The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2341 - 2330: If You Want to Play, I’ll Play Along

After Ye Chenfeng was completely surrounded.

Hua Wanchuan's voice boomed towards the onlookers: "As long as you deal with the cultivators from the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin, once we apprehend this kid, it will be our chance to conquer the entire Ancient City of Heavenly Origin."

The surrounding cultivators, upon hearing Hua Wanchuan's declaration, felt a surge of ambition. In their estimation, Ye Chenfeng was the most formidable adversary from the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin. Furthermore, the strongest among them, Zhao Jinpeng, had sustained injuries in the previous day's duel.

Among the observers were several powerful figures in the Divine King Realm. It was believed that with their combined strength, they could effectively hold back the remaining forces from the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.

Not long after Hua Wanchuan finished speaking.

A few observers residing in the Divine King Realm could no longer restrain their eagerness. With Ye Chenfeng now confined, the immediate risk of him launching a surprise attack was eliminated. One followed by another, then a third, and a fourth...

Swiftly, nearly all cultivators within the Divine King Realm and Heavenly God Realm who had been observing rushed towards Zhao Jinpeng, Wu Lingxiang, and their companions. The disparity in numbers became alarmingly evident.

Despite Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan possessing considerable combat prowess and access to potent Immortal Artifacts, their cultivation levels remained within the Heavenly God Realm. Facing such a multitude of powerful assailants, they found it impossible to swiftly break through and offer aid to Ye Chenfeng.

Nevertheless, a select few cultivators maintained their resolve and opted not to engage in the fray. Possessing a degree of conscience, they recognized the unwarranted aggression initiated by the Xiao Yao Palace and its allied factions. Consequently, they chose to remain neutral observers.

On Zhao Jinpeng and Wu Lingxiang's side, an intense battle had already erupted against the advancing cultivators. Spectacular combat skills and secret techniques were continuously unleashed, illuminating the sky.

Although Wu Lingxiang and Jiang Caixuan were in the Heavenly God Realm, their combat capabilities were undeniably strong. Each wielded an Immortal Artifact, a treasure passed down from their respective families.

The activation of these Immortal Artifacts caused their offensive power to escalate dramatically.

Meanwhile, those who had surrounded Ye Chenfeng, including Hua Wanchuan and Luo Qianhai.

Hua Wanchuan brandished a sizable crimson saber, its surface shimmering with a menacing blood-red aura. As Spiritual Energy coursed into it, a pungent, metallic scent filled the air, as if freshly spilled blood adorned its edge.

This was the formidable Immortal Artifact of the Heavenly Sword Sect, known as the Heaven-slaying Blade.

It was this very Heaven-slaying Blade that Li Yuanmu had employed during his previous visit to the Ancient City of Heavenly Origin.

With the Heaven-slaying Blade now in Hua Wanchuan's grasp, and his potent Spiritual Energy surging into it, an overwhelming pressure emanated, pressing down upon Ye Chenfeng in waves.

Confronted by the combined assault of Hua Wanchuan, Luo Qianhai, and the others, Ye Chenfeng indeed felt a significant burden. His sole possession of an Immortal Artifact was the dark variant, the Coffin of Death. However, utilizing dark artifacts carried inherent risks to the user, and the Coffin of Death remained in a sealed state. Ye Chenfeng hesitated to employ it unless absolutely necessary, uncertain of the potential repercussions.

Even Immortal Artifacts were categorized by their tier.

According to the wisdom of Old Bai and Old Hei, the Coffin of Death was exceptionally powerful in ancient times. The greater the might of a dark Immortal Artifact, the more severe the potential adverse effects of its use.

Yet, Immortal Artifacts were undeniable force multipliers, and facing the unified onslaught of Luo Qianhai, Hua Wanchuan, and their allies, especially with their own Immortal Artifacts in play, Ye Chenfeng's prospects for victory seemed slim.

As Ye Chenfeng contemplated his situation.

Hua Wanchuan made his move, unleashing a sudden, sweeping strike with the Heaven-slaying Blade.

A colossal blade silhouette materialized in the air, descending upon Ye Chenfeng from above.

The immense, blood-hued blade shadow appeared to paint the very heavens in crimson.

This singular strike felt as though it originated from the highest celestial realms.

Even before the massive blade shadow reached the ground, the earth beneath began to crack. The immense pressure and blade aura intensified, bearing down on Ye Chenfeng. Compelled, his body began circulating the Four-Star Secret Method, Thousand Thunder Flash.

Upon activating Thousand Thunder Flash.

His agility surged instantaneously, allowing him to nimbly evade the devastating strike.

Just as he sidestepped Hua Wanchuan's attack.

Luo Qianhai materialized, wielding a long, inky-black chain that exuded a soul-searing aura.

This was the authentic Immortal Artifact of the Xiao Yao Palace: the Chaos Chain.

Immortal Artifacts are remarkably scarce within the Tian Xuan Realm, a testament to the fact that both Xiao Yao Palace and the Heavenly Sword Sect have truly unleashed their ultimate treasures for this confrontation.

Just as Ye Chenfeng narrowly evaded Hua Wanchuan's fierce blade-strike.

Luo Qianhai had already channeled his Spiritual Energy into the formidable Chaos Chain, causing the entire artifact to shimmer with dark luminescence before he hurled it towards Ye Chenfeng. "Go!" he commanded.

Transforming into what appeared to be a colossal black serpent, the Chaos Chain surged towards Ye Chenfeng with lightning speed, seeming capable of ensnaring all existence.

Having just evaded Hua Wanchuan's attack, Ye Chenfeng found himself with no time to react to this new threat.

The lengthy Chaos Chain swiftly enveloped Ye Chenfeng, leaving him utterly immobilized.

Immobilized by the Chaos Chain's embrace, Ye Chenfeng understood that any attempt to struggle would only tighten its restrictive grip.

Furthermore, Luo Qianhai, wielding the Chaos Chain, was a power player at the Peak of the Divine King Realm, his combat prowess far exceeding that of Luo Qianjiang, even in his temporarily elevated state.

Following his entanglement in the Chaos Chain.

Jin Hongsheng also made his move, producing a rod crafted from cyan metal. Intricate, tadpole-like characters were etched into its surface. As he infused it with Spiritual Energy, a vibrant green light erupted from the rod.

This artifact, the Sky-reaching Rod, was the Jins' own Half-step Immortal Artifact.

Without delay, Jin Hongsheng swung the rod with immense force towards Ye Chenfeng.

With a single, powerful sweep.

The air filled with a barrage of rod shadows.

Like an unstoppable tidal wave, the onslaught crashed down upon Ye Chenfeng.

The sheer intensity of the rod shadows created an illusion of no escape.

Compounded by being bound by the Chaos Chain, Ye Chenfeng had no means of evasion, and all the rod shadows struck his body simultaneously.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A sequence of dull impacts echoed.

The relentless assault of rod shadows instantly left Ye Chenfeng's attire in tatters, his skin torn open, several of his bones shattered, and his entire body drenched in blood.

His form ensnared by the Chaos Chain and battered by the Sky-reaching Rod, Ye Chenfeng suffered grievous internal injuries. It became apparent that the Immortal Artifacts deployed by Xiao Yao Palace were, after all, merely lesser-grade artifacts.

A wild, disheveled smile spread across Ye Chenfeng's blood-splattered face. With the situation having escalated to this dire point, he resolved to unleash the Dark Immortal Artifact, the Coffin of Death, uttering a chilling declaration: "If you wish to play, I shall accompany you to the very end."
