‘If he didn’t use his hands, did he use his eyes instead?!

This was Chi Guyan’s first surmise, but it was a little too bold and out of this world.
Hence, she didn’t hold on to that thought for too long.
However, none of these mattered anymore. What was important was the fact that Fang Zhengzhi actually sent Nangong Hao flying. He was surrounded by countless golden sword radiances as he flew.
There was nothing but silence and shock!


If everyone thought that Fang Zhengzhi was a shameless and crafty fellow at the beginning, their impression of him had definitely changed to a truly terrifying man.
It was his absolute and overpowering strength that changed their minds.
He managed to blow Nangong Hao away with a single strike.
Boom! Nangong Hao crashed onto the ground heavily. The black armor on his body was covered in blood because the Million Sword Illustration had penetrated his body.

He’s wounded?!


Is Nangong Hao injured?


He’s so powerful. How… How did he do that?

The surrounding disciples glanced at Nangong Hao, who had dropped to the ground, then at Fang Zhengzhi’s indifferent expression. They couldn’t help but be stunned.
After all, since Nangong Hao’s appearance, his terrifying strength had left an impression in everyone’s mind.
Yan Qing was defeated even though he had the Indestructible Body. Ping Yang, who had become a Sage at the young age of 16, was also defeated. Even Chi Guyan, the Chosen One, wasn’t capable of rivaling Nangong Hao.


In that case, under normal circumstances, there wouldn’t be anyone in the Holy Region capable of fighting Nangong Hao.

Is this guy a Sage too?!


I’m afraid that his strength had exceeded a normal Sage!


He couldn’t possibly be at the peak of Sage State, could he? There are less than 10 people who have achieved the peak of Sage State, but this fellow… Looks like he’s only 18 years old!

No one believed that an 18 years old boy could achieve such a feat because everyone else who had done that was already standing at the top of this world.
For example, Heaven Dao Pavilion’s Pavilion Master Mu Qingfeng and the Great Elder, as well as Yin Yang Hall’s Hallmaster Dao Hun and Fu Xi Valley’s Valley Master Mo Shanshi.
However, every one of them had set up their own sects and became well-respected and worshipped. How could an ‘ignorant’ 18 years old kid achieve that?

In less than merely three months, this kid… Has finally grown into someone that I wouldn’t dare ignore.
Mu Qingfeng’s expression was complicated as he looked at Nangong Hao who had dropped to the ground.
Back in Heaven Dao Pavilion a few months ago, he knew that Fang Zhengzhi’s potential could even rival Chi Guyan’s if he didn’t have a limited time left when he met him for the first time.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was too wild and intractable.


He was completely unrestricted by any boundaries.
Despite that, Mu Qingfeng hesitated about it. Ultimately, he didn’t take the last step because all the elders were against it.
They were lucky, but it was a misfortune at the same time.
They were lucky that despite the unhappiness between Heaven Dao Pavilion and Fang Zhengzhi, they didn’t end up as mortal enemies that would kill each other.
Unfortunately, a godsend opportunity appeared in front of his eyes and even went up the mountain voluntarily. Yet, he did not seize it.

Ai…
Mu Qingfeng sighed softly and looked at the elders standing behind him with a regretful expression.

Pavilion Master, we…


We were short-sighted. However, we really didn’t expect that kid to survive from that kind of situation…

Several elders naturally figured out Mu Qingfeng’s mind when they saw his expression. In fact, they were equally regretful at this moment.
‘Follow the dragon’ was a phrase that had always existed in the Imperial Halls. It meant that one must join the side of the prince that had the highest chance of becoming the emperor during the fight for the position.


Once he was successful and the prince became the emperor, he would be considered a meritorious statesman. As long as he didn’t commit any outrageous crime, he wouldn’t have to worry about the rest of his life.
On the other hand, as a sect…
‘Continuity’ was the most important aspect.
Unlike how it worked in the dynasties where the emperor’s position was always passed down to his descendants, the sect leader’s position had always been open for anyone who was capable. A successful ‘successor’ could ensure that the sect’s prosperity for hundreds of years.
For example, Chi Guyan.
She displayed her talent in Great Xia Dynasty when she was 14 years old and claimed the title of Double Dragon Roll Champion with a single long sword, She shocked the entire world.
This happened in Great Xia Dynasty.
However, as a result, Mu Qingfeng personally went to invite Chi Guyan to join Heaven Dao Pavilion. Furthermore, he constructed an isolated and serene courtyard for her and even educated her personally for several years.
Why?
It obviously wasn’t because Chi Guyan was Divine Constabulary’s Princess. It was because her extraordinary talent meant that she could become a ‘successor’.



If it’s meant to be, it will be. If it’s not meant to be, it shouldn’t be forced.
Mu Qingfeng waved his hand at the elders behind him. Then, he turned towards Chi Guyan and said,
I believe that Guyan isn’t too far from breaking through to the Sage State. Once she becomes a Sage, she could bring glory to our sect too!


Yeah, if Guyan becomes a Sage, she wouldn’t be weaker than Fang Zhengzhi!


That’s right!

A few elders nodded immediately after they heard Mu Qingfeng. Although it was a pity that they couldn’t recruit Fang Zhengzhi, Heaven Dao Pavilion’s future was still bright as day with Chi Guyan around.
Mu Qingfeng didn’t say anything else because there was no point being melancholic now that things had come to this point. The most important thing now was defeating Nangong Hao and figuring out how he got out of Heaven-Receiving Door, and what exactly had happened to Heaven Dao Pavilion.
In fact…
Fang Zhengzhi seemed to be the only person capable of doing that now.
Boom! There was another loud bang because Fang Zhengzhi arrived in front of Nangong Hao once again after he had crashed onto the ground.
As the saying went, ‘kick a man while he’s down’.
Fang Zhengzhi knew that from young, so he naturally wouldn’t give up on such a good opportunity. He sent Nangong Hao flying with a kick again.

Hao’er!
Nangong Tian exclaimed as he clearly couldn’t accept this sudden change in the situation. His face was full of concern and worry.
Fang Zhengzhi was obviously ignoring the noises around him. What he needed to do now was to take Nangong Hao down in one swift motion.
He threw a punch again.
It was right in front of Nangong Hao’s face instantaneously.
However, when his fist was less than an inch away from Nangong Hao’s face, it was stopped by a sword.
Boom! A bloody light burst into the sky.
It was a powerful force that was frighteningly violent. It contained a cold-blooded chill as if it would devour everything in the surroundings.

Eh?
Fang Zhengzhi was a little surprised. He didn’t witness the battle between Nangong Hao, Ping Yang, and Chi Guyan, so he was astonished by this sudden burst of suction power.
However, he was merely a little taken aback.
Without much hesitation, he kicked Nangong Hao, who was wrapped in the bloody light and sent him flying again. It was a normal move, but it worked pretty well.
Boom! Nangong Hao crashed onto the ground again and rubbles flew everywhere. The intense bloody light flowing around his body had shrouded him completely.
Blood flowed out from the corner of Nangong Hao’s mouth and dripped onto the ground, before gradually merging with the Blood Offering Illustration.

Young Master Fang, your progress after these few months definitely did not disappoint me!
Nangong Hao slowly stood up, and the rubbles on his shirt fell off. A bloodlike radiance slowly appeared on Wuwei Sword.

Are you surprised?
Fang Zhengzhi replied with a question.

I’m definitely a little surprised. However, this… Doesn’t seem to be enough!
As Nangong Hao said that, the black armor on his body started exuding a golden radiance, and the blood on the armor suddenly started flowing rapidly and quickly disappeared. It felt like they had been reabsorbed by his body.
It was a strange scene.

Eh? Is that possible!
Fang Zhengzhi felt that he was a knowledgeable and experienced man at this point in time. However, he was still startled by such a strange scene.
‘Could blood flow back to the body after flowing out?

‘Could this be the legendary…’
‘Spongebob Squarepants?

Fang Zhengzhi’s understanding of the world had been refreshed. However, these thoughts were definitely unnecessary at the moment. While he was startled, a stream of bloody light had already appeared in front of him.
Swoosh! The bloody light flew past his shoulder. It was so fast that it created an afterimage. However, it didn’t seem to be heading towards him.

Hmm?!
Fang Zhengzhi looked back intuitively and saw Chi Guyan sitting on the ground, pale as a sheet, as well as Ping Yang, who was lying in her arms unconsciously.
It was heading towards Chi Guyan and Ping Yang!
‘Wait!’
‘It’s heading for me as well!’
Just as Fang Zhengzhi was about to turn around, he caught a glimpse of a faint shadow. It was a sword that was aiming for his throat.
In that split second, countless thoughts went through his mind.
Given Chi Guyan’s strength, she should be able to stop Nangong Hao’s sword. In that case, he simply had to focus on blocking the attack that was coming towards himself.
However, what if she couldn’t?
Under normal circumstances, unless Chi Guyan was so badly wounded that she couldn’t even move, she would never rest at the side, given her personality.
Ok…
He had to admit that this was a merciless attack!
In that case, he had to find out if the move that he had recently come up with was as powerful as he had envisioned.

Combination – Ice Amethyst Hell!
As Fang Zhengzhi chanted that silently, the entire ground trembled violently and more than a hundred beams of black radiance appeared from beneath the ground.
It was Hell Dao!
It was one of the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques that was extremely defensive. Apart from Hell Dao, there was also the Dao of Amethyst, which the original Great Elder of Nine Pinnacles Mountain had labeled as the Dao with the strongest defense.
When these two powerful Daos are connected by ice and snow…
A strange phenomenon appeared in the sky above Heaven Zen Mountain’s Peak.
It was a massive amethyst city. The bottom part of the city was completely shrouded by a black flame, while there was a huge amount of ice and snow descending above the amethyst city.
It was an abnormal scene.
However, as soon as it had appeared, the sword that was moving towards Fang Zhengzhi’s throat suddenly stopped as if it was frozen by the falling ice and snow.
At the meantime, nine indestructible amethyst barriers appeared in front of Chi Guyan and Ping Yang out of nowhere and stopped the bloody light.
Boom! The ground sank.
Nangong Hao’s hand, which was holding Wuwei Sword, also sank at this moment. Amidst the black flame, there were many hands shaped like claws dragging his body downwards.

What’s this?!


A strange phenomenon in the sky… What kind of technique is this?!


It appears to be one of the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques, Hell Dao. However, it doesn’t seem like there is only Hell Dao, there’s also… That seems like… The Dao of Amethyst?!

At this instance, all the spectating disciples and elders stood up with their eyes agape.
That was because they had never such a technique before.
It caused a strange phenomenon in the sky!
How ridiculous was that?!
However, Nangong Hao didn’t appear to be fazed.
Crack! The ice and snow on his Wuwei Sword, as well as the sharp claws grabbing his legs, were all removed.
As compared to the surrounding people, Nangong Hao was too much calmer, as if he hadn’t seen the strange phenomenon in the sky. That was because he wouldn’t fall for the same trick again.
A strange phenomenon in the sky?
If that was Fang Zhengzhi’s first move, he would have been just as stunned as those around him. However, the present him weren’t convinced.

Is it another diversion technique?
As the bloody light in Nangong Hao’s eyes rotated again, he raised his sword and stabbed at Fang Zhengzhi without any hesitation.
However, his sword was destined to miss.
That was because the brief pause due to the ice and snow had undoubtedly given Fang Zhengzhi too much time.

Do you think you can kick up a storm in my world?!
A voice came from above Nangong Hao’s head. Then, a stream of purple light blasted towards Nangong Hao.
It was a cage formed from amethyst.
The amethyst cage covered Nangong Hao completely almost in an instant and crashed towards the ground.
Boom! The ground cracked.
Black flame gushed out of the cracked ground and lit up the amethyst cage. Meanwhile, ice and snow were falling from above the amethyst case as if they were going to put out the black flame. However, for some reason, the two opposing forces created a state of balance.
This balance was reinforcing the amethyst cage in a strange manner. The top of the cage was covered in ice and snow while its bottom was burning as brightly as the sun.

A Clash of Ice and Fire, completed!
Fang Zhengzhi stepped on the amethyst cage, and his long blue robe was swaying with the mountain breeze.
