The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 688: Stunning Strength

The massive square of Guiyuan Sect was permeated with an oppressive atmosphere; nobody had expected that even Xuantian Sect and Cold Sea Pavilion would be drawn into this turmoil, and furthermore, their aim was directed squarely at Zhentian Sect.

"Sect Leader Du, allow me to make the first move and capture this brat. I’ll break his arms and legs, and then we can take our time torturing him," Zhong Tianchi was already growing impatient.

Since everyone’s common enemy was Zhentian Sect, Du Wannian had no reason to refuse, and he said with a grim tone, "Sect Leader Zhong, it’s fine for you to make the first move. However, don’t be too heavy-handed. We cannot let this boy die so easily, and as for the other members of Zhentian Sect, we can’t let any of them go today."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Tianchi immediately heightened the True Energy Force within his body, and a vast aura burst forth, causing those from the other sects around to lose color, for they could feel that the aura emanating from Zhong Tianchi had already surpassed the existence of a Heaven Rank High Grade. However, he had not fully stepped into the Innate Realm; one could say he had one foot in the Innate Realm, and at present, Zhong Tianchi’s strength should be considered at the level of a half-step Innate.

Zhong Tianchi was just over forty years old, wasn’t he? For someone in his forties to possess half-step Innate strength was something that greatly surprised people from other sects. It’s well known that stepping from Heaven Rank into Innate signifies that one can connect with those mysterious top forces. Moreover, if one wishes, joining as a Guest Elder in a top force would not be a problem.

Now that Zhong Tianchi had reached the level of a half-step Innate, it was only a matter of time before he would become a true Innate expert.

"To think that Sect Leader Zhong has also stepped into the level of a half-step Innate? It seems that Sect Leader Zhong’s talent far surpasses mine." Feeling the half-step Innate aura from Zhong Tianchi, Guiyuan Sect’s Sect Leader Du Wannian’s own aura also soared, matching that of Zhong Tianchi, indicating that Du Wannian’s strength had also reached half-step Innate.

"Sect Leaders Zhong and Du, you two really make me envious! I must congratulate the both of you for stepping into half-step Innate," said the Sect Leader of Cold Sea Pavilion, Sun Nanfei, with a smile as an aura of Peak Heaven Rank High Grade emanated from him.

Subsequently, Sun Nanfei added, "Sect Leader Zhong, go ahead and make your move with confidence. Sect Leader Du and I will watch your back, and if the people from Zhentian Sect dare to interfere in the process of you capturing Ye Chenfeng, this beast, we will immediately take action."

Feeling the half-step Innate aura from Zhong Tianchi and Du Wannian, people from the major sects all stepped back some distance. They knew that today was bound to be a rough one for Zhentian Sect, for half-step Innate was not something that could be compared to Heaven Rank.

Standing not far in front of Zhong Tianchi, Ye Chenfeng whispered to Sun Boyi and the others beside him, "Uncle, step back a bit, I’ll handle the people here." freewebnσvel.cøm

"Chenfeng, I’m your uncle, and besides, their strength has only reached half-step Innate. Your uncle, however, is a genuine Innate Realm Initial Stage expert. Let me handle them," said Sun Boyi.

"Uncle, there’s no need for you to take action against such rubbish. You all need to conserve your strength. This is the territory of Guiyuan Sect, and if it comes down to them using a war of attrition in the end, then you must protect everyone else. I might not be able to cover everyone by myself," Ye Chenfeng said to Sun Boyi.

Sun Boyi found the reasoning sound, so he nodded and said, "Alright then, Chenfeng, just be careful."

Ye Chenfeng took two steps forward and said, "You think I’ll go underground to keep your son company? We’ll see if you have the ability to make that happen. Just don’t end up keeping your son company down there yourself."

"Is this kid too arrogant? Doesn’t he know how formidable half-step Innate is? Besides, I have not felt any energy fluctuations from this kid. Could he be bluffing?"

"Bluffing at a time like this? That’s like throwing oneself into the pit of fire! With his age, no matter how strong he is, how high can it go? Moreover, there’s not a trace of energy fluctuation from him!"

"This is a fight with no suspense, where does this kid get the courage to face an expert of half-step Innate alone?"

...

Individuals from the surrounding sects saw Ye Chenfeng step forward and heard his grandiose words; they all looked upon Ye Chenfeng unfavorably, thinking that he was on a path to self-destruction.

"These ignorant fools, even the Innate Realm Initial Stage elders aren’t a match for Chenfeng, let alone half-step Innate? Just wait until they are shocked," murmured Sun Hengfei from behind Ye Chenfeng.

Sun Xiaoli nodded in agreement and said, "Zhong Tianchi will surely be defeated by Chenfeng within one move."

Xia Zining, standing to the side and hearing the conversation between Sun Heng Fei and Sun Xiaoli, had a peculiar glow in her eyes. She stared unwaveringly at Ye Chenfeng’s back, thinking to herself, "Who exactly is Ye Chenfeng? If he truly can effortlessly deal with a half-step Innate master, then even among the top forces, there would be very few of his age and strength, right? Ye Chenfeng could definitely be of help to me."

As Xia Zining let her thoughts wander, Zhong Tianchi, the Sect Leader of the Xuantian Sect, stood before Ye Chenfeng. After listening to Ye Chenfeng’s extremely arrogant words, he didn’t hesitate in the slightest; he executed their sect’s Xuantian Step Technique.

One step taken, space seemed to shrink.

Zhong Tianchi’s figure appeared in front of Ye Chenfeng in an instant. Seeing that Ye Chenfeng hadn’t moved at all, Zhong Tianchi assumed he hadn’t reacted in time. A punch wrapped in True Energy Force headed ruthlessly toward Ye Chenfeng’s right shoulder. From the momentum, if this punch landed, it seemed that the whole arm would be utterly crippled.

As Zhong Tianchi’s fist neared Ye Chenfeng’s right shoulder closer and closer, Ye Chenfeng took a step back with his feet and, without any hesitation, swung out his right fist, ready to clash head-on with Zhong Tianchi.

Ye Chenfeng’s suddenly unleashed speed did catch Zhong Tianchi by surprise, but he still didn’t feel any energy fluctuations coming from Ye Chenfeng. He bellowed from his throat, "Seeking death."

The people from the various sects around them, seeing Ye Chenfeng manage to react suddenly and swing a punch quickly, were also startled. It was a pity that, just like Zhong Tianchi, they didn’t feel any aura from Ye Chenfeng’s punch.

"The kid’s fast alright, but it’s a shame he’s no match for Zhong Tianchi."

"Like an egg striking a rock, this kid’s right arm is doomed to be crippled."

"That’s a punch from a half-step Innate expert! Can an ordinary person withstand it? I think even a Heaven Rank master couldn’t withstand this punch."

...

As discussions erupted all around, Ye Chenfeng’s right fist got closer and closer to Zhong Tianchi’s right fist, and as the two fists were about to make contact, a sinister smile surfaced on Zhong Tianchi’s face. Suddenly, the aura of a tenth-level Soul Force Middle Stage burst forth from Ye Chenfeng’s body, completely overshadowing Zhong Tianchi’s half-step Innate aura.

Zhong Tianchi immediately sensed that something was amiss, but it was already too late to pull back.

A muffled "bang" resounded over the vast square.

Those from other sects present were stunned by the scene they were witnessing. As Zhong Tianchi’s fist collided with Ye Chenfeng’s, Ye Chenfeng’s punch, unstoppable as if breaking through everything, directly shattered Zhong Tianchi’s fist. Not only that, but Ye Chenfeng’s fist continued on its trajectory, and Zhong Tianchi’s entire right arm turned into a mist of blood in mid-air.

"Ah~ah~ah~"

A desperate, agonizing scream erupted from Zhong Tianchi’s throat, with his right arm transformed into a mist of blood and fresh blood gushing nonstop from the stump. Pain twisted his face into an incredibly ferocious look in an instant.

A punch turning a half-step Innate expert’s arm into a mist of blood?

And the one throwing the punch was a young man in his twenties?

How overbearing, how astonishingly powerful must one be?

Indeed, those from other sects present had predicted an outcome—that someone’s arm would be crippled. Unfortunately, the person whose arm was crippled turned out to be Zhong Tianchi, who had the strength of a half-step Innate. (To be continued.
