Chapter 611: Chapter 618: Do you understand the concept of ‘Winning people over with Virtue’? (Second update)
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s explanation, Death Shadow let out a string of cold chuckles. Even Ding Chun couldn’t help but scoff. Both of them clearly didn’t believe Yang Zhen’s cock-and-bull story.
Gong Sanhe looked at Yang Zhen with a weird expression and asked in surprise, “Are you saying that after you were swept up by the storm, you somehow landed before a Death Servant, who then got excited and tried to kill you but ended up getting killed by you?”
Yang Zhen earnestly explained, “It wasn’t a counter-kill. He died on his own. The Sao Saint wouldn’t kill so casually. Even if he wanted to kill me, I would just repay malice with kindness. I had no intention of killing him. Win over people with morality. Do you understand what that means?”
“Win over people with morality?” Death Shadow burst into raspy laughter, sounding like foam scraping against the ground.
Yang Zhen shrugged, “Clearly, you guys don’t believe me!”
This world was sometimes absurd. Telling the truth earnestly often led to disbelief, only fanciful lies could take people aback.
Death Shadow stared at Yang Zhen, “Do you think I’m a three-year-old kid? If it were as you said, would the Death Servant go as far as to use the Soul Chain Skill on you? Do you know what the Soul Chain Skill represents for a Death Servant?”
Yang Zhen pursed his lips, nonchalantly replying, “The Sao Saint doesn’t know what the Soul Chain Skill represents. I only know that I’m the victim here, targeted for no reason with a curse. How do you account for that?”
Having said that, Yang Zhen looked at the other twenty-four Death Servants around him, revealing a grin, “Out of these twenty-four Death Servants’ lives, there must be someone who can explain this darn thing, right?”
“Bastard!” Death Shadow’s face darkened as he fixed his gaze on Yang Zhen, “Ignorant boy, don’t tell me you think by messing around with some sacred discs, you can send all of us to our graves? What a joke!”
Yang Zhen was also getting angry now. These people were clearly a bunch of unreasonable lunatics. Talking to them was a waste of time and saliva. Reasoning was useless, sometimes it was indeed necessary to win them over with kindness.
Looking at the gloomy-faced Death Shadow, Yang Zhen drew out the Great Missing Sword with a bang and laughed, “Whether I can or cannot, you’ll find out once you give it a try.”
Damn it, so you think you’re great because you’re at the peak of the Mahayana Phase? The Sao Saint has even gone hard against the Divine Transformation Stage!
“Death Servants, heed my order!”
Death Shadow suddenly said coldly, “Kill without mercy!”
Roar–!
Loud roars that shook the heavens rang out, and all twenty-four Death Servants let out low roars and charged towards Yang Zhen.
The sudden attack caught Ding Chun and Wen Yuning off guard. Their faces rapidly changed color, and they rushed towards Gong Sanhe.
Gong Sanhe, who hadn’t expected Death Shadow to take action so quickly, hurriedly said, “Old man, is there some misunderstanding here?”
Seeing Death Shadow’s darkened face and his apparent lack of intention to engage him, Gong Sanhe quickly turned to advise Yang Zhen, “Little Li, or rather, you aren’t Little Li. Who are you really? Stop at once. You are no match for so many Death Servants.”
A strange expression flickered across Ding Chun’s face as he shook his head, “Elder Gong, this person has an eccentric personality. He actually dares to challenge twenty-four Death Servants alone. It’s good to teach him a lesson. Winning others with kindness, hehe, I am genuinely curious as to how he intends to accomplish that.”
Seeing the twenty-four Death Servants charging at him, Yang Zhen took a deep breath. Instead of dodging, he closed his eyes, and with a bang, the Great Missing Sword in his hand emitted a massive black wave. A beastly roar resounded through the heavens and shook the earth.
“What is this?”
Gong Sanhe’s face momentarily froze in surprise as he exclaimed, “A divine spirit! This young friend actually has a divine spirit?”
“So what if he has a divine spirit? It’s external after all and not his own strength,” Ding Chun responded with a laugh. “No wonder he’s so confident. So, this man not only possesses many sacred discs but also a divine spirit. Could it be the divine spirit that gave him such great courage?”
To which Wen Yuning, who had been silent all this while, suddenly shook her head and said, “I fear it’s not.”
“What?” Ding Chun’s face slackened in surprise, as he looked at Wen Yuning, saying in an odd tone, “Not a divine spirit? Could he be hiding his true power? That’s even more unlikely. How old is he?”
Wen Yuning’s face was also full of strangeness as she looked at Yang Zhen, “No wonder I’ve had a strange feeling since I first saw him. So that’s it. His composed demeanor seems too relaxed. Even if he was Elder Duan’s disciple, upon meeting Elder Gong, he couldn’t possibly be this calm. Could his identity be even more mysterious than Elder Duan’s disciple?”
Ding Chun’s face drastically changed as he looked at Yang Zhen in disbelief and said, “Impossible, Elder Duan’s disciple is of such high status. Could there be someone more mysterious than him in this world who has yet to emerge?”
Just as Gong Sanhe was about to speak with a deep voice, Yang Zhen suddenly made his move.
Bang!
A humming sound came, and as Yang Zhen jumped up, countless shadow clones erupted. Each clone held an impossibly large Great Missing Sword in its hand. The momentum was so strong that everyone present was caught off guard.
“Clone Skill?”
Gong Sanhe and Death Shadow both cried out in astonishment before quickly stating, “It’s not Clone Skill. Don’t let his deception fool you!”
Death Shadow uttered a deep shout but kept an eye on Gong Sanhe. Clearly, he was more concerned about whether Gong Sanhe would make a move against Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen laughed heartily. Although Shadow Clones couldn’t fight, his objective was achieved. Of the twenty-four Death Servants, more than half were scared out of hiding by this sudden surprise.
One of those closest to Yang Zhen, the ghoulish creature from before, leaped up. The cold light of the long sword in his hand flickered, and like a flash of lightning, he lunged towards Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen wielded his Great Missing Sword in a circular motion, and with a crashing sound, he knocked this person away. Only after rolling for more than twenty meters did he finally stop.
Everyone’s faces drastically changed, as nobody had expected Yang Zhen to possess such terrifying strength.
With the strength of one, he could bring down ten!
Yang Zhen skillfully used this simple truth. He swung his Great Missing Sword widely, seeming full of flaws but always able to thwart the Death Servants’ attacks at just the right moment.
For a time, the whole battlefield was in chaos. Numerous thorn bushes were chopped into pieces, ochre rocks crumbled into dust, and dust flew everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, everyone lost sight of Yang Zhen and the Death Servants.
Yang Zhen knew that the Death Servants had kicked up the dust on purpose. Their methods tended towards assassination. Hiding in the dust, Yang Zhen could hardly detect them, especially in this place. Nobody dared to use their divine consciousness, which was even more advantageous for the Death Servants.
Gong Sanhe and the others watched with furrowed brows. In this situation, Yang Zhen’s advantages had been severely limited.
Twenty-four Death Servants at the Mahayana Phase, facing Yang Zhen at the peak of the Mahayana phase—it’s only a matter of time until they kill Yang Zhen.
Death Shadow’s face flickered with disbelief. His eyes, seeming like a hawk hovering in the sky, seemed as if they could see through all the dust.
Little did they know that this phenomenon was, in fact, intentionally created by Yang Zhen.
The more dust, the more advantageous it was for the Death Servants. However, for Yang Zhen, it also allowed him to fully exploit his advantages.
So Yang Zhen, while everyone was lost in contemplation and the Death Servants were confused, disappeared as if he had suddenly burrowed into the ground.
Screams echoed one after another, making the faces of Gong Sanhe and the others look as strange as if they had just heard the most unbelievable sound in the world.
Soon, the look on Death Shadow’s face completely changed. With a cold snort, his figure abruptly vanished mid-air.
Just then, Yang Zhen’s voice suddenly came, “Only thinking of making a move now, isn’t it a bit late?”
The face of Death Shadow changed drastically. His figure appeared mid-air, he looked up, and an enormous gate came crashing down from the sky, looking remarkably terrifying.
Most importantly, this gate was falling at such a terrifying speed that it was causing sonic booms!
“This…this is impossible! How could he be there?” Ding Chun’s eyes were filled with an incredulous look.
