Bang!
Another figure fell from the sky, hitting the ground hard and creating a large pit.
At this time, the Scoundrel Cat had not finished tying up the person who had just fallen.
Everyone was staring at the sky in astonishment, completely dumbfounded.
Could Yang Zhenâs strength really have become so terrifying in just half a monthâs time? their faces seemed to echo.
Four divine travel stage experts were screaming in the sky, but they couldnât even touch the corner of Yang Zhenâs clothes, let alone deal a hit. Instead, two of them had been smacked down by Yang Zhenâs fist.
It had to be a trap!
All the news about the imminent opening of the emperorâs secret legacy, and Yang Zhen and Scoundrel Cat waiting here, everything was fake!
From the current situation, Yang Zhen and Scoundrel Cat must have deliberately spread the news to lure these people here.
Damn it, these two bastards were incredibly devious and cunning, and absolute assholes. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After realizing this, everyone felt a chill running down their backs. They were thankful they hadnât rushed up to ask Yang Zhen for information about the secret treasure. Otherwise, who knew how many people would be lying beside the Scoundrel Cat by now.
What on earth were Yang Zhen and Scoundrel Cat planning to do?
Most of the practitioners involved in the matter of changing Hua Youyueâs destiny knew that Yang Zhen was about to embark on the Spirit Road overseas. At this point in time, was Yang Zhen trying to offend everyone in the Nether State continent?
Given Yang Zhenâs character, he was certainly capable of doing such a thing.
People were filled with apprehension, and looked up at the battle in the sky in horror.
This was terrifying. Yang Zhen was certainly not someone to be trifled with!
By now, the only one who could fight Yang Zhen was Elder Feng. The other four were all lying on the ground, tied up like dumplings by the Scoundrel Cat, wriggling non-stop.
Elder Feng apparently guessed what had happened. He looked at Yang Zhen angrily and roared, âYang Zhen, what do you intend to do? How dare you lure us here from far away to humiliate us?â
Yang Zhen looked at him with a face of surprise and asked, âSenior, why are you saying something so strange? When did I ever lure you here?â
âYouâ¦â Elder Feng flailed his sleeve and exclaimed, âStill trying to argue? Let me ask you, why are you here?â
Yang Zhen glanced at Elder Feng and said, âThis place has beautiful mountains and clear waters. Scoundrel Cat and I happened to pass by here and were immediately attracted by its beauty. We couldnât resist the urge to stay and compose some poems. Is there a problem with that?â
ââ¦â Elder Feng stared at Yang Zhen, dumbfounded, his eye twitching. He scoffed, âThen let me ask you, who leaked the news of the secret treasure here?â
Yang Zhen blinked and asked, âCould it have been a beautiful misunderstanding?â
âMisunderstanding?â Elder Feng was stunned, then his face hardened with anger as he asked incredulously, âHow could it possibly be a misunderstanding?â
Yang Zhen, with an innocent face, glanced around and said, âIâm not sure about that. I was merely inspired to compose a poem. Anything beyond that, I truly donât know.â
âWhat kind of poem?â Elder Feng felt himself going mad. He wasnât sure why, but he had an urge to ask this.
As expected, Yang Zhenâs eyes lighted up. He burst into laughter and exclaimed, âElder Feng must be an individual of a similar nature to appreciate such art, come, listen, here is how my poem goes⦠â
âAh !â
Yang Zhen threw his head back and began to recite loudly.
Everyone was startled by the sudden outburst. Even the four divine travel stage experts, who were still twitching on the ground, felt goosebumps run down their spine. They stopped moving and stared blankly at Yang Zhen, uncertain of his next move.
After finishing his outburst, Yang Zhen began to recite enthusiastically, âFrom some angles theyâre ridges, from others theyâre peaks, the Emperorâs inheritance is indeed unique, for one cannot discern the true face of the white clouds, only because one is in the middle of these mountains.â
âWhat a piece of shit!â
The wicked cat let out a howl, clapping in approval.
The rest of the crowd twitched their lips in annoyance, âDamn, itâs a good poem indeed, but wonât you admit that the Emperorâs legacy is right here?â
Yang Zhen wore a satisfied smile, while Elder Fengâs face darkened. He voiced in a deep tone, âYang Zhen, what are you trying to do ultimately? Arenât you afraid of becoming everyoneâs target by acting so recklessly?â
Hearing this, all present felt their hearts jolt, casting shocked glances at Yang Zhen and Elder Feng.
Elder Feng was right. If Yang Zhen continued to act so audaciously, he might very likely irritate many powerful figures and find himself the target of unified opposition.
If Elder Feng from Mountain Huaâs Blessed Land and Elder Dai from Land Spring Cave Heaven, the two major forces, were to unite, they could potentially leverage resources from all quarters to suppress Yang Zhen. There might be no place to hide on the entire continent of Nether State.
Every pair of eyes fixed on him, a tinge of change came to Yang Zhenâs face. Everyone was on edge, looking at Yang Zhen uncertainly and fearfully.
A faint smile crossed the corner of Yang Zhenâs mouth, growing broader until it turned into a snicker. He addressed Elder Feng calmly, âYou speak as if you would let me go if I behave differently. Didnâ t you want to know what exactly I am up to?â
Hearing this, everyone shuddered, their faces filled with disbelief as they stared at Yang Zhen.
This question had been bothering everyone for the longest time.
What exactly was Yang Zhen trying to do? Was there a hidden treasure about to be unveiled here?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a terrifying surge of Taoist power burst forth from Yang Zhen. Aura-embedded runes blocked out the sky, mysterious, profound energies rising and swirling, while Yang Zhenâs figure abruptly disappeared into thin air.
The next moment, Yang Zhenâs voice echoed slowly.
âI just want you to get the picture, and stop harboring thoughts of messing with me. I donât kill you, not because I am merciful, but because there is a hint of law-abiding conscience in this Sao Saint.â
Boom!
The sky-obscuring aura erupted, causing Elder Fengâs expression to change drastically. He exclaimed, âNo good!â
No sooner had his words left the mouth, Elder Feng lifted his head in dread, staring in surprise at Yang Zhen in midair.
Yang Zhen was then enveloped in a rolling aura, as deep and unfathomable as a vast ocean. The energy emanating from him felt as overwhelming as a collapsing snow mountain.
It wasnât only Elder Feng who was taken aback. Even the surrounding practitioners couldnât help but look up at Yang Zhen in shock.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Yang Zhen took one step after another towards Elder Feng, a terrifying pressure rolling over them like a tempest.
Everyone was dumbstruck. What was Yang Zhen doing? Had he gone mad? He was actually⦠actually trying to overpower Elder Feng with his own aura.
A practitioner in the Void Cultivation Stage, trying to outdo a Divine Travel Stage strongman in aura?
How on earth was that possible?
Elder Feng wore a gloomy, uncertain expression before he suddenly burst into wild laughter, âIgnorant boy, do you know how drastically a Divine Travel Stage strongmanâs aura is enhanced once they enter the Divine Travel Realm?â âWhat?â everyone exclaimed in unison, staring at Elder Feng in shock, as they yelled involuntarily, âDivine Travel Realm!â
âThis is the end for Yang Zhen, heâs just embarrassing himself. Even if he can defeat a Divine Travel Realm strongman, he only relies on his physical strength bolstered by surviving a thunderstorm. To defeat a Divine Travel Realm strongman purely based on the aura, this is simply impossible!â
âYang Zhen has gone mad!â
Boom!
Elder Fengâs aura exploded suddenly. A mad dragon roared and encircled above Elder Fengâs head, instantly causing cries of surprise.
âThe Flood Dragon Shadow, this⦠this is so powerful!â
