Aside from the people of the Shangyuan Sect, no one expected that what emerged from the Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment was not the Nine Dragons Great Saint, but Yang Zhen!
How is that possible?
Such terrifying Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment so powerful that even Half-Step Great Saint cannot survive within it. That trace of Heaven and Earth Qi and Blood can destroy all living beings. Under the terrifying might of heaven, it is almost the natural enemy of any living being.
If Yang Zhen were an Emperor Realm expert, it wouldn't be surprising for anyone that he could survive the Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment. However, Yang Zhen is still a long way from being Emperor Realm expert. How could someone with only the cultivation of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Heavenly Layer possibly survive the Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment?
Only then did the Grand Elder and Granny Gu realize that the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Heavenly Layer cultivation that erupted from the Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment was not due to the Nine Dragons Great Saint's decline in cultivation after being injured, but rather the full strength of that bastard Yang Zhen.
Thinking of their full strength, the Grand Elder and Granny Gu, who had already turned to run away, suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at Yang Zhen with grim expressions. Without saying a word, they rushed forward and each took a sword to finish off Yang Zhen.
It's true that the two of them are no match for the Nine Dragons Great Saint, but killing Yang Zhen, who Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Heavenly Layer, would be as easy as turning one's hand!
Since it was Yang Zhen who emerged from the Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment, it means that the Nine Dragons Great Saint did not enter the Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment. Perhaps he was not injured and was cultivating in seclusion at the Shangyuan Sect.
It wouldn't be difficult for a Saint Realm expert to kill two Half-Step Great Saint, but it would take time. During that time, the Grand Elder and Granny Gu would have enough time to kill Yang Zhen.
Although doing so put the two of them in great danger, they had to kill Yang Zhen, no joke! The two rushed over to kill the Saint, but instead of killing him, they were scared away as soon as Yang Zhen showed his face. If word got out, the two of them would have nowhere to hide their shame.
Therefore, the Shangyuan Sect can continue to exist, but the Nine Dragons Great Saint Sage should forget about it. Yang Zhen must die!
boom--!
A deafening roar resounded as the Grand Elder and Granny Gu unleashed their full power. The entire surrounding space became violent, with countless sword blades flying everywhere. The violent power, like the might of heaven, enveloped Yang Zhen.
" Yang Zhen, although I don't know how you managed to survive the Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment, I can understand that it must have been the guidance and protection of the Nine Dragons Great Saint. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't have survived two breaths in the Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment. But so what? If we can't kill a Saint today, we'll take your life and see how you survive the combined attack of the two of us."
With a single sword strike, the world changed color. The Grand Elder snorted coldly, sheathed his sword, and stood there, his words revealing disdain and sternness towards Yang Zhen.
With such a ferocious attack, and Yang Zhen having just successfully transcended his tribulation, let alone a cultivator at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm Ninth Heavenly Layer, even Half-Step Great Saint would have no hope of survival.
Upon hearing this, everyone around gasped, and then they all understood why Yang Zhen was able to survive the Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment unscathed. It turned out that it was all thanks to the protection of a Saint Realm expert. No wonder Yang Zhen was able to overcome the Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment; such a situation was truly enviable.
Now no one cares about the Elder and Granny Gu's predicament anymore. Everyone is watching the raging sword blades in the Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment. What good is the protection of the Nine Dragons Great Saint? He just successfully passed the tribulation, and the Nine Dragons Great Saint isn't here. Yang Zhen is still doomed.
For a moment, many people showed expressions of regret, but most cultivators were gloating.
Yang Zhen, that bastard, has offended far too many people. Countless people present are secretly Niannian for Yang Zhen death. How could they not be happy to hear the Grand Elder's words?
A cold smile flashed across Granny Gu's face as she sheathed her sword, glanced at the Grand Elder, and said in a deep voice, "Don't linger in battle. Leave immediately. Since the Nine Dragons Great Saint is uninjured, he could very well appear at any moment."
The elder nodded, and just as he was about to turn around, he heard a lazy voice coming from behind him. The voice sounded like someone stretching and scratching an itch.
Yang Zhen's clothes were tattered and torn, barely covering his body; even a beggar in the mortal world was dressed better than Yang Zhen.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yang Zhen, his body emitting wisps of green smoke, stretched and slowly emerged from the endless sword blades of the Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment. He glanced at the Grand Elder and Granny Gu, who were about to turn away, grinned, and said, "Damn it, you guys had a good fight, and now you want to leave? What kind of logic is that? There's a saying, 'tit for tat.' Even if you want to leave, you should at least let this ' Sage of Saunter' strike you a couple of times first, right?"
Countless people were stunned to see Yang Zhen walk out like that, showing no signs of injury except for being somewhat disheveled.
"No, this is impossible! How could you be completely unharmed?"
The Grand Elder's face flashed with shock, then he turned around to look at his surroundings, roaring, " Nine Dragons, you get out here! So what if you're a Saint Realm expert? How dare you toy with me like this! Kill me or torture me, do it quickly! If I even flinch, I don't deserve to be born into this world!"
It turns out, it was the Half-Step Great Saint who was up to his tricks again. He must have intervened just now, otherwise Yang Zhen would have died.
Everyone looked around in bewilderment, but there was no sign of the Nine Dragons Great Saint.
"Go, go quickly!" Granny Gu's face showed a look of horror and terror as she grabbed the elder and tried to run outside.
The Grand Elder struggled to break free, his face contorted with madness, roaring at those around him, "Come out, you coward! What's so great about being Saint Realm expert? How dare you look down on me like this? If you dare to come out, I'll risk my life to bite off a piece of your flesh!"
Listen to this! A powerful elder from the mighty Great You Dynasty is actually going to bite someone!
Even Half-Step Great Saint is nothing more than a child in front of a Saint Realm expert!
The Grand Elder roared and cursed repeatedly, as if trying to break free and wait for the Nine Dragons Great Saint to appear so he could fight to the death.
Just as everyone was dumbfounded and thought that the Grand Elder was still a person of importance, the Grand Elder suddenly turned around and ran away, faster than a rabbit, leaving everyone, including Granny Gu, completely bewildered.
However, the Grand Elder turned and ran quickly, but stopped even faster.
A figure appeared before the Grand Elder at some unknown time, his expression still calm and composed, showing no sign of anger. However, the violent Saint Realm power emanating from him and the terrifying Body-Protecting Saint Gang around him made everyone's scalp tingle.
Clearly, the Nine Dragons Great Saint was angered by the Grand Elder's scolding.
With such terrifying speed and unfathomable strength, the Grand Elder and Granny Gu had no chance of escaping even if they wanted to.
Countless people stared blankly at the dramatic scene unfolding in mid-air, their faces a mixture of amusement and disbelief.
The elder and Granny Gu not only seemed not very bright, but also somewhat pitiful.
This luck left everyone present speechless.
Seeing a hint of murderous intent flash across the face of the Nine Dragons Great Saint, Granny Gu suddenly let out a strange cry, shouting hoarsely, "Stop! What do you think you're doing? A dignified Saint Realm expert, are you going to bully a weak woman and a weak... a junior?"
A... weak woman?
Upon hearing Granny Gu's words, everyone present almost cursed. This old woman, did she have no shame?
The Nine Dragons Great Saint snorted coldly, about to make a move, when Yang Zhen suddenly said, "Fellow villager, wait a minute!"
"Hmm?" The Nine Dragons Great Saint Yang Zhen for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Boy, what are you going to do?"
Yang Zhen swaggered up to the Nine Dragons Great Saint, clicking his tongue in amazement, and stared at the Grand Elder and Granny Gu, saying, "I only knew that garbage needed to be sorted before, but I never thought that killing also needed to be sorted. This old woman is right, those two aren't worth your time. Let me handle it..."
At this point, amidst the bewildered glances of the group, Yang Zhen approached Granny Gu, glaring angrily, and shouted, "Who goes there? What kind of trash are you?"
I was just worried about not having any practice targets. Although these two in front of me didn't seem very smart, they were, after all, two Half-Step Great Saint. It should be easy for them to fight.
