There was nothing wrong with "Meng Tian" killing Dao Hun if it was because Dao Hun had sprung a sneak attack at "Meng Tian".

However, Dao Xin never attacked "Meng Tian".

Even if Dao Xin wanted to save Dao Hun earlier on, it was understandable and there was no reason to kill her.

Mo Shans.h.i.+ did not understand why "Meng Tian" insisted on killing Dao Xin.

Besides him, Mu Qingfeng and the disciples of the Human Alliance also could not understand as the urgent matter now was to stop the troops the Monster Race and Demon Race.

"Senior Meng Tian, shouldn't we…" Just as Mo Shans.h.i.+ was about to speak, he saw Fang Zhengzhi walking towards Dao Xin.

Step by step.

Fang Zhengzhi did not walk too quickly but was extremely steady. He was carrying Yun Qingwu with one hand and Ping Yang followed after him silently.

Ping Yang knew the reason.

She was not surprised that Fang Zhengzhi wanted to kill Dao Xin because she also wanted Dao Xin to die.

Perhaps it was a sort of telepathy.

If you are angry, I will be angry too. If you hate someone, I will hate someone to. If you love something, I love that thing too. Till our deaths, we will stay together.

Yan Xiu tightened his grip on the Silver Blood Fan in his hand.

He did not move and had the same determination in his gaze and expression.

Yan Xiu did not make any more comments or plead for mercy. This was Yan Xiu's character. He would not change his mind once he made up his mind.

Fang Zhengzhi stopped five feet away from Yan Xiu.

The disciples of the Human Alliance and Mu Qingfeng held their breath as they watched nervously.

Was he really going to kill Dao Xin?

What was it for?

"You can't kill me." At this moment, Dao Xin finally spoke. She stepped towards the side and showed a part of her body.

"Reason." Fang Zhengzhi was extremely straightforward.

"You haven't finished asking your question." Dao Xin waved her hand at Yan Xiu and stopped Yan Xiu from blocking her.

"Hmm, this reason can indeed help you live a little longer. So, what is the answer to my question?" Fang Zhengzhi nodded slightly after taking a glance at Yan Xiu.

He wanted to kill Dao Xin but if she was willing to answer his question about Yan Xiu, he would not mind letting her live for a while longer.

"There's no answer to your question." Dao Xin shook her head.

"Haha…" Fang Zhengzhi laughed as he raised his sword and pointed it at Dao Xin's throat. A light silver radiance flowed on the sword.

"However, there is an answer that I think you will be interested in." Dao Xin was not worried at all despite Fang Zhengzhi's actions.

"Tell me about it?"

"It's regarding how the Yin Yang Hall revives Yan Xiu," said Dao Xin.

"It's merely about exchanging a life for a life." Fang Zhengzhi did not understand why Dao Xin talked about this at this point in time as he thought there was nothing much about it.

"Senior, the number of things that you know have exceeded my expectations. However, you said something incorrectly regarding Yan Xiu, the Yin Yang Hall did not only exchange a life for a life."

"What do you mean?"

"Have you heard of the co-existence of the Yin and Yang?"

"Co-existence of Yin and Yang?" Fang Zhengzhi was slightly shocked and looked extremely cold because he suddenly had an undesirable answer.

"The life in the Yang has ended when someone ends up in the Asura h.e.l.l. Despite how powerful one's medical skills were, one would not be able to save the other person. There is only one way to prolong his life."

"By using one's own life?"

"Yes."

"Do you think I will believe you?"

"It's up to you, Senior, to believe me. This is everything I can say. If you insist on killing me, please go ahead." Dao Xin closed her eyes as she said.

Fang Zhengzhi tightened his grip on his sword.

He did not believe Dao Xin because his understanding of the Dao of Yin Yang was no lesser than Dao Hun and Dao Xin. Yin and Yang referred to the two states that could go in a cycle and contribute to each other.

However, they were still two different states and was impossible to combine into one.

Since it was impossible for them to combine into one state, how could Yin and Yang possibly coexist?

It was like water and fire which represented two extremes that against each other. Although in specific situations, the two of them could be used together, could they possibly combine completely and fuse into one?

No way!

They could only share similarities.

However, sharing similarities did not mean they were identical.

The cla.s.sic example would be life and death. For a human, there was only the difference between life and death, he either lives or dies and could not possibly be in both states.

"Dao Xin is lying!" Fang Zhengzhi figured it out very quickly and realized that it was impossible for the co-existence of Yan Xiu and Dao Xin.

Moreover, Dao Hun's appearance was the most important factor.

It was almost impossible to say that a woman who looked almost identical to Dao Xin had no relation to Dao Xin.

Therefore, even if Dao Xin was willing to give up her life, Dao Hun would definitely not allow it.

After all, when Fang Zhengzhi brought Yan Xiu to the Yin Yang Hall, Yan Xiu was already unconscious and the two of them did not have many interactions.

Moreover, Fang Zhengzhi had already been caught at that time.

To Dao Hun and Dao Xin, after Fang Zhengzhi was brought into the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, he should have definitely died. Therefore, the speculation that the two of them connected their lives because they were afraid that Fang Zhengzhi would take revenge could not have been true.

It was impossible.

Furthermore, there was no reason for it to happen.

There was only one possibility for Dao Xin to say this. Dao Xin had seen the concern Fang Zhengzhi showed to Yan Xiu and made up a lie on the spot.

What a detestable woman.

If Fang Zhengzhi did not understand the Dao of Yin and Yang enough and was familiar with how the incident unfolded, he would not have spotted the loophole in the lie.

"Dao Xin, what you said made sense but unfortunately, I don't believe you," replied Fang Zhengzhi.

"Senior, if you don't believe me, why don't you attack…" Dao Xin opened her eyes slightly.

She looked extremely calm.

However, after she opened her eyes, she was no longer as calm as before because a sword was being stabbed towards her throat.

Fang Zhengzhi had attacked.

When Dao Xin knew that she was about to succeed, Fang Zhengzhi attacked and did not give Dao Xin any chance to explain herself.

How was that possible?

Dao Xin did not understand what loophole there was in her words unless "Meng Tian" had a better understanding of the Dao of Yin and Yang than her.

However, that was even more impossible.

Who would have a better understanding of the Dao of Yin Yang than the Yin Yang Hall?

Dao Xin did not believe it. She felt that "Meng Tian" would definitely hold back but his sword had already reached her.

"Leave!" Yan Xiu's voice was heard. Then, the b.l.o.o.d.y Landscape Ill.u.s.tration descended from the sky, shrouding him and Fang Zhengzhi together completely.

"There's blood in the river!"

"But this blood is not real blood!"

"It's tears, the tears of heroes!"

Yan Xiu's voice was heard and countless blood radiance surged towards Fang Zhengzhi like long rivers that flowed continuously.

"Black hair dyed white, I wait silently and wholeheartedly for you to paint," said Fang Zhengzhi as he looked at the blood radiance that surged towards him.

"You?!" Yan Xiu was shocked.

That was because Fang Zhengzhi was referring to the soul of the b.l.o.o.d.y Landscape Ill.u.s.tration. Any tactic had a soul and this poem was referring to the soul of the Mountain River.

As Fang Zhengzhi spoke, the blood radiance that was surging towards him stopped moving and they looked like tears that were unable to land.

3000 strands of hair that signified a troubled mind.

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to end everything with a strike of his sword but was unable to do so.

It troubled him and made him sad as he looked at Yan Xiu.

He did not want to hurt Yan Xiu.

However, Yan Xiu would definitely be injured by him as he was about to kill someone whom Yan Xiu was protecting.

Buzz! A beam of white radiance shot up to the sky and broke the blood radiance into spots of silvery light that descended from the sky.

It was like rain.

Like the rain in the spring.

Such a rain would not happen in the winter season, but these silver spots of light landed on Yan Xiu like rain and tears.

Yan Xiu's expression suddenly changed.

His cold expression seemed to be overwritten with a hint of sadness. He looked as if he was hurt by the broken spots of light and also looked like the painting of the b.l.o.o.d.y Landscape.

"Yan Xiu, it's time to wake up!" A sound that came from the soul was heard. A silvery-white radiance penetrated Yan Xiu's body and landed on the ground, was.h.i.+ng away the black under Yan Xiu's feet and showed a color of bright red instead.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

At this moment, two voices were heard almost at the same time.

Yan Xiu hugged his head with his hands and looked as if he was in extreme pain. Meanwhile, Dao Xin, who was beside him, looked saddened and in pain too.

Sweat dripped from Yan Xiu and Dao Xin's foreheads.

They dripped on the ground along with the silver radiance, onto the black abyss that was gradually turning red before being swallowed by the abyss.

"The co-existence of Yin and Yang?!"

"It really is the co-existence of Yin and Yang, hurting Yan Xiu was equivalent to hurting Dao Xin!"

"Senior Meng Tian, no!"

Mu Qingfeng and the disciples of the Human Alliance shouted anxiously when they saw this strange scene.

Besides them, Ping Yang, Yan Qianli, the Heavenly Oasis Saint and Wu Yuer also looked extremely anxious.

They also knew how important Yan Xiu was for Fang Zhengzhi.

Although they also did not believe that Yan Xiu and Dao Xin were co-existing with the Yin and Yang, the strange scene ahead of them forced them to believe it.

Even though the possibility was 1 in 10,000.

"You… you are not Meng Tian!" At this moment, Dao Xin's eyes opened wide and her gaze which was initially calm became extremely shocked.

She did not believe her speculation.

However, she had to believe it because when the silver "rain" fell and when Fang Zhengzhi said the poem "Black hair dyed white, I wait silently and wholeheartedly for you to paint", she was forced to believe that the person in front of her was not "Meng Tian" but a person who was supposed to be in the Northern Mountain Village.

Fang Zhengzhi!

Only Fang Zhengzhi could read Yan Xiu's mind and understand his sadness. Only Fang Zhengzhi would know about the soul of the b.l.o.o.d.y Landscape Ill.u.s.tration.

"Dao Xin, you are indeed very smart." Fang Zhengzhi's sword moved again and the light silver rain turned into heavy rain as countless beams of silver light fell from the sky.

Those were countless silvery-white long rivers that looked like the galaxy. They were extremely vibrant and lit up the entire sky with their brightness.

"Why? Why are you here?!" Dao Xin's body shuddered, the pain on his face became more obvious and blood started trickling down the side of his mouth.

"Is this important?"

"Not really, but don't you want the answer all along? If you kill me now, you won't get the answer, you will never get it!" Dao Xin looked as if she was going crazy.

"You are wrong, I have already gotten the answer." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.

"Impossible, it is definitely impossible! You definitely did not get the answer, n.o.body can guess the answer!" Dao Xin turned pale and started trembling. However, despite that, she still stood beside Yan Xiu and had no intention of running away.

Perhaps it was not because she did not want to run.

Instead, it was because she knew that she could not run away after knowing the true ident.i.ty of "Meng Tian".

"Guess? Haha… Dao Xin, you finally said a "truthful" sentence." Fang Zhengzhi was 100 percent sure of his answer now.

"…" Dao Xin froze.

She finally stopped trembling but the agony on her face was even more obvious. The pain and sadness that she portrayed were impossible to be faked.

Dao Xin was really in pain, it was a pain due to sadness.

It was the same feeling as what Yan Xiu experienced but even stronger such that her tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"No, this is not possible… it's impossible!" Dao Xin seemed to be venting her anger and pain.

However, at this moment, Yan Xiu suddenly collapsed to the ground and was drenched in sweat. The silvery-white rain seemed to have a huge impact on his body, causing his breath to become extremely irregular and the black and white radiance in his eyes were flickering non-stop.

"Ah!!!" An ear-deafening voice of agony was heard.
