Chapter 632: Chapter 639: Start to fight with oneself! (Fourth Update)
Everyone gasped as they watched Yang Zhen aim his sword at Duan Sihai. The Cheap Cat, extremely excited, exclaimed, “I told you so, didn’t I? You’ve hurt the girl and now Yang Xiaozi is going to fight you to the death. Look at you, at the Divine Transformation Stage, yet easily defeated by a single sword strike!”
“Cheap Cat!” Hua Youyue scolded, glancing at the cat. Yet when she looked at Yang Zhen, her eyes flickered with worry. The corner of her mouth, however, tilted slightly upwards, her face filled with pride.
A thunderous boom!
Terrifying waves, like raging torrents, exploded mid-air and swept in all directions. Duan Sihai’s face changed, and he hurriedly dodged. Yet, Yang Zhen attacked like a madman, each sword strike faster and fiercer than its predecessor.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
No one except Yang Zhen could have executed the Chaotic Cyclone Hammer Technique with the Great Missing Sword.
Everyone watched in disbelief as Duan Sihai, who was at the Divine Transformation Stage, was forced to retreat under Yang Zhen’s continuous attacks.
Li Cangxu, gripping his longsword, stared at Yang Zhen, bearing an intense look. His fingers twitched, aching to join the fight, but he forcefully held back.
Hoping to settle their karma, Li Cangxu had planned to confront Zhen upon entering the Ancient Ruins. But after encountering Hua Youyue, he realized that even she was a formidable opponent. The blood on Hua Youyue was not hers but his.
However, Li Cangxu’s attack had injured Hua Youyue’s internal organs, making her condition severe.
Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain publicly sided with Hua Youyue and Yang Zhen, leading to a showdown with the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land. No one made a move, yet Yang Zhen rushed in like a madman.
Li Cangxu felt fear when he saw Yang Zhen’s terrifying aura and the murderous intent in his eyes.
Yang Zhen was a lunatic!
However, this fear ignited a strong desire to fight within Li Cangxu. But when he saw Yang Zhen forcing his master to retreat with each strike, he was taken aback.
“No, it can’t be. Has Yang Zhen advanced to the Divine Transformation Stage?” Li Cangxu thought, his mind afire. If Yang Zhen had indeed advanced, the benefits for Li Cangxu would multiply. But judging by Yang Zhen’s current explosive aura, he was at the peak of the Mahayana Phase, not even breaking through to the Ninth Heavenly Layer yet.
The Ninth Heavenly Layer of any cultivation level was a gateway to the next level. As Yang Zhen had not broken through this layer, he obviously hadn’t reached the Divine Transformation Stage.
What Li Cangxu couldn’t figure out was how Yang Zhen, who was clearly only at the peak of the Mahayana Phase, could unleash such a terrifying force.
Particularly in terms of strength, Yang Zhen was like a ferocious beast in human form, even more ferocious than Duan Sihai at the Divine Transformation Stage.
“Could… is Yang Zhen some kind of monster capable of fighting like this against a Divine Transformation Stage practitioner?”
“He’s more than a monster. He’s not human. Anyone who knows him would rather offend a Divine Transformation Stage practitioner than provoke Yang Zhen. I heard that when he goes wild, he doesn’t even spare himself.”
“But why did Yang Zhen want to kill Li Cangxu as soon as he saw him? Could their feud be that deep?”
“My friend, you seem to be unaware. Instead of having a deep feud, Yang Zhen and Li Cangxu share a karmic connection.”
“Really? What’s that?”
A group of curious onlookers discussed these points while watching the fight between Yang Zhen and the Divine Transformation Stage practitioner. Listening to the stories and legends about Yang Zhen, they learned about his grudges with Li Cangxu.
“What? Li Cangxu actually used Yang Zhen to gain entry?”
“This…This is truly…these two people, they’re simply…I really don’t know what to say anymore.”
Just then, the insect puppet that had been charging with Yang Zhen suddenly roared towards the heavens and, in an incredibly explosive manner, charged towards Yang Zhen and Duan Sihai.
Everyone was taken aback. Only then did they realize that there was actually a Divine Transformation Stage powerhouse following Yang Zhen, and their faces immediately turned pale.
Especially the people from the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, their faces became ashen, staring unbelievingly at the terrifying scene unfolding before their eyes.
“No wonder Yang Zhen is so fearless. I can’t believe there was actually a Divine Transformation Stage powerhouse supporting him!”
“This does not bode well. If Elder Duan has to deal with both Yang Zhen and this Divine Transformation Stage powerhouse at the same time, wouldn’t he be in danger?”
Hearing the disciples’ whispered discussions, Li Cangxu suddenly burst into laughter and soared into the sky. His body erupted in violent energy waves and, for a time, his aura was tremendous. The longsword in his hand let out a dragon-like roar as he charged towards the insect puppet.
“Senior, this humble one Li Cangxu, boldly seeks guidance!”
Boom–!
As soon as his words fell, Li Cangxu did not give anyone a chance to respond. He charged straight at the insect puppet, and they collided instantly, causing an earth-shaking wave of energy.
“What? Senior Brother Li, be careful!”
“What the hell!” The infernal cat’s eyes widened instantly, and it twisted its mouth to say, “This Li fellow thinks quite highly of himself to dare to confront a Divine Transformation Stage powerhouse head-on following Yang Kid’s lead!”
As it spoke, the infernal cat suddenly exclaimed, “Shit! Why do I feel like this Divine Transformation Stage guy is like a monster? No, he’s not even human!”
“Not human?” Hua Youyue’s face changed, she looked at the hellcat in surprise and said, “Then what is it?”
The infernal cat, spinning in circles on the spot with a clueless look on its face, shook its head and said, “I don’t know… it seems like… it seems like, damn it, I can’t remember! Where on earth did Yang Kid find such a strange being?”
Behind the insect puppet, both Gong Sanhe and Death Shadow wore baffled expressions. They watched as Li Cangxu unleashed a terrifying power that could actually compete with the insect puppet, their faces filled with shock and terror.
Especially Death Shadow, his face was so twisted in complexity, it’s almost unrecognizable, staring at Yang Zhen wide-eyed, then at Li Cangxu, and gasped, “Son of a bitch! This is Yang Decao’s true power, able to go head-to-head with a Divine Transformation Phase powerhouse?”
“Then…why did he run?” Gong Sanhe looked equally baffled, clearly shaken by Yang Zhen’s strength.
Death Shadow took a deep breath, “Who should I, an old man, ask then? Youngsters these days are incredible. Who is this kid who could actually fight on par with the insect puppet?”
“If I’m not mistaken, this is Elder Duan’s disciple, Li Cangxu. I’ve heard that Li Cangxu has been enlightened by a lad named Yang Zhen. Li Cangxu’s power is already this terrifying, I can’t imagine just how monstrous this kid named Yang Zhen is.”
“Tsk, enlightened by another human. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I do want to meet this youth named Yang Zhen when I have time.”
At this moment, Ding Chun and Wen Yuning had barely caught up. Seeing the scene before them, they were astounded.
Especially Ding Chun, when he saw Yang Zhen fighting alongside a Divine Transformation Stage powerhouse, his eyes almost popped out. He then laughed bitterly,
“Initially, I thought that I could easily catch up to Yang Decao. Even if Yang Decao is monstrous, he wouldn’t be much stronger than us. However… son of a bitch! He could actually fight to this extent with a Divine Transformation Stage powerhouse?”
At this moment, Hua Youyue slowly stepped forward. The Moon Shadow Longsword in her hand exuded an endless chill, she stared at Duan Sihai in mid-air and jumped up!
