The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2693 - 2682: This Time He Must Die
Previously on The Strongest Dandy in the City...
The Valley of Divine Instruments has been open for ten days.
Ye Chenfeng has not yet been teleported out, causing quite a stir outside the valley.
At this moment.
Inside the Weapon King Pavilion, Ye Chenfeng’s hair was a bit disheveled, and his clothes were somewhat dirty.
The Weapon King Pavilion was filled with thick layers of dust everywhere.
Since stepping into the Weapon King Pavilion, Ye Chenfeng hadn’t rested for a moment, constantly perusing the ancient books on the shelves, exerting all his effort to comprehend the inheritance from the five supreme masters of the Chaos Era in the field of artifact refining.
Several days had passed.
He had fully comprehended the inherited ancient books of Zhong Tianxiang and Pang Deming, and was now studying Jiang Huaning’s inherited ancient books, reaching the final stages of understanding them as well.
He had only half a month, leaving him with very little time to comprehend.
A pair of sharp and spirited eyes continuously scanned the ancient books in his hand, his speed of flipping through the books was extremely fast due to his photographic memory.
He clearly felt his artifact refining skills rapidly improving each second. If he fully integrated the legacy of the five supreme masters, he couldn’t imagine to what extent he could reach?
The ancient books recorded countless different Spirit Array Diagrams, all of which were originally created by the five supreme masters and had almost entirely vanished in the current era.
Another day passed.
Finally, Ye Chenfeng fully comprehended Jiang Huaning’s inherited ancient books, and began to delve into Meng Gaoshi’s inherited ancient books.
...
While Ye Chenfeng was wholeheartedly studying.
On the vast plaza outside the Weapon King Pavilion, the five ghostly old men, Zhong Tianxiang, Pang Deming, Jiang Huaning, Meng Gaoshi, and Tong Chengwen, never took their eyes off the Weapon King Pavilion, fully aware of the situation inside, utterly shocked by Ye Chenfeng’s capability at understanding.
They were very well aware of the difficulty of their own legacies. Initially, they encouraged Ye Chenfeng to comprehend as much as he could, though they had expectations, they never anticipated Ye Chenfeng’s comprehension skills would be this formidable, perhaps finishing a day or two early at this rate.
"This kid might really be a surprise sent by the heavens to us. His future ascension to the peak of artifact refining is inevitable. With our five inheritances, plus his future own creations, who in this world could surpass him in artifact refining?" Tong Chengwen laughed.
Zhong Tianxiang said somewhat wistfully, "It’s a pity we won’t see this kid ascend to the peak. Seeing him now, leave the opportunity of a refining competition with him to me! I am itching to try."
Meng Gaoshi immediately said, "Are you the only one itching? I can’t hold back either! I want to see just how strong he’ll be after inheriting our legacies."
Jiang Huaning said, "Stop arguing, let that boy decide! Whoever he chooses to compete with, that’s set, none of us should have any objections, right?"
Jiang Huaning’s suggestion was fair, and the other four naturally wouldn’t oppose, patiently waiting for Ye Chenfeng to emerge from the Weapon King Pavilion.
Time flies.
Only two days were left until the half-month period ended.
Moreover, Ye Chenfeng’s speed of comprehension was continuously accelerating, now reaching the final stages of Tong Chengwen’s inherited ancient books, soon he would have fully understood them all.
Outside the Valley of Divine Instruments.
As the half-month mark approached, yet Ye Chenfeng still hadn’t emerged from inside the valley.
This made all the artisans feel inconceivable, how could anyone stay inside the Valley of Divine Instruments for such a long time? Everything exceeded common sense.
The saying goes, "If one is not envied, they are mediocre."
Many artifact refiners looked on with envy in their eyes and were angered by Ye Chenfeng in their hearts, gazing gloomily at the entrance to the Valley of Divine Instruments with sneers on their lips.
Among them, some artifact refiners thought, even if Ye Chenfeng gained substantial benefits inside the valley, what of it? As soon as he stepped out, the Hes would deal with him immediately, as they had sent four of their five shadows this time. With these elusive figures, Ye Chenfeng stood no chance of surviving.
Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an were also feeling increasingly heavy-hearted, yet delighting in Ye Chenfeng’s talent in their hearts.
Li Muyan transmitted to Shi Wan’an, "This time we absolutely must ensure nothing happens to brother Ye. He is the hope of our artifact refining world! As long as he lives well, he’ll reach heights we can’t even dream of."
Shi Wan’an replied via sound transmission, "Do you even need to say it? Even if we have to risk our old necks, we’ll protect brother Ye; we aren’t the Hes’ dogs, Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi are old fools who have thrown away their dignity."
At this time, Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi were furrowing their brows tightly, waiting impatiently for Ye Chenfeng to be teleported out, as animosity between them and Ye Chenfeng had long since formed, they wished for him to die sooner, not later.
Qi Kangfu said to He Yuantian, "Young Master He, if this kid is allowed to grow, he will surely reach the Peak, and who knows what powerful Immortal Artifacts he might forge in the future? I never thought he wouldn’t be teleported out by now."
Zhang Hezhi whispered, "Young Master He, Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an will definitely intervene, they have an unusual relationship with that kid!"
He Yuantian remained silent for a while.
The more outstanding Ye Chenfeng showed himself to be, the more He Yuantian’s anger boiled. Among the younger generation, he couldn’t tolerate anyone standing above him.
He had always believed himself to be the foremost genius among the younger generation in the Divine Origin Realm, yet after encountering Ye Chenfeng, he had repeatedly been thwarted and had almost lost his life once.
He Yuantian’s voice was low, "If they really dare interfere, then I’ll send the two of them on their way."
"The ancestor will soon reach the Eternal Life Realm, then who in the Divine Origin Realm would dare oppose our family?"
The last words were spoken so softly by He Yuantian, even Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi beside him merely caught the vague essence.
Though Qi Kangfu and Zhang Hezhi had always suspected that the He family’s ancestor, He Kongsheng, should be nearing the Eternal Life stage, they hadn’t anticipated He Kongsheng would soon breakthrough, making them slightly uneasy, having already aligned themselves with the Hes.
"This time, he must die." He Yuantian enunciated each word.
