997 The Blossoms Blooming Wildly on the Mountain Top! (1/2)
”So this is the Ghost Dao of the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques?” Nangong Mu looked at Mu Xing who was in agony and tightened his fist but eventually kept quiet.
”Mu Xing, are you alright?” The other two Godly State experts asked.
”I'm fine.” Mu Xing nodded and gave an extremely chilling look. However, he felt astonished and fear overwhelmed him.
Too powerful!
Fang Zhengzhi managed to hurt him with a strike of his sword!
If he had not experienced this personally, he would not have imagined how powerful Fang Zhengzhi had become.
”Shameless brat, let's kill him now!”
”No, wait for the end of the competition!”
”Hmm… fine!”
Mu Xing and the other two Godly State experts gritted their teeth and retreated quickly.
The first round of competition ended like that.
Even though Fang Zhengzhi injured Mu Xing while Mu Xing attacked the four disciples of the Human Alliance, he still lost this round.
The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race won the first round.
They had to proceed onto the second round of the competition.
”Fang Zhengzhi, according to the rules, since we sent out our representatives first in the first round, shouldn't you send your representatives first in the second round?” said Nangong Mu.
”There's such a rule?” Fang Zhengzhi was surprised.
”Of course.” Nangong Mu nodded.
”But you did not seem to follow the rules earlier on?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Mu Xing who had an ugly expression and said.
”But you attacked too.” Nangong Mu was not surprised by Fang Zhengzhi's shamelessness.
”Hmm, you are right, do you mean that you gave me permission to attack Mu Xing?” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
”Haha…” Hearing this, Nangong Mu was taken aback slightly but started to laugh again as he had already understood what Fang Zhengzhi implied.
He was trying to sow dissent.
That was exactly like Fang Zhengzhi's character.
However, Nangong Mu definitely would not give Fang Zhengzhi the chance to do that. He laughed coldly and did not reply, agree nor deny.
”Alright, since you have no objection to me punishing Mu Xing, then we shall do things according to the rules. For the second round… we will send out our representatives first!” Fang Zhengzhi said again.
”Please go ahead.” Nangong Mu nodded.
Without saying much, Fang Zhengzhi turned around and went beside Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi and greeted them.
His actions surprised them.
They looked at each other and did not understand what Fang Zhengzhi meant. Why did he suddenly become respectful to them?
However, they quickly figured it out.
”For this round, may I please ask for the both of you to choose the most powerful individuals from the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Fu Xi Valley respectively and head to the battlefield together?” Fang Zhengzhi waited for Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi's reply after he finished his sentence.
Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi frowned.
They had no problems with one round of the competition. However, the Human Alliance had already forfeited the first round of competition, how could they afford to lose again for the second round?
”Fang Zhengzhi, are you sure you are sending me and Old Man Mo for the second round?” Mu Qingfeng asked after a moment of silence.
”Yes, I am.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
”But what if they…” Mu Qingfeng still had something to say.
”There is no 'what if's.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head and disrupted Mu Qingfeng's sentence.
”Alright.” Without saying anything else, Mu Qingfeng turned and looked at two elders of the Heaven Dao Pavilion who had cold appearances.
Fang Zhengzhi recognized both of them.
One of them was the second elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion who once chased after him under the foot of the cliff of the Sword Peak, and the other was an old stranger.
”Sect Leader Fang, long time no see, regarding the incident that took place in the Heaven Dao Pavilion…” The second elder's lips trembled as he walked out from the crowd.
”The incident that took place at the foot of the sword peak has got nothing to do with the second elder.” Fang Zhengzhi waved his hand.
”Thank you, Sect Leader Fang! If Sect Leader Fang trusts us, we will take on the second round of the competition!” The second elder was stunned when he heard what Fang Zhengzhi said.
From his understanding of Fang Zhengzhi, he was not a person who was ”happy and forgiving”.
In fact, he was exactly the opposite of that!
Fang Zhengzhi would definitely take revenge and would not show mercy.
That was why the Second Elder had decided to hide amongst the crowd after Fang Zhengzhi revealed himself.
However, Fang Zhengzhi's words made the second elder slightly surprised as Fang Zhengzhi did not show any intention to take revenge.
”Don't need to thank me yet, after this battle, I will settle the bills with you.” Fang Zhengzhi held up his hand and replied.
”…” The Second Elder was stunned again.
The other elders looked at each other with bitter smiles.
Didn't Fang Zhengzhi say it had got nothing to do with the Second Elder?
So why did he say he would settle the bills with the Second Elder?
Indeed, Fang Zhengzhi was an unreliable person, nobody would believe him when he said he would not take revenge.
Mu Qingfeng also felt troubled.
The incident that involved Fang Zhengzhi and the Heaven Dao Pavilion ought to be something that had nothing to do with whether it was right or wrong. However, the world was as such.
One had the rule if one had a stronger fist.
In the last, Heaven Dao Pavilion has a stronger fist and therefore Fang Zhengzhi would not have headed to the Heaven Dao Pavilion to settle the old bill.
However, times had changed.
Fang Zhengzhi's fist became strong now.
With this change, the Heaven Dao Pavilion could not do anything when Fang Zhengzhi came to settle the old bills. They could only smile and try to deal with it.
However, Mu Qingfeng was rather heartened by something.
At least, he did not see an obvious killing intent in Fang Zhengzhi's eyes when he looked at the second elder. This meant that this issue could be discussed.
If it could be discussed, it could be resolved.
”Cough cough… Thank you, Second Elder!” Mu Qingfeng did not dwell over this issue and decided to end it quickly.
”For the future of humankind, I will fight till my death!” The Second Elder was determined.
”Alright, we are done with our selection too!” At this moment, Mo Shanshi came forward with an elder from the Fu Xi Valley.
”Old man Mo, can you do it? If not, we can look for someone else.”
”I can't?! Why can't I? If an emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, of course, I, Mo Shanshi can do it! Even if I was about to die, do you dare to say that you are more powerful than me?” Mo Shanshi was indignant.
”Alright alright, you can!” Mu Qingfeng was speechless but still asked for Fang Zhengzhi's opinion, ”Fang Zhengzhi, you really think that the four of us can do this?”
”Yes.” Fang Zhengzhi did not say anything else.
However, the surrounding disciples of the Human Alliance were all extremely worried as they thought that Fang Zhengzhi would go in the second round.
However, Fang Zhengzhi sent Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi instead.
