black portal? Could someone be residing within? It must be an illusion."

Intense pain jolted Ye Chenfeng from his muttering reverie, as the Green Flame spontaneously returned to his right palm, its skin cracked severely.

Ye Chenfeng quickly drew the Green Flame into his dantian, feeling the piercing heat within his meridians. The Ice Snow Lotus’s suppression brought him relief.

Now his meridians were enriched with pure energy from a Initial Stage Ocean Gathering Realm Fourth Heaven expert, escalating the pain. Ye Chenfeng urgently needed to merge all meridian energy into his body.

However, doubt lingered over the enormous hand from the sky-black portal. Unable to resist, he glanced again at the distant sky, confirming no hand stretched forth this time; he heaved a sigh, murmuring, "Was it really a hallucination?"

Just as Ye Chenfeng exhaled deeply, his eyes widened sharply, because instead of the giant hand, a human-sized eye emerged from the black portal.

This eye was filled with lifelessness; upon Ye Chenfeng noticing it, it seemed to fixate on him in return.

Suddenly, the surrounding air became heavy, as if a tremendous pressure enveloped Ye Chenfeng, discomfort suffusing his chest, "Splash!" Blood spewed from his mouth.

Meanwhile, as Ye Chenfeng instantly retracted his gaze, the suppressive force gradually dissipated, finally normalizing.

Ye Chenfeng’s back was soaked in perspiration, breath unsteady; were the hand and eye in the sky-black portal mere illusions?

Observing the blood he just spat on the ground, Ye Chenfeng acknowledged the reality—what madness lay within the black portal? He sensed a growing complexity surrounding this relic.

First appeared the legendary Sword God’s tomb, now such eerie occurrences. Ye Chenfeng felt few would escape this relic alive.

Nonetheless, Ye Chenfeng focused on absorbing his meridian energies, eager to ascertain his power level after gathering energies from three Ocean Gathering Realm Third Heaven experts and one Fourth Heaven expert.
