Chapter 1119: Chapter 1146: What Do You Have to Compete With Others? (Part 1) Chapter 1119: Chapter 1146: What Do You Have to Compete With Others? (Part 1) No one knew how Yang Zhen's thick skin had come to be, not even Yang Zhen himself.
However, Yang Zhen never felt embarrassment, because, in his view, it was one of the most useless emotions. Not only did it not help at all, but it could also cause a person to lose their standard of behavior and thought.
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, the people who were present almost rushed forward to pin Yang Zhen to the ground and give him a harsh rubdown. What did he mean he could capture ten sword spirits?
Everyone was already at their wits end with one sword spirit; what made him think he could capture ten?
Now almost everyone had gone to the location of the sword spirit, and no one dared to make any bold moves, fearing the sword spirit might disappear in a flash if it felt displeased. If it weren't for a few elders from Heaven Mountain Holy Land maintaining vigilance there, even the Heaven Mountain Holy Lord and the Nine Dragons Saint would have already gone there too.
The Heaven Mountain Holy Lord looked at Yang Zhen with a peculiar expression and said, “Sword spirits are so precious in the world, where can you find ten of them? Even for this one, preventing others from obtaining it has already exceeded my expectations.”
Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. It was just one sword spirit, after all. He already possessed one. If it came down to it, he could release the Evil Shadow Black Glutton to have a heart-to-heart with that so-called sword spirit. They were all sword spirits, why couldn't they communicate properly?
Seeing Yang Zhen looking nonchalant, the Heaven Mountain Holy Lord was just about to speak when his expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look into the empty space behind him.
A practitioner came flying at high speed, dragging a long trail of air currents behind him and making bursts of sonic booms, indicating his incredible speed.
Something big must have happened. Curiosity written all over his face, Yang Zhen looked towards the newcomer–it was a great sage, whose aura, although not as strong as that of the Nine Dragons or the Heaven Mountain Holy Lord, was still far more terrifying than the aura emitted by Elder Yan.
Another powerful figure!
Heaven Mountain Holy Land, truly as reputed!
Yang Zhen's interest in the Heaven Mountain Holy Land grew even more intense.
What kind of terrifying power must it be to possess such a foundation? Could it be that a great emperor had once emerged from the Heaven Mountain Holy Land?
Very likely!
The newcomer hurried forward, an anxious expression on his face. Upon seeing the Heaven Mountain Holy Lord, his face lit up, and he quickly approached the group, respectfully saying in front of the Heaven Mountain Holy Lord, “Holy Lord, Luo Shanyang has arrived!”
Luo Shanyang?
Yang Zhen was stunned; he hadn't heard this name before.
Even Yang Zhen hadn't heard this name, yet it could make the people of the Heaven Mountain Holy Land so anxious. It seemed this guy must be quite significant.
Indeed, as soon as the name Luo Shanyang was mentioned, everyone's expressions changed, even the Heaven Mountain Holy Lord frowned and sighed, saying, “What was meant to come has finally come!”
A thought struck Yang Zhen. Listening to this tone, it seemed there was enmity?
Who dared to oppose the Heaven Mountain Holy Land?
And to even come knocking at their door?
Just as the gossip in Yang Zhen was burning brightly, the Heaven Mountain Holy Lord suddenly looked at Yang Zhen with an amused expression and said, “Your opponent has arrived!”
“What?” Yang Zhen was startled, his head shaking like a bobblehead, as he said, “Holy Lord, I think you're mistaken. My mother told me that I must keep a low profile when I'm away from home and absolutely must not fight if it can be avoided. I have never even met this Luo Shanyang, let alone have any deep grudges. How inappropriate it would be to just start fighting upon meeting!”
The deeply concerned great sage looked at Yang Zhen with a peculiar expression, hesitantly asking with concern, “The Sacred Clan, this young man, is he… a bit…”
Though he only spoke halfway, everyone could understand that this new great sage did not think highly of Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen glared and was about to speak when the Heaven Mountain Holy Lord shook his head and said, “I'm not asking you to fight.”
Relieved, Yang Zhen replied, “If it's not about fighting, that's fine. Lady, just say it, whether it's about talent or looks, or even if it's about holding liquor, I… I can take him on!”
“Impudence!” The newly arrived great sage was truly startled by Yang Zhen's words.
But as soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted it, staring with a confused face at the Heaven Mountain Holy Lord, who was not angry at all.
“Little Sister?”
What kind of address was that?
Could it be that the Holy Lord had become sworn siblings with the young man before him, addressing each other as brother and sister?
Thinking this, the newly arrived grandmaster's face turned green. If that were truly the case, this young man before him was incredible; to think he had underestimated him and even accused him of being presumptuous!
This… had offended someone!
The Heaven Mountain Holy Lord looked at Yang Zhen with a strange expression and asked, “Do you know about Luo Shanyang's background?”
Yang Zhen shook his head. Since it wasn't about fighting and killing, there was nothing to fear. Besides, even if it was about fighting and killing, Yang Zhen had never been afraid. It was just that he never got involved in fights without reason. Moreover, by the looks of it, the Heaven Mountain Sacred Land seemed to value this Luo Shanyang more than him.
“What's his story?” Yang Zhen asked curiously.
The newly arrived grandmaster hurriedly explained upon seeing that Yang Zhen was unaware of Luo Shanyang, “Luo Shanyang is the direct disciple of the Sword Demon, Li Qingtian, known as a Sword Maniac, and very powerful. It's said that he can now compete with grandmasters, and moreover, he is the only disciple of the Sword Demon, Li Qingtian.”
Sword Demon, Li Qingtian!
Yang Zhen felt a thud in his heart. Lately, he had been hearing about this Sword Demon, Li Qingtian.
He was an extraordinary person!
The reason Yang Zhen remembered Li Qingtian so distinctively was that this guy had mastered the art of “no sword in hand, but a sword in heart,” a type of boasting only heard on the azure planet, and took it to the extreme.
In the hands of the Sword Demon, Li Qingtian, everything in the world could become a sword, and horrifyingly so. Even the Nine Dragons showed respect when mentioning the Sword Demon, which indicated just how formidable this man was.
What made people even more wary was that this Sword Demon, Li Qingtian, was a rogue practitioner who straddled the line between good and evil, was unpredictable, and acted entirely according to his own wishes. He could commit the most heartless actions, but on a good day, might help an old lady cross the street or teach a strange young man the ways of the sword. In short, he was an old man nobody could predict.
Such a strange fellow, and his one and only direct disciple, must be formidable!
At the same time, Yang Zhen suddenly realized why the Heaven Mountain Sacred Land was so concerned about Luo Shanyang. Who was Luo Shanyang?
Sword Maniac Luo Shanyang!
Sword Maniac, a fanatic for the Sword Dao, with achievements undoubtedly beyond the ordinary. Such a person's arrival surely wasn't aimed at challenging the Heaven Mountain Sacred Land.
Though Luo Shanyang's master was the Sword Demon, a Sword Demon alone wasn't enough to give him the courage to strike at the Heaven Mountain Sacred Land. From this analysis, the purpose of Luo Shanyang's visit became apparent.
He was after the Sword Spirit!
Oh dear!
Yang Zhen's eyes lit up, and dragging Nine Dragons, he turned to leave, cursing as he said, “Look here buddy, if you're asking for help, at least consider our ability, man. The other party is either a Sword Demon or a Sword Maniac. How do you expect a guy practicing flashy tricks like me to compete with them? Compete with what, my devastatingly handsome face?”
No matter how Yang Zhen pulled, Nine Dragons couldn't be moved and nodded seriously, saying, “Maybe we could give it a try!”
Yang Zhen stumbled, looking around at a group of eager young fellows with a weird expression, feeling like he was jumping into a pit of fire.
“Little Sister?”
The Heaven Mountain Holy Lord smiled and said, “The Sword Maniac once said, 'Among my peers, all are but ants!'”
“Oh dear!” Yang Zhen's eyes bulged, murmuring, “It seems this foal has never experienced the delightful feeling of being rubbed into the ground!”
