The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2288 - 2277: Who Says I’m Trying to Escape?

A legend?

The Array of Ten Deaths Without Life?

Hearing the words spoken by Old Bai Wu Fengxian and Old Hei Jiang Yuntian, Ye Chenfeng couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion. He hadn't perceived any particularly strange formations in this realm. In his mind, he quickly inquired, "Old Bai, Old Hei, what legend are you referring to? And what exactly is this Array of Ten Deaths Without Life?"

Old Bai Wu Fengxian responded, "The ancient records concerning the history of the Bloodswallow Clan contain detailed information, even mentioning certain legendary accounts that are yet to be verified. The Array of Ten Deaths Without Life is one such speculative concept detailed within."

"According to the ancient text, when the Bloodswallow Clan experienced a period of rapid ascendancy, and other races found themselves unable to effectively subdue them, a contingent of exceptionally skilled Array Masters, whose mastery of formations had reached unparalleled heights, even surpassing that of Old Hei and myself, managed to infiltrate the ancestral grounds of the Bloodswallow Clan by utilizing their formidable formation techniques."

"Their objective was to establish the Array of Ten Deaths Without Life. However, it appears that this group of Array Masters, having stealthily gained entry, was discovered by the Bloodswallow Clan."

"Naturally, the combat prowess of these Array Masters was insufficient to contend with the might of the Bloodswallow Clan. The ancient book states that not a single one of those Array Masters survived to exit the Bloodswallow Clan's ancestral domain."

"Consequently, the ancient text does not definitively confirm whether the Array of Ten Deaths Without Life was actually erected within the ancestral territory of the Bloodswallow Clan."

Old Hei Jiang Yuntian also chimed in, "The Array of Ten Deaths Without Life is imperceptible to ordinary individuals. Only those aware of the array's 'Array Eyes' can sense its presence."

"Old Bai and I recently recalled this specific event. Coincidentally, the ancient book elaborates on the establishment of the Array of Ten Deaths Without Life and its intricacies, which has enabled us to pinpoint the location of the array's 'Array Eyes'."

"Acting on a whim, with a 'let's see what happens' mentality, we attempted to sense it within this realm, and indeed, we detected the 'Array Eyes' of the Array of Ten Deaths Without Life."

"It would seem that the group of Array Masters who infiltrated the Bloodswallow Clan's ancestral land had only just completed the setup of the Array of Ten Deaths Without Life when they were discovered by the Bloodswallow Clan, leaving them no time for its complete activation."

"Moreover, owing to the peculiar nature of this Array of Ten Deaths Without Life, the Bloodswallow Clan never became aware that a colossal formation had been established within their ancestral home."

Upon absorbing Old Bai and Old Hei's explanation, Ye Chenfeng finally grasped the situation. However, before any elation could surface, Old Bai Wu Fengxian tempered his enthusiasm, saying, "Young man, with your current cultivation level, you can only initiate the preliminary activation of the Array of Ten Deaths Without Life. To achieve full activation, an immense surge of power must be channeled into the 'Array Eyes'. Currently, due to the ongoing restoration of our residual souls, Old Hei and I are unable to provide any assistance."

"There remains only one highly perilous method available. Are you prepared to attempt it? The core of this formation is an encompassing net of heaven and earth, embodying 'Ten Deaths Without Life'."

"The 'Array Eyes' for the Array of Ten Deaths Without Life are situated high in the sky. To activate the formation, you must position yourself precisely at these 'Array Eyes'. Once the formation is preliminarily engaged, the entirety of the Bloodswallow Clan's ancestral land will generate a force specifically directed against them. According to the ancient text, others will remain unaffected by this array."

"The moment you initiate the preliminary activation of the Array of Ten Deaths Without Life, the Bloodswallow Clan will instantly perceive that something is amiss. Although they will be incapable of approaching you at the 'Array Eyes', their offensive capabilities can still be directed towards you. At that juncture, you must harness the attacking force directed at you and channel it entirely into the 'Array Eyes', utilizing the Bloodswallow Clan's own offensive power to bring the Array of Ten Deaths Without Life to its full potential."

"However, employing your physical body as a conduit for such immense power will inflict severe damage, potentially leading to a life-threatening situation. Nevertheless, this is the sole remaining recourse. Throughout this process, you must continuously employ the Immortal Golden Body technique, which should substantially mitigate the risk of mortality."

"Furthermore, once the Array of Ten Deaths Without Life is fully activated, the Bloodswallow Clan's ancestral domain will inevitably face complete annihilation. During the collapse, several pathways leading to the outside will materialize. As the individual responsible for activating the formation, you will be unable to depart immediately. As the ancestral land disintegrates, it will transform into Spatial Turbulence, and you will be caught within its chaotic currents."

"At that critical moment, you must locate an exit amidst the Spatial Turbulence. Do you consent to undertake this perilous trial?"

At present, Ye Chenfeng finds himself with no alternative. Should he refrain from activating the Array of Ten Deaths Without Life, he would be no match for the Bloodswallow Clan, rendering this array's exclusive targeting of Hua Wanchuan and his associates pointless.

However, confronting the Bloodswallow Clan is the paramount concern at this moment. Ye Chenfeng directed his gaze towards Tan Yuanwu, who was positioned beside him, bearing the lifeless bodies of two Bloodswallow Clan members. He once again sent a telepathic message: "Should any shift occur in this realm, you are to immediately assist Xiao Rou and the others in their recovery. I have devised a strategy to handle the Bloodswallow Clan. The instant an exit to the outside world materializes here, you must depart without concern for me. I assure you, I will find my own way to leave."

Ye Chenfeng's solemn words resonated within Tan Yuanwu's mind. He understood that Ye Chenfeng was not speaking lightly and that he needed to share the burden. The sole responsibility he could undertake was to aid Bai Xiaorou and the rest in their recovery. In response, he offered a slight nod to Ye Chenfeng.

The leader of the Bloodswallow Clan, Tun Tian, observing Ye Chenfeng's apparent hesitation to speak, let out another cold chuckle. "You brat, do you still harbor thoughts of opposing our Bloodswallow Clan? While your combat prowess is considerable, your cultivation is lamentably low; this is your fatal deficiency."

"However, rest assured, as I proclaimed earlier, I shall not grant you an easy demise. The enigmas you conceal intrigue me profoundly. For the sake of satisfying my curiosity, I shall indulge you in this game."

Tun Tian craned his neck and advanced a step, his gaze fixed firmly upon Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng channeled the Spiritual Energy coursing through his being to its utmost limit, simultaneously unleashing the Four-Star Secret Method, Thousand Thunder Flash. Just as the onlookers presumed he was launching a reckless assault on Tun Tian.

In a sudden maneuver, Ye Chenfeng ascended into the heavens. Tun Tian scoffed coldly, "Within the hallowed grounds of our Bloodswallow Clan's ancestral domain, do you truly believe escape is possible?"

His swiftness, amplified by the effect of the Thousand Thunder Flash, propelled Ye Chenfeng to a considerable altitude in mere moments. He calmly retorted, "And who suggested I sought to flee?"
