Chapter 144  : Chapter 144  1 Reject Your Way!

Seeing the blood-spitting and feeble state of Yang Zhen, Patriarch Wang burst into hearty laughter, pointing at Yang Zhen and said, “Spitting blood, huh? Helpless, huh? You asked for it, hahaha…”

Elder Qu and Elder Tie exchanged bewildered glances and cast worried looks at Patriarch Wang.

“Uhm… Patriarch Wang, are you okay?” Elder Qu asked hesitantly.

“Me?” Patriarch Wang’s face flushed red, shimmering with the excitement: “What can be wrong with me? I’m perfectly fine. Being infuriated by the brat, Yang Zhen, today surprisingly reminds me of the vigor I had in my youth. I didn’t feel any… ugh…”

Seeing Patriarch Wang spew blood like a fountain, the color drained from Elder Qu and Elder Tie’s faces as they panicked and slapped Patriarch Wang unconscious.

“Damn it, Patriarch Wang was stricken with fury, that he actually let Yang Zhen sparked his Heart Devil Burst so easily. If not handled properly, he might end up utterly insane!”

Hisss!

The onlooking crowd drew in a sharp breath in horror. The terror of Yang Zhen was Authentic, as he actually managed to anger a Void Cultivation stage master until he failed to suppress the Heart Devil.

A practitioner should act along with heaven’s will, Heart Devil Burst is a common occurrence. The higher the cultivation of a practitioner, the more powerful the backlash of the Heart Devil. If they can’t find a way to suppress the Heart Devil, even the most talented individuals will fail to advance further in their cultivation.

That’s the terror of Heart Devil Burst — it’s inescapable!

Elder Qu and the others stared at Yang Zhen in shocked disbelief. Seeing Yang Zhen has now kneeled down wheezing vociferously, his face badly pale, and beads of sweat as large as beans were falling onto the ground, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The damn brat had finally succumbed. With his death, the world was rid of one fiend.

The “Cheap Cat” was circling at the foot of the hill, casting a puzzled look at Yang Zhen: “Is he going to die? He’s so pathetic, can’t he even learn a single sacred cultivation method?”

Hua Youyue looked at Yang Zhen, and murmured: “Hold on!”

At this time, there were still many cultivators rushing toward the scene. After seeing the situation, they all looked surprised, not understanding why so many people were showing schadenfreude toward a young man.

When everyone understood what had happened, they became flabbergasted. They were shocked to look at Yang Zhen, who was still struggling intensely.

“No wonder Yang Zhen is so shameless, always enjoying seeing others exert themselves to the brink of collapse. Looking at Yang Zhen struggling like this feels so good!”

“Serves him right, serves him right!”

“Yang Zhen brought this upon himself. I wonder how many people he has offended along the way, he probably doesn’t even know.”

“It serves him right. Even if Yang Zhen is lucky enough to get three Dao Marks, he can’t cultivate the Twelve Refining Blood Profound Skills. Does he think that anyone can practice the cultivation method of the Dust Blood Great Sage?”

The sarcastic remarks of the crowd were extraordinarily harsh. Almost everyone was gloating over his misfortune. Seeing Elder Qu and Elder Tie, the Void Cultivation Stage masters, staring at Yang Zhen with a smirk, despair occasionally flickered in their eyes.

Hua Youyue softly bit her lower lip and muttered: “He… always creates miracles!”

“Haha, Master of Flower Tower, am I hearing you right? You still believe Yang Zhen will turn danger into safety?”

“Exactly! He has not even undergone half the Blood Essence Burst. If all the True Essence in the sky enters into Yang Zhen’s body, he will probably die on the spot!”

Hua Youyue looked at everyone calmly and saw Yang Zhen lowering his head more and more. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and shouted at Yang Zhen: “Yang Zhen, stand up for me!”

Yang Zhen! Stand up for me!

The voice of Hua Youyue was not loud. It was immediately drowned out amidst the terrifyingly tumultuous waves. The people around Hua Youyue heard it clearly and turned their heads to look at her with a sarcastic smile.

Elder Qu looked at Hua Youyue coldly and said in a deep voice: “Master of Flower Tower, do you honestly think that Yang Zhen can survive under these circumstances?”

At these words, everyone present took a step back.

There were three Void Cultivation Stage masters present. Even if Yang Zhen was able to hold on somehow, he would not be able to survive under the hands of these three Void Cultivation Stage masters.

In other words, Yang Zhen was undoubtedly going to die today?

Thinking about this, everyone quieted down and watched Yang Zhen quietly.

Pain!

Endless, excruciating pain!

Yang Zhen’s vision was already a blur. Apart from the heart-wrenching pain in his body, he could not feel anything and could not hear any sound.

Who would have thought that the Dust Blood Great Sage would be just as ruthless to himself as he was to his enemies? This Twelve Refining Blood Profound Skills, as Yang Zhen saw it, was no different from self-harm.

Under the endless infusion of Qj and True Essence, almost all of Yang Zhen’s meridians had burst open. Fortunately, Yang Zhen had already perfected the ancient thunder body cultivation, otherwise, it wouldn’t only be his meridians that had burst, but his entire body’s flesh and bones.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Yang Zhen’s sight and hearing began to slowly recover. His vision was blurry, and he could only see the faces full of mockery and schadenfreude at the foot of the mountain. There was no sound except for the howling wind.

At that moment, a familiar hazy voice floated towards him.

Yang Zhen! Get up!

At the sound of the voice, Yang Zhen shuddered. Amid the blurry sight of the crowd, he found Hua Youyue in her usual white clothes.

Mocking laughs sounded all around him, and various expressions of delight at his misfortune filled Yang Zhen’s view.

Yang Zhen took a deep breath, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he slowly stretched out his hands.

Seeing Yang Zhen’s movement, everyone was taken aback. No one had expected that Yang Zhen would still be able to move at this time.

“What… what does this mean?”

“With his hands stretched out on both sides, the pain and pressure he is bearing are even greater. What the hell is Yang Zhen trying to do?”

Elder Qu and Elder Tie exchanged looks, their faces shocked, while Patriarch Wang, slowly coming to, stared intensely at Yang Zhen.

All the expressions of schadenfreude on people’s faces were replaced with astounded and horrified looks, as they watched Yang Zhen incredulously.

At this moment Yang Zhen was still able to smile.

“My goodness, this kid is badass! Even at this point, he doesn’t forget to put on a show!” The cat opened its eyes wide, beaming with excitement.

Pah!

A barely audible gasp came, but the sound of Yang Zhen’s exhalation was very real and resonated in everyone’s ears.

Yang Zhen slowly lifted his head and, amid the gasps of shock from everyone watching, completely gave up any resistance, even the ancient thunder body was canceled!

Boom!

A tremendous surge of blood fell from mid-air, rushing towards Yang Zhen.

In an instant, Yang Zhen’s body exploded, with countless amounts of blood spurting in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, he became a blood man.

Such a terrifying sight gave everyone a shock. Just as they were about to cheer, their shouts of joy turned into gasps of horror.

Even under these circumstances, Yang Zhen staggered to his feet.

“I live, I exist, not complying with fate, not challenging it, I am me, I don’t want your way!”

Boom!

Yang Zhen’s entire body shook suddenly, and a boundless surge of qi and blood erupted from within him. His whole demeanor unexpectedly started to turn stormy.

“Oh, oh, oh… damn, this kid is badass, refusing even the Great Sage’s path…” The cat hopped excitedly and its fur stood on end, clearly surprised beyond belief.

“What? This kid voluntarily gave up the path of the Dust Blood Great Sage?” Patriarch Wang looked terrified and exclaimed.

Everyone was greatly shocked as they looked in disbelief at Yang Zhen amid the surge of blood.

Was Yang Zhen out of his mind?
