Fang Zhengzhi had seen Yan Xiu use the Dao of Asura before. The faint red and the lethal power of the Dao of Asura had left a deep impression on him.
However, that red was clearly different from the red he was seeing now.
Nangong Hao had seen Yan Xiu's Dao of Asura before. That was during the announcement of the results in the Imperial Decree Hall. Wu Feng, Chen Feiyu, and the other candidates had seen Yan Xiu's Dao of Asura.
That time, Yan Xiu's sudden outburst caused all the officials to pale in fright.
However...
In the end, he was suppressed by a single sentence from the Emperor. However, today, Yan Xiu had once again exploded with power. Who would be able to suppress him?
All of the candidates wanted to stop him, but Yan Xiu was too fast. Most importantly, Yan Xiu's aura made even them feel fear.
Of course...
Bai Xing could not possibly feel fear.
However, it was impossible for Bai Xing not to be surprised when he saw the red glow on Yan Xiu's body.
Ever since the battle at Cang Ling Mountain, he had been in the Southern Region. He had been busy taking care of the affairs of the Southern Region. As such, he did not pay attention to the Great Xia Dynasty.
Yan Xiu's breakthrough to the Dao of Asura was revealed during the court examinations.
As such, Bai Xing did not know about it.
"It's... the Dao of Asura?!" As a Rebirth State cultivator, Bai Xing knew what the Dao of Asura meant.
Bai Xing was not afraid of the Dao of Asura.
However, what if he added the words 16 years old to the Dao of Asura? A 16-year-old Dao of Asura! That was equivalent to having one foot in the Rebirth State at the age of 16. Such talent was rare even in a hundred years.
"However, it seems a little unstable!" Bai Xing looked at the red glow on Yan Xiu's body and his bloodshot eyes. His lips curled into a cold smile.
The Dao of Asura was a benevolent one.
However, it was special because the source of the Dao of Asura was anger. Bai Xing did not know how long Yan Xiu had been in the Dao of Asura.
However, he knew that Yan Xiu's anger came from...
Fang Zhengzhi!
As the ruler of one of the 10 Demon Domains, it was not difficult for Bai Xing to guess this. He could guess it just from his expression.
As such, he did not mind making Yan Xiu even angrier.
It was not difficult for Bai Xing to achieve this. There was a huge difference between having one foot in the rebirth cycle and having cultivated in it for more than 10 years.
A silver light flashed and Bai Xing disappeared from where he was. His body seemed to have fused with the silver light.
Fang Zhengzhi had once witnessed the battle between Bai Xing and Xing Yuanguo.
At that time, the purple light and the silver light crisscrossed, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a human or a light shadow. All that could be seen was that the silver light was being suppressed by the purple light.
In terms of memory, it was still very deep. However, in terms of experience, it could only be said to be average.
However, when Bai Xing's body disappeared, Fang Zhengzhi felt it deeply...
Was there anything that could make one feel more uneasy and at a loss of what to do than the opponent suddenly turning into an unpredictable ray of light?
"Watch out!" A voice rang out beside him.
Fang Zhengzhi knew that this voice came from Nangong Hao. However, he did not know if Nangong Hao was talking to him or Yan Xiu.
Of course...
He understood very quickly.
Because, Yan Xiu's Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan was already in front of him, that crystal-like red light was showing its ferocious side.
The stench of blood wafted towards him.
Fang Zhengzhi did not know why Yan Xiu's Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan was coming for him. However, he knew that he could not dodge it.
After all, he had always been wary of Bai Xing. Towards Yan Xiu, he could not be wary at all.
"Boom!"
A heart-wrenching pain shot through Fang Zhengzhi's brain. It was a chilling pleasure, as though he had fallen into hell.
Fang Zhengzhi had already been severely injured by Bai Xing's attack. However, he had not collapsed immediately. Now, he was struck by such a heavy blow.
His vision turned black.
He spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, his legs gave way and he fell to the ground.
Bright red blood danced in the air and landed on the blade of the Traceless Sword. A demonic purple color began to spread across the Traceless Sword, from the tip of the sword to the blade. The purple light grew brighter and brighter …
...
Silence. Complete silence.
All of the soldiers stared blankly at the blood in the air and Fang Zhengzhi on the ground.
From Bai Xing's appearance, to Yan Xiu's attack, to Fang Zhengzhi being slapped to the ground by Yan Xiu's fan, the entire process had happened too quickly for them to react.
Bai Xing's power and status did not need to be described in detail.
Because, the red demonic eye on Bai Xing's forehead was enough to prove everything.
Bai Xing's appearance shocked the tens of thousands of soldiers. The fact that Fang Zhengzhi had blocked Bai Xing's attack was even more shocking. After all, that was a Rebirth State attack.
However, after feeling shocked, the tens of thousands of soldiers began to rejoice.
Regardless, Fang Zhengzhi was still alive. That was a blessing in disguise. However, who would have thought that tragedy would strike just as they were rejoicing?
Furthermore...
It had happened so suddenly and unimaginably. Out of all of the soldiers, who would have thought that Fang Zhengzhi would fall to Yan Xiu's Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan?
They were not the only ones. All of the candidates, including Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu, did not expect this either.
Even Nangong Hao, who was standing next to Yan Xiu and Fang Zhengzhi, could not react in time. Nangong Hao saw Bai Xing's attack, but he had no way of stopping it.
The logic was simple.
There were three people standing in front of Bai Xing. He, the injured Fang Zhengzhi, and Yan Xiu, who had one foot in the Asura Rebirth Cycle.
Then, the choice was too simple.
He had to prevent Bai Xing from stabbing Fang Zhengzhi again. However, he did not expect that Bai Xing would use Yan Xiu to do this...
As such, when Yan Xiu's Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan neared Fang Zhengzhi, he was unable to block it in time.
"Fang Zhengzhi!" Nangong Hao's expression changed. He moved his body and a faint golden light screen enveloped him and Fang Zhengzhi instantly.
Compared to Nangong Hao's expression, Yan Xiu's was obviously in pain. It was an extremely hideous pain and beads of sweat covered his face.
"I... I killed Fang Zhengzhi?!" Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was lying on the ground with his eyes shut. He knew how powerful his attack was.
If it was a direct hit...
Even if it was him, his internal organs would definitely be damaged and he would need at least a year to recover. Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi was already severely injured.
Pain and anger filled his heart in an instant.
In fact, when he saw Fang Zhengzhi being stabbed by Bai Xing, he was already infuriated.
He was not angry because of Bai Xing.
He was angry at himself.
He was angry at himself for not holding on for a while longer. He was angry at himself for not fighting alongside Fang Zhengzhi. He was angry at himself for not expecting a sneak attack.
Where was this?!
The Southern Mountain Range!
The dangerous Southern Mountain Range.
However, under such circumstances, all he could do was focus on Fang Zhengzhi and Nangong Hao. He did not know that someone was going to attack him.
He had learned his lesson!
The Demon Race was hidden amongst the candidates, but why did he still overlook it? How could such a person not deserve to be angry?
But now?
When he attacked out of anger, his attack landed on Fang Zhengzhi, who was already heavily injured.
Blood...
Bright red blood stained the ground and Yan Xiu's eyes. At this moment, his eyes were as red as fresh blood. Other than red, there was nothing else in his eyes.
At this moment, Bai Xing's figure appeared not too far away. His starry eyes stared silently at Yan Xiu, whose eyes were completely bloodshot.
"Not bad, that was a perfect attack!" Bai Xing pointed at Fang Zhengzhi and smirked at Yan Xiu.
...
"It's a demon, a demon in the Rebirth State. Attack together, don't let him escape!"
"Kill!"
"Pass on the order, surround him from both sides!"
The commanders finally reacted at this moment. They only had one thought when it came to the Devil Race, and that was to kill every single one that appeared.
As for who was going to kill them?
That was not something they could decide. However, there was one thing they could decide. They had to surround the demon first.
Xing Qingsui turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi, then at Bai Xing, who was smirking coldly.
"It's the Demon Star Domain Chief, Bai Xing!" Xing Qingsui's thoughts were different from those of the other commanders. He was well aware of the Southern Mountain Range's plans.
He also knew that since Bai Xing had appeared here...
Then it was not a coincidence!
Could it be that there was an ambush in the Icy Monkey Settlement?
Xing Qingsui instinctively looked towards the Icy Monkey Settlement. Then, his gaze froze. He saw a group of soldiers dressed in rattan armor standing on the walls of the Icy Monkey Settlement.
Furthermore, not only were there tens of thousands of soldiers standing on the walls of the Icy Monkey Settlement, there were also rows of soldiers walking out from the entrance of the settlement.
"Southern Mountain Range... what a Southern Mountain Range! Did they ambush so many soldiers in the Icy Monkey Settlement? "Xing Qingsui clenched his fists.
He could tell that these were Southern Mountain Range soldiers. As such, he could guess what it meant for them to appear in the Icy Monkey Settlement.
Just at this moment, a rumbling sound came from behind him.
"Oh no, there are Southern Mountain Range soldiers in the wind valley. They are surrounding us!"
"There are Southern Mountain Range soldiers in front and behind us. We are surrounded!"
"Silence!"
The voices of the commanders rang out. At the same time, all of the commanders turned to look at Xing Qingsui.
Xing Qingsui was the heir to the Stabilisation Constabulary. Furthermore, he had the order of the Emperor. As such, they had to follow his orders unconditionally.
"Get into formation!" Xing Qingsui did not hesitate as he gave the order. He knew that if he hesitated for even a second, he could lose a few hundred or even a few thousand lives.
"Yes!" An orderly and solemn voice sounded at this moment.
...
On the cliff of the Wind Valley, Yun Qingwu, who was dressed in a plain white dress, watched all of this silently. However, her gaze had never left Fang Zhengzhi.
Her lips opened and closed slightly, but no sound came out. After watching quietly for a moment, her fingers subconsciously touched the veil covering her face. There was an incomparably complicated emotion in her eyes.
It was hard to tell if she was sad or happy. She seemed to be reminiscing about something, or thinking about something.
Then, with a flip of her hand, a dark green zither appeared.
The men in black behind her were stunned when they saw the guqin in Yun Qingwu's hand. However, they quickly regained their senses.
One of the men in black moved his fingers and the rocks on the cliff began to gather. In an instant, they formed a stone bench and a guqin table.
Yun Qingwu did not speak. She sat down slowly and placed the Guqin on the table in front of her. Then, she raised her head slightly and looked at the blue sky.
No one knew what Yun Qingwu was thinking.
However, the voice from Yun Qingwu's mouth became clearer. It seemed to be a conversation, a conversation that only Yun Qingwu was having.
"What do you want to hear?"
"Haha..."
"Looks like Young Master Fang is someone who cares about the world. However, this" Guangling San "is divided into Well, Quitting Han, Dead Body, Hanzhi, Martyr, Chen Ming, Throwing Sword, Jun Ji and Wei Xing. Which one would you like to hear first?"
Then, Yun Qingwu closed her mouth.
The melodious sound of the zither slowly rang out, resounding from the cliffs of Wind Valley. It floated in the air, as if narrating a memory that existed for some unknown reason.
...
"Why is there music coming from the guqin?!"
"She is playing the" Guangling San "? What a beautiful sound, who is playing it? "
"Look, there are people on the cliffs of Wind Valley. My … My God, am I seeing things? Isn't... isn't that Yun Qingwu?! "
As the music began to play, all of the candidates turned to look at the figure in the white dress. However, they did not understand.
