The light breeze blew, and the raging sun was s.h.i.+ning.

Fang Zhengzhi glanced at Sima Feng who was standing 20 feet ahead of him. He grinned, and flashed a gentle smile. He was impressed by Sima Feng"s daring guesses and elaborate thoughts.

However, Sima Feng had miscalculated one thing.

And that would be...

That two months that had pa.s.sed since the battle in the Flame Capital City.

Many things could have happened within that period. He could have simply attained the Rebirth State, or opened the Rebirth Plate.

"Middle term of the Rebirth State?" Fang Zhengzhi asked, not paying attention to the positions of the three disciples. After all, he had not been putting them in his eyes.

"Fang Zhengzhi, show whatever skills you have!" Sima Feng held onto his dagger tightly as he looked at Fang Zhengzhi who was standing at the same spot.

"Are you ready?" Fang Zhengzhi smiled gently.

"Of course!" Sima Feng said confidently.

"Alright, then here I come." Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head. Then he placed his hands behind his back, as he walked slowly towards Sima Feng.

There weren"t any bright rays of lights, or big earth-shaking movements. He was merely brisk walking, very slowly but casually.

"Eh?"

"What is going on?"

"Is he not going to fight?"

The contestants who were waiting for a big fight to happen, were completely not used to the current situation. Fang Zhengzhi did not seem like he was going to start a big battle.

It almost seemed like he was...

Admiring the scenery.

That"s right, he was gazing at the leisurely view.

Sima Feng tightened his grip again, as it was obvious that he was neglected. Moreover, it was in the situation when he had put in all his effort, yet he was still looked down with disdain.

He was dumbfounded, and naturally anger started to build up inside him.

Dare to look down on an a.s.sa.s.sin?

That was practically an insult in his face.

Because an a.s.sa.s.sin"s expertise was his momentarily explosive power. On this aspect, Sima Feng was very confident of his power.

A gush of adrenaline rushed in his heart.

Place both of his hands behind his back?

If he was within 10 steps, was he able to deal one fatal blow?

Or 5 steps!

5 steps was definitely fine!

Sima Feng was filled with such a strong gush of feelings in his head. Subconsciously he had clenched his grip on the dagger a little too tightly, and his hand began turning pale.

At the same time, Fang Zhengzhi paid no attention to his anger. He continued closing up the gap between him and Sima Feng, his hands remained at the back.

15 steps, 10 steps...

Fang Zhengzhi continued to pace his steps as the distance between them became closer.

Sima Feng had a cold look in his eyes.

The thick black rays of light covered the whole atmosphere, engulfing the 5 steps distance between them. He was able to clearly perceive any changes in the area, such as the heartbeat and the murderous opportunity.....

That was the art of hunting!

"Sima Feng!" A voice bellowed, it wasn"t too loud, but it pierced right into his heart and rang beside his ears.

That made his heart tremble and he temporarily desisted his thought of charging forward.

Because, he knew that the sound was coming from Qian Wu, and Qian Wu was reminding him not to act rashly. Beads of sweat broke down from his forehead.

"Did he just purposely reveal his flaw?" Sima Feng stared at Fang Zhengzhi walking towards him, as his feet felt cold.

But he recovered very quickly.

He managed to suppress the thought in his head, and fixed his eyes tightly on the nearing Fang Zhengzhi.

8 steps, 7 steps….. 6 steps…..

He was still walking?!

5 steps!

Finally, Fang Zhengzhi paused, he stopped 5 steps away from Sima Feng. Both his hands were still behind his back, as he scanned around in the black thick rays of light around him.

Silence, dead silence.

Everyone fixed their eyes on Fang Zhengzhi and Sima Feng. None of them opened their mouths, and they even tried to minimise the sound of their breaths.

"If I didn"t guess wrongly, 5 steps distance is the best time for you to attack right?" Fang Zhengzhi stared at Sima Feng, it almost sounded like he was mocking on him.

Sima Feng did not reply, and he continued to hold his dagger very tightly. He was focusing very intently.

"Looks like you are really planning to defend till the end?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Sima Feng as he smiled brightly.

"Stop saying..." Before he could even finish his sentence, Si Ma Feng"s eyes opened wide in disbelief. Because Fang Zhengzhi had already started moving.

That was so fast!

In just a moment, Sima Feng felt as though he had lost sight of Fang Zhengzhi, even when he had used all his energy to stay focused.

Why was he so fast?

How could that happen so quickly?

Wasn"t he still in the Supernatural State?!

Sima Feng attempted to ask, but it was too late. Because Fang Zhengzhi had already appeared in front of him. It seemed like he had teleported from 5 steps away to right in front of him instantly.

Sima Feng subconsciously made his move, as he struck his dagger towards the middle of Fang Zhengzhi"s heart.

At the same time, a ray of light formed in the dark atmosphere, covering the whole body,

In such a situation where he could no longer monitor Fang Zhengzhi"s actions, his only method would be to strike into his heart, so as to defend himself.

However...

It was all too late.

As Fang Zhengzhi"s fist had already landed on his chest.

"KACHA!"

That was the first cracking sound in the ray of light, then Sima Feng felt a gush of strength rus.h.i.+ng into his chest.

"Boom!" A loud voice rang beside his ears.

Sima Feng"s eyes were wide open, as he stared motionlessly at the fist punching into his chest. He couldn"t believe, or rather he refused to believe the whole situation.

The energy emitting from the fist caused him to feel even more flabbergasted.

It was like there was something breaking in his heart.

His energy was losing rapidly, and it seemed like it was disappearing forever. Just like the river, never ending.

How was that even possible?

How could he be so fast?!

Sima Feng still couldn"t figure out the logic behind all these.

Not only were his actions swift, they were heavy too!

If "Kong Qing" or "Fang Zhengzhi" was using special abilities, such as trapping him or wrapping him around.

He was willing to admit defeat.

However the current situation….

Was that there weren"t any special moves at all. They were swift and huge, striking him at his most comfortable distance of 5 feet away.

That was a domination!

A total domination!

He had failed.....

To even defend a single move from him.

This guy, was he really Fang Zhengzhi? Or was it just a mistake since the start? There was no Fang Zhengzhi at all, it was just Kong Qing, the Kong Qing from the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

"Cras.h.!.+" Sima Feng"s legs gave way, as he came kneeling on the ground. His eyes were filled with resentment, as he still felt that his a.s.sumptions were right.

Nonetheless, why would the ending be like this?

"My apologies, I was a bit hard on you, I didn"t expect you to be this weak..." Fang Zhengzhi withdrew his fist after looking at Sima Feng cras.h.i.+ng onto the ground.

Silence, dead silence.

The contestants, including Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu, as well as Qian Wu and the young man staring at Yan Xiu, were focusing on Fang Zhengzhi.

That happened too quickly!

It was just in a blink of an eye.

They were expecting the battle to have quite a few movements, since it was a confrontation between the Rebirth State. However, the battle in front of them was just too "calm".

So calm that it was unable to locate any signs of the battle trails.

Too dominating!

Really too dominating!

It was supposed to be a battle to compete with each other"s strength and speed. Through this whole process, Sima Feng could neither attack nor defend himself.

"That was so strong!"

"Is that the true power coming from a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion?"

"They were from the same state, even if one is at the peak of the Rebirth State, while the other in the middle. But the difference between them was just too huge."

The contestants all looked at each other as they still had yet to recover from the shock. They were unable to accept the situation before them.

Just merely a strike?!

One strike!

While "Kong Qing" had previously showcased his "state" and impressed them, the strength exerted by the current "Kong Qing" would erase all traces of doubt in their hearts.

Fang Zhengzhi?

How could such a strong person possibly be Fang Zhengzhi!

It was impossible for one from the Supernatural State to defeat someone in just one blow. Moreover it was just using pure pressure skills.

n.o.body else would question "Kong Qing"s" ident.i.ty.

Even Qian Wu opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He was staring at the kneeling Sima Feng, before turning to "Kong Qing" who was standing before Sima Feng. His face looked very dull and worried.

"What"s wrong with Sima Feng? Didn"t he say that he was 90% confident?" Qian Wu"s expression did not seem that great. If it wasn"t for Sima Feng, he could have chosen another better method to solve his problem of being eliminated.

But due to Sima Feng"s "a.s.sumptions", he was now caught in a difficult position.

Moreover this may probably result in creating an "enemy" for him in the Heaven Dao Pavilion in the future. That was just the situation that he refused to witness.

"Senior Kong Qing!" The three disciples flew in front of Fang Zhengzhi and said respectfully.

"Yes." Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head as he gave Sima Feng a look. "You wouldn"t blame me for defeating you because of my carelessness at that moment?"

"You…...waa!" Sima Feng"s face turned pale at once, as his body rocked tremendously. Then he sputtered a pool of blood from his mouth.

"Boom!"

Everything in Sima Feng"s vision turned black as he fell on the ground.

"Serves you right!"

"Senior Kong Qing, don"t you worry. We witnessed everything, you did not use your power to bully the weaker ones. It was purely just because Sima Feng was too weak!"

"That"s right, we can all testify for you, Senior Kong Qing!"

The contestants looked at the situation and they flew to the side of Fang Zhengzhi, as they were willing to testify for Fang Zhengzhi. Some even tried to spit on Sima Feng who had already fainted on the ground.

"I see…...Actually, I feel guilty for this. After all, he was from the Rebirth State, and just like this, he turned into a disabled person. Sigh..."Fang Zhengzhi said remorsefully.

"Please don"t say that Senior Kong Qing. Everyone will try their best to fight in a battle. There is no such thing as not getting hurt in a battle. It was Sima Feng who overestimated his strength, he was the one who initiate this challenge with senior Kong Qing!"

"Yes, and he even tried to malign you. He is so detestable!"

"For this kind of person, senior Kong Qing shouldn"t even feel sorry for him. I wouldn"t have spare his life if it was me!"

"Senior Kong Qing still tried to spare his life. You are just too kind, I should learn that from you!"

After seeing Fang Zhengzhi"s remorseful look, a few contestants felt even more respectful towards him.

At this moment, two loud howling sounds reverberated throughout the sky.

Then, two small black dots began appearing from the horizon.

It became bigger slowly.

There were two humongous beasts flying down from the sky. They had a pair of huge wings, covering the piercing sun.

These huge movements had drawn the attention of the contestants, as they raised their heads.

The three disciples also saw the beasts and the two white robe figures on the beasts.

"It"s Third Elder and Fifth Elder!"

"Could it be because of the delay from the first segment?"

"This..."

The three disciples had traces of worry and fear when they had seen who the two figures behind the beasts were.

Fang Zhengzhi was also looking up at the elderly men, both of whom had almost the same dressings and were of similar age.

Fine...

They didn"t look like anyone spectacular.

Seemed like he was going to lose his power of being the senior here.

Third Elder and Fifth Elder?

Both of them....

Which was the Third and Fifth elder respectively?

As Fang Zhengzhi was thinking about it, the two figures leapt from the beasts. The white robes danced lightly in the air, and just like cotton wool, they landed softly on the ground.

Saint State!

Fang Zhengzhi was able to figure out the two elderly"s power and strength in just one glance. The s.p.a.ce around them did not move at all when they landed on the ground.

Although their actions were really slow.

But that felt like they had blended everything together.

"Greetings to you, Third Elder, and Fifth Elder!" The three disciples greeted them politely after they have landed.

"Right." The Third and Fifth Elder nodded their heads gently, as they began looking at Sima Feng lying on the floor in front of Fang Zhengzhi.
