The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2323 - 2312: Nothing More Than This

As Ye Chenfeng materialized in the sky, every single person present turned their attention upwards, their gazes fixed on the figure suspended in mid-air. Most were utterly perplexed, wondering about the sudden appearance of this individual.

With a simple wave of his arm towards the stone pillars within the formation below, Ye Chenfeng unleashed two gentle yet potent forces that immediately descended. These currents swiftly dissolved the restraints binding Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong, propelling them out of the formation and onto the solid ground outside.

Thanks to Ye Chenfeng’s profound understanding of formations, he effortlessly discerned the inherent weaknesses within the ground-based array. This knowledge enabled him to easily manipulate his power, guiding the siblings, Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong, out of the formation's confines.

The moment Ye Chenfeng appeared airborne, the old white Wu Fengxian and the old black Jiang Yuntian instantly recognized that Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong had awakened their Spirit Fire Divine Bodies—the very reason Cheng Gaorong had taken them.

Both old white Wu Fengxian and old black Jiang Yuntian proceeded to elucidate the significance of the Spirit Fire Divine Body to Ye Chenfeng.

Tan Muya, Chu Guangtian, and Cheng Gaorong were astonished. They had never anticipated that a mere casual gesture from Ye Chenfeng could expose the formation's flaws and extract Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong. The entire event unfolded with staggering suddenness.

Once ejected from the formation, Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong naturally caught sight of Ye Chenfeng. While initially moved by his timely arrival, their relief was quickly replaced by overwhelming concern. As ordinary individuals, they were incapable of gauging Ye Chenfeng’s true strength, nor could they comprehend how an Earth God Realm cultivator like Ye Chenfeng managed to infiltrate Floating Cloud City.

Having escaped the formation's grip, the discomfort experienced by Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong began to dissipate. Seeing Ye Chenfeng hovering above, they surmised his meridians must have healed. Nevertheless, apprehension lingered, for even with recovered meridians, how could an Earth God Realm cultivator possibly stand against the City Lords, who were in the Mid Divine King Realm? Gathering all her remaining strength, Cao Yunwei weakly called out, "Ye Chenfeng, flee quickly and don't concern yourself with us."

After a brief pause, Cao Xiaodong echoed her plea, shouting, "Brother Ye, my sister speaks the truth. You must depart immediately."

Tan Muya, Chu Guangtian, and Cheng Gaorong, all three Elders and Divine Kings, could readily perceive the aura emanating from Ye Chenfeng. Cheng Gaorong, recalling Ye Chenfeng as the pawn previously seen with the sibling pair, was perplexed. Why had Ye Chenfeng, who should have been a mere mortal, suddenly transformed into an expert of the Initial Divine King Realm?

Cheng Gaorong quickly apprised Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian of Ye Chenfeng’s identity before addressing him in the sky, his voice booming, "I never expected such a remarkable individual to be lurking in this refuse heap. With your Initial Divine King Realm cultivation, what is it you truly seek?"

Hearing Cheng Gaorong’s proclamation, Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong were utterly dumbfounded.

Could it be that Ye Chenfeng wasn't merely an Earth God Realm expert but was, in fact, an Initial Divine King Realm cultivator?

Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong knew Cheng Gaorong would not utter falsehoods, implying Ye Chenfeng genuinely possessed the Initial Divine King Realm cultivation, and he was merely thirty years old? This revelation shattered their existing understanding.

Though they had limited experience with the outside world, they were aware that attaining the Divine King Realm typically required extended periods of cultivation. Ye Chenfeng, however, had achieved this feat by the age of thirty, leading them to suspect he was a prominent figure beyond their city.

Yet, even the least powerful of the three City Lords was at the Mid Divine King Realm, while Ye Chenfeng was only at the Initial Divine King Realm! They understood that overcoming such a significant cultivation gap in combat was exceedingly difficult, almost impossible.

The frail Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong felt a surge of worry for Ye Chenfeng, and Cao Yunwei’s voice trembled as she implored again, "Ye Chenfeng, leave quickly, you must leave!"

Ye Chenfeng’s gaze settled upon Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong on the ground below. With a calm and resolute tone, he declared, "I gave my word to protect you two siblings, and I, Ye Chenfeng, never go back on my promises."

A wave of warmth washed over Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong upon hearing his words.

Ye Chenfeng then turned his attention to the three City Lords. After learning about the Spirit Fire Divine Body from old white and old black, and becoming aware of the City Lords’ malicious actions, his fury intensified immeasurably. Had he arrived even a moment later, the siblings might have been reduced to mere bloodied remains, consumed by these vile individuals.

The Spiritual Qi coursing through his meridians began to flow with increased intensity. His Initial Divine King Realm aura radiated outwards, causing Ye Chenfeng to resemble a volcano on the verge of eruption.

The Heavenly God Realm experts gathered on the ground, upon realizing Ye Chenfeng’s cultivation was at the Divine King Realm, hesitated to advance further. They understood that engaging him would only lead to their demise against such a formidable opponent.

Tan Muya, Chu Guangtian, and Cheng Gaorong, however, remained unfazed by Ye Chenfeng’s Initial Divine King Realm presence. They were confident that any one of them individually possessed strength far exceeding his.

Cheng Gaorong let out a cold laugh. "Boss, second brother, allow me to deal with this brat! He believes he's in the Initial Divine King Realm, but does he not understand the vastness of the world?"

As he finished speaking.

Cheng Gaorong ascended into the air.

The Spiritual Qi within his meridians had already been spurred into action, and neither Tan Muya nor Chu Guangtian made a move. In their estimation, Cheng Gaorong possessed superior cultivation to Ye Chenfeng and should have no difficulty in vanquishing him.

A dark, malevolent Spiritual Energy emanated from Cheng Gaorong’s form.

This black Spiritual Energy was saturated with an utterly sinister Qi, akin to the unholy aura of Hell itself.

Relentless waves of potent Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiated from his person.

A spectral vision of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood materialized behind him, striking terror into the hearts of all present on the ground, with the sole exceptions of Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian.

Cheng Gaorong was poised to unleash his most formidable Secret Technique: the Evil Yuan Ghost Palm.

This Evil Yuan Ghost Palm was a renowned Five-Star Secret Method, whispered about throughout both Floating Cloud City and this forsaken place.

Legend proclaimed its immense power, sufficient to obliterate cultivators of comparable standing in an instant; however, such tales were primarily circulated among inhabitants of Floating Cloud City and the surrounding desolate lands.

Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong, observing from below, held their breath. While they fervently wished for Ye Chenfeng to endure the onslaught, they were not ignorant of the technique’s fearsome reputation.

Tan Muya and Chu Guangtian, witnessing Cheng Gaorong immediately deploy the Evil Yuan Ghost Palm, offered faint smiles. Chu Guangtian remarked, "The third brother's opening move is a lethal assault. It appears there will be no grand spectacle; we can resume processing these Spirit Fire remains."

Cheng Gaorong took a step back, extending his hand forward.

A colossal spectral handprint coalesced, hurtling with vicious intent towards Ye Chenfeng, seemingly poised to swallow the heavens and earth.

"Brat, bid farewell to this world!" Cheng Gaorong jeered.

Confronted by the immense black handprint, Ye Chenfeng’s demeanor remained remarkably serene.

Though the Evil Yuan Ghost Palm was indeed a Five-Star Secret Method, Ye Chenfeng’s offensive and defensive capabilities had seen a substantial augmentation subsequent to his breakthrough into the Initial Divine King Realm. In his perception, Cheng Gaorong’s combat prowess felt decidedly lacking, at best comparable to a run-of-the-mill Mid Divine King Realm expert. This deficiency might stem from prolonged isolation within an enigmatic, resource-depleted zone, resulting in cultivators being less potent than their counterparts dwelling in more abundant locales.

Consequently, despite the menacing appearance of Cheng Gaorong’s palm strike, it struck Ye Chenfeng as an ultimately hollow threat.

Ye Chenfeng reinforced his immediate surroundings to their utmost defensive potential, his physical strength alone rivaling that of a Mid Divine Venerable expert.

"Boom!"

He stood unyielding as the gargantuan black handprint engulfed him.

Just as Cheng Gaorong, confident in Ye Chenfeng’s impending demise, prepared to voice his triumph with a sneer.

A chilling voice pierced the air, reaching his ears. "Is this the extent of your might? It seems the Mid Divine King Realm offers little challenge!"
