Chapter 653: Chapter 659: Can you guess whether I can chop you up? (Third update)
Show mercy?
No way!
Once Yang Zhen made a move, he did not intend to let Duan Xingzhi stand up again.
While everyone else was conserving their True Essence, Yang Zhen had no such concerns. Even without any Heaven and Earth Qi to absorb, he could still fight continuously for five days and nights without sleeping.
In the entire Nine Dragon Que Flower territory, perhaps no one could fight non-stop without sleeping for five days and nights like Yang Zhen. He could simply wear them out.
Duan Xingzhi never imagined Yang Zhen to have such a terrifying speed. By the time he reacted, Yang Zhen’s Great Missing Sword was already above his head.
“Wait, you dare to kill…”
Bang!
With a terrifying force, the Great Missing Sword slashed directly onto Duan Xingzhi’s longsword. With a pitiful cry, the longsword snapped into two. Duan Xingzhi did not even have the chance to scream before Yang Zhen’s sword hit his shoulder, shattering it completely.
Even if his sword was blunt, and despite Duan Xingzhi’s hurried attempt to dodge, his shoulder was smashed beyond repair.
If Duan Xingzhi’s reaction had been a little slower, it would have been his head instead of his shoulder that was shattered.
Duan Xingzhi wailed in agony, rolling on the ground clutching his arm, looking at Yang Zhen in disbelief.
Yang Zhen slowly approached Duan Xingzhi. Seeing the absolute terror on Duan Xingzhi’s face and his retreating steps, he shouted at the disciples of the Ancient Life Sect. “What are you all waiting for? Kill this brat for me!”
The faces of the Ancient Life Sect disciples changed, and they rushed toward Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen laughed out loud, slung the Great Missing Sword on his shoulder, and sneered at Duan Xingzhi. “Do you think I can’t chop you to pieces while under siege?”
Seeing Yang Zhen’s arrogant posture and wild words, Duan Xingzhi blanched.
From the moment they clashed, Duan Xingzhi was well aware that if Yang Zhen wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t even have been able to finish his sentence.
If at this point, Duan Xingzhi still didn’t realize he had met his match, then he was truly living a dog’s life.
Gong Sanhe came over to Yang Zhen with a strange look on his face, and in a serious tone, he scolded the disciples of the Ancient Life Sect. “All of you, back off!”
Seeing Gong Sanhe’s actions, Duan Xingzhi heaved a sigh of relief. At this point, he did not expect Gong Sanhe to confront Yang Zhen for his sake.
If he was not a match for Yang Zhen, how could Gong Sanhe hope to kill Yang Zhen?
Even if he had the help of the entire Ancient Life Sect, it seemed feasible for Yang Zhen to kill him if he was ready to risk his life.
It was under the gaze of everyone that Duan Xingzhi truly realized why these old guys held Yang Zhen in such high regard.
At this point, Gong Sanhe came over to Yang Zhen, chuckled bitterly, and said, “Young Friend Yang, could you spare old Duan Xingzhi’s life for my sake?”
Upon hearing Gong Sanhe’s words, everyone on the scene looked surprised. The disciples of the Ancient Life Sect had a mournful look in their eyes.
Everyone else looked at Gong Sanhe with strange expressions.
As elders of the Ancient Life Sect, Duan Xingzhi’s arm was shattered by Yang Zhen. Yet, Gong Sanhe not only stopped the disciples, but he also pleaded for Duan Xingzhi?
An elderly man was pleading for a young practitioner?
If word of this got out, the Ancient Life Sect would truly be left without any dignity.
With clenched teeth, Duan Xingzhi glared at Yang Zhen, his eyes filled with resentment. The disciples of the Ancient Life Sect were also flashing a strong killing intent.
It was clear that the people of Ancient Life Sect still hadn’t put aside their hostility towards Yang Zhen.
Everyone was paying attention to Yang Zhen, wanting to know how he would handle this matter.
The practitioners from the two sacred lands, the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, the mighty ones from the Ancient Spirit Clan, disciples from various other sects, and many rogue practitioners, all were eagerly watching Yang Zhen.
“I don’t know how Yang Zhen will deal with this matter.”
“This is hard, sparing Duan Xingzhi is too lenient for the guy who always trades on his age. But if Yang Zhen kills Duan Xingzhi in front so many people, won’t that completely offend the Ancient Life Sect?”
“Has Yang Zhen offended any less major forces? He’s still alive and kicking. In my opinion, Yang Zhen won’t easily spare Duan Xingzhi.”
“Who can we blame, isn’t this all because of Duan Xingzhi’s folly?”
…
Amidst the abundance of discussions, Yang Zhen took a deep breath, looked at the fierce disciples of the Ancient Life Sect, and amusingly looked at Gong Sanhe before asking, “Senior, do you reckon, if I were lying on the ground now, could you save my life from the old fellow, Duan Xingzhi?”
“This…” Gong Sanhe was taken aback.
Could he?
All eyes were suddenly on Duan Xingzhi.
Perhaps… he couldn’t!
A sinister expression flickered on Duan Xingzhi’s face. Hearing this, his face changed, he suddenly laughed loudly, stood up, and stared at Yang Zhen, saying, “Boy, you’re right. Survival of the fittest indeed is both the simplest and most complicated truth in this world. If you were lying down, you would have become a corpse by now.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, even Yang Zhen didn’t expect Duan Xingzhi to be such a stubborn fellow.
Yang Zhen grinned, looking at Gong Sanhe, whose face was filled with bitterness, and before he could speak, he heard gasps of surprise.
“Damn it, Duan Xingzhi, what do you think you’re doing?”
“Stop it now, old man, I’m telling you to stop!”
“Not good, stop him quick!”
Bang!
As Yang Zhen turned his head, a crazed glint crossed Duan Xingzhi’s eyes. His body suddenly burst into a terrifying wave of energy that obscured the entire sky. His Spirit Soul was set ablaze.
Like a beast roaring and howling, Duan Xingzhi clearly understood that Yang Zhen had no intention of sparing him. With his Spirit Soul burning, his speed drastically increased. Like a stream of dark purple lightning, he charged towards the not-too-distant altar.
He was incredibly fast, and Yang Zhen didn’t even have the chance to stop the old man.
Moreover, when Yang Zhen heard the waves of surprise around him and looked back, Duan Xingzhi had already rushed out thousands of feet and was just about to crash into the altar.
“Brat, you were hoping to kill me, but what a pipe dream! Now, even in death, I won’t let any of you off. This is the land of the Nine Dragon Que Flower, isn’t it? Once I barge open this altar, every single one of you will perish with me…”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Compelling True Essence exploded, and Duan Xingzhi slammed into the altar. His entire head immediately exploded. His Spirit Soul burned fiercely with an eerie laughter echoing.
“Die, all of you die! All of you will accompany me in death!”
“Dammit!”
Facing this scenario, Yang Zhen’s face changed. He jumped up, the Somersault Cloud under his feet burst into a tempest, and he scooped up Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er on each arm and started running.
The cheap cat dashed onto Yang Zhen’s head, clutching his hair as it looked back, its eyes nearly popped out!
“Holy shit, run kid! Damn, the altar is exploding, hurry up, damn it, the altar is getting bigger!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A terrifying aura emanated from the altar, gushing out. The entire altar was indeed slowly rising.
Before long, a mountain-sized giant altar appeared from the ground.
At the same time, the entire continuous mountain range shook violently as if the sky had turned upside down. Countless beams of light shot up and filled the sky in an instant.
The whole place of the Nine Dragon Que Flowers, had completely erupted!
