Not only did Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong’s expressions freeze.

Everyone else present was suddenly dumbstruck.

The events unfolding before their eyes were so unexpected that they couldn’t accept them for a moment.

Just after Ding Zhenhu launched his attack on Ye Chenfeng, everyone initially thought Ye Chenfeng would die at Ding Zhenhu’s hands.

But instead, Ding Zhenhu inexplicably slipped, his neck crashed directly onto Ye Chenfeng’s sword, and in the end, his neck was pierced by Ye Chenfeng’s Qingyun Sword, dying in an almost ridiculous manner.

Initially, everyone saw this as an accident. After all, Ye Chenfeng seemed to have no momentum, and though his bones had healed, his meridians hadn’t recovered at all, plus he was only thirty years old. Even if he had regained his original power, how strong could he be? He probably wouldn’t even reach the Nirvana Realm.

So when Ding Zhenhu’s brother Ding Zhenlong arrived and unhesitatingly attacked Ye Chenfeng, the others knew Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t have the same luck again.

That aggressive Ding Zhenlong was clearly going to smash Ye Chenfeng’s head. He unleashed the momentum of the Peak of the Fifth Heaven Nirvana Realm to its fullest, and Ye Chenfeng seemed really about to die this time.

But then something astonishing happened again.

Ye Chenfeng effortlessly blocked Ding Zhenlong’s fierce punch and, with punch after punch, reduced Ding Zhenlong’s body to a pulp. The mighty Ding Zhenlong, of the Fifth Heaven Nirvana Realm Peak, had no power to resist against Ye Chenfeng.

Isn’t this too bizarre? From beginning to end, Ye Chenfeng showed no sign of momentum.

How did Ye Chenfeng manage to kill Ding Zhenlong with his bare hands?

The others present weren’t fools; they quickly realized Ding Zhenhu’s death wasn’t an accident either.

Ding Zhenhu definitely didn’t just slip; Ye Chenfeng was behind it.

The Ding brothers, Ding Zhenlong and Ding Zhenhu, were the unquestioned overlords of the junkyard, and now they’d both died by Ye Chenfeng’s hands. The spectators were drenched in cold sweat.

Ye Chenfeng must have relied on his physical strength to kill Ding Zhenlong.

So if Ye Chenfeng’s meridians recover, what level of power would he possess?

While the people silently speculated, Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong finally came to their senses, staring at Ye Chenfeng as if seeing him for the first time.

Ye Chenfeng, with his hands covered in Ding Zhenlong’s blood, flicked his arm, scattering blood droplets that landed on the ground.

Looking at the siblings Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong, Ye Chenfeng smiled calmly, "I told you, I will protect you siblings, I’ve always been someone who keeps my promises."

Originally, Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong thought of Ye Chenfeng as somewhat weak in nature.

This dramatic reversal caused a massive impact on this sibling’s psyche.

Cao Xiaodong kept inspecting Ye Chenfeng, and after a moment, he finally spoke, "Kid..."

As soon as he uttered these words, Cao Xiaodong quickly corrected himself, "Brother Ye, you truly hide your abilities well! You’re only thirty years old, what level is your power exactly? Did you solely rely on physical strength to kill Ding Zhenlong?"

"The physical strength of a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator surely couldn’t manage that, not even the strength of a Spirit God Realm. Could it be that Brother Ye, your original strength was in the Earth God Realm? Oh right, you must have originally been in the Earth God Realm; even though your meridians haven’t recovered, your physique remains in the Earth God Realm."

Cao Xiaodong muttered to himself, guessing Ye Chenfeng was originally an Earth God Realm strongman, which was a large assumption for him. Having never practiced cultivations, Cao Yunwei and Cao Xiaodong were unfamiliar with the physical strength of the Earth God Realm.

But, Ye Chenfeng was only thirty.

Neither Cao Yunwei nor Cao Xiaodong had ever heard of a thirty-year-old Earth God Realm strongman, and they never considered Ye Chenfeng a Heavenly God Realm strongman.

After all, in Floating Cloud City, which Heavenly God Realm strongman wasn’t thousands of years old? How could a thirty-year-old possibly reach the Heavenly God Realm? Even thinking of Ye Chenfeng as an Earth God Realm strongman was incredibly unbelievable to them.

Seeing Cao Xiaodong eagerly awaiting his answer, Ye Chenfeng felt a helpless bitter smile, noticing Cao Yunwei also glancing at him from the corner of her eye.

Ye Chenfeng knew that if he claimed to be in the Divine King Realm, this sibling duo might not believe him, so as a Divine King Realm, Ye Chenfeng had no choice but to play the role of an Earth God Realm strength holder.

Ye Chenfeng nodded, "Pretty much."

Upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s response, Cao Xiaodong became even more excited, even starting to admire Ye Chenfeng. His previous disdain for Ye Chenfeng’s weakness had evaporated completely.

Cao Xiaodong had a straightforward personality and admired strong individuals, and in his eyes, Ye Chenfeng reaching the Earth God Realm at thirty was undoubtedly a strongman.

Cao Yunwei also gradually recovered completely, saying to Ye Chenfeng, "Thank you, it’s unexpected that your cultivation is in the Earth God Realm."

Cao Xiaodong kept observing his sister and Ye Chenfeng, saying, "Sis, didn’t you always like heroes? I think Brother Ye is a hero! With his Earth God Realm cultivation, he’s bound to recover his meridians."

Getting said this way by Cao Xiaodong, Cao Yunwei’s face flushed slightly, she shot her brother a glance, saying, "Xiaodong, what nonsense are you spewing? Do you want a beating?"

Cao Xiaodong swiftly hid behind Ye Chenfeng, having learned that Ye Chenfeng wasn’t weak and was an Earth God Realm strongman, Cao Xiaodong had decided on this brother-in-law, believing his sister and Ye Chenfeng were a good match.

Just as Ye Chenfeng was about to tell Cao Xiaodong to stop fooling around.

Everyone in the junkyard wore a token made of black stone at their waist.

Suddenly, all the tokens at their waists began flashing.

Instantly, terror painted the faces of everyone in the junkyard.

Since Ye Chenfeng just arrived here, he didn’t have such an Identity Token yet.

To Ye Chenfeng’s curiosity, Cao Yunwei explained, "You must have heard about the Flame Demon Fish, right? Every once in a while, Floating Cloud City forms a team to capture the Flame Demon Fish, and we junkyard folks are regarded as bait by the cultivators in Floating Cloud City."

"It seems this time it’s a sudden decision to go after the Flame Demon Fish; otherwise, we’d have to wait five days for Floating Cloud City to assemble a team. The Floating Cloud City people are coming to pick the bait."
