Chapter 966: Determinant of Success or Failure, Fusion of Dao
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Zhengzhi chose to strike right away because he could hear from the sounds that the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were getting closer and closer and he was running out of time.
Moreover, like what Yun Qingwu said, he could read Yun Qingwu’s mind and vice versa.
“Trying to fight one against five?” Lin Yu looked at Fang Zhengzhi’s nine swords with a chilling gaze.
G.o.dly State experts had their own pride.
This pride could not be easily humiliated.
If they had lost in the situation of one versus one, it could still be understandable. However, if they lost in the situation of five versus one, there were no excuses for that.
They definitely could not lose!
That was because if they had lost this battle, the pride of the Monster Race and Demon Race would have been completely lost too.
“Qin Xian, get rid of the smoke!” said Lin Yu.
“Smoke? Sure, but I have one condition.” Qin Xian looked around in reluctance but said eventually.
“Speak.”
“I want to kill him with my own hands!”
“Sure, I agree on behalf of Young Lord.” Lin Yu nodded quickly and agreed right away without even asking Yun Qingwu.
That was because he was not sure if Yun Qingwu would agree to this condition.
However, judging from the current situation, he had to make sure that Qin Xian did not do anything funny. Besides that, he had to ensure that Qin Xian would cooperate to the best of his abilities.
“Disappear!” After Lin Yu agreed, Qin Xian’s mouth opened slightly and the white, grey, and black smoke were all swallowed by him.
It was a strange scene.
Moreover, after Qin Xian swallowed the smoke, the pieces of gigantic wild flowers on the floor “revived” again.
It felt as though the smoke became their “tonic”. ( Boxno vel. co m )
“Who on earth is this guy?” The disciples of the Human Alliance started perspiring after witnessing this unbelievable scene.
If not for “Meng Tian” who was standing in front of them, the scene was enough to send chills down their spines.
The ancient G.o.dly State expert was way too terrifying.
Yet now…
“Meng Tian” had to go against five of them at one go?!
“Lin Yu, protect Young Lord, I will attack along with Mu Xing!” One of the G.o.dly State experts standing beside Lin Yu clenched his teeth when the smoke disappeared.
“No, n.o.body shall move, we will only defend and not attack!” Lin Yu shook his head immediately.
“The smoke had already disappeared, why aren’t we attacking?”
“That’s right, the troops will reach if we hold on for a while longer. There is still time if we counterattacked then!” Lin Yu nodded.
“Is this necessary?”
“Yes!”
“What the f*ck!” The other G.o.dly State experts cursed when they heard this.
However, despite their cursing, they understood that this battle was not as simple as it looked because the outcome was determined by whether the Monster Race and Demon Race still had the power to subdue the humankind.
“Defend and not attacking?” Fang Zhengzhi frowned slightly. The purpose of the smoke was to help the Human Alliance find an opportunity to take Yun Qingwu down.
However, if the G.o.dly State experts insist on defending, not only would the smoke be useless, but the situation would be even harder than before.
One versus five!
The only way to seize the opportunity was to seize the opportunities between the gaps of the attacks by the five G.o.dly State experts. However, if all the G.o.dly State experts did not attack, how could he even find an opportunity?
It was too difficult!
Extremely difficult!
The chances were extremely slim for him to defeat all the five G.o.dly State experts at one go within a short period of time while trying his best to not expose his ident.i.ty.
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not have any other choices but to fight. Moreover, he must take Yun Qingwu down before the arrival of the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race.
“Die!” Fang Zhengzhi roared and moved. In the situation that the G.o.dly State experts insisted on defending, he had to initiate the attack.
“Can he win?” The disciples of the Human Alliance looked at Fang Zhengzhi extremely nervously.
“Shameless brat, you have to win!” Ping Yang’s voice was very soft and only she could hear it. That was because she could tell that Fang Zhengzhi did not want to reveal himself yet.
Boom! A loud sound was heard.
Evidently, the battle between Fang Zhengzhi and the five G.o.dly State experts had officially begun.
Nine swords spun in the air like dragons with purple bolts of lightning winding around them. Loud sword sounds were heard too.
The five G.o.dly State Experts, including Qin Xian, had come to a consensus at this point in time. n.o.body initiated an attack and n.o.body retreated.
After witnessing how Li Sha was killed, the five G.o.dly State experts all chose to defend!
It was a terrifying battle.
Intense light radiated from the bodies of the five G.o.dly State experts. The five light screens intertwined and formed a five-layered protective screen.
Apart from that, beams of radiance shone outside the protective screen. Each of the beams had a killing intent and flowed in the sky.
Boom!
Fang Zhengzhi’s sword hit the five-layered protective screen and the violent shocks caused his long sword to break into pieces.
These swords were found from the Ling Yun Tower.
Although they were considered good swords, they were incomparable with the five-layered protective screen of the five G.o.dly State experts and could not break through it.
“Can’t break through? These swords are way too easily-broken…” Fang Zhengzhi frowned. The fact that he could not use weapons made the task even more difficult.
As Fang Zhengzhi was about to attack again, he suddenly felt a chill coming behind his back.
It was as sharp as a knife and extremely chilly.
If he had not opened the Ghost Dao and was able to look into another world, this silent chill would be impossible to be discovered as it blended with the radiance.
Left with no choice, he forcefully turned his body and moved sideways to the right for an inch.
Crack! Just as he moved away, a small crack appeared at the original position he was standing at.
Furthermore, there was a dark-blue colored cold gust of air on the crack.
Lin Yu!
Fang Zhengzhi saw what Lin Yu did earlier on. He had attacked sneakily from the side when Fang Zhengzhi struck with his sword.
Unlike Qin Xian and Mu Xing, Lin Yu’s tactic was neither as weird as Qin Xian nor as impulsive as Mu Xing. However, Lin Yu chose a very accurate time to attack.
As Lin Yu missed Fang Zhengzhi, the other G.o.dly State experts began attacking.
Although they were defending, they used different types of attacks while staying stationary on their spots.
Boom!
Boom!
“…”
Loud booms were heard consecutively beside Fang Zhengzhi and traces of explosive cracks appeared on the floor.
The attack made by a G.o.dly State Expert was definitely not weak.
Furthermore, it was accompanied by various types of strange things. For example, Lin Yu’s tactic was such that after every attack, a dark blue chilly radiance would be formed. This chilly radiance could even be felt from the side, hence one could imagine how damaging it would have been if it landed on someone.
Although Fang Zhengzhi had improved a lot in terms of speed, it was still extremely dangerous for him to succeed in avoiding the consecutive attacks made by the five G.o.dly State experts.
Two pieces of his s.h.i.+ft fell on the floor. One was burnt into ashes and the other was frozen by ice.
He was left with only five long swords as the other four had been broken after he attacked the five-layered protective screen.
“How I wish I had the Traceless Sword with me!” Fang Zhengzhi felt helpless as he looked at the five long swords left.
He had intentionally left the Traceless Sword behind in the Northern Mountain Village to let ‘Qing Yi’ impersonate Jim. Therefore, he did not have the Traceless Sword with him.
Moreover, even if he brought it with him, he could not use it at this juncture because his ident.i.ty would be revealed once he used it.
Could he only use the five Rebirth Dao techniques?
“Fang Zhengzhi? What are you hesitating about? You do not have much time left, didn’t you master four Rebirth Dao techniques? Why aren’t you using them? Unless I am mistaken and Sagely Battle G.o.d Meng Tian really came back to life?” Yun Qingwu’s voice could be heard. She stared at Fang Zhengzhi with a complicated look.
n.o.body knew what was going on in Yun Qingwu’s mind.
Perhaps she was antic.i.p.ating that Meng Tian was Fang Zhengzhi, or perhaps she only wanted to confirm that this was merely a guess.
“Why is Yun Qingwu so certain that Senior Meng Tian is Fanf Zhengzhi?”
“I don’t know, but I don’t believe it, how could he possibly be Fang Zhengzhi?”
“Exactly, based on my knowledge, Fang Zhengzhi had remained in the Northern Mountain Village all these while, how could he possibly come to the Holy Region?”
“Moreover, there is a stark difference between the powers of Fang Zhengzhi and Senior Meng Tian, even a genius can’t possibly become so powerful in such a short period of time!”
“However, it seems like Senior Meng Tian is unable to break through the defense of the five G.o.dly State experts?”
“Sigh… Five G.o.dly State experts, I think even Senior Meng Tian can’t do it, after all, no matter how powerful Senior Meng Tian is, the resources used to train can’t be compared to the ancient times…”
The disciples watched Fang Zhengzhi in antic.i.p.ation and helplessness.
It was extremely demanding for one to defend against five G.o.dly State experts at the same time.
Moreover, the five G.o.dly State experts had chosen to defend together and prolonged the battle intentionally. This made it impossible for Fang Zhengzhi to break through their defense.
“Time, we are running out of time…” Mo Shans.h.i.+ was held onto by a few disciples but he still looked extremely worried.
Rumble! The sound of footsteps from afar got closer and closer, such that one could hear the beastly roars and ear-deafening shouts clearly.
It was too close.
It was predicted that the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race would reach in less than 10 minutes.
What should they do?
Ping Yang was equally worried but she did not do anything rash this time because she knew that the intensity of the battle was not for her.
Once she got involved, not only was she unable to help, but Fang Zhengzhi might also be distracted by her.
She was anxious but all she could do was to widen her eyes.
The swords in Fang Zhengzhi’s hands were held tightly. How was he willing to accept the fact that he could not use the five Rebirth Dao techniques which had been painstakingly fused with 2000 over types of Daos?
“The last attack, I will try it for the last time!” Fang Zhengzhi knew that he did not have much time. If he chose to continue prolonging the battle, he would lose his final chance.
He must succeed!
Swoos.h.!.+ Fang Zhengzhi vanished.
“Left?”
“Right?”
“Front?”
“Back?”
“No, at the top!” The five G.o.dly State experts began sweeping their surroundings when Fang Zhengzhi vanished.
At this moment, a beam of silver light fell from the sky.
It was a long sword.
“Trying to break through from the top, dream on!” Lin Yu narrowed his eyes and struck the long sword.
A dark blue radiance was infused in the gigantic airwave. Like a long blue river that was connected to the sky, the surrounding air froze because of the coldness.
Sizzle! The frozen air made sounds.
Meanwhile, the long sword had hit the blue long river and bright line shone. The purple bolts of lightning around the silvery-white long sword disappeared and was surrounded by a dim layer of starlight.
Boom! A loud sound was heard the moment the long sword struck the blue long river. However, instead of breaking apart, it began to spin extremely quickly.
Crack!
Crack!
“…”
Many cracks were formed on the blue long river and it seemed that it could not withstand the attack.
“Meng Tian is indeed very powerful!” A G.o.dly State expert standing beside Lin Yu said as he shot out a beam of red light from his hand.
It was a long sword that was as red as blood.
Boom! Fang Zhengzhi’s long sword was broken into two by the G.o.dly State expert’s long sword. The blade of Fang Zhengzhi’s turning sword broke apart into pieces.
However, this was not the end.
At the instance Fang Zhengzhi’s long sword was sent flying, a second long sword had struck down from the sky at an alarming speed, as though it was touching the hilt of the first sword.
Boom! The G.o.dly State expert’s long sword was sent flying while the second long sword landed into the blue long river and turned the river into pieces.
“There’s more?!”
“Chaining the two swords together?”
“No, it’s five!”
The other G.o.dly State experts soon regained their senses and without hesitation, beams of light struck Fang Zhengzhi’s second long sword.
Boom!
His second long sword was sent flying, then the third.
Boom!
The long sword finally landed on the five-layered protective screen. Sparks were seen on the tip of the sword and the spinning tip made sharp whistles as it rubbed against the protective screen.
“You won’t be able to break through, Meng Tian!” Ping Yu roared furiously.
