The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2316 - 2305: Ancestor? King of Fishes?

Bao Xiangtian maintained an air of relaxed composure.

Despite the extraordinary heat emanating from Ye Chenfeng’s Heaven and Earth Flame, the Green Flame, Bao Xiangtian perceived that it posed no fatal threat to him.

His gaze remained locked onto the pool of bubbling purple-red flame liquid. Bao Xiangtian's intention was to first cripple Ye Chenfeng, shattering his limbs, the moment he emerged from the flames.

As the silhouette within the pool drew nearer, spiritual energy coursed through Bao Xiangtian’s limbs. Seizing the opportune moment for his strike as Ye Chenfeng surfaced, he bellowed, "Kid, just await your demise obediently!"

However.

With a resounding "boom!"

The churning purple-red flame liquid erupted from the pool, its fiery tendrils splashing outwards in every direction.

This immense surge caused Bao Xiangtian to recoil involuntarily, momentarily preventing him from attacking Ye Chenfeng.

As the spattered purple-red flames subsided back into the pool, Ye Chenfeng's form materialized at its edge. He promptly activated the Spiritual Qi River flowing within his meridians.

Having cultivated three Supreme Techniques, Ye Chenfeng possessed three Spiritual Qi Rivers within his meridians. Yet, he could only operate one at a time, suggesting that merging these cultivation techniques was necessary to wield all three simultaneously.

When the Spiritual Qi River from the Divine Blood Art coursed through his meridians, a formidable aura erupted from Ye Chenfeng’s being. The pressure emanating from the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm bore down upon Bao Xiangtian.

Having previously retreated, Bao Xiangtian was poised to attack again. However, upon sensing Ye Chenfeng’s overwhelming momentum, he froze instantly. His eyes widened incredulously, his breath caught in his throat, struggling to comprehend what he felt and witnessed.

Bao Xiangtian scrutinized the situation multiple times, confirming it was no illusion. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he swallowed nervously, his emotions in turmoil.

He had just moments ago dismissed Ye Chenfeng as inconsequential trash, but the reality had drastically shifted. Could Ye Chenfeng truly be a cultivator at the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm?

Bao Xiangtian stammered in disbelief, "You... you possess the strength of the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm? How is this possible, emerging from the garbage dump? Just who are you?"

Having recovered his strength, Ye Chenfeng no longer feared Bao Xiangtian, whose abilities were merely at the Peak of the seventh layer of the Heavenly God Realm. He responded calmly, "Does my identity matter? You are soon to be a dead man. Is there a need to explain so much to someone nearing their end?"

The tranquil words struck Bao Xiangtian, causing his expression to contort in alarm. He had completely forgotten about the Green Flame. His immediate priority was self-preservation, and he promptly darted towards a passage, attempting to escape.

Yet, just as Bao Xiangtian reached the threshold of the passage, a figure materialized, obstructing his path.

Ye Chenfeng instantly appeared before Bao Xiangtian, a smile gracing his lips. "Why the haste to depart? Did you not covet my Heaven and Earth Flame? Did you not intend for me to suffer agonizing torment before I met my end?"

His escape route was now sealed.

Ye Chenfeng's speed was astounding, surpassing that which even a typical Initial Stage Divine King Realm practitioner could achieve. Bao Xiangtian realized escape from Ye Chenfeng's clutches was impossible.

Regaining his composure, Bao Xiangtian declared, "Young brother, surely we can resolve this amicably. I surmise you are new to this mysterious domain, for I would have heard of you otherwise. With your caliber, you could ascend to become the fourth City Lord of Floating Cloud City. Grant me my life, and I shall heed your every command."

Ye Chenfeng regarded Bao Xiangtian, whose words feigned sincerity, but his eyes betrayed a simmering murderous intent. Such an individual could not be allowed to live, especially after attempting to end Ye Chenfeng’s life.

Ye Chenfeng stated coldly, "Unfortunately, I have no use for dogs that turn on their masters."

At these words.

Bao Xiangtian understood that Ye Chenfeng offered no mercy. His combative posture, once primed for attack, now signaled a desperate fight to the death. With swiftness, he thrust his right hand towards Ye Chenfeng’s chest.

"Divine Ice Palm!"

A veneer of frost instantly encased Bao Xiangtian’s right palm, chilling the surrounding air. A concentrated burst of spiritual energy surged from his palm.

This unleashed spiritual energy rapidly coalesced into a frigid white ice sword, hurtling directly towards Ye Chenfeng’s heart.

With a sharp "crack."

The ice sword, forged from spiritual energy, failed to make contact with Ye Chenfeng’s body, shattering against the protective spiritual energy shield surrounding him.

The instant the white ice sword disintegrated.

Ye Chenfeng's right hand formed a seal, thrusting swiftly and forcefully towards Bao Xiangtian's throat, piercing through it.

With a soft 'pfft'.

As Ye Chenfeng withdrew his hand, a massive bloody chasm was revealed on Bao Xiangtian's neck, from which warm blood continuously spilled. His life force was utterly extinguished.

Having effortlessly dispatched Bao Xiangtian, Ye Chenfeng returned to the pool's edge, allowing the Green Flame to relentlessly absorb the searing essence within the boiling purple-red liquid. Suddenly.

The very ground of this isolated space began to tremble violently.

Soon after, the Green Flame abruptly retreated and flew back into Ye Chenfeng's grasp.

What astonished Ye Chenfeng the most was that in such a brief period, the Green Flame's temperature had ascended to the very Zenith of the seventh layer of the Heavenly God Realm, possessing the capability to incinerate a formidable cultivator of that very level?

Was this advancement not exceedingly rapid?

Did the fiery energy contained within the purple-red flame liquid truly hold such immense power?

Not long after the Green Flame returned to Ye Chenfeng's hand, the ground's tremors intensified even more fiercely.

A colossal black silhouette then erupted vertically from the depths of the pool, stretching approximately a hundred meters in length and several dozen meters in width – undeniably a gargantuan creature.

Upon witnessing the emergence of this massive entity.

It was unmistakably a Flame Demon Fish, yet its sheer size dwarfed any specimens Ye Chenfeng had encountered previously. Those other Flame Demon Fish paled in comparison, appearing as mere fingerlings next to this behemoth.

Furthermore, the aura emanating from this particular Flame Demon Fish resonated with the Zenith of the Divine King Realm.

A Flame Demon Fish at the Zenith of the Divine King Realm?

But its dimensions were simply colossal. Could this formidable Flame Demon Fish be the sovereign of all piscine life here, perhaps even the progenitor of every single Flame Demon Fish dwelling within this domain?
