"You …" The Holy Barbarian Empire Emperor's expression was terrifying. What could be more humiliating than witnessing his own son being killed and having his opponent point a sword at him and tell him to scram or die?
Looking at Fang Zhengzhi and the blood-stained Traceless Sword in Fang Zhengzhi's hand, the Holy Barbarian Empire Emperor really wanted to charge forward. He wanted to kill this person who dared to kill his son.
However, at this moment, an anxious voice was heard from the Heaven Academic Altar.
"Father, you can't!"
"You can't?!" The Holy Barbarian Empire Emperor knew that this voice belonged to his other son. He also knew why he couldn't do it.
However, he couldn't tolerate it.
As the emperor of a generation, his own son was stabbed to death in front of him, and the enemy was so close. How could he tolerate it? How could he tolerate it?
A powerful aura surged from his body like a roaring ocean. It was furious and intimidating.
However, he didn't take another step forward. It wasn't because he didn't want to, but because he knew that he wasn't in the Holy Barbarian Empire. He was in the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
"The Great Xia Dynasty doesn't mind fighting another war for Fang Zhengzhi. Yun 'er, do you mind?" Emperor Lin Mubai's voice rang out as he looked at the Holy Barbarian Empire Emperor.
"I don't mind!" Prince Xian Lin Yun replied without any hesitation.
"Hiss!"
The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples felt a chill down their spines when they heard the 'simple' conversation between the Great Xia Dynasty Emperor and Prince Xian Lin.
They didn't mind starting a war just for one person.
Moreover, this person was a person who was about to die in less than four months.
It had to be said that the Emperor and Prince Xian Lin Yun did it. They used the most direct method to tell Fang Zhengzhi to kill as many people as he wanted, even if it meant a war between the two countries.
"Ah!!!" The Holy Barbarian Empire Emperor let out a roar. He was filled with hatred. However, he still had the people of the empire behind him.
More importantly …
He had already been defeated once. How could he lose again?
"Return my son's body to me!" The Holy Barbarian Empire Emperor finally calmed down after roaring. His fists were clenched so tightly that they turned white.
"Dong!" Qian Wu's body rolled to the Holy Barbarian Empire Emperor's feet.
Fang Zhengzhi did not say anything else.
His current target was not the emperor of the Holy Barbarian Empire. Furthermore, he did not have the hobby of "killing the entire clan". However, Qian Wu had to die.
Be it for the dead King Li of the First Rank, or for Ping Yang who was waiting for her at the Ling Yun Tower, or for Qian Wu's decision to stand up for her.
Of course, if the Holy Barbarian Dynasty Emperor wanted to fight.
Let's fight!
There was nothing to worry about. Just as the people around him had said, he was now a person who was half a step into death. What else did he have to fear?
The Holy Barbarian Empire Emperor clenched his fists tightly once again, his nails piercing deep into his flesh. He did not stay any longer. Instead, he carried Qian Wu's corpse and strode out of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
He did not stay in the Heaven Dao Pavilion any longer.
Because his most beloved son was already dead.
The hope of the Holy Barbarian Empire had been extinguished. What he needed to do next was to quell the internal strife, defend his territory, and wait for the other empires to attack.
It was a lonely figure. However, this was the reality of the world where the strong ruled.
Fang Zhengzhi turned around slowly and did not look at the Holy Barbarian Empire Emperor again. There was only one person in his purple eyes, and that was the Fifth Elder who was standing in front of him.
"Brat, you're ruthless!" The Fifth Elder looked at Fang Zhengzhi as well. He did not think that Fang Zhengzhi's actions were inappropriate.
This was because he would have done the same thing if he was in Fang Zhengzhi's shoes.
Just like how he attacked Nangong Mu, he could not tolerate someone who could ambush him from behind. This was not kindness, but stupidity.
The strong ruled.
This was the law of survival.
This was especially so in the Holy Region, where this law was even more profound.
Right now, he was abiding by this law. Only by killing Fang Zhengzhi would he be able to maintain his position in the Heaven Dao Pavilion and regain his lost dignity.
"Kaboom!" A loud sound rang out behind him.
The Fifth Elder did not look at it. He knew that it was the sound of Yan Qing and Nangong Mu fighting, but he did not have the energy to care about it now.
This was because Fang Zhengzhi's strength had exceeded his expectations.
Heavenly Rebirth Dao?
And the Near-Life Dao!
Furthermore, after fighting for so long and being ambushed by him, Fang Zhengzhi still did not feel exhausted. What kind of monster was this brat?
"Die!" The Fifth Elder did not think any further. He pointed his sword at Fang Zhengzhi and charged forward again.
As a Sage and an elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, he had his own dignity. Even though he was not feeling well, he could not stop and rest.
The jade-green sword was covered in a thick radiance, and it was extremely fast.
"Die!" Fang Zhengzhi shouted coldly. The Traceless Sword in his hand buzzed and the demonic purple radiance seemed to be even more intense than before.
However, just as he was about to charge forward …
An intense pain came from his chest. It was a dizzying feeling caused by his heart beating violently, as though he was being pierced by countless cold thorns.
This caused Fang Zhengzhi's vision to go blank.
However, the oppressive and sharp aura was already right in front of him.
Instinctively, Fang Zhengzhi swung his sword at the aura. Then, he felt a strong force colliding with his sword.
"Boom!" A loud explosion sounded.
Fang Zhengzhi's body flew backward, smashing through a white jade pillar like a meteor. This caused the pain in his heart to become even more intense.
"Argh …" Fang Zhengzhi spat out a mouthful of blood as his intense heartbeat rang in his ears. It was like a deafening drum beat.
"What's going on?!"
"Is this guy done for?"
"It seems like he's really exhausted!"
Upon seeing this, the surrounding Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples were shocked. This was because, based on the situation just now, Fang Zhengzhi should not have been defeated so quickly.
At the very least …
He should not have been defeated like this.
Could it be that he purposely revealed an opening?
This was the thought in the hearts of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples. However, very quickly, this thought was denied by them. This was because, Fang Zhengzhi's current state was clearly a little strange.
His face was incomparably pale, and the demonic purple light on his body was constantly fluctuating. It felt as though his body was about to be completely devoured.
It was a very strange feeling.
The Fifth Elder was also a little surprised. In the previous exchange, he did not gain any advantage from Fang Zhengzhi's voice, even though it was two against one.
However, in the previous exchange, he clearly felt that Fang Zhengzhi's strength had weakened significantly, and he even felt a little powerless.
What was going on?
Was he really exhausted all of a sudden?
The Fifth Elder felt that the possibility of this was not high. After all, it was impossible for there to be such a huge difference between one attack and another. Even if he was really exhausted, it should be gradual.
Could it be that some hidden illness was acting up?
The Fifth Elder suddenly thought of something. Fang Zhengzhi was a person who was about to die in less than four months. Hence, it was normal for him to have a hidden illness.
"Brat, prepare to die!" The Fifth Elder did not hesitate.
He was also very clear about the principle of taking advantage of someone's weakness. Even though he was a Sage, he still could not give up on this opportunity.
He moved his body and charged towards Fang Zhengzhi once again.
…
Fang Zhengzhi really wanted to curse. F * ck your mother!
This was because he suddenly remembered something. He seemed to have forgotten to take his medicine. However, this was not entirely his fault. After all, it had not even been a month since he left the Northern Mountain Village.
Normally …
He did not need to take medicine now.
However, the intense pain in his heart told him clearly that he could not stop taking the medicine.
What was going on?
Was it because he had used up too much energy, hence he needed to take the medicine in advance? Or was it because he had taken too much medicine previously, causing the effect of the medicine to shorten?
This possibility was still possible.
After all, if any medicine was taken too much or too forcefully, the body would naturally develop some resistance.
This was a very simple logic.
After Fang Zhengzhi returned to the Northern Mountain Village after the battle in the Flame Capital City, the timing of his medicine was also messed up. As such, he did not calculate the exact time when he took the medicine in the Northern Mountain Village.
However, this was not the main problem now. It was that he did not have the medicine on him.
This was because Wu Yuer had learned something after the battle in the Flame Capital City. She could not put the medicine on Fang Zhengzhi.
Even if it was a spare, it would not do.
It had to be said that Wu Yuer was very smart. This could be said to be a lesson learned. In order to prevent Fang Zhengzhi from being "rash", she immediately stopped him from taking the medicine to increase his strength.
However, this way …
It would be very awkward.
Fang Zhengzhi needed to take the medicine. However, the medicine was not on him. It was on Wu Yuer. According to the agreement, Wu Yuer would only arrive in about three to four days.
What should he do?
Why don't I have a good discussion with the Fifth Elder and shake hands and stop fighting for a few days? I'll find Wu Yuer to take some medicine and then come back to continue fighting?
Was that possible?
Fang Zhengzhi felt that if the Fifth Elder really agreed, he would be stupid.
He was done for.
He had failed to act tough and ended up being f * cked.
As he felt the powerful aura approaching, Fang Zhengzhi knew that he was about to die.
This was because he could not control the source energy of the "Vast World". The strong force was colliding with his heart.
The intense pain made him wet all over. Although the scenery in front of him was no longer blank, it kept spinning. It made him dizzy, and it was very blurry.
Was he really going to die?
Would Chi Guyan blame him for not keeping his promise? Even if she blamed him, he could not do anything about it. He was already here and everyone could see him clearly. However, Chi Guyan had hidden herself.
Was she going to blame him?
As for Ping Yang …
He was afraid that he would not be able to keep his promise. He did not know how Ping Yang was doing. However, it should not be good. After all, Cang Yue's attitude was clear.
Is she waiting for me at Ling Yun Tower?
Fang Zhengzhi recalled the scene when Ping Yang was taken away by Cang Yue and the determination and trust in Ping Yang's eyes. He did not know if it was because the conflict was getting more intense or because of some other reason, but the pain in his heart intensified.
The powerful aura in front of him was getting closer and closer. Coupled with the blurry figure, Fang Zhengzhi did not have time to think further.
The only thing he could do was …
Dodge with all his might.
"Boom!"
A ray of azure blue light flashed and Fang Zhengzhi appeared two steps away. There was a huge crater at his original position.
In the crater, the Fifth Elder was looking at him with a murderous look.
He dodged.
That was something to be thankful for.
Unfortunately, Fifth Elder had already charged towards him once again, and the pounding in Fang Zhengzhi's heart was getting more and more intense. The heavy pounding sounds in his ears rang in his head, and the spinning images made it impossible for him to use the Heaven Dao to evade.
"Hum!" The Traceless Sword let out a hum. A demonic purple light shone on the Traceless Sword, as if it was expressing its dissatisfaction.
Fang Zhengzhi was also dissatisfied.
However, there were some things that were useless even if one was dissatisfied. Qian Wu was dissatisfied, but he still died. The Holy Barbarian Empire Emperor was dissatisfied, but he still left.
Reality was cruel.
Emperor Lin Mubai and Prince Xian Lin Yun were obviously very anxious. Both of them stared intently at Fang Zhengzhi.
However, what could they do?
They could go to war with the Holy Barbarian Empire for Fang Zhengzhi, but they could not do anything now. That was because even the Pavilion Leader of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, Mu Qingfeng, chose to remain silent.
Therefore, how could they intervene?
"Fang Zhengzhi!" Nangong Mu's voice rang out. However, he could not move away because Yan Qing's fist was already in front of him.
It was a very direct way of fighting, without any fancy moves. Every move was a killing move. Moreover, the explosive power made it impossible for him to escape.
"Boom!" The ground cracked.
Nangong Mu had no choice but to jump to the side. Furthermore, because he was distracted just now, his shoulder was scratched.
"Brat, give up. No one can save you!" The Fifth Elder moved his body and appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi. The sword in his hand was aimed at Fang Zhengzhi's chest.
"Indeed, one should take his medicine on time if he is sick …" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the sword that was aimed at his chest and sighed. He slowly closed his eyes.
He was waiting for the sword to pierce his chest.
It was very painful.
He did not know if the sword had pierced through his chest.
Fang Zhengzhi was not sure. After all, he could no longer feel any pain from the pain in his chest. However, something did not seem right.
On his chest, there was a Heart Protection Mirror made from "The Vast World".
