The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2294 - 2283: I Will Survive
Previously on The Strongest Dandy in the City...
As Luo Qianhai and his companions departed through the expansive, white gateway.
The disintegration of the Bloodswallow Clan’s ancestral domain accelerated, while Ye Chenfeng remained suspended in the heavens. His Immortal Golden Body had been fully engaged, but with his Divine Blood not yet recovered, he could no longer access that power.
He had been tirelessly managing the Array of Ten Deaths Without Life, a task that proved immensely draining. Compounding his exhaustion, Ye Chenfeng had sustained grievous injuries, with blood seeping from the corner of his lips. Tun Tian was the sole survivor remaining on the ground. Just as Ye Chenfeng prepared to fully catalyze the Array of Ten Deaths Without Life to eliminate Tun Tian,
Bai Xiaorou, Wu Lingxiang, Jiang Caixuan, Zhao Jinpeng, and Tan Yuanwu materialized within Ye Chenfeng’s field of vision. As they advanced, Ye Chenfeng urgently cried out, "What are you doing here? Flee this place, the Bloodswallow Clan’s ancestral land! Do you court death?"
Having initiated the Array of Ten Deaths Without Life, Ye Chenfeng was compelled to remain until the formation ceased to function entirely. At that juncture, the ancestral land of the Bloodswallow Clan would crumble, and he would inevitably be caught in the spatiotemporal chaos, necessitating the discovery of an escape route within it.
Should he abandon the array's core prematurely, the Array of Ten Deaths Without Life would instantly deactivate, rendering the elimination of Tun Tian impossible. Already critically wounded and depleted, failing to maintain the array's power would not only mean his own demise but likely that of Bai Xiaorou and the others as well.
Wu Lingxiang, Zhao Jinpeng, Tan Yuanwu, and the rest had never anticipated witnessing such a spectacle. Ye Chenfeng, confronting a cultivator at the Early Divine Venerate Realm and forty cultivators of the Divine King Realm, leaving Tun Tian alone from the Early Divine Venerate Realm? Had he dispatched the other forty Divine Kings? Their hearts churned with disbelief.
Bai Xiaorou dismissed all other concerns, exclaiming, "Brother Ye, Xiaorou will not abandon you; we shall depart together."
Wu Lingxiang added, "Ye Chenfeng, I detest being indebted to others, and you acquired the Bloodswallow Clan’s essence blood for us. I am already indebted to you. To depart now, what sort of person do you perceive me to be?"
Even the typically aloof Jiang Caixuan altered her demeanor, stating with sincerity, "Ye Chenfeng, I have never owed anyone anything in my life! Why should I owe you? You expect us to leave merely because you command it?"
Tan Yuanwu and Zhao Jinpeng remained silent, yet their expressions conveyed an unwavering resolve, signaling their intent to stay.
The fissures in the sky expanded relentlessly, the earth cracked wider, and the very fabric of space within the Bloodswallow Clan’s ancestral land contorted violently, radiating an escalating destructive aura.
If Bai Xiaorou and her companions persisted in remaining, they would soon face imminent peril—the spatiotemporal turbulence was not to be trifled with.
Ye Chenfeng, blood streaming from his lips, bellowed with fierce urgency, "Leave this instant! Why do you hesitate? Do you wish for all my efforts to be in vain? Remaining here serves no purpose. I assure you, I will survive, and I vow to be reunited with you alive; depart now!"
This mighty roar seemed to drain Ye Chenfeng of his remaining strength, causing his figure to sway precariously.
Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s thunderous command, Wu Lingxiang, Jiang Caixuan, and the others finally comprehended that Ye Chenfeng’s sole desire was for them to escape. Gazing at him above, his mouth continuously bleeding, his attire in tatters, and his body marred by numerous wounds, their hearts grew heavy with concern.
While Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan were unaware of Ye Chenfeng’s lineage as the Dragon Clan Leader, Zhao Jinpeng was privy to this truth. Ye Chenfeng’s commanding roar jolted him into lucidity, for he believed a Dragon Clan Leader would not perish so easily. He understood Ye Chenfeng’s actions were a deliberate ploy to ensure their safe departure.
Zhao Jinpeng gritted his teeth and declared, "Let us go! To remain would negate Chenfeng’s purpose, and we must place our trust in him; he will endure."
Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan pressed their lips together, their captivating eyes fixed intently on Ye Chenfeng suspended in the sky.
At that moment, in their collective gaze, Ye Chenfeng, clad in ragged garments with an expression of resolute determination, appeared utterly mesmerizing. Wu Lingxiang clenched her jaw and spoke, "Ye Chenfeng, you had better survive; I shall dedicate the rest of my life to repaying your kindness."
Jiang Caixuan also proclaimed, "Ye Chenfeng, heed my words! The next time we meet, I shall be your woman."
Bai Xiaorou, however, gazed stubbornly at Ye Chenfeng, showing no inclination to depart.
Subsequently, Ye Chenfeng transmitted his voice to Zhao Jinpeng. Upon receiving the directive, Zhao Jinpeng seized an opportune moment, while Bai Xiaorou was momentarily distracted, to render her unconscious.
Carrying the now-unconscious Bai Xiaorou, Zhao Jinpeng cast one final glance at Ye Chenfeng in the sky before making his way toward the nearest immense, white opening.
Wu Lingxiang, Jiang Caixuan, and Tan Yuanwu exchanged solemn looks with Ye Chenfeng before closely following in Zhao Jinpeng's wake.
After Zhao Jinpeng and the others had completely vanished into the Bloodswallow Clan’s ancestral ground, Ye Chenfeng finally released a light breath. The Tun Tian, bound by the earth and energy lines, let out a dark scoff. "How touching! Kid, is it truly worth it? Do you genuinely believe you can escape alive? Once you’re ensnared by the spatial turbulence, all hope of survival will be extinguished, and you’ll be lost within it forever."
Ye Chenfeng paid no mind to Tun Tian’s chilling taunt. His arms were suddenly raised high above his head as he bellowed once more, "Heaven and Earth form a net, ten deaths with no escape!"
The collapse of the Bloodswallow Clan’s ancestral ground intensified even further.
Tun Tian, immobilized by the earth and energy lines, began to shriek eerily. His voice boomed, "Damn brat, I never imagined that I, the Clan Leader of the Bloodswallow Clan, would meet my end at your hands."
Every single thing within the Bloodswallow Clan’s ancestral ground began to disappear, transmuting entirely into spatial turbulence.
As Tun Tian’s form drew near to the point of energy-line induced combustion, a blinding white light erupted from him. Despite the resounding explosion, Ye Chenfeng could not discern if Tun Tian had truly dissolved into mist.
A heavy burden settled upon Ye Chenfeng’s head, and he lost consciousness.
The very moment he succumbed to unconsciousness, the Bloodswallow Clan’s ancestral ground vanished entirely, the surrounding space ripped asunder.
The Bloodswallow Clan’s ancestral ground was absorbed into the spatial turbulence.
