Chapter 513: Chapter 507: The Murder Plan

Watching Ye Zhen’s sudden turn to a smiling face, a kind of indescribable strange feeling abruptly surged into Yang Zhengxi’s heart.

For some reason, Yang Zhengxi felt that Ye Zhen’s face was both familiar and unfamiliar!

The reason he said this was that Ye Zhen’s smiling face, which he saw, seemed somewhat different from Ye Zhen’s previous appearance.

But this face, different from before, seemed very familiar to him, as though he saw it every day.

"It’s too familiar, who could it be?"

"I remember now, isn’t that my own appearance?"

Yang Zhengxi suddenly showed an astonished look on his face, as Ye Zhen’s smile from before vaguely resembled him.

"What is he trying to do?"

His eyes scanning sharply like a hawk, Yang Zhengxi’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Gone!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Zhen, who had just been giving him a strange smile, suddenly disappeared, vanished into thin air.

All he could see was the Demon Beasts being chased by the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King, scattering in all directions, with no trace of any human figure.

Of course, a Silver Line Demon Eagle King rolling forward among the fleeing beast tide was too normal for Yang Zhengxi to take any notice.

Howl!

Just as Yang Zhengxi was anxiously searching for Ye Zhen’s figure, a thunderous roar suddenly rose from below him.

The moment Yang Zhengxi looked down, he saw the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King roaring in fury, as one of its silver chains whipped towards him wildly.

Yang Zhengxi’s eyebrows fiercely knitted together.

A King-level Demon Beast of Heavenly Level High Grade was very troublesome to deal with, especially one like the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King, with thick skin and immense defensive power—they were not easy to handle.

Instinctively, Yang Zhengxi twisted his body, intending to flee from this troublesome place first, and then slowly search for Ye Zhen. Since Ye Zhen had appeared here, within a short period, Ye Zhen definitely couldn’t escape from this area spanning a thousand miles.

Seeing Yang Zhengxi attempting to flee, the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King roared fiercely as if mad, raising its pillar-like front hoof high into the air before slamming it down onto the ground. A circle of dazzling silver ripples spread out in all directions.

Almost at the same moment, Yang Zhengxi, who had just turned his body, suddenly felt a heavy weight beneath his feet, as if a mountain had crashed down, sending him plummeting towards the ground uncontrollably.

Even as he frenetically pumped Spiritual Power, he couldn’t stop the descent; at best, he only slowed it down slightly.

Yang Zhengxi was shocked!

He saw the red-eyed Silver-horned Rhinoceros King howling as it charged madly towards him, one after another, its silver chains whipped towards him like crazy.

This scene confused Yang Zhengxi greatly; he hadn’t provoked the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King—could it be that the beast had gone mad?

Suddenly, Yang Zhengxi saw blackened scars on the back of the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King, "Marks from a Heavenly Thunder strike?"

At that thought, coupled with Ye Zhen’s strange smile from earlier, along with Ye Zhen’s features that had shifted to look quite similar to his, Yang Zhengxi instantly understood everything!

But it was too late.

The blood-red-eyed Silver-horned Rhinoceros King focused relentlessly on him, ceaselessly unleashing Geomagnetic Waves to trap him to the ground while shooting silver chains one after another, furiously bombarding Yang Zhengxi!

"Ye Zhen, fuck your ancestors!"

In the forest, Yang Zhengxi cursed loudly as he was awkwardly forced to flee by the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King.

While he coped with the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King’s frenzied attacks, he cursed repeatedly—every attack from the beast provoked another curse!

Yang Zhengxi was more than just angry—he was furiously insane!

In just a few short days, he had been tricked by Ye Zhen several times!

The first two times were still manageable, as it was each showing their abilities. But this time, he was played like a monkey by Ye Zhen!

Originally it was the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King pursuing Ye Zhen, but now it was chasing him as if he was Ye Zhen, relentlessly pursuing!

Moreover, it was the kind that left him with no way to argue!

Shame!

A bloody disgrace!

Yang Zhengxi felt his blood churning within him, on the verge of erupting!

More than twenty miles away in the skies, Ye Zhen, transformed into the Silver Line Demon Eagle King, was hovering in the void, coldly observing Yang Zhengxi getting brutally abused by the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King!

That’s right, brutally!

Ye Zhen hadn’t expected that even a Vein Forging Realm powerhouse would end up being viciously tormented when facing the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King!

Earlier, when Ye Zhen was being pursued by the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King, had it not been for Ye Zhen taking an unexpected approach and using a shady trick, he wouldn’t have escaped the range of the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King’s Geomagnetic Waves.

Otherwise, Ye Zhen feared he would have been turned into mincemeat by the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King!

When the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King chased after Ye Zhen, creating a huge commotion, Ye Zhen had already figured that there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that Yang Zhengxi would come over.

To his surprise, half a quarter-hour later, he actually came!

That was when Ye Zhen’s preparations came into play.

Actually, Ye Zhen’s preparation was quite simple, which was to keep looking back during the escape, facing the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King so that it could get a good look at his altered appearance seven or eight times.

Ye Zhen had the True Transformation Disguise Skill, and although it wasn’t possible to make himself look exactly like Yang Zhengxi, getting about seventy to eighty percent similarity was quite easy.

Then, when Yang Zhengxi came to kill him, Ye Zhen activated the Essence Spirit Pearl of the Phantom Soul Beast King and performed a small Illusion Technique, making it seem to the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King that Ye Zhen was flying towards Yang Zhengxi and disappeared in the direction where Yang Zhengxi was.

This Illusion Technique was quite shallow and could easily be seen through by a martial artist with some accomplishment in Divine Soul Cultivation.

However, when the target was a violently temperamental demon beast, the chance of success was nearly a hundred percent.

Naturally, the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King mistook Yang Zhengxi for Ye Zhen, who had nearly crippled it, and began to fight fiercely!

Meanwhile, Ye Zhen easily transformed into the Silver Line Demon Eagle King and blended into the midst of the beast tide. Not only did the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King not notice, but as of now, even Yang Zhengxi was still in the dark!

However, if demon beasts are so powerful and numerous, why is the world still ruled by humans? Why do many powerful demon beasts still have to serve as mounts for human powerhouses?

Why?

Because demon beasts lack one thing that humans have—intelligence!

At the beginning, Yang Zhengxi was chased by the crazed Silver-horned Rhinoceros King in a very sorry state, blood spurting wildly, barely clinging to life. Especially with the Geomagnetic Wave directly controlling Yang Zhengxi’s speed, he had no other option but to fight head on.

But before long, Yang Zhengxi found the weakness of the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King—its size!

With a body forty-plus meters tall, one hundred and fifty-sixty meters long, and thirty meters wide, even though the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King increased its agility by manipulating the Geomagnetic Waves, it was still unavoidably clumsy.

Just like Ye Zhen, who used the Chasing Star Step, a body technique he grasped in a life-or-death moment when his cultivation was still in the True Essence Realm, in a blink of an eye, Yang Zhengxi also used an extremely strange body technique.

With his footwork technique alone, he toyed with the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King, who would have already been played to death if not for its terrifying control over the Power of Geomagnetism and the dreadfully powerful Silver Chain shot from the horn on its forehead.

But even so, the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King had already been hit several times by Yang Zhengxi’s Blue Sand Divine Palm.

From a distance, Ye Zhen could see a blue color starting to emerge on the wound on the left side of the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King— a sign of poisoning.

"I didn’t expect Yang Zhengxi’s Divine Power Martial Skill, Blue Sand Divine Palm, to be so vicious, that even the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King couldn’t withstand it!"

Ye Zhen was quite regretful. If it weren’t for the fact that the Geomagnetic Wave from the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King was an area-of-effect ability, which greatly restricted the speed of anyone entering its range, Ye Zhen would have already approached stealthily and struck Yang Zhengxi with the Heavenly Thunder of Fright.

A successful sneak attack, and Yang Zhengxi would have had a hard time not dying!

Unfortunately, at this moment, Ye Zhen was unable to approach the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King and could only watch helplessly as this golden opportunity slipped by!

As he was pondering, Ye Zhen’s gaze suddenly froze.

He saw the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King suddenly let out a mournful roar, its body shrouded in geomagnetic silver light, as it abruptly rose into the air and retreated in the opposite direction.

The Silver-horned Rhinoceros King had realized that it was poisoned, and severely at that. In just this short span of time, the wound on its left flank had deteriorated into a gaping hole.

Seeing this, Yang Zhengxi certainly would not let go.

Repeatedly outmaneuvered by Ye Zhen, his rage had no outlet. After being brutally battered by this beast, he finally gained the upper hand and would not allow it to escape!

His form swiftly turned into an illusion, chasing after the fleeing Silver-horned Rhinoceros King. With a flash behind his head, the Blue Sand Divine Palm suddenly pressed down towards the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King.

At the critical moment, the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King’s body erupted with geomagnetic silver light, accelerating once again. Its mountain-like frame flashed past like lightning, its speed actually surpassing Yang Zhengxi’s Shadow Escape by several notches, causing the Blue Sand Divine Palm to miss.

"This power of geomagnetism is truly extraordinary! It actually allows this mountain-like demon beast to move faster than lightning..."

On the other side, Yang Zhengxi pursued for only a few moments before he stopped his pursuit of the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King, unable to catch up with such speed.

Moreover, he had calmed down by then. After all, in the depths of the West River Mountain Range, powerful demon beasts were rampant, and if another beast like the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King appeared, he really wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Yang Zhengxi sat down cross-legged and began to heal his wounds.

In the battle with the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King, Yang Zhengxi was repeatedly injured; not to mention the continuous vomiting of blood due to internal trauma, nearly one-third of his ribs were broken. The pressure of the geomagnetic force was extraordinary.

It was only because of the unparalleled power of his Blue Sand Divine Palm that he survived; if it had been any other Second Stage Vein Forging Realm expert, they would have likely ended up as excrement in the belly of the Silver-horned Rhinoceros King!

In the distant sky, Ye Zhen glanced at Yang Zhengxi only once and dared not look at him again, fearing to disturb him.

After careful consideration, Ye Zhen dismissed the idea of launching a surprise attack while Yang Zhengxi was injured.

Although Yang Zhengxi was wounded, Ye Zhen wasn’t in much better condition himself. The flesh around his severed arm had started to itch, but for the limb to fully regenerate, even with the stimulation of his Spiritual Power, it would take at least half a day.

However, although he discarded the idea of a surprise attack, Ye Zhen’s desire to kill Yang Zhengxi burned fiercer than ever!

Ye Zhen had come to realize that if he could not kill Yang Zhengxi, he wouldn’t be able to leave the West River Mountain Range for a very long time, and even if he did manage to leave, he couldn’t show his face.

Yet killing a Vein Forging Realm powerhouse head-on was something beyond Ye Zhen’s current Cultivation.

But if a direct approach wouldn’t work, he could opt for a more underhanded method!

"It seems that to kill Yang Zhengxi, I need to devise a well-thought-out plan!" As he murmured, the Silver Line Demon Eagle King in the sky suddenly turned into a streak of silver light and disappeared! (To be continued.
