“Release that lollipop!”
The sudden, thunderous voice caused Luo Kun to tremble with fear and turn his head in astonishment.
The gathered crowd also turned in the direction of the sound, their faces filled with surprise.
“Yang Zhen!”
Luo Kun looked at Yang Zhen with an incredulous expression, a smirk appearing at the corners of his lips, “You even dared to show up!”
All those present stared in dumbfounded silence at Yang Zhen, who had suddenly appeared, unable to find words to express their shock.
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s voice, Lan Fangyue was jolted into shock, “Yang Zhen, why is he here?” she asked in disbelief as she saw Yang Zhen walking towards them.
Dong Lei and Lv Ping exchanged bewildered looks, chuckling bitterly, “This is trouble. Yang Zhen shouldn’t have appeared at this time, and it seems like he intends to compete with Luo Kun for the Destiny Fruit. Hasn’t he considered that there are so many Golden Core Stage powerhouses here? How could he possibly snatch it?”
Lv Ping cast an enthusiastic glance at Yang Zhen, and queried with amazement, “Interesting, what does he mean by ‘lollipop’?”
Lan Fangyue gave a bitter laugh, “Yang Zhen is always eccentric, often using phrases that others don’t understand. But despite being arrogant, he isn’t reckless, so why would he appear now?”
Everyone’s eyes were on Yang Zhen, all of them looking at him as if he were a fool.
Yuan Kong and his followers had been searching for Yang Zhen since they entered the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower. The fact that they obviously wanted to kill Yang Zhen and the peculiar circumstances of his appearance baffled them all.
At this point, almost all of Yuan Kong’s followers were present. Yang Zhen was undoubtedly heading for certain death!
As expected, Yun Jie, along with Zeng Bishu and Liang QiuShui, watched Yang Zhen with grim expressions, their faces full of malicious intent.
Ignoring their stares, Yang Zhen stepped up to Luo Kun, pointed at the Realm Treasure on the ground, and declared, “This is mine!”
What?
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, everyone froze, then erupted in laughter.
Especially Luo Kun, who stared at Yang Zhen with a stupefied expression, “Have you lost your mind? Everyone knows that this is the Realm Treasure of the first level of the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower, and you dare claim it’s yours?”
Yuan Kong stepped forward with a cold smile on his face, looking at Yang Zhen with amusement, “Do you have any proof that it’s yours?”
At this, the crowd burst into laughter again, their gazes mocking as they watched Yang Zhen.
Everyone knew that the Realm Treasure was up for grabs. Yang Zhen’s claim that it was his was simply absurd.
Ignoring the ridicule of the crowd, Yang Zhen looked earnestly at Yuan Kong and replied, “I have proof!”
Pro… proof?
Everyone was shocked, looking at Yang Zhen as if they had heard wrong. This time not only the crowd, but even Luo Kun and Yuan Kong erupted in laughter. Especially Luo Kun, who, with great interest, looked at Yang Zhen and said, “Oh? What proof do you have? Let’s all see it.”
Yang Zhen gave Luo Kun a furious look, “This is my thing. I can talk with it, and it will respond!”
Upon saying this, Yang Zhen had already stepped in front of the Destiny Fruit.
Luo Kun was taken aback before he burst into laughter, looking at Yang Zhen as if he were a fool.
The Destiny Fruit could talk?
Absurd!
Luo Kun was laughing so hard he could barely speak, “Fine, if it responds to you, I’ll let you take it!”
Yuan Kong, standing nearby, was speechless.
Luo Kun glanced at Yuan Kong and waved his hand dismissively, “Brother Yuan Kong, don’t worry. What tricks could a mere Foundation Establishment practitioner play?”
Yuan Kong thought it over and agreed, nodding as he laughed, “I too am curious to see whether this… Realm Treasure will respond to Yang Zhen.”
Luo Kun gestured for Yang Zhen to proceed. Then, with a quick glance towards Yuan Kong, the two of them sandwiched Yang Zhen between them, communicating with their eyes. As they did so, Yang Zhen suddenly let out a strange yell, startling them both.
“You scoundrels, coming here and trying to pull the wool over people’s eyes. Do you think nobody else sees through your tricks?”
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Luo Kun and Yuan Kong changed simultaneously. They wrinkled their eyebrows, feeling that something was off.
The people around them exchanged puzzled looks, unsure why Yang Zhen was suddenly hurling insults.
“Not going to speak up?” Yang Zhen pointed at the broken Divine Creation Fruit and cursed aloud, “Think remaining silent will do? Among the many brethren present, each one has eyes sharp like a hawk. They have long seen through your little tricks. Hurry up and scram, stop making a spectacle of yourself here.”
“You!” Yuan Kong and Luo Kun’s expressions changed drastically, pointing at Yang Zhen in furious anger. It was clear at this point, Yang Zhen was craftily lambasting them.
Those practitioners beneath the Golden Core Stage were stirred up, eager to applaud and cheer. The crowd was full of astute individuals, only their strength was lowly, causing them to hold their tongues even though they knew Luo Kun and Yuan Kong were up to some tricks.
Now that Yang Zhen was subtly admonishing them, exposing their shame for all to see, it truly brought a sense of satisfaction to the crowd.
Suddenly, quite a few people started viewing Yang Zhen with a different eye, he wasn’t as detestable as they believed. At the very least, he, a Foundation Establishment stage practitioner, was bold enough to step out and berate Yuan Kong and Luo Kun in this situation.
However, after the brief satisfaction, the crowd began to worry about Yang Zhen.
Under these circumstances, could Yang Zhen survive?
Yang Zhen was indeed reckless and bold. In front of so many people, he didn’t just unabashedly show up, but also audaciously verbally abused the two Golden Core Stage warriors.
Seeing Yuan Kong and Luo Kun’s faces turn liver red out of sheer anger, the crowd’s hearts were gripped with terror.
The terror of Golden Core Stage practitioners wasn’t something a Foundation Establishment practitioner, like Yang Zhen could withstand.
Unexpectedly, just as Yuan Kong and Luo Kun were flaring up in anger, gearing up to make a move, Dong Lei and Lu Ping were hastily rushing towards them, Yang Zhen suddenly smirked at Yuan Kong and Luo Kun, grabbed the Divine Creation Fruit, and exclaimed, “Adios!”
Fare… farewell?
Boom!
At the next moment, Yang Zhen’s feet suddenly erupted with terrifying primal energy fluctuations, a cluster of clouds exploded, and a powerful shockwave swept in every direction. Yang Zhen’s body disappeared from the spot abruptly.
The speed was too fast. From the moment Yang Zhen unleashed the powerful primal energy fluctuation until he soared into the sky, all happened in a mere blink of an eye.
Just as Yuan Kong and Luo Kun launched their attacks, Yang Zhen vanished from the sight. They hastily withdrew their attacks, lest they accidentally wound each other.
“Yang Zhen!”
Luo Kun roared, his eyes so red with anger that they looked as if they were about to burst. An overwhelming surge of fear jumped out from under his feet, his sword gleamed frostily, he rode his sword and chased after Yang Zhen.
Yuan Kong was also grinding his teeth in chagrin, following closely behind Luo Kun, even Liang Qiu Shui reluctantly made a move, a long sword suddenly sprang out, speeding towards the Yang Zhen floating mid-air.
“Not good!”
With an alarmed cry, Dong Lei followed suit, but he was too far away to block Liang Qiu Shui’s fatal blow.
Just as the long sword cut through half the air, bursting to the rear of Yang Zhen, Lan Fangyue let out a horrified yelp, her face turning pale!
Liang Qiu Shui snorted coldly: “A ridiculous clown!”
Just as everybody exclaimed in astonishment, Yang Zhen’s figure in mid-air suddenly began to flicker, in the blink of an eye, he left behind a series of phantoms. It was mesmerizing, real and unreal at the same time, looking substantial enough, casting a long shadow.
“Impossible!” Liang Qiu Shui was astonished, staring at his long sword penetrating one of the Yang Zhens, but not a single drop of blood came out.
On the ground, people looking up, craning their necks were equally astonished, stunned by Yang Zhen’s arcane and unpredictable maneuvers.
“He dodged that?”
“What… what kind of maneuver is this? So elusive, and the ability to leave a series of substantial phantoms while airborne?”
As everyone was struggling to believe their eyes, Lan Fangyue’s eyes suddenly flared with a brilliant light, she cried out, “Sky Crossing Void!”
“What?” Lii Ping gazed at Yang Zhen, lamenting, “So, this is Sky Crossing Void. It’s truly remarkable!”
“Yang Zhen, come down here you coward!” Luo Kun gritted his teeth, constantly snarling. The Divine Creation Fruit that was a mere grasp away had been stolen, it was enough to drive him mad.
Yang Zhen bellowed with hearty laughter, his speed mid-air became more enigmatic, faster, using Heavenly Tathagata Cloud Dispersing Palm along with Sky Crossing Void, he was as fast as a bolt of lightning.
“Stole it and ran away, how thrilling it is! Do you dare chase after me?”
“Yang Zhen, you’re screwed! Even god can’t save you now, mark my words!” Luo Kun shouted, his flying sword increased speed under his feet. Yet, he couldn’t perceive why the distance between him and Yang Zhen wasn’t shortening, instead, it was growing wider.
The crowd on the ground was left dumbfounded, staring at Yang Zhen, completely flummoxed.
How in the world was anyone supposed to steal like this?
“Amazing!”
Someone couldn’t help but murmur out loud, the crowd instantly erupted into a hubbub..
