Yang Zhen decided to strike first!
Regardless of whether this Deadpool is from the Mara Palace or the Mara Sect, he followed us all the way here, so he definitely doesn't have good intentions. He's either looking for revenge against Yang Zhen or he's after the Heavenly Secret Lock.
Regardless of their motives, Yang Zhen couldn't accept it, and Yang Zhen understood that these people were very likely after him.
As Yang Zhen followed Gong Sanhe and the other two into the canyon, he took advantage of their inattention to throw a number of array plates on the ground. These array plates were all made by Yang Zhen when his cultivation level was relatively low, and some were looted. They had not yet been put to use.
Suppressing his cultivation level doesn't mean Yang Zhen is constantly wasting his time with low cultivation. In fact, Yang Zhen's realm has always been much higher than that of cultivators of the same level, even higher than those of two or three cultivation levels.
Sometimes, the concept of cultivation level is like an intellectual advantage; it can be very effective against cultivators with higher cultivation levels than Yang Zhen.
Furthermore, Yang Zhen usually resorts to force when facing powerful cultivators. The Dragon Elephant Prison-Suppressing Physique isn't for physical fitness; if Yang Zhen were to deliver a punch, it could be fatal.
Gong Sanhe seemed to have seen Yang Zhen throw the array plate by chance. After all, his cultivation level was high enough that he could sense even the slightest fluctuation of True Essence in the surrounding world.
Ding Chun and Wen Yuning didn't seem to notice anything amiss, but they glanced back at Yang Zhen with strange expressions. Yang Zhen looked up at the sky, seemingly unconcerned, leaving the two of them completely bewildered.
Gong Sanhe seemed to think Yang Zhen was being overly cautious, and said with a smile, "Young friend Li, there's no need to be so careful. As I just said, the people of the Mara Sect won't attack us on their own initiative... you bastard!"
A dark shadow flashed past Yang Zhen, a strange, gleaming weapon shooting towards him with a nauseating stench, reaching Yang Zhen's neck in the blink of an eye.
Yang Zhen was startled. "Damn it, so this is why they won't attack us first?"
" One Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch!"
Yang Zhen's eyes widened as he roared, startling everyone present.
Deadpool moved quickly, launching another sneak attack. Before Gong Sanhe could even reach Yang Zhen, Deadpool's weapon was already piercing Yang Zhen's neck, with time to pull it out and stab him again.
However, to everyone's surprise, Yang Zhen was even faster. His two hands left a series of afterimages in front of his chest, like a thousand-armed Buddha, and with a snap, he grabbed Deadpool's wrist. His other hand flicked Deadpool's weapon-wielding hand.
Click!
Two crisp sounds, like bones breaking, rang out. Yes, two sounds. In his excitement, Yang Zhen used too much force and snapped Deadpool's hand, breaking the bone.
Immediately following was a muffled groan. Deadpool staggered backward, dropping his weapon to the ground. He instinctively leaped into the air, trying to escape, but Yang Zhen grabbed his ankle and slammed him to the ground with a thud.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. It wasn't until Yang Zhen had his bare hands on the blade and pinned the Deadpool to the ground that Gong Sanhe rushed to Yang Zhen's side, and only then did he finish uttering that curse.
Ding Chun and Wen Yuning cried out in surprise, their longswords clanging as they looked around warily.
Rumble!
Terrifying shockwaves erupted, turning the surroundings into chaos. Endless dust billowed into the sky, and mist gradually rose, obscuring the surrounding environment.
Countless Deadpool auras appeared around them, startling Yang Zhen: "Damn, so many?"
Now Yang Zhen was starting to doubt whether these Deadpools were really after him.
Why send so many people to kill us instead of properly searching for our heritage in such a mysterious High Antiquity Ruins?
What a deep grudge this is!
Gong Sanhe roared, "I am Gong Sanhe of the Ancient Life Sect Gong Sanhe. What you are doing is going too far!"
Before the death servants could reply, Gong Sanhe unleashed a terrifying burst of True Essence, which swept across the heavens and earth, propelling him into the air.
Yang Zhen cautiously observed his surroundings. In this state, the Great Deficiency Sword seemed rather cumbersome. Given Deadpool's terrifying speed, only fist techniques and other body techniques were most suitable.
A cold snort came from mid-air, unusually muffled. Yang Zhen thought it was Gong Sanhe who made it, but unexpectedly, Gong Sanhe's words followed immediately. " Death Shadow, I didn't expect you to come too. What, finally couldn't resist making a move and wanting to kill this old man?"
A deep, hoarse voice came. " Gong Sanhe, I didn't expect to meet you again so soon. What a fine disciple your Ancient Life Sect has produced! Killing without a word. And that's not all. I have some doubts. How exactly did your disciple torture and kill my people, to the point that he risked his life to use the chains...? What?"
Before the Shadow of Death Shadow could finish speaking, the surroundings underwent a dramatic transformation.
Yang Zhen has activated the formation plate!
A terrifying shockwave swept in, instantly dispersing the dust that had blotted out the sky. Even the lingering mist in the air slowly disappeared, leaving everything clear.
Yang Zhen remained calmly in place, staring at the twenty-odd death servants in mid-air, clicking his tongue in amazement. "Damn, one, two, three... twenty-five death servants, plus a Peak Mahayana Realm expert, they really have money to burn, how many experience points must that be?"
The crowd clearly didn't understand what Yang Zhen was saying, but the group of Deadpools were exposed to the public without warning, engaging in all sorts of sneaky and furtive actions, which was a bit awkward. Yang Zhen even saw a Voldemort, who was carrying a weapon in his mouth and using his hands and feet to approach him, with his butt sticking out, at a distance of about three meters.
Rumble!
The violent shockwave in mid-air made Death Shadow and Gong Sanhe pale, staring at Yang Zhen in disbelief, exclaiming in unison, "A Saint-level array plate?"
Who would have thought that Yang Zhen would actually abandon a Saint-level array plate just because he was passing by? This... Seeing Gong Sanhe and the Death Shadow with their complex, pale, shocked, and dumbfounded expressions, they were clearly about to curse.
Yang Zhen didn't care about anything he was willing to give up; nothing was more important than his life. He hadn't expected that so many Yang Zhen would come at once, and most of them were at the Mahayana Realm stage.
Such a terrifying force, practically invincible in North Isle, came here just to kill him?
Deadpool stared coldly at Gong Sanhe and asked, "This person is not from the Ancient Life Sect?"
Gong Sanhe shook his head, slowly landed on the ground, and stared at Yang Zhen and Deadpool, saying, "What's going on here? Do you two have a grudge?"
"No!"
Of course!
Yang Zhen and Deadpool spoke in unison, especially Deadpool, whose face was cold and who was practically gritting his teeth as he spoke.
Upon hearing Deadpool's words, Yang Zhen immediately flew into a rage, pointing at Sage of Saunter and cursing, "Damn it, you inhuman monster, explain to me right now how I, this Sage of Saunter, have offended Motorola?"
When Yang Zhen got angry, he didn't care about his status anymore. He stared at the Deadpool leader, and if he dared to say a single word, Yang Zhen would smash him into a walnut with one punch!
The Death Shadow seemed to sense Yang Zhen's exasperation and coldly snorted, "Those afflicted by the Soul Chain Technique must be killed!"
"Roar!"
A series of low growls echoed, and the undead servants within the formation, like ferocious beasts, stared at Yang Zhen and growled incessantly.
"What?"
Gong Sanhe looked at Yang Zhen with shock and astonishment. "You've been hit by the Soul Chain Technique? When?"
Yang Zhen was speechless and recounted his encounter with the Deadpool when he came in.
