The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2618 - 2607: Aurora Footwork
Previously on The Strongest Dandy in the City...
Upon hearing the words of their ancestors.
Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo turned pale. Although the sect had nurtured them, their talents had also earned their sect considerable benefits in the past. If their cultivation were destroyed, they wouldn’t be able to survive in the Divine Origin Realm.
Ye Chenfeng gently patted Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo’s shoulders and said, "You two step back a little! As long as I’m here, no one will be able to touch you."
Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo obediently stepped back, giving Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan complex looks.
Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan saw Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo staying silent, and their anger increased. Now with Nanshan Old Demon showing interest in Ye Chenfeng, they no longer feared Shen Xiutian beside Ye Chenfeng. They even harbored murderous intent toward Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo.
"Fang Duo’er, are you trying to betray your sect and ancestors? Destroying your cultivation is already being lenient. If that’s the case, then you might as well not remain in this world." Pang Qingyuan’s eyes widened angrily as killing intent erupted from his body.
Yan Haishan’s aura also continued to rise: "Song Lanruo, being with this unforgivable boy, you’ve committed a heinous crime. Only by becoming a cripple can you survive. Do you want to die? I can fulfill that wish."
Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan feared the Hes in the Upper World. Coupled with Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo having shamed them, they no longer cared about Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo being the sect’s former talents.
But Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan dared not act directly, casting a glance toward the nearby Nanshan Old Demon.
Nanshan Old Demon’s wrinkled face showed no emotion, and he remained silent.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat eerie.
Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan’s faces turned liver-colored as they stood foolishly without moving.
Finally, Nanshan Old Demon’s hoarse voice sounded: "I despise petty thieves the most."
He glanced at Ye Chenfeng: "Kid, I’m now hesitating whether to take you down? Being able to make the talents of two sects follow a dangerous person like you shows your character isn’t bad, somewhat to my liking."
Nanshan Old Demon unexpectedly appreciated Ye Chenfeng. The mention of petty thieves clearly referred to Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan, whose faces grew even darker, which defied common sense! This wasn’t how the story was supposed to unfold.
Nanshan Old Demon’s temper was always strange. Ignoring Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan’s dark expressions, he continued: "Kid, I do appreciate you, but I also want to live a little longer. The Hes in the Upper World certainly have a solution, and you’re a wanted person by them, making my decision difficult."
"Here’s what I’ll do! I’ll give you a chance: if you can touch me anywhere, I won’t take action against you today."
Ye Chenfeng also found this Nanshan Old Demon quite amusing. To him, Nanshan Old Demon didn’t seem like a villain, and he wanted to test his current speed. After all, Nanshan Old Demon possessed the cultivation of the Divine Emperor Realm’s late stage.
Ye Chenfeng said, "Alright, I can compete with you in speed."
To touch Nanshan Old Demon, one must exceed him in speed.
Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan saw Nanshan Old Demon still intending to act against Ye Chenfeng and finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Nanshan Old Demon wasn’t turning against them, they were at ease.
Speed competition?
Though rumors had it that Ye Chenfeng’s combat prowess was strong, Nanshan Old Demon now had the cultivation of the Divine Emperor Realm’s late stage, and he possessed a footwork technique known as Cloud Ghost Step. This technique was renowned in the Middle Realm, unmatched by any cultivator of the same level there once Nanshan Old Demon used it.
Moreover, Ye Chenfeng’s cultivation was merely at the Divine Emperor Realm’s initial stage.
"Benefactor..."
Shen Xiutian, standing nearby, called out, but Ye Chenfeng interrupted him directly: "Don’t worry, I know my limits."
Song Lanruo and Fang Duo’er standing behind Ye Chenfeng were also filled with worry in their beautiful eyes.
Nanshan Old Demon said, "Kid, I only give you two hours, so make sure to use your time wisely."
As Nanshan Old Demon finished his sentence.
Ye Chenfeng’s figure swiftly darted out, pushing the operations of his Spiritual Qi River within his body to the extreme.
From the start, Ye Chenfeng displayed his maximum speed, immediately employing the Secret Technique Thousand Thunder Flash.
Furthermore, now cultivating four Supreme Techniques simultaneously, his speed was incomparable to in the past.
His figure nearly vanished into the air, suddenly appearing before Nanshan Old Demon, reaching out his hand toward Nanshan Old Demon’s shoulder, the distance between his palm and the shoulder growing closer.
Nanshan Old Demon’s wrinkled face showed a hint of surprise, Ye Chenfeng’s speed completely unexpected to him, far from what a Divine Emperor Realm initial-stage expert should be capable of.
As for the surrounding other sect ancestors like Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan, their eyes twitched wildly after witnessing Ye Chenfeng’s extreme speed. Cold sweat broke out on their backs; such speed vastly outstripped them, these Divine Emperor Realm middle-stage experts. In terms of speed alone, Ye Chenfeng left them far behind.
As Ye Chenfeng’s palm was about to touch Nanshan Old Demon’s shoulder.
Black mist emerged beneath Nanshan Old Demon’s feet, causing Ye Chenfeng’s palm to grasp at thin air, with Nanshan Old Demon already vanished from before him, reappearing ten meters to his right.
At the critical moment, Nanshan Old Demon immediately employed Cloud Ghost Step, narrowly escaping Ye Chenfeng’s grasp. His gaze toward Ye Chenfeng became much more solemn: "Young man, I almost got caught off guard. Your speed, no doubt, is that of a genius among geniuses. Most importantly, you are at the Divine Emperor Realm’s initial stage, no wonder the Hes issued a warrant for you."
Despite pushing himself to the limit, he still hadn’t touched Nanshan Old Demon. Having missed the first opportunity, touching him again wouldn’t be that easy.
And just then.
The Eternal Codex within Ye Chenfeng began to circulate autonomously, soon presenting him with a footwork technique in his mind.
This footwork was named Aurora.
No indication of its level was given, but based on its description, this Aurora footwork technique should be very extraordinary.
This was a top-notch footwork technique within the Eternal Codex.
