I'm panicking! I'm really panicking!
Yang Zhen was about to emerge from the ground to see what was going on, a deafening roar shook him so badly that he almost lost his way again.
No one knows what Heavenly Wrath things the Great You Dynasty did to utterly enrage Chiding Dragon.
A series of roars that pierced the heavens and earth resounded, and terrifying fluctuations of the heaven and earth's energy directly tore the earth apart, causing violent tremors. The entire giant mountain seemed to be boiling.
With a whoosh, Yang Zhen was thrown out by the force. While in mid-air, his expression changed drastically. He cursed and hurriedly rushed towards a dark place.
This mountain is riddled with traps laid by the Great You Dynasty. If one is not careful, even Yang Zhen could be trapped inside like a fly, along with Chiding Dragon.
Yang Zhen doesn't have Chiding Dragon's abilities. He was born to go against the heavens and earth. He can move more freely around the nodes of various restrictions, but once trapped, even if he imitates Chiding Dragon and roars, it will be of no use.
Fortunately, Yang Zhen was relatively lucky. He only caught a quick glance in mid-air and didn't have time to see the situation clearly before landing behind a huge boulder.
In this situation, Yang Zhen didn't care about anything else, nor did he care whether the rock was dangerous. He crawled in, made a small hole, and came out to observe the surrounding environment. What he saw shocked him.
The heavens were enraged, and countless Heaven and Earth Ferocious Beast swooped down from mid-air. After roaring at Chiding Dragon, they unleashed terrifying power, slamming into Chiding Dragon's body. Chiding Dragon now looked extremely weak, like a spent arrow, as if he could collapse at any moment.
Around Chiding Dragon, countless cultivators gripped golden chains tightly, controlling him from a distance. Clearly, these people dared not approach him even a step closer, or rather, they dared not approach him even a step closer now.
Yang Zhen frowned at the sight of the terrifying wounds on Chiding Dragon's body. The dripping blood seemed to further stimulate the destructive nature of the Heaven and Earth Ferocious Beast, who roared and howled as countless terrifying bolts of lightning descended from the sky, forming a net of heaven and earth.
These wounds, though seemingly minor, were insignificant to Chiding Dragon!
There were four people closest to Chiding Dragon. Among them were the two Half-Step Great Saint that Yang Zhen had seen earlier. The guy who had yelled "Get lost!" at Yang Zhen now looked furious and pointed at the two Half-Step Great Saint Yang Zhen hadn't seen before, saying, "You two old bastards, have you no shame?"
One of the old men, holding a deer-shaped staff, laughed loudly and said, " Huang Shixi, don't speak so unpleasantly, as if the Chiding Dragon was raised by your Great You Dynasty. What, now that it's ripe, you want to reap the rewards?"
Another old man looked at Huang Shixi with a playful smile on his face and said, " Lu Haike is right. Chiding Dragon isn't your family's. If you can come, why can't we?"
At this point, the old man chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I just wanted to take a look. I didn't expect to find that item. You can continue, continue."
The old man with the deer staff, known as Lu Haike, laughed heartily, glanced at the old man who had come with him with interest, and said, "That old fellow Yang Sichang is getting more and more shameless, but that's not important. Just like he said, we're just here to take a look. You guys continue, continue!"
Yang Zhen listened in stunned silence, utterly impressed.
These two old guys are something else! They can actually say such things. Their vulgarity is so refreshingly unconventional that it has broadened Yang Zhen's horizons.
The current situation is quite clear: Yang Sichang and Lu Haike, both Half-Step Great Saint, are obviously not from the Great You Dynasty. No one would believe that the two of them are not interested in the item that Chiding Dragon is guarding.
The idea of risking offending the Great You Dynasty to come and watch the show is something that probably only those two old geezers Lu Haike and Yang Sichang, would believe.
However, judging from their expressions, they didn't seem to care whether others believed it or not; as long as they believed it, that was enough.
Evil people will be punished by other evil people!
Yang Zhen suddenly thought of this sentence. Huang Shixi was so arrogant when he told Yang Zhen and the others to "get lost". Now, facing two old men who were both Half-Step Great Saint, he could only get angry and turn red in the face. He had no way to do anything about it.
Hearing their words, Huang Shixi's face turned ashen. He stared at Lu Haike and Yang Sichang, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, word by word, "After this matter is settled today, I will personally pay you both a visit!"
Just then, the Half-Step Great Saint beside Huang Shixi suddenly burst into laughter and said to Lu Haike and Yang Sichang, "You two have been tricked!"
"Not good!"
Lu Haike and Yang Sichang's expressions changed abruptly, and they hurriedly rushed away into the distance.
Yang Zhen was also startled. These people were indeed all bad; they could still set a trap at a time like this!
Rumble!
In mid-air, endless golden patterns descended from the sky, covering the entire mountain.
The terrifying air currents emanated a powerful aura, surging like a vast ocean. Even the roaring clouds in the sky carried terrifying energy that pierced through the heavens and earth, landing on the golden patterns.
To Yang Zhen's utter astonishment, the Heavenly Wrath, which was usually ruthless and indifferent to all family ties, did not destroy these golden chains. Instead, it descended from the sky along the golden chains, causing the Heavenly Power to surge and churn, which was terrifying.
"Damn it, what are you doing?" Lu Haike's expression changed drastically, and he rushed outside, but it was too late. He was blasted out by a thunderbolt.
Endless thunder, like a violent storm, resounded around the entire giant mountain. Yang Zhen cursed and hurriedly sealed all the power within his body, especially his cultivation level, suppressing everything he could, without revealing a trace of his aura.
They've gone mad! The Great You Dynasty has gone mad!
No one expected that the Great You Dynasty would do something so absurd in order to besiege Chiding Dragon.
Now, not only are Lu Haike and Yang Sichang, two Half-Step Great Saint experts, trapped in the Dragon-Locking Heaven Palace, but even Huang Shixi and another Half-Step Great Saint are trapped in the Dragon-Trapping Heaven-Locking Gate, just like Chiding Dragon, they have become turtles in a jar.
What made Yang Zhen's face change drastically and he curse incessantly was that he seemed to be caught up in it as well.
This is going to be interesting.
Yang Zhen's face was ashen. Damn it, these exiled guys were not only arrogant, but they were all lunatics.
Huang Shixi laughed heartily, looking at Lu Haike and Yang Sichang with a mocking expression, and said loudly, "Well, fellow Daoists, do you like the grand gift we prepared for you?"
Lu Haike and Yang Sichang unleashed terrifying waves of True Essence, their Dao Resonance soaring to the heavens. Streams of terrifying Dao Intent surged into the sky, their Dao Rhyme forming the heavens and supporting a patch of earth. They were temporarily safe and had no time to spare. They paid no heed to Huang Shixi's sarcastic remarks. They glared at Huang Shixi with fury, snorted coldly, and remained silent.
Huang Shixi's face revealed a mocking expression as he said, " The Great You Dynasty has been preparing for the item in Chiding Dragon's hands for nearly a thousand years. How could they not have foreseen that the two of you would risk coming here? Now, we two are trapped here just like you. If you want to obtain the item in Chiding Dragon's hands, you must first get past this hurdle."
"You bastard!"
Lu Haike's face turned ashen. With a deafening roar, he unleashed a terrifying surge of True Essence, his entire body seemingly swelling in size. He stood firmly against the Dragon-Trapping Heaven-Locking Gate- air, and sneered, "A fine scheme! If I, Lu, am destined to die today, I will watch both of you perish!"
The Half-Step Great Saint beside Huang Shixi, a look of disdain on his face, shouted in a deep voice, "Trapping Dragon Locks Heaven, Ascending Sun!"
roar--!
Roars erupted from all directions, and countless Blood Qi surged into the sky. The disciples of the Great You Dynasty who controlled the Dragon-Trapping Heaven-Locking Gate all cleaved their tiger's mouths in shock, and streams of Blood Qi surged into the sky. The violent lightning in the air became even more rampant, making people's hair stand on end.
Yang Zhen stared in disbelief, muttering to himself, "Damn it, we've really messed up this time. Such a spectacular scene would have been so much better from the outside, but of all people, we had to barge in. Now we haven't even gotten the treasure, and we're fighting tooth and nail!"
The problem is, even risking his life won't work. Even Half-Step Great Saint is as tired as an ant on a hot pan. How can Yang Zhen, a mere Heavenly Cycle Realm kid, possibly act recklessly?
Thunder roared across the sky, and countless Heaven and Earth Ferocious Beast charged wildly towards the ground, crashing down on Chiding Dragon with deafening roars.
Just as Yang Zhen was about to desperately try to escape, a sudden change occurred.
Suddenly, Chiding Dragon roared to the sky, and his entire body began to emit a terrifying blue light, causing the world to change color.
Buzz--!
Thick streams of primordial energy surged in from all directions, like a tidal wave, creating a thunderous roar that nearly made Yang Zhen's eyes pop out.
Desolate Heaven Sacrifice?
This Chiding Dragon actually knows the Desolate Heaven Sacrifice?
Seeing this familiar scene, how could Yang Zhen not be surprised?
A Demon Beast actually knows the almost heaven-defying martial art of the Desolate Heaven Sacrifice; who could withstand that?
Sure enough, upon seeing this scene, the four Half-Step Great Saint present all changed their expressions drastically and rushed outwards in unison.
"No! Quick, we must control the Chiding Dragon and prevent it from breaking free!" Huang Shixi's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted to the disciples around him.
A series of angry roars rang out, and the golden chains in everyone's hands suddenly turned blood red.
The next moment, a devastating shockwave erupted from Chiding Dragon in all directions.
Unbeknownst to anyone, amidst this terrifying explosion, a figure, resembling a flea, shot forward instead of retreating, hurtling towards Chiding Dragon.
Even the four Half-Step Great Saint shot off in all directions; who could have imagined that Yang Zhen would be such a madman?
At a time like this, being late to the finish line means certain death, let alone rushing in.
They're crazy, but Yang Zhen is even crazier!
A muttered voice echoed from the explosion in all directions. The voice was very strange, and many people heard it, but none of them understood what it meant.
"Take a gamble, and your bicycle might turn into a motorcycle..."
A group of people looked at each other, still wondering what bicycles and motorcycles were, when a terrifying upheaval began.
Chiding Dragon a deep breath, Heavenly Wrath, and unleashed a burst of dragon breath towards the surging lightning and Heaven and Earth Ferocious Beast.
Rumble!
The sky and earth changed color, the earth churned and collapsed, and terrifying auras of destruction nearly blew the entire giant mountain away.
Most of the cultivators holding the golden chains paled, coughing up blood as the chains in their hands dimmed.
Apart from Yang Zhen, no one noticed that Chiding Dragon glanced around, his scarlet eyes filled with mockery.
Yang Zhen, this little flea, clearly didn't catch Chiding Dragon's eye; he only glanced at her briefly before ignoring her.
Yang Zhen was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at the mocking expression in Chiding Dragon that was even more vivid than a human's, his mind in turmoil.
Clearly, everyone underestimated Chiding Dragon's intelligence; in its eyes, everyone present was a fool.
The things the Great You Dynasty had prepared for a thousand years were utterly insignificant in Chiding Dragon?
Yang Zhen is thinking of leaving!
It's become sentient! This Chiding Dragon is practically sentient!
Who could withstand that?
Just as Yang Zhen was considering how to leave this awful place, Chiding Dragon suddenly let out a muffled groan, his whole body staggering as he almost fell to the ground.
Yang Zhen looked up and his expression changed drastically.
On Chiding Dragon's back, a charred wound emitted a blood-red light, and with each flash, Chiding Dragon's aura weakened.
It's obvious that Chiding Dragon is injured!
Seeing the four Dao Body rushing towards Chiding Dragon again, Yang Zhen gritted his teeth, suddenly climbed onto Chiding Dragon's toenail, and leaped onto Chiding Dragon's body.
