Boom!
Meanwhile, in the sky, the three warlocks fell straight to the ground. A look of disbelief and unwillingness was seen on their faces as they really could not believe how sharp Fang Zhengzhi’s sword was.
Meanwhile, in the sky, the three warlocks fell straight to the ground. A look of disbelief and unwillingness was seen on their faces as they really could not believe how sharp Fang Zhengzhi’s sword was.
Not only did he manage to destroy the Twelve Warlocks’ Formation, but he also managed to cause severe injuries to the three warlocks.
Blood spurted out from their bodies.
None of the three warlocks had a complete body. They were all cut by the sword radiance into halves and fell to the ground.
At this moment, the red lava flowed over.
“Ah!”
“What? The ground…”
“…”
Before the three severely-injured warlocks could land on the ground, they were swallowed by the red lava and their bodies split open, producing cracking sounds.
Of course, they had yet to die.
As the twelve ancient warlocks, they were very strong-willed. Even if their bodies were cut into half and burnt by the lava, they would not die immediately.
However, it was definitely extremely painful.
“Save… save me!” The three warlocks were in extreme agony and shouted loudly at Hong You for help as they tried to leave the lava.
However, when they opened their mouths, the lava gushed into their mouths and into their internal organs, causing the pain they felt to be even more intense.
“Stop moving, we are coming to save you!” Hong You was injured too but it did not affect him much because it was merely on the skin.
They lost?!
This was unexpected for Hong You.
In the ancient era when the twelve warlocks fought against Emperor Huang Xuanyuan together, they did not suffer such grave injuries like today.
Detestable!
Hong You was burning with rage but he could no longer care further as he had to save the three warlocks who were surrounded by lava.
He dashed down.
However, a shadow moved faster than him.
Swoos.h.!.+ With a flash of light radiance, the shadow went into the lava before leaving it, leaving behind some blue radiance.
Meanwhile, the three warlocks who were surrounded by the lava froze.
Death…
They eventually had to face it.
Boom!
Boom!
“…”
The three warlocks’ bodies exploded and their flesh was engulfed by the lava. They were instantly charred and turned into smoke.
“Fang Zhengzhi, I am going to kill you!” Hong You stared at the figure standing beside the lava as well as the three warlocks who disappeared in the lava.
Since the ancient era, the twelve warlocks had fought many battles.
And they had yet to lose any.
However, today, four of them died in one battle. This battle was definitely the one that fuelled the greatest resentment amongst them.
“Ah!”
“Fang Zhengzhi!”
“Attack!”
The other warlocks roared furiously too.
They were so furious that they could not be bothered about anything else. All of them swarmed towards Fang Zhengzhi and vowed to kill him.
“Oh, you guys are angry? You mean you guys did not realize that you will be killed by me before deciding to kill me?” Fang Zhengzhi smirked.
He did not like to kill.
However, that did not mean that he would show mercy to his enemies. In fact, that was not being merciful but being stupid.
After four of the twelve warlocks died, his stress disappeared instantly. Furthermore, with the loss of emotional control of the warlocks, they were no longer a threat to Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi was not afraid of the eight warlocks at all. He stood on the spot with his sword and waited for them to charge over.
He actually enjoyed the feeling of how others could not stand him but could not kill him too.
‘Come on, let’s hurt each other.’
‘I’m not scared!’
“Boom!” At this moment, the second fountain of lava spurted out from the ground and burst into bright fireworks in the sky.
The surrounding G.o.dly Beasts and demons frowned when they saw this.
“What’s going on?”
“Is the ground cracking because of the impact?”
“Hmm, such a great battle could indeed result in an explosion.”
Although the Monster Race and Demon Race were suspicious, they did not bother too much as, after all, before the huge battle in ancient times, the ground had exploded before.
In a battle of the powerful individuals, it was not surprising to see incidences such as ground cracking and collapse of mountains.
Fang Zhengzhi did not bother as well.
He was already in the midst of a fight with Hong You and the remaining eight warlocks.
“Attack!”
“Attack!”
“…”
Hong You and the rest of the warlocks were mad and every strike they took were targeted at Fang Zhengzhi’s vital areas. Their eyes were bloodshot.
Fang Zhengzhi’s body was glowing.
He attacked swiftly amongst the crowd of Hong You and the other warlocks, causing blood to splatter with every strike he took. He looked slightly insane as well.
“From now on, the twelve warlocks would disappear from history!” Fang Zhengzhi moved and his Xuanyuan Sword made a loud and clear whistle.
Then, one of the heads of the warlock flew in the air.
Followed by another head.
All the warlocks had two heads. Fang Zhengzhi did not show mercy and his Xuanyuan Sword turned into a beam of golden light, crus.h.i.+ng the bodies of the warlocks into pieces.
Boom!
Another warlock died and landed in the lava.
Meanwhile, the third lava fountain gushed out from underground. Thick white clouds were formed when the scorching hot lava touched the air.
It happened almost instantly but shrouded Fang Zhengzhi and the warlocks completely.
“Fang Zhengzhi, I am going to kill you, kill you!” Hong You dashed across the white haze crazily. He wanted to get hold of Fang Zhengzhi and kill him.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was too sneaky.
With the Heavenly Rebirth Dao, he was like a loach that could not be caught, weaving amongst the rest.
Moreover, the Xuanyuan Sword that Fang Zhengzhi was holding onto was too sharp, he could easily break through the defense of the warlocks.
If he was unable to catch Fang Zhengzhi, he could be “bitten” by him at any moment…
Hong You was going crazy.
…
Qiong Qi and Tao Wu were fighting against Xing Tian.
They were similarly injured. None of them approached Xing Tian directly as they made use of the “drag on” tactic.
However, the real significance of the “drag on” tactic was…
For the twelve warlocks to kill Fang Zhengzhi as soon as possible.
Yet now?
Five of the twelve warlocks had died and the remaining seven were playing “hide and seek” with Fang Zhengzhi like absent-mindedly in the white haze.
Therefore, did they have to continue dragging on?
“Roar… It seems like Hong You and the warlocks can’t last longer!” Tao Qu spoke.
“Hmm, retreat!” Qiong Qi nodded and made the decision because he knew very well that they would be the next victims once the warlocks died.
“Got it.” Tao Wu understood this logic.
n.o.body would give up on opportunities if they could seize them. However, when they could no longer seize them, the most important thing was to protect their lives.
It was easy to form alliances.
However, it was even easier to break alliances once something went wrong.
Qiong Qi and Tao Wu ran towards two different directions. Without evening greeting Hong You, they left the battle involving Xing Tian.
“Attack!” Xing Tian roared loudly.
His target had never been Qiong Qi and Tao Wu. If he was not being held back, he would have gone straight to Fang Zhengzhi and would not have wasted his time there.
Therefore, he did not bother pursuing after the fact that Qiong Qi and Tao Wu had left.
He roared and charged towards Fang Zhengzhi again.
Bam! His gigantic body charged into the white haze and hit a warlock who was “wandering around” out of the region.
Then, an ax struck.
Boom!
The warlock died.
“What?!”
“It’s… It’s Xing Tian?!”
“Brother, what do we do?”
The other warlocks turned extremely pale when they saw how the warlock was. .h.i.t out by Xing Tian who was charging into the area.
What was meant by adding fuel to the fire?
What was meant by adding hail to the snow?
The answer was none other than Xing Tian’s partic.i.p.ation in the battle.
Rumble! The fourth beam of lava gushed out from underground, the red lava almost setting the air ablaze. Red flames started to burn in the white haze.
The sky became extremely hot.
The temperature was extremely high when the white haze surrounded one’s body.
Hong You’s body was red and he perspired profusely. However, nothing could be comparable to how his heart was frozen like ice.
‘What should we do?’
‘Exactly, what should we do?’
The twelve warlocks were only left with six…
What else could he do?!
“Retreat!” Hong You shouted as he turned towards the exit.
However, at this moment, a figure appeared in front of him. His blue robe was blown by the white haze and flowed continuously in the sky.
Fang Zhengzhi was somewhat impressed by Hong You.
Despite the fact that he was about to die, he still insisted on saying “retreat” in a scholarly manner? Shouldn’t he be screaming for others to retreat?
“Trying to run away when you can’t win? You are too naive.” Hong You pointed his sword at Hong You and his Xuanyuan Sword glowed with radiance like the sun.
“Fang Zhengzhi, we are enemies!” Hong You was extremely furious. However, when he wanted to look for Fang Zhengzhi to fight, he could not find him.
However, when he wanted to flee…
Fang Zhengzhi appeared and blocked his way.
n.o.body would be pleased with this feeling of being “teased”.
Hong You attacked. Before Fang Zhengzhi came forward, he dashed towards Fang Zhengzhi. He would sacrifice himself for the other warlocks.
“Looks like you are somewhat beastly!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded. Although the twelve warlocks were cruel, none of them were useless and timid.
They would die willingly.
Fang Zhengzhi was somewhat impressed by their character. However, he did not intend to let any of them off.
The reason was simple…
If he did not get rid of all of them, they would revolt!
“None of you can leave!”
As Fang Zhengzhi shouted, the twelve b.a.l.l.s of flames burned around the six warlocks.
Rebirth h.e.l.l Dao.
Meanwhile, a powerful attractive force sucked the other warlocks to the ground.
As for Hong You…
Fang Zhengzhi decided to kill him in a straightforward manner.
“Die!”
“Die!”
Hong You and Fang Zhengzhi’s voice could be heard at the same time.
Then, both of them collided. Fang Zhengzhi’s sword penetrated Hong You’s chest accurately and Hong You’s eyes widened.
Meanwhile, four of Hong You’s arms attacked Fang Zhengzhi’s head and chest.
However…
All four arms stopped beyond Fang Zhengzhi’s body as a layer of golden s.h.i.+eld blocked Hong You’s final attack.
“You are indeed very powerful… You are more… more powerful than Emperor Huang Xuanyuan…” Hong You spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at Fang Zhengzhi’s face.
Fang Zhengzhi used his s.h.i.+eld to block Hong You’s attack.
Hong You knew that it was the real defense.
However, he was unwilling to let the twelve warlocks die in Fang Zhengzhi’s hands.
Shameless…
Shameless!
How could the Twelve Warlocks’ Formation be defeated?!
Hong You coughed out more blood. Although the strike of Fang Zhengzhi’s sword was not fatal, Hong You had given up on resisting as Fang Zhengzhi was too powerful.
Qiong Qi and Tao Wu had fled…
And the rest of the warlocks were trapped.
They were dead meat.
Therefore, he only hoped to die before the other warlocks because he could not bear to watch the others die.
“Kill me, kill me!” Hong You kept his four arms and grabbed the Xuanyuan Sword with all his might, looking extremely terrifying.
The other G.o.dly Beasts and demons lowered their heads.
They lost…
The twelve warlocks lost.
Qiong Qi and Tao Wu had already fled.
They had no way to kill Xing Tian or Fang Zhengzhi. It was meaningless to stay here.
“Run!”
“Run!”
“…”
The Monster Race and Demon Race fled.
At this moment, the fifth beam of lava surged out from underground into the sky. It was gigantic and different from the other four beams of lava in terms of temperature and texture.
Rumble! The ground shook and broke open. The entire ground was red, or rather, the Changyang Mountain was no longer the Changyang Mountain as it was h.e.l.l made up of fire red lava.
“What’s going on?!”
“This… Lava is weird?!”
“Could there be… other forms of life underground?!”
The G.o.dly Beasts and demons were stunned as the fifth beam of lava was way too powerful. It connected the sky and earth like the Heaven Receiving Ladder.
Moreover…
There seemed to be a black round spot in the lava.
“What on earth is that?”
“It looks like… a head?!”
“Head?!”
“What? Could that be the head of Xing Tian that was buried underground?!”
The G.o.dly Beasts and demons were astonished.
