The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2286 - 2275: Seizing the Opportunity, Striking with Precision

The fourth blood-red character, signifying 'life,' gradually faded from the sky.

The ground of the Bloodswallow Clan's territory began to tremble, the tremors intensifying until fine cracks spiderwebbed across the surface.

Hua Wanchuan, Luo Qianhai, and the others frowned, their senses on high alert. The demise of so many cultivators made this so-called Divine Emperor's tomb feel particularly unsettling, casting doubt on its legendary status.

"Boom!" A thunderous sound resonated from above.

The sky darkened further, clouds churning restlessly overhead.

Slowly, the celestial canvas began to shift in hue, a faint crimson gradually bleeding across it.

As moments ticked by, the pale red deepened, transforming into a rich, blood-red.

Before long, the entire sky was engulfed in a crimson expanse, as if violently stained by fresh blood.

An ominous scent of blood wafted downwards, amplifying Hua Wanchuan and the others' unease. At that precise moment, the ground, already covered in a intricate network of cracks, was also suffused with a blood-red hue.

As the earth turned a sanguine color, the metallic tang of blood in the air grew intensely pungent for Hua Wanchuan and the rest.

Suddenly, a chilling, solemn voice echoed throughout the realm: "With the resurgence of our Bloodswallow Clan this time, this land shall be ours alone. We, the Bloodswallow Clan, are the true sovereigns of this world."

Upon hearing this profound declaration, Ye Chenfeng and Tan Yuanwu remained largely unfazed. However, Luo Qianjiang and Jin Hongsheng's countenances underwent a dramatic shift. They recalled Ye Chenfeng's earlier assertion that this was not a Divine Emperor's tomb but belonged to the Bloodswallow Clan's ancestral grounds—a warning they had previously dismissed as a ploy to evade danger.

Now, witnessing the devastating power of the Undying Seal, which had instantly claimed the lives of dozens of cultivators, and hearing the spectral voice reverberate through the very fabric of existence, an intense premonition gripped them. While they had previously alluded to the Brain-Eating Ghost Insects, the Bloodswallow Clan had never been mentioned, treated more as a fanciful tale given their unfamiliarity with such a race.

Essentially, Luo Qianjiang and Jin Hongsheng had dismissed the existence of the Bloodswallow Clan as mere figments of Ye Chenfeng's imagination.

However, after the voice boomed across the landscape, Luo Qianjiang and Jin Hongsheng began to concede that Ye Chenfeng's words held truth, and that this place was, in fact, the ancestral domain of the Bloodswallow Clan, not a Divine Emperor's tomb.

Previously, Ye Chenfeng had obliquely mentioned the Bloodswallow Clan to Luo Qianjiang and Jin Hongsheng, intending to thwart their potential revival. Ironically, he now required the Bloodswallow Clan's blood. Despite Luo Qianjiang and the others' inclination to halt their resurgence, Ye Chenfeng appeared resolute in ensuring their rebirth.

Subsequently, Luo Qianjiang and Jin Hongsheng relayed Ye Chenfeng's prior mention of the Bloodswallow Clan to Hua Wanchuan, Luo Qianhai, and the others. Upon receiving this information, all eyes shifted towards Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng, having been keenly observing the world's transformations, also overheard Luo Qianjiang and Jin Hongsheng's account. With a calm demeanor, he inquired, "Oh? So now you acknowledge my words weren't just baseless fabrications? The revival of the Bloodswallow Clan is entirely a consequence of your actions."

"Did you not desperately seek my demise? Were you not intent on unraveling my secrets? I fear that long before you achieve the goal of killing me, your own lives will be claimed by the Bloodswallow Clan."

"Do you comprehend the nature of the Bloodswallow Clan? Allow me to illuminate you: following the decline and subsequent disappearance of the Dragon Clan in the distant Ancient Era, it was the Bloodswallow Clan that ascended to prominence. In that epoch, the Bloodswallow Clan nearly supplanted the Dragon Clan as the preeminent race, but a united front of all races barely managed to annihilate them."

"In the aftermath, all records pertaining to the Bloodswallow Clan were systematically erased. Do you genuinely believe, with your current capabilities, that you stand a chance against the Bloodswallow Clan? To defeat them? The current era pales in comparison to the might of the Ancient Era."

Ye Chenfeng's discourse was abruptly cut short.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!——"

A series of concussive sounds emanated from beneath the earth, striking Hua Wanchuan and the others' hearts like a relentless foundry hammer.

Having heard Ye Chenfeng's detailed account of the Bloodswallow Clan and witnessing his unwavering confidence, they largely accepted his narrative. If his words were true, their chances of escaping this place seemed exceedingly slim.

In close proximity to the location where the colossal blood-red character for 'life' had materialized upon the ground,

The overlying soil began to churn and loosen with astonishing speed, as though some immense entity was preparing to breach the surface.

Suddenly.

A vast, square chasm rent open the earth, its dimensions comparable to that of a grand arena!

Swiftly, a square platform materialized, upon which stood around fifty crimson-hued creatures.

These beings, standing between 1.5 and 1.6 meters tall, possessed monkey-like visages with pointed chins. Their skin was so thin that the circulation of blood beneath was plainly visible.

They were identified as members of the Bloodswallow Clan, having just emerged from beneath the earth.

It could be said that the Bloodswallow Clan had only just experienced a full revival, and upon their emergence, they were momentarily disoriented, struggling to regain control of their physical forms.

Foreseeing this, Ye Chenfeng was aware that the Bloodswallow Clan would require a brief period of adjustment after the seal's demise. Thus, the instant they appeared, he surged towards them.

The onlookers remained stunned by the unfolding events.

The foremost members of the Bloodswallow Clan exhibited the weakest combat prowess; having endured a lengthy sealing period, they too needed time to recuperate their former strength. Consequently, those at the forefront were all at the peak of the seventh level of the Heavenly God Realm.

Ye Chenfeng advanced.

He unsheathed the Qingyun Sword.

With a swift arc, the Qingyun Sword severed the necks of the first ten Bloodswallow Clan members in the ranks, catching them in a state of complete unpreparedness. Ye Chenfeng's decisive action in confronting them resulted in the immediate demise of these ten peak seventh-level Heavenly God Realm combatants.

Just as Ye Chenfeng prepared to press his advantage, he detected that the remaining Bloodswallow Clan members had nearly regained full control of their bodies. He realized that protracted slaughter might lead to him being encircled.

Therefore.

Ye Chenfeng casually retrieved two corpses of the Bloodswallow Clan and retreated to Tan Yuanwu's side.

The blood essential for the rescue of Bai Xiaorou and Wu Lingxiang was now secured. The sole remaining consideration was how to manage the rest of the Bloodswallow Clan, who were nearing complete bodily adaptation.
