The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2339 - 2328: Driven to Desperation

The colossal fiery 'Energy Palm Seal' vanished into thin air.

Luo Qianjiang, now a bloody mess, plummeted from the sky and crashed onto the ground.

In this dire state, Luo Qianjiang was practically breathing his last. The Spiritual Qi within his body was rapidly draining, and his Golden Treasure Armor was riddled with cracks.

When this half-step Immortal Artifact was first acquired from the Xiao Yao Palace, it had already undergone repairs. Consequently, its defensive capabilities were not what they once were before the restoration.

Thus, under the devastating impact of a supreme Secret Technique, the Golden Treasure Armor fractured once more.

With a deafening 'bang!'

As the fissures on the Golden Treasure Armor continued to spread, the entire suit of armor disintegrated into countless fragments.

With his armor shattered, Luo Qianjiang was left completely exposed. His emaciated frame no longer bore any resemblance to a powerhouse of the Divine King Realm.

With each labored inhale.

Luo Qianjiang coughed up vast quantities of blood, his breathing growing increasingly shallow and rapid.

From the elevated platform, Ye Chenfeng cast his gaze upon the critically injured Luo Qianjiang below and stated with composure, "I informed you previously that the debt from that palm strike would be repaid tenfold, a hundredfold. Now, for your ambition to tear me asunder, you are utterly unqualified."

Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng's words, Luo Qianjiang's respiration intensified, and the life force in his eyes rapidly extinguished. At some unknown moment, his breathing ceased entirely, his eyes stared blankly ahead, and he lay utterly still, having met his demise and journeyed to the underworld.

From Ye Chenfeng's earlier demonstration of three distinct Sword Intents to the execution of a top-tier Secret Technique, culminating in Luo Qianjiang's final breath.

The assembled cultivators, who had gathered to witness the spectacle, were still struggling to process the events. Initially, the terrifying might of Luo Qianjiang's Samsara Palm had filled them with dread. But who could have foreseen Ye Chenfeng simultaneously unleashing three forms of tenth-level Sword Intent? It left them utterly dumbfounded.

Yet, before they could even recover from the shock of the three tenth-level Sword Intents, Ye Chenfeng initiated a fearsome Secret Technique. The sheer power of this technique led many to speculate that it was undoubtedly a legendary, top-tier Secret Technique.

The onlookers, watching from a distance, hardly dared to exhale. They nervously swallowed, realizing that Ye Chenfeng's combat prowess far surpassed their wildest estimations, reaching an astonishing new level.

Zhao Jinpeng, Wu Lingxiang, and Jiang Caixuan also stood with their mouths agape, utterly speechless and unable to fathom Ye Chenfeng's monstrous fighting capabilities.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the platform, the venerable ancestors of the Xiao Yao Palace, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Jin clan wore expressions of profound gravity. Luo Qianhai of the Xiao Yao Palace, in particular, was a picture of disbelief. He had never imagined that his own brother, Luo Qianjiang—whose power had been temporarily boosted to the Pinnacle of the Divine King Realm—would ultimately perish at the hands of Ye Chenfeng.

Suddenly.

A striking realization dawned upon Luo Qianhai. It occurred to him that not long after they had departed the Bloodswallow Clan's ancestral grounds, the Supreme Bloodline had been activated.

At that juncture, Luo Qianhai and his retinue had not considered Ye Chenfeng as the cause. When they left the Bloodswallow Clan's ancestral territory, Ye Chenfeng was still a considerable distance from the Divine King Realm and was preoccupied with the Bloodswallow Clan. They had dismissed the possibility of the phenomenon originating from Ye Chenfeng breaking through to the Divine King Realm.

It seemed inconceivable that Ye Chenfeng could have ascended to the Divine King Realm within the short interval they were away from the Bloodswallow Clan.

Yet, Ye Chenfeng's reappearance now revealed him at the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm. Coupled with his overwhelming combat power, it was evident that his awakened bloodline must be exceptionally extraordinary.

Luo Qianhai now harbored a strong suspicion that the phenomenon was indeed a result of Ye Chenfeng's breakthrough to the Divine King Realm. Though he couldn't grasp the mechanism behind such an accelerated power surge, Ye Chenfeng's terrifying combat abilities were undeniable. Furthermore, Luo Qianhai and the other sects had found no concrete leads regarding the individual responsible for that phenomenon in recent times.

Luo Qianhai then sent a telepathic message to Hua Wanchuan and the others: "Esteemed colleagues, have you also come to the same conclusion? This young man is highly likely the one who awakened the Supreme Bloodline. Considering the timeline, he might have still been engaged with the Bloodswallow Clan back then, making it baffling how he managed such a rapid increase in power."

Spurred by Luo Qianhai's prompting,

Hua Wanchuan of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and Li Yuanmu,

Jin Hongsheng of the Jin family,

and Zhao Wanzhong of the Xiao Yao Palace.

A subtle glint appeared in their eyes, and Hua Wanchuan sent a telepathic message: "If this brat truly awakened the Supreme Bloodline, we can't afford to let him live another day. His continued existence poses an unpredictable threat to us. Even now, at the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm, he managed to eliminate Luo Qianjiang, who had reached the Peak of the Divine King Realm. If he's allowed to grow further, even a united front of our three sects might struggle to contain him."

Jin Hongsheng gravely conveyed back, "Indeed, no matter the cost, his fate must be decided today. Now is not the time to uphold promises. Even if the other sects of the Tian Xuan Realm ridicule us, or if most of them express disapproval, we must combine forces to put an end to this kid."

Li Yuanmu transmitted his thoughts, "Such ridicule and dissatisfaction are only relevant under certain conditions. If we generously offer benefits to the other sects in the Central State, will they still dare to mock us? However, this endeavor will require substantial resources from our three sects."

Following Li Yuanmu's communication, the others concurred. Luo Qianhai then addressed the assembled cultivators: "Distinguished guests, doesn't the cultivation and combat strength of this young man trouble you? Surely, his ultimate ambition is to rule the entire Tian Xuan Realm. Do you wish to fall under such a dominion?"

"The current situation has completely surpassed our initial expectations. We are not reneging on our word; it is simply that this individual must be swiftly dealt with."

"Representing Xiao Yao Palace, Heavenly Sword Sect, and the Jin family, I solemnly pledge that upon the capture and demise of this youth, all his secret techniques, cultivation methods, and truths will be openly shared with the Tian Xuan Realm. Furthermore, our three sects will contribute extensive resources to accelerate the growth of the younger generation across the Tian Xuan Realm, providing ample support to the most exceptional talents within each major sect."

Xiao Yao Palace is in dire straits.

In their desperation to break previous agreements, they must expend significant resources to secure the allegiance of other sects, ensuring no faction in the Tian Xuan Realm will voice dissent or scorn their actions.

It is abundantly clear that their sole intention is to eliminate Ye Chenfeng right here, right now. They can no longer afford to wait, given the astonishing speed of Ye Chenfeng's progress.
