The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1366 - 1357 Qiankun Bell

The Grim Mountains.

Surrounding the Sword God Tomb.

When Jiang Junhua and the three loose cultivators arrived, Shui Menghan, who was sitting on the ground, stood up. Her beautiful eyes fixed on Jiang Junhua as she asked, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Junhua seemed indifferent to Shui Menghan’s questioning. His gaze remained fixed on the tombstone behind Shui Menghan. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Menghan, are you unhappy to see me here? Don’t worry, I now have the strength to protect you."

Jiang Junhua’s body subtly released an aura of Ocean Gathering Realm Second Heavenly Layer Initial Stage. This left Shui Menghan slightly stunned, as before entering the ruins, Jiang Junhua was only at Ocean Gathering Realm Second Heavenly Layer Middle Stage. Shui Menghan was yet unaware of the unique Heaven and Earth Laws within this particular relic.

Noticing the change in Shui Menghan’s expression, Jiang Junhua was very satisfied and continued, "Menghan, before leaving the relic, I am confident I can elevate my strength to Divine Thought Realm First Heavenly Layer Late Stage. I think I’ll soon become the protégé that the Shuis focus on cultivating. You and I are the most suitable pair. As my woman, you must listen to me well in the future."

With his strength rapidly increasing, Jiang Junhua’s confidence also swelled infinitely. Previously, he was just one of Shui Menghan’s many suitors, trying every day to win her favor. Yet now, he believed he was about to acquire the treasures of the Sword God Tomb and no longer needed to ingratiate himself with Shui Menghan; instead, it should be Shui Menghan who should flatter him.

Upon hearing Jiang Junhua’s arrogant words, Shui Menghan’s eyebrows furrowed deeply as she shouted, "Jiang Junhua, stop spouting nonsense here. I, Shui Menghan, will never like a man like you in my lifetime."

At these words, Jiang Junhua’s expression turned somewhat unsightly. It should be noted that three loose cultivators stood nearby, and Shui Menghan’s words made him quite embarrassed. He snorted in discontent through his nose and shifted his gaze to Ye Chenfeng, who was enveloped in a purple light. His eyes revealed a strong intent to kill, remembering how Ye Chenfeng once humiliated him to the point of embarrassment. Even in his dreams, he wanted to tear Ye Chenfeng into pieces.

"Young Master Jiang, we should focus on exploring the Sword God Tomb right now! We don’t have much time to waste," said an elderly man among the three loose cultivators, about seventy years old, whose strength reached the Peak of Ocean Gathering Realm Third Heavenly Layer, the strongest among them.

Among the other two loose cultivators, one was a young man with a scar on his nose bridge, whose strength was at Ocean Gathering Realm Third Heavenly Layer Initial Stage; the last one was a middle-aged man with a completely blind left eye, and his strength was at Ocean Gathering Realm Third Heavenly Layer Late Stage. Eagerness filled their eyes, worried that the Yinming Sect, Wanyue Pavilion, and Hanbing Sect would sense something wrong and rush over.

Jiang Junhua also understood the worries of the three loose cultivators. His finger pointed at Ye Chenfeng, who was enveloped in purple light, and he said, "After I kill this boy, we’ll immediately explore the Sword God Tomb."

He walked straight to the edge of the purple light, while Shui Menghan showed no intention of stopping him, believing that the purple light was impenetrable even by a master of the Divine Thought Realm, making Ye Chenfeng very safe for now.

"Menghan, aren’t you always protecting this boy? Why aren’t you stopping me now? I want to twist this boy’s neck in front of you," Jiang Junhua assumed Shui Menghan realized she couldn’t be his opponent, so she sensibly chose not to stop him.

"Hmph!"

The only response from Shui Menghan was a cold snort from her nose, intensifying Jiang Junhua’s displeasure. He had fancied Shui Menghan for so long, but she always ignored him. Why was she siding with Ye Chenfeng not long after meeting him?

Inner fury grew in Jiang Junhua, and he frantically mobilized the Spiritual Qi River within his meridians. Ocean Gathering Realm Second Heavenly Layer Initial Stage aura rolled over him as he fiercely slammed his Spiritual Qi-enveloped right hand towards Ye Chenfeng’s chest through the purple light, shouting: "Boy, don’t pretend in front of me anymore. Rest assured, I won’t kill you with a single slap."

With a loud "bang!"

As Jiang Junhua’s right hand attempted to penetrate the purple light, it met an invisible wall, preventing it from piercing through. His palm didn’t even cause a ripple in the purple light, turning his face slightly red. After all his boastful talking, he couldn’t even touch a hair on Ye Chenfeng — wasn’t this slapping his own face?

Looking at Ye Chenfeng, still enveloped by the purple light with his eyes closed, as if unwilling to even acknowledge him, Jiang Junhua’s anger soared. His Spiritual Qi-enveloped palms continuously slapped at the purple light.

Thud after thud resounded continuously.

About a minute later.

Jiang Junhua was slightly panting, yet unable to move the purple light at all. The elderly man at Ocean Gathering Realm Third Heavenly Layer Peak urged again, "Young Master Jiang, should we give you a hand?"

Jiang Junhua, being the grandson of the Great Elder of the Shuis, still had some tricks up his sleeve but wouldn’t use them unless necessary. Seeing that he couldn’t break the purple light, as he was about to agree to the elderly man’s suggestion —

The purple light around Ye Chenfeng rippled without warning, gradually fading until it completely disappeared, yet Ye Chenfeng stood there with eyes closed. But for his breathing, one might think he was dead!

This unexpected change took only about three seconds, catching Jiang Junhua and his companions off guard. Meanwhile, Shui Menghan’s expression tightened upon witnessing the purple light vanish, swiftly stepping in front of Ye Chenfeng.

As soon as Shui Menghan moved, Jiang Junhua reacted and coldly laughed, "Menghan, stand aside obediently. It seems fate is on my side today; this boy must die."

Shui Menghan, only at the Peak of Ocean Gathering Realm Second Heavenly Layer, knew she wasn’t a match for Jiang Junhua and the others. However, she absolutely could not abandon Ye Chenfeng. Previously, when Jiang Motian and others chased her, Ye Chenfeng stood in front of her, and now it was her turn to stand before Ye Chenfeng.

"Brother Ye, can you hear me? Brother Ye, can you hear me?" Shui Menghan called out twice, but unfortunately, Ye Chenfeng remained unresponsive, showing no signs of waking up.

Glaring fiercely at Jiang Junhua, Shui Menghan declared, "Jiang Junhua, as the granddaughter of the Family Head of the Shuis, I swear if you dare harm Brother Ye even slightly, once we leave the relic, I will have my sister personally end your life."

Upon hearing her words, Jiang Junhua’s anger flared more intensely. He chuckled and said, "Shui Menghan, since you’ve said this, there’s no need for me to pretend anymore. If you disappear with this boy, no one will hold me accountable, right?"

"Jiang Junhua, you dare?" Shui Menghan couldn’t believe Jiang Junhua would dare to have murderous thoughts against her.

"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Jiang Junhua replied confidently, exuding a fierce aura.

Realizing Jiang Junhua wasn’t joking, Shui Menghan gently bit her lip. Her storage ring flashed and an ancient-looking small bronze bell appeared in her palm.

Shui Menghan frantically injected her Spiritual Energy into the bell, causing it to rapidly grow until it matched the size of one of those temple bells.

The enlarged bell was covered with intricate runes, now hovering over Shui Menghan and Ye Chenfeng, emanating a white light that encased them.

The runes on the bell shone with golden brilliance, exuding a sense of sanctity.

Injecting Spiritual Energy into the bell left Shui Menghan pale and weak, but her face was resolute. Gritting her teeth, she said, "Jiang Junhua, I won’t let you harm Brother Ye, absolutely not."

Jiang Junhua was filled with astonishment at the growing bell, exclaiming, "Qiankun Bell? Your grandfather actually let you use a defensive Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact?"
