Everyone else at the entrance of 100 Herb Hall felt fear just like the fifth elder, because Fang Zhengzhi was much stronger than they imagined.
Fang Zhengzhi looked up towards the rising sun. The blue sky contained a red tint, just like how Yin Yang Hall was about to be painted red by bloodshed.
Traceless Sword was buzzing softly as if it was excited. Rays of purple light flowed around the sword. It was horrifyingly demonic.
Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t about to surrender to them, because he needed Dao Hun to save Yan Xiu. In order to do that, he needed to bring Dao Hun out of Yin Yang Hall.
It was extremely difficult, but he wanted to give it a shot.
Fang Zhengzhi’s lips curled into a smile after he adjusted Dao Hun’s body. His smile was out of place, because he shouldn’t be smiling under such circumstances. However, Fang Zhengzhi was smiling brightly.
“Come at me. I wonder how Yin Yang Hall is going to stop me!” With a determined expression, Fang Zhengzhi pointed Traceless Sword towards the crowd.
“Hiss!” Almost everyone gasped when they heard him because what he said was too cocky.
“How are we going to stop him?”
“This guy is too full of himself!”
“Is he still thinking of getting away? Does he really think that he could go against the entire Yin Yang Hall by himself? Is that possible?”
The disciples of Yin Yang Hall stared at Fang Zhengzhi with disbelief. Given the current circumstances, Fang Zhengzhi couldn’t possibly escape no matter how strong he was.
However, they didn’t sense any fear from Fang Zhengzhi. In fact, he seemed relaxed.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one moved.
Then… An elder wearing a loose black and white robe stepped out of the crowd and said, “Since you’re hell-bent on courting your own death, I’ll be your opponent!”
“It’s the fourth elder!”
“The fourth elder hasn’t fought in a long time!”
“That’s right. I think the fourth elder is powerful enough to take him down!”
The disciples of Yin Yang Hall were relieved to see the elder. However, they also felt weird.
They were doubtful.
However, they were quick to deny their doubts. After all, it was an elder of Yin Yang Hall!
“Old Four, wait a minute!” The person who spoke was a skinny elder with a scar on his face. Even the wind seemed to be able to blow him away.
However, he felt composed like a unmovable mountain.
All the disciples shut their mouths when they heard this elder, not daring to make a sound.
This was because he was Yin Yang Hall’s great elder, Mo Yu.
His strength and authority in Yin Yang Hall were only second to Dao Hun. It could even be said that his opinion mattered more than Dao Hun’s when it came to important matters.
“Big brother, what’s wrong?” The fourth elder also looked towards Mo Yu with a puzzled expression.
“You can never be too careful. Old Three, you’d join Old Four!” Instead of answering the fourth elder’s question, Mo Yu looked towards another elder.
That elder was the third elder of Yin Yang Hall.
“Okay!” The third elder walked towards the fourth elder without any hesitation.
“Third brother, fourth brother, this kid managed to hurt eighth brother with a single strike. You two take him seriously. In my opinion, Old Six and I should join…” The fifth elder sounded out.
“Why do we have to take a kid at Rebirth State so seriously? Fifth brother, you shouldn’t feed his ego anymore. I think that I can do it alone!” The fourth elder interrupted the fifth elder.
“Old Four, don’t get ahead of yourself. This kid is so cunning that even the Hallmaster fell victim to his tricks. We’d listen to big brother and take him on together!” Said the third elder.
“Alright, let’s do it together!” Two blue sabres appeared in the fourth elder’s hand after he said that.
“Wait!” Fang Zhengzhi also chimed in at this moment.
“Oh? It’s too late to surrender now. Hurry up and say your last words!” The fourth elder smiled coldly.
“Surrender?” Fang Zhengzhi put on a condescending smile and continued, “I actually wanted to ask, are you two of you enough to handle me?”
“Don’t be so full of yourself!” The fourth elder charged towards Fang Zhengzhi .
The third elder also rushed towards him with a teal sword in his hand.
Yin Yang Hall had never needed to send two elders against a single enemy, not to mention an enemy at Rebirth State.
However, not a disciple said a word this time, because they knew well that one elder might not suffice against Fang Zhengzhi.
The two elders moved swiftly.
In almost a blink of an eye, they were already beside Fang Zhengzhi. Two sabres and a sword attacked him from both sides simultaneously, showing their perfect coordination.
Most importantly, they intended to kill Fang Zhengzhi.
The weapons were all coming for Fang Zhengzhi’s vital spots, such as his throat and his chest.
Then… there was nothing.
This was because Fang Zhengzhi ran away. As soon as the elders rushed towards him, he turned around and ran into the crowd of disciples.
“…”
“…”
The two elders and all the disciples were startled to see that.
If Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t so cocky just now, or if he appeared to be frightened, they would be able to accept what they just saw.
However, he was so full of himself… But he suddenly ran away.
What the hell was he doing?
No one knew what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking about, and no one could even comprehend how shameless he must be in order to do that.
However, Fang Zhengzhi did charge into the crowd of disciples and unleashed his Traceless Sword upon them.
The purple sword radiance fused with the crimson light, and a dragon’s roar shook the heaven.
“Boom!” His sword came down.
He created an opening in the crowd, leaving two disciples laying in a pool of blood. However, they didn’t die because there was more space here than the inside of 1000 Herb Hall. Nevertheless, they were severely injured.
“You can’t escape!” The fourth elder finally reacted and bolted towards the opening that Fang Zhengzhi had created.
“Old Four, watch out!” Mo Yu remainder was too late, because the fourth elder was already standing in front of Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi’s lips curled into a smile at this instance.
“Rumble!” As soon as the fourth elder stood in front of him, the ground went down by half an inch.
Then, eight balls of black flame appeared in the air.
This wasn’t the end of it. A giant picture also appeared in the air and covered the fourth elder’s entire body.
“Hmph? Hell Dao!” The fourth elder recognised the picture in the sky, but he had never seen it appearing in the air before.
However, that didn’t matter anymore, because a horrifying suction force was coming from both below and above him.
It felt like there were countless invisible forces pulling his body in both directions, as if he was crushed by a mountain.
The fourth elder’s expression changed instantly.
In the next instance, his pupils shrank, because Fang Zhengzhi’s sword was already in his face. Unlike how miserable he was just now, Fang Zhengzhi was now covered by a burning black armour. There was even a crimson light flowing around the armour.
Most importantly, his eyes looked different.
His eyes were clear and translucent, but there was a circular, spinning wheel. There were 4 different coloured lights glowing on the wheel.
This was a creepy sight to behold.
However, the fourth elder sensed a deadly threat from his eyes, which sent a chill down his spine.
“No!” The fourth elder shouted angrily and protected his chest with the two swords.
However, Fang Zhengzhi’s sword was faster than he had imagined. The sword had neared him as soon as he spotted it.
“Slash!” Blood splattered into the air, along with an arm that was connected to half a shoulder.
“Ah!!!!” The fourth elder let out a heart-rending cry. His face turned pale as a sheet.
“Old Four!” The third elder was already behind Fang Zhengzhi by now, so he naturally saw the blood splashing into the air.
It was a harrowing and tragic scene.
Even though he witnessed it with his own eyes, he still couldn’t believe that the fourth elder was defeated with a single strike.
He was shocked.
However, the third elder wasn’t anxious about it. On the contrary, he was able to remain calm and collected despite the crisis.
Although the fourth elder was injured, he wasn’t going to die so quickly.
Since they were so lucky, he had to take down Fang Zhengzhi, especially since he was already behind his back.
His sword stabbed towards Fang Zhengzhi’s heart.
It was fast!
He didn’t want to spare Fang Zhengzhi’s life, and he was also confident that Fang Zhengzhi couldn’t possibly turn around to block his attack after he cut off the fourth elder’s arm.
In fact, Fang Zhengzhi actually didn’t turn around to block his attack.
Rather… Fang Zhengzhi didn’t seem to notice the third elder at all. However, Dao Hun suddenly slipped off his shoulder.
It seemed like Fang Zhengzhi didn’t hold him properly.
Unfortunately, Dao Hun’s happened to end up between the third elder’s sword and Fang Zhengzhi’s heart.
“What?!” Staggered, the third elder stopped his sword immediately. However, that messed up his internal Qi and blood.
After all, it was easy to follow through with his attack, but stopping it was difficult.
At the meantime, Fang Zhengzhi turned his head around. The third elder then saw his eyes, which were clear and translucent, but glowing with 4 different colours.
Only now… Did he understand why Fang Zhengzhi was carrying Dao Hun on his shoulder. He wanted to scold him for being so shameless.
However, he didn’t say a word in the end.
He wanted to scold Fang Zhengzhi, but as someone who came from a military background, he knew that military tactics were all about deceiving your opponents. In a war, the only thing that mattered was the outcome.
‘The winner gets everything while the loser gets nothing.’
Now, the third elder was the loser.
For that, he paid the price of losing his legs. He couldn’t stop the sword that was glowing with a purple and crimson light.
The sword was terrifyingly fast.
“Slash!” His blood was like a blooming flower.
The third elder was sent flying by the enormous force. He crashed onto the ground and couldn’t stand up again.
This was because he had lost his legs.
While his body landed, he heard a voice before he could spurt out the blood in his mouth.
“Next! I’ve already told you guys that two aren’t enough!”
