737 To Be Vicious to Your Enemy, You Have to Be Vicious to Yourself (1/2)
What was awkward?
When you reminded someone to be careful but he took care of the matter cleanly and without any problem, this was greatly awkward.
The Heavenly Oasis Saint could deeply sense this form of awkwardness. Furthermore, he also felt that he was turning old and his mind could no longer keep up with the younger generation.
Of course, he was not alone. When the head of Second Elder of the Black Moon Island landed on the ground, the mouths of everyone and the Heavenly Oasis Saint fell open in shock.
However, they could not say anything. They felt as if something was stuck in their throat and that they were fighting to keep it down. It was so tedious that their faces turned slightly red.
Too fast!
This battle ended too quickly!
Even though Yuan Rong was hurt earlier, this was still a two-on-one battle. Furthermore, two Sages were fighting against someone in his Rebirth State.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be two Sages killing a Rebirth State cultivator?
Even if the situation was exceptional, it should be a stalemate at most? Right now, however, the battle ended in less than half a joss stick's worth of time. What did this mean?
No one understood but this was the reality.
Four!
In one day, four Sages perished. Furthermore, they all died at the hands of the same person and they did not even put up much of a fight.
Was he that strong?
How strong could he really be?
”Rebirth Plate? Is this the Rebirth Plate?” Second Elder gripped the sword in his hand tightly. For once, he felt the true terror of these four words.
Furthermore, more importantly, Fang Zhengzhi only activated three types of the Six Rebirth Daos. What would happen once he activated all six of them?
Second Elder did not think about that. He did not dare to.
This was because he knew that once that happened, the situation in the entire Holy Region would change.
No!
Such a thing must not happen!
Before the Shadow Sect revealed its strength, Second Elder's main thought in his mind was the elimination of this threat to his future development. Right now, however, he worried more for the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
If Fang Zhengzhi could become a Sage in three months and take care of his lifespan problem, it was the equivalent of a new power rising in the Holy Region.
Furthermore, this new power could potentially unify the Holy Region.
At that time, all of the wrongs they inflicted on Fang Zhengzhi would be returned back to them ten times, or even a hundred times, more.
”No! I won't permit it!” Second Elder bellowed in rage. Then, his entire body turned into a shadow as he charged toward Fang Zhengzhi.
”Trying to kill Fang Zhengzhi? You have to get past me first!” Yan Qianli naturally noticed Second Elder's actions. Hence, he rushed forward as he tried to block Second Elder from reaching Fang Zhengzhi.
However, the moment he tried to block the shadow, he suddenly felt that something was amiss. This was because the shadow disappeared almost instantly.
It seemed to have disappeared into space.
”Oh no, it's an illusion!” Yan Qianli reacted quickly to it. However, it was too late for him to dodge. This was because a sharp force was already behind him.
At the final moment, Yan Qianli gritted his teeth and behind him, a blood-red barrier of light appeared. However, that force was far too strong.
In other words, it was a sword!
”Boom!” A huge explosion rang out and Yan Qianli instantly felt the light screen behind his back being torn apart. Then, a huge force landed on his back, pushing his body forward. At the same time, his face paled and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
”Bleurgh!” Blood flew everywhere.
”Grandpa!” Yan Xiu's voice rang out at this moment. Then, he lunged without a second thought toward Yan Qianli.
Quickly, however, a huge hand pulled him back. It was Yan Qing, who stood in front of Yan Xiu.
”Yan Xiu, don't go!” Yan Qing did not understand this sentiment well. However, he could sense that Yan Xiu felt very strongly about Yan Qianli.
Was this familial love?
Yan Qing's brain was momentarily stunned because ever since he was borne, he had never felt the emotions which were common for most people.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed past his eyes. This shadow was extremely fast, which made everyone's heart shiver.
”Eh?!” Yan Qing's heart missed a beat. He subconsciously punched out at the black shadow. However, the moment his punch flew forward, he felt a huge force coming from the arm with which he had grabbed Yan Xiu.
Then, that arm blazed with a ball of black fire. At the same time, he felt a huge force on his chest.
”Thud!” A dull sound rang out.
Yan Qing's eyes turned round. At this moment, he clearly saw the shadow which was rushing toward him. It was Shi Fan, who had been lying on the ground.
Right now, Shi Fan appeared to have recovered from his wounds. His leg, which had previously been cut off, was now covered with black flames.
”Scram!” Shi Fan had no intention of fighting Yan Qing. His target was Yan Xiu as he reached out to grab his shoulder.
”Ah!” Yan Xiu screamed in agony. His pale-white face turned greenish-purple and an intense pain made his very body tremble violently.
It was not because Shi Fan had touched his wounds. In fact, Shi Fan had not even grabbed him.
Instead, it was because Yan Xiu finally felt how utterly useless he was.
Not only could he not help Fang Zhengzhi or his grandpa, but he also made them take risks time and again for him. Right now, as Shi Fan's hands came toward him, he realized that it was almost impossible to dodge.
Closer and closer!
As he watched Yan Xiu drawing closer to him, Shi Fan's mouth curled into a cold smile because he knew that the moment he grabbed Yan Xiu, the fate of the entire battle would be in his hands.
”Fang Zhengzhi, what can you do after Yan Xiu falls into my hands?” Shi Fan laughed. He wanted to seize control of the battle once again by using Yan Xiu.
However, at this moment, a shadow appeared like a specter in front of Shi Fan. It was clad entirely in black armor, which also blazed with black flames.
It was Fang Zhengzhi.
In fact, the moment Shi Fan moved toward Yan Xiu, Fang Zhengzhi acted too. After he had killed Second Elder of the Black Moon Island, he turned his attention toward Shi Fan.
However, as Shi Fan was closer to Yan Xiu, this made him appear slightly slower. In fact, he was only slower by a single step.
He thrust with his sword.
His Traceless Sword glowed with purple light as he aimed it straight for Shi Fan's throat.
This was an extremely crucial moment but Fang Zhengzhi was absolutely confident that as long as Shi Fan continued reaching forward with his hand, there was no way he could dodge his attack.
”How can he be so fast?” Shi Fan naturally saw this sword. This made his originally cold smile freeze. He never expected Fang Zhengzhi to come so quickly.
