Chapter 499: 505: Righteous Yang Zhen! (5th update)
Senior Brother Lu stared solemnly at the Black Puppet squatting on the huge boulder, his face gloomy. He turned to Yang Zhen and said, “Damn it, what are you waiting for, where’s the Cannon?”
Yang Zhen casually tossed the Cannon to Senior Brother Lu, gesturing with his hand he said, “You do it!”
Senior Brother Lu was stunned, as if he hadn’t expected Yang Zhen to hand the Cannon over so easily, his face filled with disbelief.
Damn it, he almost got killed by your Taiji for buying you a Cannon. After everything, he just casually gave it to him?
This… could Yang Zhen be a bit more predictable in his actions?
Senior Brother Lu was clearly oblivious that the most unexpected move, is to have no plan at all. This was the most frustrating part about Yang Zhen.
“Why?”
Senior Brother Lu looked at the Cannon in his hand, his face full of confusion.
Yang Zhen moved aside, sat down, and looked at the Black Puppet of the Divine Transformation Stage that was staring at them. His face was serious, and he spoke in a low voice, “Why? Among everyone here, only you have the highest level of cultivation and can bring out the full power of the Cannon. Sao Saint, although I’m not a nice person, how can I stand by and watch so many compatriots die before my eyes?”
Listening to Yang Zhen’s words, everyone present looked startled, their gaze towards Yang Zhen becoming strange.
“Who said Yang Zhen is vengeful and despicably cunning? If I hear anyone say such things again, I won’t stand for it!”
“Such magnanimity, truly his reputation precedes him. If Yang Zhen is considered treacherous, then are there still virtuous individuals in this world!”
“Senior Brother Lu, the rest is up to you. Don’t worry, even though our cultivation isn’t up to par, we absolutely won’t betray our conscience.”
“Yes, thousands of us practitioners will defend you. Yang won’t neglect his duty, so go ahead and fire away!”
Everyone voiced their support, their gaze towards Yang Zhen filled with incredulity, many of them displaying grateful expressions.
Yang Zhen was right, among them, only Senior Brother Lu had the highest cultivation and could bring out the full potential of the Cannon. Every increase in the power of the Cannon, meant increased chances of their survival.
No one expected that they just wanted to venture into the sacred domain and kill a couple of Black Puppets, only to encounter a powerful Black Puppet of the Divine Transformation Stage.
Moreover, it seems that the Black Puppet has targeted them, and even more alarming, some of them noticed that this Black Puppet of the Divine Transformation Stage seemed a bit off.
Senior Brother Lu’s face became increasingly solemn, he stared at Yang Zhen with an uncertain expression. After a long while, he finally said, “Yang Zhen, I, Lu Tianwei, rarely admire anyone, but you… I respect you!”
Yang Zhen was taken aback, he quickly responded, “Oh, Brother Lu is indeed a magnanimous person, this Sao Saint is full of admiration.”
Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, Lu Tianwei seemed rather pleased and burst out laughing. With the Cannon in hand, he confidently declared, “Then let me take on this beast. Even if I’m not guaranteed to kill it, I won’t let the divine weapon you gifted me go to waste!”
The crowd was stirred up, their faces filled with anticipation as they all watched Lu Tianwei.
In the crowd, the malicious cat mumbled to himself, “Damn it, what selflessness, Yang Xiaozi is as selfless as a fart. He’s just afraid that using the Cannon against the Divine Transformation Stage is too risky. Would Yang Xiaozi do something that dangerous?”
Ji Yourong listened, her face filled with surprise. She looked at Yang Zhen, her eyes shimmering with a mixture of annoyance and amusement.
Seeing the malicious cat mumbling nonstop, his eyes constantly rolling around, Yang Zhen knew that the damn thing was trying to expose him. Annoyed, he glared at the cat.
Damn it, let Lu Tianwei start his performance on this dangerous task. If this damn cat keeps mumbling and someone listens, what will he do?
Yang Zhen figured it was time for the smiley cat to pay a price, such as the treasure buried in Northern Island which it had no knowledge of.
Just then, a gasp was heard.
Yang Zhen’s face hardened, squinting he turned to look at Lu Tianwei.
Lu Tianwei was ecstatic, holding up the Cannon he laughed aloud, “Who would have thought, who would have thought, that such a miraculous weapon exists in this world. It truly is… a divine weapon!”
Seeing Lu Tianwei becoming incoherent, Yang Zhen sighed. This kid was so inexperienced it was… embarrassing!
Nobody knew that this so-called Cannon was really just something Yang Zhen casually whipped up. Its power might be vast, but it had too many limitations, especially its slow recharge time after each shot, which was enough time for Lu Tianwei to die a dozen times.
This weapon, in truth, was only useful as a surprise attack against adversaries. Yet here was Lu Tianwei, full of pride, blatantly announcing to the Black Puppet of the Divine Transformation Stage that he was about to make a major move.
Indeed, when Lu Tianwei raised the Italian cannon in his hand, the Divine Transformation Stage Black Puppet slowly set its gaze on Lu Tianwei’s hand.
“Damned beast, die!”
BOOM!
A thunderous explosion sounded, and everyone was startled. Not even Yang Zhen had expected that the Italian cannon could unleash such terrifying power in Lu Tianwei’s hands.
A dazzling light burst forward, accompanied by a horrifying wave of energy that stormed towards the Black Puppet at the Divine Transformation Stage with near-uncontrolled fury.
Everyone was taken aback, and quickly shifted their gaze to the Black Puppet, which was clearly also startled.
However, when they landed their eyes on the Black Puppet, their vision blurred. There was no sign of the Black Puppet on the stone where it just stood.
“Damn it, the Black Puppet’s gone!”
Someone shouted, causing a shiver to run through everyone present.
At the same time, a horrifying aura of death suddenly enveloped everyone, causing everyone’s hair to stand on end. Even Lu Tianwei and Ji Yourong’s faces changed drastically.
“Everyone be careful!”
“Bastard, where did it go?”
“Not good…”
Angry shouts filled the air. Whether they were disciples of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain or practitioners from the Northern Island, everyone was thrown into a state of confusion, searching everywhere for the shadow of the Divine Transformation Stage Black Puppet.
Outside the crowd, Meowth, a mischievous cat, glanced back and pat Yang Zhen’s shoulder, “Kid, do you think it’s a good idea for us to just slink away?”
Yang Zhen glanced at Meowth and asked, “What do you think?”
Meowth pondered for a moment, and seriously answered, “In my opinion, if your pace was a tad-bit quicker, it would be even better!”
“Damn it!”
Yang Zhen quickly responded, “Hold on tight!”
BOOM!
An explosive wave of energy suddenly erupted under Yang Zhen’s feet, propelling him forward at an astonishing speed.
“Somersault Cloud!”
BUZZ!
The moment the man and the cat left, a terrifying energy wave exploded in the crowd, throwing everyone off their feet in utter disarray.
The shadow of the Black Puppet had somehow already materialized within the crowd.
“Yang Zhen, you bastard!”
Lu Tianwei looked around and didn’t see Yang Zhen. He immediately realized that Yang Zhen had sneaked away, which filled him with rage.
At the same time, the fear in Lu Tianwei’s heart was even stronger than his anger.
Who could have imagined that Black Puppet of the Divine Transformation Stage would be so terrifying?
Its lightning-fast speed was too much that not a soul present could track its movement.
This… was downright life-threatening!
“Damn Yang Zhen, he ran away just like that?”
Upon hearing Lu Tianwei’s words, everyone present was dumbfounded.
