There was no way he could leave, really. When Yang Zhen saw the bloodied man appear, he was so happy he almost burst out laughing.
Yang Zhen still couldn't figure out the scheme that the Holy Maiden Tianxuan had laid out over the past 30,000 years. He was just worried about not being able to repay the favor when this guy suddenly appeared. If he didn't deal with him, who would he deal with?
Seeing Yang Zhen rushing forward with such excitement, everyone wore expressions of absurdity.
"He's insane! Yang Zhen is absolutely insane!"
The Grand Elder muttered to himself, "To be honest, the moment this blood-covered man appeared, even I, a Great Saint, felt a sense of unease."
Fighting someone like that, even if he's just a bloodied figure and not a true powerhouse, would still be terrifying.
After the overwhelming suppression of the divine soul disappeared, the first thing the Grand Elder thought of was to leave this place as soon as possible, but he did not do it as decisively as the Yaoguang Holy Son.
Although the Yaoguang Holy Son eventually returned, it was because the Grand Elder and the others planned to stay and see just how terrifying this blood-covered man truly was.
If Yang Zhen is slapped to death by the blood man, then everyone can still choose to leave. As long as they are fast enough, even if the blood man is a Great Saint like the Holy Maiden Tianxuan, he won't have time to stop everyone.
The absurd expression on the elder's face was so intense it was almost impossible to ignore, while he secretly admired Yang Zhen's recklessness.
Before anyone could figure out who this person was, Yang Zhen just rushed up to him.
Is Yang Zhen really just a reckless idiot who offends everyone he meets?
Even though Yang Zhen offended everyone in the world, no one could imagine why Yang Zhen would offend such a powerful being.
Perhaps, for someone like Yang Zhen, offending someone like this doesn't need a reason.
Upon realizing this, the group of people were immediately awestruck by Yang Zhen's extraordinary Celestial Person. At the same time, the label of "madman" was bestowed upon Yang Zhen.
Since it's not like I'm the one who'll die, and I have the chance to escape, I'll see what Yang Zhen is capable of.
This is what everyone is thinking right now.
It's just... a real shame about the ice coffin of the Holy Maiden Tianxuan.
However, there was nothing that could be done about it. With the Three Lives Flower, and the blood-covered soul attached to it so terrifying, who could possibly obtain the Ice Coffin of the Holy Maiden Tianxuan?
Moreover, judging from the thoughts expressed by the Holy Maiden Tianxuan just now, Holy Maiden Tianxuan clearly knew everything that was being said.
Under these circumstances, no one would dare to make a move against the Holy Maiden Tianxuan.
Of course, except for that bastard Yang Zhen.
As Yang Zhen charged towards the blood-soaked man with the Great Deficiency Sword, the man seemed enraged, roaring like thunder, his furious cry soaring into the sky, "You're courting death!"
boom!
A terrifying bloody hand slapped Yang Zhen, or rather, it seemed to slap Yang Zhen's body; the speed was so fast that no one could see it clearly.
With Yang Zhen's current strength, even if Blood Hand's speed was fast, he couldn't let that bastard hit him. Before rushing forward, Yang Zhen had already held the Great Deficiency Sword horizontally across his chest.
An irresistible force surged forth, followed by a dizzying sensation that made Yang Zhen shudder. He was taken aback, and a look of surprise and uncertainty crossed his face.
This guy has incredible strength. If he were to slap the Grand Elder, the old man's bones would probably shatter. What could the Great Saint do? Under such immense force, he couldn't use any of his techniques. And the speed of this bloody hand was also extremely fast, making it utterly hopeless.
Seeing the force of that slap, the faces of the elders and others changed drastically. Clearly, they had also realized what Yang Zhen had realized.
This isn't just the terrifying power of Physical Body Sanctification; Yang Zhen Physical Body Sanctification, yet he was still slapped away.
Just as Yang Zhen, who had been spun around and staggered in mid-air, regained his footing, the bloody hand suddenly swelled up against the wind, and a terrifying wave of blood swept over the sky and engulfed Yang Zhen.
As soon as he finished reading this, Yang Zhen felt like he was about to die. He heard cracking and popping sounds coming from his body, which made his teeth ache.
The Holy Maiden Tianxuan has fallen silent and has not offered any assistance to Yang Zhen. Clearly, judging from her tone just now, if the Holy Maiden Tianxuan were to intervene, she would certainly not stand idly by.
Then there's only one possibility: the Holy Maiden Tianxuan is simply unable to make a move at this moment.
The blood-red man snorted coldly, and a visible ripple of power surged towards Yang Zhen along with his blood-red hand, which was swelling in the wind.
Everyone present was taken aback, their faces showing expressions of horror and despair.
If this ripple of power were to reach Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, even if he didn't die, he would definitely be severely injured.
Just then, Yang Zhen suddenly roared, and the Qiongqi Heavenly Void behind him Heavenly Wrath, biting down hard on the blood hand, shattering the ripples of power. The entire Qiongqi Heavenly Void also exploded into countless pieces.
The illusory image shattered, Yang Zhen spat out a mouthful of blood, but a nearly ferocious smile appeared on his face.
"Break for this Sage of Saunter!"
A roar resounded, and Yang Zhen's Qi and Blood also erupted. Terrifying Blood Qi burst forth from Yang Zhen's body, and the seeds of Heaven and Earth Qi and Blood and qi took root and sprouted, turning into towering waves of blood.
boom--!
A muffled thud rang out, and the enormous bloody hand was actually burst apart by Yang Zhen!
boom!
Yang Zhen landed on the ground, creating a huge crater, and was completely lifeless.
Everyone was startled, especially the cultivators with lower cultivation levels, who all scrambled and stumbled towards the outside.
The Yaoguang Holy Son's expression changed, and he darted away again with a whoosh.
Perhaps because there was no sound from inside for a long time, and the Grand Elder and the others had not yet come out, the Yaoguang Holy Son returned.
Even with his thick skin, the Yaoguang Holy Son, who had been the first to rush out twice in a row, blushed deeply and said awkwardly, "I... I can still come and go freely."
The elder turned his gaze to the blood-soaked figure.
Yang Zhen seemed to be dead. The blood-covered man let out a soft "hmm," as if somewhat surprised. He stared intently at the direction where Yang Zhen had landed, then roared and raised his hands to the sky. Instantly, the sky was filled with brilliant light and thunder. A series of Heavenly Dao chants suddenly appeared, deafening and shaking the souls of everyone present.
"What... what is he going to do?" Elder Jian's face showed a look of surprise and uncertainty. "Could it be..."
"He wants to condense the Heavenly Soul!" the Grand Elder said in a deep voice.
"He's condensing Heavenly Soul? Has he gone mad?" The master of the Holy Maiden Qingquan exclaimed in disbelief, staring at the blood-soaked figure in mid-air.
The elder shook his head and said, "What a madman! To actually come up with such a method, he's truly insane."
"What's going on?" Elder Jian looked at the blood-soaked figure in mid-air with suspicion and asked in astonishment.
The Grand Elder pondered for a moment and said, " Three Lives Flower, the Holy Maiden Tianxuan laid out a grand scheme spanning ten thousand years, intending to gather the soul of someone. However, this blood-man before us secretly manipulated her, breaking the Three Flowers Holy Maiden's soul-gathering scheme. He then used the power of Qi and Blood and qi to gather Heavenly Soul. Thus, regardless of whether the Holy Maiden Tianxuan succeeds or not, the ultimate beneficiary is the blood-man!"
"Why?" The Third Elder's face showed a strange expression.
If the Holy Maiden Tianxuan succeeds, what she condenses should be that person's divine soul...
Thinking of this, the Third Elder's astonished expression became even more peculiar.
The Grand Elder sneered and said, "Gathering Heavenly Soul —only that madman has ever succeeded in this throughout history, yet he suffered a series of heavenly Heavenly Tribulation while gathering Earthly Soul. In the end, he exhausted himself and died while withstanding all 360 Heavenly Tribulation. Gathering Heavenly Soul is a matter of life and death, a struggle against fate. This blood-soaked man is quite cunning; through this switch, it's not him who's struggling against fate, but rather the Holy Maiden Tianxuan or Holy Maiden Tianxuan person she wants to gather a soul for!"
Everyone was horrified upon hearing this.
Who... is this person?
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, a sound that seemed to be stretching came from underground. That bastard Yang Zhen, dragging his Great Deficiency Sword, crawled out step by step.
"After all this time, I finally understand what you're trying to do. But you inhuman bastard, why make things so complicated? Don't you know this Sage of Saunter's logical thinking is a bit lacking? Relatively speaking, this Sage of Saunter prefers things to be direct, like... killing you, you bastard!"
