The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 593: Break Out of the Encirclement
Chapter 593: Chapter 593: Break Out of the Encirclement
The underground palace was completely engulfed in white smoke, and the remaining three great generals along with the members of the Devouring Empire could only feel a burning pain in their eyes, as if they had been rubbed with countless chilies. They were simply unable to open their eyes, and in the white smoke they couldn’t make out any direction, allowing Ye Chenfeng and his people to leave.
The remaining three great generals were seething with rage, smoke practically billowing from their seven orifices. They had paid a great price to use this method that temporarily boosted their strength. And now, even though their power had been elevated to Level Ten Soul Force, they hadn’t even touched a single hair on Ye Chenfeng’s head. Especially when they heard what Ye Chenfeng said as he was leaving, the remaining generals felt a surge of anger so intense that they wanted to vomit blood.
Trapped in the white smoke, with his Soul Force raised to Level Ten, how could Feng, the Wind General, be content to just let Ye Chenfeng and the others leave like this? Not to mention the great price they had paid; this time not only had the Thunder General died, but also their strength would drop to a Level Five for the next three months. If they couldn’t kill Ye Chenfeng and his people now, then how could they face the King?
Feng knew he had to keep Ye Chenfeng and the others in the estate. He shouted, "Immediately notify everyone in the estate that we must keep Ye Chenfeng and his people here. No matter the cost, if they fail to do this, I will personally send them to meet King Yama."
Because they were in Country M, all the firepower points in the estate were arranged by Fern, who was currently in charge of the Devouring Empire’s affairs in Country M.
Fern, too, trapped in the white smoke, immediately took out a communication device upon hearing Feng’s command and notified the people outside, "Listen up, Hei Xin and Ye Chenfeng are heading outside the estate. You must keep them all here, even if you turn them into corpses, it doesn’t matter."
While Fern was using the communication device to inform people inside the estate, Ye Chenfeng, Hei Xin, and the others had already returned to the exit leading to the surface. However, the exit had been sealed again. Ye Chenfeng patted the material blocking the exit with his palm, shrugged casually, and said, "You all take a few steps back."
Hei Xin and the others knew Ye Chenfeng was going to use his strength to break through the exit, so they immediately took three or four steps back.
Rumbling with Peak Level Nine Soul Force inside his body, Ye Chenfeng slammed a punch towards the exit. With a loud "bang," a huge slit appeared in the material, large enough for Ye Chenfeng and his companions to exit.
Ye Chenfeng was certain that although the white smoke had temporarily trapped the members of the Devouring Empire, the enemies undoubtedly had communicators. Surely, the people outside the estate were waiting for them to emerge, and when they did, Ye Chenfeng and his group would definitely face a fierce firepower attack.
"Hei Xin, Wang Li, Qin Yi, once we’re out there, keep within a meter of me," Ye Chenfeng instructed everyone clearly.
Hei Xin and the others, of course, had no objections, and they all followed closely beside Ye Chenfeng as they walked out of the estate. Just as they stepped out of the great hall, they heard the relentless "tatatatatatata" of machine-gun fire around them. Tongues of fire reached out from all directions towards Ye Chenfeng and the others–anyone else would have been riddled with bullets by now.
However, Ye Chenfeng had long released his Soul Force, and countless bullets stopped more than a meter away from him, suspended mid-air. Thousands of bullets floated there, tightly surrounding Ye Chenfeng and his people, a sight that was truly breathtaking. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Hei Xin, Wang Li, Qin Yi, and the others, seeing the bullets floating around them, broke out in beads of sweat the size of soybeans on their foreheads, and their clothes were completely soaked through, "gulp, gulp, gulp," their throats were incredibly dry as they kept swallowing saliva.
The gunners hidden at the firepower points in the estate, upon seeing this eerie scene before them, thought their eyes were playing tricks and began rubbing them constantly with the backs of their hands.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Four seconds.
Five seconds.
When the gunmen opened their eyes again, they still saw countless bullets suspended mid-air—not an illusion, they now realized. Their hearts leapt to their throats. Under the warm sunlight above, these gunmen and snipers entwined in the crossfire felt like they’d just been fished out of a lake, their hands trembling as they held onto their guns, utterly at a loss, uncertain whether to continue firing or...
Ye Chenfeng didn’t have the luxury of time to dilly-dally. If Feng Zhan, now enhanced to Level Ten, gave chase, their chances of escaping safely were virtually nil.
Ye Chenfeng’s body shook violently as his Soul Force expanded once more. The countless bullets that hung frozen in the air changed direction, heading back the way they came, and screams erupted throughout the estate.
Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s miraculous feat, Qin Yi breathed raggedly and said, "Boss, that’s too awesome! It feels damn satisfying."
Ye Chenfeng rolled his eyes at Qin Yi and said, "If I were that awesome, would we need to run? There are many in this world more powerful than me, but someday, I will stand at the Peak."
"Alright, now’s not the time for talk. Make sure to keep up with me," Ye Chenfeng continued, running towards the outside of the estate.
The six burly men in black guarding the gate had also witnessed Ye Chenfeng’s divine intervention. Their hands shook non-stop as they held their pistols, and they didn’t have the courage to aim at Ye Chenfeng and the others, merely watching them leave the estate with wide eyes.
As Ye Chenfeng and his party brushed past the six burly men in black, the men’s psychological endurance completely collapsed. They all plopped to the ground, feeling as if they had skirted the edge of death.
Ye Chenfeng and his group left along the pre-planned route, and Ye Chenfeng had sent a text to Li Yaguo before entering the estate; Li Yaguo should be waiting to pick them up at this moment.
About fifteen minutes after Ye Chenfeng and his party left the estate, the three war generals and other members of the Devouring Empire emerged from the main hall. When they saw the gunmen and snipers at the firing points were now nothing but corpses, their faces turned unspeakably grim—they knew Ye Chenfeng and his allies must have made their escape.
The ones within the Devouring Empire who were most afraid of Ye Chenfeng’s safe departure were Fern and the three former underlings of Hei Xin. They had witnessed Ye Chenfeng crushing Lei Zhan’s head with a single punch. Fern had provoked Ye Chenfeng multiple times, and the latter had betrayed Hei Xin. If Ye Chenfeng came for them alone, would they have any chance of survival?
Feng Zhan made his way to the entrance of the estate and upon seeing the six men in black collapsed on the ground, his fury grew ever more intense. He had a Level Ten Soul Force but nowhere to unleash it, and he could maintain this state for only one hour, after which his strength would plummet to Level Five. The other two war generals had already dropped to Level Five when they transferred all their Soul Force to Feng Zhan in an instant.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Ye Chenfeng, I will tear you to pieces," Feng Zhan bellowed to the sky as his formidable Level Ten Soul Force burst forth.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
The Soul Force imploded the skulls of the six black-clad men sprawled on the ground. He coldly shouted, "The Devouring Empire has no need for trash. If you lack the courage to even stall Ye Chenfeng, what use do I have for you? A bunch of garbage."
The other members of the Devouring Empire, seeing Feng Zhan mercilessly kill the six gatekeepers, knew he was thoroughly enraged. Nobody dared to speak, afraid of becoming an innocent casualty. At the same time, they realized they needed to beef up their defenses. With the power Ye Chenfeng wielded, killing them would be a simple task. They would no longer regard Ye Chenfeng as a delusional fool. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly passes.
