Chapter 612: Chapter 619 The Yin and Yang energies are not played like this! (Third update)
As Yang Zhen’s sword plummeted down, the face of the Death Shadow changed. He scoffed coldly, and a dark radiance suddenly broke out around him. A terrifying roar echoed, and behind the Death Shadow, a ferocious dual-headed beast was conjured.
Howl!
The dual-headed beast had two wolf heads. In between the sky-shaking howls, they attacked Yang Zhen’s Great Missing Sword by spewing a wave of flame and a gust of cold air.
“Yin-Yang Illusion!”
Gong Sanhe spoke in a deep voice, his eyes filled with astonishment.
“I didn’t expect that the senior Death Shadow actually formed the Yin-Yang Illusion. The existence of such an illusion is a nightmare for practitioners of the same level. This will be unfortunate for the lad.” Ding Chun looked grim, watching the Death Shadow coldly.
Wen Yuning also nodded with a serious expression and said, “If it were me, I would have no idea how to counter this attack; I could only try my best to avoid it!”
Ding Chun scoffed and said, “You might not even be able to avoid it, given the close distance between the two. Who else can be blamed if not him for… What?”
Before Ding Chun could finish his words, his eyes nearly popped out in shock.
Facing the exhale of the Yin-Yang Illusion, Yang Zhen astonishingly put away his Great Missing Sword that was as large as a door panel. Not only Gong Sanhe and the others, but even Death Shadow blankly stared at Yang Zhen.
“Seeking death!”
The Yin-Yang Illusion was formed by the energy of Yin and Yang, and those who can control both at the same time are extremely rare. The reason why the Death Shadow became a Death Servant of the shadow rank in Moluo Gate was precisely because of the Yin-Yang Illusion. Now, facing the exhale of the Yin-Yang Illusion, Yang Zhen put away his weapon, which immediately made the Death Shadow feel as if he was seeing a dead person.
“Be careful!” Gong Sanhe’s face changed and he quickly warned Yang Zhen. But Yang Zhen clearly put away his weapon on purpose, so what use was a warning at this time?
Even Ding Chun turned his head away, unable to bear to watch Yang Zhen any longer.
Although he didn’t know the specific grudges between Yang Zhen and Moluo Gate, Yang Zhen, while eccentric, was not inherently evil. Dislikes notwithstanding, Ding Chun really hadn’t expected that Yang Zhen would die right in front of him.
Amidst Wen Yuning’s exclamation, Ding Chun couldn’t help himself from turning his head back to look at Yang Zhen. Once again, his eyes nearly popped out in shock.
Yang Zhen moved. Before Death Shadow finished shouting “seeking death,” Yang Zhen rapidly drew two semi-circular True Essence waves across his chest. The Yin-Yang Illusion’s exhale, one cold and one hot, was caught and redirected by Yang Zhen.
Seeing that Yang Zhen had caught the two terrifying waves of Qi, Gong Sanhe and the others simultaneously let out a cry of astonishment, staring in disbelief at the bizarre scene before them.
Death Shadow was stunned, even forgetting to attack and standing idly in mid-air, dumbfoundedly looking at Yang Zhen.
“Impossible, this is impossible!”
The more outrageous scene was yet to come. Holding the Yin and Yang Qi in his hands, not only didn’t it explode, but Yang Zhen even smirked at Death Shadow with mischievous eyes, while waving his hands and creating sustained seals in quick succession, remarking, “This is not how you play with the Yin and Yang energy!”
As he spoke, under the unbelieving gazes of everyone, Yang Zhen suddenly slammed the two energies together.
“Are you mad?”
Death Shadow was startled and hastily faced his palms in front of his face. How could such decidedly opposite forces like Yin and Yang energy be so recklessly slammed together?
Even Death Shadow did not dare to do so. The explosive force would be enough to blast everyone at the scene into the air.
At this point, Death Shadow no longer cared why these two different forms of Yin and Yang energy lost contact. He exploded with all the power in his body, condensing a True Essence shield in front of him that radiated a terrifying aura.
However, the expected explosion did not happen. Instead, the atmosphere around them became more turbulent. The fluctuating waves of Qi even distorted the Heaven and Earth Qi.
Death Shadow lifted his head to look at Yang Zhen and exclaimed, “Impossible, what is this?”
At some unknown time, the Yin and Yang Qi around Yang Zhen were combined in a strange way. The stable yet explosive waves made Death Shadow turn white.
“Impossible, how did you do that?”
Yang Zhen blinked and said, “Yin and Yang energy, this is not how you play it. Remember this impressive diagram, it’s called… Taiji!”
“Taiji?”
Death Shadow cried out in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.
It was too sudden, so sudden that he did not react at all.
Hum——!
A chilling aura erupted from Yang Zhen’s hand, causing the exquisite pattern to burst with dazzling light, aiming at the Yin-Yang Illusion of the Death Shadow.
Boom——!
The two clashed, and the violent shockwave immediately knocked the Death Shadow to the ground. With a shocked face, he looked up towards the air, about to make a move when he was startled again, looking back blankly.
The dust created by the twenty-four Death Servants had somehow slowly dissipated. Twenty-four people lay on the ground, arranged in a peculiar ‘S’ shape and another odd pattern. Death Shadow couldn’t recognize this pattern and couldn’t describe what it looked like.
Not only the Death Shadow, but also Gong Sanhe and his two companions, who had been watching from the sidelines, were stupefied by the strange scene before them.
From the moment Yang Zhen was surrounded by the twenty-four Death Servants, to his sudden appearance in mid-air behind the Death Shadow, it took only a dozen or so breaths. In such a short time, all twenty-four Mahayana Phase Death Servants had lost their ability to move and were arranged by Yang Zhen into two bizarre patterns.
How…how did he do that?
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen as if they were witnessing the most improbable occurrence. Moreover, Yang Zhen was slowly approaching the Death Shadow, holding a strange Yin-Yang Pattern in each hand.
Yang Zhen moved slowly, as if he was taking a stroll. In the eyes of the Death Shadow, however, there was an undying look of horror.
“Who…who are you?”
The Death Shadow stared at Yang Zhen with a look of uncertainty and fear, and his question was filled with trepidation.
This was a difficult situation for Yang Zhen to handle, as these bastards were extremely aggressive. If pressed hard, they might commit suicide. If they were not pressed, their arrogance stopped them from heeding others. This was indeed challenging.
So this time, Yang Zhen decided to truly win people over with virtue and at least make the Death Shadow submit in words and in heart.
Yes, the body needs to submit too.
Yang Zhen did not answer the Death Shadow’s question but sighed and said, “It’s not important who the Sao Saint is. What’s important is, do you submit now?”
Submit?
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, a treacherous gleam flashed in Death Shadow’s eyes. With a wave of his hands, he suddenly launched himself towards Yang Zhen.
At the same time, two lights exploded from the Death Shadow’s hands, one black and one bright, like two long snakes, they rushed towards Yang Zhen at an eerie speed.
Boom——!
A horrifying explosion resonated, and the Death Shadow let out a howl. He was forcefully thrown away, shocked at the two Yin-Yang Patterns that had exploded in Yang Zhen’s hands.
Yang Zhen sighed and continued walking towards the Death Shadow. He made a gesture with both hands, and two Yin-Yang Patterns appeared again: “You old wreck, are you crazy? The Sao Saint has told you, the Yin Yang Qi is not to toy with, yet you keep playing with it?”
Boom——!
The two Yin-Yang Patterns exploded again. By the time the Death Shadow was blown away, he started to spit blood in mid-air, spraying it all over. His expression was filled with terror. A violent energy burst out all over him, making him seem mad. He roared and suddenly disappeared in mid-air.
Boom——!
Two balls of Yin-Yang Pattern exploded again on the Death Shadow’s face.
“Impossible, how did you know I was here?”
Yang Zhen once again conjured two Yin-Yang Patterns, as if he hadn’t heard Death Shadow’s question: “Now do you believe that the Sao Saint always attempts to win people over with virtue? You shouldn’t always resort to violence. Can fists solve problems? They can’t. We must reason and talk about benevolence. So… Do you submit now?”
Ding Chun and Gong Sanhe looked at each other, their mouths twitching in unison.
Is this called winning people over with virtue?
Is this bastard a devil? Is there such a way to win people over with virtue?
