The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 751 - 748

This night.

Ye Chenfeng had basically not closed his eyes, the current situation could be said to be the most difficult one he had ever faced.

The next day, early in the morning, Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining ate something quickly and then immediately set out toward the top-tier forces.

Ye Chenfeng had once heard from Ji Shunde that on the easternmost side of the Ancient Martial World, a dense fog horizontally bisected the region, and beneath the fog was a river that flowed across the Ancient Martial World. It was said that the river possessed an extremely strong corrosive nature and all top-tier forces were on the other side of the river.

After traveling for two days and nights, on the morning of the third day, Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining finally reached their destination. Ye Chenfeng looked at the thick fog before him and asked, "Is there really a river under this fog? And the water has intense corrosiveness?" freёwebnoѵel.com

Xia Zining, with just the strength of Middle Grade Profound Rank, was completely exhausted from the continuous traveling over the past two days. She found a fairly clean rock to sit on and nodded at Ye Chenfeng wearily.

"Xia Zining, let’s hurry and make it to the top-tier forces then," Ye Chenfeng said to Xia Zining, who was seated on the rock.

Xia Zining shook her head and said, "It’s not the right time yet. Around three or four in the evening, the fog will slowly thin out, and then you’ll discover the true nature beneath the fog."

Ye Chenfeng knew there must be a reason Xia Zining said this, but it was only around seven or eight in the morning at that time, and there were still eight or nine hours until three or four in the afternoon. Ye Chenfeng saw a wooden stick about two meters long not far away. He picked up the stick and once again walked to the front of the fog, inserting the stick into the depths of the fog.

However, after just half a minute or so, Ye Chenfeng saw the portion of the stick exposed outside the fog rapidly disappearing. He hastily threw the stick to the side, and as he did, the entire stick completely vanished before his eyes.

Wasn’t the corrosiveness of the river water under this fog a bit too formidable?

Ye Chenfeng exhaled a breath through his mouth with lingering fear, and Xia Zining, who was sitting on the rock, seeing Ye Chenfeng’s rare discomposed appearance, couldn’t help but let a beautiful smile cross her lips as she said, "Just wait until three or four o’clock! Not only will the fog be thinnest then, but the corrosive nature of the river water will also be at its weakest."

What more could Ye Chenfeng say? He could only sit down beside Xia Zining and patiently wait for the time to pass.

Xia Zining wasn’t interested in talking to Ye Chenfeng, and Ye Chenfeng had no intention of being overly friendly to someone who was not receptive, so Ye Chenfeng chose to close his eyes and rest.

Eight or nine hours passed in the blink of an eye.

When Ye Chenfeng opened his eyes, it was about three o’clock, and the fog in front of him was indeed thinning out at a visible rate, just as Xia Zining had said.

Xia Zining stood up from the stone and walked to the front of the fog, with Ye Chenfeng following behind her. Xia Zining, looking at the increasingly sparse fog, pointed into the fog and said, "Ye Chenfeng, do you see those rectangular stone posts under the fog? These are what will ensure our safe arrival at the top-tier forces."

"At this time, not only will the fog become sparse, but the corrosiveness of the river water will weaken, and even the water level will drop, revealing these special-material stone posts that lie hidden beneath the water," she explained.

"Of course, just these alone won’t be enough. The most important thing is that the strength of the person crossing must reach the level of the Innate Realm, so you’ll have to wrap your ’Soul Force’ around me later, otherwise, I’ll suffer very serious internal injuries, or even die," she concluded.

Ye Chenfeng followed the direction of Xia Zining’s pointed finger, and indeed, through the hazy fog, he saw a rectangular stone pedestal. He extended his right arm and wrapped it around Xia Zining’s willowy waist. Just when Xia Zining was about to get angry, Ye Chenfeng said righteously, "Don’t think I’m trying to take advantage of you. Haven’t you noticed how thick your waist has become? If I don’t hold onto you, how can I guarantee your safety later?"

After hearing Ye Chenfeng’s explanation, Xia Zining could only bite her lip and endure the shame and anger brewing inside her again.

Ye Chenfeng released his Soul Force from within his body, enveloping both himself and Xia Zining. Then, holding onto Xia Zining, he stepped onto the first rectangular stone pedestal beneath the fog. Upon setting foot on it, both he and Xia Zining were completely swallowed by the fog, breathing became incredibly difficult, as if there was no oxygen in the mist at all.

Ye Chenfeng could vaguely see the second stone pedestal about a meter in front of him, and with Xia Zining securely in his arms, he steadily landed on the second pedestal...

Four to five minutes later.

The scene before their eyes changed, Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining emerged next to a forest, with no buildings around, and a thin mist behind them— they had reached the side controlled by the top forces.

Having Xia Zining’s tricks for passing through and Ye Chenfeng’s strength equal to the Peak of the Innate Realm, it was, of course, no surprise that they safely crossed the mist.

"By the way, Ye Chenfeng, do you have any gold bars? The common currency on this side among the top forces consists of gold bars, silver bars, and copper bars. We need to find a city to settle down in first, and we’ll definitely need money then," Xia Zining suddenly asked.

"Sis, why didn’t you mention something so important earlier? Where am I supposed to find gold bars now?" grumbled Ye Chenfeng, dissatisfied.

Then, Ye Chenfeng saw two middle-aged men about a hundred meters ahead. With his keen hearing, he could vaguely make out their conversation.

The two middle-aged men, about a hundred meters away, were disciples of the Tianshan Sect. The one with long hair was named Xiao Huiliang, and the one with short hair was named Li Haojie.

"Brother Xiao, we’ve only been back for a few days, and the sect is already sending us to the territories of the first and second-tier forces again. I’ve heard that the main target hasn’t been killed yet— a youth named Ye Chenfeng. It is said that he possesses strength comparable to the Middle Stage or the Peak of the Innate Realm! However, as soon as this Ye Chenfeng shows up in the Ancient Martial World, it should be a piece of cake for the two of us to deal with him," said Li Haojie, a Tianshan Sect disciple.

"Junior Brother Li, the recent massacre was quite satisfying. The people from the Heaven Shaking Sect and the Ghost Doctor Sect were ridiculously weak," Xiao Huiliang said with a laugh.

"That’s for sure! Brother Xiao, and the female disciples from the Heaven Shaking Sect and the Ghost Doctor Sect were quite something. I killed two of them myself. It’s a pity we don’t have such luck this time. Had I known, I should’ve spared a few female disciples," Li Haojie said with a beastly grin on his face.

"We should make a quick trip to the first and second-tier forces’ territories. If Ye Chenfeng returns, we’ll kill him on sight. If he hasn’t, let’s find some pleasure with a few female disciples from the sects there. With our strength, it’s not at all difficult to quietly kidnap a few, right?" Encouraged by Li Haojie, Xiao Huiliang’s expression also bore a look of craving.

Listening in from afar, Ye Chenfeng learned that they were from the Tianshan Sect. Anger spontaneously flared within him. However, after briefly assessing their strength, he realized both of them had reached the Innate Realm, one at the Peak and the other at the Middle Stage.

Thus, to kill these two beasts, Ye Chenfeng could only rely on his wits rather than outright confrontation, as his current strength was only on par with a master at the Peak of the Innate Realm.

After calming his emotions, Ye Chenfeng immediately grabbed a handful of mud from the ground and haphazardly smeared it over his face. Since they were coming for him, there was a chance they had his portrait, and he couldn’t afford to be recognized outright.

Xia Zining, who was beside him, also noticed the approaching figures and was about to change into the appearance of a young girl, but Ye Chenfeng stopped her. A creepy smile crossed his lips as he said, "Don’t rush to change your appearance. You’ll have to cooperate with me in a moment. Our deliverers of gold bars have arrived." (To be continued.
