Upon hearing Gong Sanheâs words, Duan Xingzhi paused for a moment, watching as Yang Zhen burst into laughter.
âHim?â
Duan Xingzhi sneered, slowly walking towards Yang Zhen, staring directly at him and stating, âToday, I really want to see what tricks you have at your disposal that could make all the old fools present here so absurdly deceived.â
Everyoneâs faces changed, casting unfriendly looks at Duan Xingzhi. The elderly present at the scene watched Duan Xingzhi with a cold and somewhat confused gaze.
Duan Xingzhi used to behave differently!
Yang Zhen was rather disappointed. He had just thought him a cunning man; he might have been ruthless, but he was a man of strategy. However, with that one sentence, he managed to offend all the elders present. Had he lost his mind?
As Duan Xingzhi approached Yang Zhen, turbulence rolled off his body, his clothes billowing fiercely. His terrifying aura changed the complexion of every Mahayana Phase expert present.
Duan Xingzhi, being a strong practitioner at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Mahayana Phase, was just one step away from the Divine Transformation Stage. His frightening aura was truly horrifying.
However, was Yang Zhen that easy to kill?
If any Mahayana Phase Ninth Heavenly Layer practitioner could just kill Yang Zhen, he wouldnât still be alive and kicking here, heâd probably be six feet under already.
While everyone was shocked by Duan Xingzhiâs scary aura, they were all gleefully watching his plight, curiously contemplating the consequence Duan Xingzhi would face if Yang Zhen fought back.
In the past, Yang Zhen didnât like killing, but those who offended him ended up in pretty dire straits.
Quite a number of people were already starting to worry for Duan Xingzhi.
Amongst the crowd, Death Shadow looked at Gong Sanhe with a smirk, taunting, âAre you not going to stop him?â
âStop him?â Gong Sanhe sneered, saying, âThe face of the Ancient Life Sect has already been completely lost by this old fool today. Let him learn a lesson. With the world on the verge of massive change, itâd be much safer than bringing about a major disaster later.â
Death Shadow grinned and asked sarcastically, âSo, youâre quite confident in Yang Xiaozi?â
âConfident?â Gong Sanhe was taken aback, cursed, and stated, âIs this about having confidence or not? Given Yang Zhenâs cultivation and physical strength, if he isnât killed at once, then who, in the Nine Dragon Que Flower region, can kill him?â
âWellâ¦â Death Shadow was momentarily speechless.
Gong Sanhe chuckled, looked at Death Shadow with interest, and asked, âIf both you and Yang Xiaozi lost your True Essence, could you withstand a few of his blows?â
Death Shadow was stunned, staring blankly at the Great Missing Sword on Yang Zhenâs shoulder, and exclaimed, âWhat kind of joke is this? How can these old bones of mine withstand such blows?â
Without utilizing his True Essence, Yang Zhen was confident he could kill Death Shadow with one blow, in fact, Death Shadow was even more confident that he would be killed by Yang Zhen with one blow!
Death Shadow swallowed, looking blankly at Duan Xingzhi and stated, âThisâ¦this lesson seems pretty harsh!â
âNot harsh, not harsh at all!â Gong Sanhe snickered, glanced at Duan Xingzhi, then at Yang Zhen, curled his lip, and shut his mouth.
Duan Xingzhi walked slowly, step-by-step, displaying his Mahayana Phase Ninth Heavenly Layer qi to its fullest. His mighty qi surged up, showing no mercy to his inner True Essence, as though he was determined to finish Yang Zhen with one move.
As the distance between the two decreased, everyone held their breath, too stunned to react.
At this moment, Hua Youyue and Han Yanâer both unexpectedly took a step forward, their qi suddenly escalating.
Everyone was surprised and stared in disbelief at the strange sequence unraveling before their eyes.
Being peak practitioners of the Mahayana Phase, the coordinated surge of qi from Han Yanâer and Hua Youyue was not the slightest bit inferior to that of Duan Xingzhi of the Mahayana Phase Ninth Heavenly Layer, in fact, it was even more potent.
Nobody expected that Yang Zhen would stand idly by as these two females sprang to his defense, without even attempting to prevent it.
Duan Xingzhiâs face turned ashen. He roared, his sword howling, as he pointed at Yang Zhen and shouted, âYang Zhen, are you really going to hide behind women? You coward, who only knows how to hide behind women, do you dare to fight me?â
Yang Zhen looked at Duan Xingzhi with wide-eyed amusement.
So, there were people capable of uttering such words.
âIâm hiding behind a woman, and how about it?â Yang Zhen looked very content, even a touch smug as he said, âI really donât understand what the hell you weaklings with the intelligence and strength of dirt are on about. Whatâs wrong with hiding behind a woman, especially when itâs your woman and sheâs powerful? Isnât that just part of my strength? Donât you hope to have a woman stand in front of you?â
Upon hearing Yang Zhenâs words, everyone looked completely baffled.
This shameless and disgraceful speech, spoken so boldly and even proudly by Yang Zhen⦠he certainly was an oddball.
After hearing Yang Zhenâs statement, Han Yanâerâs aura fluctuated, her face turned icy cold, and her gaze shot daggers at Yang Zhen, giving his whole body chills.
Despite this, what was most important was that seeing everyoneâs puzzled faces made Yang Zhen ecstatic.
Motherfucker, whether it was Hua Youyue or Han Yanâer, these rare beauties were a sight to behold. If he brought them to Earth, all those so-called goddesses and first-rate actresses would have to step aside.
If these two women were to walk on his left and right, they would surely make every man green with envy.
So what if he hid behind a womanâs back?
He, the Sao Saint, was happy about it!
Yang Zhen looked at Duan Xingzhi with a disdainful face and said, âOhoho, I know. Youâre not able to defeat both of them, arenât you? You canât even beat two small girls. What are you barking about? Come bite me. Hell, I even enjoy seeing your helpless and frustrated face. Itâs a fantastic sight, absolutely marvelous, and hilarious too!â
âYou!â Duan Xingzhiâs face turned as pale as a sheet, swallowing down hard. He was clearly on the edge of vomiting blood out of pure anger sparked by Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhenâs group was utterly shameless, each one more so than the last.
All the surrounding spectators were gawking at Yang Zhen in complete astonishment.
âFucking hell, Yang Zhen is truly Yang Zhen, even Death Shadow canât compete with his shamelessness.â
âWhat do you mean âcanât competeâ? Even if there were two Death Shadows and one shameless cat combined, they wouldnât match one Yang Zhen.â
âQuite so, quite so. Iâve truly learned how disgraceful Yang Zhen is.â
â¦
Constant chatter filled the surroundings, causing the face of Duan Xingzhi to change colors out of anger, his aura becoming even more threatening.
Just at that moment, Yang Zhen suddenly waved his hand and said to Hua Youyue and Han Yanâer, âLet it go. We wonât stoop to the level of that cranky old man. The guyâs mind seems a bit off, has a low IQ. Itâs quite pitiful. Let it slide, alright?â
Both Hua Youyue and Han Yanâer were initially taken aback but they nodded, retracted their auras and the Sun and Moon Double Shadow Holy Weapon, and stepped back to Yang Zhenâs side.
Boom!
There was a loud rumble as the aura surrounding Duan Xingzhi exploded towards Yang Zhen!
âBoy, you are the first to thoroughly infuriate me. Die!â
The sudden development startled everyone.
âMotherfucker, is this old bastard even thinking about saving face anymore?â
The crowd gaped at Duan Xingzhi, its collective eyes about to pop out of their sockets at what was happening.
Boom!
Yang Zhen had seemingly disappeared on the spot!
When everyone managed to spot Yang Zhen again, he had already appeared behind Duan Xingzhi. His Great Missing Sword was glowing darkly as he raised it, fiercely aiming for Duan Xingzhiâs head.
His speed was incredible!
âYoung friend Yang, please show some mercy!â
Gong Sanhe, taken aback, quickly pleaded for mercy.
