No one ever imagined that the formerly arrogant Master Ma would end up in such a state. All people could think of was his haughty demeanor when dealing with Hua Youyue. It left everyone with only one feeling.
There are heavens beyond heavens, people beyond people.
Who could have thought that a youngster in the Nascent Soul Stage would possess such great skills? Using something called a pressure cooker, not only did he successfully concoct the rare Yuanhua Pill, but he made every brew flawless.
Just thinking about the phrase “everybody brew”, everyone present felt a chill down their spine.
The Changyue Tower was destined to solidify its foothold on East Forest Island. Of course, only if it could withstand the relentless ostracization by the East Forest Island’s Dan Society!
Seeing Master Ma in his distraught state, turning around to yell fiercely, not a hint of pity swelled in the hearts of the crowd.
While Master Ma’s reputation did stand tall on East Forest Island, it was because of his status. With his current behavior, how could he win over the crowd? He could only blame himself, as many even began to revel in his misfortune.
All eyes fell upon Yang Zhen, unsure of his next move.
Yang Zhen, seemingly unbothered by the stares, stared at Master Ma and said word byword, “Apologize!”
Apologize?
Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, everyone’s heart jolted, looking at Yang Zhen with disbelief.
Even in a world where the strong preyed on the weak, no one would push things to such an extreme limit. After all, Yang Zhen couldn’t kill Master Ma here, so why humiliate him to this extent?
Master Ma glared at Yang Zhen, his breath rapid. Suddenly, he roared, lunging at Yang Zhen and yelled, “In your dreams!”
Boom!
As soon as his words fell, Master Ma’s body erupted a ferocious wave of energy. His speed rivaled that of lightning, and a giant bear head formed behind him. The fearsome force unsteadied the crowd.
A practitioner from the Void Cultivation Stage, enraged, was indeed terrifying.
Everyone gasped, surprised that Master Ma, considering his status, would assault a youngster at the Nascent Soul Stage so publicly.
“Oh no, Yang Zhen has greatly offended Master Ma. He’s out for blood, no matter the cost!”
“Yang Zhen is too arrogant and domineering. He didn’t even leave any room for Master Ma. Yang Zhen is destined to die.”
“Didn’t Yang Zhen kill two practitioners from the Void Cultivation Stage with a single punch? He may not necessarily die this time around. If Yang Zhen can hold on, maybe Master Fan will stop…what?”
Seeing Master Ma charging at him, Yang Zhen was startled. He’d thought that Master Ma was indeed going to bite him like a mad cat.
When he saw that Master Ma was only throwing a punch, he relaxed. Energy surged from his body, under a golden glow, it turned the surrounding into a realm of profound light.
Yang Zhen, taking a step forward, reciprocated with a punch towards Master Ma.
“Stop!”
Master Fan yelled in anger. Just as he was about to intercept Master Ma, a shocked expression surfaced on his face. He stared at the punch thrown by Yang Zhen.
The dragon roared as Yang Zhen’s fist launched. A torrent of energy roared, colliding heavily with Master Ma.
Boom!
The two explosive powers scattered. Both Yang Zhen and Master Ma’s bodies flew back, causing cries of surprise.
Everything happened too quickly. The crowd barely had time to react when the two exchanged blows.
Amidst the crowd’s cries of shock, Yang Zhen, who was retreating, abruptly stomped on the ground. He launched forward towards Master Ma like a charging thunderbolt.
“Show mercy!” Master Fan cried out in astonishment. He noticed, though others didn’t, that Yang Zhen had the upper hand in the fight with Master Ma.
As Master Ma was retreating, a hint of fear flashed across his eyes. He gasped, “Impossible. This power. It can’t be…how can a Nascent Soul Stage have such a violent power!”
Seeing Yang Zhen charging again, Master Ma roared. His fists suddenly lit up with a golden radiance, like two savage bears charging at Yang Zhen.
Master Fan, his face filled with uncertainty, yelled again, “Yang Zhen, show mercy!”
What?
All those present were in shock. They hadn’t anticipated Master Fan’s plea. Could it be that Yang Zhen could kill a practitioner from the Void Cultivation Stage and…do it so easily?
Show mercy?
Yang Zhen smirked sarcastically, why would he show any mercy? He’d been waiting for this moment where Master Ma would get angry and strike him. As long as Master Ma didn’t bite, he was a goner!
Heavenly Demon Fist!
After the fusion of the Twelve Refining Blood Profound Skills, Yang Zhen’s physical strength had already surpassed that of the Void Cultivation Stage. Combined with the incredibly powerful Heavenly Demon Fist, landing on Master Ma’s body was almost certain to be fatal!
Hum!
A terrifying blast of air exploded from Yang Zhen’s hand. Endless blood qi converged into a dazzling dark green light and hit emphatically on Master Ma’s fists.
Boom!
Master Ma coughed up blood violently, his eyes bulging with shock. “Impossible, you can’t be a Nascent Soul…”
With a dull thud, Master Ma’s body fell to the ground. Much like a heavy punch, it weighed heavily on everyone’s heart.
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen with frightful expressions. Even if they had heard about Yang Zhen killing a Void Cultivation Stage expert before, it was far less shocking than witnessing it firsthand.
All around, the courtyard fell into a silence as still as death.
“What the hell!”
Yang Zhen suddenly shouted, startling everyone and causing them to look at him in disbelief.
Fan Tong was extremely disgruntled, his face turning pale green. Despite pleading for mercy twice, Master Ma was still dead, a fact which made his face sting.
After hearing Yang Zhen shout in surprise, Fan Tong’s face turned even gloomier. Just as he was about to speak, Yang Zhen’s very ‘apologetic’ voice came again:
“I’m really sorry, Elder Fan. After I heard your words, I immediately held back eighty percent of my strength. I didn’t expect… it was all my fault, my fault. I should have recoiled another ten percent of my strength.”
Fan Tong’s mouth twitched uncontrollably as he glared at Yang Zhen with a face ashen-gray.
Everyone in the vicinity was left speechless with confusion. After hearing Yang Zhen’s words, their backs broke out in cold sweat.
Damn you!
Only a fool would believe that Yang Zhen reduced his power by eighty percent, and instantly, at that!
Do you think we’re all fools, unable to see whether you held back or not?
“Bullshit!” Yan Feng, holding Master Ma’s head, angrily glared at Yang Zhen and roared, “You gave it your all! When did you ever hold back?”
With this, Yan Feng turned to Fan Tong, his face filled with misery, and pleaded, “Elder Fan, please serve justice for me. Yang Zhen made no effort to stop, he intentionally killed my master!”
Fan Tong gazed alternately at Yang Zhen, the body of Master Ma, and the infuriated Yan Feng. It was a while before he spoke:
“It… It was your master who attacked first.”
Yan Feng was dumbfounded. Silent, he gave Yang Zhen one last glance, grabbed Master Ma’s corpse, and walked away.
Fan Tong wanted to say something, but instead, he sighed, didn’t stop Yan Feng, and looked deeply at Yang Zhen.
He’s a monster, a real monster!
How did he manage to kill a Void Cultivation Stage expert with Nascent Soul Stage cultivation using only two fists?
Given time, Yang Zhen could definitely make a name for himself on the Nether State mainland.
Although this matter was over, the commotion caused by East Forest Island didn’t die down for a long time. Almost everyone heard of this incident, and Yang Zhen’s reputation on East Forest Island became unparalleled!
At the East Forest Pill Assembly, an old woman coldly hummed and stared at a young Practitioner, saying, “Go find out which kinds of pills Changyue Tower plans to unveil at this grand pill assembly. Also, increase the production speed of the Spirit Life Pill. We have to produce not just more than them, but also at a lower price!”
With the middle-aged practitioner gone, the old woman looked out of the window, lightly huffed and said, “East Forest Island isn’t so big that just anyone can come and go as they please.”
Meanwhile, Yang Zhen and his cat were murmuring to each other.
“Kid, will this crazy idea of yours work?”
“Damn it, what are you calling a crazy idea? You will know whether it works or not if we try.”
“You mean this…method. Can it really make my fame on East Forest Island even greater than yours?”
“Absolutely! More real than real gold and silver!”
