Chapter 429: One Against a Hundred (Third Update)

"General Zang should still be able to hear us."

Cao Zhiyin's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, but he reacted extremely quickly and immediately added:

"By what right does he forbid me from staying by His Highness Tianye's side! I refuse to accept this!"

"He is going too far!"

He gave He Kaifeng a wink, then shoved his own elbow directly into his hand, and with an angry face, made as if to charge into the Earth Gate.

"Don't stop me! I want to stay by His Highness's side forever!!!!"

He Kaifeng's mouth twitched; he really wanted to shake off his hand, but he still cooperated by pulling him back a couple of times.

"That..."

"Shut up! Even if he were standing right in front of me, I would still question him: why won't he let me continue following His Highness Tianye?"

"That!!!"

He Kaifeng shouted loudly, shook off Cao Zhiyin's hand, and said irritably: "Alright, stop acting. They shouldn't be able to hear us now."

"Oh."

Cao Zhiyin stopped his exaggerated performance, smacked his lips in annoyance, and complained to He Kaifeng: "Why is it this guy leading the team this time? I really can't stand him."

"Who knows? In any case, it was all His Majesty the Divine Emperor's decision." He Kaifeng shrugged indifferently, not caring at all.

"Anyway, our mission now is to hold this Earth Gate, become the leaders of this Outer Domain Human Realm, and finally get eliminated when we enter the second round."

The strength of several people was at the Earth Realm; the final outcome of forcibly staying in the Outer Domain would be automatic elimination.

"Didn't you not want to put in any effort anyway? Now it's perfect; just wait another seven days and you can watch the show."

Cao Zhiyin thought about it and realized that was indeed the case, and his irritable mood improved quite a bit.

"And you?"

"Me? I don't care. Staying here is actually more relaxing." Although He Kaifeng was one of the chosen prodigies participating this time, he did not take the matter to heart; with this time, it would be better to cultivate more.

"Tsk... I don't know if they can really pull it off in the end."

Cao Zhiyin's attitude remained unchanged; he did not think highly of Zang Zhenyu and did not believe he could suppress the heroes of Beiming.

"Anyway, with the General and His Highness here, it was never our place to worry, not to mention that the things that follow have nothing to do with you or me anymore."

Although He Kaifeng did not jump out like Cao Zhiyin, his thoughts were much the same; otherwise, he would not have been kept behind by Zang Zhenyu to accompany him.

"This Earth Gate is not bad. Although it suppresses cultivation, it is still somewhat beneficial for practice."

He lowered his eyes and looked at the crowd outside the perimeter of the Earth Gate, who were unsure whether to retreat or advance, as if looking at a group of insects, and said blandly:

"It's just these guys gathered outside; they are truly an eyesore."

The reason He Kaifeng and Cao Zhiyin could talk to each other was because he came from a noble background, while the others... were nothing but insects.

Cao Zhiyin understood and did not find his mindset strange. He ordered the Divine Guard stationed there: "These people are bothering Young Master He. You go, a few of you, and drive them all away."

The leader of the Divine Guard, who had been leading the charge at the front just moments ago, nodded. His gaze swept over ten people; without him needing to speak, those people automatically stepped out, formed a new formation, and walked quickly down toward the Earth Gate.

"They're coming. What are they going to do?"

After those ten people went down, they did not immediately take action, but instead lit a stick of incense and stuck it into the ground.

The crowd was a bit confused at first, but soon, they realized what these ten Divine Guards meant.

"Are they planning to drive us away? Only giving us the time of one stick of incense?"

"Going too far!"

"They even only sent ten people!!!"

Humiliation.

The sects guarding this place felt their faces burning.

To think they want to dismiss us with just ten people; how dare these thieves insult us like this!?

But even so, no one stood up to resist.

The warning from the past was still fresh in their minds, and the lingering might made them unable to summon the courage to resist.

But just as some people could not hold on any longer and were preparing to leave according to the Divine Guards' demands, the dust rising in the distance attracted everyone's attention.

"What is that?"

After a few breaths, the shadow gradually became clear; it was a carriage speeding along!

"A carriage?"

The carriage's speed was not slow, but after all, it was a mortal horse, so it could not be considered fast compared to cultivators, yet its momentum was not small.

Driving the carriage was a youth with a head of white hair. Seeing the crowd gathered outside the Earth Gate, he shouted loudly:

"Make way, everyone make way!"

"Pull in your legs, excuse me!"

Hm?

Is he planning to charge the formation directly?

That's right, this youth missed the previous scene and did not know how powerful the Divine Guards were.

"Young friend, these are the Divine Guards of the Southern Border; you must not force your way through!"

Someone spoke up to stop him, but the youth turned a deaf ear and continued shouting to the front:

"I'm in a hurry to go block someone!"

He had an expression that said, "I've warned you in advance, don't blame me if you get hit later!", without the slightest intention of stopping.

Good words cannot persuade a ghost who wants to die.

Several people originally wanted to persuade him a couple more times, but after seeing this situation, they silently shook their heads and cleared the path.

"Where did this idiot come from? Seeing the Divine Guards in formation and still daring to force his way through; he truly doesn't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth."

Cao Zhiyin was still sneering, but He Kaifeng's brows furrowed slightly, feeling that something was not quite right.

At this moment, the leader of the Divine Guard seemed to sense something, his expression changed, and he shouted sternly:

"All men, heed my order! Form the array with me!"

He did not offer a single word of explanation, instead leading the remaining ninety Divine Guards to charge down and join up with the other ten.

"Form the Hundred Gods Array!"

Although the Divine Guards were unclear about the situation, they still followed their leader's command to form the array, gathering their power into the leader at the eye of the array.

The Divine Guard leader stood at the very front, watching the approaching carriage with an extremely grave expression.

No one noticed that beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead beneath his helmet!

The youth saw the battle-ready formation and a look of helplessness appeared on his face, but he did not stop the carriage; instead, he lashed it hard with a whip and took the initiative to leap forward.

He charged off the carriage alone, moving at extreme speed, slamming directly into the Divine Guard Army formation like a missile.

He was still muttering to himself:

"I'm in a hurry!"

"I already said, don't block my path!"

"This is what you brought upon yourselves."

The next instant, the spear tip of the Divine Guard leader, which had gathered the power of a hundred men, met the youth's fist.

Boom!

They flew.

But what flew away was not the youth who looked like he was courting death, but the entire hundred-man army formation!

For a moment, the whole of Heaven and Earth fell silent.

What kind of humanoid ferocious beast was this?

A single person, holding off the charge of a hundred men?

No, he even sent them flying with a direct collision!!?

After shattering the hundred-man formation, the youth gave a light leap, jumped back onto the carriage, and continued to hold the reins to drive.

"What!!?"

Fang Zhiqun, who had luckily escaped from the previous chaotic formation, watched the white-haired youth, his eyes nearly popping out of his head after seeing him shatter the battle formation with a single punch.

"Lao Ma, is this the apprentice you spoke of who hasn't taken a master yet?"
