684 Baptism by the Holy Words, An Unexpected Change (1/2)
”Oh, so this is what they meant by 'go big or go home'?” Fang Zhengzhi felt the immense aura from underneath him as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He felt as if his very body was about to be burned.
Evidently, the only effect of using 'all his powers' was to further enrage Tian Xing.
”Wait a minute!” Fang Zhengzhi blurted out.
”B*stard, what do you want to say? This is your last chance!” Just when Tian Xing was about to rush toward him, he stopped. However, his aura did not change.
”Pavilion Leader Mu, you stopped me from opening my Near-Life Door, which is tantamount to helping Tian Xing. If that's the case, shouldn't you help me once? This will be much fairer.” Fang Zhengzhi did not say these to Tian Xing but instead, he spoke to Mu Qingfeng, who slammed his Near-Life Gate shut.
”Help him once? This guy threw his rubbish everywhere and messed up our Heaven Dao Pavilion. If we don't go after him, it's already a form of kindness. Now, he wants master to help him?”
”Heaven know what will happen to the Heaven Dao Pavilion should the Near-Life Gates be opened!”
”Shameless indeed!”
When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, their faces changed as they criticized him non-stop.
Mu Qingfeng's face turned black too. He looked at the Near-Life Gate, which was closed, as he fell silent.
Fang Zhengzhi's words were no doubt shameless.
However, they were not unreasonable. Yet, this was the Heaven Dao Pavilion. How could Mu Qingfeng allow Fang Zhengzhi to open the Near-Life Gate here?
As for helping Fang Zhengzhi secretly…
Impossible!
”If you can live, I'll grant you one thing!” Mu Qingfeng waved his robes and finally gave Fang Zhengzhi an answer.
”So we'll do it like this? Fine!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head.
He naturally knew that Mu Qingfeng would not allow the Near-Life Gate to open in the Heaven Dao Pavilion. However, he could not be blamed for this. Naturally, they still had to talk terms.
Whether he could live or not would now depend on his fate.
”B*stard, do you have anything else to say? My last move will kill you quickly!” Tian Xing was getting impatient.
”What must come… will eventually come!” Fang Zhengzhi sighed. He felt that at this point, his life was difficult indeed. He could not run and he could not fight…
Since there was nothing he could do, he had to fight with all his might. Other than that, he had no other option.
At this point, Fang Zhengzhi did not say anything. He clenched his fists and he pointed his Traceless Sword at Tian Xing. If they were to fight, he could not lose to Tian Xing in terms of aura.
So what if he was the Leader of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain and one of the most powerful beings in the Holy Region? To beat a dog… Wait a minute, he was no dog, and he had no master.
All he could say was a barefooted person was not afraid of someone who wore shoes.
”Bring it on! Don't think I'll be f*cking scared of you just because you have a crappy helmet. Let me tell you, I have yet to use my full strength!” As Fang Zhengzhi said that, he looked at Tian Xing disrespectfully.
”Crappy helmet?!”
”He dares to call the armor Tian Xing made with his Blood Source a 'crappy helmet'?”
”He's unbelievably arrogant and shameless!”
”Wait a minute, he said that he has yet to use his full strength. Can it be real?”
”Can we trust his words?”
When the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, their look of disgust turned into anger as they cursed and swore at him.
Insulting Tian Xing was worse than insulting them.
”Master, kill this arrogant b*stard!” The disciples of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain cried out.
”Motherf*cker! Even if I lose, I can't appear scared!” Fang Zhengzhi's mouth twitched. He looked arrogantly at the incensed Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples.
Then…
He moved too!
”You snooze, you lose!” Fang Zhengzhi thought. Before Tian Xing could attack, Fang Zhengzhi unleashed his attack with all his might. Instantly, a purple dragon coiled around his body.
The sword roared. The dragon roared.
The moment Fang Zhengzhi descended, his body started to swirl rapidly and he fused with the purple dragon. He was now a purple draconic streak.
”He attacked first!”
”Is he playing some trick?”
”It must be!”
When the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples saw the descending purple dragon, they were all terribly shocked.
Tian Xing's eyes opened wide too.
He never expected Fang Zhengzhi to attack him first. In his mind, he thought that Fang Zhengzhi would try and buy time for himself.
However, now that Fang Zhengzhi came at him, he stopped hesitating and attacked straight away.
Instantly, Tian Xing disappeared from where he was. He was so fast that the naked eye could not see him.
”Die!” He roared in anger.
”Bring it on!” Fang Zhengzhi roared back furiously. At the same time, a cerulean light appeared at the tip of his sword.
However, the moment the cerulean light appeared, he suddenly felt as if something humongous had charged into the space in front of him.
The force of impact seemed capable of tearing the space apart.
Then…
There was no 'then'.
This was because Tian Xing was already in front of him.
He appeared between the cerulean light and him. The suppressive power of his black armor was akin to a mountain.
In particular, much of it came from the golden runes on his armor.
Complex and ancient. However, they seemed to encompass all creations.
Fang Zhengzhi's body remained where he was. Purple light continued to shine on his blade. However, he could not stab with it.
He felt disorientated. When he looked at the golden runes, he felt as if they could not be violated. It was akin to a mortal man meeting a god.
Cloud patterns?
Golden runes?
Before he took the 'Heaven Sage Dao Tablet' from the top of Cang Ling Mountain, he saw cloud patterns and golden runes engraved onto the walls of the huge palace.
After he took the tablet, he saw them again.
For example, he saw it on Wu Feng's emerald-green flute. He also saw it on Emperor Lin Mubai's carriage. When Wu Yuer transformed, he saw the cloud patterns too.
However, he had seen someone who could make cloud patterns and golden runes appear on his armor like Tian Xing, who had combined his Origin Energy and bloodline.
Of course, he should have spoken more with the Heavenly Oasis Saint about the Holy Region and the Sage State.
Sadly, the Heavenly Oasis Saint was too utilitarian. He would only tell Fang Zhengzhi more about the Sage State and the Holy Land if he joined the Shadow Sect.
At that time, he was only in the Supernatural State.
He thought that the Holy Region and the Sage State were distant objects in the future. There was no use concerning himself with them then. Hence, he was rather reluctant.
He could not stab him
What the h*ll!
