723 Yan Xiu’s Friend (1/2)
This was a sword radiance that was formed by both green and white light. It was extremely quick, nearing the cliff right as The Sixth Elder's sword came down.
”Boom!”
Following a loud bang, a light screen appeared on the cliff. The green and white light combined to form a solid wall.
”Did that stop him?”
”I suppose so.”
The disciples couldn't help but be nervous as they looked toward the wall.
However…They were meant to be disappointed.
This was because they heard a disdainful voice right as the wall appeared, ”Why did you act cool?”
”Act cool…”
The disdainful voice echoed in the air.
The Sixth Elder's and the disciples' expressions changed. They were enraged by the humiliation.
There were several hundred disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, coupled with six disciples guarding the Sword Peak and three Elders, yet, with such a big army, they couldn't even stop Fang Zhengzhi, who was only at Rebirth State.
If this got out, the the Heaven Dao Pavilion's reputation in the Holy Region might be ruined.
”Kid, you're not going anywhere!” The Sixth Elder's face was bright red with embarrassment. He jumped down the cliff right after he landed.
The gigantic beast also dashed down like a stream of light.
”Give chase!”
”We can't let him get away no matter what!”
”Go down the cliff!”
All the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion followed the Sixth Elder and jumped down the cliff, blowing their whistles at the same time.
”Roar…”
”Roar!!”
The roars of countless beasts came from the forest, below the cliff, and within the Heaven Dao Pavilion, following which, many massive figures appeared in the sky.
”This bastard is really hard to deal with!” The Second Elder said with a sigh as he looked at the Fourth Elder.
”That's true, but we can't forgive him for destroying the Divine Rain Pond!” The Fourth Elder nodded his head and said.
”Let's chase after him, he can't get away!”
”Ok!”
…
Fang Zhengzhi felt that he was in too much of a rush.
He had never thought that he would be leaving the Heaven Dao Pavilion like this. In his original plan, he was supposed to be carrying a bunch of treasures, riding on a Snow Wind Eagle, and soaring into the sky while tens of thousands of people watched as he left. He was supposed to wave goodbye without anyone sending him off.
It was a pity that reality was nothing like he had expected.
He did obtain the treasures beforehand, but he lacked a Snow Wind Eagle, or rather, even if he did have one, he couldn't summon it now.
However, the most embarrassing thing for him was the fact that hundreds of people came to send him off even after he waved goodbye.
Furthermore, these people were fuming with the intent to kill him. Life was truly full of plot twists, and they always struck when it was the least expected.
Run…That was the only thing Fang Zhengzhi could do at the moment, and it was also his only choice. If he got caught, he would definitely be killed.
In that case, he didn't have to hesitate.
After jumping down the cliff, he continued running toward the bottom of the mountain at the fastest speed he could manage. He didn't dare to slow down even a little.
Despite so, his pursuers were getting closer, especially the Sixth Elder, who was now less than 20 steps away from him, thanks to the speed of his beast. He was still speeding up towards Fang Zhengzhi.
”Sixth Elder, it isn't gentlemanly to backstab someone!” Fang Zhengzhi shouted nervously as he headed towards the bottom of the cliff.
”Hmph! Do you think that I will fall for your trick? There's no way in hell that I would attack you so that you could run away faster by borrowing the momentum of my attack!” The Sixth Elder snorted.
”Damn it…All of them are cunning old bastards!” Fang Zhengzhi was just trying his luck, because he himself didn't believe that the Sixth Elder would fall for it. However, he would be lying if he said that he didn't have any tricks left.
Although he didn't have time to make more flashbangs and smoke grenades, he picked up all the nails and concealed weapons that he used against Tian Xing during their battle.
It was not time for them to make a comeback again.
With a wave of his hand, countless nails and concealed weapons shot towards the Sixth Elder like fireworks in the sky.
”You shameless bastard!” The Six Elder was clearly pissed off by these concealed weapons, but there was nothing he could do.
He couldn't possibly ask Fang Zhengzhi not to throw the nails at him.
The Sixth Elder had no choice but to evade the nails. Although they couldn't harm him, but he would definitely slow down if he blocked the nails with his sword.
He was dodging the nails and concealed weapons easily, but the disciples behind him weren't as skilled or as lucky as him, especially their beasts.
”Roar!”
”Aiya, what's that?!”
”Watch out for the concealed weapons!”
”Roar!!!”
The disciples and their beasts sang a beautiful symphony. The downward path was full of ups and downs, just like their lives.
”It's working well!” Fang Zhengzhi was pleased to see them getting further away, so he didn't hesitate to throw out more of his concealed weapons.
As he recalled Wu Yuer's condescending looks when he was making these nails, he could only blame her for being too young and too short-sighted.
Just as what Wu Yuer and the others had said, these nailed were useless against people who were too powerful, such as Tian Xing. They were only good for delaying the time.
However, during special occasions, like when he was escaping, these nails and concealed weapons could literally save his life.
A phrase to describe these items was 'Better to be safe than sorry'!
