The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1250 - 1243: The Mighty Evolved Ice Devouring Worm

No one expected Ye Chenfeng to suddenly make such a move.

As Ning Xuening’s father, Ning Batian’s heart was already ablaze with rage. He wished he could grind Ye Chenfeng’s bones to dust immediately, but Ye Chenfeng was holding his daughter hostage. This left Ning Batian’s fury with no outlet, causing his face to grow increasingly grim. He spoke, enunciating each word with a cold tone: "Kid, do you even realize what you’re doing?"

Standing beside Ning Batian were two other core elders. One of them, an old man dressed in a black long robe, was no less furious than Ning Batian upon seeing Ye Chenfeng’s actions. This old man was named Qian Baitong, the second elder of the Hanbing Sect, whose strength had reached the Peak of the Creation Realm’s third layer.

It was well known that Qian Baitong’s grandson had been pursuing Ning Xuening for a long time, and Qian Baitong had always seen Ning Xuening as his future granddaughter-in-law. Now, seeing Ye Chenfeng recklessly kiss Ning Xuening, how could he not be enraged?

Veins bulged on Qian Baitong’s forehead, his gaze dark as he stared at Ye Chenfeng and shouted: "Kid, is taking a woman hostage all you’ve got? Are you afraid that without a hostage, we’d slap you to death in an instant?" Qian Baitong was clearly using taunts to provoke Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng’s cold gaze swept over Ning Batian and the others as Wu Fengxian’s voice echoed in his mind: "Little one, enough of this stalling. You’ve comprehended Frosty Sword Intent here in the Ice Holy Land, advancing three small levels in succession. It’s time for you to leave. The ice parasites in your Dantian can temporarily restrain Ning Batian and the others. They’ve absorbed energy too voraciously, evolving significantly, but if you don’t use them now, they’ll all perish within three days. So even if you release this girl, you can still safely leave the Ice Holy Land."

"However, these ice parasites are single-use entities. You can only manipulate them thanks to the thousand-year Ice Snow Lotus in your Dantian. After releasing the parasites, you won’t be able to retrieve them."

After hearing Wu Fengxian’s words, a smile appeared on Ye Chenfeng’s lips as his gaze mockingly locked onto Ning Batian and Qian Baitong. With a thunderous voice, he shouted: "Do you think your provocations will work on me? Even if I release her now, you’re still incapable of stopping me. Do you believe it or not?"

Ye Chenfeng’s every word struck Ning Batian and the others like a hammer to their hearts. As they snapped out of it, disdainful smiles appeared on their faces. In their view, if Ye Chenfeng weren’t holding Ning Xuening hostage, they’d have crushed this mere Spirit Communication Realm boy countless times already. To them, Ye Chenfeng’s words were utterly laughable.

"Kid, if you’re so confident, then release her right now!" Qian Baitong said mockingly, attempting to provoke Ye Chenfeng into making an irrational decision.

Not far away, He Ping, Huang Chongyi, and Xiang Xiaoyi—the three men lying on the ground—became increasingly tense after hearing Ye Chenfeng and Qian Baitong’s exchange. They believed that if Ye Chenfeng released Ning Xuening, Ning Batian’s group would surely kill him.

He Ping shouted hoarsely: "Boss, don’t fall for their taunts! You must not release that woman!"

"That’s right, Boss. As long as you have her in your grasp, they won’t dare harm you," Huang Chongyi urgently added.

Xiang Xiaoyi chimed in: "Boss, with this girl in our hands, we’ll be able to escape the Ice Holy Land smoothly."

Ye Chenfeng was well aware that holding Ning Xuening hostage would force Ning Batian and the others into compliance. But with the evolved ice parasites in his Dantian faced with imminent demise, and given the confidence both Wu Fengxian and his counterpart had in them, Ye Chenfeng thought it better to let these parasites wreak havoc on Ning Batian and his group to satisfy his own grudge.

"Kid, what’s the matter? Too scared to act? Were you just bluffing earlier?" Qian Baitong continued to taunt.

Seated on the Nine Nether Ice Lion, Ye Chenfeng responded to He Ping and the others with a faint smile. Then, he shrugged nonchalantly and shouted: "Old geezer, who are you claiming is scared? I’ll release this girl and see how you plan to deal with me!"

Ye Chenfeng abruptly shoved Ning Xuening toward Ning Batian and the others. Seeing this, Ning Batian’s group displayed sinister smiles, while He Ping and the others’ faces turned into one of despair.

Ning Batian immediately caught his daughter and unsealed her pressure points. At this moment, Ning Xuening appeared utterly lost. Her mind was replaying the scene of Ye Chenfeng’s audacious kiss, filling her with suicidal thoughts.

Ning Batian comforted her: "Xuening, don’t worry. Once we capture this boy alive, you can torture him however you wish. We promise to make him live a fate worse than death."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of spirit returned to Ning Xuening’s face. Her beautiful eyes glared at Ye Chenfeng in the distance as she shouted: "You’re an idiot! You could’ve used me to escape earlier, but you missed that chance. Aren’t you incredibly foolish? I won’t let you die so easily. I, Ning Xuening, will make you beg me to kill you."

Ye Chenfeng showed no expression in response to Ning Xuening’s threats. Had he not needed Ning Batian’s power to open the Ice Holy Land’s barrier gate, he would have already killed this woman. Her words meant nothing to him.

"Sect Master, leave this boy to us. Please focus on confronting the Nine Nether Ice Lion," Qian Baitong said to Ning Batian.

Ning Batian didn’t reject Qian Baitong’s proposal and said: "Fine. Second Elder, remember to spare this boy’s life. Don’t let him die so easily."

"Sect Master, rest assured," Qian Baitong replied with a sinister smile.

Another old man in a purple long robe, Hanbing Sect’s Great Elder Li Zhuhai, possessed strength at the Peak of the Creation Realm’s fourth layer.

After deciding how to deal with Ye Chenfeng, Qian Baitong and Li Zhuhai unleashed their Creation Realm auras and lunged at Ye Chenfeng in unison. Meanwhile, Ning Batian—a Reincarnation Realm master—turned to confront Little Bai.

It should be noted just how swift Creation Realm experts are. In the blink of an eye, Qian Baitong and Li Zhuhai appeared before Ye Chenfeng. Qian Baitong sneered: "Kid, you’re too arrogant. Do you really think a Spirit Communication Realm cultivator can defeat us? Dare to provoke our Hanbing Sect, and you’ll learn the painful consequences."

Their hands reached for Ye Chenfeng’s shoulders, intending to grab him. A battle where two Creation Realm experts were aimed at a Spirit Communication Realm cultivator was unprecedented. Not far away, Ning Xuening’s beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement as she imagined tormenting Ye Chenfeng once he was captured.

Just then, Ye Chenfeng abruptly released thousands of evolved ice parasites from his Dantian. He directed 400 of them toward Qian Baitong and Li Zhuhai, 300 toward Ning Batian—who was battling Little Bai—and 100 toward Ning Xuening, who stood in the distance.

The parasites, extremely minute, caught everyone off guard. No one had expected Ye Chenfeng to unleash ice parasites, particularly ones that were a unique product of the Hanbing Sect. The parasites swiftly burrowed into their bodies before they even realized what had happened.

After 200 parasites invaded his body, Qian Baitong froze briefly, then smirked: "Using our sect’s ice parasites to attack us? You’re utterly foolish."

However, almost as soon as he finished speaking, Qian Baitong’s expression changed drastically. He felt the ice parasites wreaking havoc inside his body—far more potent than the ones cultivated by the sect, their power multiplied tens of times. Qian Baitong felt his organs being rapidly frozen, his body trembling uncontrollably and his face showing a trace of fear.

Similarly, Ning Batian and the others quickly realized the potency of the evolved ice parasites. Their expressions shifted dramatically as they grasped the unexpected danger. The situation seemed to have been overturned by Ye Chenfeng once again.
