Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes

Chapter 741: Chapter 747: Just 100 More to Go! (Third Update)

Jumping to the sky… the young lady?

Everyone present froze in response to such an outrageous comment.

Having heard such a bizarre statement, they all turned their heads uniformly towards the direction of the sound, twisting their necks, opening their mouths wide, their faces filled with bewilderment.

Yue Yazi stared blankly towards the source of the sound mid-air, a strange look flashing across her face.

The young lady who had leapt to the sky?

Within a ten-mile radius at this moment, she was the only one in the air, but what did jumping to the sky mean exactly?

When Yue Yazi’s gaze fell on a group of people not far away, her face instantly darkened. Then she chuckled, leaping down and said with a playful laugh, “I wondered who it was. It turns out it’s you, Senior Brother Yunla. Didn’t you return to Northern Island? Why have you come back now?”

Among the arrivals, Yunla put his hands together and bowed, acting like a young monk who had found enlightenment. Yet, everyone present could see the excitement on his face that he couldn’t hide.

What was he so excited about?

Among the crowd were people who’d witnessed the humiliation of Yunla, turning his face green. Seeing the expression on Yunla’s face now, they were slightly taken aback, immediately shifting their gaze to the people around Yunla.

It went without saying for Mo Shuiyan, the enchantress by Yunla’s side. When she met another enchantress, the smiles on both of their faces became eerie. An enchantress was an enchantress after all. Every frown and smile made people tremble, but both enchantresses were so charming that even with the creeps, it was hard not to be captivated by them.

The little girl, Wu Tao, was also very famous. Despite her small size, she was a bona fida body refining practitioner. Her movements were incredibly swift and her strength was so great that she could literally pound a practitioner of the same level to death with her bare hands.

Jin Heng, who seemed somewhat dull and unnoticeable, always smiled amiably, leaving a deep impression on people. Many remembered this seemingly gentle and honest figure who was also a heaven-blessed individual.

Yunla and the other four who had gone to Northern Island were all present. Behind them were around ten people who all looked really formidable, especially the one looking quite careless leading the group. He was of Divine Transformation Stage cultivation, causing a feeling of disbelief among the onlookers.

It seemed like among this group, he was the one leading. As the others moved and acted, they were subtly paying attention to his every move.

Seeing this, everyone present came to realization, their faces filling with horror as they looked towards Yunla.

The fact that Yunla and his group could be here could only mean one thing: that the heaven-blessed from Northern Island had all been brought back to the Western Region by Yunla.

Around ten people, and six were heaven blessed?

Didn’t that mean that among these six people, there was one named Yang Zhen?

…

Upon this thought, everyone’s eyes shone, their gazes sweeping over the group of around ten. Eventually, they all landed on the young practitioner who was carelessly leading the group.

The only one who would dare to flaunt such audacity would surely be Yang Zhen, the one who had “cultivated” twenty Heavenly Brilliances, right?

Yue Yazi’s gaze also turned strange, and although she was standing in front of Yunla as if to speak to him, her eyes were on Yang Zhen.

“Was it you who was speaking to me just now?”

Hearing Yue Yazi’s words, everyone behind Yue Yazi became interested. The person in question was likely the legendary Yang Zhen, and whether he had cultivated twenty or twenty-five Heavenly Brilliances could be confirmed simply by asking.

If this had happened in the past, Yunla might have gotten angry being ignored by Yue Yazi in such a manner.

But for some reason, he just couldn’t get angry this time. Seeing Yue Yazi turning towards Yang Zhen with an interested expression, far from getting angry, he got excited instead, with his heart racing.

Blessed by Buddha’s mother, if the situation were suitable, Yunla might have had to press his chest to calm his excited heart.

Yue Yazi was usually a lofty character. Surrounded by so many people, it didn’t take a genius to guess they must have been trash-talking him. And what more could they possibly say at this point?

They must have been exaggerating his boastful claim about someone cultivating twenty Heavenly Brilliances. The expressions of the people behind Yue Yazi were a dead giveaway.

Every single one of them was waiting for a good laugh, waiting to see Yunla’s spectacle.

Inside, Yunla had already extended the most civilized greetings to all eighteen generations of Yue Yazi’s ancestors. Yet, on the surface, she maintained a smile and joined her hands together in an aura of calm.

In truth, Yunla was anything but calm. She yearned for a couple of drink toasts in celebration. She was ecstatic.

Apparently, Yue Yazi could not yet comprehend who she was dealing with. This was Yang Zhen, the fellow who had once unnerved her with just a few casual words.

Yunla eyed Yang Zhen intently, awaiting Yang Zhen’s response, growing evermore exhilarated.

“Brat, are you deaf? Can’t you hear Miss Yue Yazi speaking to you?”

A young practitioner nearby coldly huffed, stepping two strides ahead of Yue Yazi. He stared condescendingly at Yang Zhen. “So you’re that Yang Zhen, boasting about having cultivated twenty-five Heavenly Brilliances, aren’t you? You think you’re some sort of chosen one, huh? Spill it – what tricks did you use to conjure twenty-five Heavenly Brilliances, fooling even Senior Brother Yunla and the others?”

This young practitioner was remarkably smooth; his words paid no offense to either Yue Yazi or Yunla. Indeed, he seemed quite the talent.

But this diplomatic young practitioner had managed to offend none other than Yang Zhen.

Yue Yazi watched Yang Zhen with an amused gaze, making no attempt to interrupt the young practitioner.

As for Yunla and the others, they focused on their breath, though truly all were engrossed in Yang Zhen’s actions.

The young practitioner, seeing Yang Zhen remain silent, wore an even more triumphant smirk. Just as he was about to speak again, Yang Zhen suddenly cleared his throat.

Smack!

A crisp sound echoed, as if one had just smacked something. The young practitioner stood frozen for a second before he was knocked off his feet, crying out in agony as he hit the ground and started clutching his swollen face.

No one saw how he had been sent flying. All they could see was him laying on the ground, wailing in pain and sporting a swollen face, unable to get up.

Yang Zhen yelped in mock surprise, pointing at the young practitioner. “Shameless cur! Are you scheming under the light of day to wrongfully accuse me of assault? Everyone present must stand witness for this Sao Saint. I stood here unmoving, yet he flew out all on his own. Does framing people work like this now? You could at least had your face graze Sao Saint’s hand!”

Splat!

Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, the young practitioner’s face turned a sickly green, vomiting a mouthful of old blood in a fit of anger.

Framing him?

Are you kidding me? Did you not see the figure that just dashed past?

Everyone present did see it indeed. A diminutive figure, darting right past, but none could make out exactly who it was. And no one among Yang Zhen’s entourage even budged.

At this juncture, Yue Yazi spared a cursory glance at the unconscious practitioner, his face swollen like a steamed bun. Then she glanced over at Wu Tao standing behind Yang Zhen. A look of surprise crossed her face, and her curiosity towards Yang Zhen intensified even more.

“You still haven’t answered. Are you that Yang Zhen who cultivated twenty Heavenly Brilliances?”

Looking at Yue Yazi with her charming smile, Yang Zhen nodded gravely. “Young miss, you have also not responded to this Sao Saint’s query. Is this place the Western Region?”

“You!” Yue Yazi’s face darkened. When Yang Zhen talked back to her knowing Mo Shuiyan was present, Yue Yazi could hardly swallow the insult. She was about to retort when Yang Zhen’s calm voice echoed once more.

“The Sao Saint is indeed called Yang Zhen, but not that Yang Zhen who cultivated twenty Heavenly Brilliances.”

Yue Yazi paused, then started giggling. She glanced teasingly at Yunla, “Seems like you’re more honest than some. Since you’re not the one who cultivated twenty Heavenly Brilliances, could you tell me how many you did cultivate actually?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s curiosity piqued, and all eyes fell on Yang Zhen.

Under everyone’s gaze, Yang Zhen didn’t respond immediately. Instead, the mischievous cat on his shoulder coughed, folding its paws behind its back and gazing longingly into the sky.

“What a lonely thing it is… to be invincible…”

Simultaneously, Yang Zhen’s deep voice rang out, “Not many, just a hundred or so.”

All were rendered speechless. Everyone was stunned.
