“Medicine Madman?” Yang Zhen said, feeling a chill down his spine, “How is that possible? It’s been three thousand years. Even if the Medicine Madman is still there, he must have turned into a pile of dry bones by now. I’m easily frightened, don’t scare me.”
If the Medicine Madman really jumped out from the Blood-Red Swamp, Yang Zhen would definitely counter with the Great Missing Sword. It would be too damn scary.
Everyone cautiously made their way towards the Blood-Red Swamp. Although the place was quite expansive, it was fraught with danger. Even a bronze tree could have some ancient thing jump out from it, who knew what else might come out from the ground?
Since Yang Zhen clearly remembered the way back, he guided the group quite smoothly this time. Although they couldn’t use their True Essence and their pace was slow, they managed to reach the edge of the Blood-Red Swamp.
The endless swamp would sporadically emit blood-red miasma, bubbling up strangely. Not the entire swamp was filled with water, but where there was water, it was a blood-red color that sent shivers down one’s spine.
At that moment, Yang Zhen suddenly motioned to Mo Xueling who was by his side, winking at her.
Mo Xueling was taken aback, blushing, she turned her head away ignoring Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen was at a loss, he turned to look at the Cheap Cat, winking again.
“Damn, is something in your eye twitching?” Cheap Cat looked at Yang Zhen curiously.
Yang Zhen was furious, he kicked Cheap Cat away and winked at Hua Youyue.
Hua Youyue’s expression was stagnant, she gently nodded her head and gradually distanced herself from Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen felt relieved, the understanding with the young girl was indeed there. The most exaggerated was Mo Xueling, her face turned red. What the hell?
“Damn it, you dare to kick me! Come here if you dare, I will smack you until even your little girl can’t recognize you.” Cheap Cat was furious and charged towards Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen glared fiercely, ‘TH smack you dead, believe it or not!”
Boom !
Yang Zhen forcefully smacked the Great Missing Sword towards Cheap Cat, creating a strong gust of wind. Scared, Cheap Cat meowed and turned to run.
But halfway, the Great Missing Sword suddenly turned and smacked the empty air beside them.
Clang !
A sound like the collision of golden weapons echoed, a phantom figure staggered back, letting out a strange laughing sound.
Cheap cat stared, looking surprised at the phantom figure, “What the hell is that?”
Yang Zhen hoisted the Great Missing Sword onto his shoulder and said, “Hiding and not acting normal, it’s either a pervert or a peeping Tom, what good can come from that?”
A deep chuckle sounded, “As expected of Yang Zhen, your perception is sharp.” More than twenty shadows appeared in the air around the group, all of them with particularly gloomy expressions. Especially the one who spoke, he had a pale face and surprisingly pointed ears!
Yang Zhen’s eyes went wide, he pointed at the pale man in black clothes, and said to the Cheap Cat with a confused look, “Damn, a goblin?”
“What’s a goblin?” Cheap Cat curled his lip, “This is clearly a rabbit!”
The pale-faced, pointed-eared man in black clothes twitched his mouth, looking at Yang Zhen coldly.
Mo Xueling gasped, unsheathed her sword, and pointed at the man in black, asking, “Shanggeng Secret Clan?”
Upon hearing Mo Xueling’s exclamation, Yang Zhen and Cheap Cat looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.
The Shanggeng Secret Clan leader, upon hearing a sweet, young girl correctly identify them, was just about to display his superior and disdainful posture when he was left stupefied by the laughter of Yang Zhen and Cheap Cat. He stared at Yang Zhen with a furious look and shouted, “Yang Zhen what are you laughing at?”
Yang Zhen waved his hand, panting as he said, “Sorry, I just thought of Palace Master Liu’s expression and couldn’t help it. Damn Cat, what are you laughing at?”
Cheap Cat was taken aback, “You were laughing, shouldn’t I have joined in?” Yang Zhen thought for a moment and said seriously, “Absolutely!” No wonder Palace Master Liu had such a peculiar look when speaking of the Shanggeng Secret Clan. She said that Yang Zhen would understand everything at a glance. It turned out these folk are like pale-faced goblins, yet they behaved like elves with pretentious attitudes.
Yang Zhen had thought about treating them like elves. Although their ears were pointed, their appearances were far from praiseworthy. It was already generous of him not to view them as slimes, which were at least green and grand compared to these guys, who looked hideously pale and ugly!
Apparently, this Shanggeng Secret Clan was known for their peculiar characters. They found fault with everyone, and fought with everyone during the Shanggeng era, nearly annihilating themselves. Surprisingly, they managed to survive and thrive after the great disaster.
Observing that Yang Zhen was treating them as invisible, the leader of the Shanggeng Secret Clan turned green with anger, true green, his face turned green entirely. He pointed at Yang Zhen, “Yang Zhen, we thought you were someone unique and special, who follows his own path just like us. But you do not appreciate our high regard. Don’t blame us for being ruthless.”
Yang Zhen smirked. This group of people sneaked in with suspicious intents. They surely didn’t come to make friends with him, right?
Picking a fight at the drop of a hat was Yang Zhen’s style. Without waiting for the leader to finish speaking, he charged forward with the Great Missing Sword, causing an earth-shattering uproar, which shocked the Shanggeng Secret Clan.
“Attack!”
With a cold snort, the leader’s body suddenly disappeared.
Yang Zhen was taken aback. He turned around and said to Hua Youyue and others, “Ladies, be careful. Don’t wander too far from me. These guys are as tricky as eels!”
Indeed, this Shanggeng Secret Clan, whom even Palace Master Liu was extremely wary of, could vanish without using their True Essence, which was absolutely terrifying.
Hua Youyue and others’ faces changed. Mo Xueling also realized that when Yang Zhen had winked at her, it wasn’t an attempt to flirt, but a signal indicating the presence of someone nearby!
“You’d better take care of yourself first!”
A menacing voice came from Yang Zhen’s side, and amidst the flux of breath, a bizarre cold light rushed toward Yang Zhen.
“Unable to use True Essence, here we Shanggeng Secret Clan rule. You human practitioners are too weak…”
“Excuse me?”
Yang Zhen turned around. The Great Missing Sword he carried on his shoulder patted the leader with a smack and flung him out. The leader rolled a good distance on the ground, shivered for a while before getting up.
“No, there’s something strange about your weapon!”
The leader looked at the Great Missing Sword in Yang Zhen’s hand, a mix of terror and suspicion on his face.
Yang Zhen’s eyes sparkled, and he murmured, “Damn, I’m screwed, this Great Missing Sword is strangely poised!”
Seeing the leader’s changing expression, Yang Zhen burst into laughter. Dragging the Great Missing Sword, he trudged toward the leader, “Come on, big brother, let me do it one more time!”
“You wish!”
“Don’t be so stingy, man. I’ll just rub against you, won’t go in!” “You still want to stab me with a sword?” The leader’s face changed dramatically as he attempted to vanish.
Mo Xueling and Hua Youyue battled with another group of elusive Shanggeng Secret Clan members. Seeing the troublesome situation, their faces turned pale.
The Shanggeng Secret Clan indeed was extremely tricky to deal with. Their movements were unpredictable, their attack angles cunning, and they were as elusive as ghosts.
Without being able to utilize their True Essence, it was difficult to defeat these creatures.
Mo Xueling and Hua Youyue glanced at each other, and both looked at Yang Zhen, who was dragging the Great Missing Sword and pantingly chasing the leader of the Shanggeng Secret Clan.
Mo Xueling:
Hua Youyue:
The naughty cat exclaimed from the side, “Bravo, this Great Missing Sword is outstanding!”
