Chapter 581 -588: How Can You Bully People Like This?! (Third update)
What kind of soil?
Not only the Ghost Pill Master himself, but everyone on the scene paused, not having heard of it before.
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen with weird expressions, not knowing what he was trying to do.
In fact, everyone had been utterly confounded by Yang Zhen. Wasn’t this meant to be a serious duel between powerful beings?
Forget the serious atmosphere, the nail-biting tension, the evenly matched, all-consuming presence, let alone trying to keep a straight face… nobody could manage that any longer.
A crowd of people looked at the Ghost Pill Master, who seemed like his faith in humanity had been shattered, all with a sense of surrealism.
This didn’t seem like a fierce competition at all but rather… it was hard to describe. It was ridiculously absurd, like a slapstick comedy!
Meanwhile, everyone exchanged glances while looking at Yang Zhen. This Yang Zhen was truly… unconventionally eccentric.
“What on earth are you trying to say?” The Ghost Pill Master glared at Yang Zhen angrily. He had been bamboozled by Yang Zhen and it took him a good while to regain his composure.
The rest of the crowd also fixed their eyes on Yang Zhen, all waiting for him to speak.
In a rainbow tower next to the alchemy competition, the snow-white-haired Lord of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain watched Yang Zhen and the Ghost Pill Master with amusement, nodding slightly and saying, “This Yang Zhen is truly a marvel.”
An elder beside him snorted lightly and said, “Frivolous and unstable-minded, such a young man won’t achieve anything significant. I hope the disciples of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain will not get too close to this man, lest they be influenced by him.”
The Lord of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain glanced at the elder, shaking his head and saying, “Unhinged but not deranged, humble and patient, Elder Huo, you are wrong. Yang Zhen’s spiritual realm is so serene that it might even surpass your level!”
“What?” The elder was stunned, looking at the snow-white-haired lord in disbelief, he exclaimed, “Lord… why do you hold such a high opinion of Yang Zhen?”
The Lord of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain chuckled mysteriously before saying, “The Ghost Pill Master is a crafty and ruthless character. As soon as such a person arrives on the scene, they can manipulate everyone’s emotions immediately. At their level, these emotions can even influence their surroundings, and thus create a powerful aura to pressurize their opponents…”
Hearing the words of the Lord of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, Elder Huo’s eyes narrowed in surprise and he wondered, “Could it be? The Ghost Pill Master has reached the Tri-Floral Realm, being able to utilize everything in the world to his advantage, can Yang Zhen, who is merely an Alchemy Grandmaster, also do the same?”
The Lord of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain fell silent for a while before nodding and saying, “I had doubts at first too. However, Yang Zhen’s recent performance confirmed my thoughts. His proficiency in alchemy probably rivals that of the Ghost Pill Master.”
“Doesn’t that mean this is essentially a dragon vs. tiger kind of battle?” Elder Huo laughed heartily. His face clearly looked ecstatic as he asked the Lord’ “How are you so sure that Yang Zhen’s proficiency is not lesser than that of the Ghost Pill Master?”
The Lord of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain took a deep breath, “Yang Zhen’s words and actions seemed absurd and eccentric, yet, within a couple of sentences, he managed to take control of the situation. Not only did he stir up everyone’s thoughts, but he also completely disoriented the Ghost Pill Master. Could you… possibly do the same?”
“Do the same?” Elder Huo widened his eyes, “You’ve got to be joking. At most, I could be evenly matched with the Ghost Pill Master. We’d be wrestling for …”
At this point, Elder Huo suddenly understood everything. He slapped his thigh and exclaims, “I get it now. As soon as Yang Zhen and the Ghost Pill Master appeared, they started vying for the moral high ground, this… is really quite frightening when you think about it!”
“This is a clear battle of wits, a real struggle between alchemists.” The Lord of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain nodded and said, “Having the chance to witness such a battle is a great opportunity for the disciples of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, especially for our girl GuanGuan. She might even level up because of this.”
On hearing this, Elder Huo was completely taken aback. His gaze towards Yang Zhen was filled with complex emotions.
Now, the eyes of everyone on Yang Zhen were filled with curiosity. Most of them were confused, puzzled, not knowing what Yang Zhen ultimately wanted. And what did he mean by his Nirvana Purity?
At this point, Yang Zhen suddenly laughed, walked up to the Ghost Pill Master, patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t be so nervous, my dear friend. Nirvana Purity is just a kind of dance. If you lose, all you need to do is dance in front of everyone. How about that?”
This…
Everyone almost spat out their drinks upon hearing this.
What the hell? It’s a dance?
Was Yang Zhen mad or a demon to want the Ghost Pill Master to dance?
No matter what the Nirvana Purity dance might be, just the thought of the Ghost Pill Master—this cunning and evil man—dancing in front of everyone made most people unable to hold back their laughter. A group of them burst out laughing all at once.
An evil Ghost Pill Master, cloaked in black, gambled his chance at experiencing blissful Nirvana in front of a vast crowd. This Yang Zhen was truly poisonous!
“You!” The Ghost Pill Master erupted in anger, but soon a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said, “Alright, since you wish to raise the stakes, let us raise them. As you said, what if you lose?”
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, staring into the Ghost Pill Master’s hawk-like eyes, and declared word by word, “If I, the Sao Saint, lose, you can take my life. How about it?”
Woah!
Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, everybody present was stunned.
Nobody expected Yang Zhen to take the initiative and make this declaration. Betting his life against the Ghost Pill Master’s chance of experiencing Nirvana, Yang Zhen seemed to be at a disadvantage no matter how you looked at it.
But… who could say for certain that Yang Zhen would indeed lose?
“Hehehe, hahahaha…”
An hysterical laughter sounded. The Ghost Pill Master stared at Yang Zhen and said, “Well played, Yang Zhen. You did not disappoint me. As you said, I’ll take that bet!”
Yang Zhen chuckled, patted the Ghost Pill Master on the shoulder, and turned towards Fang Zhongjian. “Brother Fang, we meet again.”
Fang Zhongjian grunted coldly, staring at Yang Zhen, unable to articulate his thoughts.
Yang Zhen laughed heartily and asked, “How about it, are you satisfied with this Sao Saint’s risk?”
“What are you trying to say?”
Having learned from his past mistakes, Fang Zhongjian was clearly not as gullible as before.
Yang Zhen clucked his tongue in amazement, laughing as he said, “I’ve arrived, and I’ve made my bet. Isn’t it time you release Miss Feng? You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, harassing a young lady. Are you not afraid of becoming a laughing stock? Or are you not worried about the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land being ridiculed?”
Fang Zhongjian’s face changed and he was about to respond. However, he was immediately overwhelmed by the public’s criticisms, the spray of their saliva almost hitting Fang Zhongjian’s face.
“Fang Zhongjian, I didn’t expect you to sink so low. Using a girl as leverage to threaten Yang Zhen.”
“Damn it, how could the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land harbor such a scoundrel? Fang Zhongjian, release Miss Feng already. Compete fair and square, what skill does threatening with a hostage require?”
“Could it be that everyone from Heavenly Spring Sacred Land is so ignoble and shameless? What a Holy Land, they are far behind Heavenly Snow Holy Domain.”
…
As people talked, many started cursing. They threw all kinds of insults, and the crowd was so large that Fang Zhongjian wouldn’t even know who to retaliate against.
The Ghost Pill Master stared at Yang Zhen with a grim expression and whispered in his ear, “Well played, Yang Zhen. You advance by retreating. I lost this round. But in the next round, you will die a miserable death.”
Yang Zhen curled his lips, laughing yet not laughing as he looked at the Ghost Pill Master. All of a sudden, he exclaimed, pointing at the Ghost Pill Master, “What? You don’t want to release her? You…you can’t do that! Elders of Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, I don’t mind if you want to seize control from Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, but…you can’t be challenging me to fair Alchemy contest on one hand and threaten me with a defenseless girl on the other! There’s no such rule in this world!”
At this point, Yang Zhen turned to the crowd with a sad face, “Everyone, please judge for me. They can’t bully people like this!”
“You!”
“You!”
The faces of both the Ghost Pill Master and Fang Zhongjian looked as though they had just swallowed excrement.
“This bastard, he did it all on purpose, everything was planned.”
“Silence!”
One of the elders from Heavenly Spring Sacred Land shouted, his face beet-red.
