"What's the difference?" Sixth Elder asked.
"It's … scaring people! Weren't you scared by my Heavenly Oasis Clear Fire Pill? Hahaha … "The Heavenly Oasis Saint laughed happily.
"Heavenly Oasis old man, you've become more and more cunning. Scaring people? Hmph, do you think I'll believe you? "Sixth Elder naturally did not believe him.
The Heavenly Oasis Saint in front of him was obviously a sly old man who had been in the "mortal world" for a long time.
Hence, Sixth Elder would not be fooled easily. The more casual the Heavenly Oasis Saint spoke, the more careful he was to not get too close to that area.
When the Heavenly Oasis Saint saw how careful Sixth Elder was, he heaved a sigh of relief. He subconsciously recalled the scene from a year ago.
That day, he was refining a cauldron of Clear Fire Pills. Coincidentally, when he walked into the alchemy room and was about to open the cauldron, he saw Fang Zhengzhi walking around in front of his cauldron.
Without guessing, the Heavenly Oasis Saint knew that Fang Zhengzhi was here to steal the pills.
As the saying went, it was easy to dodge a spear in the open, but difficult to guard against a stab in the dark.
Fang Zhengzhi belonged to this category. Most importantly, even if he was caught, he would still say that he went to the wrong door with an innocent look on his face.
To this, the Heavenly Oasis Saint naturally gave Fang Zhengzhi a look of disdain. Then, he ordered Fang Zhengzhi to scram.
Then, an innocent face appeared.
However, this time, Fang Zhengzhi was not shameless enough to say that he went to the wrong door. Instead, he "humbly" asked the Heavenly Oasis Saint about the use of this cauldron of pills.
The Heavenly Oasis Saint did not want to say it, but he had no choice. Furthermore, it was time to open the cauldron. Hence, he could only explain to Fang Zhengzhi as he opened the cauldron.
Then, he was met with Fang Zhengzhi's disdain.
"Disperse the air I exhale? That's a pity. Why don't you add some ingredients and let the air gather around you? That way, it will look more frightening. Furthermore, the pills will be bigger and will be sold at a higher price. "
"Frightening? What's the use of that? You stinking brat, you only know how to play with these useless things! Quickly go away, don't disturb this old man retrieving the pill! "
"I don't understand? You're the one who doesn't understand … For a miser like you, the person who could force you to eat this Clear Fire Pill is definitely much stronger than you. If you don't scare him, do you think you can survive just by relying on the medicinal effects of the Clear Fire Pill? Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain it to you. Let me play with one, I'll help you improve it. "
"…"
Of course, the Heavenly Oasis Saint would not do as Fang Zhengzhi wished. He stopped Fang Zhengzhi's shameless act in time when he grabbed the Clear Fire Pill. However, he did not completely disregard Fang Zhengzhi's words. When he tried to refine the pill again, he could not resist the urge to test it out. Hence, he refined a bottle of Clear Fire Pill with its own effect.
And now, it was proven that Fang Zhengzhi's casual remark had allowed him to persevere in his battle with Sixth Elder.
…
Heaven Dao Pavilion, in the Heaven Academic Altar on the Sword Peak.
A gigantic green stone door stood in the middle of the Heaven Academic Altar. The stone sculptures on both sides, as well as the head of a beast on top of the stone door, exuded a desolate and ancient aura.
The Heaven-Receiving Door!
This was the same green stone door that appeared above the Heaven Academic Altar when Nangong Hao used the Blood Offering Illustration a month ago. However, the Heaven-Receiving Door was now closed, and it was surrounded by restrictions.
At the same time, the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples took turns to guard it.
At this moment, eight Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples dressed in white scholar robes stood in eight different directions. They held swords in their hands, preventing anyone from getting close.
Of course, even though they were standing in the Heaven Academic Altar, they could still vaguely hear the huge commotion at the foot of the Sword Peak and the changes in the sky.
"What's happening at the foot of the mountain?"
"Why would there be such a huge commotion when they're chasing after Fang Zhengzhi?"
"I don't know, but I think something big must have happened. However, our duty is to guard the Heaven-Receiving Door. Everyone, stay alert, in case someone ambushes us!"
"Yes!"
After a brief discussion, the eight Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples shut their mouths and scanned their surroundings carefully.
However, their attention was focused on their surroundings. None of them paid attention to the Heaven-Receiving Door. After all, the Heaven-Receiving Door had been standing in the Heaven Dao Pavilion for a month without any commotion.
However, at this moment …
The beast head on the Heaven-Receiving Gate moved slightly, but it didn't make any sound. However, the mouth of the beast head clearly opened a little wider.
Then, a spot of starlight shot out from its mouth and flew into the sky.
"Buzz!" As soon as the starlight shot out, the restrictions around the Heaven-Receiving Door shook violently and made a soft sound.
The sound wasn't loud, and the movements of the restrictions weren't intense either.
However, the eight Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples reacted immediately and drew their swords at the same time.
Clang! The eight swords were drawn, and they shone with a cold light.
"There's movement!"
"Is someone coming?"
"No, but the restrictions seem to have been triggered!"
The eight Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples looked at each other with a serious and solemn look on their faces. Their gazes were like torches as they scanned their surroundings and the restrictive spell behind them.
However, the restrictions quickly calmed down.
It felt like nothing had happened at all.
"Was it an illusion?"
"That's impossible. All eight of us sensed it. There's definitely something wrong. Master once said that we have to report to him immediately if anything happens in the Heaven-Receiving Gate. Junior Brother Wang, hurry up and report to Master!"
"But Master seems to be cultivating in seclusion?"
"Even if he's cultivating in seclusion, we have to report to him immediately. That's what Master told us to do!"
"Understood, I'll go now!" A Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple obeyed the order and sprinted towards where Mu Qingfeng was cultivating in seclusion.
At the same time, the starlight that shot up from the beast head of the Heaven-Receiving Door slowly fell from the sky. It was inconspicuous under the sunlight.
However, if one took a closer look, the starlight seemed to have been injured by the restrictions. It lost its strength and floated towards the cliff of the Sword Peak …
…
In the forest on the cliff of the Sword Peak.
The battle between Fang Zhengzhi and Second Elder was still ongoing. However, compared to the previous battle, Fang Zhengzhi's side had an obvious advantage.
After the Fourth Elder collapsed, the morale of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples was no longer as high as before. Instead, it was much lower. The Shadow Sect, with their advantage in numbers, began to exert pressure on the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples' sword formation.
Finally, the eight sword formations formed by the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples began to show signs of loosening. This way, the number of injured Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples increased.
The battle between the Heavenly Oasis Saint and Sixth Elder …
Compared to the battle between the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and the Shadow Sect disciples, it was slightly more intense. However, the situation was still in a stalemate.
Sixth Elder couldn't take down the Heavenly Oasis Saint, and the Heavenly Oasis Saint couldn't take down Sixth Elder either. The two of them fought back and forth.
As for Second Elder, he was having a hard time now.
Yan Qing's fighting style had completely disrupted Second Elder's rhythm. However, Yan Qing was still brave enough to fight first. It was almost like a stalemate.
Yan Xiu was different from Yan Qing.
Right now, Yan Xiu relied on his instincts to fight. It could be said that in Yan Xiu's eyes, there was no longer a distinction between friend and foe.
There was only a murderous intent, a cold murderous intent.
However, for some reason, Yan Xiu's murderous intent always avoided Fang Zhengzhi. It would only target Second Elder and Yan Qing.
Second Elder didn't know if it was a coincidence, but it was the truth. Every move of Yan Xiu's brushed past Fang Zhengzhi's body. However, he didn't hurt Fang Zhengzhi at all.
This allowed Fang Zhengzhi to have an absolute advantage in this chaotic battle.
If Yan Qing and Yan Xiu were two extremely unstable factors on the battlefield, then Fang Zhengzhi was definitely a shameless person who would sneak an attack from afar.
However, each of Fang Zhengzhi's sword was extremely terrifying.
Coupled with the formless and powerful attraction of the Hell Dao and the Hell Near-Life Chains, Second Elder couldn't defend against them.
After witnessing the battle between Fang Zhengzhi and Yuan Rong, Second Elder naturally didn't dare to underestimate Fang Zhengzhi's threat, especially the Hell Near-Life Chains.
After all, if he was stabbed …
He would have one foot in the Door of Death.
"Am I going to lose?" Second Elder couldn't accept it. He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if he lost this battle.
However, no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't hold on any longer. Especially when the Shadow Sect disciples and the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples were fighting each other.
If this continued …
He could imagine the losses he would suffer in this battle.
What should he do?
Second Elder was careless and a wound appeared on his arm. He was scratched by a finger. And the person who could use such a technique was naturally Yan Qing.
Of course, when Yan Qing scratched him, there was also a sword mark on his arm. It was a wound caused by the nine dancing golden swords.
It was so deep that the bone could be seen.
However, Yan Qing didn't care at all.
Blood stained Yan Qing's sleeves, but the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Second Elder obviously knew that this was because of Yan Qing's Inextinguishable Gifted Bloodline. However, even though he knew that, he couldn't find an effective opportunity to deal a fatal blow to Yan Qing.
Because Fang Zhengzhi wouldn't allow him to do so.
"Am I really going to lose?" Second Elder didn't know how many times he had asked himself. If not for the fact that the outcome of this battle was too important, he would have ordered a retreat.
However, he couldn't, he really couldn't!
"Even if I die, I have to protect the Heaven Dao Pavilion's reputation. I can't lose this battle, Fang Zhengzhi must die!" Second Elder's body was already stained with blood. However, he forced himself to take a deep breath. The golden sword in his hand exploded with a golden light that was at least three meters long.
Then, Second Elder leaped up and went around Yan Qing. He slashed his sword at Fang Zhengzhi, who was standing behind Yan Qing.
"Let me!" When Yan Qing saw Second Elder leaping up, he squatted down and dashed towards Second Elder like a frog.
The moment his feet left the ground, a few cracks appeared on the ground.
It was obvious that Yan Qing's control of his strength was still lacking. However, this didn't affect his speed.
Almost at the same time when the Second Elder's sword slashed down, Yan Qing's arms hugged the Second Elder's right leg. Then, he pulled his body down with all his might.
This action …
It was impossible for a truly powerful cultivator to do so. However, Yan Qing did it. Furthermore, he did it without any hesitation.
However, it was precisely because of this that the Second Elder's body involuntarily tilted, and the golden sword light that was slashing down also deviated slightly from its target.
"This is my chance!" Fang Zhengzhi's lips curled up. He had been waiting for this moment. In a battle between powerful cultivators, the more impatient one was, the more likely one to reveal an opening.
Right now, Second Elder was clearly panicking.
He tightened his grip on his Traceless Sword. The purple light that shot into the sky lit up. Since Second Elder was in mid-air, he was confident that even if he didn't die, he would definitely be severely injured.
He didn't hesitate much.
As for hesitation?
That was even more impossible. Things had already developed to this stage. Even if he was kind enough to let Second Elder off today, he was afraid that Second Elder wouldn't let him off the next time they met.
The enmity between them had already been formed …
He didn't mind taking a little more revenge.
He raised his sword!
The dragon's roar was loud and clear!
Fang Zhengzhi's body disappeared at this moment. In the next moment, eight black figures appeared around Second Elder. Each of the black figures held a long sword that shone with a purple light.
"Dragon Dances Eight Realms!" This was the most offensive technique that he could use now. Therefore, with such a good opportunity in front of him, how could he be stingy?
The eight black figures appeared in eight different directions around Second Elder.
At the same time, the eight long swords were raised. The purple light lit up the sky. Then, eight dragon's roars rang out and eight twisted sword radiances slashed towards Second Elder.
"Boom!" A loud sound rang out.
The purple light blossomed in the sky like a purple lotus. At the same time, blood splattered in the purple light and floated in the air.
