Chapter 519: Chapter 525: Men Should Fight, Women Should Not Intervene! (First Update)
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, not just everyone, even Ye Lingyin was slightly taken aback, and unceremoniously responded, “You can’t.”
Immediately, Yang Zhen was displeased and turned to look at Ye Lingyin saying, “You don’t know until you try, how can you say this Sao Saint can’t do it? Step aside, when men fight, women shouldn’t interfere.”
By then, Yang Zhen was almost certain that Ye Lingyin had regained some of her consciousness, whether after dying and regrowing her consciousness using her Yin Slave’s attributes or finding a way to regain her previous consciousness even in her Yin Slave’s state. As far as Yang Zhen was concerned, if either the Yin Slave or Black Puppet could regain consciousness, he would be quite satisfied.
This way, at least there could be some negotiation, it would not be a one against two situation.
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, a flicker of confusion passed through Ye Lingyin’s eyes. She shook her head and slowly retreated to the side.
Facing the terrifying force erupting from the Black Puppet, Yang Zhen did indeed feel a hint of nervousness.
Mainly because this was the first time Yang Zhen had faced such a powerful being, he didn’t know how to react.
Should he charge in with his fierce demeanor, throwing punches without backing down, or should he try his best to act flattering to please this thing that didn’t have a shred of consciousness?
Damn it, he indeed had a bit of a choice paralysis syndrome!
When faced with difficult decisions, Yang Zhen’s consistent approach was to blunder on, so within a second, he had made his decision.
Fight it!
Boom—!
Under Ye Lingyin’s puzzled gaze, an overwhelming force suddenly erupted from Yang Zhen. The Fifth Dragon Elephant roared thunderously, coalescing in mid-air into a mighty dragon, rampaging wildly, its terrifying energy wave shooting into the sky.
“A dragon, it’s a dragon!”
Everyone watched with horror-struck faces at the phantom coalescing in mid-air, looking at Yang Zhen with disbelief.
The powerhouse of the Circulation Phase, Yang Zhen watched the charging Black Puppet, his eyes flashing with an eager light.
Although this Black Puppet had fallen to the Divine Transformation Stage, its power was immense. So far, Yang Zhen had never faced such a terrifying powerhouse.
Exciting!
Boom—!
The terrifying energies of the two collided. Yang Zhen’s whole body exploded with power, emitting sounds that made everyone’s colors change with fear, as the air in mid-air exploded with a great rumble.
Their fists collided, causing a circle of destructive light to burst out, surging out in all directions.
This terrifying attack forced even Ye Lingyin to fend off the shockwave with a wave of her hand.
The others were even more dumbfounded, their eyes wide and tongues tied as they watched the incredible scene unfold before their eyes.
Did Yang Zhen just take a blow from the Black Puppet at the Divine Transformation Stage with just his strength?
How the hell is that possible?
The next moment, Yang Zhen’s figure, like a cannonball, plummeted, crashing directly into the earth below.
An earth-shattering loud noise echoed, the ground trembled, dirt waves rolled. A huge pit appeared before everyone. The land was uneven; massive crevices radiated outward, turning the whole ground into a cobweb of cracks.
Seeing this, everyone’s hearts missed a beat.
In face of this collision of power, not even a practitioner at the Tribulation Crossing Period, not to mention at the Mahayana Phase, would have turned instantly into a heap of mud.
“It’s over, Yang Zhen is really dead this time!”
“This…Yang Zhen, that overconfident bastard has been too wilful. How can a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage dare to fight head-on with a strong being from the Divine Transformation Stage? Isn’t he seeking his own death?”
“Should he die, what are we to do?”
A group of people gawked at the two powerhouses of the Divine Transformation Stage who stood mid-air, their eyes wide with surprise. They were all at a loss, unsure how to react.
Run?
In such a situation, it would be odd if they could actually escape.
If they did not run, should they just stand there waiting for the two powerhouses of the Divine Transformation Stage to kill them?
For a moment, everyone was in a dilemma, unable to stay or flee, their expressions varied, and all they could do was to look at each other in confusion.
Elder Qian sighed deeply and shook his head, “Yang Zhen is straightforward and audacious and has a kind heart. Although I am unsure of what he has encountered in the Sealed Land or what he has seen, he has managed to prevent a conflict between two hapless individuals using his cultivation from the Tribulation Crossing Stage. This is enough to earn my admiration.”
“But Elder Qian, what good will saying this do? Even if Yang Zhen is kind, can that exchange for his life? This can only be described as ‘The good dying young.’”
“What a pity. Thinking about it now, Yang Zhen’s audacious personality is much better than those hypocrites. Now, the world has lost an open-minded and free-spirited individual!”
“Yes, it’s a pity. I think it is such a waste for Yang Zhen. If he could survive and lead us safely out of the Sealed Land, so what if he tricks us once again? Dealing with someone like him is much better than dealing with those calculating and cunning people.”
“Indeed, Yang Zhen, please survive. We…we are willing to be tricked by you!”
Everyone was expressing their regrets. Since Yang Zhen had died, they would not pretend to be sympathetic. Yang Zhen had tried his best to prevent the self-destruction of two unfortunate Undying Clan individuals, and this effort had already changed people’s impression of him!
All were regretting. Nobody noticed Yang Zhen, covered in dust, struggling to get up from a huge pit, mumbling to himself:
“Oh no, this…this was a loss. I don’t know whether I can get Ye Lingyin’s inheritance after such a fierce battle!”
That was right, everything Yang Zhen did was just to seek Ye Lingyin’s inheritance. Of course, it would be better if he could prevent the two people from self-destruction; Yang Zhen’s heart was still soft, as soft as a maiden’s bosom.
Having witnessed Ye Lingyin willingly turn herself into a Yin slave, Yang Zhen knew that her biggest regret was not being able to pass on her secret technique. Yang Zhen did not know who she was looking for but decided to prevent the two from self-destruction first.
Fortunately, Ye Lingyin was now slowly regaining her consciousness. Otherwise, Yang Zhen’s efforts would have been in vain.
At the edge of the pit, a group of people was whispering about something. When Yang Zhen, covered in dust, climbed out of the pit, and heard their words, he was so stupefied that his face froze.
Damn, when did I, the Sao Saint, become a brave and righteous hero with compassion for humanity?
Nevertheless, it does sound quite good!
As for the group of people who saw Yang Zhen crawl out alive, their eyes widened in disbelief, their faces showing shock as if they had seen a ghost, and they all became petrified.
Can it be that under such circumstances, he wouldn’t die? Could it be…could it be that he is from the Undying Clan?
While everyone was stunned, Yang Zhen slowly stood up. He looked straight and grand, radiating an aura of righteousness. He sighed towards the Yin Slave and the Black Kui in mid-air and said with utmost sorrow,
“Boiling beans on a beanstalk fire… Damn, I forgot, you two are both from the Undying Clan, born from the same roots, why have you forgotten your comradeship and fought against each other? Black demon, have you forgotten that one of your kinsmen named Ye Lingyin, would rather sever her spirit soul and become a Yin slave in chaos for eternity, than to let a beast carry her mark, so that she could one day exact her revenge on her clan’s annihilation?”
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, everyone was astonished.
This time, not only Ye Lingyin but even the Black Kui trembled all over, struggling against something in its bloodshot eyes.
Treasure Cat’s eyes widened in surprise while he looked at Yang Zhen in confusion, murmuring to himself, “Damn, this pretentious act…this kid must have some secret aim.”
“Ye Lingyin, have you forgotten that you have an unfulfilled wish, which is to pass on the secret technique that you possess?”
