...
Fang Zhengzhi could feel the aura from Shi Kou keenly. He knew exactly how powerful Shi Kou's attack would be after he decided to kamikaze.
If this was reality, Fang Zhengzhi would not hesitate to run.
So what if he had this uncontrollable and domineering killing intent in his heart?
Anyone with a brain would not go up against this attack.
But...
This was a dream.
Could he be scared off by another character in his dream?
Fang Zhengzhi scorned the attack. He did not bother running away, choosing instead to charge towards the attack, the killing intent gathering at the tip of his blade.
"Boom!"
The palm and the sword clashed in the air once again.
The intensity of the light looked quite similar to the previous clash. However, the result was vastly different.
A powerful and domineering force instantly shattered the other purple light and crashed down towards the person below.
"Fang Zhengzhi!"
"What's going on? Why is there so much difference between this clash and the previous one?"
"Did he use up all his energy?"
All of the members of the Dragon Protection Squad looked at the paling Fang Zhengzhi. They did decide to fight for Fang Zhengzhi with their lives.
But...
Fang Zhengzhi had to last until they arrived.
Wu Ji was standing in their way. In order to save Fang Zhengzhi, they had to go around Wu Ji, who was a Rebirth State Demon.
Fang Zhengzhi looked like he had the upper hand in the previous clash with Shi Kou. Normally, even if Shi Kou fought with everything he had, Fang Zhengzhi should not fall immediately.
He should be able to last at least five minutes?
That was what the Dragon Protection Squad thought.
However, what they saw shattered any dreams they had.
The dozens of demon elites, the candidates, and all the soldiers on the battlefield...
Even Shi Kou himself was stunned.
The difference between the two attacks was a little too large to believe.
"What's going on? Why is he so weak?" Shi Kou was stunned. If this was Fang Zhengzhi's true power...
Why did he have to sacrifice his life?
"What's going on? Why is he so powerful?" Fang Zhengzhi was stunned as well. He paled. He never expected that Shi Kou's attack would be this powerful.
My dream...
Why is he stronger than me in my dream?!
Fang Zhengzhi could not understand it, but he had to face the fact. The fact was that the overpowering purple light was plummeting towards him.
"F*ck me!" Fang Zhengzhi shrieked as he blacked out again.
...
Fang Zhengzhi did not know if it was because of Shi Kou's power, or because he was too intent on seeing Yun Qingwu dance...
Regardless...
This was a world that was impossible to describe with words. However, Fang Zhengzhi knew that he had been here before. This was the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet!
The lush green grass and the dense forests, as well as the humongous lake. The water was so clear he could see the bed, but there were no fishes.
Field, forest, lake...
This was the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet.
Fang Zhengzhi did not know if this feeling was right, but when he first stepped into this place from The Vast World, he had a strange feeling.
This time, when he entered in his dreams, he had this feeling again.
"The Heaven Dao Sage Tablet? Why would I come to the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet? That's impossible! Wasn't it destroyed with The Vast World?" Fang Zhengzhi was confused.
From the beginning, he never understood what was going on.
As such...
He decided to try again.
The last time, he had taken a bath in the lake to escape from the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet. That was what he remembered.
He could not be sure, but he decided to give it a go.
He stripped, revealing a silver-colored Heart Protection Mirror. If Nangong Hao saw this, he would confirm what he had guessed.
Watertight Mirror!
One of the seven treasures of the Divine Constabulary!
"I never thought that I would have another chance to bathe in the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet?" Fang Zhengzhi smirked.
However, his smile froze almost instantly.
Because...
He saw a woman. That woman was dancing on the surface of the lake. She wore a white dress, and the figure was extremely familiar.
"It's her?!" Fang Zhengzhi was stunned.
To see the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet in his dreams did not shock him. After all, this was a dream, but to see this woman...
Why would she appear in his dreams?
Isn't this the lady he saw in the Divine Constabulary's Heavenly Treasure Hall?
Fang Zhengzhi remembered that he had seen this lady in the humongous lake. He did not know her name, but he felt a sense of familiarity.
But that was the lake inside the Heavenly Treasure Hall!
What did that have to do with the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet?
He did not understand. By this point, he was utterly confused.
Pearl...
He had found a pearl at the bottom of that lake. That pearl was sitting snugly inside his Heart Protection Mirror. Did this have something to do with that pearl?
Fang Zhengzhi began to look for it inside his Heart Protection Mirror instinctively.
He had many things in the Heart Protection Mirror.
Secret weapons, clothes, food, etcetera. However, he could not find that pearl. It was almost as if it vanished.
Hang on!
It seemed like something else was missing...
Fang Zhengzhi's attention shifted because he felt as though something else had disappeared from his Heart Protection Mirror. It was a black square stone.
When he first saw that stone, it was shining brightly.
"The pearl and stone are both gone? What's going on?" Fang Zhengzhi had no idea what was going on.
Then...
"She looks so familiar, who is she?" Fang Zhengzhi murmured to himself as he gave up on the idea of taking a bath. He simply couldn't bring himself to bathe in front of this lady.
...
At the entrance of the Icy Monkey Settlement.
It continued to pour, the intensity increasing by the minute. However, everyone stopped in their tracks.
They were all looking at the figure bathing in purple light.
That was Fang Zhengzhi.
In fact, when they saw Shi Kou attack and that mountainous wave of force crashing towards Fang Zhengzhi, they knew that it was over.
With the differences in their ability clear for all to see, was there anything else that could happen?
No one expected a miracle to happen.
However, when the purple light crashed into Fang Zhengzhi, the strangest miracle happened.
Everyone thought that the domineering purple light would smash Fang Zhengzhi's body to smithereens. However, when the light hit Fang Zhengzhi...
The result was completely different.
It was a strange sight.
It felt as though the purple light entered Fang Zhengzhi's body. To be more precise, it was as though Fang Zhengzhi absorbed all of it.
How is that possible?!
No one understood what had just happened. Just as they thought that Fang Zhengzhi was going to die, he absorbed the purple light attacking him?
How did that happen?
What...
The f*ck?
No one could figure out what they just saw, including Nangong Hao, Xing Qingsui, Yun Qingwu and even Bai Xing...
This had never happened before. The purple light represented the intense energy from Shi Kou. How could a human body absorb all that energy?
But those were the facts.
It was an indisputable truth.
Fang Zhengzhi stood in the middle of the purple light as he continued to absorb them into his body.
Then, the purple light vanished.
Silence!
Pin drop silence!
There was no other sound other than that of the rain hitting the ground. Countless pairs of eyes stared at Fang Zhengzhi and the purple sword he held in his hand.
The sword was Traceless!
In fact...
There was not a single trace on it other than purple!
"Why aren't you attacking?!" Wu Ji's voice broke the silence. He did not know what Fang Zhengzhi just did, but he knew that Shi Kou had too attack now before it was too late.
"Fang Zhengzhi, die! You must die!" Shi Kou's eyes were filled with rage and awe. He could not believe that Fang Zhengzhi managed to block his attack.
But he had no other choice. He had no time to think because he was already running out of time.
"Die!" Shi Kou raised his hands and he morphed into a ray of purple light. He shot towards Fang Zhengzhi. If Fang Zhengzhi could use such a weird method to block his energy...
Then...
He had to get in close!
The entire space shuddered as black cracks appeared behind Shi Kou. His body was literally tearing through space.
The two bodies clashed and parted in the blink of an eye.
Wu Ji's eyes were filled with fear and shock. Being so close to the action, he could see that Shi Kou was the one who was forced back.
"What's going on? What the hell is this? Could it be that the Heavenly Reflection State Fang Zhengzhi can go up against Shi Kou, who already drained his demonic eye?" Wu Ji could not believe his eyes.
In fact, no one could believe what they were saying.
"Worthless weakling!" An icy, arrogant voice rang out at this moment. This was the voice of a superior individual scorning a weaker one.
Shi Kou had done something similar just moments ago.
He had felt this same rush when he crashed down from the cliff. Furthermore, he had said those exact words.
Worthless weakling!
But now, he was not the one saying these words. Instead, Fang Zhengzhi was saying this to him.
At that moment, Fang Zhengzhi opened his eyes amidst the torrential rain. His eyes were stained a scary shade of purple.
More importantly...
There was a sword embedded inside.
The sword was glowing inside his pupils.
"Hum!" The vast killing intent rushed out of Fang Zhengzhi's body like a tsunami, crashing towards Shi Kou.
"Kaboom!"
Purple bolts of lightning could be seen in the sky, almost as if there were many dragons roaming the clouds. The entire sky seemed to darken.
"Sword in the eye!"
Everyone was terrified when they saw Fang Zhengzhi's eyes. The sheer terror they felt was indescribable.
There were two states when one attained the highest sword techniques.
One was not having a sword in the hand, but having a sword in the heart. The other was not having a sword in either, but the entire person was the sword.
This was known as "Sword Offering!"
He was the sword.
Shi Kou's body stiffened. As a Rebirth State demon, he knew what this was, but he could not believe that Fang Zhengzhi could attain such a state.
That being said...
Even if Fang Zhengzhi managed to reach this state, he still had to fight to the bitter end.
He was a demon waiting to die. What more did he have to think about?
F*ck it! He didn't care if Fang Zhengzhi was in the Sword Offering state!
Fang Zhengzhi had to die!
"Fang Zhengzhi, go to hell!" Shi Kou's body turned into a ray of purple light as he charged at Fang Zhengzhi. This ray of light was even brighter than the previous one.
"Die!" Fang Zhengzhi moved even before Shi Kou did. The sword in his eye glowed radiantly, almost as if it was a real sword.
The strange purple shot to the heavens as it twisted in the air. It combined with the thunder and the clouds, turning into a humongous tree that covered the entire area.
"He's so powerful, why is he so powerful?!"
"Is... is this still Fang Zhengzhi? Why can't I recognize him anymore?"
"Fang Zhengzhi... impossible! Fang Zhengzhi cannot possibly be this powerful!"
All of the candidates looked at the purple tree in the air that was made from the lightning and the clouds. They stepped back instinctively.
The terror in their eyes said it all...
