Chapter 742: Nine Swords Returning Into One, Starlight

Fang Zhengzhi's eyes were bright. His crystalline eyes shone with a purple light. As he slashed with his sword, he could clearly sense that Second Elder had been injured.

However, this was not enough to kill him. At the final moment, Fang Zhengzhi could sense that something had blocked him.

Just as he thought about that…

A golden ray of light lit up, broke through the purple light, and rushed out. It was vast and ancient and one could hear an ancient bell chiming in the background.

“Dong!” One could hear the sound of a bell.

The purple light, which had been released, was completely suppressed. Gradually, a golden bell started to s.h.i.+ne. Compared to the shadow just now, it was very different. This time, the golden bell was smaller but it was solid. Second Elder held the tiny ancient bell in his hands as he slowly twirled it around.

On the ancient bell, one could see intricate and exquisite patterns. The nine small golden swords were carved on it and on top of it, one could see the head of a beast, which appeared to be a jin chan (Translator's Note: It's also known as a ‘money frog'. Imagine a golden frog with a coin in its mouth.)

“This is Second Elder's Source of Dao, the ‘Golden Beast Sword Bell'!”

“Second Elder's arm is injured?!”

“He actually forced Second Elder to use this… is this guy really just in his Rebirth State?!”

When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw the tiny golden bell in Second Elder's hand, as well as his bleeding arm, they were no longer just shocked.

They were depressed.

Had he not used his Source of Dao, the Golden Beast Sword Bell, the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples would still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

This meant that he was truly in a life-and-death situation.

“Will he really lose? The Heaven Dao Pavilion, one of the five sects of the Holy Region, will actually lose to the Shadow Sect in its own territory?” The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples could not accept this result. However, this cruel outcome was about to happen.

Of course, Second Elder did not give up.

Although it was a sign of desperation for him to use his Source of Dao, its appearance also meant that Second Elder's strength was raised to the next level.

“Fang Zhengzhi, even if I die today, I'll take you down with me!” Second Elder roared. He was utterly enraged because of that attack just now.

A wild energy surged from the Golden Beast Sword Bell in his hand and he was bathed in golden light. It was as if he had been cloaked in an armor of gold.

At the same time, the nine swords carved on his Golden Beast Sword Bell flew out instantly. They congregated toward the golden sword Second Elder wielded.

“Ding!” A light sound.

The nine tiny swords disappeared instantly and the golden sword in Second Elder's hand started to transform. The light on top of it became even more intense and one could see shadows flitting past on the blade of the sword. An unbelievably sharp aura could be felt from it.

“Nine swords returning into one? Are you going to use your full strength?!” As Fang Zhengzhi noticed the transformation of the sword Second Elder wielded, he too was stunned.

After all, his opponent was the Second Elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion. In terms of pure strength, he was many times more powerful than he was. When someone like him wanted to use his full strength, it was no joke!

As he watched the huge and powerful aura coming over, Fang Zhengzhi wanted to try and resist it once more. However, he knew that this aura was too strong and completely unlike Fourth Elder's.

Then, before Fang Zhengzhi even had the time to ponder and make his decision, Second Elder had already transformed into a golden ray of light and appeared before him.

It was really…

Blindingly-fast!

Even Fang Zhengzhi was stunned by Second Elder's speed. This was because Yan Qing, who stood in front of him, did not even react as Second Elder rushed over.

Evidently, one could tell how fast Second Elder was.

“This is ridiculous?!” Fang Zhengzhi instantly felt the level of suppression he had experienced when he fought against Tian Xing, the Leader of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.

At this moment, a ray of golden light flashed past his eyes.

It was very bright and the very air appeared to have been torn apart.

Then, Fang Zhengzhi heard a sound that resembled metals clanging against each other. It was as if ten thousand swords clashed against each other.

It was deafening.

At the same time, it made him anxious.

He shook his head vigorously. Fang Zhengzhi felt that at this time, he must stay calm. However, before he could calm down, a shocking scene appeared once more. The golden light in front of him transformed into nine different rays of light. Each of them was a single sword and each sword shone with a golden sword.

Oh no!

When Fang Zhengzhi saw this scene, he knew that he was in deep trouble.

This was because Second Elder's speed was seriously too fast. Furthermore, the nine golden swords completely sealed Fang Zhengzhi's retreat. From top to bottom, he was completely encircled.

There was no way for him to escape.

He could only resist it forcefully.

A black armor appeared on Fang Zhengzhi's body and then, black fire burned on his black armor. Right now, a few more rays of purple light started to s.h.i.+ne on the black fire.

This was Fang Zhengzhi's strongest defense.

Of course, as he defended himself, Fang Zhengzhi's Traceless Sword moved too. He sliced upward at the first golden sword that came for his throat.

However, at this very moment, a figure appeared like a ghost in front of Fang Zhengzhi. The figure had lightless black eyes, which looked like the depths of h.e.l.l.

Yan Xiu!

Yan Xiu, right now, was no longer targeted by both Second Elder and Fang Zhengzhi. However, they did not forget about him.

After all, he had been attacking all this while.

“Yan Xiu, move!” Fang Zhengzhi never expected Yan Xiu to appear in front of him at this moment. Normally, by right, Yan Xiu would have lost his reason.

Without reason, how could they coordinate?

Fang Zhengzhi never prepared for this. However, when Yan Xiu appeared, nine golden swords stabbed down at the same time. Their speed was astoundingly fast.

“Kill!” Yan Xiu did not appear to have heard what Fang Zhengzhi said. He said in a shrill voice and then, a black claw appeared from the ground and slashed the golden swords.

At this moment…

Fang Zhengzhi felt that something was amiss.

When Yan Xiu looked at him, he thought he saw something in Yan Xiu's black, lightless eyes. Something was on the verge of rus.h.i.+ng out.

It was an extremely tragic sensation.

It pa.s.sed instantly.
