What just happened?
Why was Patriarch Wang lying on the ground without uttering a word?
Why did Elder Quâs face become as constipated-looking as it was, what exactly was going on?
Everyone stared blankly at Elder Qu, craning their necks to get a better view. Yet, Patriarch Wang lay in the pit, unconsciousâ¦
Unconscious?
Upon this thought, everyone went wild. Seeing Elder Quâs face, the outcome was clear, could it be⦠Patriarch Wang was dead?
Even if he wasnât dead, he must have been severely injured. Considering the extent of Yang Zhenâs offenses against the three Void Cultivation Stage fighters, even if Patriarch Wang could get up, he would climb up only to bite Yang Zhen to death.
But after attacking Yang Zhen, Yang Zhen was only a little disheveled, while Patriarch Wang lay on the ground, unconscious, or perhaps already dead.
This⦠this was too unbelievable.
Elder Quâs face turned deathly pale, his expression fluctuating. He glanced at Elder Tie and said solemnly, âElder Tie, thereâs something strange about this boy. Letâs join forces and kill him!â
Hearing this, everyone present gasped, disbelievingly looking at Elder Qu, seemingly thinking they had heard wrong.
Two Void Cultivation Stage fighters were actually planning to team up against Yang Zhen?
Hua Youyueâs face kept changing color. Ignoring Medicine Elderâs attempts to stop her, she moved lightly to stand in front of Yang Zhen, facing Elder Qu and Elder Tie.
âThe two of you are esteemed elders, isnât this a bit unfair to do this to a youngster?â
Hearing Hua Youyueâs words, everyone present changed color simultaneously, showing admiration. Under these circumstances, Yang Zhen almost had no chance of survival. Elder Qu and Elder Tie were determined to kill Yang Zhen.
For Hua Youyue to stand up at this moment, it was clear to all that the two were more than just ordinary friends.
No regular friend would be able to face two Void Cultivation Stage fighters without changing color. If they were to spread the word, no one would believe them, especially given the severe injuries to Yang Zhen. Who would dare to offend the two Void Cultivation Stage fighters for him?
In Medicine Elderâs eyes flickered an undecipherable expression. Though he remained silent, he moved to stand next to Hua Youyue, falling slightly behind. If a fight broke out at this moment, he could immediately remove Yang Zhen from the scene.
But what good would that do?
With their combined strengths, they were likely still no match for Elder Tie and Elder Qu.
Elder Tie watched Hua Youyue with a sullen expression, then suddenly burst into laughter, in a proud and arrogant tone, he said, âLittle girl, do you really wish to offend us, for the sake of such an incredibly arrogant boy? Donât forget, given the relationship between this old man and Master Ma, with just one word at the Dan Reward Conference, your Changyue Tower will have no standing!â
Upon hearing these words, Hua Youyueâs body trembled, and Medicine Elderâs face turned very ugly.
Yang Zhen straightened up and asked curiously, âWho is Master Ma?â
Hua Youyue bit her lower lip and explained, âDo you remember the original purpose I told you of coming to East Forest Island?â
Understanding dawned on Yang Zhen, and he said in realization, âThe Alchemist Refining Grandmaster?â
Hua Youyue nodded with a bitter smile, but before Yang Zhen could say anything, she turned her head to face Elder Tie and said, âEven if I donât participate in this Dan Reward Conference, Youyue will not let you kill Yang Zhen so easily!â
A murmur of surprise swept the crowd.
Elder Tie coldly looked at Hua Youyue and said in a deep voice, âIn other words, as the tower master of Changyue Tower, you are determined to go ahead with this, ignoring the efforts of Changyue Tower on East Forest Island for many years, and discarding the interests of all the people of Changyue Tower?â
Everyoneâs faces changed at this heavy accusation.
At this moment, Hua Youyueâs expression became calm. She smiled and said, âSo what if thatâs the case?â
Before Elder Tie could speak again, Elder Qu suddenly huffed and said, âSince this little girl Hua Youyue insists on being so unreasonable, why should Elder Tie waste words? Just kill her too!â
Hua Youyue trembled slightly but managed to put on a beautiful smile. She nodded and said, âElders, Youyue is not without strength to fight back!â
Seeing that Hua Youyue was actually going to risk her life against the two old men, Yang Zhen quickly pulled her aside and scolded, âLittle girl, this is where you are wrong. How could you steal my kills?â
Hua Youyue paused, seemingly puzzled by the meaning of âmonster snatchingâ, but she understood Yang Zhenâs intentions. She shook her head and said, âWith your current injuries, how could you handle two Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses?â
Yang Zhen laughed heartily and retorted, âIâm feeling great right now. Forget two Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses, I could take on ten. You just sit back and admire my majestic figure. Oh, and donât forget to yell â666â!â
âKid, go ahead without worry. Iâll yell â666â for you!â The nasty cat popped up from nowhere, approaching Yang Zhen to give him words of assurance.
Yang Zhen kicked over the nasty cat, went up to Elder Tie and Elder Qu, hands on hips issuing a defiant challenge, âCome on, you two old geezers. If youâve got the guts, come at me together. Itâs a great opportunity. Iâve just learned some new tricks, itâs about time I try them out on you!â
âSmooth talker!â Elder Tie coldly snorted, âYou donât need to act tough. Even as death looms, you continue to boast shamelessly. Kid, prepare to die!â
Boom!
With one swing of Elder Tieâs hammer, the surrounding air exploded with thunderous roars, violent air waves blowing around, stirring up a sandstorm and flinging rocks about.
Elder Qu also coldly snorted, a massive shadow forming behind him, smashing down towards Yang Zhen.
Under the frightening pressure of the two Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses, Yang Zhenâs body buckled, but his momentum suddenly skyrocketed.
Everyone held their breath as they watched this scene unfold.
Yang Zhenâs prior fight with Patriarch Wang had happened too quickly, and the violent energy surges made it hard to make out what was going on.
Even now, people found it hard to believe that Yang Zhen was able to take down a Void Cultivation Stage powerhouse with a single punch. Every Void Cultivation Stage powerhouse who visited East Forest Island was a revered figure. Yet, Yang Zhen had managed to kill one with a single punch. It was simply mind-boggling.
As people were still filled with disbelief, the energy in Yang Zhenâs body suddenly erupted again. His aura grew stranger, as though all the energy within his body was surging towards his fist.
On Yang Zhenâs right fist, a mystical crimson light burst forth. It was like a blood red sun, charging madly at the two men.
This was Yang Zhenâs most powerful attack yet, incorporating all his understanding of the forces he had gleaned when witnessing the fight between Dust Blood Great Sage and the winged giant on the mountaintop.
An overwhelming power gathered behind Yang Zhen. The phantom image of a dragon elephant appeared once more, emitting violent energy fluctuations that resembled a storm, obscuring the sky and sending waves of blood soaring into the air.
âDie!â
âDie!â
Elders Qu and Tie shimmered into motion, their surging energy smashing towards Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen suddenly raised his head, his eyes gleaming red. His right fist slammed upward, meeting the onslaught head on.
âGo screw yourself!â
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion spread out, blasting the ground beneath the three of them apart and creating a giant crater.
Yang Zhenâs body was flung backward, crashing heavily into the nearby stone steps. He vomited a mouthful of fresh blood, yet kept his eyes resolutely on the two Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses. With a mighty leap, he yelled, âAgain!â
Elder Tieâs face was growing increasingly grave. He forcefully suppressed the turbulent energy within him, swallowed the fresh blood in his throat, and bellowed, âStrike and kill him fast!â
Elder Quâs fists erupted with power as he rushed towards Yang Zhen with Elder Tie.
Boom!
A crushing sound of breaking bones resounded as Yang Zhenâs punch collided with Elder Quâs fists, but Elder Tie suddenly turned and fled midway.
Elder Qu turned his head, looking dumbfounded at Elder Tie who was running away faster than a rabbit. He wanted to curse but ended up vomiting a mouthful of blood and falling to the ground. His internal organs had been shattered by Yang Zhenâs punch.
Yang Zhen wobbled back on his feet, his body covered in blood, with even his face smeared with gore.
He raised his head to look at the fleeing Elder Tie, then swivelled around, giving Hua Youyue a lopsided grin, âHey, girl, am I handsome or what?â
Still recovering from her shock, Hua Youyue subconsciously nodded her head.
The nasty cat shrunk its neck and looked at Yang Zhen with amazement in its eyes.. Confusion flickered as it mumbled to itself, âHoly shit, that power⦠how is that even possible?â
