Translator: 549690339
A deep hum echoed throughout the heavens and earth, and all faces were filled with horror as they looked at Yang Zhen in the midst of the raging qi waves. On his body, an incredible substance-like blood energy erupted.
The brutal attacks of three Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses fell on Yang Zhen, but were all held off by the intense blood energy.
A phantom, dragon-elephant-like form began to coalesce behind Yang Zhen, carrying a sobering murderous aura.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Yang Zhen suddenly raised his head, a playful smile across his face. In his dark-as-ink eyes, a blood light flashed. He erupted in laughter and jerked both his hands upward.
Boom!
A ball of blood light exploded from Yang Zhen’s body, as if a blood sun, it radiated a mysterious light capable of annihilating the world from Yang Zhen’s body. Enormous qi waves soared into the sky, causing the heavens and earth to shake.
“Has Yang Zhen gone mad, daring to challenge three at once? They’re three
Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses… Damn, impossible!”
“This… I must be blinded. Did Yang Zhen really withstand it?”
”666, Damn, 666, smash those three old weirdos to death!”
The wicked cat jumped around excitedly, watching Yang Zhen intently. Seeing Yang Zhen withstand it, it stopped running and looked on with a thrilled expression.
Yang Zhen broke through the cluster of qi waves with a single punch, displaying terrifying speed, quick as lightning, trailing a wave of blood energy, and charged at the weakest, Patriarch Wang.
All present were stunned. Hearing Yang Zhen brazenly challenge three people at once, everyone thought him mad. Who would’ve thought Yang Zhen could actually withstand one blow from three Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses, but not only did he not retreat, he charged at Patriarch Wang.
However, Patriarch Wang was, after all, a Void Cultivation Stage powerhouse Seeing Yang Zhen rushing towards him, he snorted coldly. His long sword abruptly emitted a terrifying light, glimmering gold, transforming into countless sword lights, and rushed towards Wang Chen.
Thousand-moving Flame Sword!
A few people exclaimed, recognizing Patriarch Wang’s famed skill. No enemy had ever survived under this sword technique.
Even Elder Qu and Elder Tie were shocked, exchanging amazed looks at Patriarch Wang. Clearly, they hadn’t expected Patriarch Wang to resort to this move. It was evident how much hatred he had for Yang Zhen.
“Oh, this one’s a bit interesting. You better be careful, kid!”
The wicked cat lay next to Hua Youyue, speaking lazily as he pulled a big cucumber out from nowhere and started munching on it.
Hua Youyue looked worriedly at Yang Zhen, asking the cat at her feet, “Can’t you… can’t you help Yang Zhen?”
The wicked cat shrank his neck back and said with wide eyes, “Are you kidding? That’s three Void Cultivation Stage guys! If 1 step in, won’t I be throwing away my life? Oh yeah, I have some stuff to do, got to go.”
Seeing Yang Zhen’s serious face, the wicked cat ran off with a smirk, muttering as it ran, “Those old coots are quite a handful. Without something up his sleeve, even if the kid manages to kill two, it would be hard to escape death. I better run!”
Fierce sword energy was everywhere in midair, rushing toward Yang Zhen like a mighty onslaught. Elder Qu and Elder Tie sneered at each other, all prepared to beat the drowning dog.
Once Yang Zhen was injured under the Thousand-moving Flame Sword and fell, he would face a fatal blow from the two.
While the two were sure of their victory, they were equally surprised. Although Yang Zhen had just received the inheritance of the Dust Blood Great Sage, he was still only a Nascent Soul Stage Practitioner. No matter how great his talent, it was impossible for him to immediately integrate the inheritance.
But Yang Zhen was actually able to persist to this point under the attacks of three Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses with such cultivation; it was absolutely unimaginable.
As Elder Qu and Elder Tie were exchanging glances of surprise, another change occurred on the field.
In mid-air, Yang Zhen suddenly let out a cold chuckle. His body abruptly burst forth with a vast blood wave, and he swung out a punch. Incredibly, blood light formed on his fist, creating a giant light ring. Like a drill, it charged towards the incoming deluge of sword energy.
Seeking death!” Patriarch Wang snorted coldly, spinning his long sword countless sword lights in the sky suddenly grew brighter, and collided with Yang Zhen’s fist.
Rumble!
Earth-shattering booms echoed as an endless wave of air blew everyone staggering backward. The spot where the two stood suddenly exploded, emitting dazzling lights that radiated in all directions.
Amidst the ground shaking and the rocks flying, through the dust and debris a silhouette somersaulted in the air to land on the ground, skidding several feet away, leaving a trench in the earth.
“Who is it?”
Everyone was astonished, turning their gaze to the figure. Seeing Yang Zhen staggering to his feet, they fell silent in unison.
Indeed, it’s not working. Yang Zhen’s level is too low. How could a Nascent
Soul Stage cultivator be compared with a Void Cultivation Stage one?”
Elder Qu and Elder Tie laughed heartily. Looking at the battered Yang Zhen, they snorted in unison and said, “Overestimate your capabilities!”
Hua Youyue was startled. At this moment, Yang Zhen’s clothes were tattered.
His mouth was blood-stained, his face pale, both hands holding onto his knees as he gasped for breath. Noticeably, his right hand was trembling.
A silence fell among the crowd, their shocked eyes affixed on Yang Zhen. The fact that he was not killed immediately after a head-to-head clash was already beyond most people’s expectations.
Many knew of Yang Zhen’s strength, even on par with practitioners of higher stages, but no one had ever thought Yang Zhen would not be killed by a direct hit from a Void Cultivation Stage practitioner.
In such a situation, people no longer paid attention to Yang Zhen. His haggard state already said it all.
Defeated!
Yang Zhen was utterly defeated!
Dust gradually settled, revealing the proud figure of Patriarch Wang. His robe was flapping, and his beard was flying. He looked like a true example of a righteous and venerable Taoist.
Indeed, the power of the Flame Thousand Move Sword exceeded everyone’s imagination once again.
Gleams filled the eyes of Elder Qu and Elder Tie as they laughed heartily, “Patriarch Wang’s charm is undiminished. Now, it’s our turn to teach Yang Zhen a lesson. Patriarch Wang, please take a break.”
A shock hit the crowd. They didn’t anticipate that in such a situation, Elder Qu and Elder Tie would still consider taking action. They all looked at Yang Zhen with peculiar expressions.
Patriarch Wang, upon hearing Elder Qu’s words, unexpectedly stepped backward and fell to the ground.
A dull thud came from the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. Everyone gasped, completely flabbergasted, clueless about what just had happened.
Elder Qu looked at Patriarch Wang with a strange expression.
The crowd exchanged glances, puzzled. You just needed to take a break, why would you fall to the ground with such finality?
Such a lack of decorum for a formidable Void Cultivation Stage practitioner!
The next moment, Elder Qu’s face dramatically changed. In the blink of an eye, he was by Patriarch Wang’s side, his countenance revealing utter shock. He screamed, “No, this can’t be possible!”
Yang Zhen drew a deep breath, slowly straightened up, and moved his hands and legs, especially his numbed and painful right arm. He smiled at Elder Qu and said, “Alright, only you two are left now. Will you come at me one by one or both at once?”
Upon hearing this, a tumult broke out among the crowd. All eyes turned to Patriarch Wang and Elder Qu, their wide-open eyes screamed in disbelief, “Oh My God! What just happened?”</p
