Chapter 750: Chapter 756 Brother Is Here? (Third Update)
Yes, Yang Zhen had cultivated the ten Heavenly Brilliances, but something was definitely fishy about it. Granny Hu might not have told the truth, but everyone who was present was not a fool.
Who had ever heard of a novice, especially one who had just entered the doorway of cultivation, being able to cultivate ten Heavenly Brilliances? Had Yang Zhen previously practiced cultivation?
What hogwash!
Nevertheless, even though Yang Zhen had cultivated ten Heavenly Brilliances, his cultivation was not particularly high. So far, he was only at the peak of the Divine Transformation Stage. In this examination, there were many strong contenders who were at the Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Divine Transformation Stage.
Even among those at the Ninth Heavenly Layer, there were marked differences in power. This was also true for Yang Zhen, who was at the peak of the Divine Transformation Stage. Having ten Heavenly Brilliances could only make Yang Zhen’s journey at the Eagle Fall Cliff a tad bit easier, provided that he didn’t encounter Heaven’s Chosen Ones.
Once Yang Zhen met Heaven’s Chosen Ones, his luck would run out. For example, Wan Jian, whom he was about to encounter, was ruthless and unstoppable.
Granny Hu’s facial expression turned somber, as she stared at the two people in the Sky Observing Mirror who were about to meet each other.
Yang Zhen was acting recklessly by choosing to cultivate at this time instead of hiding or looking for Yunla and others. If he encountered Wan Jian at this time, he would have no chance of surviving.
Yes, that’s correct, he would have no chance of surviving. No one with whom Wan Jian had dealt had so far lived to tell the tale.
No one considered Wan Jian’s actions as excessively cruel. In the world of cultivation, where the strong preyed upon the weak, killing one or two people was not considered ruthless. Letting go of those who wanted to kill you was considered the greatest cruelty to oneself.
Many of the people present had heard of Yang Zhen’s past and knew that he didn’t kill often. Their faces turned thrilling at the thought.
Wan Jian, who would kill without blinking, was headed towards Yang Zhen’s region. Could this seemingly harmless fellow, Yang Zhen, manage to survive?
“Yang Zhen’s luck has finally run out. In such an open field, to boldly cultivate is nearly suicidal. What boggles the mind is that he even had a sudden realization. With such bad timing, it is…
Really can’t tell whether his luck is good or bad!”
“Of course, it’s bad. Though enlightenment is a rare opportunity, timing is also crucial. If enlightenment comes during a dangerous time, it’s better not to have it!”
“Look, it seems like Wan Jian has sensed Yang Zhen’s aura!”
“Yes, indeed. Wan Jian is heading towards Yang Zhen’s direction. Once he crosses this hill, he’ll be able to see Yang Zhen.”
The crowd had not seen Yang Zhen lay the formation disk. When the scene switched, Yang Zhen had already reached sudden enlightenment. Many didn’t even know that for Yang Zhen, reaching sudden enlightenment was as common as having a meal.
Everyone stretched their necks to watch as Wan Jian, with a gloomy face, headed towards Yang Zhen. Of course, he couldn’t see Yang Zhen yet. In Wan Jian’s eyes, all opponents were equal.
At that moment, a beam of light emitted from the jade in Wan Jian’s hand. A rare smile crossed his face as he looked at his wrist and released a light beam into the sky.
“Whoa, he’s so openly calling his teammates. Isn’t Wan Jian worried that other teams will come to steal his tokens?”
“Do you think the powerful chosen ones will go against each other at this time?”
“Why won’t they go against each other?” someone asked in confusion. “Aren’t all tokens up for grabs in this examination?”
People nearby laughed sardonically and responded, “Nearly fifty people were duped by Yang Zhen. Until they find Yang Zhen, do you think they’ll fight each other? Not a chance. Wan Jian is just taking advantage of the insignificant ones. Against opponents like Yunla, he certainly won’t strike first.”
“Well, that is true. This is all due to Yang Zhen’s plotting. However, he’s getting paid back, targeted heavily. I wonder if he can survive this.”
“Survive this?” A few derisive laughs echoed. “Yang Zhen’s survival beyond the next few moments is uncertain. Given Wan Jian’s past behavior, he’d kill Yang Zhen on sight without even a greeting. To put it plainly, Yang Zhen would be dead before they even exchanged a word.”
“Whoa! Is Wan Jian really that ruthless?”
“Look, it seems like Wan Jian has discovered Yang Zhen!”
At those words, everyone held their breath and stared intently at the two figures in the Sky Observing Mirror – Wan Jian and Yang Zhen.
Indeed, Wan Jian had noticed Yang Zhen, who was sitting on the ground as if he were asleep.
Everyone could clearly see the astonishment on Wan Jian’s face. If it were anyone else showing such arrogance in front of Wan Jian, they’d most likely be cut down by him. Yet facing Yang Zhen, Wan Jian had actually hesitated.
“Yang Zhen?”
An unexpected look crossed Wan Jian’s gloomy face. The long sword in his hand exploded with brilliance and his spirits soared. As he stepped towards Yang Zhen, he said with interest, “Unexpectedly, you’re the first one I found!”
He…he spoke?
Everyone stared blankly at Wan Jian. What happened to the expected immediate attack without a word?
Wan Jian seemed to be carefully observing his surroundings, stepping gingerly as if on clouds. His cautious demeanor made onlookers, who were all initially shocked, think he was a bit cowardly.
Really, did he have to be so careful?
No one could imagine the strange thoughts running through Wan Jian’s mind.
Damn it! No sane person would be so cocky to sit and cultivate in such an open area unless they had an ace up their sleeve. Unless there was no trick, Wan Jian would eat back his words and the sword in his hand.
Even if Yang Zhen was deep in realization, he should be able to sense the murderous aura coming from Wan Jian. At this moment, whether it be sudden realization or sleep, anyone could wake up. However, Yang Zhen did not move.
He didn’t even twitch a lash, as if Wan Jian was not present at all.
He was definitely being cocky!
Wan Jian was sure that Yang Zhen was acting this way because he was confident and without fear. There might be hidden dangers or traps around, or Yang Zhen’s teammates could be hiding nearby, waiting for the moment when Wan Jian made his move to ambush him.
At this moment, Wan Jian somewhat regretted having separated from his team. If he’d known earlier, he would have stayed with Yue Yazi and others.
However, since the signal to assemble his team had already been sent, Wan Jian was not in a hurry. After all, if Yang Zhen didn’t move, he wouldn’t either. At most, he would just wait.
“What on earth is Wan Jian trying to do? Clearly, Yang Zhen is bluffing. In these circumstances, with one blow, Yang Zhen’s head could come off. Why has he stopped?”
“Could it be that Wan Jian is waiting for others to come?”
“Impossible, knowing Wan Jian’s character, he wouldn’t wait for his teammates. He would definitely kill Yang Zhen directly.”
…
Everyone was dumbfounded, not knowing what Wan Jian was up to.
But what bewildered the crowd even more was yet to happen.
Suddenly, Yang Zhen opened his eyes. He glanced at Wan Jian, who was approaching him with a murderous look, and smirked, “So, the younger brother has arrived?”
Wan Jian: “???”
