The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2552 - 2541: Are You Threatening Me?

Time passes second by second.

The entire massive square is silent.

How could this happen? A powerful being like Du Zishi, already at the Half-Step Divine King level, almost defeated by a sneeze from a creature resembling a kitten? Due to the Chaos Griffon’s reduced size, its wings have retracted into its body, making it unrecognizable to those present.

Just now, the Chaos Griffon seemed devoid of any aura, with the power from its sneeze concentrated in one point, so it wasn’t very perceptible to those present.

For a moment, many of the powerful individuals who came to offer congratulations were bewildered. Ye Chenfeng’s aura remained at the Initial Stage of the Third Layer of the Heavenly God Realm, but the creature resembling a kitten on his shoulder was too mysterious.

Blood Origin Sect’s Great Elder, Zhong Zhende, observing the ceremony from below the high platform, froze for several seconds after seeing his sect’s young master, Du Zishi, get blown away by a sneeze. Suddenly, his immense aura surged from within him, unwilling to believe that a person from barbaric lands could be so formidable.

After all, Du Zishi’s strength was only at the Half-Step Divine King level, whereas Zhong Zhende was at the Great Perfection Peak of the Divine Venerable Realm.

His figure instantly vanished from his position, as waves of powerful aura rushed towards Ye Chenfeng.

Even though Ye Chenfeng was a formidable Extreme Peak expert, Zhong Zhende’s speed seemed slow in his eyes. He stroked the head of the Chaos Griffon: "Little Eagle, you were a bit too heavy-handed earlier. Keeping them might still be useful to us."

While speaking.

Ye Chenfeng’s right hand flashed out like lightning; the aura of the Extreme Peak burst forth from him like a torrent.

It was a very simple slap, but within this slap was a force of pure intensity.

Appearing suddenly before Ye Chenfeng, Zhong Zhende’s eyes revealed a look of terror, unable to evade in time.

A crisp "slap!" sound.

Ye Chenfeng’s palm landed accurately on Zhong Zhende’s cheek.

Zhong Zhende spun like a top, twirling several times before collapsing directly to the ground.

The right side of his face, struck by Ye Chenfeng’s palm, was rendered completely unrecognizable.

The flesh on his right cheek turned into a mist of blood, with numerous fractures in his cheekbone, half of his face looking utterly terrifying.

After Ye Chenfeng decisively revealed his true aura.

Those who came to offer congratulations were stunned once more; wasn’t Ye Chenfeng from the barbaric lands outside the Divine Origin Realm?

His aura seemed very young, and aura is difficult to alter, so he surely couldn’t be that old, probably not over five hundred years? An Extreme Peak expert under five hundred years old? What’s going on? Could such a person really be from barbaric lands?

Compared to this, why does the Divine Origin Realm itself seem like barbaric lands?

On the high platform, Jia Nianshan and Jia Lizhong widened their eyes slightly, unable to remain calm. Seeing Du Zishi blown away by a sneeze, they considered acting, only Zhong Zhende beat them to it.

They now suspected that Du Zishi wasn’t really blown away by a sneeze, but that Ye Chenfeng, the Extreme Peak expert, had intervened, as they truly couldn’t sense any aura from the Chaos Griffon. They didn’t believe Ye Chenfeng’s pet could be more powerful than him.

Also at the Extreme Peak, Jia Xiaowen’s eyes gleamed with a malicious glint, realizing the situation had spiraled out of their Jia family’s control.

Jia Mengqing, with her acupuncture points sealed, dried her tears, disbelief evident on her cheeks. She had seen Ye Chenfeng emerge from the Divine Gate, proving he was from outside the Divine Origin Realm; yet possessing such youthful aura, how could he wield Extreme Peak strength?

Even Jia Kun harbored amazement internally; but if Ye Chenfeng’s strength were only at the Extreme Peak level, it might not suffice to shift the scales.

On the ground, where Ye Chenfeng had slapped Zhong Zhende, blood bubbles repeatedly sputtered from his mouth.

Yet, his eyes grew increasingly sinister, as black mist suddenly emitted from him: "Devour the Ghost!"

A resounding "boom!"

Above Zhong Zhende, numerous grotesque skeletal heads appeared, rushing into his body.

The black mist around him thickened considerably.

His aura surged dramatically, crossing from the Great Perfection Peak into the Extreme Peak in a mere blink.

This Devour the Ghost move is a forbidden technique of the Blood Origin Sect.

It can only be used three times in a lifetime, boosting power temporarily during each use.

However, with each use, the mind suffers severe impact; beyond three times, one becomes an unthinking machine of slaughter. This was Zhong Zhende’s second time invoking Devour the Ghost.

Nearby, Du Zishi, recovering slightly, steadied his breath through his nose and mouth as he witnessed Zhong Zhende’s Devour the Ghost: "Great Elder, tear that boy limb from limb for me."

Jia Nianshan and others, seeing Zhong Zhende elevate to Extreme Peak, knew he sought to handle Ye Chenfeng himself, foregoing their intention to act. Even though Zhong Zhende elevated to Extreme Peak, Ye Chenfeng remained at Extreme Peak, yet Zhong Zhende’s aura felt bizarre.

Zhong Zhende, empowered to Extreme Peak, emitted a potent, black-reddened spiritual energy, extending his hand towards Ye Chenfeng: "Blood Covers the Sky!"

A resounding "boom!"

Sizable volumes of writhing blood appeared mid-air, rapidly spreading toward Ye Chenfeng.

Once permeated by this blood, the body becomes part of these blood masses.

This renowned move of the Blood Origin Sect is known for power unmatched at its level, understood by many strong individuals present.

Casually gripping the Qingyun Sword, Ye Chenfeng took hold of the weapon, which had shed its prior rust, awakening thoroughly as an Immortal Artifact, yet not of a low level.

The entirety of the Qingyun Sword was inscribed with red runes.

Now Ye Chenfeng’s understanding of Unyielding Sword Intent exceeded the tenth rank of the Black Lock of Sword Soul.

While Frosty Sword Intent, Fire Sword Intent, and Thunder Sword Intent persisted at the tenth rank.

Ye Chenfeng’s combat efficacy transcends typical Extreme Peak-level strength; channeling the tenth rank of Frosty Sword Intent, the red runes on the Qingyun Sword shimmered.

A sweeping frosty chill enveloped him.

The azure light on Qingyun Sword glowed exceedingly.

With a single stroke.

"Tenth Rank Frosty Sword Intent!"

A massive white Sword Qi surged, sweeping the blood masses into nothingness, with seemingly no intent to dissipate.

A swift "whoosh!"

Zhong Zhende tried to evade.

Yet failed to fully escape; his entire right arm severed instantly.

Blood continuously spurted from his severed limb as he snarled fiercely: "Boy, you seek death? How dare you lay hands on our Blood Origin Sect? Do you comprehend our sect’s might?"

Ye Chenfeng chuckled lightly: "Is that a threat?"
