A light breeze blew past and the sun shone brightly.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Sima Feng who was twenty steps away from him and smiled. He admired Sima Feng's bold guess and meticulous thinking.
However, Sima Feng had obviously missed out on one thing.
That was …
It had been two months since the battle in the Flame Capital City.
Many things could happen in two months. For example, advancing from the Supernatural State to the Rebirth State, or casually opening the Rebirth Plate.
"Rebirth State in the Middle Stage?" Fang Zhengzhi twitched his mouth and did not care about the position of the three disciples behind him. After all, he had never seen them as a threat.
"Fang Zhengzhi, show me what you've got!" Sima Feng looked at Fang Zhengzhi who was standing at the same spot and clenched the dagger in his hand tightly.
"Are you ready?" Fang Zhengzhi smiled.
"Of course!" Sima Feng said confidently.
"Alright, then I'm going up." Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head and placed his hands behind his back and walked towards Sima Feng slowly.
There was no dazzling light and no earth-shattering movement. It was just like taking a stroll. Fang Zhengzhi walked very slowly and did not seem to be very stable. He swayed with every step he took.
"Eh?"
"What's going on?"
"Are we not going to fight?"
The contestants who were anticipating the start of the battle were obviously not used to such a scene. After all, Fang Zhengzhi did not look like he was going to face a formidable enemy.
Instead, he looked like …
He was enjoying the scenery.
That's right, he was enjoying the scenery. And he looked very relaxed.
Sima Feng clenched his fists tightly. It was obvious that he was being looked down upon. Furthermore, he was being looked down upon even when he was giving it his all.
This caused him to be shocked and naturally, he could not help but feel a tinge of anger.
How dare he ignore an assassin?
This was undoubtedly a suicidal act.
Because an assassin's forte was instantaneous explosive power. On this point, Sima Feng was extremely confident in himself.
An urge to attack was ignited in his heart.
Should he place his hands behind his back?
If he was within ten steps, would he be able to kill him in one blow?!
Five steps!
Five steps would definitely do it!
Sima Feng's mind was filled with strong impulses, causing his hand that was holding onto the dagger to turn pale.
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not seem to have noticed this. He continued to get closer to Sima Feng and kept his hands behind his back.
Fifteen steps, ten steps …
Fang Zhengzhi walked slowly and got closer to Sima Feng.
A cold light flashed in Sima Feng's eyes.
A dense greyish-black light filled the air, covering a distance of five steps around him. Within the area covered by the greyish-black light, he could keenly sense any changes, such as heartbeat, killing intent …
This was the way of the hunt!
"Sima Feng!" A voice was heard at this moment. It was not loud but it struck Sima Feng's heart as if it was right beside his ears.
This caused Sima Feng's heart to tremble slightly, and his original impulsive thoughts immediately stopped.
This was because he knew that the voice belonged to Qian Wu, and its purpose was naturally to remind him not to be rash. A drop of sweat trickled down his forehead.
"Did he purposely reveal a flaw?" Sima Feng looked at Fang Zhengzhi who was still getting closer to him, and a slight chill rose from the bottom of his feet.
He quickly adjusted himself.
He suppressed the impulsive thoughts in his heart and stared at Fang Zhengzhi who was getting closer and closer.
Eight steps, seven steps … six steps …
Was he still walking?!
Five steps!
Finally, Fang Zhengzhi stopped at a distance of five steps in front of Sima Feng. He placed his hands behind his back and looked at the greyish-black light surrounding him.
Silence, incomparable silence.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Fang Zhengzhi and Sima Feng. No one spoke, and they did not even dare to breathe too loudly.
"If I did not guess wrongly, a distance of five steps should be your best position to attack right?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Sima Feng in front of him with a provocative smile.
Sima Feng did not speak. He only held the dagger in his hand tightly, and a cracking sound could be heard from his palm. His expression was so focused that it was scary.
"Seems like you are really prepared to defend till the end?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Sima Feng, and the smile on his face became wider and wider.
"Don't waste …" Sima Feng did not manage to finish his sentence, and his eyes widened. Because, Fang Zhengzhi had already moved.
So fast!
At this moment, Sima Feng felt that he could not even see Fang Zhengzhi's shadow, even though he was already 120% focused.
How could he be so fast?
How could he be so fast!
Wasn't he in the Supernatural State?!
Sima Feng wanted to ask why, but it was too late. Because, Fang Zhengzhi was already in front of him. That feeling was as if he had teleported from a distance of five steps to his front.
Subconsciously, Sima Feng made his move. He held the dagger in his hand and used it to protect his chest.
At the same time, the greyish-black light instantly formed a layer of light screen, protecting his entire body.
Under the situation where he could not see Fang Zhengzhi's movements, his only choice was to protect his heart, which was a vital point.
But …
It was still too late.
That was because Fang Zhengzhi's fist had reached his chest before his hand.
"Kacha!"
The first sound that could be heard was the sound of the light screen breaking. Then, Sima Feng felt a surge of power rushing to the front of his chest.
"Boom!" A dull sound rang in his ears.
Sima Feng's eyes widened as he stared at the fist that landed on his heart. He could not believe it, or rather, he did not want to believe it.
But, the terrifying power that came from the fist forced him to believe it.
In his heart, it was as if something was breaking.
All the energy in his body was being drained rapidly. This draining was a permanent draining, just like a broken dam, there was no way to stop it.
Why was it like this?
How could he be so fast?!
Until this moment, Sima Feng still could not understand the logic behind it.
Not only was it fast, it was also heavy!
If the "Kong Qing" or "Fang Zhengzhi" in front of him really used some special techniques, for example, to imprison him, or to suddenly go behind him.
He could accept such a failure.
But in front of him …
There was no technique at all, it was just speed and weight. It was a speed and weight that far exceeded his own. At a distance of five steps, it was a direct punch.
This was a form of suppression!
It was a complete suppression in terms of strength!
Lost …
He could not even block a single move.
Was he really Fang Zhengzhi? Or was he wrong from the beginning? There was no such thing as Fang Zhengzhi. It had always been Kong Qing, the Kong Qing of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
"Plop!" Sima Feng's legs turned to jelly as he knelt on the ground. His eyes were filled with unwillingness, he felt that his guess was right.
But, why was the ending like this?
"I'm sorry, I used too much force. I really did not expect you to be so weak …" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Sima Feng who was kneeling in front of him and retracted his fist apologetically.
Silence, incomparable silence.
All the contestants, including Yan Xiu, Nangong Mu, Qian Wu and the young man who had been staring at Yan Xiu, all focused their attention on Fang Zhengzhi.
It was too fast!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
In their impression, the battle between the Rebirth State would always have some commotion. But, the battle in front of them was too "calm".
It was so calm that there were no signs of a battle.
It was a complete suppression!
It was a true suppression!
This was a battle that relied purely on speed and power. In the entire process, Sima Feng could not even defend himself, let alone attack.
"So powerful!"
"Is this the power of a Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple?"
"They are both in the Rebirth State. Even though one is at the peak of the Rebirth State and the other is in the Middle State, isn't the difference a little too big?"
All the contestants looked at each other. They could not react to the situation, or rather, they could not accept the difference in power.
Just one move?!
One move!
If the "state" that "Kong Qing" displayed previously was enough to make them admire him, then the power that "Kong Qing" displayed now was enough to make them have no more doubts.
Fang Zhengzhi?
How could such a powerful person in front of them be Fang Zhengzhi!
How could a person in the Supernatural State defeat a person in the Middle State of Rebirth State in one move? Furthermore, it was in such a dominating manner.
No one doubted the identity of "Kong Qing" anymore.
Even Qian Wu's eyes were wide open. He looked at Sima Feng who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at "Kong Qing" who was standing in front of Sima Feng. His face was extremely gloomy.
"This Sima Feng, what is he doing? Didn't he say that he had a 90% chance of winning? " Qian Wu's face did not look good. Because, if not for Sima Feng, he would have chosen a better way to solve the problem of being eliminated.
However, Sima Feng's "guess" had caused him to be in a dilemma.
Furthermore, he might even create an "enemy" in the Heaven Dao Pavilion in the future. This was something that he definitely did not want to see.
"Senior Kong Qing!" At this moment, the three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples rushed to Fang Zhengzhi's back and greeted him respectfully.
"Hmm." Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head and looked at Sima Feng again. "I made a mistake and crippled you. You won't blame me right?"
"You …. Wah!" Sima Feng's pale face changed again. His body trembled violently and a mouthful of blood gushed out from his mouth.
"Dong!"
Sima Feng blacked out and fell to the ground.
"You deserve it!"
"Senior Kong Qing, please don't mind him. We all saw it clearly. Senior Kong Qing did not bully the weak. It's just that this Sima Feng is too weak!"
"Yes, we can all testify for Senior Kong Qing!"
When a few of the contestants saw this, they quickly stood up from the crowd and stood up to testify for Fang Zhengzhi. At the same time, they spat at Sima Feng who had fainted.
"Is that so …. Actually, I still feel a little guilty. After all, a Rebirth State Intermediate State cultivator became a cripple just like that. Sigh …." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head apologetically.
"Senior Kong Qing, please don't say that. In a battle between the strong, we all have to give it our all. There's no such thing as being unscathed. Furthermore, this Sima Feng overestimated himself and took the initiative to challenge Senior Kong Qing!"
"That's right. Furthermore, he even dared to tarnish Senior Kong Qing's' innocence '. How despicable!"
"Such a scum, Senior Kong Qing doesn't need to feel guilty. If it was us, he would have lost his life long ago!"
"Senior Kong Qing spared his life. His kindness is really a role model for us to learn from!"
A few of the contestants looked at Fang Zhengzhi's guilty expression and were impressed by Fang Zhengzhi's cultivation state.
At this moment, two loud beastly roars could be heard from the sky.
Following that, two tiny black dots appeared in the sky.
Slowly, the black dots became bigger.
They were two gigantic beasts. They swooped down from the sky. Two pairs of gigantic wings blocked the blinding sunlight above their heads.
Such a commotion caused the contestants to subconsciously raise their heads.
The three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples also looked at the two beasts, as well as the two figures in white robes standing on top of the beasts.
"Third Elder and Fifth Elder are here!"
"Could it be that the first round took too long?"
"This …"
When the three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw the two figures standing on top of the beasts, their faces were filled with worry and fear.
Fang Zhengzhi also raised his head at this moment and looked at the two old men on the back of the beast. They were of extremely different ages and were dressed almost exactly the same.
Alright …
It seemed like some big shots had arrived.
It seemed like his authority as a Senior was at stake.
Third Elder, Fifth Elder?
Then, these two people …
Which one was Third Elder, and which one was Fifth Elder?
Just as Fang Zhengzhi was thinking, the two figures jumped down from the back of the beasts. Their white robes fluttered in the wind as they landed on the ground like two balls of cotton.
Sage State!
Fang Zhengzhi could almost determine the strength of these two old men in one look. Because, when these two old men landed, there were no ripples in the surrounding space.
Although, the speed at which they landed was very slow.
But, it gave off a feeling of being one with the surroundings.
"Disciple greets Third Elder, Fifth Elder!" When the three Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw Third Elder and Fifth Elder land, they immediately walked over to them, their expressions incomparably respectful.
