The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 2036 - 2025: Mystery! Control!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The air was filled with heavy breathing and the sound of swallowing.

Xue Wanqing, whose fingers were interlocked with Ye Chenfeng, had instinctively said she believed him. She had no idea that Jin Liangpeng would actually die in front of them. Her moist lips slightly parted, and her beautiful eyes blinked twice, looking at the scene before her in disbelief.

"Splat!" A sound rang out.

The Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python withdrew its arm which had pierced through Jin Liangpeng’s body, leaving a huge bloody hole in Jin Liangpeng’s chest, from which hot blood continuously flowed out.

The expression on Jin Liangpeng’s face froze at the moment of death, his eyes wide open like lanterns, and the breath in his nose completely vanished. Surely, he had never expected to die like this?

Those present watched as Jin Liangpeng’s corpse slowly fell to the ground. Yu Zhiming’s body became completely stiff, cold sweat crazily pouring from his forehead, and his heartbeat quickened. He tried to convince himself it was all an illusion, but reality was reality.

Wasn’t Ye Chenfeng someone from the Earth Profound Realm? How could he have roots in the Tian Xuan Realm as well? And why would three Heavenly God Realm experts willingly call Ye Chenfeng their master? Could it be that Ye Chenfeng has a terrifying background?

Gu Hongwen and Chen Yuanhua felt it was becoming increasingly difficult to breathe. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, their minds blank, not knowing what to do next.

Ye Chenfeng waved a hand at the Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python and others, saying, "No need to blame yourselves, you arrived just in time."

Immediately, Ye Chenfeng pointed one by one at Yu Zhiming, Chen Yuanhua, and Gu Hongwen, saying, "Capture these three for me first."

Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, Yu Zhiming knew he needed a hostage at hand. Without a word, he rushed towards Zhao Bo, with Chen Yuanhua and Gu Hongwen right on his heels.

However, while Yu Zhiming was fast, the Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python and others were even faster.

Before Yu Zhiming could get close to Zhao Bo, the Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python had already blocked his path. Meanwhile, the Ancient Dragon Lizard and the Ice Soul Demon Spider blocked the paths of Gu Hongwen and Chen Yuanhua.

Seeing his path blocked, Yu Zhiming wanted to attack recklessly, but the aura from the Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python, like a flood, burst out, causing the Spiritual Qi River in Yu Zhiming’s meridians to pause slightly.

The Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python then sealed several of Yu Zhiming’s acupoints, temporarily immobilizing him, leaving him standing there unable to move.

As for Chen Yuanhua and Gu Hongwen, they were even less capable. Both only at the Earth God Realm, the Ancient Dragon Lizard and the Ice Soul Demon Spider easily sealed their acupoints.

Having done these things, the Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python and others respectfully stood back behind Ye Chenfeng. Zhao Bo, Li Bo, and Zhou Santong were left speechless with shock, realizing that having Heavenly God Realm experts recognize someone as their master was something even the greatest geniuses of the Central Continent couldn’t achieve. Ye Chenfeng’s identity seemed increasingly mysterious in their eyes. Was this Ye Chenfeng really from the Earth Profound Realm?

Qin Zhou, who was seated cross-legged on the ground watching this reversal of fortune, felt even more bitter inside. Even before his injuries, he might have been subdued by the trio of the Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python. Now, he truly regretted having always treated Ye Chenfeng unjustly before.

Ye Chenfeng gently patted the back of Xue Wanqing’s hand, prompting her to reluctantly release her grip on Ye Chenfeng’s hand.

The more mysterious a man is, the more deadly the attraction is to a woman. Xue Wanqing was undoubtedly deeply fascinated by Ye Chenfeng’s recurring displays of mystery.

Ye Chenfeng walked up to Yu Zhiming and the other two. Immobilized, their faces looked as if they’d swallowed a fly. Once so arrogant, they now found themselves as helpless as fish on a butcher’s block.

Ye Chenfeng calmly said, "I already reminded you, didn’t I? Now, even if you want a quick death, I won’t grant it."

Feeling Ye Chenfeng’s indifferent gaze, Yu Zhiming and the others felt their hearts tighten, truly beginning to regret provoking such an unfathomably mysterious person. But Yu Zhiming knew now was not the time for regret, so he said, "Let’s just call the past a closed Chapter. I, Yu Zhiming, will never target you or the Qingyue Sect again."

Gu Hongwen and Chen Yuanhua hurriedly chimed in, promising not to provoke Ye Chenfeng again.

Ye Chenfeng chuckled, "Yu Emissary, calling the past closed is not for you to decide. I forgot to tell you, the elixir pills and formation at the bottom of the Endless Sea were traps I laid for you. As for those old ancestors from the Jins and the Three Flames Sect who came to kill me, even though I didn’t kill them personally, they died because of me."

"So? Knowing this, do you still want to call the past a closed Chapter?"

Hearing that everything at the bottom of the Endless Sea was Ye Chenfeng’s doing, rage reignited in Yu Zhiming’s eyes. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Meanwhile, Xue Wanqing, Zhao Bo, and Li Bo shuddered slightly. They never imagined Ye Chenfeng orchestrated all of this. Were his methods too powerful?

Ye Chenfeng didn’t have time for Yu Zhiming and the others. He instructed the Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python and the others, "Let them die in extreme pain."

The Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python immediately said, "Yes, Master, leave everything to me!"

Then, the Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python walked up to Yu Zhiming and unleashed a surge of Spiritual Energy from within. He pressed his right hand’s index and middle fingers together, red light flickering from his joined fingers: "Blood Transformation Finger!"

The Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python’s joined fingers then touched Yu Zhiming’s chest, a crimson energy spreading through Yu Zhiming’s body.

Next, he performed the Blood Transformation Finger on Chen Yuanhua and Gu Hongwen as well.

The Blood Transformation Finger is an extremely vicious Secret Technique, whereby those hit slowly see their bodies and bones transform into a pool of blood.

The weaker the individual, the faster the body turns to blood. Chen Yuanhua and Gu Hongwen, at the Earth God Realm, found their chests decomposing into blood.

Yu Zhiming, stronger than the others, experienced slower corrosion.

Watching your body corrode into a pool of blood is an extremely painful and terrifying ordeal, one that could mentally break even an Earth God Realm expert. Feeling intense pain in his chest yet being unable to move, Gu Hongwen couldn’t help but plead, "I was wrong; it was all my fault for underestimating you. I promise to make it up to you, young brother."

After Gu Hongwen’s plea, Chen Yuanhua also humbly spoke up, "Young brother, if you let me live, I’ll do anything for you, even letting you become the Sect Master of the Three Flames Sect."

Only Yu Zhiming remained silent and sullen, though his horrified eyes betrayed his emotions to everyone.

Ye Chenfeng paid no attention to their pleas, approaching Qin Zhou, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground. He said, "At the Tian Xuan Ceremony, you intentionally showed favoritism; do you admit this?"

Qin Zhou glanced at Ye Chenfeng questioning him, then at the Swallowing Heaven Dragon Python and the others next to him, and bitterly smiled, "I admit it."

Ye Chenfeng nodded in satisfaction, saying, "If not for my decent strength, I might already be dead because of your bias. Additionally, during the commotion over the so-called Five-Star Secret Method, you chose to stand by, again showing bias as an Emissary of the Tian Xuan Ceremony. Do you admit this too?"

Qin Zhou continued to nod, "I admit it!"

Ye Chenfeng again spoke with satisfaction, "However, recalling how you warned me outside the ancient tomb not to enter back then, you did have good intentions, and you just advised Yu Zhiming and them to drop it. Your conscience hasn’t entirely gone to the dogs. I’ll spare your life today, but you must allow me to plant a Divine Sense Brand in your Sea of Consciousness."

"Choose now! Life or death?"

The reason Ye Chenfeng chose not to kill Qin Zhou was that the commotion he’d caused was already too great. If both Emissaries died, the Central Continent would certainly become suspicious. Currently, Ye Chenfeng wasn’t yet strong enough to confront top forces from the Central Continent!

The air was filled with the pleas and screams of Chen Yuanhua and Gu Hongwen, until their voices abruptly stopped and they completely turned into puddles of blood. Finally, Qin Zhou spoke, sighing, "I’ll let you plant a brand in my Sea of Consciousness."

Once branded, Qin Zhou’s life would be entirely under Ye Chenfeng’s control.
