Chapter 973: Chapter 1000 The Strongest BGM! You’re So Beautiful, Cat! (Three more) Chapter 973: Chapter 1000 The Strongest BGM! You’re So Beautiful, Cat! (Three more) “Hmm?”

After seeing Hua Youyue, Valley Granny slashed her sword toward the roaring dragon, furrowed her brows, took a deep look at Shangyuan Sect, and said with a playful expression, “I never expected such a little sect to have such a dazzling disciple. This young woman here is truly out of the ordinary.”

The Great Elder with white beard held a longsword, let out a cold huff, and said, “She’s merely at the first level of the Celestial Phase, which might be valuable to Shangyuan Sect, but to us, she’s insignificant. Valley Granny, you’re making a mountain out of a molehill.”

Valley Granny let out a strange laugh and said, “An ordinary practitioner at the first level of Celestial Phase couldn’t sustain such a terrifying array. If I’m not mistaken, this Mountain Protection Array before us is the legendary Sky Spring Queyang Array from Heavenly Spring Sacred Land, not some common formation.”

“What?”

Huo Lian, knocked several somersaults by the dragon’s breath and roar, said in astonishment, “It’s the Sky Spring Queyang Array?”

Valley Granny glanced at Huo Lian and said, “That’s right, it is the Sky Spring Queyang Array.”

Huo Lian burst out laughing, his face full of wild joy, “What Sky Spring Queyang Array? It was still smashed by my fist. How can the Sky Spring Queyang Array, supported by this girl, withstand the people of the Great Nether Dynasty?”

Valley Granny shook her head and said, “As I’ve said, this young woman is not ordinary; we better be cautious.”

Roar–!

The dragon’s roar shook the heavens. The yet-to-evolve dragon, facing five Half-Step Great Saints, was no match and, in moments, let out a mournful wail, having sustained serious injuries.

Seeing the dragon’s breath weaken, Hua Youyue struggled to maintain the entire Sky Spring Queyang Array, her complexion turning pale. Lu Chenghui and the others’ expressions became worried once again, and all eyes turned to the Nine Dragon Coffin.

“Kid, if you don’t come out now, this day next year will be the death anniversary of your Shangyuan Sect’s annihilation!”

Huo Lian laughed loudly as he punched towards the dragon, his face full of arrogance.

“Exhilarating! It’s exhilarating to fight such an opponent. Kid, I’ll give you one more chance. If you don’t come out, I’ll take my anger out on the entire Shangyuan Sect.”

Angry shouts came one after another, witnessed by the practitioners from Nether State, all of whom wore expressions of dismay.

“How cruel. Can you just stand by and watch Shangyuan Sect be destroyed, just like me?”

“What can we do if we don’t just watch? With the current gap in strength between the two sides, what else can you and I do other than close our eyes when the disciples of Shangyuan Sect die?”

“Yang Zhen, that bastard, he’s the one who caused all this trouble, yet he’s nowhere to be found when push comes to shove, completely heartless and ungrateful.”

“Yang Zhen, roll out here! How can you stand by and watch your fellow disciples being forced to their deaths?”

“That… that woman seems to be someone close to Yang Zhen, a stunning beauty named Hua Youyue. I’ve seen her with Yang Zhen before; she seems to be Yang Zhen’s dao companion!”

“What? Yang Zhen, that bastard, is just watching his own woman die at the hand of a Half-step Great Saint? How can he stay indifferent at a time like this?”

Every time the disciples of the Great Nether Dynasty attacked the Sky Spring Queyang Array, Hua Youyue grew paler. Watching her forcibly swallow back her blood, everyone showed a look of sympathy.

Pale and on the brink of collapse, Hua Youyue showed no change in expression as she continuously operated the Sky Spring Queyang Array, fending off the disciples of the Great Nether Dynasty time and again. After a long while, she took a deep breath, looked towards the Nine Dragon Coffin, and murmured, “I… can only support you for a little while longer.”

Inside the Nine Dragon Coffin, Yang Zhen roared, and an endless surge of energy exploded from his body, turning the entire Coffin World tumultuous.

“Senior, aren’t you being too greedy? Wanting to come back to life, while still reluctant to part with the Nine Dragon Coffin, that’s a bit unreasonable.”

Amidst the terrifying turbulence of the whirlwind, endless Heaven and Earth Rune Patterns erupted, and almost all of Yang Zhen’s power burst forth, clearly prepared for a desperate fight.

Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, the scoundrel cat’s eyes bulged round as saucers, and he cursed with a grin, “Is that even possible? Nine Dragons has definitely crossed the line, kid, show him some colors.”

“Heaven and Earth Orb? Even a Great Saint dabbles in trivia? Make way for the Sao Saint!”

Boom–!

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering boom erupted. Yang Zhen’s whole body shook as countless inscription powers roared like whirlpools within the entire Coffin World.

Rumble rumble!

The Coffin World opened wide, and various rune patterns lit up simultaneously. An ancient and sacred golden rune pattern emanated an aura of the Great Desolation, causing one’s hair to stand on end.

Within this golden rune pattern, about a third had turned into a mysterious golden color. Even the scoundrel cat could feel a familiar aura clinging to it.

“Dammit, kid, didn’t you say you had already refined half of it? What’s going on here?”

Yang Zhen’s face turned red as he clenched his teeth and said, “This old man thinks he can take advantage of the chaos, but he doesn’t know who the Sao Saint is. I originally thought to take a step back, but now, even at the cost of my own life, I must devour this piece of cake. Come on, old man, if you’re capable, come out and bite me!”

Pfft–!

The instant Yang Zhen’s words fell, his skin almost entirely burst open, with blood spraying in all directions. The scoundrel cat let out a strange yell and somehow produced a few jade vials, cursing and muttering, “Kid, your blood essence is precious right now. If you were going to spurt blood, you could have at least warned me so I could have collected more, right?”

“Open for me!”

Yang Zhen wasn’t concerned about that damned cat’s ramblings and roared in anger. A massive phantom took shape behind him, and amid the roars, terrifying gusts of wind blasted in every direction.

In the boundless heavens and earth, a faint sound of surprise seemed to echo. As Yang Zhen gasped for breath, the sky filled with golden rune patterns seemed to dim slightly.

Yang Zhen’s eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily, saying, “Thanks, when you come back to life, the Sao Saint will treat you to spicy crayfish!”

Rumble rumble!

Waves of terrifying energy surged from all directions like rivers, frantically pouring into Yang Zhen’s body.

The scoundrel cat paused in collecting blood, came up to Yang Zhen, and asked, “Kid, what is spicy crayfish, and how many more delicacies from your village have you not shared with me… Holy smokes, are you insane, kid? With so much power, you’ll explode.”

Before he could finish, the scoundrel cat’s face turned into one of shock, and he said to Han Yan’er, “Hurry, little naive one, persuade this stubborn kid. At this rate, before he refines the Nine Dragon Coffin, he’ll reduce himself to ashes.”

Han Yan’er was startled and was just about to speak when Yang Zhen’s eyes suddenly snapped open, blood-red and chillingly intense.

After a long while, Yang Zhen took a deep breath, looked at his hands, and muttered to himself, “This is the feeling, dammit, Shangyuan Sect is not somewhere you idiots can just waltz into, scoundrel cat!”

“I’m here, I’m right here,” the scoundrel cat replied, his voice muffled by the two vials he held, his eyes shining, asking, “What’s the plan?”

Yang Zhen glared at him and scolded, “What do you mean, ‘what’s the plan?’ It’s of course about being as cocky as possible. Go out there and get me the most swag BGM, today I’m taking on five at once!”

“Gotcha, BGM is my forte. How about the Bluebird? Or… Holy smokes, I’ve got it, the Bluebird BGM isn’t worthy of you. If we’re doing this, we’re bringing the best…”

Before the scoundrel cat could finish, he disappeared from the spot, and soon outside the Nine Dragon Coffin, a series of spirited songs with the lyrics ‘Cat, you’re so beautiful’ began to play.

Yang Zhen staggered, his boiling blood almost bursting forth.
