The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2314: 2303: Pursuit and Assassination

Chapter 2314: Chapter 2303: Pursuit and Assassination

Inside the domain of the Flame Demon Fish.

As the old saying goes, when two powers clash, a third party often benefits!

Discovering that the carcasses of Flame Demon Fish could be utilized to elevate the temperature of his Green Flame,

Ye Chenfeng commenced to continually ignite the Green Flame upon the Flame Demon Fish corpses scattered across the ground.

This expedition saw over fifty cultivators from Floating Cloud City enter the lair, their power levels spanning from the Earth God Realm to the Heavenly God Realm. Furthermore, the strength of the third City Lord, Cheng Gaorong, resided at the Mid Divine King Realm.

The deceased Flame Demon Fish on the ground possessed power ranging from the Divinity Transformation Realm up to the Heavenly God Realm. The entire lair was home to several thousand Flame Demon Fish, and the number of casualties was truly immense, with a corpse appearing every few steps.

The particular passage Ye Chenfeng traversed at this moment seemed to be in serene silence. A fierce battle must have recently concluded here, with the combatants having moved on, thus enabling Ye Chenfeng to effortlessly let the Green Flame consume the fallen Flame Demon Fish.

As the Green Flame diligently absorbed the corpses, the fire-attribute energy within these creatures proved exceptionally potent, causing the temperature of the Green Flame to ascend steadily. The initial temperature output of the Green Flame was not particularly high, which accounted for its rapid increase.

After assimilating approximately a hundred Flame Demon Fish corpses, whose strength ranged from Divinity Transformation to Heavenly God Realm, the Green Flame's temperature successfully breached the Earth God Realm threshold, attaining the capability to incinerate a cultivator at the Peak Initial Stage of the Earth God Realm.

Proceeding cautiously through the interconnected tunnels, the sheer abundance of Flame Demon Fish carcasses underfoot significantly aided the Green Flame's progression in power.

Ye Chenfeng, all the while maintaining awareness of his surroundings, directed the Green Flame to sweep through and absorb the fallen Flame Demon Fish along his path.

The greater the temperature achieved, the more gradual the subsequent increases became.

Yet, the passages were replete with Flame Demon Fish corpses, predominantly from the Heavenly God Realm. Ye Chenfeng observed that these creatures appeared to have been dispatched with a single, decisive blow. It was highly probable that only the third City Lord, Cheng Gaorong, possessed such overwhelming might.

Naturally, the ground was also littered with the remains of Floating Cloud City cultivators. Ye Chenfeng made a rough estimate, noting he had already seen nearly fifty such bodies, suggesting fewer than five individuals remained alive.

Ye Chenfeng held little concern for the fate of the Floating Cloud City cultivators; his priority was accelerating the Green Flame's temperature enhancement. As the Heavenly God Realm and Earth God Realm corpses were sequentially devoured, the Green Flame's temperature escalated at a consistent rate.

Considering the Green Flame had, by this point, developed sentience, and Ye Chenfeng's physical form was already comparable to that of a mid-stage Divine Venerable, the control over the Green Flame's ever-increasing heat posed no significant issue, even in his current state of being unable to circulate spiritual energy through his meridians.

Following the consumption of several hundred more Flame Demon Fish carcasses, the Green Flame's temperature finally ascended into the Initial Stage of the Heavenly God Realm, now possessing the power to annihilate a cultivator at the Initial Stage of the Heavenly God Realm.

Just as Ye Chenfeng intended to allow the Green Flame to continue its feast,

from a side passage to his rightward flank, two distinct auras surged forth. Before he could fully process the situation, a figure materialized within his field of vision — was this not Bao Xiangtian, who held a cultivation at the Peak of the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly God Realm?

Upon sighting Ye Chenfeng, Bao Xiangtian also faltered momentarily. It was evident he was taken aback that Ye Chenfeng was still alive. His gaze then fell upon the Green Flame blazing fiercely in Ye Chenfeng’s palm, instantly recognizing it as a Heaven and Earth Flame, radiating considerable heat – a genuine treasure!

Bao Xiangtian bellowed,

Fortunately, the Flame Demon Fish that had been pursuing Bao Xiangtian did not follow Ye Chenfeng in his escape path.

After traveling onward with the Green Flame for the span of an hour,

Ye Chenfeng’s surroundings suddenly broadened, revealing a vast, spacious chamber that the Green Flame had guided him into.

Two distinct corridor entrances were visible around the perimeter of this open space, implying that two separate passages converged in this area.

At the very heart of this chamber,

a naturally formed pool lay waiting, brimming with a seething, purple-red liquid flame.

This peculiar flame liquid radiated an incredibly intense heat.

With a swift scan, Ye Chenfeng discerned that this naturally formed pool possessed considerable depth, extending downwards for at least several hundred meters.

As Ye Chenfeng was briefly pondering his situation,

a figure materialized, flashing into view from one of the other corridor entrances.

To Ye Chenfeng's surprise, it was none other than Bao Xiangtian, who had just made his escape! It appeared the path he had fled through also eventually led to this very location.

Bao Xiangtian no longer exhibited any signs of panic. He must have employed some temporary measure or technique to evade the pursuing Flame Demon Fish.

Upon witnessing Ye Chenfeng also reach this sanctuary, Bao Xiangtian offered a slight smirk and declared, "Kid, your luck has run out this time. I never would have guessed you possessed a Heaven and Earth Flame. Who knew someone like you was lurking within that pile of refuse."

Bao Xiangtian then shook his head, remarking, "Such a waste! Without any discernible aura about you, the Heaven and Earth Flame you hold is merely a dangerous burden. If you surrender the Heaven and Earth Flame willingly, I will grant you a swift end."

At present, the Green Flame's temperature had only escalated to the Initial Stage of the Heavenly God Realm, whereas Bao Xiangtian stood at the Peak of the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly God Realm. Directly confronting Bao Xiangtian with the Green Flame's power was an impossibility.

Ye Chenfeng's gaze became fixated on the natural pool situated beside him, and without further hesitation, he plunged into its depths.

The moment he entered the pool, the Green Flame instantly surged around Ye Chenfeng.

Observing Ye Chenfeng's daring dive into the boiling purple-red flame liquid, Bao Xiangtian hesitated for only a few seconds before he, too, leaped into the pool. This mysterious space was devoid of any Heaven and Earth Flames, making the Green Flame in Ye Chenfeng's possession an irresistible allure for Bao Xiangtian.
