Yang Zhai, come out already, or these guys will kill me by making me laugh, hahahaha," the young man said and laughed like crazy.
"We should stop this farce. Have you guys forgotten about the purpose we are here for? The one we are here to deal with is Yang Zhai, The Blood Demon. And you are still thinking of joking around. And as for you Hue Chi, have you forgotten your manners? How can you laugh like this in front of everyone?" An old man— with a white beard, that extended to his feet— said. After talking to others, he scolded the young man, who was laughing. It seemed like they had a close relationship.
"Don't you find it funny too, grandfather? Did you look at the face of the one, whose son forgot how to wee-wee, hahaha, it's hilarious." The young man still laughed.
"Silence, you fool! And also, I am your master here, not grandfather," the old man scolded the young man beside him.
The young man fell silent.
"Yang Zhai, are you coming out, or should we come in?"
"Yeah, come out already. Are you so scared that you aren't even coming out?"
…..
In the cave,
Yang Zhai was still resting his head on a sword's hilt when he heard the voices outside. He opened his eyes and the ground appeared in front of him. He knew that this day was going to come sooner or later. He looked like a man in his forties or so. It seemed like he had once again extended his life or so. His hair was still white, they were as long as one and a half meters and were only a little above his feet. Two snakes were coiled around his hands and arms. His feet were on the ground, and he was sitting on a rectangular rock. He was calm and not at all nervous or anxious.
He stood up slowly. When he did that, the cave started to shake. The tip of the sword was touching the ground, its hilt was in his right hand.
The sword was excluding only a wisp, but before anything could happen, it was blocked in an energy field of four to five inches. Its sound, as well as the explosion, was blocked by the energy field, the energy field was transparent. If the wisp was not blocked by the field, it would explode and destroy the whole cave with the mountain. This kept on happening around the sword until Yang Zhai stopped it. The energy field was also released by Yang Zhai to stop the wisps from creating destruction. This was also the reason no one dared to attack the cave or come in.
Even though the people outside the cave had come to kill him, they still had to show respect. Because everyone, even a fool, was aware that if somehow they attracted Yang Zhai or his gaze, they would die no matter what, even if there were many people.
Everyone was aware of Yang Zhai's power and his thinking. He didn't care about anyone, not at all. Everyone was waiting for him to come out by himself.
He took a step forward, and the shaking of the cave increased. His sword's tip was being dragged on the ground, and no line was being drawn on the ground, but there was a sound of a sword being dragged. There was only darkness in the cave, except for the entrance. From behind, only a shadow of him was visible. The cave entrance and the light coming from it were visible in front of him. It was a man walking towards the light from the darkness. It was a man who was inexplicably calm. Furthermore, it was as if he was not walking towards death. It was a man, who had lost everything in his life, but was calm. It was a man, who was betrayed by his friends, but was calm. It was a man, who had been lonely but was calm. It was a man, who was walking towards his death, but was calm. It was a man, who was alone when he was walking out of the cave.
His shadow exited the cave slowly. A sky filled with people appeared in his eyes. A broad sky was in front of him. There were people everywhere in the sky, in all directions.
When everyone in the sky saw Yang Zhai coming out of the cave, they fell silent. They knew that the moment of a great war had come.
Yang Zhai slowly flew in the sky. There was no sound around him. He appeared in the sky, surrounded by people from all directions. Nobody dared to come close to him. Nobody was brave enough. Nobody was so arrogant as to act in front of a great figure like Yang Zhai. If anyone was able to reach a higher rank, then that person was surely cunning and intelligent, or they would have long died on the path of cultivation. How could a fool survive in this world of schemes and power? Except if a person was brought up under a powerful background or force.
Yang Zhai looked at his surroundings. There were many known people in the group encircling him. He slashed his front upwards and a red hair-like thin line shot in front of him. When the people saw the line coming toward them, they hurriedly dodged. But a person was unlucky and couldn't dodge in time, because the line was shot at lightning speed. It appeared in front of his sword and disappeared the moment it appeared. It had already crossed dozens of miles in an instant.
So, one of the many people was unable to evade in time. The line didn't stop at all and pierced through the man without any stop. The one pierced by the line only had a hole as thin as a hair in between his chest. As for the red line, it had disappeared in the distance. Then an explosion was seen only four seconds later the red line was released by Yang Zhai's sword. The explosion was so loud that a man could die just by hearing it if the man was a low-rank cultivator, not to mention a mortal. A low-rank cultivator would have his lungs explode and his skull fracture. But the people here were all high-rank cultivators. After the explosion happened, sound waves came. These waves were as big as tsunamis in an ocean. Everyone had to activate their methods to stand strong in the air.
Concerning the man who was pierced by the line exploded without even realizing that he had been pierced, exploded in the air with the explosion. Yang Zhai wasn't concerned with the explosion or the person who died. He looked around him and said,
"You guys want to have a war with me?"
These were his words. Everyone was jolted awake from a daze. They were all shocked by the attack. They couldn't believe that the attack was released by Yang Zhai. The waves were so strong that they had to activate their methods and the explosion had happened so many miles away from them, in the horizon, but they were still affected that much. What if the explosion had happened in the group, right in between them, what would have happened then? And the man who was hit by the attack without even realizing that he was hit, exploded and died in an instant. How couldn't they be in a stupor?
They had thought that Yang Zhai was strong, but this was insane. No wonder, the man in front of them was so feared. It was totally reasonable. No, it was an underestimation. The man in front of them was underestimated by the world.
It was understandable that he was underestimated. After all, nobody here had faced Yang Zhai before, if they had, then they wouldn't be standing here or Yang Zhai wouldn't. He was truly a demon in a human form.
