Roar!
The mysterious beast roared, fixing Yang Zhen with a fierce and terrifying gaze that erupted from its eyes.
Yang Zhen was also sizing up the mysterious beast in front of him. From its outward appearance, it didn’t seem to be much different from a living creature. Its formidable aura and the intimidating fire waves that revolved around its body were frightening to behold.
No matter from which angle he looked, the mysterious beast seemed like a flesh-and-blood creature, and it left Yang Zhen feeling bewildered.
Although the mysterious beast was terrifying, it was not particularly intelligent. Yang Zhen speculated that he might be able to use this to his advantage to kill it. However, if it was indeed a substantial creature, the situation would be different. Any beast that had cultivated all the way up to the Golden Core Stage was undoubtedly cunning and sly, with intelligence comparable to that of a human. To kill such a mysterious beast, overwhelming strength was a must.
“Master, be careful. This beast is tremendously ferocious and powerful!” Ning Yiling voiced out with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
Yang Zhen’s return indicated that he wasn’t the type to stand by when someone was in danger. Given that his cultivation level was only at the Minor Mahayana Phase, his departure wouldn’t have been surprising.
It wasn’t that Ning Yiling underestimated Yang Zhen. Instead, the fact that he dared to return made her even more astounded. To think that a practitioner at the Minor Mahayana Phase would confront a beast at the Golden Core Stage, this level of righteousness was undoubtedly out of reach for many.
Ning Yiling’s junior sister had widened eyes, mirroring Ning Yiling’s surprise as she glanced at her and blinked.
Ning Yiling shook her head and bit her lip, turning to Yang Zhen, “Master, you should not have come back. Even with the collective strength of my junior sister and I, we cannot escape from this beast. If something happens to you…” Just as she was showing reluctance and was on the verge of telling Yang Zhen to leave, he suddenly made his move.
Yang Zhen lunged at the mysterious beast, who he had been eyeing for quite a while. The creature had finally shown its true colors. He spotted a brief look of confusion in its eyes, which it quickly tried to hide. However, it did not escape his gaze.
If it were a regular beast, it wouldn’t show such an expression. Only a mysterious beast would demonstrate this lag in reaction-its natural instinct. Yang Zhen glanced at Ning Yiling and was momentarily stunned by her clear eyes. He thought to himself, Beautiful women are indeed terrifying.
Compared to Hua Youyue, if Hua was a lofty peony, then Ning Yiling was a budding lotus. One was noble, elegant, gorgeous, and dignified, and the other was pure and untainted-both were extraordinary beauties of the world.
Seeing Ning Yiling was about to speak, Yang Zhen revealed a confident smile. He raised his hand to stop her and shouted, “Ladies, it’s too dangerous here. You must leave at once!”
Leave, just leave. The border treasure will belong solely to Brother Yang.
“What?” Ning Yiling was momentarily stunned, her gratitude towards Yang Zhen now even more obvious, “No, since you have risked your life to save us, I cannot just run away.”
Ning Yiling’s junior sister was anxiously stamping her foot. Just as she was about to react, the mysterious beast suddenly roared and charged at her.
“Watch out, Junior Sister!” Ning Yiling who was alarmed, leaped towards the beast. Just as she jumped, she saw a black shadow flash past her, which gave her quite a fright.
Boom!
Yang Zhen’s punch landed on the beast’s claw and used the force to bounce back, sliding across the ground for quite a distance before coming to a stop.
What immense strength!
After the beast landed, it roared continuously, ignoring Ning Yiling’s junior sister and charging toward Yang Zhen instead.
Yang Zhen laughed heartily as an intense black light suddenly erupted from his body. His Ancient Elephant Thunder Body was stimulated to the extreme, revolving with thunderbolts and rumbling of thunder.
“Ladies, leave quickly! I’ll meet up with you once I’ve killed this beast!” Yang Zhen’s voice was full of vigor as he stood tall, his body radiating with a fearsome energy. He shone brightly, resembling a thunder deity.
Seeing that Ning Yiling and her junior sister were not leaving, Yang Zhen almost cursed out loud.
What, you want to share the border treasure with Brother Yang?
Ning Yiling’s junior sister was desperately tugging at Ning Yiling, seemingly urging her to leave quickly. Ning Yiling wouldn’t budge, though. She reprimanded her junior sister while calling out, “Master, let me help you!” Yang Zhen stumbled, narrowly avoiding the beast’s claw.
Ever heard of monster robbing?
Yang Zhen instantly cursed when he saw the two still arguing, Why are you still standing here, waiting to die? If you two die here, that will make all my efforts for nothing! So, you don’t want to leave, do you? Fine, I’ll just stay here and let the mystical… beast kill me end of story!”
-No don’t!” Ning Yiling’s expression changed, biting her lip as she took a deep look at Yang Zhen. As she walked away, she said, “Master, you must survive, otherwise I would not forgive myself, no matter how many times I may die!” “Alright, alright, survive, now go!” Yang Zhen hurriedly said.
After the two women left, glancing back three times with every step, Yang Zhen laughed out loud and beckoned the mystical beast, “Little brother, there’s no one else here, we can have a good fight now!”
Boom!
A burst of blue light erupted from Yang Zhen, his momentum even greater. The terrifying power of the Ancient Thunder Controlling Technique surged within Yang Zhen. The Thunderbolt Sword in his hand emitted waves of thunder, and the Dayan Wind and Thunder Sword was unleashed, wildly brutal.
Roar!
The mystical beast wouldn’t back down either. Although its body was massive, it moved agilely. It created gusts of wind as it moved, occasionally spitting out a mouthful of fire at Yang Zhen, scorching hot.
The battle between Yang Zhen and the mystical beast heated up from the start, with thundering dragons roaring from the long sword, and fiery waves reaching the sky. The surrounding valleys were exploding again and again, with countless rocks shattering into fragments.
On the hillside, Ning Yiling and her junior sister were lying by a rock, looking worriedly towards the valley.
“junior sister, we are like this… isn’t it a bit inappropriate?”
“Senior Sister Ning, he only asked us to leave. He didn’t say how far. Besides, how could a Minor Mahayana Phase practitioner possibly be a match for a Golden Core Stage beast? We should wait here. Maybe we’ll need to collect his body.”
“Junior Sister, stop talking nonsense!”
“Hey, Sister Ning, you seem pretty concerned about this guy. Are you falling for him? What a pity he’s about to die, and we don’t even know his name.” “You…” Ning Yiling shot a glare at her junior sister and said, “You’re the one who’s in love with him!”
junior sister stuck out her tongue and said, “I, Ding Xuner, only like Yang Zhen. Sister Ning, who do you think is more powerful, him or Yang Zhen?” Ning Yiling stunned for a moment, then shook her head, “Everyone says that Yang Zhen is despicable and shameless. We only just arrived and haven’t managed to see him yet. But this Young Master is full of chivalry. How could Yang Zhen possibly compare with him?”
“Why can’t they be compared?” Ding Xuner rolled her eyes and said, “I’ve heard all of Yang Zhen’s deeds. That’s called wisdom, how could you say he’s despicable and shameless? He’s just been vilified by some cunning and deceitful people.”
Ning Yiling laughed bitterly and stared blankly at the dust-filled valley. If it weren’t for the occasional sight of lightning flashes and thunderous roars, and the beast’s roars, it would seem Yang Zhen was already dead.
“junior sister, you are right. I may not even know his name.” Ning Yiling said with a downcast expression.
The way a Minor Mahayana Phase practitioner faced the Golden Core Stage beast fearlessly deeply impressed Ning Yiling.
It turned out there truly were fearless people in this world.
In the valley, Yang Zhen was circling around the mystical beast, completely ignoring its furious roars. Despite scorching the surrounding soil and rocks, the beast couldn’t even touch a strand of Yang’s clothes.
When the dust and gas wave gradually subsided, Yang Zhen seized an opportunity, shouted out loud, and jumped high. He stabbed his sword into the mystical beast’s rear end. Pain made the beast howl in agony as it tried to dislodge the sword.
Yang Zhen laughed loudly again and refused to give the beast any respite, happily stabbing it with his sword again and again.
“Ah!”
A surprised yell came from the hillside. Ding Xuner covered her eyes and exclaimed softly, “Senior sister, he… he’s still alive!”
Ning Yiling jumped up with joy, “That’s fantastic! The Young Master didn’t die!”
Yang Zhen, who was intensely stabbing the beast, gave a start and turned his head to look. His movements faltered for a moment..
