No one expected that the once high-spirited Grandmaster Ma would fall to such a state, but thinking back to his arrogance towards Hua Youyue, everyone had only one feeling.
There are always higher heavens and more capable people.
Who would have thought that a Nascent Soul Realm youth would possess such great abilities, using something called a pressure cooker to not only successfully refine the rare Origin Splendor Pill, but also to refine a whole pot of it at once.
The mere thought of the word "pot" sent a chill down everyone's spine.
Long Moon Pavilion is destined to gain a foothold on Donglin Island, provided it can withstand the Donglin Pill Association's relentless efforts to ostracize it!
Seeing Grandmaster Ma's distraught appearance, his blustering yet cowardly roar as he turned away, no one felt a shred of pity.
Although Grandmaster Ma is highly respected on Donglin Island, that's because of his status. Now that he's acted this way, how can he win people's hearts? He only has himself to blame, and many people have even begun to gloat.
Everyone's eyes were on Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, wondering what he was going to do next.
Ignoring the stares of those around him, Yang Zhen stared at Grandmaster Ma and said, enunciating each word clearly, "Apologize!"
Apologize?
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone was shocked and looked at Yang Zhen in disbelief.
"Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future." Even in the Cultivation World where the strong are respected, no one would do things so ruthlessly. After all, Yang Zhen couldn't kill Grandmaster Ma here, yet he still managed to offend Grandmaster Ma so thoroughly.
Grandmaster Ma stared at Yang Zhen with a grim expression, panting heavily. Suddenly, he roared and charged at Yang Zhen: "You're dreaming!"
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a violent wave of energy erupted from Grandmaster Ma's body, moving with lightning speed. In an instant, a giant bear head condensed behind him, roaring and howling, causing the surrounding energy waves to sway everyone around him.
A powerful cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm can be terrifyingly enraged.
Everyone gasped in surprise, never expecting that Grandmaster Ma would disregard his status and attack a Nascent Soul Realm youth in such a situation. Their minds raced in disbelief.
"It's over! Yang Zhen has completely offended Grandmaster Ma, to the point that he's willing to go to any lengths to kill him here!"
"It's all because Yang Zhen was too arrogant and overbearing, leaving Grandmaster Ma absolutely no room for maneuver. Yang Zhen is doomed."
"Didn't Yang Zhen kill two Void Refinement Realm experts with a single punch? He might not necessarily die in this battle. If Yang Zhen can withstand the attack, perhaps Grandmaster Fan will intervene... What?"
When Yang Zhen saw Grandmaster Ma rushing over, he was startled, thinking that Grandmaster Ma really was going to bite him, just as the Shameless Cat had said.
When he saw that Grandmaster Ma was only throwing a punch, he immediately felt relieved and his whole body erupted with a violent burst of Qi and Blood. Under the golden light, the surrounding world was illuminated by a dark light.
Yang Zhen, instead of retreating, charged forward with a punch towards Grandmaster Ma.
"Stop!"
Fan Tong was furious and roared. He was about to stop Grandmaster Ma when a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face. He stared blankly as Yang Zhen threw a punch.
With a roar like a dragon, Yang Zhen unleashed a surging wave of violent Qi and Blood, clashing heavily with Grandmaster Ma.
boom!
Two violent forces erupted, sending Yang Zhen and Grandmaster Ma flying backward simultaneously, eliciting gasps of surprise.
It all happened so fast that before anyone could react, the two had already exchanged a punch.
Just as everyone exclaimed in surprise, Yang Zhen's retreating figure suddenly stomped heavily on the ground, and his whole body, like a raging thunderbolt, charged towards Grandmaster Ma again.
"Have mercy!" Fan Tong exclaimed, his eyes flashing with horror. Others might not be able to see it, but he saw it clearly: in the battle between Yang Zhen and Grandmaster Ma, Yang Zhen had actually gained the upper hand.
Grandmaster Ma was still retreating, a look of horror flashing in his eyes. He exclaimed in shock, "Impossible! This power... impossible! How could Nascent Soul Realm possess such violent power!"
Seeing Yang Zhen charging at him again, Grandmaster Ma roared and his fists suddenly burst forth with a golden light, like two savage bears charging towards Yang Zhen.
Fan Tong's face flickered with surprise and uncertainty as he exclaimed again, " Yang Zhen, have mercy!"
What?
Everyone around was shocked. They never expected Fan Tong to say such a thing. Could Yang Zhen really kill Void Refinement Realm expert, and... and so easily?
Show mercy?
A sarcastic smile appeared on Yang Zhen's lips. How could he possibly show mercy? He was waiting for the moment when Grandmaster Ma would be enraged and attack him. As long as he didn't bite, he was doomed!
Heavenly Demon Gang Fist!
After incorporating the Twelve Blood Refinements Profound Art, Yang Zhen's physical strength had almost surpassed that of the Void Refinement Realm. Coupled with the incredibly rigid Heavenly Demon Gang Fist, if it landed on Grandmaster Ma, he would almost certainly die!
Buzz!
A terrifying shockwave erupted from Yang Zhen's hand, and endless Blood Qi condensed into a dazzling dark blue light, which landed heavily on Grandmaster Ma's fists.
boom!
Grandmaster Ma immediately coughed up blood, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets, and exclaimed in horror, "Impossible! You're definitely not Nascent Soul..."
With a dull thud, Grandmaster Ma's body fell to the ground, like a heavy punch landing heavily in everyone's hearts.
Everyone stared at Yang Zhen in horror. Even those who had heard that Yang Zhen had killed Void Refinement Realm expert were far less shocked than seeing it with their own eyes.
The entire courtyard of the Fan Residence fell into a deathly silence.
"Holy shit!"
Yang Zhen suddenly exclaimed, startling everyone, who all looked at Yang Zhen with suspicion and uncertainty.
Fan Tong's face turned ashen. He had twice pleaded for mercy, but Grandmaster Ma still died, leaving him feeling burning with embarrassment.
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's exclamation, Fan Tong's face darkened further. Just as he was about to speak, Yang Zhen's extremely 'embarrassed' words came again:
"I'm so sorry, Senior Fan. After hearing what you said, I immediately withdrew eighty percent of my power, but I didn't expect it to still be... It's my fault, it's all my fault. I should have withdrew another ten percent of my power."
Fan Tong's lips twitched violently as he stared at Yang Zhen with a livid expression.
Everyone present was dumbfounded, and after hearing Yang Zhen's words, a cold sweat instantly broke out on their backs.
Damn it!
Yang Zhen is a complete liar; nobody would believe he withdrew 80% of his power, and immediately at that?
Do you think everyone is stupid? Can't they tell whether you accepted it or not?
"Bullshit!" Yan Feng, his face contorted with rage, lifted Grandmaster Ma's head and glared at Yang Zhen, shouting, "You were clearly using your full strength! You never held back!"
At this point, Yan Feng cried out to Fan Tong with a pained expression, "Senior Fan, you must do justice for me! Yang Zhen didn't hold back at all; he deliberately killed my master!"
Fan Tong looked at Yang Zhen with a gloomy expression, then at Grandmaster Ma lying on the ground and the furious Yan Feng, before finally saying a sentence after a long while:
"It was... your master who struck first."
Yan Feng froze, glanced at Yang Zhen without saying a word, picked up Grandmaster Ma's body, and walked outside.
Fan Tong hesitated, then sighed. He didn't stop Yan Feng, but instead gave Yang Zhen a deep look.
He's a monster! He's a monster!
How did he manage to kill a Void Refinement Realm expert with just two punches while only having Nascent Soul Realm stage cultivation?
Given time, Yang Zhen will surely make a name for himself on the Youzhou Continent.
Although the matter was over, the sensation it caused on Donglin Island did not subside for a long time. Almost everyone had heard about it, and Yang Zhen's reputation on Donglin Island was unparalleled for a time!
At the Donglin Pill Association, an old woman snorted coldly, her expression grim as she stared at a young cultivator beside her, saying, "Go and find out which kinds of pills Long Moon Pavilion will be offering at this Pill Appreciation Conference. Also, speed up the refining of Living Spirit Pill; not only should you produce more than them, but you should also make them cheaper!"
After the middle-aged cultivator left, the old woman looked out the window, snorted, and said, " Donglin Island is only so big; it's not like you can just come and go as you please."
Meanwhile, Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat were whispering to each other.
"Kid, is this terrible idea going to work?"
"Damn it, what do you mean by a bad idea? We'll find out if it works or not by trying."
"This rotten... this method you're talking about, can it really make my name even bigger than yours on Donglin Island?"
"It's real, more real than real gold and silver!"
