“What?”
Two practitioners in the Void Cultivation Stage were taken aback, not expecting Yang Zhen to say such words, and for a moment, they couldn’t respond.
Yang Zhen shook his head with disappointment and said earnestly to the two practitioners, “With your IQ, oh, I mean mental capacity, you’re really not cut out for the dirty business of assassination. When the opportunity comes, let me teach you what it means to be a killer without feelings.”
One of the middle-aged practitioners burst out laughing with interest and said, “I’d actually like you to teach me this, but I’m afraid you won’t have the opportunity. You’re not aware of what you’re about to face yet!”
The old man snorted coldly, glanced at Yang Zhen, and said, “Kids these days are outrageously arrogant, thinking that killing two Void Cultivation Stage practitioners makes them lawless. They don’t realize each level in the Void Cultivation Stage is different. Enough, stop wasting breath talking and get moving. The patrolling guards will be here soon.”
The middle-aged practitioner nodded, and suddenly an overwhelming, terrifying aura erupted from them, the violent True Essence energy formed two ferocious phantoms.
Yang Zhen was taken aback. These two practitioners were indeed different from those he had killed before, no wonder they had dared to challenge him.
But if they thought they could take his life so easily, Elder Ci from the East Forest Dan Assembly had really lost his mind.
Facing the two rushing practitioners, Yang Zhen took a deep breath, opened his eyes wide, extended his neck, and suddenly shrieked, “Help! Murderers! People from East Forest Dan Assembly are trying to kill me!”
The rolling voice was like thunder, even more piercing than the ad called by a cheap cat, as if it penetrated heaven and earth, surging wildly in all directions.
!!..
The two practitioners were startled; their faces changed as they looked at Yang Zhen in bewilderment.
It was clear that they had prepared for all sorts of things to deal with Yang Zhen’s tricky attacks, but they hadn’t expected Yang Zhen to forgo using any power and start shouting.
His voice was really fucking loud!
Their faces changed repeatedly, and they exchanged a glance before the elder gritted his teeth and said, “Quick battle, quick decision!”
Boom! Boom!
Twin shockwaves erupted, rushing skyward, indicating their intent to kill. Since Yang Zhen had shouted, they were prepared to kill him at any cost.
“Is anyone there? People from East Forest Dan Association are committing murder! There’s no justice! No law!”
While exerting the Shangyuan Ancient Scripture and Dragon Elephant Prison Shaking Body like mad, Yang Zhen watched the two practitioners warily. They were unbelievably fast. If no one arrived soon, Yang Zhen would have to fight back forcefully.
Just as the two were about to strike Yang Zhen, he took a deep breath. As his fist was about to land, a deafening roar like a thunderclap startled the three of them.
“Stop it right now!”
Vroom!
An overwhelming aura swept through the entire street in the blink of an eye. It was so deep and violent, like gazing into an abyss, chilling to the bone.
In the face of this terrifying aura, Yang Zhen felt as if he’d lost his strength, immediately looking surprised at the newcomer.
The two Void Cultivation Stage practitioners were equally shocked, halting their steps that could have killed Yang Zhen, looking at Yang Zhen with gloomy faces.
Yang Zhen quietly took out Elder Ci’s island card, looking at the newcomer in the air with uncertainty.
The newcomer was a middle-aged practitioner, tall and strong, with a kind face and serious expression, exuding an aura of natural dignity.
The terrifying aura on his body was like the deep abyss, so deep that you couldn’t see the bottom, and carried a suffocating viscosity.
He stepped down slowly from mid-air; Yang Zhen didn’t sense any True Essence fluctuation. It was as if he’d always been able to walk freely in the air.
Even the aura of this middle-aged practitioner was too intimidating to be stared at, not just for Yang Zhen, but also for the two Void Cultivation Stage practitioners.
Yang Zhen suddenly shrieked and sat down hard on the ground, sliding back several meters. Elder Ci’s island card fell to the ground with a clatter, the towering word ‘Ci’ shining brightly on it.
A faked fall!
A perfect faked fall!
The middle-aged practitioner’s face changed. He approached Yang Zhen, respectfully picked up the island badge, returned it to Yang Zhen, and turned to the two Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses and said, “To see the island badge is to see Elder Ci. Don’t you two understand?”
“We…we understand!” The elder’s face was dripping with cold sweat, his complexion changed, “But Yang Zhen, he…”
Yang Zhen hadn’t taken out the island badge earlier, and he hadn’t suffered any injury. Even the previous fall was a faked one.
However, the elder couldn’t articulate this. A look of gloomy resentment flashed across his face as he fixed his gaze on Yang Zhen, full of outrage.
But who the hell would believe him if he said it out loud!
The number of practitioners who had arrived to watch the spectacle was growing. Now that this influential figure had arrived, not even ten Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses could have claimed Yang Zhen’s life that day.
Yang Zhen was wailing in feigned pain and pointed to the two Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses, “Elder, you must stand up for me. These two are from the East Forest Dan Assembly. I know, yes, they belong to the East Forest Dan Assembly. And they are so deceitful! They even dared to disrespect Elder Ci. They tried to kill me as soon as Elder Ci left. What would happen to Elder Ci’s reputation if this gets out? My life is not important but what about Elder Ci’s dignity?”
Yang Zhen’s melodramatic statement left these three and the surrounding practitioners in a stunned silence. Their faces contorted strangely, and their gazes towards the two Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses from the East Forest Dan Assembly were odd.
“To think that these two would actually dare to disregard Elder Ci, how arrogant can they get?”
“This fellow practitioner here apparently did not see it, but Yang Zhen showed them the island badge, and these two remorselessly attacked with terrifying killing intent!”
“I saw it myself, the two Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses threw a punch each, causing Yang Zhen to cough up blood. The island badge even fell to the ground. It was the patrol leader who picked it up and returned it to Yang Zhen!”
“Woah, so brazen! I saw it too!”
The two Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses from the East Forest Dan Assembly were left open-mouthed and speechless, their faces turning green with rage.
You saw what! Which one of your bloody eyes saw us throwing a punch each at Yang Zhen and injuring him?
And he even coughed up blood!
This… Yang Zhen, this cunning bastard, had no good intentions at all!
The two roared inwardly, wishing they could rip Yang Zhen apart.
A little away, a goofy-looking cat was lying on a rooftop, utterly astonished at what was unfolding before its eyes. It muttered to itself, “Oh wow, what a brilliant and perfect move! This guy…is ridiculously cunning! Maybe I wouldn’t have to run next time. How can I miss such an interesting event?”
Just then, a cold snort was heard, and the temperature in the surrounding air dropped abruptly.
The middle-aged practitioner patrol leader stared at the two Void Cultivation Stage practitioners and said, “If there’s a next time, even the East Forest Dan Assembly won’t be able to save your lives. Now leave!”
The two Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses turned to leave immediately. They soon disappeared into crowds. They could no longer stay here; otherwise, the reputation of the East Forest Dan Assembly would be utterly ruined.
With an ambiguous smile, the middle-aged practitioner patrol leader looked at Yang Zhen and remarked, “Elder Ci wanted me to pass on a message to you.”
Yang Zhen, perplexed, asked, “What message?”
“You should be careful!”
Aware of the hidden meaning, Yang Zhen laughed nervously and replied, “I understand, and uh…I have something to take care of, I’ll take my leave first!”
Watching Yang Zhen’s retreating figure, the middle-aged practitioner patrol leader chuckled, full of insinuation. He murmured to himself, “East Forest Dan Assembly, have your brains been eaten by a dog? Now you’ve not only ruined your reputation but also lost two Void Cultivation Stage powerhouses. Yang Zhen, this kid…. it’s not that easy to pick on him, right?”
