Upon hearing the name of the Great Saint Tianti, Yang Zhen immediately perked up and hurriedly shrank back into the crowd.
Another Great Saint! Such an unparalleled figure, all the people present combined wouldn't be enough to slap him, or even if they were, it would only take two slaps.
Although Yang Zhen shouted righteously, he didn't really expect the Sha Clan to actually rush up and attack him.
The Sha Clan who had awakened before him were all cultivators below the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Even the Sha Clan Elder, whose strength even Yang Zhen could not discern, had only survived a dozen or so Heavenly Tribulation. Compared to the Great Saint, they were worlds apart.
But just as Yang Zhen shrank to the little girl's side, wanting to tell the girls and the others to run away quickly, he heard a heart-wrenching roar, and a dark shadow rushed towards the Great Saint Tianti with a whoosh.
Yang Zhen was startled and quickly turned around to look. His eyes widened in surprise. "Awesome... wow... he just charged up like that!"
The two Shameless Cat and Flirtatious Chicken, were even faster than Yang Zhen and had already caught up with the young girl. They were also stunned when they saw this and looked at each other in disbelief. "Damn it, who gave this old man the courage to just rush up like that?"
The Sha Clan Elder unleashed a surging aura of Sha Qi, his fist coalescing into a fierce tiger that roared across the sky, carrying the power of thunder as it charged toward the Great Saint Tianti.
" The Great Saint Tianti is actually this heartless and insane person! The Sha Clan, heed my command! You must stop the Great Saint Tianti from stealing our Sha Clan's spiritual essence! We cannot allow the Holy Maiden's millennia of painstaking efforts to be destroyed in an instant!"
The Sha Clan Elder roared repeatedly, his voice hoarse and strained, as if he had an irreconcilable hatred for the Great Saint Tianti. The surging and turbulent energy emanating from his body made everyone's hearts pound with fear.
Even the Old Ghost Hei was startled, exchanging bewildered glances with Shangyao: "We never expected the elder of this Sha Clan to be so terrifyingly powerful."
Shangyao nodded in agreement, saying with lingering fear, "I am no match for him. As expected of the Shanggen Ancient Clan, he has actually comprehended the Heaven and Earth Origin to such an extent."
"I just don't understand why the elder of the Sha Clan Elder, a mere Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivator, would be so impulsive as to lead his Sha Clan against a Great Saint?"
"Yeah, this... isn't this just courting death?"
Within the ice palace complex, a terrifying figure emanating a dark aura roared deafeningly. Each furious roar, like a raging storm, surged forth in all directions with terrifying force visible to the naked eye.
Shangyao did not answer the Old Ghost Hei's question. His eyes were fixed on the Great Saint Tianti and the Sha Clan Elder. He said in a deep voice, "To be able to witness the Great Saint's might is our great fortune. This is an immense fortuitous opportunity. You must all watch carefully!"
Everyone tensed up, staring intently at the violent scene unfolding before them.
The world changed color. Whether it was the terrifying power unleashed by the Great Saint Tianti or the Sha Qi True Essence surging forth by the Sha Clan Elder, it all covered the surrounding world like a storm.
Upon hearing the Sha Clan Elder's words, all the Sha Clan tribe reacted and roared angrily as they attacked. Their eyes turned red, as if the Great Saint Tianti had once dug up the ancestral graves of the Sha Clan and slept on the bone fragments of their Sha Clan Elder.
"It's the Great Saint Tianti! This utterly depraved wretch not only pushed the Sha Clan to the brink of annihilation, but he also tried to plunder the spiritual essence that the Holy Maiden risked her life to leave for the Sha Clan. Such actions deserve divine retribution!"
"Ten thousand years have passed, and this bastard has actually reappeared! He truly is the nemesis of my Sha Clan. Since Heaven has not taken this bastard, then my Sha Clan will take him in. Even if only one member of the Sha Clan dies, we will not let this bastard steal the spiritual essence of our Sha Clan."
"Yes, even if it means detonating the spiritual energy of the Sha Clan and perishing together with this world and this bastard, we cannot let him succeed!"
All the Sha Clan were enraged, and they unleashed powerful waves of energy that surged towards the Ice Palace complex.
The overwhelming Sha Qi merged into a single, cohesive mass in mid-air, condensing with a deafening boom into a bizarre and ferocious beast.
This ferocious beast was a hundred feet tall, with three heads hanging on its terrifying body, all shrouded in Sha Qi energy, obscuring its true appearance. Its limbs were extremely long, reaching thirty to fifty feet. With a roar, its thick limbs unleashed bursts of violent power as it charged towards the Great Saint Tianti.
boom!
A tremendous force erupted in mid-air, leaving everyone stunned.
Yang Zhen stared at the Shameless Cat with a look of surprise and said, "Oh my, that's pretty cool. What is it?"
The Shameless Cat's eyes also shone brightly. After thinking for a moment, it said, "This should be the combined attack technique cultivated by the Shanggen Ancient Clan, which can concentrate the power unleashed by the race members to form a huge, violent force."
Yang Zhen was taken aback, then clicked his tongue in amazement. "This is quite impressive. Such immense power is probably something even a powerful figure like Sha Clan Elder wouldn't be able to withstand."
"It's not just that they can't withstand it; if this move were to land on that Sha Clan Elder the Sha Clan Elder clan, even if he didn't die, he would be half-dead."
Yang Zhen nodded in agreement, then shook his head and said, "Even with this kind of power, it's no match for a single slap from the Great Saint. Damn, let's hurry up and leave; this place is too dangerous!"
A wise person does not stand against a dangerous wall!
These are the words Yang Zhen has always told himself. Although they are not his exact words, and he has never heard them before, when faced with danger, the first thing to do is to run away. This is the only way to live a long and healthy life, and it is something to be emphasized.
Yang Zhen's words resonated with Shameless Cat and Flirtatious Chicken. The two had wanted to leave for a long time, and if they hadn't seen the Sha Clan Elder rush up, they would probably be watching the show from a mountaintop thousands of miles away.
boom--!
A deafening roar shook the entire underground cavern, startling everyone who turned to look in horror at the source of the power.
Before the ice palace complex, two violent forces burst forth with endless shockwaves, surging in all directions. Everyone was terrified, their faces changing color as they hurriedly scattered to hide, fearing they might accidentally lose their lives.
Yang Zhen cursed under his breath and tried to leave with the young girl, but she suddenly pulled Yang Zhen back. Seeing his hesitation, Yang Zhen shook her head and said, "This isn't the Great Saint Sage himself!"
"Not the Great Saint Sage himself?" Yang Zhen was taken aback, then realized what he meant and looked at the Ice Palace complex with a surprised expression.
If it really was the Great Saint, that roar just now would probably have killed a large number of people.
But now, although the Sha Clan have been decimated, they have managed to survive.
Clearly, Hua Youyue is right!
Yang Zhen's eyes gleamed as he stared intently at the ice palace complex behind the Black Great Saint...
The two rascals, Shameless Cat and Flirtatious Chicken, had been running around Mo Xueling and the others for a while when they suddenly noticed that Yang Zhen and Hua Youyue hadn't caught up. They were startled and turned around to shout, "Damn it, kid, aren't you leaving? Don't you want to die?"
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, slamming his Great Deficiency Sword to the ground with a thud. He waved at the Shameless Cat and said boldly, "A true man has things he will and will not do. This Sage of Saunter has cultivated for so many years for the sake of being unrestrained. How can I be scared away by a Great Saint?"
Everyone turned around in confusion, running and looking at Yang Zhen, wondering what tricks Yang Zhen was up to now.
Are we going to stay here and wait to die instead of leaving now?
The Shameless Cat and the Flirtatious Chicken stared at each other, dumbfounded, as Yang Zhen cursed, "Can't you speak like a human being?"
Yang Zhen flicked a strand of hair from his forehead, shouldered the Great Deficiency Sword, and said decisively, "You all go first, this Sage of Saunter will cover the rear."
"Damn it, kid, have you taken the wrong medicine? How could you say something like that?"
Yang Zhen nodded, turned around and walked away. "Mainly because this ' Sage of Saunter' thinks... we can turn the tables!"
