The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 778 - 774: The Odd-Job Applicant

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

Twelve severed heads quietly rolled to the ground, as Wu Qihai and the others inhaled sharply through their throats. At this moment, what thoughts did they have of wanting to know the location of the treasure? The only thing they wanted to know was how to survive.

With one move, Ye Chenfeng instantaneously killed twelve Heaven Rank High Grade masters. Although Ye Chenfeng only emitted energy fluctuations equal to that of Heaven Rank High Grade, Wu Qihai and the others had completely lost any hope of victory in their hearts. They no longer had the courage to battle against Ye Chenfeng.

Wu Qihai, Hu Dongnan, and Zhang Shifeng all simultaneously turned their gazes upon Xia Zining, knowing that only by taking Xia Zining hostage could they have any right to challenge Ye Chenfeng. With a mutual glance, they swiftly charged toward Xia Zining.

Having now tested the power of the Storm Step Technique, Ye Chenfeng felt no need to waste time on these trash. Watching Wu Qihai and the other two make a beeline for Xia Zining, his brow furrowed slightly, as the aura of King Level Initial Stage Soul Force burst forth from his body.

The surging King Level Initial Stage Soul Force spread out from Ye Chenfeng, enveloping the area around him completely. Wu Qihai and the others, as they sensed this incredibly potent energy fluctuation, abruptly stopped in their tracks. As if a heavy mountain had been placed upon their bodies, they could no longer move a single step, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans started to roll down their foreheads.

When Wu Qihai and the others turned their heads and saw that this aura was emitting from Ye Chenfeng, their hearts utterly plummeted to the depths. This was no mere force on par with Heaven Rank High Grade. Judging by the overpowering sense of oppression, the opponent had surpassed the Innate level; at least, he was comparable to a master of the Sky-Breaking Realm. They, whose strength was at most Heaven Rank High Grade, had dared to target such an individual. Weren’t they just asking for a shorter lifespan?

"Thud! Thud! Thud..."

As the oppressive feeling grew stronger, Wu Qihai and the others all heavily knelt on the ground. Only at this moment did they realize how foolish they had been. All along, the opponent had been toying with them as though they were jumping clowns, yet they had still been bellowing with misplaced confidence.

Xia Zining, not affected by Ye Chenfeng’s Soul Force pressure, glared angrily at Wu Qihai and the others. Walking up to Ye Chenfeng, she said, "Ye Chenfeng, hurry up and deal with these people! Let’s not waste our time here."

"I..."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Wu Qihai had barely uttered a word when his head, and those of Hu Dongnan and Zhang Shifeng, suddenly exploded.

Seeing the bodies of Wu Qihai and the three others lying on the ground, Ye Chenfeng turned his gaze to the remaining five Heaven Rank Middle Grade masters, five Earth Rank High Grade masters, and three maids. Xia Zining, upon seeing the three kneeling maids, was about to plead for them. But, unfortunately, Ye Chenfeng did not wait for her to speak.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."

The unending sounds of heads being blown off echoed in the air. The mix of blood and brain matter filled the atmosphere, causing Xia Zining’s brows to instantly furrow tightly as she asked, "Ye Chenfeng, you really didn’t have to kill those three maids. They were only of Yellow Rank strength, and maybe they were coerced into this too."

Ye Chenfeng shrugged indifferently, his expression unchanging, as if those who died in front of him had no relation to him at all. He responded, "Xia Zining, can you not be so naive? I observed the expressions on the faces of those three maids, and when the enemies were confident of victory, those three maids were also wearing extremely happy expressions."

"I gave them a chance to live, but alas, they did not cherish it. In this world, everyone must pay the price for their actions."

"Now, let’s leave this place! First, let’s go near Tianshan Sect to gather some information, and I’ll also practice the Storm Step Technique a bit more."

...

Five days later.

In the Ancient Martial World, atop a mountain near the Tianshan Sect, a top-tier power.

A man and woman stood on the peak, gazing at the Tianshan Sect. The cold wind whistled in their faces, blowing their hair as it danced with the breeze. As the man’s eyes fixed on the location of the Tianshan Sect, a seemingly endless fury boiled within them.

The woman, noticing the man’s expression, asked, "Ye Chenfeng, now that the disciple selection of the Tianshan Sect has ended, how are we going to infiltrate it?"

This pair was none other than Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining.

Having dealt with the garbage like Wu Qihai and others five days ago, Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining hurried towards the Tianshan Sect. Of course, they bought some clothes and necessities in a town they passed along the way, in case they might need them unexpectedly.

Over these five days, Ye Chenfeng practiced the Storm Step Technique daily. He had begun to truly grasp the essence of the Storm Step Technique. The so-called Storm Step Technique allowed a cultivator, once they had reached a certain level, to move swiftly like a storm. Previously, when Ye Chenfeng deployed the Storm Step Technique, gusts of force would surround him. But now, when he used the technique, small whirlwinds formed around him.

Ye Chenfeng had essentially mastered the Storm Step Technique, and what was left was just the accumulation of time and application. With Chenfeng’s current strength, he could originally match up with masters at the Initial Stage of Sky-Breaking Realm, but with the addition of the Storm Step Technique, he could definitely catch a master of the Initial Stage off guard with a surprise attack, or even kill them instantaneously.

Upon hearing Xia Zining’s question, Ye Chenfeng casually replied, "To infiltrate the Tianshan Sect, we don’t necessarily have to join their disciple selection. Doesn’t the sect recruit handymen? It will be less conspicuous to infiltrate as a handyman."

"Let’s go make some preparations," Ye Chenfeng said as he turned and entered the forest behind him.

Ye Chenfeng and Xia Zining arrived at the entrance of a cave they found in the forest. Over these past days, they had been living there and had thoroughly scouted the terrain around the Tianshan Sect.

Ye Chenfeng went into the cave and pulled out a bundle from inside. Within the bundle were two exceedingly plain clothes, one for a man and another for a woman. Taking the man’s clothes in his hand, he tossed the bundle to Xia Zining, saying, "Go inside the cave to change."

Xia Zining knew that Ye Chenfeng did this for disguise, so she did not argue and took the bundle into the cave to change her clothes.

Five minutes later.

Xia Zining walked out of the cave, changed. Ye Chenfeng put on a Human Skin Mask, and in an instant, he transformed into an image of a naive and honest farmer, complete with a silly smile as if he had just emerged from a ravine. Paired with the plain clothes he wore, his disguise was seamless.

"Xia Zining, you should also change your appearance a bit. Try to look as much like a village girl as possible—the kind that one could tell at first glance has come straight out of the ravines," Ye Chenfeng told Xia Zining.

Xia Zining, though not fond of taking orders from Ye Chenfeng, immediately used an illusion technique and after a surge of energy, she completely transformed into a plain and unattractive woman, matching Ye Chenfeng’s appearance perfectly. Anyone seeing them together would surely take them for a couple who had come out from the deep mountains.

"Xia Zining, when we approach the Tianshan Sect later, we’ll have to pretend to be a couple. Make sure you don’t blow our cover. I believe it won’t be too difficult to apply for a menial job there," Ye Chenfeng said, pleased with Xia Zining’s current look.

Perhaps fearing Xia Zining’s disagreement, Ye Chenfeng added, "After we’ve figured out the Tianshan Sect’s situation, I’ll accompany you to your sect’s treasure trove right away. Besides, we’re only pretending to be a couple. Are you afraid you might fall in love with me?" freewebnøvel_com

Seeing the guileless, silly smile on Ye Chenfeng’s face under the Human Skin Mask, although Xia Zining knew Ye Chenfeng was provoking her, she couldn’t help but grit her teeth and retort sharply, "Fall in love with you, Ye Chenfeng? Stop dreaming. Even in the next life, I wouldn’t fancy a man like you."

"Good, as long as you agree," said Ye Chenfeng with a smile. "From now on, I’ll be called Ye Erniu, and you’ll be Xia Guihua. Make sure to remember your name."
