" Guangchengzi?"
Lin Ruochu looked at Guangchengzi with a look of surprise on her face.
Clearly, Lin Ruochu also saw the problem, and after a moment, an angry expression appeared on her face.
"Why?"
Upon hearing Lin Ruochu's words, Guangchengzi gave a calm smile, walked up to Yang Tiehe, and said, " Ruochu, we have no chance, and I am very interested in the Savage Wilderness Treasure, so I'm sorry, I can't continue with you."
Upon hearing this, Elder Guo's face turned ashen, and in a fit of rage, he was about to attack Guangchengzi.
Guangchengzi laughed heartily and said, " Elder Guo, I respect you as a senior, but do you really intend to fight me?"
Elder Guo's face flickered with surprise and uncertainty. Originally, Lin Ruochu's side was no match for Yang Tiehe. If Elder Guo and Guangchengzi were to fight, Lin Ruochu's side would almost certainly lose.
Seeing this, everyone present showed disdain and looked at Guangchengzi.
But what can be done about it?
The most useless thing in this world is contempt. If contempt were useful, people would just show it off, and who would risk their lives to cultivate?
Despite the disdain, Guangchengzi stood in front of Yang Tiehe with an indifferent expression, looking at Lin Ruochu with a harmless smile.
" Ruochu, join us. If you agree, I believe you won't be disappointed."
"You bastard!"
Elder Guo was furious. He stared at Guangchengzi and said, "They won't let us down. Yang Tiehe is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Can you be sure they'll still remember you after they've succeeded?"
Guangchengzi took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "There's no need for Elder Guo to worry about that. Besides, I invited Ruochu, not you, you old codger."
"You... what did you say?" Elder Guo's expression froze, and a violent power suddenly erupted from his body, about to rush towards Guangchengzi.
Yang Tiehe suddenly stepped forward, grinned, and said, "Old man, Guangchengzi may be a dog, but he's still our dog. As the saying goes, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. You're really underestimating me, Yang Tiehe!"
Seeing Yang Tiehe step forward, Elder Guo paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, looking at Guangchengzi and saying, "What a dog! Guangchengzi, you'd rather be a dog than a decent human being. Is this your ideal?"
Yang Zhen became interested. Damn, a Cultivation World of cultivation, and they still have dreams?
Guangchengzi's face showed a hint of resentment and anger as he stared at Elder Guo and said, "Old man, my ideal is to make a name for myself in this Great Wilderness World. You don't care what methods I use; when the time comes, you will all be kneeling at Laozi feet."
Everyone present was taken aback by the crazed expression on Guangchengzi's face.
No one expected that Guangchengzi would be so crazy, even betraying his own friends for the sake of his so-called dream.
Yang Tiehe looked at Guangchengzi with the same disdain, and said to Lin Ruochu with a smile, " Holy Maiden Lin, is there any need to continue this competition today?"
Lin Ruochu shook her head and said, "I said, we're giving up!"
"This is what it truly means to be a wise person who knows when to yield!"
Yang Tiehe laughed heartily, patted Yang Zhen on the shoulder, and said, "Kid, sorry, I can't give you the lamb leg, but as I said, I like you. If you really like this lamb leg, why not join us?"
Lin Ruochu was startled, turned around, and looked at Yang Zhen calmly.
Even a ghost could see that Lin Ruochu was genuinely afraid that even Yang Zhen would switch sides and join Yang Tiehe's camp.
Even Old Man Guo sighed.
Yang Zhen was simply someone Lin Ruochu picked up; none of them even know Yang Zhen's true origins yet.
Would someone like that, faced with the inevitable loss of the opportunity to reach the Mount Xiyuan, stay by their side?
That's simply impossible!
Just as everyone thought Yang Zhen would readily agree, Sage of Saunter Yang Zhen suddenly grinned and said to Yang Tiehe, "Sorry, as I've said before, I really Sage of Saunter you, and I find you very unpleasant. Now... now there's one more!"
As he spoke, Yang Zhen turned his gaze to Guangchengzi.
Guangchengzi laughed heartily, a playful look on his face, and stared at Yang Zhen, saying, " Yang Tianxiu, let me tell you, I disliked you the moment I saw you."
Everyone gasped in surprise, staring in astonishment at Yang Zhen and Guangchengzi.
Guangchengzi's face showed a hint of disdain as he said, "A mere Saint Realm cultivator, I really don't know what Ruochu saw in you. But even if she saw everything about you, it's useless, because today... you will die here!"
With that, Guangchengzi said to Yang Tiehe, "Leave this kid to me!"
Yang Tiehe nodded and said, "A mere Saint Realm kid, hurry up, we still need to guard the Mount Xiyuan!"
Guangchengzi gave a sinister smile, and the long sword in his hand suddenly burst out with a ball of cyan light. Instantly, the sky and earth changed color, and the aura on his body suddenly soared to its extreme!
A blazing sun appeared in the sky, dazzlingly bright, startling almost everyone present.
"Young Master Yang, be careful!"
Lin Ruochu's expression changed drastically, and she rushed towards Yang Zhen.
However, just as Lin Ruochu set off, Yang Zhen had already arrived beside Guangchengzi.
"Great sun!"
boom--!
One punch, just one punch.
Yang Zhen's speed was so fast that no one could react in time. Apart from Yang Tiehe, no one present saw how Yang Zhen punched Guangchengzi on the head.
Guangchengzi's head... exploded!
It burst open with a bang, like a giant watermelon.
Guangchengzi let out a scream, and a red light shot out from his mind, revealing that it was a much smaller version of Guangchengzi.
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
Guangchengzi seemed to have been stunned by Yang Zhen's punch. He screamed repeatedly, staring incredulously at his own body, before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
Apart from Guangchengzi's strange scream, everyone present showed a look of astonishment.
Lin Ruochu, in particular, stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.
Guangchengzi was killed by Yang Zhen with a single punch?
If it were Yang Tiehe, it might be possible, but that wasn't Yang Tiehe at all; it was Yang Zhen...
Wait, Yang Zhen?
All eyes turned to Yang Tiehe.
Yang Tiehe's expression was even more fascinating, a mixture of astonishment, surprise, horror, and excitement—a truly captivating sight.
"You... you're also a body-refining cultivator?"
Lin Ruochu looked at Yang Zhen with disbelief.
Yang Zhen grinned and said, "Body-refining cultivators are all spineless, but I'm not one."
"And you..."
"I am a Body Tempering cultivator!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Zhen leaped towards Yang Tiehe with a ferocious speed like a Savage Wilderness beast, and with a deafening boom, the heavens and earth shattered.
One punch after another.
Yang Tiehe was blasted away by Yang Zhen, and disappeared in mid-air with a ding.
"This Sage of Saunter is a body-tempering cultivator!"
Body-refining cultivators emphasize training, but Yang Zhen's body-forging method treats the body as Spirit Treasure to be tempered.
They're not even in the same league.
