774 Everyone Must Die! (1/2)
Three breaths!
What did this mean?
It was akin to someone spending 30 years on closed-door cultivation in isolation to master a new, immensely powerful sword technique. Then, the moment he ended his closed-door cultivation and declared, ”I'm invincible and I want to rule the world”, he realized that the entire world had mastered this technique. Even a three years old child was better than him.
Collapse!
This was Great Elder Ying Yu's feeling right now. His body and soul were on the verge of a total collapse.
He was not alone. The four other elders who stood next to him and the hundreds of disciples from the Nine Pinnacles Mountain all felt the same way.
”Three breaths?!”
”Mastered the Ice Crystal Dao!”
”Is he still human?”
The Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples naturally knew that it was extremely difficult to master the Ice Crystal Dao. In fact, they knew exactly how hard it was.
However, the floating chunk of ice in Fang Zhengzhi's hand resembled the Ice Crystal Dao's Nine Crystal Formation exactly. Furthermore, more importantly, Fang Zhengzhi was able to escape from the Nine Crystal Formation. The only explanation for that was that he had mastered it.
This was a fact.
However, it was a fact that few were willing to accept.
At this moment, everyone was still unable to come to terms with this fact. A ray of light suddenly appeared in front of Ying Yu.
”Slicck!” A sword which shone with a devilish purple light pierced through Ying Yu's heart in front of everyone. They instantly woke up from their reverie.
”Leader!”
”Master!”
The four elders and hundreds of disciples all called out together.
Great Elder Ying Yu's body shivered as he stared intently at the Traceless Sword, which had penetrated his heart. Then, he looked at the purple light swirling on top of it. His eyes bulged.
”You…” Ying Yu wanted to say that this was the Nine Pinnacles Mountain. It was one of the five sects of the Holy Region and furthermore, there were hundreds of disciples near him. How dared he try to kill him.
However, just as he was able to speak, no word came out. This was because Fang Zhengzhi had already killed him without any fear or apprehension.
Was he about to die?
This was the first time Ying Yu asked himself this. At the same time, it was the last time.
He never expected himself to die like this, standing amidst hundreds of disciples from the Nine Pinnacles Mountain as he was stabbed to death.
”Actually, I lied to you just now,” said Fang Zhengzhi as he blinked his eyes. He noticed the unwilling look on Ying Yu's face.
”What… what…?” The Great Elder's eyes widened once more. His eyes were bloodshot and his body trembled violently. He did not know why Fang Zhengzhi would say this so suddenly. However, he wanted to know what did Fang Zhengzhi lie to him about.
”I lied to you about mastering the Ice Crystal Dao in just three breaths. Actually…” As Fang Zhengzhi spoke, his voice seemed to taper off.
”Haha… yes… how can you master a Dao in just three breaths when I, Ying Yu, spent my entire life on it! I wasn't calm… enough, so I fell for… your trick…” When Great Elder Ying Yu heard this, his expression froze and he understood what Fang Zhengzhi wanted to say almost instantly.
”Actually, I wanted to say that I did not need three breaths. One to two breaths were enough!” Fang Zhengzhi waved his hand as he looked innocently at Ying Yu.
”One to two breaths were enough!”
”… Enough!”
The whole world turned deathly silent at this point. A single voice reverberated across the Nine Pinnacles Mountain…
However, Ying Yu's body shook once more. His pale face turned green as his lips trembled non-stop as he said, ”One to two… breaths…”
”Bleugh!” He spat out another mouthful of blood. Then, Ying Yu's body fell backward.
”Leader!”
”Ma… master!”
The four elders and the hundreds of disciples all called out in unison. Furthermore, as their voices reverberated, the four elders attacked together.
They were very fast!
At such a close distance, four rays of light appeared next to Fang Zhengzhi almost instantly as they attacked him from all directions.
Then, at this moment, a ray of blood-red light shot out from the ground, completely enveloping Fang Zhengzhi.
At the same time…
The ground completely split open. Countless rays of blood-red light rose from the ground. Instantly, they solidified and turned into a blood-red blade.
”Boom!”
”Ah…”
”Dodge it, it's the Dao of Asura!”
”Ahh!”
Wails of pain rang out in the air. At this moment, with Fang Zhengzhi as the center, the Nine Crystals Formation laid by the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples turned into a slaughterhouse.
”Crrack!” The right arm of an elder who wielded a sword was sliced off by a sharp, blood-red sword. His arm was sent flying.
The three other elders were sent flying back too. Their bodies were all blood-soaked and huge gashes could be seen all over them.
Among the hundreds of disciples from the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, half of them were severely injured. Almost all of them had wounds on them and their faces were extremely pale.
Cries of pain rang out ceaselessly and reverberated in the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
”It seems that the Nine Crystals Formation just now depleted much of your Origin Energy, right?” Fang Zhengzhi gripped his sword and swept his surrounding with his gaze. He stood in the center of the carnage. His hair flew in the air as he looked at the bloodied ground.
”Fang Zhengzhi, do you really want to kill everyone from the Nine Pinnacles Mountain?!” The elder whose arm had been cut off knelt on the ground and looked at Fang Zhengzhi, his mouth oozing blood.
He brimmed with hatred. He hated how helpless he was. At the same time, he hated Fang Zhengzhi too and he would like nothing more than to kill him straight away. However, he knew that was impossible.
This was because, just like what Fang Zhengzhi had said, they were not powerful to move against him anymore. Just now, the Nine Crystals Formation had drained much of their Origin Energy.
Hence, how could they continue fighting?
