Yan Xiu's expression changed slightly.

He was at the Gold position of the Five elements. Amongst the five elements, Gold was the main attacker. In this position, his Dao of Asura was able to demonstrate the greatest power.

However, his defense ability did not increase too much.

Upon seeing Chi You charging towards him, the only thing he could do was to defend.

“Buzz!” Beams of radiance shot out from his body and formed twelve thin crystal-like s.h.i.+elds in front of him.

Meanwhile, Chi You hit the first s.h.i.+eld at an extremely fast speed.

“Bam!” Yan Xiu's s.h.i.+eld was unable to stop Chi You's powerful attack and cracked immediately upon the collision.

Of course, Fang Zhengzhi and the rest regained their senses at this point in time.

“Yan Xiu!”

“Oh no, Chi You changed his target to Yan Xiu.”

“Attacking from the back…”

“…”

Fang Zhengzhi, Chi Guyan, Ping Yang and Nangong Mu attacked almost at the same time.

They a.s.sisted from four positions.

This was the idea behind coexistence and mutual destruction. They could help each other and attack together. Similarly, they could attack and defend.

Yun Qingwu did not choose to solely defend.

That was because she could not defend.

Chi You was like a gigantic beast trapped in the cage. Be it Fang Zhengzhi or Yan Xiu, n.o.body could defend against him for a long time.

Chi You chose to attack Yan Xiu.

In fact, it was equivalent to attacking the weakest point in the Five Element Formation.

At this moment, Yun Qingwu did not have too many choices. She would die if she solely defended. If she solely attacked, she would also end up dying.

After all, she had yet to find a way to kill Chi You.

She could only drag on!

Moreover, she had to find his weakness during the process.

It was difficult!

Extremely difficult.

However, Yun Qingwu had no choice but to do it. Therefore, her only thought was for Yun Qingwu to last on as much as possible.

Bam!

Bam!

“…”

A series of sounds were heard.

As Fang Zhengzhi and the rest attacked Chi You, Chi You completely neglected the attacking tactics and charged forward towards the s.h.i.+eld in front of Yan Xiu.

Almost instantly, seven of the twelve s.h.i.+elds broke.

It happened too quickly!

Chi You no longer had the intention to fight with Fang Zhengzhi and the rest. He attacked with all his might. Not only was he fast as though he was teleporting, but every punch he through had the force of a mountain.

He threw a punch.

The thunder rumbled, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked.

His huge body was growling and he charged crazily towards Yan Xiu.

Bam!

Bam!

“…”

Even though Fang Zhengzhi and the rest attacked with full force, Chi You tore open the s.h.i.+elds which were blocking him.

Seeing how there was one last s.h.i.+eld left…

A softer roar was heard again.

“s.h.i.+fting forms of the Five Elements!”

Eye-catching radiance flowed in the Five Elements Formation. Instantly, Yan Xiu appeared at another position.

“Changed again?!”

“She can deduce the Five element formation again in such a short time. Yun Qingwu… is indeed terrifying!”

“She is indeed good at this!”

The G.o.dly Beasts and demons praised in awe.

Meanwhile, Chi You's gaze froze and looked at Yan Xiu who was far away. His expression did not change and he looked as though he had predicted it long ago.

If he attacked Yun Qingwu, he would be stopped by everyone in the Five Elements Formation.

If he attacked Yan Xiu, he would only be stopped by four people.

Chi You was very sure that it was impossible to kill Yan Xiu in one shot. However, Yun Qingwu's deduction and the changing of position of the five elements had limitations.

The limitation was none other than time.

To re-deduce the five element formation and changing positions, it reqquired time.

“Very well, but what about now?” Chi You sneered and pounced towards Yan Xiu again.

Yan Xiu's expression turned pale.

Of course, he still clenched his teeth and produced twelve s.h.i.+elds in front of him again. He was trying his best to delay the attack of Chi You.

That time was used for Yun Qingwu to do another deduction.

“Buzz!” The twelve s.h.i.+elds appeared again.

However, this time, Chi You's attack was way more ferocious and faster than earlier on. It felt as though he had not used any energy earlier on.

Bam!

Bam!

“…”

It was faster than his attack earlier on.

Chi You's fist had hit the s.h.i.+elds again and shattered them. Instantly, he reached where Yan Xiu was and there were no longer any obstructions in front of Yan Xiu.

“Go and die!” Chi You attacked immediately.

Meanwhile, another voice was heard.

“s.h.i.+fting forms of the Five Elements!”

Buzz!

Yan Xiu's body teleported and avoided Chi You's punch before reappearing at another spot further away with some minor injuries in front of his chest.

Blood flowed out from his injury.

“Yan Xiu, are you alright?” Fang Zhengzhi was extremely nervous.

“Yun Qingwu, shall we change our positions? Perhaps it would be better if Yan Xiu goes to Sister Yan's position instead?” Ping Yang was also anxious.

“…” Yun Qingwu kept silent.

That was because she was sweating profusely and her palms which were controlling the radiance in the Five Elements Formation were shaking.'

Deduction was extremely exhausting.

She had to focus and did not dare to get distracted at all.

As Fang Zhengzhi saw this, he shook his head slightly. “Ping Yang, it is too late for you to change positions now. Moreover, the effect of switching Yan Xiu to the water position is not big.”

“Hmm, Ping Yang, focus on the battle.” Chi Guyan nodded too.

Yun Qingwu had to focus on the s.h.i.+fting forms of the Five Elements and was extremely stressed. She could not afford to get distracted at all.

“You guys will be in charge of attacking while Yan Xiu and I will defend together.” Nangong Mu clenched his fists. He was indeed better than Yan Xiu in terms of defense.

“Alright.” Ping Yang nodded immediately.

“Attack!”

As Nangong Mu joined the defense, the battle was delayed.

After seven rounds of s.h.i.+fting forms of the Five Elements, Yan Xiu's energy was almost depleted and he was extremely pale. He was so exhausted that he could barely stand.

Apart from him, Nangong Mu was also drenched in perspiration.

Chi You was too powerful.

Nangong Mu and Yan Xiu alone were unable to defend against Chi You.

“Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu can't last much longer. Why not I join the defense and Sister Yan and shameless brat can attack Chi You,” said Ping Yang.

“I don't think we can last much longer…”Chi Guyan did not object nor agree.

That was because she had already noticed Yun Qingwu perspiring like crazy and the nine red tails behind her darkened.

She could not last much longer!

Apart from Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu, Yun Qingwu could not last much longer too.

“Is there no other ways? Are we going to die here?” Chi Guyan was indignant but there was really no other ways.

She had already dragged on for an hour.

Everyone was exhausted and Chi Guyan also felt tired.

The only people who were still energised were Chi You and Fang Zhengzhi.

“Brat, are you not tired at all?” Chi You turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi who was still chasing him wildly and looked slightly shocked.

After thousands of years of acc.u.mulation, the reiki in Chi You's body was so immense that it could not be used finish.

However, he did not expect…

That there would be another monster in the world that was similar to him. He had limitless energy and was still fully energised after nearly an hour of fight.

“Even if you die from exhaustion, I won't die from exhaustion,” replied Fang Zhengzhi.

“Hahaha… This is interesting. If there are five Fang Zhengzhi in the world, I can't guarantee that I will win. However, unfortunately, not everyone is called Fang Zhengzhi.” After saying that, Chi You attacked Yan Xiu ferociously.

Bam!

The s.h.i.+elds broke.

Yan Xiu's lips turned purple and he could not move at all. The depletion caused him to breathe extremely heavily.

He could only hear his heavy breathing sound.

“Huff…”

“…”

At this moment, he was pulled by a force and instantly appeared at another location that was ten feet away from Chi You.

“Huff…” Yan Xiu breathed heavily.

He wanted to raise his hand and remake twelve s.h.i.+elds in front of him. However, he could not raise his hand at all as it felt as though there was a mountain pressing on it.

“Yan Xiu, are you alright?” Seeing this, Nangong Mu stood as the Tree of G.o.d in front of Yan Xiu and blocked him from Chi You.

“I… I am alright… I still… can last…” Yan Xiu bit his lips and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Then, he raised his hand again.

Buzz!

The twelve s.h.i.+elds appeared one after another.

However, at the same time, Yan Xiu's face turned red and blood spurted out from his mouth. His legs turned jelly and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Chi You's expression turned extremely cold.

“Are you at your limits? Very good!”

Boom!

Chi You suddenly sped up and was more terrifying than before. Six of his gigantic arms flew out wildly and broke the Tree of G.o.d in front of him.

“Oh no, Yan Xiu, watch out!” Fang Zhengzhi's expression changed instantly. He could already tell that Yan Xiu was exhausted.

He was able to last until now because of his strong will.

However, no matter how strong one's will was, there would be a limit. When he was exhausted, he could no longer sustain with this determination.

“Go and die!” Chi You roared loudly and charged forward. He did not waste time using his fist to break the s.h.i.+eld at all.

He barged forward straightaway.

The two gigantic bull horns glowed with radiance.

Bam!

Bam!

“…”

A series of breaking sounds could be heard.

The twelve s.h.i.+elds did not even last for a second and were forcefully broken by Chi You. The two sharp bull horns were aimed at Yan Xiu's heart.

Yun Qingwu shook.

She wanted to save Yan Xiu.

However, Yan Xiu gave her too little time and she could not deduce the new positions of the five elements in such a short time.

“Spat!” She spat out a mouthful of blood. She was exhausted and the nine beams of radiance behind her completely disappeared.

At this moment, apart from Yan Xiu, Yun Qingwu had also reached her limits.

That was because she was facing more stress than everyone else.

“Oh no!!!” Fang Zhengzhi moved immediately when he saw Yun Qingwu collapse. He turned into a beam of azure blue radiance and wanted to block Chi You.

However, Chi You was too fast.

Moreover, Chi You had calculated the time needed to reach where Yan Xiu was.

He did not give Fang Zhengzhi any chance at all.

Yan Xiu's face turned purple and his lips trembled. He wanted to dodge but he had no energy to even speak at all.

“No! Yan Xiu, dodge now!” Fang Zhengzhi yelled.

“…” Yan Xiu stood stiffly on the spot and looked at Fang Zhengzhi helplessly as many thoughts flashed across his mind.

‘Dodge?'

‘I am too tired…'

‘Really too tired.'

“Zhengzhi, thank you for the most valuable friends.h.i.+p in my life.'

‘I want to carry on fighting with you but I can't do it anymore. I can leave, I only hope that you can continue… continue to fight…'

Yan Xiu's eyes gradually closed.

Scenes flashed across his mind.

He remembered the scene when he first met Fang Zhengzhi. His first impression of Fang Zhengzhi was strange and rebellious.

He craved for the rebellion…

Unknowingly, he started talking to Fang Zhengzhi.

“Let's be friends, okay?”

“Of course, we are already friends…”

“Friends have to trust each other.”

“I trust you.”

“Hmm, me too.”

“I can betray anyone in the world except for one…”

“…”

‘I am really leaving this world?'

‘Zhengzhi, I don't bear to leave.'

Yan Xiu stopped defending and relaxed completely. He did not have any energy to say goodbye to his friend.

“Boom!” A loud boom was heard.

After that, he felt as though he was pulled by a powerful force and howling sounds of the wind could be heard. The wind felt chilly and b.l.o.o.d.y.

He used the remaining energy to open his eyes.

The b.l.o.o.d.y sun was still hanging in the sky.

It was very red and eerie.

However, he did not seem to die. He was floating in midair with boiling blood on his face. The blood fell from the air, they were very, very hot…

‘Why?'

‘Why am I not dead?'

‘Zhengzhi? Where is he?'

“Wa…” A voice was heard at the position Yan Xiu was at previously. There was a slim and gigantic figure at that spot.

However, that figure was beinig penetrated by a sharp bull horn.

Blood splattered across the air.

“s.h.i.+ft… s.h.i.+fting Forms?!” Yan Xiu's eyes widened and blood flowed from his mouth, nose and ears. “No!!!”
