Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat were both stunned when they saw the scarred young man.
For a moment, neither the man nor the cat knew what had happened, but Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat could clearly feel the intense killing intent emanating from the man.
Yang Zhen looked at the scarred youth who had suddenly jumped out with a blank expression, pointed to the Golden Road behind him and said, " The Golden Spirit Road you mentioned earlier, is this the one?"
Although the scarred youth was a powerful cultivator in the Spirit Wandering Realm, Yang Zhen didn't even want to know his name at this moment. The reason he asked was simply because Yang Zhen was genuinely curious.
He and the Shameless Cat had just come out when a guy jumped out and arrogantly told him that this road had always been here and no one had ever gone in before, meaning he shouldn't even dream about it.
After exchanging a glance with the Shameless Cat, the two of them laughed without giving the scarred young man any face.
The scarred youth's expression shifted between light and shadow. He frowned, seemingly wondering why Yang Zhen was so arrogant. After a moment, as if suddenly realizing something, he looked at Yang Zhen with a playful expression and said, "Kid, is this your first time entering the Spirit Road?"
Yang Zhen was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes, how did you figure that out?"
With Yang Zhen's acting skills, how could anyone possibly tell it was her first time?
Even if it were to enter the Red Lantern Room, which he had never been to before, Yang Zhen was confident that he could act like a regular customer for ten years, let alone enter the Spirit Road.
The scarred youth scoffed and said, "An idiot like you only appears on your first time entering the Spirit Road. As a cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm, encountering a Spirit Wandering Realm expert on the Spirit Road, instead of thinking about running for your life, you ask so many questions..."
At this point, the scarred youth seemed to remember something and changed the subject, asking, "Tell me, have you encountered any ferocious beasts radiating golden light along the way?"
Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat nodded simultaneously, both showing lingering fear and exclaiming in unison, "You mean that kind of ferocious beast that turns into a golden ball after unleashing its killing intent?"
Upon hearing this, the scarred youth's face lit up with unexpected joy. He took two steps forward and stared at Yang Zhen, saying, "You've encountered this before? What level were you at? You must be at the Void Refinement Realm, otherwise you'd probably be dead by now. That golden orb is still on you, right?"
Hearing the scarred youth's words and seeing the expression on his face, Yang Zhen and the Shameless Cat were both surprised, a hint of astonishment flashing in their eyes.
The scarred young man seemed so anxious about the golden ball; could it be something very important?
Now, not only are there golden balls on Yang Zhen, but there are also quite a few, nearly six hundred in total. The Shameless Cat has more than a dozen on him, which he killed along the way using extremely despicable and cruel methods, for which he paid the price of two tail hairs.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, pulled out a handful of gold balls—more than a dozen—from his pocket, and asked with a curious look, "You mean these?"
When the scarred youth saw the golden balls in Yang Zhen's hand, his eyes widened in disbelief—they were so wide they seemed to distort the scar on his face. He gasped, staring at Yang Zhen incredulously, and asked, "Where did you get so many Golden Life Orb?"
"Is this thing called the Golden Life Orb?" Yang Zhen glanced at the golden ball in his hand, grinned with a simple and honest expression, and then said, "I found it on the road!"
"Found it on the road...?" The scarred youth looked bewildered, then burst into laughter, a mixture of surprise and nervousness on his face. After glancing around to make sure no one was watching, his murderous intent intensified. He stared at Yang Zhen menacingly and said, "Kid, hand over all the Golden Life Orb you have, and I might leave you a whole corpse!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen's face suddenly showed a look of horror, and he stammered, "Okay, okay, take out everything you have first, and I'll only punch you once!"
The scarred youth's face first lit up with wild joy, then he nearly bit his tongue, coughing violently. His expression turned sinister, and a terrifying black Wu Guang suddenly erupted from his body as he charged towards Yang Zhen: "You dare to play me? You're courting death, kid. Don't you know how cruel the Spirit Road is?"
boom--!
A terrifying shockwave rushed towards him, and Yang Zhen was startled and somewhat surprised.
No wonder this guy is so arrogant despite his ignorance; he actually has some skills.
As the scarred youth charged forward, a buzzing sound suddenly erupted from his fist, like the low growls of a ferocious beast, and Yang Zhen slapped the scarred youth.
Snap!
A crisp sound came from the scarred youth's shiny forehead, and a strange surge of power erupted. As if a giant hammer had smashed into his head, the scarred youth staggered and fell to the ground, his head burying itself into the rocks with a loud thud.
Almost instantly, the scarred youth pulled his head out of the rocks again, looked up at Yang Zhen with a horrified and incredulous expression, and cried out, "Impossible!"
How is that possible?
A cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm, in a single exchange, actually knocked him down with just one slap.
Even if this story gets out, he still feels like he's in a dream, even though he experienced it firsthand.
If it weren't for the excruciating pain shooting through his forehead and the blood trickling down his cheek into his mouth, he wouldn't have believed it was real.
Yang Zhen slowly put away the Golden Life Orb, looked at the scarred youth, and said, "I suddenly regret it. One punch and you might be dead. I don't want to kill you!"
"Damn it!" The scarred youth roared like thunder, leaping up from the ground like a toad and charging towards Yang Zhen, a long sword gleaming with Wu Guang light now in his hand.
roar!
A roar rang out, and a ferocious beast resembling a wild bull materialized behind the scarred youth. The longsword in its hand shone brightly with dark Wu Guang, emitting a series of clanging sounds, as it thrust towards Yang Zhen.
Snap!
What awaited the scarred youth was not a sword piercing Yang Zhen's heart, but a voice both strange and familiar, and a sharp pain in his forehead that was exactly the same as the one he had experienced.
With a muffled thud, the scarred youth's head sank into the rocks again, completely stunning him. Pulling his head out, he muttered repeatedly, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! You're not at the Void Refinement Realm Void Refinement Realm don't possess such terrifying speed and strength."
Before Yang Zhen could speak, the scarred youth bent his knees, braced his hands on the ground, and leaped up like a toad, charging towards Yang Zhen.
However, this time Yang Zhen did not slap the scarred youth on the forehead. The scarred youth looked furious and sinister, but as he leaped up, he pushed forward with both legs and miraculously somersaulted in mid-air, switching his head and feet, and rushed away into the distance.
"Damn it, he's trying to run away!" the Shameless Cat cursed, his face full of anger.
Suddenly, a cloud of white mist erupted beneath Yang Zhen's feet, and he vanished from his spot like a ghost, leaving behind a series of afterimages. Traversing the Void in Midair and arrived in front of the scarred youth, delivering another unremarkable slap.
When the scarred youth pulled his head out of the ground for the third time, he had completely lost the will to escape. He stared blankly at Yang Zhen with an expression of utter disbelief.
Yang Zhen squatted down in front of the scarred youth, staring at him as he said, "I'll ask, you answer. If you can't answer, or if this ' Sage of Saunter' thinks you're wrong, this ' Sage of Saunter ' will leave you hanging right here."
At this point, Yang Zhen, observing the scarred youth's bewildered expression, slowly said, "Don't worry, I have a formation. Although it's not particularly powerful, it's enough to ensure you can't pull yourself out again."
The scarred youth's expression changed, and he said angrily, "You... you... are you a devil?"
Tear it apart!
A tearing sound rang out, and Yang Zhen ripped most of the clothes off the scarred youth's body.
The scarred youth hurriedly covered his body, his expression horrified, his face changing drastically as he cried out, "W-what do you want to do?"
