The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2251 - 2240: The Methods of Two Women! Quicksand of Death!
Previously on The Strongest Dandy in the City...
Once the sky-blue barrier of the Immortal Artifact had been shattered.
Positioned beyond the city gates, Li Yuanmu thrust his hand into the empty air, causing the crimson sword silhouette above to scatter. The complete Sky-Cleaving Blade hurtled back into his grasp in an instant.
Li Yuanmu shot a glance toward Luo Qianjiang and the other Divine King realm experts, before their forms all raced toward the city together.
Luo Youfang, Jin Yangcai, and cultivators from assorted factions trailing those Divine King realm powerhouses pursued them, flooding into the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.
Members of the Yun family like Yun Zhen, Alchemy Pavilion Ancestor Sun Changnian, and Artifact Refinement Pavilion Master Lin Shouping displayed grins they could barely contain. Yun Zhen itched to behold the pitiful plight of Yun Rong and his group, Sun Changnian yearned for the remorseful looks on Yuan Kun and Gao Deming's faces, while Lin Shouping—who had turned against Artifact Refinement Pavilion Ancestor Tan Yuanwu and others—craved their utter ruin to confirm his wise alignment with Xiao Yao Palace and allied forces.
All residents of the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin had converged in the central square. Zhao Xingtu, Yun Rong, Tan Yuanwu, and their companions detected the surging mighty auras drawing near, stirring a storm of intricate emotions within them. Moments later, Luo Qianjiang, Zhao Wanfu, Jin Hongsheng, Li Yuanmu, plus four additional Initial Stage Divine King realm experts from diverse sects, materialized in the square.
Amusement danced in the eyes of Li Yuanmu and his allies as they surveyed the square's occupants, laced with simmering rage. Xiao Yao Palace, the Jins, and Heavenly Sword Sect had endured heavy blows earlier. In a grim roar, Luo Qianjiang declared, "Regret it now, do you? Believed the Immortal Artifact sky-blue barrier would let you cower inside the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin indefinitely? Aligning with Ye Chenfeng’s side condemned you to plunge deeper into folly. Ye Chenfeng plagues our Tian Xuan Realm like a curse. Scum like him must be wiped out without delay."
With a surge of sinister malice, Li Yuanmu proclaimed, "Should those from the Alchemy Pavilion, Artifact Refinement Pavilion, Talisman Master Pavilion, and Array Magic Pavilion submit to restraints planted in your Sea of Consciousness, your lives may yet be spared. This round, you aided evildoers against the full might of the Tian Xuan Realm. To bar any repeat offenses, this stands as your lone path forward. Refuse, and death claims you all."
"Naturally, for Ye Chenfeng’s closest allies, we’ll show mercy to one. We’re no merciless fiends. Provided they accept the restraints and a century-long seal on their meridians, Ye Chenfeng dreams of conquering the entire Tian Xuan Realm? His savagery defies comparison, and those bound tight to him share in heinous guilt."
Li Yuanmu piled lofty slanders atop Ye Chenfeng, as these self-styled paragons schemed with base trickery. Devoid of true cause, they’d always conjure twisted pretexts.
A century with sealed meridians? That renders one utterly powerless for a hundred years, dooming survival in the cultivation world to near impossibility. It’s a lingering execution, merely dressed in kinder words by Li Yuanmu, this vaunted champion of justice.
As Li Yuanmu wrapped up his words.
Luo Youfang and his group reached the square as well. Yun Zhen, the Yun family’s present leader, bellowed in fury at the sight of Yun Rong with blood trickling from his mouth, "Yun Rong, will you still refuse to repent even now?"
Sun Changnian fixed his gaze on Yuan Kun and Gao Deming, declaring, "As Deputy Pavilion Masters in my Alchemy Pavilion, behold your shameful acts? You fail to discern right from wrong, clinging stubbornly to your delusions. By rights, survival should elude you, but we extend a chance regardless. Do you plan to repent and reform?"
Lin Shouping turned to Artifact Refinement Pavilion Ancestor Tan Yuanwu and the rest, stating, "I warned you before—time would vindicate my choice as correct, yours as folly. I never betrayed you; it was you Ancestors who forsook the Artifact Refinement Pavilion."
Yun Zhen, Sun Changnian, and Lin Shouping’s barbs left Yun Rong, fellow Yun family members, Yuan Kun, Gao Deming, and Tan Yuanwu feeling a surge of bitter absurdity. Had they truly erred?
Throughout the ordeal, Xiao Yao Palace and their allies had relentlessly hounded Ye Chenfeng, launching repeated attempts on his life that all ended in failure. Yet now, they had the audacity to stand there acting all self-righteous?
Tan Yuanwu declared, "If you're set on killing us, then do it. Your pretense is as futile as trying to light up broad daylight. Do you really believe everyone in the world is blind?"
Yun Rong chimed in, "Death is just death, right? When has Yun Rong ever cowered before it? Brother Ye is the one who saved my life."
Led by Tan Yuanwu and Yun Rong, everyone on Ye Chenfeng’s side steeled themselves for death, their gazes burning with unyielding defiance.
Yun Zhen, Lin Shouping, Sun Changnian, and the rest watched this display, sneering coldly from the edges of their lips.
Li Yuanmu sneered icily, "Stubborn idiots."
Luo Qianjiang and the other Divine King realm experts started surging their auras from within. They intended to strike first and slaughter a bunch. Who in this world truly fears death? To them, these foes were merely caught up in a moment of rash bravery.
Right as Li Yuanmu and Luo Qianjiang prepared to attack.
Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan had donned gleaming silver-white gloves on their right hands at some point, clutching handfuls of black sand in those gloved palms. At first look, the black sand appeared utterly mundane.
But the instant Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan released their grip, letting the black sand drop, a dark stain swiftly expanded over the ground. Jiang Caixuan remarked, "These so-called elite sects of Central State are utterly ridiculous."
Li Yuanmu, Zhao Wanfu, Jin Hongsheng, and Luo Qianjiang up front sensed something ominous from the creeping blackness on the ground and hurriedly retreated.
Meanwhile, the four Initial Stage Divine King realm Ancestors from other factions behind them reacted too slowly. The darkness rapidly reached their feet.
Screams of "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" erupted abruptly.
The darkness climbed from the soles of those four Initial Stage Divine King realm Ancestors, surging upward until it engulfed their heads. Once their bodies were fully blackened, "Crack! Crack! Crack!" Those four Initial Stage Divine King realm Ancestors’ forms exploded into fragments, littering the ground.
Wu Lingxiang furrowed her brow, "Wasting the Quicksand of Death on trash like you is an insult."
In a mere blink, four Initial Stage Divine King realm Ancestors were obliterated? This shocking turn stunned every onlooker. No one could have foreseen the events unfolding this way—it was beyond all expectations.
