Chapter 681 Growth, End of the Line
At the same time, a huge shadow appeared on Tian Xing’s body.
It was a red-haired hunk clad in black armor. On his black armor, one could see golden dots of light flashing. He had thick brows and bronze-like eyes and his face was almost completely covered by his thick, black beard.
It was real, very real.
The moment the red-haired hunk appeared, Tian Xing disappeared. It seemed as if he had merged with this red-haired hunk.
A terrifying pressure could be felt from Tian Xing. When Tian Xing roared, it was as if the very heaven roared with him. It was a heavenly kind of anger.
This scene seemed greatly exaggerated.
The Heaven Dao Pavilion and Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples underneath were both shocked when they saw this. Their faces were awestruck and terrified.
"Wrath of the Heaven! Is this Tian Xing’s lineage?!"
"He uses his lineage straightaway. He’s not giving Fang Zhengzhi any chance at all!"
"He truly lives up to his title as one of the most powerful beings in the Holy Region!"
When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw this scene, they were all petrified. In their hearts, they knew that this battle did not need more than three moves.
Fang Zhengzhi was slightly stunned too. He knew that Tian Xing was strong and he was mentally prepared too. However, could he really be so strong until he did not know when to show mercy?
What kind of nonsense was this?
Was this the ’complete change’?
Before he had any more time to think, Fang Zhengzhi felt a terrifying power from his fist. It was as heavy as a mountain and brimmed with a vast energy. Waves of it smashed against his body ceaselessly. It was able to suppress him completely.
There was no way he could block it.
"Boom!"
Fang Zhengzhi’s body fell from the heaven immediately. He was like a comet that streaked across the night sky as he fell to the ground at full speed.
"Kaboom!"
Another hole appeared in the ground, which had already been ruined, instantly. One could not see how deep it was. Even Fang Zhengzhi’s figure could not be seen.
Silence. It was extremely silent.
Every single Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples looked into the hole. They stared at the canyon-like hole and they all sighed in their hearts.
The disparity in strength was far too wide.
Even if Fang Zhengzhi was a genius, even if his sword strokes were capable of matching the strength of a Sage State being, he now faced one of the most powerful beings in the entire Holy Region, Tian Xing.
How could he win?
Excluding the fact that Fang Zhengzhi was only in the Rebirth State, even a normal Sage State cultivator could not last more than three moves when fighting against Tian Xing.
"No mercy indeed!" Mu Qingfeng looked into the distance as he stared at the godly red-haired hunk. He shook his head slightly.
He naturally knew the full extent of Tian Xing’s strength.
Hence, he knew that Fang Zhengzhi’s chances of lasting more than three moves against him were close to zero.
"Fang Zhengzhi!" The voice of the Xian King, Lin Yun, sounded. It broke the silence around them. He naturally saw the look of worry on Emperor Lin Mubai’s face and he understood that this was a fight that he could no stop. However, he still looked subconsciously at Chi Guyan.
Chi Guyan’s face was slightly pale. This time, this Pride of the Heavens looked worried.
However, the look of worry faded.
She bit her lips tightly and the starlight in her eyes shone brighter and brighter. However, Chi Guyan did not move. She did not even say a single word.
"Motherf*cker! F*ck!" At this moment, a sound emanated from the black hole. It was weak but also infuriated.
The disciples of both the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Nine Pinnacles Mountain were shocked. Countless looks were shot in the direction of the black hole.
Even Nangong Hao, who had been standing in the crowd without moving or saying anything, looked in the direction of the hole. He was shocked too.
At this very moment, a figure slowly crawled out from the black hole. One could see that this figure was trembling. Evidently, he was in a bad state.
However, this person was extremely resolute. His resolution was indescribable, but it existed and was very, very real.
"He is still alive?!"
"This is a miracle. Tian Xing struck him with the power of his lineage!"
"However, he has just one breath left. With his state now, he can’t survive the second blow, much less the third."
The Heaven Dao Pavilion and Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples were all shocked. However, other than being shocked, they clearly knew that after taking this blow, Fang Zhengzhi was the end of the line. There was no chance of survival for him anymore.
Chi Guyan bit down on her lips tighter.
She clenched her fists even tighter and her entire body appeared to be shaking slightly. However, she did not move. Instead, she just watched the figure climb out of the hole quietly.
"Cough!" Fang Zhengzhi’s body trembled as he coughed repeatedly and loudly. Blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth. He was on the verge of collapse.
However, he continued to stare intently at the huge figure in the distance. He looked at the red-haired hunk clad in black armor.
This was...
Was it the legendary Xuan Heavenly Dao Body, otherwise known as his lineage or bloodline? Tian Xing had one? It should be similar to the shadow that floated behind Chi Guyan’s back too right?
Fang Zhengzhi tried to guess what it was. However, he could clearly see that the shadow behind Tian Xing, compared to the flickering one behind Chi Guyan, was much more ’real’.
"Is this how strong he is?"
Fang Zhengzhi knew that this time, he grossly underestimated Tian Xing’s strength. When he fought Mu Qingfeng, he did not use his full strength.
Recently, Fang Zhengzhi had been fighting with many powerful Sage State cultivators.
For example, when he was in the Flame Capital City, he fought with King Xieluo, the Demon King. Earlier, he fought with Third Elder and Fifth Elder in the Heaven Dao Pavilion. Just now, he fought with Wan Lei of the Yin Yang Hall.
After these three battles, it was impossible for Fang Zhengzhi not to grow at all.
Of course, now that he thought about it, Fang Zhengzhi realized how naïve he was.
There was something common among all these fights. King Xieluo was severely drained and had been severely injured by Ping Yang. This was why he had his chance.
When he fought against Third Elder and Fifth Elder, he was able to play tricks on them and it was a very lucky win for him.
In his battle against Wan Lei of the Yin Yang Pavilion, more than 70% of Wan Lei’s Origin Energy had been depleted at the start of the fight. Furthermore, he fought him together with Chi Guyan.
"Are you ready?" At this moment, the shadow on Tian Xing’s body disappeared. His black robes billowed in the wind but he did not descend from the sky. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi as if he was looking at a dead man.
"Yes!" The moment Fang Zhengzhi said that he moved and a streak of blue light flashed past. Soon, he was standing in front of Tian Xing.
His Traceless Sword in his hands shone with an eye-catching purple light.
The sword started to roar and a dragon roar could be heard.
"This guy still dares to... go against him?!"
"Is he courting death?"
"Something is wrong. With his shamelessness, shouldn’t he say something like ’I haven’t rested enough’? Why did he not request for a break but instead, deliver himself up like this?"
The disciples of both the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Nine Pinnacles Mountain were shocked beyond words to see Fang Zhengzhi rush up once more.
They were not the only ones...
A look of confusion flashed in Tian Xing’s eyes.
He naturally could see that Fang Zhengzhi was at the end of the line. Even so, the only way he could live was by concentrating all his energy on defending himself.
In other words, this was the only way he could survive the three blows?
Attack?
What did it mean?
Tian Xing did not understand what was going on, but Fang Zhengzhi was already in front of him. He almost subconsciously attacked, but at this moment, a thought flashed past his mind.
"Oh no, this b*stard wants to trick me!" Tian Xing’s eyes shone brightly with light. Then, he moved too. However, he did not move toward Fang Zhengzhi.
Instead...
He rushed at light-speed toward the black hole in the ground.
"What’s going on?"
"Why doesn’t he kill Fang Zhengzhi straightaway? Why is he charging toward the hole?"
"Wait a minute, can that be..."
When the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Nine Pinnacles Mountain saw this scene, looks of suspicion crossed their faces. Quickly, they all came to the same conclusion.
"This is Heavenly Descent!"
"This guy is truly shameless!"
"What a pity that his opponent is Tian Xing! Had it been anyone else, who may not know that he has mastered the Heavenly Dao, he may be able to successfully trick them!"
After they realized what was going on, the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples knew that Fang Zhengzhi’s time was up.
"Boom!" Tian Xing’s body charged into the black hole at this moment. At the same time, a thick, almost solid, ball of light started to shine.
This made the huge black hole blow up instantly. Countless pieces of rock and granite flew everywhere. However, as they flew, they were instantly into powder.
This move was terrifying. It would surely lead to death.
"Is he dead?" Everyone stared tightly at the ground, which had been covered with black light. They were all nervous.
