Chapter 744: Resonance of the Four Daos, A Final Hope
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Everyone, including the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples, the Shadow Sect disciples, the Heavenly Oasis Saint, and Yan Qianli, was stunned when they saw the blood-red light coming from Fang Zhengzhi.
“Rascal, this is too… G.o.dly?!” After searching for the right word for some time, the only thing the Heavenly Oasis Saint could say was ‘G.o.dly’.
Yan Qianli’s face was frozen.
Even though he hoped that Fang Zhengzhi could be stronger, he still felt uneasy at the notion that his strongest weapon could be mastered by someone else so quickly.
Of course, Sixth Elder was the most shocked.
At this moment, Sixth Elder opened his mouth wide. His angry eyes bulged and the look of shock on his face made his face slightly pale.
He actually saw Fang Zhengzhi master the h.e.l.l Dao in his fight against s.h.i.+ Fan. However, Fang Zhengzhi did not fight right now!
He could master a Dao just like that?!
Furthermore, he mastered the most offensive Dao among the Six Rebirth Daos, the Dao of Asura?
Could he be any more terrifying?
“There’s one type of Dao that has been in my heart for a long time but I have never tried to master it. This is because it belongs to you!” Fang Zhengzhi’s voice rang out at this moment. At the same time, his crystalline eyes shone with a blood-red light.
“In his heart for a long time?”
“Never tried to master…”
“Belongs to you?”
When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples heard Fang Zhengzhi’s words, they did not understand what he was saying.
However, when the Sixth Elder heard it, his body frozen. His pale face revealed an expression of shock. He finally understood how did Fang Zhengzhi master the Dao of Asura without having to fight.
However, the more he understood, the more shocked he was.
In his heart for a long time…
In his heart for a long time!
“This guy is a true prodigy!” Sixth Elder did not dare to believe this but reality compelled him to do so anyway.
Fang Zhengzhi did not spend any time discussing with the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion. He did not look at Sixth Elder but instead, he looked at Yan Xiu, whose eyes were closed. As he looked at his cold and pale face, which seemed oblivious to everything around him, he mumbled to himself.
“The first time I saw you… you told me that you have a lot of silver and you even treated me to a meal. At that time, I was just a humble villager from the mountain while you were a scion of the Yan Clan of Western Liang!”
“How can two people in such different circ.u.mstances become such good friends? Hurhur, to be honest, I don’t even believe it at times…”
“However, you truly treated me as a friend. When we sparred, you told me about certain moves. Only then did I know that fighting could be so interesting.”
“We rode the Snow Treading Dragon Stallion together from the Northern Lands to the Flame Capital City. I trusted you and you trusted me. What a wonderful feeling that was!”
“In the battle of the Southern Region, I did not find you because I know you’ll come and look for me, which you did. We fought together, side-by-side, and did not abandon each other…”
“Then, to help me obtain the t.i.tle of ‘champion’ of the Court Examinations, you stood up against the emperor. You resolutely refused to partic.i.p.ate in the previous selection for the Heaven Dao Pavilion and instead, went back to Western Liang!”
“When I re-appeared in the Northern Mountain Village, you rushed over as fast as you could from Western Liang. Then, you went with me to the Flame Capital City and burned down the Crown Prince Residence together.”
“One month ago, we entered the Holy Region together, but you are going to die? How can you die like this? How can you die in front of me…”
“Yan Xiu… I don’t want you to die!”
“I want to explore the Holy Region with you. We promised to take care of each other and travel through the Holy Region. Then, we’re supposed to get strong together and become Sages together!”
“Yan Xiu, to have a friend like you, I shall die without any regret!”
“Right now…”
“Yan Xiu, lend me your Dao of Asura because I want to use your Dao of Asura to kill everyone who had harmed you. I want to avenge you!”
“Kaboom!” A huge explosion.
At the same time, the sky turned dark.
Then, above Fang Zhengzhi’s head, the Rebirth Plate activated. On the Rebirth Plate, a dot of blood-red light started to s.h.i.+ne.
A ray of thunder light, which was as red as blood, fell.
A light pillar appeared between the Rebirth Plate and the sky. It was like a ladder that led all the way into the sky and a word appeared on the Rebirth State, an unbelievably complicated word which brimmed with a strong murderous intent.
The Dao of Asura, activate!
The moment the Dao of Asura activated, a murderous chillness, which resembled that of h.e.l.l, started to rise from the bottom of Fang Zhengzhi’s feet. Round red light started to circle his body.
“Boom!” The earth shook once more.
A huge shadow appeared behind Fang Zhengzhi’s back. At the same time, a black armor clad his entire body. However, unlike before, his black armor now had blood-red patterns all over it. It looked exceedingly murderous.
“Whoos.h.!.+” Black flames burned on the black armor, which was streaked with blood-red patterns. At the same time, Fang Zhengzhi’s Traceless Sword lit up with a blood-red light.
The originally purple Traceless Sword was now purple and red. The two colors each occupied half of the blade. It was murderous and demonic.
“Kill!” An angry roar.
“Gifted bloodline? No… that’s not right! He obtained his Gifted Bloodline by combining the Daos!” When Mu Qingfeng saw this scene, his face changed too.
Just now, after he heard Sixth Elder’s explanation, he knew that Fang Zhengzhi killed five Sages at once. This was shocking as he did not know how he did it.
Right now…
He finally understood!
However, because of his newfound knowledge, it was a lot harder for him to calm down. Fang Zhengzhi, who had possessed three Daos, could kill five Sages. What could he do with four Daos?
This was the first question which popped up in Mu Qingfeng’s mind. However, he did not want to know the answer to this question because the price of its answer was immense.
However, it was too late. Fang Zhengzhi had started to move. He rushed toward Second Elder immediately.
“Fang Zhengzhi, this is the Heaven Dao Pavilion!” Sixth Elder naturally did not want to see Fang Zhengzhi kill Second Elder. Hence, the moment Fang Zhengzhi rushed forth, he rushed forth oo.
His green and white swords dazzled with light. At the same time, a green and white light screen appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi, blocking him.
However, Fang Zhengzhi completely ignored the light screen. He charged toward it without a moment’s hesitation.
“Boom!” A huge sound.
Before many shocked faces, Sixth Elder’s green and white light screen was broken through like a piece of paper.
It was a shocking scene.
More shockingly, a sword radiance appeared in front of Sixth Elder after Fang Zhengzhi had broken through the green and white light screen. It was dual-colored sword radiance which was both red and purple.
It came extremely quickly.
Even Sixth Elder could not dodge it. Hence, he could only grit his teeth and receive it with his green and white sword.
“Boom!” A huge explosion rang out.
At the same time, one could hear a crack. Then, a broken blade flew into the air.
It was green and white but it had lost its l.u.s.ter.
A sword!
The sword broke!
Sixth Elder was stunned as he looked at his green and white sword, which had been snapped into two. His eyes bulged.
However, this was not the end.
The sword radiance, which had cut his sword in half, had no intention of stopping. It sliced toward his chest.
At this moment, Sixth Elder’s face was extremely pale.
He could not imagine but what kind of sword was this. He found it even harder to imagine what else Fang Zhengzhi’s sword could do if it could break his weapon in half. As for the momentum of this attack…
It was still there!
Among the Six Rebirth Daos, the Dao of Asura was the strongest. Right now, Sixth Elder finally understood how strong it was.
A palm appeared in front of Sixth Elder. When this palm appeared, Sixth Elder was not shocked. However, he felt utterly humiliated.
“Boom!” The palm hit the sword radiance.
The sword radiance which was coming toward Sixth Elder trembled. Then, it went straight past his clothes and flew behind him before making a huge explosion.
However, it was not yet over!
This was because two cerulean blue lights had appeared above Mu Qingfeng and Sixth Elder’s heads. At the same time, two figures emerged from the cerulean-blue lights.
Heavenly Descent!
In just one second, Fang Zhengzhi broke Sixth Elder’s green and white light pillar and also cut his sword into halves. Then, he used Heavenly Descent.
It was way too fast.
It was so fast until the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples did not even have time to react.
“Boom!” Another huge explosion.
Sixth Elder knelt down. His pale-white face was incredulous but the fact remained that Fang Zhengzhi had used Heavenly Descent…
He could not take it anymore!
Fang Zhengzhi had already dealt him a blow and now, with this Heavenly Descent, he could not help but feel his mouth turn sweet. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Pfft!”
Blood flew everywhere.
“Fusion of four Daos… is it this strong?!” When Mu Qingfeng saw the shadow that was above his head, he was utterly shocked.
Of course, his main problem was not how strong Fang Zhengzhi was. Fang Zhengzhi’s true target had never been Sixth Elder or him.
This was because after Fang Zhengzhi broke through the green and white light screen, while he attacked Sixth Elder and also used Heavenly descent, he had never once stopped running toward Second Elder’s position.
This was something he could not imagine.
After all, normally, with him there, how could Fang Zhengzhi approach Second Elder? However, he had to admit, if not for the fact that he was several times more powerful than Fang Zhengzhi and at the peak of his Sage State, Fang Zhengzhi could actually kill someone in front of him!
“Give up, Fang Zhengzhi!” Mu Qingfeng’s voice rang out at this moment. He disappeared from where he was. At the same time, a black shadow rushed out from the top of his head and a punch pummelled the air.
Almost concurrently, Mu Qingfeng appeared in front of Second Elder. His white-robes billowed in the air.
“All who block me shall die!” Fang Zhengzhi’s gaze turned murderous. He naturally knew how powerful Mu Qingfeng was but he could no longer live so shamefully.
He did not care how did the power of Asura infiltrate Yan Xiu’s heart. All he knew was that Second Elder made him this way and hence, he must pay for it with his life.
“Shameless thief, don’t!” At this moment, a figure descended from the sky. Like a pink dash across the sky, it cut through the air like a straight line.
It appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi instantly. Absolutely beautiful and stunning, but with a lonely face which was visibly anxious, this was Chi Guyan.
Fang Zhengzhi stopped but he gripped his Traceless Sword tightly. Clear sword roars could be heard from it.
“You want to block me?” Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes were blood-red.
“No, if Yan Xiu really is dead, I won’t block you. However, he’s not dead yet!” Chi Guyan’s body shook. As she looked at Fang Zhengzhi, he could see the sadness in her eyes.
“Not dead yet?” Fang Zhengzhi’s lips quivered. However, quickly, his gaze turned murderous again. He raised his Traceless Sword and said, “He must die, so what’s the difference!”
“As long as Yan Xiu is still alive, there’s hope, right? Like you, everyone thought that you are going to die but Yan Xiu and I still have hope for you, am I right? Yan Xiu is not dead yet, so why have you given up?” Chi Guyan asked.
“Ayy…” When Mu Qingfeng heard this, he sighed heavily and said, “Fang Zhengzhi, if you want to save Yan Xiu, there’s still a bit of hope.”
“What hope?!” Fang Zhengzhi looked fiercely at Mu Qingfeng.
“It’s difficult…. Really difficult! While there’s a bit of hope left, this is nearly impossible for you because, in the entire Holy Region, the only one who can save Yan Xiu is the one known as the top alchemist of the Holy Region. He is also the Hallmaster of the Yin Yang Hall, Dao Hun. However, do you dare to go… to the Yin Yang Hall?” When Mu Qingfeng looked at Fang Zhengzhi, his eyes brimmed with helplessness.
