"Rascal, are you trying to provoke me?" Third Elder obviously knew what Fang Zhengzhi was planning. In terms of state of mind, he was undoubtedly much more powerful than Kong Qing.
However, this did not mean that he would not be angry.
As an elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, it was impossible for him to not be affected by Fang Zhengzhi's repeated 'provocations'.
"Then seven, or six. Anyway, you don't care about your old face anymore. As an elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, how can you bully an unarmed junior in front of everyone, sigh …"
"Shut up!" Third Elder's expression finally changed.
"Are you angry from embarrassment? You're bullying a junior, and you don't want me to say anything? What kind of logic is this, let me have five moves, five moves should be enough right? This is already my limit! "Fang Zhengzhi was naturally not going to be intimidated.
As for keeping his mouth shut?
That was even more impossible. How could one's mouth be shut so easily?
Just like how Third Elder was about to attack at the slightest disagreement. Would Third Elder really not move if Fang Zhengzhi told him not to move?
"Rascal, you're courting death!" Third Elder clenched his fists, and the white light on his forehead instantly solidified, turning into an extremely complicated white symbol.
Then, he took another step forward.
A powerful aura surged from his body, as if it was about to explode at any time, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
Two steps away.
It was definitely not far, and in fact, it was extremely close.
Fang Zhengzhi naturally felt this aura, and even the white scholar's robe on his body was blown by it.
However, he could not retreat.
At least …
He could not retreat now.
"Third Elder." At this moment, a voice finally rang out, coming from the center of the Heaven Academic Altar. It was not loud, but it was enough to make everyone tremble.
"Master!" Upon hearing this voice, all the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples bowed in unison, and looked towards the center of the Heaven Academic Altar.
Mu Qingfeng, who was originally sitting on the white jade chair, stood up at this moment.
His gaze slowly swept across the four emperors, and the countless Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples, and finally, slowly landed on Fang Zhengzhi and Third Elder.
"Pavilion Master!" The Third Elder also looked at Mu Qingfeng. His ruddy face was a little unwilling, but he still stopped.
Fang Zhengzhi heaved a sigh of relief.
His goal was naturally not to anger the Third Elder so that the Third Elder would reveal a flaw in the battle. After all, the possibility of that happening was too low.
However, he knew that the Heaven Dao Pavilion was a place that valued morality and justice. Moreover, the emperors of the four empires were watching.
In that case, even if the Third Elder could disregard his reputation and attack him, there would definitely be someone who would have to consider the Heaven Dao Pavilion's reputation. For example, the Pavilion Leader of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, Mu Qingfeng.
As expected, the greatest weakness of a Sage was his moral bottom line.
In this way, I should be able to participate in the third round of the selection test, right?
"Third Elder, I don't think what he said is unreasonable. Why don't you give him five moves to show fairness?" Mu Qingfeng's voice rang out again.
"Thank you, Pavilion … Huh?!" Fang Zhengzhi instinctively wanted to thank the Pavilion Leader, but before he could say the word 'Lord', his eyes widened.
Give me five moves? To show fairness?!
What was the meaning of this?
Shouldn't the plot be that Mu Qingfeng felt that the Heaven Dao Pavilion should not bully the weak, so he reluctantly allowed him to participate in the third round of the selection test?
This plot …
Was not right!
Wasn't the Sage supposed to have a moral bottom line? Wouldn't he bully the weak? Why didn't it seem to be applicable to him?
"The Pavilion Leader's magnanimity is indeed outstanding!"
Just when Fang Zhengzhi was still confused, Emperor Lin Mubai turned to Mu Qingfeng and expressed his satisfaction with Mu Qingfeng's decision.
When the other three emperors and princes saw this, they all stood up and expressed their admiration for Mu Qingfeng's magnanimity.
"Magnanimity? Is this considered as having magnanimity? What do you mean by 'outstanding' … "Fang Zhengzhi was a little confused. He looked at the emperors of the four empires, then at Mu Qingfeng, and could not react in time.
Could it be …
Was this the legendary 'background'?
Fang Zhengzhi remembered that he had read a famous novel in his previous life. There were many kinds of monsters in it, and there was even a monkey known as the Demon King.
The result was obvious.
All the monsters without any background were killed by the monkey with a single blow. As for the monsters with various backgrounds, they were all taken away. When they were taken away, they even said this in a righteous manner …
This was a calamity!
When he thought of this, Fang Zhengzhi seemed to understand.
When he perfectly concealed his identity, he would naturally become a 'monster' without any background. So what if the emperors of the four empires were watching from the side?
Who would offend the Heaven Dao Pavilion for an unknown person?
It was a very realistic problem.
More realistically, Fang Zhengzhi seemed to really need to fight with Third Elder.
"Kid, since the Pavilion Leader has spoken, I will comply with your request and let you have five moves first!" After hearing Mu Qingfeng's words, the Third Elder seemed to be slightly taken aback. Following which, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Third Elder's expression and felt a little bitter in his heart.
Just one sentence.
Mu Qingfeng only said one sentence.
It completely calmed down Third Elder's anger. In fact, it even turned from anger to joy. This meant that Fang Zhengzhi's method of provoking Fang Zhengzhi was completely useless.
Heaven Dao Pavilion Leader, Mu Qingfeng …
Indeed, this old man was the real sly old fox in the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
Fang Zhengzhi felt that he should be able to escape.
However, there were almost a thousand Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples surrounding him. In addition, Fifth Elder and the other nine contestants were blocking his path of retreat. Where could he run to?
More importantly …
Third Elder was very close to him. He was only two steps away from him.
He was sure that if he tried to escape, Third Elder would immediately attack him. In the end, he would probably not even admit to five moves.
Fang Zhengzhi suddenly felt a little regretful. He felt that he should have gritted his teeth and forced Third Elder to let him have ten moves first. No, he should have at least twenty, thirty moves first.
There was always a mistake!
"Kid, make your move. I won't retaliate within five moves. You can do whatever you want!" Third Elder looked at Fang Zhengzhi's ever-changing expression and naturally guessed what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking. The corners of his mouth curled up even more.
The surrounding Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples also looked at Fang Zhengzhi with mocking expressions on their faces.
"Does this guy really think that he can do whatever he wants with just his mouth?"
"I'd like to see how this guy is going to win against Third Elder in this' fair 'battle. Five moves? Hehe … I don't think even fifty moves would be enough, right? "
"Yes, I'm also looking forward to seeing what tricks this kid has up his sleeves. The Heavenly Rebirth Dao? Hahaha, doesn't he know what kind of place this is? "
The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples laughed as they looked at Fang Zhengzhi, as if they were looking at a dead man.
"Third Elder, I really want to make my move. However, my state is too low. Why don't you let me have ten moves first?" Fang Zhengzhi ignored the gazes of the surrounding Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and looked at Third Elder.
"Kid, you're really shameless. Five moves is your limit. If you don't make your move, don't blame me for being shameless!" Before Third Elder could finish his sentence, he suddenly scolded.
This was because Fang Zhengzhi had already made his move.
Before Third Elder could finish his sentence, Fang Zhengzhi had already made his move.
A distance of two steps.
To Fang Zhengzhi, it was almost impossible for him to escape. Hence, to Third Elder, it was the same for him.
Fang Zhengzhi's speed was very fast. After using the Heavenly Dao, his speed became even faster.
A sky-blue light shone between him and Third Elder.
This was the Heavenly Dao.
In the next moment, Fang Zhengzhi's body instantly passed through the sky-blue light and appeared behind Third Elder. Then, a loud voice rang out.
"Monkey Steals Peaches, you're not allowed to retaliate!"
After Third Elder finished his scolding, he naturally saw Fang Zhengzhi's actions. Faced with such a sudden sneak attack at such a close distance, even he could only defend against it.
Instinctively, he prepared to shake off Fang Zhengzhi, who was behind him.
This was the simplest and most effective way to deal with a sneak attack. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard Fang Zhengzhi's voice, "You're not allowed to retaliate."
This caused Third Elder's body to tremble visibly.
Shake off? Was this considered retaliating?
Probably not.
After all, shaking off his opponent would injure him.
In that instant of hesitation, Third Elder also understood that there was no way he could dodge. He could only defend against Fang Zhengzhi's attack.
Monkey Steals Peaches?
This kid, is he really going to steal my peaches?
Third Elder's battle experience was extremely rich. He naturally knew that this was a feint. Because, no one would be stupid enough to shout out the name of a technique during a sneak attack.
What were the fatal spots on his back?
The back of his head!
He understood, this kid wanted him to protect his lower body, then he would sneak an attack on the back of his head. Based on this kid's shamelessness, he would definitely do that.
However …
He had to guard his lower body.
After all, that was a peach!
What if, even if there was only a one in a million chance, this kid was not just a feint, but was actually shamelessly attacking his peach?
What should he do?
Third Elder felt a slight chill down his back.
If it had happened in a place where no one was watching, it would not have happened. If Fang Zhengzhi was killed, no one would have known.
However, now …
There were close to a thousand Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples around, as well as the emperors of the four empires and Pavilion Leader Mu Qingfeng.
This made it somewhat impossible for him to take this risk.
Third Elder suddenly felt a little regretful. He regretted walking too close to Fang Zhengzhi, which gave Fang Zhengzhi such a perfect opportunity to sneak an attack.
Possessing the Heavenly Rebirth Dao was equivalent to being half a step into the Sage State. Although such a person had yet to become a Sage, he was still extremely dangerous, especially in close combat.
However, as he approached Fang Zhengzhi, how could he have thought of all these?
"I can only use both hands!" Third Elder gritted his teeth and quickly covered his crotch with one hand, while his other hand snaked behind him like a snake, blocking the back of his head.
Then …
Third Elder felt a sharp pain coming from his buttocks.
At the same time, an excited voice rang out beside his ear. It was loud enough for everyone in the Heaven Dao Pavilion to hear it clearly.
"Thousand Years of Death!"
"…"
Third Elder's face changed from red to white, then from white to green, and finally from green to purple. It was as red as a pig's liver.
An incomparably sharp pain surged from his anus into his spine like a rushing tide, and then from his spine to his brain.
At this moment, Third Elder's mind was blank.
Apart from the pain …
He could no longer think.
If there was a word to describe Third Elder's current state of mind, it would be 'Ascension'. He wanted to ascend to a place where no one could recognize him.
Then, he flew up.
His feet left the ground and he flew towards the sky like a shooting star. However, there were no clouds beneath his feet, nor were there any wings on his back.
Hence, he would eventually fall.
"Thump!" Third Elder landed heavily on the ground, his facial features completely contorted.
He had never thought that one day, he would be in such a situation. Just like how he had never thought that after Fang Zhengzhi shouted the monkey steals the peach, why would he end up stealing his chrysanthemum?!
Did he cover his crotch, but not his anus?
A tear rolled down from the corner of Third Elder's eye. It was a pain brought about by the intense pain, a pain that came from the depths of his heart.
The entire Heaven Dao Pavilion fell silent at this moment. A deathly silence.
Fifth Elder's eyes were wide open, his eyeballs protruding out of his eye sockets, as though they were about to fall out.
The nine contestants standing behind Fifth Elder, Yan Xiu, Nangong Mu, Yan Qing, Qian Wu … all had their eyes wide open as they stared at this bizarre outcome.
All the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples had their mouths agape as they stared at Third Elder, who was sprawled on the ground, and Fang Zhengzhi, who was still maintaining his strange posture.
A chill gushed out from their backs.
Their mouths were wide open, but none of them spoke. Because, at this moment, they could no longer speak.
Not only were the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples speechless, but the emperors of the four empires were also speechless. Even though they were all powerful emperors, they could not make a single sound at this moment.
At this moment, the four emperors all froze on the spot, maintaining the posture that they had yet to completely sit down.
In fact, it was not just these four emperors …
