Chapter 978: Yan Xiu’s Memory
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sword radiance shone.
Every sword was like lightning. Almost instantly after Fang Zhengzhi caught Dao Hun’s Sword, they reached Fang Zhengzhi at the same time.
“Scram!” A cold yell was heard.
Meanwhile, almost a hundred bolts of purple lightning rose into the sky like purple dragons, producing loud whistles of dragons.
It was a terrifying scene.
The thunder boomed.
The purple thunderous dragons wound themselves around the bodies of the elders of the Yin Yang Hall and tore their robes with their sharp teeth.
Boom!
Boom!
“…”
Bolts of lightning struck from the sky and hit the different elders, causing them to collapse to the ground.
This scene made Dao Hun surprised and angry at the same time.
He was surprised because he did not believe that “Meng Tian” was so powerful. He was angry because he could sense a sneer from Meng Tian’s faze when the bolts of lightning struck the elders.
Crack! The sword in Dao Hun’s hand was snapped into two and he saw a silvery-white radiance striking towards his forehead.
He wanted to dodge but it was impossible.
The radiance was so fast that it was unbelievable.
Slash!
A scene of the “illusionary state” appeared in front of Dao Hun. He thought he saw himself retreat for five steps but he was still standing in front of “Meng Tian”.
Soul?!
His soul left his body?!
“Ghost… Ghost Dao, it’s the Ghost Dao!” Dao Hun wanted to shout but no voice came out as his body was floating like a willow tree.
He wanted to move but could not as his body was restrained by thousands of invisible forces that depleted his strength.
Why did this happen?
Why?!
Dao Hun looked extremely shocked but “Meng Tian” was mocking at him wholeheartedly as though he was looking at an ant.
Buzz! The world in front of him changed and Dao Hun’s expression returned to normal. “Meng Tian” looked extremely close to him.
They were one foot apart but this distance was as like the distance between heaven and earth. He was unable to go past it because he was drenched in cold sweat.
Plop! Dao Hun fell to the ground and knelt in front of Fang Zhengzhi. His sword dropped on the ground with a “ding” and he could no longer hold onto it.
“You… you…” Dao Hun’s legs trembled non-stop and were about to collapse completely to the ground.
It was a bad injury to his soul.
He could no longer control his body. Even though he still had strength, it was as though the strength was not his.
“Not long ago, Lin Ji knelt in front of me like this too.” Fang Zhengzhi raised one of his legs as he said this to Dao Hun who was kneeling in front of him.
Boom!
Fang Zhengzhi stepped on Dao Hun’s head and completely pushed his body down flat on the floor as he kept twisting his feet on Dao Hun’s mask.
“Mmm… you, you dare to kill… me, the Human Alliance… will not… not let… let you off…” Dao Hun wanted to struggle but his body was unable to resist and only could breathe heavily as Fang Zhengzhi stepped on him.
This scene happened too suddenly.
From Dao Hun’s attack to the combined attack of the seniors of the Yin Yang Hall then to how the ten over elders fell on the floor while Fang Zhengzhi directly stepped on Dao Hun.
Everything happened too quickly!
Such that the Human Alliance was unable to react.
This was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that the skills that Fang Zhengzhi showed were more powerful than the skills that Dao Hun showed when he sprang a sneak attack.
It was too astonishing.
He was too powerful!
Dao Hun was not an ordinary Sage but was at the peak of the sage state. At this level, he had the ability to protect himself even in front of Godly State experts.
However, in front of Fang Zhengzhi…
He lost without even defending at all. Moreover, he lost extremely pathetically and could be compared to an egg which is thrown at a stone.
“Sagely Battle God Meng Tian…”
“So powerful!”
“So this is Sagely Battle God Meng Tian’s capability?!”
The disciples of the Human Alliance did not know how to describe what they felt anymore as the powerful force had stunned them completely.
Fang Zhengzhi took a sweeping glance at the surrounding disciples of the Human Alliance, Wu Yuer, Yan Qianli and the Heavenly Oasis Saint.
He saw the astonishment in Wu Yuer, Yan Qianli and Heavenly Oasis Saint’s eyes.
Perhaps…
Even Wu Yuer and Yan Qianli did not expect Fang Zhengzhi to reach such a powerful state.
“This brat…” The Heavenly Oasis Saint opened his mouth and forcefully swallowed his words such that his eyes were bloodshot from holding them in.
.
To the Heavenly Oasis Saint, he had last seen Fang Zhengzhi in the Northern Mountain Village where he was in a state of coma and could be said to be extremely vulnerable
Although he had heard from Wu Yuer that Fang Zhengzhi killed Lin Ji in the Southern Region, it was a difference between hearing it and witnessing it with his own eyes.
“Even the Space-splitting Demon God… was not as powerful as this?” Yan Qianli was a straightforward person. He had experienced a lot of battles and saw a lot of fresh blood and was very rarely surprised. However, he was genuinely surprised by Fang Zhengzhi this time.
One blow helped him to defeat the ten over elders of the Yin Yang Hall.
If nothing went wrong…
Fang Zhengzhi already had the power to willfully kill the Five Sects of the Holy Region, and how old was he? He was not even 20 years old!
Astonishment!
However, apart from astonishment, Wu Yuer, Yan Qianli and the Heavenly Oasis Saint felt heartened.
Fang Zhengzhi grew up and exceeded their expectations.
Therefore, they were definitely happy.
“Senior Meng Tian, Dao Hun was foolish and made a mistake, however, he is after all the Alliance Leader of the Human Alliance, please… please let him off…” Mu Qingfeng felt extremely complicated but he definitely could not bear to see the Human Alliance fight against each other in the face of strong opponents.
“Let him off?” After hearing what Mu Qingfeng said, Fang Zhengzhi looked at Dao Hun.
“Meng Tian… you… you won’t dare to kill… me, even if you are the real Sagely Battle God… you… you can’t afford to become the enemy of humankind…” Dao Hun’s gaze was evil. He wanted to stand up as he had never been insulted and stepped on by others.
However, could he stand up?
Evidently…
Not!
Fang Zhengzhi knew what Dao Hun was thinking about.
To Dao Hun, he knew the battle between humankind and the Monster Race and Demon Race had ended after seeing that Yun Qingwu was caught.
In reality, Fang Zhengzhi shared the same thought when he caught Yun Qingwu.
Since the battle was about to end soon, what should he do for the remaining time?
Even a fool would know what to do next.
Dao Hun was not a fool.
However, Dao Hun was too anxious. After seeing how Yun Qingwu was caught by Fang Zhengzhi, he was sure that if he did not kill Fang Zhengzhi then, he would lose everything he had.
He was a little rash.
However, didn’t everyone have a rash moment?
Most of the times, tragic incidents happen because of a slip of mouth of unintentional acts.
Dao Hun’s rashness was caused by Yun Qingwu.
He wanted to make use of the opportunity while Yun Qingwu was caught by Fang Zhengzhi to attack him and kill him while he sustained “severe injuries” before he got hold of Yun Qingwu.
By then, he would be able to seize Yun Qingwu and command the Monster Race and Demon Race.
After Yun Qingwu landed in Dao Hun’s hands, what could the Human Alliance do even if they were unsatisfied? They could not do anything to Dao Hun.
After all, Dao Hun had a disciple of the Yin Yang Hall with him and the authority due to his leadership of the Human Alliance all these while.
As long as Yun Qingwu is in his hands, he could control the Monster Race and Demon Race and the Human Alliance.
It was a fantastic idea.
However, unfortunately, he mistook Fang Zhengzhi as being severely injured and underestimated Fang Zhengzhi, causing him to make a wrong decision.
“What did you say? I didn’t hear you properly. You said that I don’t dare to kill you… hmm… say that again?” Fang Zhengzhi looked calmly at Dao Hun under his feet and put more pressure on him.
Crack!
A dent was made on the ground.
Dao Hun’s head was touching the ground and the powerful force caused his mask to crack.
“No!” At this moment, a soft but anxious voice of a female was heard and a figure dashed out from the crowd.
Dao Xin!
Dao Xin dashed out and Yan Xiu who was standing beside her disappeared suddenly.
Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi felt chills rising from his feet.
It was a color that was as red as blood. There was also a hint of black that was extremely dull.
Dao of Asura?!
Fang Zhengzhi looked around and one of his hands grabbed behind him. Then, he felt a powerful force collide with his palm.
Boom! Following a loud sound, Fang Zhengzhi took a few steps forward and another slim figure stood at where he was initially.
Yan Xiu!
His black cloak was blown by the wind and the black face cloth on his face gradually dropped to the ground, exposing an extremely slim face.
It was a very familiar face.
Fang Zhengzhi knew this face well. However, the face had a black eye as black as an abyss and a red eye as red as blood.
“You won’t be able to kill him!” Yan Xiu spoke directly and was not afraid of Fang Zhengzhi’s powers. He was like a sharp sword and was fearless despite being blown by the strong wind.
Yan Xiu was still the same Yan Xiu as before…
However…
However, he became someone Dao Hun relied on. His memory of the past was either sealed or completely lost.
“You alone can’t stop me,” replied Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu and Dao Hun who was unable to get up from the ground.
“I will know after I try.” Yan Xiu stretches out his right hand as he spoke and a blood fan with silvery white lines appeared in his hand.
“You don’t have to try.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head and move his gaze away from Yan Xiu to Dao Xin. “I heard that apart from Dao Hun, there’s a Second Hallmaster called Dao Xin, that must be you?”
“Yes… Senior.” Dao Xin stopped for a while. She looked at Yan Xiu and Dao Hun before replying respectfully.
“If you can answer me three questions, I can agree to one of your conditions.” Fang Zhengzhi said after thinking.
He needed answers.
Answers regarding Yan Xiu.
Therefore, he could let Dao Xin and Dao Hun live for a while longer.
However, he could not reveal his identity in order to obtain the answer as he knew that he would not be able to get the correct answer if he revealed his identity due to the hatred between him, Dao Xin and Dao Hun.
“Three questions?” Dao Xin was evidently shocked but after seeing Dao Hun could not get up from the ground, she answered without much hesitation, “Please ask, Senior, I will be truthful.”
“Is Yan Xiu’s memory sealed or removed?” Fang Zhengzhi asked in a straightforward manner.
“Yan Xiu’s… memory?! Senior… Do you know Yan Xiu?” Dao Xin did not expect Fang Zhengzhi to ask this question.
Regarding Yan Xiu’s memory!
This was definitely a secret within the Yin Yang Hall that no outsiders knew about. Moreover, he was a Sagely Battle God who became well-known hundred years ago.
Meng Tian?!
Who exactly was he?
Why did he know about Yan Xiu’s memory?
Questions flashed across Dao Xin’s mind and a name came into her mind. However, she negated this possibility.
That was because it was impossible.
That person was currently in the Northern Mountain Village and definitely would not have appeared there. Moreover, his ability would not have reached such a standard.
“You only have the rights to answer but not question me further. If you don’t speak, Dao Hun will die. You should know that Yan Xiu can’t defend against me.” Fang Zhengzhi did not bother explaining to Dao Xin as he knew that Dao Xin was very intelligent.
