A gust of wind blew by, extinguishing the flames on the Huo Lian. The man stood in mid-air, completely bewildered, his mouth agape, but he couldn't utter a single word.
The insults were incredibly harsh. Not to mention Huo Lian, everyone present had never heard anyone insult so fiercely in their lives, especially not a Half-Step Great Saint like Yang Zhen's words, everyone present could imagine that if Yang Zhen were outside instead of inside, he would definitely be pointing his finger at them and cursing them out.
But... this is a Half-Step Great Saint! Who in the world would dare insult a Half-Step Great Saint like that?
Yang Zhen daring; not only does he dare, he's still cursing!
"Damn it, so what if you're Half-Step Great Saint? Does being Half-Step Great Saint give you the right to bully people like this? When I become Laozi Saint, I'll sit at the gates of your Great You Dynasty and curse anyone who comes out. I'll not only curse them all to death, but I'll also curse your ancestral graves until they're emitting auspicious smoke. Come on, try moving one more time!"
Listen to this, listen to this! Is this the kind of language a human being would use to swear?
Everyone was completely bewildered by Yang Zhen's outburst, utterly shocked. Never before in history had anyone cursed like that! Huo Lian had even forgotten to be angry, his face utterly dumbfounded.
The Grand Elder trembled with rage. Seeing the bewildered crowd around him, he roared at the Nine Dragons Coffin, "You bastard! Arrogant! Utterly arrogant! Yang Zhen, do you think we wouldn't dare destroy the Shangyuan Sect?"
Upon hearing the elder's words, the surrounding crowd gasped in unison.
If Yang Zhen hadn't launched into a tirade, there might still have been room for maneuver. But now, in front of so many people, Yang Zhen has completely offended the Great You Dynasty. Even if Yang Zhen were to reappear, he would have no chance of survival.
In the crowd, almost everyone who knew Yang Zhen muttered to themselves, " Yang Zhen, in this situation, do you still have the ability to turn the tide?"
Along the way, Yang Zhen offended almost everyone he couldn't even imagine, yet he always managed to survive thanks to his many tricks up Yang Zhen sleeve.
But given the current situation, no one present could imagine what means Yang Zhen might have to save his life and avoid death.
Is Yang Zhen really going to abandon the entire Shangyuan Sect?
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's voice, almost the entire Shangyuan Sect cheered, and everyone became nearly excited.
Since there's no chance of survival today anyway, I might as well live life to the fullest than die a miserable death.
The thought of fighting Half-Step Great Saint made even some outer disciples of the Shangyuan Sect feel their blood boil.
Nine Dragons Coffin, the Shameless Cat shook its head with regret and said, "Kid, I'm not one to stir up trouble, but if it were me in this situation, I would have rushed out and taken them all down with one punch each. These bastards are too much of a bully."
Yang Zhen curled his lip, glanced at the Shameless Cat, and said, "Even if you're the one who started this trouble, it's fine. This ' Sage of Saunter' also thinks these people are going too far. Just because they have high cultivation levels doesn't mean they're so great. Just because they come from good backgrounds doesn't mean they're so great. I despise these bullies who rely on their power. It's only because this ' Sage of Saunter's' strength is still a bit low right now, otherwise I would teach them a lesson one by one."
The Shameless Cat was taken aback, looking at Yang Zhen with a strange expression, and asked, "How much longer will it take you to refine the Nine Dragons Coffin?"
Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "The progress is a bit slow. There are just too many Divine Sense imprints of the Nine Dragons Great Saint Nine Dragons Coffin. We've only refined less than half of them so far."
"Damn it!" The Shameless Cat was startled and asked in horror, "Then how dare you curse so enthusiastically?"
Yang Zhen sighed and said, "What else can we do? Go out and beg for mercy with tears streaming down our faces. If begging for mercy could save us, this Sage of Saunter could beg for mercy for a whole day."
The Shameless Cat paused, pursed its lips, and couldn't say a word.
Han Yan'er frowned and said, " Yang Zhen, don't put too much pressure on yourself. The Shangyuan Sect Shangyuan Sect has its own destiny. If its destiny is exhausted, even if you have the talent to defy the heavens, you can't turn the tide."
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
At this moment, a roar like that of a ferocious beast came, and a devastating, ethereal wave suddenly erupted from Huo Lian's body.
Everyone was startled, staring in disbelief at the enraged Huo Lian. He laughed like a madman, glanced at the Nine Dragons Coffin, and roared, "Boy, you're something else! You're the first person in history to dare insult me like this! Today, I'll grant your wish! You wanted to see how I break this formation? Well, I'll break it, and then kill all your fellow disciples one by one!"
roar--!
A roar that pierced the heavens and earth resounded, Huo Lian seemed to be engulfed in raging flames. With his fists possessing the power to destroy the world, he slammed his fists into the Heavenly Spring Que Yang Array with a deafening crash. The entire Heavenly Spring Que Yang Array instantly shattered into pieces, causing everyone's faces to change drastically and their hearts to be filled with terror.
This is insane! This is absolutely infuriating!
Upon seeing that the formation had been broken, everyone in the Shangyuan Sect turned pale instantly. In particular, Lu Chenghui, who was in mid-air, vomited blood and fell to the ground, where he was rescued by Gou Shengtian and others.
Lu Chenghui was merely a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator; how could he possibly withstand the ferocious power unleashed by Half-Step Great Saint?
All the disciples of the Shangyuan Sect looked at the shattered Heavenly Spring Que Yang Array in mid-air with expressions of despair, but their faces showed no sign of despair, only a ferocious look as if they were facing death.
Huo Lian Scythe laughed loudly, but instead of rushing down to wreak havoc, he stared at the Nine Dragons Coffin in mid-air, his face full of mocking madness.
"Boy, did you see that? The formation has been broken. What do you have to say now?"
Everyone was speechless, staring in horror at the Huo Lian in mid-air. Now that the formation was broken, the Huo Lian did not attack the Shangyuan Sect, but instead used words to provoke Yang Zhen Yang Zhen last time, trying to force Yang Zhen to come out of the Nine Dragons Coffin.
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, wondering if Yang Zhen would be provoked into rushing out of the Nine Dragons Coffin, a lazy voice rang out. "I only intended to provoke you, but who knew you'd be so cooperative, shouting so loudly. Good luck, old man."
Best of luck...
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately thought they had misheard.
Given Elder Huo Lian's terrifying status Half-Step Great Saint, killing the entire Shangyuan Sect would be a piece of cake. Why would Yang Zhen wish him good luck?
Does the Shangyuan Sect still have some trump card up its sleeve?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but chuckle. Yang Zhen was indeed Yang Zhen; even on the verge of death, he still tried to scare people. Forget about any trump card; even if the Shangyuan Sect conjured up a Half-Step Great Saint, could one Half-Step Great Saint possibly stand against five Half-Step Great Saint from the Great You Dynasty in this situation?
Just as even Huo Lian was somewhat stunned and hadn't reacted, an even more ferocious roar came, shaking the heavens and earth as if tearing the sky apart, causing everyone's mind to tremble and their faces to change drastically.
" Chiding Dragon, what's Chiding Dragon doing here?"
Huo Lian Lian's expression was incredibly varied; after hearing Chiding Dragon's roar, his face was completely dumbfounded.
Everyone was startled by the earth-shattering roar. When they looked up, a colossal creature rose into the air from within the Shangyuan Sect, instantly becoming so large that it blotted out the sky. Its scarlet eyes were fixed on the Huo Lian, and with each snort it exhaled, waves of air surged forth.
If one Half-Step Great Saint cannot fight against five Half-Step Great Saint, then what about one Chiding Dragon?
Everyone present was stunned by this bizarre scene.
Looking at Chiding Dragon, he looked exactly like someone who had been disturbed from his sleep, staring at Huo Lian as if to say, "What are you yelling about? Are you trying to see who can shout the loudest?"
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. The Grand Elder sneered and declared, "We've been searching for Chiding Dragon for so long, only to find him at the Shangyuan Sect! It seems even the heavens can't hold onto the Shangyuan Sect! All disciples of the Great You Dynasty, heed my command: not a single disciple of the Shangyuan Sect will be spared!"
boom--!
As soon as the elder finished speaking, a terrifying wave of energy suddenly erupted from his body, and he charged towards Chiding Dragon.
Huo Lian and the others laughed loudly, and almost simultaneously leaped up, carrying a violent shockwave, and charged towards Chiding Dragon.
"Boy, is this all you've got? You've given me quite a gift, Chiding Dragon. We'll accept it."
Countless disciples of the Great You Dynasty surged towards the Shangyuan Sect like a tidal wave. Lu Chenghui roared, "Disciples of the Shangyuan Sect, we swear to protect the Shangyuan Sect to the death!"
roar--!
A series of angry roars rang out, and as everyone watched in horror, a young and stunningly beautiful woman from the Shangyuan Sect group leaped into the air.
Beneath the vast sky, petals began to fall, and a magnificent curtain of light, woven from the petals, was formed once more, keeping the disciples of the Great You Dynasty at bay.
