Chapter 654
Mu Qingfeng's expression was definitely not as exaggerated as the Heaven Dao disciples, but a drop of cold sweat unknowingly trickled down his forehead . As he gazed at Third Elder sprawled on the ground in agony, he did not know what to say - because he was the one who suggested for Third Elder to give Fang Zhengzhi the first five moves .
Heaven pities and protects us all .
He never expected that Fang Zhengzhi would dare to strike Third Elder's a.n.u.s so mercilessly, and even pull off a successful sneak attack!
” . . . . ” Mu Qingfeng's jaws dropped . He wanted to say something to comfort Third Elder, but he still swallowed his words eventually, because he knew Third Elder's temper very well .
In situations like these, he could only pretend to have gone blind and not witnessed this embarra.s.sing scene, or to have his memories suddenly fragment and pretend to have not remembered anything at all .
There was a strange eerie silence .
Mu Qingfeng was wary of Third Elder's temper, and the Heaven Dao disciples were completely dumbfounded . After the initial wave of unbelievable shock, all the Heaven Dao disciples subconsciously lowered their heads .
”I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything …”
”I didn't see anything at all!”
”Wow, the sun's rays are so blinding …”
The Heaven Dao disciples lowered their heads one after another, muttering in their hearts and resisting the urge to do anything rash, too afraid to make a sound .
Yan Qing, Qian Wu and the other candidates looked at each other, noticing the astonishment and bewilderment in each other's eyes .
As for Fang Zhengzhi … he had no time to hesitate .
After landing a successful strike after much effort, he wouldn't possibly give Third Elder any chances to recover . As the saying goes, any mercy shown to the enemy is cruelty to yourself . Fang Zhengzhi wasn't interested in self-harm, hence could only let Third Elder bear the brunt of the pain .
Having dealt Third Elder with the unimaginable Thousand Years of Pain, he naturally knew that Third Elder was now in a world of excruciating agony . And as the saying goes, I'll kill you when you're still down!
Fang Zhengzhi decided to strike again before Third Elder could recover .
He didn't have time to ponder over more intricate issues like whether he would offend Third Elder and the Heaven Dao Pavilion . After all, he had to protect his own life first . Nothing else else mattered .
The Heaven Dao Pavilion wouldn't be concerned about their moral principles for some unimportant background character, neither would they show any mercy . In such a situation, they would only care about saving themselves .
Fang Zhengzhi's second strike came just as fast . Even though Third Elder flew about five or six steps away, it didn't affect Fang Zhengzhi's attack . The azure ray of light continued radiating in the air .
The s.h.i.+fting Forms technique .
Fang Zhengzhi's body traversed through the blinding light . He previously observed this technique being used by the Half Sage Can Yang of the Demon Race, hence had to proceed with caution .
In the blink of an eye, he already arrived behind Third Elder .
There were no extravagant movements, or any announcements made like the previous sneak attack . This time, Fang Zhengzhi acted almost silently .
An attack like the Thousands Years of Pain … . He certainly couldn't use it again . After all, Third Elder was already sprawled on the ground . With this incorrect posture, Fang Zhengzhi couldn't possibly execute a similar attack .
He landed a kick straight on Third Elder's neck and head .
”Bang!” A deep thunderous sound ruptured through the Heaven Dao Pavilion . Following that, Third Elder's body propelled into the air once again, flying into the distance at a terrifying speed before finally cras.h.i.+ng straight into a white jade railing at the edge of the Heaven Academic Altar .
”Crack!” The white jade railing shattered instantly, and Third Elder's body rolled a full eight steps away after the collision before finally stopping . His body was covered in debris .
”You insolent brat, how dare you … . ” Fifth Elder's voice finally rang . He clenched his fist so tight until it made cracking sounds . A s.h.i.+mmer of light flickered on his forehead . He didn't complete his sentence, but anyone could tell that he was not only enraged, but extremely furious!
However, he didn't take a step forward to help his senior even though his body was already shuddering incessantly from the immense rage .
”Shameless, utterly shameless!”
”He even attacked Third Elder while Third Elder was still down!”
”This guy is … really cruel!”
The Heaven Dao disciples began hurling insults at Fang Zhengzhi, but strangely enough, none of them moved forward to help Third Elder up . Even the expressions on their faces did not seem particularly tense .
”Was I not brutal enough? I already channelled 80% of my strength for that kick just now . ” Fang Zhengzhi was not bothered by the chiding from the crowd .
He was more concerned about … stabbing Third Elder another time while he was still sprawled on the ground .
He had a tinge of hesitation, but ultimately did not waver for long . Fang Zhengzhi began his third attack . He clenched both his fists as his eyes glowed with a resplendent azure light as blue as the sky .
