648 1 Vs. 1000, Who Is The True Powerhouse? (1/2)
Fang Zhengzhi looked at the Heaven Dao disciples in front of him and cracked a little smile.
Indeed, the nonsense in the Book of Past Life blabbering about how he could trick these powerhouses with mere words was all false. Against these opponents, they would not give you any time for trash talk, even for a considerably refined place like the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
However, he still had to verify who was the true powerhouse over here.
”Kneel?” In the instant that the Heaven Dao disciple launched his foot out, Fang Zhengzhi also acted.
If the Heaven Dao disciple was quick, then Fang Zhengzhi was even faster, immediately spinning behind his opponent when he only seemed to have moved his shadow.
”Ka-cha!” A rattle. The Heaven Dao disciple's body had been immobilized.
A hand was grasping his neck, and the force of the grip suffocated him so much that he ceased all movement. It was so difficult to breathe that he couldn't straighten his neck, and could only let his head lean to one side. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Indeed, an attack to his heart would result in instant death, but having his neck broken or having his brain suffocated from oxygen alive was not exactly an ideal situation either.
”He's so fast!”
”He's brutal!”
The various Heaven Dao disciples stared at Fang Zhengzhi in awe, marvelling at the strength that he just revealed. After all, very few people possessed such incredible speed even among the prodigies of the Heaven Academic Altar.
However, this sense of awe did not instill any sort of hesitation.
”Slash! Slash slash slash!”
”....”
Countless swords and daggers left their sheaths and in an instant, all the Heaven Dao disciples had drawn their weapons, pointing the razor-sharp edges of all their swords straight at Fang Zhengzhi.
”Release my junior!”
”If you dare harm my junior, I won't let you off!”
Angry bellows sounded from the crowd, but Third Elder waved his hand and gestured for the disciples to stop their hollering.
”Do you think that we can't do anything to do when you have a hostage?” Third Elder stared at Fang Zhengzhi holding the disciple hostage, his eyes turning cold.
”But I don't want a hostage.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
”You don't?” Third Elder was slightly confounded. In fact, he sensed that something ominous was about to happen the moment he noticed his disciple lunge at Fang Zhengzhi, but it was too late.
However, he did not believe Fang Zhengzhi's claim that he did not want a hostage. After all, it was completely different from what Fang Zhengzhi was doing now.
”Um, I don't.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
Following that, he kicked the Heaven Dao disciple behind the knee.
”Plop!” The disciple immediately buckled to the ground on his knees.
This made the disciple humiliated beyond words. He certainly never expected that he would be so easily suppressed. His opponent was too quick, and didn't seem to even use the Dao of All Creation for this move, instead relying solely on his own speed to take him down.
How was this possible? Yet, it was the truth.
And even worse, his head was seemingly bashed with something the moment he kneeled down. The tremendous force caused his vision to black out instantly and lose his consciousness.
”Dong!” The Heaven Dao disciple's head fell to the ground.
Fang Zhengzhi smirked as he retracted the black metal bar which had morphed its appearance but reverted to its form. Then, he gave the Heaven Dao disciple sprawled unconscious on the ground a good kick, sending him flying.
The other disciples evidently did not believe that Fang Zhengzhi would simply release his hostage like this, but they fetched their unconscious comrade in a hurry.
Third Elder and Fifth Elder exchanged glances, both their eyes brimming with suspicion. After all, Fang Zhengzhi's move was certainly not the smartest.
”You want to exchange his life for yours?” Fifth Elder glanced at the unconscious Heaven Dao disciple, then looked back at Fang Zhengzhi and asked.
”No.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
”Then what is the meaning of this?”
”Nothing much. I just want to say, if the Heaven Dao Pavilion really wanted to retaliate, shouldn't you send a more respectable opponent for me?” Fang Zhengzhi raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a smirk.
”Wah!”
Almost all the Heaven Dao disciples were astounded, but exploded in anger in the next moment.
”Let me teach this brat a lesson!”
”How dare he provoke the Heaven Dao Pavilion?! Does he really think we're worthless?”
”Move out of the way, let me educate this brat!”
In an instant, eight Heaven Dao disciples emerged from the crowd, each of their faces seething with sinister fury and an intimidating aura.
”Are they taking turns to attack me? Or do they intend to come at me all at once? It seems like the Heaven Dao Pavilion can only rely on their strength in numbers.” Fang Zhengzhi twitched his lips and curled his finger at his assailants without a care in the world.
”How insolent!”
”Does this brat actually think that he can trample all over the Heaven Dao Pavilion?”
”Who the heck is this scoundrel?”
The Heaven Dao disciples at the forefront gazed at Fang Zhengzhi, not noticing a single trace of fear on this face. They were slightly astonished. After all, in all the years of the Heaven Dao Pavilion's existence, no one has ever dared to challenge them so recklessly.
