76: Chapter 76 The boss is not Chen Shuangfei

What sharp eyesight!

He must be a great talent for Alchemy!

The City Lord of Dan City felt a surge of delight at discovering such exceptional talent.

However, this good mood was quickly shattered.

"Whoosh!"

A pitch-black long sword, radiating intense malevolence, tore through the air, aiming straight for Chen Xuanfeng's Pill Furnace.

Chen Xuanfeng's eyes lit up.

Mother!

"Whoosh!"

Almost instinctively, he dropped the spiritual materials in his hand and pointed his finger like a sword.

The Qingmang Sword, which he had placed on the ground, suddenly unsheathed and blocked the path before Chen Xuanfeng's Pill Furnace.

"Clang!"

The sound of the magical swords colliding reverberated through the heavens.

The shockwave from the collision agitated the airflow, causing Chen Xuanfeng's wide robe to billow and his hair to fly, creating a picture of dashing, unrestrained elegance!

Chen Xuanfeng had practically carved the pose into his very bones.

But everyone else suffered.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Within the Formation, on the plaza, sounds of exploding furnaces erupted one after another.

Starting from one person's furnace exploding, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction, and furnaces began exploding sequentially nearby.

In just a few breaths of time, more than half of the Alchemists had their furnaces explode.

The Alchemists were covered in soot, but they dared not voice their anger towards the mother and son who were the instigators.

"Wait! Why didn't the City Lord's grandson's Pill Furnace explode?"

After a careful observer pointed it out, the others finally noticed something strange.

Chen Xuanfeng was directly attacked, so how could he be fine?

Looking closely, everyone was stunned.

Beside Chen Xuanfeng, a youth appearing to be sixteen or seventeen years old had a solemn expression, constantly forming hand seals, taking over from Chen Xuanfeng to throw spiritual materials into the Pill Furnace for refinement.

"How is this possible? Switching people midway and it hasn't exploded? Unheard of!"

The Alchemists whose furnaces had exploded whispered in disbelief.

Chen Shuangfei also narrowed her eyes, a cold sneer curling at the corner of her mouth.

She didn't expect someone to be so bold, knowing her intentions, yet daring to help in front of her...

Chen Shuangfei stared fixedly at Ye Fan's face, and her smile froze.

Luo Yunkai sighed softly, slowly standing up and walking out of the seating area.

Others looked at Luo Yunkai's movement strangely.

Is this guy tired of living?

Rushing up at a time like this?

Luo Yunkai stopped in front of Ye Fan, blocking Chen Shuangfei's sharp and imposing gaze.

The moment Chen Shuangfei's gaze met Luo Yunkai's, a flicker of panic rose in her eyes, making people suspicious.

But it was a look Luo Yunkai was familiar with.

The Chen Shuangfei he was familiar with always carried that look of flustered helplessness.

However...

Back then, you were afraid I would leave, afraid your body would fail, afraid your enemies would find you...

Now...

"What are you panicking about now?"

Shuangshuang?

Chen Shuangfei looked up almost in terror, glancing towards the sky where her father was.

Just one look, and her heart trembled violently.

He was gone!

"No!"

Chen Shuangfei's cry was mournful, like a wild goose that had lost its mate, and she also lost all her means and strength as a Cultivator.

She fell straight down from mid-air, reaching out a hand towards Luo Yunkai, her eyes filled with despair.

Luo Yunkai's heart jolted.

Damn, misjudged!

The boss wasn't Chen Shuangfei, it was the damned City Lord of Dan City!

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately activated all the defensive Magical Artifacts he was wearing.

Then, ignoring the power that was rapidly approaching behind him, carrying the might to destroy heaven and earth, he lunged towards Chen Shuangfei.

The attack from behind instantly stalled, then immediately became infused with terrifying rage.

Luo Yunkai leaped up to catch the falling Chen Shuangfei, holding her tightly in his embrace, continuously stacking defensive talismans on her.

That world-destroying attack ultimately did not land.

The City Lord of Dan City stood behind Luo Yunkai with a complex expression, watching Luo Yunkai's action of stacking defensive talismans without awareness, and let out a cold snort.

"This City Lord will not harm his own daughter. Let go!"

Luo Yunkai's movements paused.

He seemed to realize belatedly that he was the most dangerous one, and quickly tried to move away from Chen Shuangfei.

Chen Shuangfei clung tightly to Luo Yunkai's waist.

"Don't go! He will kill you!"

Luo Yunkai stiffened.

Shuangshuang, if you act a bit more, your father might actually want to tear me limb from limb!

Swallowing nervously, Luo Yunkai tried to push her away slightly.

He couldn't continue to provoke a doting father any further.

But Chen Shuangfei was unwilling to loosen her grip in the slightest.

Her Late Golden Core Stage strength also made it impossible for Luo Yunkai to resist.

Luo Yunkai felt like crying but had no tears.

He could feel the City Lord of Dan City behind him stirring restlessly.

He was about to lose control.

Chen Xuanfeng flew over with his sword, blocking behind Luo Yunkai.

"Grandfather..."

"Xuanfeng!"

"Get lost!"

Chen Shuangfei's startled cry and the City Lord of Dan City's "Get lost!" sounded almost simultaneously.

Chen Xuanfeng was swept away by a sleeve, overturning several Pill Furnaces in the distance before finally stopping.

Luo Yunkai felt a toothache.

Damn it!

Look at thistacit agreement (tacit understanding) father and daughter pair.

He finally understood why Chen Shuangfei had always acted like she detested their son.

The City Lord of Dan City walked step by step towards Luo Yunkai.

Xiao Tian and Su Xin tried to rush forward, but they were flung away before they could even get close.

Luo Yunkai was sweating profusely.

A bunch of reckless brats.

You Nascent Soul Cultivators, why are you rushing in!

Can't you see your father is holding the life-saving talisman!

"Senior! Whatever it is, direct it at me! I am willing to die to atone for my sins! Please stop harming the innocent!"

Luo Yunkai put on an expression of facing death without flinching.

In reality, he was cursing inwardly.

Chen Shuangfei, be a little smarter!

Understand my hint!

Fortunately, Luo Yunkai's prayer was effective.

But not much!

Chen Shuangfei pushed Luo Yunkai away with a shove and stood up, spreading her arms to shield him.

"He did nothing wrong! What wrong did he commit? Is saving me a mistake? Should I have died back in the Yunyin Forest?"

The City Lord of Dan City stared at Luo Yunkai sinisterly, "He shouldn't have taken advantage of your weakness to bully you, causing you to lose your primordial purity early and making your Nascent Soul cultivation difficult."

Chen Shuangfei gave a wry smile.

She knew that arguing logic was now useless.

"Father, if you want to kill him, kill me first!"

Luo Yunkai felt a vast pressure bearing down on him.

He could even hear the sound of his flesh and bones deforming under the pressure.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Chen Shuangfei's pupils constricted sharply, and she turned back to try and save Luo Yunkai, but she was forcefully dragged away by a gentle yet domineering spiritual power.

"Yunkai!"

Luo Yunkai's veins bulged.

Stupid woman! Now you know to call out, so why did you let go!

And where are the Market Guards!

If they don't show up soon, I'll have to call out myself!

I didn't want to completely tear face with the City Lord of Dan City!

But compared to my life, my life is more important!

"Cough, cough, City Lord Chen."

Beside the City Lord of Dan City, a silver-armored youth suddenly appeared.

The youth's hand, clad in silver gauntlets, rested on the shoulder of the City Lord of Dan City.

Instantly, the oppressive force that had almost suffocated Luo Yunkai vanished.

The spiritual power restraining Chen Shuangfei also dissipated.

Chen Shuangfei immediately flew into Luo Yunkai's arms, hugging him tightly.

Luo Yunkai looked up at the sky speechlessly.

Didn't die by your crazy father's hand, but now I'm going to die by yours!

"Shuangshuang..."

Luo Yunkai painfully squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.

Chen Shuangfei hugged him even tighter.

The Youth in Armor couldn't help but suspect that this father and daughter actually both wanted to kill Luo Yunkai.

"Let... let go..."

Chen Shuangfei shook her head, "I won't let go even if I die! Just let my father kill me too! Let's die together!"

Luo Yunkai: "..." Actually, I don't want to die that much either.

Fortunately, his son was reliable!

Ye Fan quickly came over to support him.

Rich Wood Qi flowed into Luo Yunkai's body through the points of contact, and his injuries healed rapidly.

The City Lord of Dan City narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling upon Ye Fan's hand.

Wood Spirit...
