The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 585: Not Afraid of Death, Just Afraid of Living a Cowardly Life

Qin Yi, whose strength was only at the High Grade of the Yellow Rank, was completely overwhelmed by shock. He hadn’t expected this young man named Ye Chenfeng to actually have killed Gu Fengbo, who was at the High Grade of the Heaven Rank? Looking at Gu Fengbo’s motionless body on the ground, he knew that all of this was real, not an illusion.

Ye Chenfeng looked at the members of the Wing Guard Team who hadn’t yet snapped out of their daze, and said, "Now you should understand the principle that there is always someone stronger out there, right? These people are all from the Ancient Martial World. Do you know why I’ve been trying to get you to quickly improve your strength? It’s for the day when we step into the Ancient Martial World. I hope to wield a power that can sweep through the Ancient Martial World, and that power is you. So your current strength is still far from enough. To follow me into the Ancient Martial World in the future, you must strive to improve your strength at all costs."

To the members of the Wing Guard Team, the Ancient Martial World was both unfamiliar and mysterious. They had originally thought that Ye Chenfeng ought to be considered one of the world’s peak powerhouses. They hadn’t expected the experts from the Ancient Martial World to be so formidable. And upon hearing that Ye Chenfeng would take them into the Ancient Martial World in the future, they were all boiling with excitement. In their view, being able to constantly battle against powerful opponents and continuously enhance their strength was the life a real man should lead.

"Instructor Ye, we will work hard and strive to become a strong force behind you by the time you enter the Ancient Martial World," Wang Li said firmly, although Ye Chenfeng had not mentioned why he wanted to enter the Ancient Martial World. Wang Li guessed that Ye Chenfeng must have an unavoidable reason for doing so. There would inevitably be conflicts with the sects in the Ancient Martial World; thus, for them, the only option was to continually improve their strength so they could be of help to Ye Chenfeng in the future.

"To assist Instructor Ye in sweeping through the Ancient Martial World."

"To assist Instructor Ye in sweeping through the Ancient Martial World."

...

The members of the Wing Guard Team roared passionately, all of them eagerly looking forward to the day they would enter the Ancient Martial World with Ye Chenfeng. They were also extremely curious about the mysteries of the Ancient Martial World.

Qin Yi, watching from a distance, had a strange expression on his face upon hearing the shouts of the Wing Guard Team. He knew that although Ye Chenfeng was strong and had a group of Earth Rank experts under him, barging into the Ancient Martial World with such a posture would not amount to sweeping through it. He feared that even a second-rate force in the Ancient Martial World could completely annihilate them.

As Qin Yi pondered in silence, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. When he saw Ye Chenfeng and the others looking at him, he hurriedly said, "I’m really not with them, nor am I from the same sect. We met before leaving the Ancient Martial World, and they’ve made fun of me all the way. I’m known as a well-known trash in the Ancient Martial World."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Qin Yi’s mouth. Ye Chenfeng felt that the young man before him didn’t seem to be lying. Besides, given the other’s strength, he posed no threat to anyone present. So Ye Chenfeng said, "What’s your name? I would like to learn something about the Ancient Martial World from you."

Seeing that Ye Chenfeng believed what he had said, Qin Yi quickly stepped forward and, after carefully sizing up Ye Chenfeng, said, "Aren’t you a bit too incredible? You were actually able to kill an expert at the High Grade of the Heaven Rank? Even among the big powers in the Ancient Martial World, there probably aren’t many young people more powerful than you."

"Can I follow you in the future? At best, I’m just a piece of trash in the Ancient Martial World. I really don’t want to go back to that place. Oh, and I forgot to answer your question. My name is Qin Yi," Qin Yi rambled on quite familiarly.

Ye Chenfeng asked directly, "Qin Yi, do you know of a woman named Han Chuxue in the Ancient Martial World?"

Han Chuxue?

Qin Yi muttered the name to himself and then, with shining eyes, said, "The Han Chuxue you’re talking about, couldn’t be the Han Chuxue from the Han Sect, could it? She’s a renowned beauty in the Ancient Martial World, and I even had the fortune to see her many years ago! She’s the kind of woman that once you see her, you can’t forget her, with an appearance akin to a frosty fairy."

Listening to Qin Yi’s description, Ye Chenfeng was certain that the Han Chuxue he spoke of was indeed the Han Chuxue he knew and continued to ask, "Then do you know if Han Chuxue has returned to the Ancient Martial World?"

This time, Qin Yi shook his head somewhat helplessly and said, "I think Han Chuxue is probably dead. Han Chuxue originally was the daughter of the Sect Leader of the Han Sect, which is also considered a second-rate power in the Ancient Martial World. It is said that Han Chuxue’s uncle, in order to fight for the position of Sect Leader, killed Han Chuxue’s parents. After that, Han Chuxue seemed to just vanish in the Ancient Martial World, and nobody knew her whereabouts. Therefore, many suspected that Han Chuxue was dead, and now the entire Han Sect is under her uncle’s control."

"By the way, how do you know Han Chuxue?" Qin Yi asked Ye Chenfeng, puzzled.

The Han Sect? It seemed this was the deep grudge and great hatred of Han Chuxue. Ye Chenfeng roughly deduced the whole story. Initially, Han Chuxue had been silently forced out of the Ancient Martial World by her uncle, her tendons severed, ultimately ending up auctioned off at a border trading market.

Since Qin Yi thought Han Chuxue was dead, it proved that Han Chuxue had not returned to the Ancient Martial World. Ye Chenfeng believed Han Chuxue must be cultivating somewhere in the secular world, and she would only return to the Ancient Martial World for revenge once she had gained enough strength. Otherwise, returning rashly to the Ancient Martial World would be akin to courting death. After realizing this, Ye Chenfeng felt considerably relieved.

"Han Chuxue is my woman, and she is still alive," Ye Chenfeng calmly said to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi was nearly choked by these words and said in astonishment, "What? Han Chuxue is your woman? Is she really not dead? You’re not joking with me, are you?"

Then, Qin Yi sighed and said, "Well, it doesn’t really have much to do with me. Do you really plan to sweep through the Ancient Martial World? It’s not as simple as you think. A first-rate power in the Ancient Martial World has at least thirty Heaven Rank experts, and a second-rate power has at least twenty. With your current ability, entering the Ancient Martial World won’t cause any ripples. A second or even a third-rate power could wipe out all your people here, not to mention there are top forces above the first-rate powers."

Ye Chenfeng shrugged nonchalantly, his expression unchanging, and said, "I originally intended to destroy only two sects in the Ancient Martial World: the Xuantian Sect and the Cold Sea Pavilion. Now there’s one more, the Han Sect."

"You’re insane, I really think you’ve lost your mind," Qin Yi said, shaking his head. "The Xuantian Sect is a first-rate power, the Cold Sea Pavilion is a second-rate force, and so is the Han Sect. What do you think are your chances of defeating them?"

Ye Chenfeng squinted at the sun in the sky, a smile spreading across his lips as he said, "There are things you know you can’t do, but you have to go ahead and do them anyway, even if there’s only a 0.1% chance. I must enter the Ancient Martial World within about a year’s time."

"Aren’t you afraid of dying?" Qin Yi found it hard to understand Ye Chenfeng’s perseverance. He believed with Ye Chenfeng’s talent, he could certainly become an extraordinary master in the future. If he entered the Ancient Martial World in the next couple of years, he might fall there.

"I’m not afraid of dying, I’m just afraid of living too meekly. There are some things that must be done." Ye Chenfeng looked toward the horizon and silently asked himself, "Chu Xue, how are you doing now?"

Not afraid of dying, only afraid of living too meekly!

Ye Chenfeng’s words were like an awakening, causing Qin Yi to suddenly understand many things. His body trembled slightly as he looked at Ye Chenfeng and said, "No wonder you possess such formidable strength at such a young age. It’s because you have a strong heart. Where others would turn back after hitting the south wall, you would keep going until you knock down the wall in your way."(To be continued.
