Fang Zhengzhi looked at the Heaven Dao disciple in front of him, and his lips curled into a smile.
Indeed, in the books in his previous life, those who used their mouths to confuse the strong were all lies. When faced with a strong opponent, they would not give you any chance to talk back.
Even in a place like the Heaven Dao Pavilion, which was considered to be a cultured place.
However, the question of who was the strong one had to be confirmed first.
"Kneel?" Fang Zhengzhi acted decisively the moment the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple kicked out.
If the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple's speed was fast, then Fang Zhengzhi's was even faster. He was so fast that he left a trail of afterimages in his wake. He circled behind the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple.
"Crack!" A crisp sound rang out.
The Heaven Dao disciple's body froze.
This was because a palm had already grabbed his neck, and the force from it forced him to stop moving. It was hard for him to breathe, and he could not even straighten his neck. He could only tilt his head to one side.
This caused his eyes to be filled with disbelief.
Indeed, his heart was his fatal weakness. However, if his neck was completely broken, or if his head was twisted off, no one would want that to happen.
"So fast!"
"So ruthless!"
One by one, the Heaven Dao disciples looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who seemed to have teleported behind the Heaven Dao disciple. They could not help but sigh at Fang Zhengzhi's display of strength.
After all, even in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, where there were many geniuses, very few could be so fast.
However, such a sigh wouldn't make them hesitate.
"Clang!"
"Clang clang clang!"
"….."
Countless swords were unsheathed. Almost in an instant, all the Heaven Dao disciples drew their swords, and pointed them at Fang Zhengzhi.
"Let go of my junior brother!"
"If you dare to harm my junior brother's life, I will not forgive you!"
The disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion roared fiercely.
Third Elder waved his hand and stopped the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples from continuing their conversation.
"Do you think that we can't do anything to you if you have a hostage?" Third Elder looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was restraining the Heaven Dao disciple, with a cold gaze.
"I don't want a hostage." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
"No hostages?" Third Elder was slightly taken aback. In fact, the moment he saw the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple attack, he had a bad feeling in his heart. However, it was too late.
However, he did not believe Fang Zhengzhi when he said that he did not want a hostage. After all, Fang Zhengzhi had a hostage in his hands.
"Yes, I don't want it." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
Then, he kicked the back of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple's knee.
"Thump!" The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple fell to his knees.
This made the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple extremely embarrassed. He never thought that he would be subdued so easily. It was too fast. His opponent didn't even use the Dao of All Creation, and only relied on his speed to subdue him.
How could he believe it?
But this was the truth.
What was even more shocking was that the moment he knelt down, his head felt like it was hit by something. The heavy force made his vision go black.
Then, he lost consciousness.
"Thump!" The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple fell to the ground.
Fang Zhengzhi smiled as he kept the black metal rod in his hand. Then, he kicked the unconscious Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple away.
The surrounding Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples obviously did not believe that Fang Zhengzhi would kick the hostage away. However, they quickly caught the unconscious Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple.
Third Elder and Fifth Elder looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with doubt. After all, Fang Zhengzhi's actions were not very wise.
"Are you trying to use his life to exchange for yours?" Fifth Elder looked at the unconscious Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple, then looked at Fang Zhengzhi and asked.
"No." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
"Then what do you mean?"
"Nothing much. I just want to say, if the Heaven Dao Pavilion really wants to kill me, shouldn't you send someone more capable?" Fang Zhengzhi's lips curled into a smile.
"Wow!"
Almost all the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples were taken aback. Then, they exploded into a frenzy.
"Let me teach this brat a lesson!"
"How dare he challenge the Heaven Dao Pavilion? Does he really think that there's no one in the Heaven Dao Pavilion? "
"Excuse me, let me see what this brat is capable of!"
In an instant, seven to eight Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples stood up. Their faces were filled with rage, and their auras were not weak at all.
"Taking turns? Or attacking together? The Heaven Dao Pavilion can only bully you with numbers, right? " Fang Zhengzhi twitched his mouth and hooked his finger at the seven to eight Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples. He did not seem to care at all.
"He's too arrogant!"
"Does this brat really think that he can do whatever he wants in the Heaven Dao Pavilion?"
"Who is this brat?"
The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples looked at the fearless Fang Zhengzhi in shock. After all, no one had ever dared to be so arrogant in the history of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
However, the seven to eight Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples stopped in their tracks.
This was because they were disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion. Furthermore, they were once super geniuses. Taking turns and ganging up on Fang Zhengzhi was an insult that they could not bring themselves to do.
"Not fighting anymore? Alright, then let's continue talking about etiquette. "Fang Zhengzhi looked at the seven to eight Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and said with disdain.
Numbers? Does having more people make you stronger?
Against these disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, words were useless. However, morals, righteousness, propriety, and honor were very useful.
Taking turns to take turns? Ganging up on them?
Fang Zhengzhi was not stupid. He would not give them such a chance.
Third Elder and Fifth Elder could naturally tell what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking. His calmness in the face of danger made them look at him in a different light.
On the surface …
Fang Zhengzhi's performance just now was extremely arrogant. He had even incited public anger. This was a very unwise move. However, in reality, he had taken a step back.
Most importantly, he did not lose in terms of aura. Instead, he had suppressed the entire crowd.
Of course, this success was also attributed to Fang Zhengzhi's decision to give up on the hostages. If Fang Zhengzhi refused to let go of the hostages, the conflict would have escalated. Then, the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples would naturally resort to any means necessary.
However, Fang Zhengzhi chose to let go of the hostages …
From the start, it seemed very foolish. However, in the end, it was the wisest move. It was equivalent to putting himself on the side of morality and righteousness.
This way, the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples could no longer rely on their numbers to attack Fang Zhengzhi.
"This kid is really a talent!" The Fifth Elder glanced at the Third Elder and spoke in a low voice. However, the admiration in his eyes was obvious.
In such a situation, he could still remain so calm. Not only was he too arrogant, but he was also not beaten to death on the spot. It was a miracle.
Third Elder naturally understood the meaning behind Fifth Elder's words.
However, admiration was one thing. The rules of the Heaven Dao Pavilion could not be broken just because of this, especially in front of the emperors of the four empires.
"You pretended to be a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion and disrupted the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test. How can you defend yourself?" Third Elder finally replied after a moment of silence.
"May I ask how I disrupted the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test?" Fang Zhengzhi asked calmly.
"In the first round, you willfully eliminated the contestants. How is that not considered disrupted the selection test?"
"Willfully? Does that mean that Third Elder does not agree with my decision to eliminate the contestants? Then, why didn't Third Elder and Fifth Elder stop me? "Fang Zhengzhi asked back.
"This …" Third Elder paused.
"Or should I say, Third Elder and Fifth Elder felt that those who were eliminated would be resentful? Spreading rumors of the Heaven Dao Pavilion's unfairness in the four empires? Why don't we call them back? Let's ask them one by one and see if they are grateful or resentful. How about that? "Fang Zhengzhi continued.
"Do we even need to call them back?"
"Of course those who were eliminated would be resentful."
"They can't possibly be grateful to you right?"
When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples heard this, they all had a look of certainty on their faces.
However, Third Elder's face darkened. No one would believe such a thing. To be so emotional and grateful after being eliminated.
But, he knew that this was the truth.
Fang Zhengzhi did it. He did it in an unimaginable way. If not for the fact that the Emperors of the four empires were participating in the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test, he might have allowed Fang Zhengzhi to continue being eliminated.
"Oh yes, I forgot something. Kong Qing also eliminated someone, the Sixth Prince of the Radiant Moon Empire. Why don't we call him back and see if he is grateful or resentful? If the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion were to willfully eliminate the contestants, it's not considered disrupting the selection test. I was kind enough to help you, but it's considered disrupting the selection test. What's the meaning of this? "Fang Zhengzhi continued.
"Good lad, I admit that your mouth is indeed powerful. Furthermore, I also admit that those people left with gratitude in their hearts! However, you have to admit that you pretended to be a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, right? "Third Elder heard this and nodded.
"Did they really leave with gratitude in their hearts?"
"What's going on?"
When the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion heard that Third Elder had admitted to it, they were all shocked. However, no one dared to question him.
"Why should I admit to it? I didn't pretend to be a disciple. Do you have any proof that I pretended to be a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion? "Fang Zhengzhi ignored the discussions of the disciples behind him and said calmly.
"Proof? Do you still need proof? Lad, you have already admitted that the real Kong Qing eliminated the Sixth Prince of the Radiant Moon Empire. What's the use of trying to deny it now? "Third Elder was stunned. He was furious and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
This was a fact that was already on the table, yet he still wanted proof. What was this guy's skin made of? It was probably thicker than the city walls!
"I did admit that Kong Qing eliminated the Sixth Prince of the Radiant Moon Empire. However, I did not admit that I pretended to be a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion." Fang Zhengzhi pouted at Third Elder.
"What do you mean? Are you trying to say that you are a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion? "Third Elder was stunned once again.
"That's right!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head.
"Lad, you are so shameless. Lying through your teeth, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?" Third Elder looked at Fang Zhengzhi's confident expression. After a full ten seconds of silence, he finally opened his mouth and said.
"I'm not afraid. The Heavens are fair. I am a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion. This is the truth. I am very magnanimous." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
"….." Third Elder was speechless.
Fifth Elder was equally speechless.
"This lad actually said that he is a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion? How is that possible! "
"Shameless to the extreme!"
"I have never seen such a shameless person!"
The disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion began to curse when they heard this. What else could be more shameless than lying through one's teeth?
"Lad, I don't care what you are thinking. The fact that you pretended to be Kong Qing is the truth. There is no way to dispute it!" Third Elder finally spoke after a long silence.
"Actually, my name is Kong Qing." Fang Zhengzhi said with a face full of sincerity.
"…" The Third Elder's mouth opened and closed. It was as if a mouthful of hot blood was stuck in his throat. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Because he couldn't understand how shameless a person had to be to say something like that.
You are called Kong Qing?
Who would believe that!
