Chapter 111 - ill: Hurry to Find the Treasure
“Disassemble the True Essence Cannon?” Liu Shanquan was taken aback, his face strange as he quickly said, “No, we can’t. The inscription array on the True Essence Cannon is drawn by the master. Without it on the Blade, we… My God, you, you, you, you actually disassembled it!”
Boom! Boom!
Yang Zhen disassembled the two True Essence Cannons and passed one to Lin Shilang, saying, “Didn’t you just mention taking the True Essence Cannon and going after them? Hurry up.”
A complex expression crossed Lin Shilang’s face as he screamed in anger, “Are you insane? If they turn around and we’ve disassembled the True Essence Cannons, we’re doomed!”
“Then let’s annihilate them before they turn around. Don’t worry, I’ll back you up, my 98K skills are top-notch!” Yang Zhen casually patted the True Essence Cannon as he gave Lin Shilang a slanted look, saying, “Or, are you saying… you dare not aim the True Essence Cannon at the Black Pigeon?”
“You… what did you just say?” Lin Shilang turned pale, hefted the True Essence Cannon, and stormed out of the Blade, shouting, “If you have the guts, follow me and we’ll see who dies first!”
Yang Zhen chuckled and charged out after him, “Of course, you can’t die!
Because…oh, whoops, slipped my grip!”
Boom!
A loud hum echoed, causing Lin Shilang to shudder, facing the terrifying True Essence turbulence with disbelief on his face, his pupils dilating.
“Yang Zhen, you bas…”
Lin Shilang was unable to finish his sentence. With one blast, Yang Zhen made him disappear, not even a piece of bone was left.
Yang Zhen’s face changed, he reluctantly cursed, the power of that cannon was too great, it had even shattered Lin Shilang’s storage ring.
Seeing Yang Zhen obliterate Lin Shilang with a single cannon, everyone on the Blade gasped, staring at Yang Zhen in a daze as he hoisted the massive True Essence Cannon into the air. In the blink of an eye, he was hundreds of yards away, and they had not yet reacted.
“That…that’s ruthless. I never expected Brother Yang to be so cruel. Without any argument, he killed Lin Shilang?” Liu Shanquan was flabbergasted, a look of disbelief in his eyes.
Bell was equally shocked, gazing at Yang Zhen’s retreating figure in horror. Yang Zhen was now far away, hefting an immense True Essence Cannon on his shoulders as he chased after a flying ship.
What puzzled everyone further was that neither Lin Shilang nor Yang Zhen should have been able to control the disassembled True Essence Cannon, else why would Lin Shilang, known for his caution, expose his back to Yang Zhen?
It must have been Yang Zhen’s provocation that infuriated Lin Shilang, causing him to recklessly chase after the Black Pigeon while carrying the True Essence Cannon, and in doing so, chase after his own death.
Why could Yang Zhen control the True Essence Cannon, and why did he kill Lin Shilang?
Lin Shilang, always ultra-careful, was hiding under a table that held the master’s ink treasures even before the Blade left the Abyssal Turbulence. The place, which housed the master’s ink treasures, was the only place that could resist the True Essence Cannon.
If even Lin Shilang, who was always so cautious, was killed by Yang Zhen- Wait, hearing this, Bell’s face changed drastically, and she gritted her teeth and said, “Lin Shilang, that bastard, deserved to die!”
On the entire Blade, nobody noticed why the Black Pigeon outside the Abyss had moved under the table so early.
Many flying ships had crossed the Abyssal Turbulence on this route, carrying disciples from various powers, as well as the space pirate ship. So why were there no news circulated about the Black Pigeon lurking near?
All signs pointed to the Black Pigeon hiding in the dark, likely waiting for the Blade.
Bell, the head sister, wore a grim face, and shouted, “Follow me! We must stop the Black Pigeon today!”
Liu Shanquan and others looked in bafflement at the furious head sister, they were all taken aback.
The enraged head sister was terrifying, her raging aura made the chills run down one’s spine.
Liu Shanquan, who had been following the head sister for the longest time and had seen countless of her battles, knew the extent of her current anger.
This was indeed because of Brother Yang’s brilliance!
He was so close with the head sister. Even when Lin Shilang, the valedictorian of Dajiang Country whom the master valued, was obliterated by Yang Zhen, the head sister didn’t show any signs of dissatisfaction. Instead, she said that Lin Shilang deserved to die.
Liu Shanquan didn’t dare to delay any further, hastily urging everyone to chase after them. As Brother Yang might become the Blade’s master, they couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry, if anything happens to Brother Yang, I’ll be the end of
you all!”
Head Sister:”???”
Yang Zhen eyed the Black Pigeon, which was speeding away, lifted his hand and fired. It was undeniable that this True Essence Cannon, controlled by inscriptions instead of arrays, was much faster. If it wasn’t for the limited range, the Blade would have simply crushed the Black Pigeon.
Yang Zhen now had the True Essence Cannon on his shoulder, the rapid rate at which it gathered True Essence was exhilarating. He pointed at the Black Pigeon ahead and cursed loudly, “Coward, if you’ve got the guts, don’t run! Come on, let’s play a game of turn-taking. You hit me once, I blast you once. The first to dodge is a loser!”
Aboard the Black Pigeon, the Young Master was furious, his face ashen. A red light emanated from his eyes as he roared, “Turn around, kill that bastard!”
Hum!
The Black Pigeon turned around, dark holes of its cannons began to gather energy.
With the True Essence Cannon on his shoulder, Yang Zhen’s eyes fixed on the eight-fold scope. With a resounding boom, he shattered the True Essence Cannon of the Black Pigeon with one shot, creating severe shockwaves.
“Bastard, you’re not a man of your word!” The Young Master pointed at Yang Zhen, seething with anger.
Not a man of his word? What did you expect? That the Sao Saint was some big villain out of a TV drama who would die if he talked too much?
Yang Zhen sneered, raised his hand and fired another shot, but failed to gather True Essence.
The Young Master laughed uproariously and said, “Hurry up, his True Essence Cannon is out of crystal stones. Go on and kill him!”
The Nascent Soul Stage Expert’s face changed, his figure suddenly lunged toward Yang Zhen, “You’re shameless and despicable! You’re the most arrogant youngster I’ve seen. How dare you chase a flying ship alone. Now you’ll die in my hands… What…”
Boom!
The Nascent Soul Stage Expert’s response was a direct cannon shot. He didn’t even have time to evade, half his body was instantly blown away. He looked shockingly at the empty space where his two legs used to be, wailing non-stop. Yang Zhen patted the True Essence Cannon, “Sorry about that, I’m not very skilled at this. I made a mistake in my operation, it wasn’t out of crystal stones.”
“You!” The Nascent Soul Stage Expert, now reduced to his upper body with his private parts blasted away, was so furious at Yang Zhen’s words that he vomited blood and fell through the clouds.
Passing practitioners looked on in horror, viewing Yang Zhen with a sense of dread.
“That… Isn’t that too despicable?”
-Keep it down, let’s leave here. Didn’t you see that geezer carrying a True Essence Cannon on his shoulder?”
The Young Master was quivering with rage. Damn your ‘not very skilled’! This thing only needs to be learned once, how could you have operated it wrongly? “Shameless rogue! Kill him!” The Young Master was furious, the red light in his eyes deepening.
An elderly man furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, “Young Master, this brat is nothing more than an arrogant child. There’s no need to fear him. There can’t be any mistakes with ‘that item’, I hope you prioritize the big picture!”
The Young Master’s expression shifted, his face displaying uncertainty. As he fixed his gaze on Yang Zhen and was about to speak, Yang Zhen’s voice echoed again, “Oh??? Come on, everyone, did you hear that? The Black Pigeon has some treasure on board. The treasure is for the one who finds it. So everyone, let’s go treasure hunting!”
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, those nearby stumbled. Practitioners who were flying on their swords almost fell.
Looking for your sister’s treasure! That’s the Black Pigeon, the most powerful space pirate here. Who wants to risk their life by going to their flying ship for treasure hunting?
Aboard the Black Pigeon, the elderly man’s face turned deathly pale, staring at Yang Zhen darkly.
“This… this damn kid! Does he have dog ears?”
“Okay, old man, you dare curse me, eat my cannon!” Yang Zhen raised his hand and fired a shot.
“Quick, dodge, blast him, blast him!” The elderly man was infuriated, not caring about ‘that item’ anymore. After dodging Yang Zhen’s shot, he seized another True Essence Cannon and took aim at Yang Zhen.
Standing on the Thunderbolt Sword, Yang Zhen looked at the old man with contempt, “Old man, if you can hit me, I’ll swallow this True Essence Cannon bit by bit. Let me show you what listening to sound to locate position and Snake Skin Movement mean.”
Under everyone’s gaze, Yang Zhen shouldered the True Essence Cannon, standing on the Thunderbolt Sword and used Sky Crossing Void to cast a series of afterimages in the shape of characters for one and human..
