Chapter 654: Chapter 660: Five Days (First Update)
Everyone was running. It was as though the heavens and earth of the Nine Dragon Que Flower place had exploded, tearing open the sky. Amidst endless flashing lighting, roars of thunder, and dark waves of air, it seemed as if immense chasms were pouring out power.
Threads of extraordinary Heaven and Earth Qi, laden with endless might, surged up from the ground, entered the semi-sky, and roared like long dragons.
The earth oscillated as innumerable terrifying forces burst out from the massive altar in seconds, filling the Nine Dragon Que Flower place. Mountain ranges shattered, cracks appeared on the ground, horrifying chasms of unfathomable depth opened up, dark waves of air erupted, causing the ground to roar. Huge rocks were blown away, sky-reaching trees were reduced to dust.
Endless roars echoed from all directions, as if countless fierce beasts were roaring towards the sky. The occasional terrifying sound explosion was ear-splitting and utterly terrifying.
Under such circumstances, who would dare to stay?
Including the people from the Ancient Life Sect, even Duan Xingzhi’s body was ignored; everyone was fleeing at once without any hesitation, and they were quick.
Yang Zhen was running in a somewhat disheveled state. Violent waves of fire were descending from the sky, huge thunder was blasting the ground, and there were those vast stones, and mountains, all falling down like rain.
A dismissive cat was perched on Yang Zhen’s head, looking up at the topsy-turvy scene. Its face turned green, tightly clinging to Yang Zhen’s forehead, and complaining ceaselessly.
“Waah, waah, waah, I, the respectable one, hate this flashy Heaven and Earth prohibition, hurry up… Damn it, run faster, kid, we’re about to get hit by rocks… Save me!”
Yang Zhen stumbled, almost throwing off the cat. Damn
“Shut the hell up! You have four legs but make me, with only two legs, run. Look at Sao Chicken…”
At this point, Yang Zhen’s expression changed, he inhaled deeply and said, “We must go find Sao Chicken!”
Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, both Han Yan’er and Hua Youyue shuddered.
The dismissive cat yelled, “You’re insane, kid. At this time, you want to go back to find Sao Chicken?”
Yang Zhen glanced back at the Nine Dragon Que Flower place, which had turned into a hell on earth. He took a deep breath, stopped running, and nodded.
With a punch that shattered the falling boulders, Yang Zhen put Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er down and said, “Both of you, go with the others and get out of here. As soon as I find Sao Chicken, I’ll come out.”
Hua Youyue was just about to speak when Yang Zhen grinned and said, “Rest assured. A minor Nine Dragon Que Flower place can’t kill me. Five days, at most, I’ll be back. There might even be other gains.”
Hua Youyue frowned, nodded, and said, “I’ll wait for you. Five days. If you don’t come, I’ll come looking for you!”
Yang Zhen patted Hua Youyue’s hair, and said, “Good.”
Hua Youyue gazed at Yang Zhen, her eyes filled with a mix of reproach and shyness that made Yang Zhen’s heart skip a beat. Such a girl- isn’t she the dream of countless men?
When Yang Zhen turned to look at Han Yan’er, she was sheathing her sword. She stared at Yang Zhen with her bright eyes, bit onto her lip, and said, “I’ll go with you.”
Yang Zhen widened his eyes, “Why would you go with me? You’ll slow me down!”
Han Yan’er paused, looked at Yang Zhen blankly, nodded, and said, “Okay, five days. I’ll wait for you too. If you don’t come, I’ll search the entire Nine Dragon Que Flower place. You… you should remember, the only one who’s allowed to kill you is me!”
Yang Zhen was taken aback. He stared at Han Yan’er, looking perplexed, then suddenly broke into a grin, and said, “Rest assured, for all we know, the one who can take this Sao Saint’s life, hasn’t even been born yet. How about we share a farewell hug?”
Watching Yang Zhen trying to move closer, Han Yan’er gave a cold snort. The Sun Shadow sword instantly rushed out of its sheath, its glint instantly appeared, making Yang Zhen immediately turn around and run.
The dismissive cat gave out a groan and swiftly jumped up to Yang Zhen’s shoulder, yelling, “Take me with you. I’m small, I won’t be a burden.”
“Bullshit, none of you are burdens, even if you don’t go, this Sao Saint will drag you along. Hold on tight, the veteran driver is about to hit the road!”
“Ha ha ha…”
Han Yan’er angrily sheathed the Sun Shadow, turned around to Hua Youyue and said, “Let me explain…”
Hua Youyue smiled tenderly, shook her head, and said, “You don’t have to explain.”
With that, Hua Youyue’s body suddenly bloomed with a cold light. A beautiful Epiphyllum flower appeared at her feet. She beckoned to Han Yan’er, saying, “Let’s go, little sister!”
Han Yan’er blinked, her eyes flashing with a peculiar expression. She hesitated for a moment before jumping on, sighing in relief.
A terrifying wave of energy came rushing, Yang Zhen laughed heartily. The Great Missing Sword in his hand was in a frenzy, shattering massive rocks into countless pieces.
A man and his sword, in an audacious stance, with his robe billowing beneath him, he seemed as dazzling as a god of war.
Damn it, he couldn’t even choose not to shine bright if he wanted to.
Everyone ran away, only Yang Zhen moving against the crowd, carrying a cat and wielding the Great Missing Sword.
Yang Zhen’s wild approach scared the people around him.
“Fuck my life, Yang Zhen is truly something! He’s putting his life on the line for fortune, daring to go back at this time?”
“Young friend Yang, fortunes are meant to be encountered, not sought after. No matter what treasures lie there, one needs to be alive to take them. Hurry and leave with us. We can talk about it once the prohibitions are stable!”
“Surely there must be great treasures inside. Yang Zhen, this profit-driven fellow, actually risked his life and dashed back. In such a state, even if someone was in the Mahayana Phase or the Divine Transformation Stage, they wouldn’t be able to handle it.”
“Didn’t Yang Zhen say there’s a Demon Saint sealed under the altar? He still dares to run back, not afraid of running into the Demon Saint? Listen to that roar, how many fierce beasts are there?”
“Bah, not a word from Yang Zhen’s mouth is true. What Demon Saint! It must be him making things up!”
A group of people stood agape as they watched Yang Zhen charging back. After listening to the discussions around him, the scummy cat looked at Yang Zhen with confusion and said, “Motherfucker, we just couldn’t let go of the Sao Chicken, and these bastards are portraying you so horribly. Why are you still laughing? Aren’t you angry? Can you explain?”
Yang Zhen laughed loudly. At this time, how could he not recite a poem?
“Haha, others laugh at me for being crazy, I laugh at others for not seeing through it all. How others see this Sao Saint, doesn’t matter to the Sao Saint?”
Hearing this, the scummy cat was shocked and looked at Yang Zhen with admiration, “Holy shit, kid, that’s some impressive worldview you have.”
“Thank you, thank you! I, the Sao Saint, can come up with loads of such worldviews.”
“Damn, Yang Sao Saint, you’re amazing!”
“Not at all, not at all. I can’t compare to you, Scummy Cat!”
“Too kind, too kind!”
“I am unworthy, really unworthy!”
“Strive together?”
“You got it!”
The crowd listened with blank expressions, most of the practitioners stumbled, almost falling onto the ground.
These two, they really are a couple of scoundrels!
The man and the cat, praising each other, quickly reached the side of the altar.
The scummy cat was stunned and asked, “Hey kid, where do we look for Sao Chicken? It couldn’t be in this goddamn thing, right?”
Yang Zhen blanked out, “You’re asking me, but who am I supposed to ask?”
“No!” Sao Chicken was shocked: “Fuck, did you just rush in without thinking?”
“Uh-huh!”
