The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 698: Walking into a Trap?
Chapter 698: Chapter 698: Walking into a Trap?
"Ah~"
"Clang~"
Heart-shuddering screams and the sound of swords and knives colliding echoed incessantly in the Xuantian Sect’s training ground.
Although the three major sects had more Heaven Rank experts, they still couldn’t take down Xuantian Sect and Ghost Doctor Sect for the time being. The number of combatants on both sides was rapidly decreasing, with Xuantian Sect and Ghost Doctor Sect suffering more casualties. The ground was covered in rivers of blood, and the thick scent of gore permeated the air.
In the grand hall of Xuantian Sect, where Sun Hengfei was responsible for protecting Ye Donghua and Sun Meiqin, his eyes remained fixed on the bloody battle outside. Ji Shunde, caught between the pincer attack of Zhong Yongming and Du Fuwei, kept dodging with difficulty. At this rate, Ji Shunde wouldn’t last much longer. If Ji Shunde were defeated, then Zhong Yongming and Du Fuwei, both innate Middle Stage experts, would be able to join the battle, most likely tipping the scales completely.
On the other side, Sun Boyi was retreating step by step under the siege of Du Wannian, Sun Changqing, and three high-grade Heaven Rank experts. As the saying goes, "one can hardly fight against overwhelming odds," and considering that both Du Wannian and Sun Changqing were half-step Innate experts, plus the three high-grade Heaven Rank masters, it was no wonder Sun Boyi was barely holding on.
Seeing the number of Xuantian Sect and Ghost Doctor Sect disciples on the training grounds dwindling, if this continued, the ultimate outcome would undoubtedly be total annihilation. Sun Hengfei in the hall clenched his fists until they "creaked and popped," his breathing through his nose becoming heavier and heavier.
"Hengfei, as long as the boss can make it back in time, we’ll definitely have a chance to turn the tables," Qin Yi said to Sun Hengfei.
Sun Hengfei shook his head helplessly and said, "With the current situation, I’m afraid even Chenfeng’s return won’t make a difference. It would be better if Chenfeng didn’t come back at all so that in the future, he can avenge us."
Xia Zining, who had recently joined Xuantian Sect, retreated to the grand hall after a series of dodges on the training grounds. After all, her current strength was only middle-grade Xuantian.
"The situation outside is dire. If we don’t get reinforcements soon, the three major sects will surely slaughter everyone from Xuantian Sect and Ghost Doctor Sect," Xia Zining said, panting.
"As long as the boss gets here in time, we can only pray for him to arrive sooner," Qin Yi said with a worried frown.
"Qin Yi, how powerful is Chenfeng’s backup that you’re so..."
Sun Hengfei hadn’t finished speaking when a burst of laughter came from outside, "Hahaha, Sun Boyi, you old man, let us send you off to meet the King of Hell!"
On the training ground, Sun Boyi finally succumbed to the onslaught from Du Wannian and others. His chest was struck by a palm from Du Wannian, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from Sun Boyi’s mouth as he staggered and fell to the ground.
"Grand Elder." Upon seeing Sun Boyi injured, Sun Hengfei couldn’t help but shout angrily from his throat, and the rest of Xuantian Sect’s people also turned to look in Sun Boyi’s direction. But what could they do against the overwhelming number of Heaven Rank experts from the three major sects? No one could spare the effort to help Sun Boyi, and Sun Hengfei in the hall was too late to cross the distance.
"Sun Boyi, today is surely the day of Xuantian Sect’s demise. It’s good that I withdrew from Xuantian Sect long ago," Cui Shan said with a sneer after killing a lower-grade Heaven Rank expert from Xuantian Sect, looking at Sun Boyi lying on the ground.
"You fools, just now I told you to join the three major sects’ ranks, and you all refused. Now what awaits you is only death," Cui Jiang also immediately called out coldly.
The disciples of Xuantian Sect and Ghost Doctor Sect all felt their spirits plummet to the depths, watching Sun Boyi on the brink of death. An endless despair filled their souls, causing their fighting spirit to cool gradually.
"Sun Boyi, let me send you on your last journey!" Du Wannian’s palm mercilessly struck down toward Sun Boyi’s skull.
At that moment, an extraordinarily formidable aura rolled in from afar, gradually enveloping Xuantian Sect’s training ground. As Du Wannian’s palm neared Sun Boyi’s skull, a dark figure brushed past him at high speed, stopping abruptly beside Sun Boyi.
When Du Wannian recognized the person in the shadow, he exclaimed in spite of himself, "Ye Chenfeng?"
Then, Du Wannian saw Ye Chenfeng holding an arm in his hand, an arm that looked eerily familiar. He suddenly looked to his right side, only to find his entire right arm gone.
As Ye Chenfeng swiftly passed by Du Wannian, he had effortlessly ripped off Du’s right arm. However, Ye Chenfeng’s speed was so fast that Du Wannian hadn’t immediately felt the pain, and the blood from his shoulder’s stump didn’t spray out right away.
Instantly, Du Wannian’s complexion turned deathly pale, and his body began to sway unstably.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
A gush of thick blood spurted from Du Wannian’s severed limb like a fountain. Just as he was about to seal the acupoints to stop the bleeding, he saw Ye Chenfeng move again. An arm swung directly at Du Wannian’s head, which exploded like a watermelon, and his body slowly collapsed to the ground.
From Ye Chenfeng’s sudden appearance to Du Wannian’s demise, the entire ordeal lasted only a brief five or six seconds, leaving most of the onlookers unable to react.
It wasn’t until Du Fuwei, not far away, angrily shouted, "Ye Chenfeng, you little beast, both my grandson and great-grandson died because of you, and today I will rip out your heart and liver."
Du Fuwei was furious to the extreme. Now that both his grandson and great-grandson were dead, it was as if his lineage had been severed, making it impossible for him, a mighty Innate Middle Stage master, to remain calm any longer.
Ye Chenfeng ignored Du Fuwei’s roar. He helped Sun Boyi up from the ground and said, "Grandfather, are you alright? It’s my fault for arriving late."
Sun Boyi shook his head and said, "Chenfeng, you shouldn’t have come back. At least that way, you might have been able to revive our Zhen Tian Sect in the future. But what now?"
"Grandfather, don’t worry. Our reinforcements are about to arrive," Ye Chenfeng comforted Sun Boyi.
Sun Boyi sighed and said, "Chenfeng, it’s hard to fight against overwhelming numbers. The three major sects have nearly a hundred Heaven Rank masters. Our reinforcements will be useless."
Ye Chenfeng didn’t bother to explain further. He knew that no amount of explanation would be worth it; only when the members of the Wing Guard Team arrived would Sun Boyi understand the meaning behind his words.
The disciples from other sects watching from the sidelines, after seeing Ye Chenfeng suddenly appear and instantly take down a half-step Innate expert, drew sharp breaths. But then, they considered Ye Chenfeng’s act of throwing himself into the net as utterly foolish.
"Isn’t this young Zhen Tian Sect member just delivering himself to death? With his talent, he could definitely revive the Zhen Tian Sect in the future, but now it’s all too late. The masters from the three major sects are too many; he can’t turn the tide by himself."
"It’s a classic case of the heavens being jealous of the gifted! However, this Zhen Tian Sect youngster should be able to take a few with him before he meets his end!" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
...
While the various sect disciples were discussing amongst themselves, Zhong Yongming patted Du Fuwei’s shoulder and said, "Old Du, you need to keep cool. In a moment, this kid will definitely fall into our hands, then we can slowly torture him to death."
Upon hearing Zhong Yongming’s words, Du Fuwei managed to stabilize his emotions. He knew that he couldn’t afford to make a mistake because of his anger, his eyes filled with malicious intent as he stared fixedly at Ye Chenfeng.
Sitting in a wheelchair, protected by a Heaven Rank High Grade expert, the Sect Leader of the Xuantian Sect, Zhong Tianchi, his expression turned increasingly ferocious after seeing Ye Chenfeng appear. He screamed hoarsely, "You little vermin, you’ve actually come to throw yourself into the net? Do you really think you alone can reverse the current situation?"
Ye Chenfeng, assisting Sun Boyi, estimated the time in his heart. The members of the Wing Guard Team should be able to arrive here soon. He wondered if the people from the three major sects would still say he had thrown himself into the net then? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian.com.
