The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 599 All is Ready

The air was filled with drifting rock dust, and pieces of stone kept tumbling down from the cliff face. The entire mountain cliff trembled slightly, and at such a great disturbance, the wild beasts in the mountains became agitated and restless, as if sensing a lurking danger powerful enough to endanger their lives.

As the rock dust in front of the cliff slowly dissipated, Ye Chenfeng was seen with his five fingers dug into the cliff face, dense sweat beading on his forehead. Energy fluctuations continuously spread from his body, which was only about two meters above the ground. He was mere seconds away from meeting King Yama.

Just as Ye Chenfeng was descending to four meters above the ground, the bottleneck of his Level Nine Soul Force Peak was suddenly breached, and his Soul Force smoothly entered Level Ten. The moment he stepped into Level Ten Soul Force, he fiercely circulated the Soul Force within his body and used his right hand’s five fingers to grab onto the cliff face, his fingers sinking into the stone, which timely stopped his descent.

With eyes fixed on the two meters between himself and the ground, Chenfeng swallowed hard twice, then pulled his fingers out of the cliff and safely jumped down to the ground. Feeling the fullness of the Level Ten Soul Force inside him, he was both joyous and shocked as he muttered to himself, "I was too impulsive this time, damn near went to have a drink with King Yama."

Ye Chenfeng’s breath was still uneven as he lay relaxed on the ground, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, breathing in the fresh air of the mountains. With his Soul Force now broken through to Level Ten, he finally had some confidence in confronting the Devouring Empire, the mysteries of which still lingered in his mind.

First, why does the Devouring Empire possess technology far advanced than this world?

Second, why are there Soul Force warriors within the Devouring Empire, and not just any but Level Nine and Ten experts?

After resting on the ground for about half an hour, the fluctuations of Soul Force within Ye Chenfeng began to stabilize, and his breath became even. Just as he was getting up from the ground, he saw Hei Xin, Wang Li, Li Yaguo, Qin Yi, and others rushing over to him in a hurry.

Hei Xin and the others had heard the loud noise from the mountains and were worried that something might have happened to Ye Chenfeng, which is why they hurried towards the source of the sound.

At this moment, Ye Chenfeng’s upper body clothing was completely torn, exposing numerous wounds to the air, and his pants were shattered too, leaving only a pair of blue boxers. His hair was a wild mess, and his face was covered with dust, resembling a complete savage, which utterly dumbfounded Hei Xin and the others. How had Ye Chenfeng ended up like this in just about a day’s time?

"Young Master Ye, are you alright?" Wang Li was the first to rush to Ye Chenfeng’s side and asked.

"Boss, what did you go through in the mountains?" Qin Yi eyed Ye Chenfeng up and down, his eyes filled with curious light.

"Ye Chenfeng, did your strength breakthrough?" Hei Xin obviously felt that the aura emanating from Ye Chenfeng had changed, leading him to speculate that Ye Chenfeng’s strength really had broken through.

Hearing the astonished tones of Wang Li and others, Ye Chenfeng looked down at his body and said, "Wait until I find a natural lake in the mountains to take a good bath, then I’ll explain to you."

Therefore, Hei Xin and the others followed Ye Chenfeng to find a lake. After Ye Chenfeng comfortably took his bath and sat down on the shore, he briefly recounted his experiences in the mountains. Just hearing about Ye Chenfeng’s fights with the wild beasts of the mountains was astonishing enough for Hei Xin and his companions. But when they learned that Ye Chenfeng had jumped from a cliff approximately six hundred meters high, their mouths hung open in shock, their faces completely frozen. They were unanimously convinced that Ye Chenfeng was mad, stark raving mad.

Ordinary people, even experts jumping from such a high cliff, would almost certainly die without a doubt; at least Hei Xin and those present believed that if they were to jump from such a high cliff, their only destination would be reporting to Yama’s Palace in the afterlife. Yet not only had Ye Chenfeng survived, but his strength had also increased? This was nothing short of demonic.

"Boss, just jumping off a cliff can make your strength breakthrough, aren’t you just too badass? At that rate, if you jump off cliffs every day, won’t you quickly reach the peak of the world?" Qin Yi said with a sigh.

Ye Chenfeng rolled his eyes and replied, "Qin Yi, that joke isn’t funny at all. My strength had already reached a bottleneck at the peak. This jump was just an attempt to find an opportunity for a breakthrough. Besides, I will never do such a thing again; I really almost lost my life this time."

Remembering the brief moment he had spent jumping off the cliff, Ye Chenfeng even now felt residual fear. He glanced at Hei Xin and said, "Now that I’ve really had a breakthrough in strength, we’ll head to the event hosted by the Devouring Empire tomorrow. However, we must prepare tonight. I plan to kill Fern, who’s responsible for the Devouring Empire in Country M, along with his subordinates, and hastily make their human skin masks and collect their fingerprints. We’ll pose as Fern and his group to infiltrate the event tomorrow."

Then, Ye Chenfeng looked at Li Yaguo and said, "Brother Li, it’s safer for you to stay in the mountains. We’ll find a hidden cave for you and set up traps at the entrance to defend against wild beasts. This operation is not suitable for you to join in."

Li Yaguo was the weakest among all those present, not even comparable to Qin Yi. At least Qin Yi had the strength of High Grade Yellow rank and was considered a capable expert when compared to an ordinary person.

Li Yaguo also knew that following Ye Chenfeng and the others would only be a burden on them, so he agreed to Ye Chenfeng’s suggestion.

After speaking to Li Yaguo, Ye Chenfeng’s gaze swept over Wang Li, Qin Yi, and the others: "Do any of you have any questions? This operation is very, very, very dangerous. If anyone here does not wish to join, you can opt out now."

"Boss, what are you talking about? An extra person always means extra strength. I, Qin Yi, might not have many skills, but I certainly can help you guys escape at the crucial moment." Qin Yi said with a smile, recalling how last time in the underground palace, they could leave smoothly thanks to the white pill he had invented.

Ye Chenfeng, seeing that everyone was fine with the plan, first helped Li Yaguo find a hidden cave and prepared ample food for him. He then set up many traps at the cave entrance to prevent wild animals from getting in before finally leaving the mountains.

...

The night gradually descended.

In the capital of Country M, another night of bustling life began.

As the person in charge of the Devouring Empire in Country M, Fern had his own private mansion there.

At this moment, standing in front of the window in the study of the mansion, Fern felt a sense of unease. Since Ye Chenfeng and his team had escaped last time, he immediately beefed up the mansion’s defenses, even preparing multiple secret passages for escape. He would be able to flee at a moment’s notice should there be any disturbance.

Yesterday, Fern learned that the King had deployed the Shadow. In the Devouring Empire, the Shadow was second to none, more formidable than even the Empire’s top four war generals. But even the Shadow had failed to capture Ye Chenfeng. Tomorrow was the day the Devouring Empire was to hold its grand celebration.

The Devouring Empire had temporarily ceased the pursuit of Ye Chenfeng and his group, planning to deal with them with full force after the grand event was over.

Fern closed the curtains, and in the moment he turned around, his pupils dilated in shock. He saw a dark figure sitting in the study’s chair. As he regained his senses and was about to shout, a silver light flew from the figure’s hand, striking Fern’s neck with deadly precision, leaving him unable to utter a word.

As the Shadow stood up from the chair and approached Fern, shock filled Fern’s face when he realized who it was. He had increased the mansion’s defenses inside and out by five times—how could Ye Chenfeng have appeared in his study without a trace?

A cold smile appeared on Ye Chenfeng’s lips as he said, "Fern, weren’t you supposed to thank me for helping you become the head of the Devouring Empire in Country M? Your death will be the best thanks you can give me."

Fern’s breathing grew more and more rapid until he couldn’t catch his breath anymore, his eyes widened in terror as his body slowly fell to the ground.

In his dying moment, Fern was filled with immense regret for provoking Ye Chenfeng time and again back in the underground palace.

After Ye Chenfeng’s Soul Force had risen to Level Nine, he found that his Turtle Breathing Technique had also reached a new height. Now, he was able to use it while in motion, practically blending into the air, so sneaking undetected into Fern’s mansion was extremely easy.

After killing Fern, Ye Chenfeng methodically cleared the villa of defenses. Except for the four guards at the door, everyone else had been sent off to report at Yama’s Palace. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Having cleaned out Fern’s villa, Ye Chenfeng then called Hei Xin to signal that everything was taken care of, then immediately turned off his phone.

After receiving Ye Chenfeng’s call, Hei Xin and his group, carrying the tools to make Human Skin Masks and collect fingerprints, quietly infiltrated the villa.

Ye Chenfeng didn’t kill the four guards at the entrance because he didn’t want to startle the enemy too soon. If they were discovered, their plan would fail. The villa was already thoroughly cleaned, which was sufficient.

With Hei Xin and others starting to make Human Skin Masks and collect fingerprints,

Ye Chenfeng and his team were ready.

All was set for tomorrow when they would enter the Devouring Empire’s grand celebration venue and cause complete turmoil, eradicating the Devouring Empire from this world once and for all.
