Nangong Hao had been calm ever since he stepped out of the Icy Monkey Settlement . Even when Yun Qingwu and Bai Xing appeared, he was composed .
However, he began to look increasingly solemn after the Dragon Protection Squad appeared .
γ
No one knew what Nangong Hao was thinking . Perhaps Bai Xing was right . What was left after the trump card was played? Perhaps Nangong Hao was right . . .
γγ
You could guess . . .
"Will the battle at the Icy Monkey Settlement really decide the future between the Southern Region and the Great Xia Dynasty?" Bai Xing pressed .
"You can try and find out . " Nangong Hao looked Bai Xing in the eye, his eyes glowing golden as he lowered Standstill and charged .
"If I were you, I wouldn't care about the fates of these people . " Bai Xing squinted as he smirked, morphing into a ray of silver light .
γγ . . .
γ
This was an incredibly intense battle .
The 50,000 strong Great Xia Dynasty army held their position as they were attacked by more than 100,000 Southern Region soldiers and dozens of demon elites .
However, when the Dragon Protection Squad appeared, the Southern Region soldiers had no choice but to retreat .
This looked like a battle that was evening out .
γγ
However, everyone knew that the battle had only evened out temporarily . After all, this was the Southern Region and not the Great Xia .
If they could not win within the initial moments of the battle, it would be a matter of time before they were worn down .
γγ
The Southern Region had set up an ambush in the Icy Monkey Settlement . Naturally, they had more ambushes set up outside . If the army was bogged down, they were as good as dead .
γ
Xing Qingsui and Wu Feng both knew this .
γ
However . . .
γ
Wu Feng was more concerned about Yan Xiu . Even though Yan Xiu had always been cold, Wu Feng had known Yan Xiu since young .
Losing to Yan Xiu in the theory examination . . .
Had hurt Wu Feng quite significantly .
γ
However, he did not hate Yan Xiu . After all, he had grown up with Yan Xiu . He had always treated Yan Xiu as a brother .
γγ
Even though it was quite weird for the younger brother to surpa.s.s the older one . . .
This did not mean that he wanted to see Yan Xiu consumed by evil Asura . He also did not want to see Yan Xiu killed by the demon .
He gripped his jade flute tightly as he made a decision in his heart .
Other than Wu Feng, Yun Qingwu also focused her attention on Yan Xiu .
"I think he needs help . " Yun Qingwu murmured to herself . However, this was akin to an order to her two deputies .
γγ
"Should I go and help him?" The demon with the green demon eye asked .
"Wu Ji will go . " Yun Qingwu shook her head .
"Me? Master, your safety . . . " The demon with the red demonic eye hesitated when he heard what Yun Qingwu had to say .
"I'll be fine . " Yun Qingwu replied flatly .
"I understand . I will be back soon . " Wu Ji disappeared from his position without a second word .
With the intense battle raging below, a ray of light cras.h.i.+ng down from the cliff would not raise too many eyebrows .
However, when the ray of light shot towards Yan Xiu, Wu Feng felt the immense killing intent almost immediately .
"In your dreams!" Wu Feng bellowed as he shot towards the ray of light like a comet .
γ
Wu Feng was skilled in music .
Close combat was not his forte .
γ
He thrived in ranged combat . However, he did not hesitate to charge forward this time . As he did so, the jade green flute in his hand lit up .
It looked like there was a layer of water covering it . When the light shone on Wu Feng's arm, a strange pattern emerged .
γ
Green cloud patterns began to adorn Wu Feng's arms . They travelled upwards, slowly making their way towards his chest .
γγ
"Oh?" A soft exclamation of surprise could be heard .
Then, the light clashed with the human .
It was no surprise that Wu Feng was thrown back like a broken kite . He spat out mouthfuls of blood, his face pale .
A middle-aged man with a red demonic eye stood at where they had clashed . This was Wu Ji .
γ
Wu Ji's clothes were torn in a few places and his arm was trembling slightly . He looked at the fallen Wu Feng with traces of admiration .
"Don't struggle anymore, it is useless . " Wu Ji looked at Wu Feng, who was struggling to get up .
"If I don't fight, then I'll really be useless!" Wu Feng bit his lip, blood trickling from the corner . It was impossible to determine if this was blood from his lips or blood from his insides .
"With your talent, you would beat me hands down in a decade . " Wu Ji said rea.s.suringly as he looked at the cloud patterns on Wu Feng's hand .
"I know . " Wu Feng replied a.s.sertively .
"Mm, I can give you a chance and pretend that I didn't see you . "
"But I've already seen you . "
"Okay then . . . if that's the case, go to h.e.l.l!" Wu Ji nodded as he swung his sword . A thin ray of light shot out from the tip of the blade .
It looked like an ordinary ray of light .
However, when Wu Feng saw that ray of light, his expression was ashen . He bit his lip and waited for it to hit home .
"Boom!"
γ
Blood splattered everywhere .
Wu Feng's head fell to the ground, the wound in his chest so deep one could see the bone . His eyes were shut, his face ashen . However, his jade flute was still pointed at Yan Xiu . . .
"Wu Feng!"
γ
"Young Master Wu!"
All of the candidates screamed as they looked at Wu Feng sympathetically . They knew that their end was coming as well .
γγ . . .
γ
Yan Xiu still looked rather lifeless .
γγ
He guarded Fang Zhengzhi silently, a red glow swirling in his eyes . One could not guess what he was seeing .
He still gripped the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan tightly, the blood stains making it painful to look at .
"Wu . . . Wu . . . Wu Feng . . . " A tiny voice could be heard coming from Yan Xiu . As he uttered those words, the redness in his eyes began to clear up .
γ
It was now translucent .
γ
It looked like the dust in his eyes was settling . It was still red, but it was now becoming more and more translucent .
"Wu Feng!" All of a sudden, Yan Xiu shouted Wu Feng's name in an explosion of red light .
γγ
The light was blinking previously . Now, it was glowing radiantly .
"What the h.e.l.l?" Wu Ji was confused as he looked at the red light on Yan Xiu's chest . Yan Xiu should have been consumed by evil Asura .
Of course . . .
Yan Xiu was still consumed by evil Asura . The brighter the red light at his chest, the deeper he was .
γ
So, why could Yan Xiu speak?
Wu Ji could not understand .
The middle-aged man engaged in battle with Yan Xiu also could not understand . How could someone escape the grasp of evil Asura?
Both of these vice domain chiefs were extremely confused .
However, their confusion quickly turned into surprise . They saw a figure who had one arm pressed on Yan Xiu's shoulder .
γ
That arm was completely wrapped in purple light .
That purple light originated from the sword in his hand . The entire sword, from hilt to blade, glowed a strange shade of purple .
"Fang . . . Fang Zhengzhi?!" Wu Ji would rarely be shocked by a human . After all, he was a Rebirth State Demon . But now, for some inexplicable reason, he felt extremely uncomfortable .
The middle-aged man who was next to Wu Ji was equally stunned . He looked at Fang Zhengzhi and stepped back .
Even though it was just a small step, it was enough to express what he was thinking .
"Fang Zhengzhi didn't die!"
"This . . . is this still Fang Zhengzhi?"
"What is going on? Why am I . . . why do I feel terrified?!"
All of the candidates noticed the figure standing behind Yan Xiu . He looked familiar but distant at the same time .
γγ
Yun Qingwu's expression changed instantly .
γ
Yun Qingwu recognized the figure behind Yan Xiu . All this while, Yun Qingwu felt that Fang Zhengzhi was someone who she couldn't describe in words .
γ
His aura was intimidating .
γγ
But now . . .
γγ
That aura was gone .
Fang Zhengzhi was like a spirit wrapped up in purple light . The Traceless Sword was now a purple crystal sword .
Even Fang Zhengzhi's arm was enveloped in purple light .
The purple ran in his bloodstream . Even Fang Zhengzhi's eyes were purple .
Yan Xiu's eyes were understandably red because of the Dao of Asura . After all, that was a power that only a Rebirth State cultivator had .
γγ
But . . .
Was Fang Zhengzhi in the Rebirth State?
Of course not . His advantage was in the fact that he had 388 Daos in his pocket dimension . However, at that very moment, only one Dao was flowing through his body .
γ
The Dao of Ma.s.sacre .
γ
His killing intent was clear for all to see .
γγ
The Dao of Asura's iciness originated from the combination between good and evil . Fang Zhengzhi's icy aura originated from his bones .
This was killing intent .
γ
Unsuppressed killing intent .
γγ
"He woke up?" Yun Qingwu was stunned . It was rare that she would be taken by surprise .
The vice domain chief with the green domain eye also squinted as he unsheathed his sword .
γγ . . .
Yan Xiu's body shuddered slightly .
His reaction was small, but a wave of purple that originated from Fang Zhengzhi's hand began to envelop Yan Xiu .
For someone consumed by the evil Asura . . .
This was something that should not have been possible . There was no way someone consumed by evil Asura would allow other energies into his body .
However, Yan Xiu did not react . He stood silently in his spot, his body shuddering .
γ
Then . . .
He closed his eyes and collapsed .
Just as everyone expected, Yan Xiu entered a comatose state . However, none of them expected that Fang Zhengzhi would be the one to put Yan Xiu in that state!
Fang Zhengzhi had no intention of entertaining the looks of confusion . He patted Yan Xiu, then looked at Wu Feng, who was lying in a pool of blood .
Then . . .
γγ
He turned to look at Wu Ji and the middle-aged man beside Wu Ji .
γ
A purple ray of light rose from his feet and began to encircle his body like a dragon .
Even Nangong Hao and Bai Xing paused their battle to witness this .
γγ
Bai Xing was stunned . The smirk was instantly wiped from his face . He felt extremely uncomfortable looking at Fang Zhengzhi .
Nangong Hao was equally surprised . This was different from the surprise he felt when Fang Zhengzhi revealed that he had 388 Daos in his pocket dimension . He was rather confused this time .
γγ
Was this the power of 388 Daos?
γγ
No .
This was one dao, the Dao of Ma.s.sacre!
γ
Why is there such a Dao?!
γγ
The intense battle seemed to pause for a moment . All of a sudden, a ray of purple light shot to the heavens . That was a purple dragon .
"Die!" A bone-chilling voice rang out from the dragon and Fang Zhengzhi disappeared from where he stood .
