547 Heaven Dao! He Is Fang Zhengzhi! (1/2)

The guest was stunned.

Not only the attacking guest, but the rest of the guests standing aside, and the guards and servants trying to put out the fire, too.

Even Lin Tianrong was shocked.

”Death Flame?! He actually… mastered the Law of Death Flame?”

”How is this possible? It's a special flame, how… how could he master this?!”

”What is going on?”

No one understood the situation.

As the guards and servants of the Eastern Palace, naturally, they knew what a rare Dao the Death Flame was because it was a special Dao.

The attacking guest did not possess enormous power, only at the peak of Supernatural State, but he still held an important place in the Eastern Palace.

Thanks to the Dao of Death Flame.

But now, there was also another person with the Dao of Death Flame, how could such a coincidence happen?

The same Dao had collided.

The exact special Dao.

How would this not surprise everyone?

”Who exactly are you?” asked the guest with the Death Flame. He could not resist anymore, because the Death Flame was the sign of his identity and reputation.

Now, with someone who had also mastered the Death Flame before him, he could not help but ask for his identity.

”Do you wish to know?” The masked man asked with a smirk.

The guest froze. He wanted to say ”yes”, but then he came to a realization. Since this man was already masked, he would not actually reveal his identity.

If he had revealed his identity…

Then he would have insulted himself.

”Go to hell!”

”Wait!”

Just as the guest was about to charge at the masked man, another guest spoke, his outstretched hand blocking the former.

Stunned, he looked at the guest who spoke.

The guest who spoke looked at Lin Tianrong behind him, and countless surprised guards and servants, then he said gravely: ”Together!”

With a single sentence, he had doubted the attacking guest's power.

This made the attacking guest clench his fists tightly. He glared at the masked man's Death Flame and pursed his lips.

But he quickly relaxed his fists.

”Alright!” He nodded. He understood the meaning in the other guest's words. He had lost. In fact, he had already lost when his opponent walked out of his Death Flame's grasp.

Without hesitation, the remaining two guards lit their flames of different colors, ready to strike any moment.

Upon seeing this…

The guards and servants heaved a sigh of relief.

As the special guests of the crown prince's residence, their powers were not weak at all. Even for the guest with the lowest level among the four, his special Dao reached the peak of Supernatural State.

And for the other three…

It was the Rebirth State!

Two with Rebirth beginning state, one with Rebirth intermediate state, and one with the Dao of Death Flame's peak of Supernatural State.

If they attacked together in the Eastern Palace, how could the masked man escape? Besides, innumerable guards stood by behind the four guests.

”Prepare the arrows!” Lin Tianrong finally spoke.

Although he really wanted to capture the masked man alive, he could not risk him making an escape. Thus, he needed backup.

If the masked man managed to escape from the four guests, the arrows could lend a support.

Under Lin Tianrong's orders, hundreds of guards armed with bows and arrows stood out from the crowd, each of them held a bow in their hands.

Then, razor-sharp arrows were mounted on the bows.

In fact, these were not average arrows, but specially enhanced arrows, one of the dynasty's most powerful weapons. In the entire Yan Capital, only three places had these arrows.

The emperor's palace, Ping Yang residence, and the Eastern Palace.

…

At the gates of the guesthouses in the Eastern Palace.

Ping Yang looked in the direction of the study anxiously. The fire was raging, and the study was completely charred. To make things worse, the fire seemed to spread outwards.

What a peculiar sight.

Ping Yang well aware of the Eastern Palace guards' capabilities. It wouldn't take too long for them extinguish the fire.

But…

The inferno that was engulfing the study had still not been extinguished.

And besides, countless guards gathered within the study, but they did not seem to be searching for the arsonist.

”Could the shameless fellow have been arrested?” Ping Yang had such a thought, but she dismissed it immediately.

Impossible!

This shameless fellow was so crafty, how could he be arrested this easily? He would've have planned his exit route before burning the study and then escaped.

It had to be like this!

But… why wasn't anyone searching for him around the Eastern Palace? If he had escaped, knowing Third Brother's character, the Eastern Palace would have been sealed.

Yet, why didn't it happen?

Ping Yang's worry compounded by the second.

In fact, it wasn't just Ping Yang; Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu had the same thoughts too because the activity at the study was simply too strange.

The noise that they had expected could not be heard. Instead, it was peaceful, with so many people surrounding the study as if waiting for something to happen.

But, shouldn't they be focusing on putting out the fire?

Could it be…

Something really happened to Fang Zhengzhi?

…

At the entrance of the study.

The four guests joined forces, attacking the masked man.

Three rays of light simultaneously charged towards from the sides and back of the masked man. At his front, a giant dark blue flame rose, ready to strike any moment.

The masked man finally moved.

He did not move as fast as the three rays of light, but he was retreating in the direction of the Death Flame. When the three rays of light approached him, he had moved beside the guest with the Death Flame.

”Die!” The guest with the growing Death Flame roared. If the masked man hadn't moved, he would not have been attacked for all four guests at the same time.

But he had done so.

Thus…

It wasn't the guest's fault.

With a mighty fist engulfed in Death Flame, strengthened by the insults against him, he struck mercilessly toward the back of the masked man's head.

Even if he didn't die, he had to be unconscious.

And it was approaching!
