On the Coast of the East Sea, on Turtle Serpent Island, the scholar who was currently grinding ink halted abruptly, directing his gaze towards Wanhua Island.
On East Forest Island, Elder Ci, who was dozing off next to the alchemy furnace, abruptly jumped, falling flat on his face, staring in astonishment towards Wanhua Island. A drop of crystalline drool slid down his mouth, forming a long string, before dropping with a splash onto the ground.
On Wanhua Island, Elder Gu, who was staring down the Great Master, his face displaying an unwillingness to admit defeat, suddenly turned pale and disappeared from the blacksmith’s shop with a loud bang.
Great Master snorted in laughter, “Even if you’re Elder Gu, you’d have no chance learning the Chaotic Cyclone Hammer Technique from me!”
Yang Zhen watched Elder Wang and his group with an inscrutable smile on his face, walking unhurriedly through the air while simultaneously pulling out a pair of pants, hopping on one foot as he moved forward, taking quite a while to work one leg through.
“Damn it, putting on pants while levitating — this must be a first even for me, the glorious Sao Saint,” he grumbled.
The impudent cat, who had somehow emerged from the magic array, was hollering excitedly, its eyes gleaming with delight.
Yang Zhen glared at it and shouted, “You should be guarding the young girl! Why did you come out?”
With a derisive laugh, the cat retorted, “Boy, the little missy is way stronger than you now. Does she really need me as a bodyguard?”
Yang Zhen turned in surprise and looked at her, immediately feeling gleeful.
Hua Youyue was standing gracefully. Looking at her through the magic array, their eyes met. Hua Youyue showed a gentle and stunning smile, then slowly closed her eyes, starting to restore her strength.
Feeling relieved, Yang Zhen turned back to stare at Elder Wang, causing Elder Wang to jump in surprise.
After the last few heavenly lightnings fell, the Heavenly Tribulation disappeared without a trace, but Elders Wang and his companions were all seriously injured.
Their predicament was different from Yang Zhen’s. This was Yang Zhen’s Heavenly Tribulation; they were just unfortunate collateral damage.
Although he practiced amidst the Heavenly Tribulation, it was partly because Yang Zhen was crazy, and partly because he was recklessly bold.
Even though Elder Wang and co. could practice under the Heavenly Tribulation as well, who would dare take that risk at this moment?
If Yang Zhen was only pretending and not really practicing, but as soon as he saw the four of them trying to practice, he immediately punched and stabbed them, they’d die in vain.
To Elder Wang’s chagrin, Yang Zhen wasn’t pretending; he was indeed practicing amidst the Heavenly Tribulation.
Did he not consider that they could attack altogether, even at the cost of their own lives?
At that moment, they were full of remorse.
At this point, they finally realized that this Heavenly Tribulation was far from as powerful as the one a Tribulation Crossing Period expert would face.
To practice under such a Heavenly Tribulation was a rare opportunity in a lifetime.
However, they were barely holding against the Heavenly Tribulation, let alone trying to practice under it. Even worse, they were on edge, worrying about Yang Zhen attacking them.
Even if Yang Zhen promised not to attack them, they still wouldn’t dare to practice.
Looking at Yang Zhen, hopping around while putting on pants, emanating a concentrated, terrifying aura, especially the roaring image of the dreaded Dragon Elephant behind him which was still causing some lingering dizziness, aside from their regret, they also felt an indescribable shock.
Just how talented was this guy, Yang Zhen, to act so recklessly?
Anyone else would have departed from their mortal coil already. But Yang Zhen appeared unscathed, approaching them with a cheerful grin.
“Yang Zhen, what…what are you up to?” The old hag asked, her face filled with suspicion as she coldly stared at Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen grimaced and said, “Ugh! Stop making it sound so creepy, as if I have some designs on you.”
The crowd was baffled by this response, Yang Zhen never seemed to be serious.
Conspiring dishonestly?
Seeing the old woman’s appearance, many people nearly vomited.
Damn, she was completely bald!
The other two people were still lying on the ground, shivering from time to time, apparently shocked by the lightning. Yang Zhen wasn’t worried about them attempting to escape.
Although the old woman had become bald, she didn’t have many significant injuries. At most, she had an arm torn off, a limp leg, and her back blasted by lightning—she definitely couldn’t run away.
“Tsk tsk, Divine Travel Stage is indeed the Divine Travel Stage. Even in this situation, you could still hang in there,”
Yang Zhen looked at Elder Wang, expressing astonishment.
Elder Wang’s face turned from blue to red, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Apparently, it wasn’t as easy as he made it seem. He glared fiercely at Yang Zhen and asked, “Yang Zhen, what the hell do you want?”
“What do I want?” Yang Zhen pointed at himself, asked the crowd, and said, “Guys, this old scoundrel is asking me what I want to do?”
The practitioners around burst into laughter. Elder Wang, who got his information from God knows where, came to kill Yang Zhen in high spirits.
One could hear his triumphant laughter from two hills away.
Now he was getting bombarded by heavenly tribulation brought by Yang Zhen and even asked Yang Zhen what he intended.
Even if everyone knew Yang Zhen was a wretch, they had to admit now that Yang Zhen could do whatever he wanted—no one could object.
Damn, these people came to kill you, and there’s a Divine Travel Stage and three Void Cultivation Stage practitioners intent on attacking together, wanting to kill you quickly. Would you spare them at such a time?
“Well, to be precise, I’m not keen on fighting or killing!” Yang Zhen’s voice came again, catching everyone off guard.
“What? Yang Zhen is thinking of sparing these four people?”
“Isn’t Yang Zhen being too merciful? If he sends them back, will he just wait for their revenge?”
What do you guys know? Yang Zhen is the most despicable. When he said he’s low-profile, something big is gonna happen. If he says he doesn’t like fighting or killing, you guys give it a thought!”
“Hiss! He’s horrendous!”
Everyone was cursing; they looked at Yang Zhen with disgust.
Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming looked at each other, puzzled by the reaction of the crowd. When Yang Zhen said he didn’t want to fight or kill, they were worried that Yang Zhen, in a moment of empathy, would actually let the four people go.
Damn, none of these four were good. If let go as such, even the surrounding people would not agree.
But why did the surrounding crowd, who clearly disagreed with sparing the four people, have an excited expression on their faces?
Then, Yang Zhen looked at Elder Wang and said, “How about this, I just trained my physical strength a little while ago. If you can take my punch, I won’t kill you, okay?”
After that, as if afraid that Elder Wang wouldn’t agree, Yang Zhen added, “Don’t worry. I won’t use even a bit of True Essence.”
Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
“Are you kidding me? Without using True Essence, not to mention a Divine Travel Stage, even a Nascent Soul Stage can’t be killed. Is Yang Zhen really going to let these people go?”
“It’s over. Yang Zhen is too proud and complacent. Clearly, he’s too confident in his strength. He wants to kill a Divine Travel Stage practitioner with a single punch without using any True Essence. If he can do that, I’ll call the bastard cat ‘Dad’!”
“Damn it, what’s that got to do with me?” The bastard cat got a fright.
Elder Wang’s eyes burst with light, pointing at Yang Zhen and said, “Yang Zhen, this is your promise. There are so many companions here, if you go back on your word, you will lose face!”
Hearing this, the bastard cat made creepy laughter and muttered, “He talks as if this kid ever had any face..”
