Chapter 666
There was no sound of collision or the feeling of a sword piercing through his body . The only thing Fang Zhengzhi heard was the sound of a heart beating, and he couldn't help but open his eyes again .
Then, he found a sword that stopped half an inch away from his chest .
There was a jade-green glow on the sword and the gloomy cold light chilled the surroundings a little . However, that sword seemed to have stopped completely .
”Eh?” Fang Zhengzhi's blurred vision prevented him from seeing clearly, but he could vaguely feel a mighty strength restraining the sword before him .
Silk-like threads of light had coiled around the sword and even completely entwined the arm holding it .
”It's Yan Xiu!? Has he recovered?”
”He didn't die after all . But, what's with that light on his body?”
”Something seems off, it appears that…”
The astonished discussions from the disciples of Heaven Dao Pavilion were heard .
Fang Zhengzhi was startled to hear them . ”Yan Xiu,” he thought . At the thought of that, a harsher pain struck him and he couldn't help but furrow his brows .
However, he eventually saw an indistinctive figure behind the Fifth Elder .
Multiple blood-red halos revolved around the figure as if it was surrounded by layers of ripples .
The thing was…there was a dark aura amidst the blood-red halos that felt extremely evil .
More importantly, the eyes of the figure stood out . One of them was red, the other black .
It was red as fresh blood and black as the abyss .
Its blackness was like that of a bottomless pit without a trace of light, pulling people towards its depth .
”Yan Xiu!” Fan Zhengzhi struggled to lift himself up with his hand against the ground, but the intense pain at his heart trembled his arm .
At this moment, a cold voice was heard .
”Die!”
Rays of crimson light, infused with a dark aura, shot out from the ground like claws from h.e.l.l .
In a brief moment, almost a hundred rays appeared .
”Yan Xiu, you…” the Fifth Elder sounded surprised, but he was quick to react . Countless beams of jade-green light covered his body, forming a spherical s.h.i.+eld .
”Boom!” a deafening bang was heard .
The jade-green s.h.i.+eld flew up as if it was struck by multiple impacts . It rose into the air, before landing heavily on the ground .
Meanwhile, a gigantic painting formed in the sky .
There were mountains, streams, and trees .
It was the b.l.o.o.d.y Landscape .
However, unlike the previous b.l.o.o.d.y Landscape, the current one had a fathomless darkness in it, apart from the bright-red blood .
A terrifying suction force was unleashed from the b.l.o.o.d.y Landscape . With an incessant buzzing, countless strands of light shot out at high speed .
”Crack!”
The strands of light struck on the Fifth Elder's jade-green spherical light s.h.i.+eld .
The light s.h.i.+eld was soon pulled over and into the b.l.o.o.d.y Landscape painting at a faster speed .
It was definitely a shocking scene .
All the disciples of Heaven Dao Pavilion, as well as the three emperors sitting on the Heaven Academic Altar, and even Mu Qingfeng who had his eyes closed all these while, opened his eyes at this moment .
”What's going on? How is he so powerful all of a sudden?”
”Did he break through? Did Yan Xiu enter the Rebirth State as well?”
”It should be! Look at the light that gathered around him instead of collapsing, that's a symbol of the Rebirth State!”
”But, even if he has reached the Rebirth State, there's no way he could be that powerful . Even the Fifth Elder seemed defenseless against that suction force!”
The disciples of Heaven Dao Pavilion were taken aback and could hardly react to this sudden change . After all, even they could vividly sense that terrifying power .
However, they were certain that Yan Xiu had broken through and entered the Rebirth State .
”He broke through?” The Fifth Elder's expression changed slightly .
Although his body was shrouded by the jade-green light, he had never expected to be forcefully pulled back .
Most importantly, even the light s.h.i.+eld on his body had cracked after the attack just now and it seemed to be at its limits .
Moreover, he clearly sensed that the dark aura on Yan Xiu was getting denser .
Coils of dark aura circled up Yan Xiu's legs and fused with the crimson aura, giving off an air of extreme evil .
”Boom!”
The Fifth Elder collided with the b.l.o.o.d.y Landscape and the impact shook his body .
At the instance when he collided with b.l.o.o.d.y Landscape, the crimson lights and dark aura violently crashed into him, each feeling like a sharp claw .
”Crack! Crack!” the jade-green light on his body started to shatter, and the crimson lights that were infused with the dark aura went through the cracks and headed toward him .
”Begone!” a dark-green shock wave that was more intense than the jade-green light burst out of his body .
With the shock wave, he broke free of b.l.o.o.d.y Landscape's control and fell to the ground nearby .
However, it was a hard landing .
”Powerful!”
”How is he so powerful?!”
”Didn't he just break through to the Rebirth State?”
The disciples of Heaven Dao Pavilion exclaimed with disbelief .
Mu Qingfeng suddenly stood up from his white-jade chair, as his white robe danced to the wind, an unconcealable astonishment could be seen in his eyes .
”Dao of Asura? Is it really that strong?”
