The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1386 - 1377: Fleeing in Embarrassment
Chapter 1386: Chapter 1377: Fleeing in Embarrassment
Eight gigantic fire dragons seemed to roar in the air.
The sea of flames behind Ye Chenfeng continued to churn, with streams of red fire rapidly shooting out from it. Like lively sprites, they danced around Ye Chenfeng.
The entire blazing sea stretching across the ancient tomb of gods and demons started to wriggle like a massive crawling creature. The power of the Green Flame was perhaps limited, and Ye Chenfeng couldn’t control the entire sea of flames all at once. He could only accurately control the flames that emerged from the blaze, but that was more than sufficient for Ye Chenfeng.
Flames shooting out from the sea never stopped, and Ye Chenfeng seemed to become a magnet, exerting a tremendous attraction on the red flames within the sea. Soon, the air around the area grew increasingly hot, causing a severe burning sensation upon inhalation.
Standing not far behind Ye Chenfeng was Shui Menghan, and the surrounding flames consciously avoided her; this must have been Ye Chenfeng’s doing. As she watched the flames wildly dance around Ye Chenfeng, she moistened her dry lips, her beautiful eyes filled with wonder, and murmured to herself, "Brother Ye, is Brother Ye able to control the flames in this sea of fire?"
Ye Chenfeng raised his right arm high and waved it towards Jiang Junqian and the others. The eight fire dragons in the sky suddenly swooped down, swiftly sweeping towards Jiang Junqian and his group.
Jiang Junqian, Jiang Motian, and others seemed to suddenly lose their ability to think. But Ning Xuening, the daughter of the Sect Master of Hanbing Sect, reacted quickly; her storage ring flashed, and a white mirror appeared in her hand. She immediately shouted, "Everyone come here, quickly inject your spiritual energy into this mirror, or we’ll all perish."
The mirror, named Ice Mirror, was said to be crafted from a block of ice that would never melt for ten thousand years, combined with other auxiliary materials. The Ice Mirror was unmistakably a defensive-type middle-grade Spiritual Artifact.
As the daughter of the Sect Master of Hanbing Sect, Ning Xuening naturally possessed an abundance of magical artifacts. Upon hearing Ning Xuening’s words, Ning Xuesong was the first to inject spiritual energy into the Ice Mirror, and the others didn’t hesitate either, transferring their energy into the mirror, recognizing it at least as a middle-grade Spiritual Artifact.
The eight fiery dragons swooping down almost reached Jiang Junqian and his group, but after everyone injected their spiritual energy into the Ice Mirror, it emitted a brilliant white light. Originally only the size of two palms, the Ice Mirror rapidly expanded, shielding Jiang Junqian and the others.
A loud "bang!" resounded.
The eight fire dragons fiercely struck the Ice Mirror, burning its surface intensely. Although it was protected by the mirror, Jiang Junqian and the others still felt the scorching heat. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
After burning for half a minute, the eight fire dragons gradually disappeared.
"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"
As the eight fire dragons dissipated, faint sounds came from the Ice Mirror, and then cracks appeared on its surface. With a loud "bang," the massive Ice Mirror instantly shattered into powder in the air.
Jiang Junqian, Ning Xuesong, Jiang Motian, and Ning Xuening’s vision returned to Ye Chenfeng standing not far away after the mirror crumbled. Their thoughts were almost paralyzed; this Ice Mirror was a middle-grade Spiritual Artifact, one that harnessed all their combined powers. Although they managed to block one attack from Ye Chenfeng, the mirror nonetheless disintegrated into powder?
If it hadn’t been for the Ice Mirror to shield them, or had they injected less spiritual energy into it, they might already have been reduced to ashes by the eight fire dragons. This realization filled their eyes with terror.
Surrounded by red flames, Ye Chenfeng ceased to speak nonsense, striding forward, his figure darting toward Jiang Junqian and the others. Jiang Motian from the Yinming Sect grimly said, "This place is dangerous; this kid can control the flames here, making it exceedingly unfavorable for us to fight him here."
Among these people, Jiang Junqian, Ning Xuesong, and Jiang Motian were the strongest, and they were the first to dodge out of the way. Naturally, Ning Xuesong didn’t forget to take Ning Xuening with him.
The others reacted more slowly; they even shivered with fear. Ye Chenfeng’s gaze swiftly locked onto the bald man and the birthmarked man from the Shuis, who had previously been quite vocal,
In an instant, Ye Chenfeng appeared before the bald man and the birthmarked man, and with two hands surrounded by red flames, he fiercely clasped their necks. Their necks quickly melted, and in the blink of an eye, their heads rolled off and hit the ground.
After the bald man and the birthmarked man died, part of the energy within them surged into Ye Chenfeng’s body, while another portion dissipated into the sky.
Their delay allowed Jiang Junqian and the others to catch their breath. Jiang Motian glanced at two Yinming Sect disciples beside him and, unexpectedly, crushed their skullcaps with his palms, absorbing some of their energy into his own body. He remarked, "They would certainly die at this kid’s hands, no point letting this kid benefit."
Ning Xuesong, witnessing Jiang Motian’s actions, acted almost immediately, attacking four Hanbing Sect disciples. After dispatching them, part of their energies flowed into Ning Xuesong’s body.
Ning Xuesong looked at the perplexed Ning Xuening beside him and quickly said, "Xuening, this isn’t the time for talking, we need to leave now."
With that, Ning Xuesong took out two Gale Charms from his storage ring. Talisman Masters were rarer than Alchemists and Artifact Refiners in the Earth Profound Realm, but as disciples from a major sect, they had ways to acquire some charms.
Once the Gale Charm was affixed to a cultivator and activated with spiritual energy, it increased their speed for a short time.
As Ning Xuesong produced the Gale Charms, Jiang Motian and Jiang Junqian each took out their own, though they only had a few charms. These Gale Charms were the easiest to obtain in the Earth Profound Realm, yet even the easiest to obtain were deemed very valuable by Jiang Junqian and others.
Initially in the tomb area, Jiang Junqian and others did not use the Gale Charms to accelerate their escape because they were surrounded by the spirits, rendering any boost in speed useless. Hence, they didn’t use the Gale Charms at that time, and the speed boost was quite limited as well.
Ning Xuesong was the first to take out two Gale Charms, and after securing them, he immediately led Ning Xuening away towards the distance.
Jiang Motian was the second to escape using the Gale Charm, as Jiang Junqian lagged behind a bit due to his missing right hand.
After dealing with two Shui disciples, Ye Chenfeng saw that Ning Xuesong and others were heading far away. Watching Jiang Junqian trailing behind, he swung his right hand and shot a flaming snake, "whoosh!" aiming for Jiang Junqian.
Jiang Junqian slightly tilted his body, narrowly avoiding the deadly strike. However, the snake hit his left arm, reducing it to ashes, yet Jiang Junqian didn’t stop or cry out, ignoring the bleeding stump, continuing his escape.
In terms of speed, Ye Chenfeng truly wasn’t as fast as Ning Xuesong and others now. Yet, he couldn’t simply watch them escape. Staring at the raging sea of flames behind him, he raised his hands toward the fire, shouting, "Rise!"
A huge mass of flames surged and detached from the sea, and Ye Chenfeng said to Shui Menghan, "Menghan, wait here for me."
Ye Chenfeng’s figure chased after Jiang Junqian and the others, with the detached flames closely following behind him like a massive tail.
