682 Beaten to Death (1/2)

The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples did not want Fang Zhengzhi to die. However, they knew that there was no chance of him surviving.

Tian Xing's strength was crazy.

He was one of the most powerful cultivators of the Holy Region. Furthermore, he used his lineage for his attack. For his second move, he would surely show no mercy.

”Hmph! He dares to play tricks on master!”

”So childish! How can master for his tricks?”

”This b*stard is so naïve!”

The Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples hated Fang Zhengzhi with a vengeance. Of course, this was in part due to Chi Guyan. After all, there was nothing they could do to Chi Guyan.

Naturally, they transferred their unhappiness onto Fang Zhengzhi.

They wanted him to die.

This would help them recover the Thousand Years Fire Herb. Doing so would reduce the loss of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain. They had to get something back.

While they may not gain anything, this would help reduce their fury.

”Kaboom!” At this moment, Tian Xing's body finally emerged from the black hole. The black light disappeared instantly.

However, his black robes were streaked with dirt.

Furthermore…

The moment Tian Xing emerged, the disciples from both the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Nine Pinnacles Mountain both opened their eyes in shock. They could not believe their eyes.

This was because Tian Xing did not emerge 'carrying a corpse', which was what they had expected. Instead, he emerged empty-handed.

What was going on?

Both Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples both filled with suspicion.

Could it be that Fang Zhengzhi was still alive?

How could this be possible?

If he was dead, why did Tian Xing not carry his corpse out? In his body, there was a stalk of the Thousand Years Fire Herb.

Questions surfaced in everyone's mind.

However, Tian Xing did not explain the situation to his disciples. In fact, he seemed to be in a bad mood, an extremely foul mood.

”Fang Zhengzhi, you b*stard. Good job!” Tian Xing looked into the distance. He looked into the distance and stared at a figure, which was in a sorrier state than him. His eyes brimmed with a cold light.

This action by Tian Xing stunned the disciples from both the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.

However, they did not remain stunned for long.

Quickly…

They all became shocked. Not only were they shocked, they were also incredulous. These sentiments could clearly be felt among all of them.

”Could it be that he really managed to rush up?!”

”Impossible, how did he do it?”

”Was it a coincidence?”

No one could believe it.

”It was the end of the line for me, but I found a way to live!” Fang Zhengzhi shouted his reply to Tian Xing. At the same time, he answered the doubts that the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples had.

However, as he said that, he looked subconsciously down at the figure clad in a long, pink dress.

Chi Guyan.

Fate had brought Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan together many times.

For example, when he was just six years old, he and Chi Guyan had a fight at the little stream outside the Southern Mountain Village. Afterward, when he was 15 years old, he met Chi Guyan, who wore the white robes of a scholar, at the same stream.

However, if one wished to talk about the first proper time they met…

It was in the Divine Constabulary.

That time, Chi Guyan's beauty astounded all of the officials of the Northern Lands Five Constabularies. It was then when he and Chi Guyan were forced into a marriage pact under strange circumstances.

When that happened, Fang Zhengzhi declared, ”It was the end of the line for me, but I found a way to live.”

The first thing Fang Zhengzhi saw when he crawled out of the black hole was Chi Guyan. This made him think of this plan.

It was very risky…

However, its results satisfied him.

Of course, Fang Zhengzhi had thought about what he could do if the plan failed. The answer was not complicated. Since he could not survive three moves, why not fight?

”You're at the end of the line, but you found a way to leave?” When Tian Xing heard this, he quietly repeated Fang Zhengzhi's words under his breath. Then, he started to laugh, ”Hahaha! Not bad! You should be proud of yourself for having tricked me!”

”Three moves, you have one left!” Fang Zhengzhi looked down. Victory and defeat rested with the last move. He naturally could not help but be careful.

”That's right… one last move. Guess I'll use my full strength!” Tian Xing nodded his head to show that his agreement with Fang Zhengzhi's words.
