"Um?"
Upon seeing Hua Youyue, Granny Gu slashed at Chiding Dragon with her sword, frowned, and gave Shangyuan Sect a deep look. With a playful expression, she said, "I never expected that the small Shangyuan Sect would have such a talented disciple. This young woman before me is truly extraordinary."
The white-bearded elder, holding a long sword, snorted coldly and said, "It's merely the Celestial Phenomenon Realm First Heavenly Layer. It's already remarkable for the Shangyuan Sect, but it's nothing to us. Granny Gu out of a molehill."
Granny Gu chuckled and said, "An ordinary Celestial Phenomenon Realm First Heavenly Layer stage cultivator cannot support such a terrifying array. If I am not mistaken, this mountain-protecting array is the legendary Heavenly Spring Que Yang Array of the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, and it is not an ordinary array."
"What?"
Huo Lian was sent tumbling several times by a single dragon breath after being roared at by Chiding Dragon. He exclaimed in horror, "It's actually the Heavenly Spring Que Yang Array?"
Granny Gu glanced at the Huo Lian sickle and said, "That's right, it's the Heavenly Spring Que Yang Array."
Huo Lian laughed heartily, his face filled with wild joy. "What Heavenly Spring Que Yang Array? It was shattered by my single punch! How can this girl's Heavenly Spring Que Yang Array possibly withstand the people of the Great You Dynasty?"
Granny Gu shook her head and said, "As I said, this young woman is no ordinary person; it's best to be careful."
roar--!
The Chiding Dragon and shook the heavens, but before Chiding Dragon was fully evolved, it was no match for five Half-Step Great Saint. In no time, it let out a wail and was seriously injured.
As the aura of the Chiding Dragon gradually weakened, Hua Youyue also seemed to be struggling to support the entire Heavenly Spring Que Yang Array, and her face turned pale. The expressions on Lu Chenghui and the others' faces became worried again, and they all focused their attention on the Nine Dragons Coffin.
"Boy, if you don't come out now, this day next year will be the anniversary of the destruction of your Shangyuan Sect!"
Huo Lian laughed loudly and threw a punch at Chiding Dragon, his face full of arrogance.
"That's exhilarating! Fighting against an opponent like this is truly exhilarating. Kid, I'll give you one more chance. If you don't come out, I'll take my anger out on the entire Shangyuan Sect."
A series of angry shouts rang out, causing the faces of the surrounding Youzhou Continent to show expressions of pity.
"This is too cruel! Are you all just going to stand by and watch the Shangyuan Sect be destroyed, like I am?"
"What else can we do but stand by and watch? Given the current disparity in strength between the two sides, what can we do besides close our eyes when the disciples of the Shangyuan Sect die?"
"That bastard Yang Zhen, he's the one who caused all this trouble, and he didn't even show up when things came to a head. He's utterly heartless and ungrateful."
" Yang Zhen, get out here! How can you bear to watch your fellow disciples be forced to their deaths?"
"That... that woman seems to be someone close to Yang Zhen, a stunningly beautiful woman named Hua Youyue. I once saw her with Yang Zhen; she seems to be his Yang Zhen dao companion!"
"What? That bastard Yang Zhen actually watched his woman die at the hands of Half-Step Great Saint, and he remained unmoved at a time like this?"
Every time the disciples of the Great You Dynasty attacked the Heavenly Spring Que Yang Array, Hua Youyue's face paled a little more. Seeing Hua Youyue swallow back a mouthful of blood, everyone showed a look of pity.
Hua Youyue was pale and swaying, but her expression remained unchanged. She simply kept activating the Heavenly Spring Que Yang Array, repeatedly repelling the disciples of the Great You Dynasty. After a long while, she took a deep breath, looked at the Nine Dragons Coffin, and murmured to herself, "I... can only hold you up for a little longer."
Nine Dragons Coffin, Yang Zhen roared, and boundless waves of energy suddenly erupted from his body, causing the entire coffin world to churn violently.
"Senior, you're being too greedy. You want to be resurrected, but you're unwilling to part with the Nine Dragons Coffin. That's a bit unreasonable."
Amidst the terrifying, churning air currents, endless patterns of heaven and earth erupted completely, and Yang Zhen unleashed almost all of his power, clearly intending to go all out.
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, the Shameless Cat's eyes widened, and he grinned, cursing, "Is that so? Nine Dragons is really going too far! Kid, teach him a lesson!"
" Heaven and Earth Xuanji? Even the Great Saint cultivates minor arts? Open it up for this Sage of Saunter!"
boom--!
With a deafening roar, Yang Zhen's body trembled, and countless inscription powers roared wildly throughout the coffin world like vortexes.
Rumble!
The coffin opened wide, and various patterns lit up simultaneously. A golden pattern, ancient and sacred, exuded an aura of the Great Wilderness, sending chills down one's spine.
Within these golden patterns, nearly a third of the area had turned into a dark gold color, and even the Shameless Cat could sense a familiar aura clinging to it.
"Damn it, kid, didn't you say you'd already refined half of it? What's going on?"
Yang Zhen's face flushed red, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "This old man wants to take advantage of the situation. Doesn't he know who I, the Sage of Saunter Sage of Saunter, am? I was thinking of reconciliation, but now I'm willing to risk my life to get my hands on this piece of cake. Come on, old man, come out and bite me if you dare!"
puff--!
As soon as Yang Zhen finished speaking, his skin almost completely burst open, spraying blood in all directions. The Shameless Cat let out a strange cry, produced several jade bottles from somewhere, and said cursingly, "Kid, your Essence Blood is quite something now. If you're going to bleed, you should at least give me a heads-up. I could take a little more, wouldn't I?"
"Open it!"
Yang Zhen didn't care about that Shameless Cat, the scoundrel, and roared. A huge phantom materialized behind him, and with the roar, terrifying waves of energy shot out in all directions.
In the endless heaven and earth, there seemed to be a whisper. When Yang Zhen let out a big breath, the golden lines and golden light in the sky seemed to weaken by three points.
Yang Zhen's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily, saying, "Thanks! When you're alive, this ' Sage of Saunter' will treat you to spicy crayfish!"
Rumble!
Terrifying waves of energy came from all directions, like long rivers, frantically pouring into Yang Zhen's body.
The Shameless Cat paused in its act of collecting blood, then leaned closer to Yang Zhen and asked, "Kid, what's spicy crayfish? How many other delicacies from your village haven't you shared with me yet... Hey, kid, are you crazy? This much power will burst you out of your wits."
Before he could finish speaking, the Shameless Cat's face turned horrified, and he said to Han Yan'er, "Quickly, Little Dao Addict, persuade this stubborn boy. If he continues like this, he'll turn himself to ashes before he even refines the Nine Dragons Coffin."
Han Yan'er was startled and was about to speak when Yang Zhen's eyes suddenly opened, revealing a terrifying sight beneath their blood-red hue.
After a long while, Yang Zhen took a deep breath, looked at his hands, and muttered to himself, "That's the feeling. Damn it, the Shangyuan Sect isn't a place you bunch of idiots can just come and go as you please, Shameless Cat!"
"Yes, yes, I'm here," the Shameless Cat mumbled, holding up two bottles, its eyes bright, and asked, "What's up?"
Yang Zhen glared and cursed, "What do you mean, 'how to do it'? Of course, do it the most arrogant way possible! Go out and get this ' Sage of Saunter of Flame' the coolest background music. Today, I'm going to take on five of you!"
"Alright, I'm an expert when it comes to background music. How about Bluebird? Or... Oh my god, I just remembered, Bluebird isn't good enough for you. If you're going to use background music, use the best..."
