Chapter 552: Chapter 559: What? What Did You Just Say? (First Update)
“Kid, have you offended someone in Mountain and River City?” the cheap cat asked with a sinister grin.
He was targeted before even entering the city, being called out by name. Yang Zhen was so bewildered that he couldn’t answer the cat’s question.
“Damn it, this Sao Saint has offended a lot of people. Look, I’ve just offended the people at city gate. I have no idea if I’ve pissed anyone off in Mountain and River City.”
Yang Zhen grumbled, a herd of alpacas racing through his mind.
“Someone’s forcing their way into the city!”
The news spread through Mountain and River City like a spreading wildfire. In no time, people from various parts were crowding the streets, their necks stretched towards the city gate tower.
Yang Zhen and the cheap cat were strutting down the street, popping into stores from time to time, only to come out disappointed.
Not long after, a fully-armed practitioner blocked Yang Zhen’s path, all of them fiercely staring, ready to strike.
The onlooking crowd was taken aback, looking at the city guards with a terrorizing aura, their eyes flashing with fear.
“It’s the Dragon City Guard! I didn’t expect even the Dragon City Guard have been mobilized. Who on earth is this person, causing such a stir?”
“Him? You don’t know him? His name is Yang Zhen. A few days ago, he ended up on the Mountain and River City’s most unwanted list for unknown reasons. and now he has the audacity to force his way in. With the Dragon City Guard here, his fate is sealed.”
“The most unwanted list?”
The crowd exclaimed, looking at Yang Zhen with astonishment, their discussions incessant. “The Mountain and River City’s most unwanted list hasn’t been updated for a long time, hasn’t it? Who the hell is this Yang Zhen that the whole city is against him?”
“I have no idea, Never heard of the name Yang Zhen in Mountain and River City.”
“Yang Zhen?”
At that moment, someone suddenly exclaimed in horror. “I remember now! Yang Zhen. He is the one who lured Miss Feng deep into the Mountain and River Ruins.”
“What? It’s him? That bastard has the guts to come back to Mountain and River City?”
The crowds all glared at Yang Zhen, who was totally confused. Looking at the cheap cat, he asked, “Does my face bear the word ‘old king’?”
“Not at all. Who’s this old king?” The cheap cat, too, was utterly confusion upon hearing this, adding to his bewilderment.
Yang Zhen waved his hand dismissively. If his face didn’t bear the words ‘old king’, why were this crowd whispering and murmuring, looking as if someone had slept with their wives?
“Brother…”
“Humph!”
“Damn, this brother is quite aloof!”
Yang Zhen, gaping at the young practitioner who had ignored him, turned his gaze back to the Dragon City Guard. Smiling, he asked, “Is there anyone in charge here?”
“Kill on sight!”
Boom!
A synchronized roar echoed. Hundreds of Dragon City Guards at the Tribulation Crossing Period simultaneously released terrifying True Essence fluctuations, causing a dreadful atmosphere that filled the air.
Yang Zhen sucked in a breath, murmuring to himself, “As I expected, these guys must have a combined strike technique that can connect their auras.”
What annoyed Yang Zhen was these guys were outrageously violent, as if people named Yang Zhen had stolen their chickens.
Seeing hundreds of Dragon City Guards releasing a terrifying airwave, under the sky-covering shadow, Yang Zhen was having a hard time to catch a breath. Angry, he snapped at the group of people:
“Damn it, you really think this Sao Saint is easy to mess with, huh? I’ll give you three breaths time. If no one who can understand human language appears, you all will die in a muddle here!”
“One!”
“Two!”
“Three!”
Boom!
Yang Zhen suddenly erupted with a surge of energy, causing the green stone slabs under his feet to crack. Centered on Yang Zhen, the wave of power thundered outward in all directions.
Seeing Yang Zhen actually dared to make a move, everyone was shocked.
“Crazy, Yang Zhen isn’t unworthy of his reputation, the man who even dared to deceive Miss Feng. He actually started the fight.”
“Yang Zhen is doomed this time. It’s hard to believe Miss Feng didn’t come back from the Mountain and River Ruins, and the damn Yang Zhen walked out alive.”
“It’s horrifying. The terrifying energy coming from the direction of the Mountain and River Ruins seemed to destroy everything. I heard that everyone inside there died. It’s hard to believe that Yang Zhen actually made it to the Mountain and River City.”
“What does it matter if he has come to the Mountain and River City? The bastard came alone, where’s the lady? The bastard Yang Zhen deceived Miss Feng, a person with a kind heart, and let her die in the Mountain and River Ruins!”
The streets of Mountain and River City were incredibly wide, Yang Zhen could not clearly hear the surrounding discussion. The energy around him became more intense, all were silent in fear.
The Dragon City Guards were clearly on high alert. All intently watched Yang Zhen, ready to leap into action.
“Three moments passed, don’t say the Sao Saint didn’t give you a chance. You just didn’t seize it!”
Yang Zhen, step by step, walked towards the Dragon City Guards. The heavy green stone slabs beneath his feet shattered into countless pieces. Alongside Yang Zhen, the cat was also engulfed by the wild True Essence energy, as if entering a land devoid of people.
The Dragon City Guards retreated subconsciously. Hundreds of Tribulation Crossing Period Practitioners, in the face of the terrifying power exploded by Yang Zhen, did not dare to fight.
It was too terrifying.
Just when Yang Zhen wanted to charge in and finish these people, a furious shout rang out: “Stop!”
Hearing this, everyone present gasped, except the Dragon City Guards, who inhaled deeply. It was as if under this roar, Yang Zhen’s power would suddenly drop by 90%.
A figure descended from the sky. He was dressed in white, had flying black hair, and looked like an immortal. His relaxed landing possessed a nearly perfect aesthetic.
Free from any dust, the young man in front showed a light and breezy expression. Among the eager gazes of everyone present, he stared at Yang Zhen and said once more: “Stop!”
“Stop your fucking hand!”
Yang Zhen was furious and, like a mad bull, charged at the pristine young practitioner.
“Just because you said stop, doesn’t mean I will. Take a piss and look at yourself.”
Yang Zhen was really frustrated. He had been experiencing incomprehensible things all the way here. Finally, someone he could talk to had arrived, better to fight first, talk later.
The young practitioner obviously never expected Yang Zhen to just attack like that. He did not seem to fear Yang Zhen and snorted coldly. He flung open his sleeves and a surge of energy erupted.
“Mahayana phase?”
Yang Zhen was stunned, he hadn’t expected there to be such a young Mahayana practitioner in Mountain and River City. Were these some sort of powerful beings who had cheats and unlimited money?
The young Practitioner’s eyes flashed with contempt as he pointed at Yang Zhen and said: “A mere Tribulation Crossing Period dares to be so presumptuous. You think highly of yourself. But don’t worry, I won’t let you die so easily, without tasting the extreme suffering of the world. How else can you compensate my sister for her…”
Bam!
A large fist landed on the young Practitioner’s face, sending him flying. He only stopped after crashing into a group of people.
Yang Zhen who was about to pursue him, suddenly paused: “What? What did you just say? Sister? You said Sao Saint killed your sister? Damn it, don’t wrongfully accuse Sao Saint here. Sorry to be blunt, who is your sister?”
The young Practitioner, with a perplexed look on his face, got up, touched the blood under his nose, and said with an ugly face, “You dare to hit me?”
