"Shut up, that was because you fought dirty and shamelessly. Otherwise, how could you be strong enough to kill 5 Sages!" The fifth elder shouted angrily.
"Am I the shameless one for fighting against 5 opponents? So, the 4 of you are ganging up on me because I'm shameless?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the crowd disdainfully.
However, he knew that the logic of 'winner takes it all'. If he lost the battle today, it didn't matter who was shameless.
This was because history was always written by the victors.
Dao Hun's body wasn't too heavy. On the contrary, it was light enough that it wouldn't affect Fang Zhengzhi's fighting ability.
Actually, the reason Fang Zhengzhi didn't keep him in The Vast World was not that he wanted to use him as a shield. It was because The Vast World had become the replacement of his Small Dimension.
In some sense, The Vast World wasn't different from before. At the very least, it had no trouble with storage. However, since it was no longer an independent world, it lacked an important component - air.
Since there wasn't any air in The Vast World, Fang Zhengzhi could only keep Dao Hun's body inside for a short while. Long-term storage was impossible.
As for threatening his opponents with Dao Hun's life… Fang Zhengzhi did think of that at one point.
However, for some reason, he didn't want to do that. Perhaps it was because the idea reminded him of the time when Yuan Rong, one of the three Sages of Black Moon Island, caught Yan Xiu.
Pain, that reminded him of true, heartfelt pain.
Of course, the main reason was that he knew he wasn't capable of doing that. In fact, when he saw the Endless Sea Domain, he already knew that even if he were to hold Dao Hun hostage, it wouldn't help him in any way.
That was because he couldn't possibly be faster than the three men he was facing. Furthermore, although Mo Yu had unleashed the Endless Sea Domain, he hadn't actually attack Fang Zhengzhi directly so far.
It felt weird.
It was like an unwritten rule between Fang Zhengzhi and Mo Yu. As long as he didn't threaten to kill Dao Hun, then Mo Yu would only play a supportive role in this battle.
This didn't actually feel good.
Fang Zhengzhi felt like a caged beast. No matter how ferocious he was, he couldn't break free of the impregnable cage.
The great elder, Mo Yu, was the impregnable cage.
Despite that, Fang Zhengzhi didn't have a second option. He could as fight back as much as he could for a chance to break free.
The fifth elder wanted to say something at this moment.
However, Mo Yu shook his head at the fifth elder and spoke to Fang Zhengzhi, "You knew your plan was impossible, yet you carried on with it. I don't think you came to Yin Yang Hall for revenge!"
"Does that even matter anymore?' Fang Zhengzhi replied with a question.
"Hmm, it doesn't matter indeed. You've killed Shi Fan, knocked out our Hallmaster, and even severely injured 3 of our elders just now. The only solution is to kill you!" Mo Yu nodded his head.
"In that case, make your move." Fang Zhengzhi held the Traceless Sword tight and stood up again. His killing desire surged, but he seemed like a tiny boat in the ocean that could capsize at any moment.
However, he looked determined. The Rebirth Plate rotated slowly in his eyes, glowing with 4 different colours.
"Die!" The 3 elders charged towards Fang Zhengzhi without any hesitation.
Instead of surrounding him from 3 directions, they attacked his head-on because they knew that he wasn't capable of stopping their blows anymore.
The deep-blue seawater started seething.
It turned into a vortex beneath Fang Zhengzhi, applying a massive suction force on his body.
Despite that, Fang Zhengzhi didn't even glimpse at the seawater at his feet. All of his attention was on the 3 elders. At this moment, his sword moved.
He held his sword high, pointing its tip towards the sky.
The sunshine reflected off the tip of Traceless Sword, giving it a golden red radiance.
Then, Traceless Sword stabbed into the ground instead of the 3 elders.
In the next moment… As soon as his sword went into the ground and pierced through the rolling waves, the entire ground shook. After that, countless rays of light shot out of the waves.
Those lights were swords.
Each and every one of them was a chilling sword.
Every sword was both purple and red, and as dazzling as a dragon. Countless dragon-like swords shot up from the waves and stabbed towards the 3 elders.
"Hundred Dragons' Slash!" Fang Zhengzhi whispered that softly as if he was talking to himself. However, the Traceless Sword in his hand appeared to be overly excited. Its demonic purple radiance grew brighter and brighter as if it wanted to devour the sky.
"What!" The fifth and sixth elder's expressions changed. They truly didn't expect Fang Zhenzhi to still be able to attack them.
They were amazed that because Fang Zhengzhi should have already exhausted his Origin Energy.
However, what they sensed on Fang Zhengzhi, was an endless amount of Origin Energy, just like the Endless Sea Domain.
The 3 elders instinctively tried to dodge his attacks.
However, there were so many swords coming out of the waves that they couldn't possibly dodge them. Instead, they were covered by a barrier of light.
They were protected by the light barrier, as well as the armours made of the seawater.
Their defence was extraordinarily powerful.
Nevertheless, they felt like their barriers were useless against the swords as soon as they collided.
"Boom!" The sixth elder's barrier was the first to be broken. The sword continued to stab into the seawater armour on his body.
"Crack!" It made a crack on the armour.
That wasn't the end. The second sword was fast as lightning, and it stabbed into the armour again.
"Old Six!" The fifth elder wanted to save the sixth elder, but he couldn't even protect himself. The swords were terrifyingly sharp, and his own armour was broken as well.
How could he lend a hand to the sixth elder?
"Damn it!" The second elder shouted angrily. His chest started emitting a green light.
The light was faint, but it acted like a quagmire and slowed down all the swords in its vicinity.
This was a thrilling and shocking scene.
The disciples of Yin Yang Hall were speechless. They had never expected Fang Zhengzhi to keep fighting.
Moreover… He even forced the second elder to employ one of Yin Yang Hall's best treasures –"A Strand of Cold Fragrance".
Cold Fragrance was rumoured to be produced at the deepest corner of a snow mountain. It was a type of Thousand Year Mountain Spirit, but it gave off a cold fragrance, hence the name.
This was an exceptionally precious treasure that could freeze everything in an instant, but it could only be used once. This was why it was called 'A Strand of Cold Fragrance'.
Since the swords had stopped moving, they obviously lost their power.
The fifth and sixth elders were visibly relieved.
However, at this moment, Fang Zhengzhi bolted towards the two elders.
"He moved!"
"This guy wants to initiate an attack at this point in time!"
"Has he gone mad!"
The disciples of Yin Yang Hall couldn't believe what they saw, but it actually happened. He dragged his Traceless Sword through the seawater, drawing a thin line of froth.
Fang Zhengzhi wasn't moving too quickly because the waves were opposing his movement. There was a ripple with every step he took.
The disciples were shocked to their cores by this scene.
Similarly, the great elder, Mo Yu, turned grim for the first time. Normally, he only looked like that when he faced the few strongest experts in the Holy Region. However, this time, he turned grim while facing Fang Zhengzhi.
"I have to save Yan Xiu, I'm so close… I must save Yan Xiu!" Fang Zhengzhi looked straight ahead while he murmured to himself. Although those around him couldn't hear a single word, he could hear it clearly.
"Die!" Fang Zhengzhi's roar shook the heaven. He pulled out his Traceless Sword from the sea and brandished it towards the centre of the 3 elders.
At this moment, all the swords that were stopped started moving again. Tens of thousands of light spots gathered towards the Traceless Sword, making it more than 10 times bigger.
His sword descended.
"Bastard, you're courting your own death!" The fifth elder was about to take the Traceless Sword head-on.
However, he heard a voice at this instance.
"Old Five, don't fight it. Dodge it!" It was the second elder. He was running away as he spoke.
The sixth elder was also moving to the side. He was ready to dodge Fang Zhengzhi's blow as soon as he saw it coming.
"Dodge it!" The fifth elder didn't seem like he wanted to do that. There were 3 of them fighting against Fang Zhengzhi at the same time, and the great elder was even helping them with his Endless Sea Domain.
With their advantage… How could they dodge his attack!
The fifth elder couldn't bring himself to do it. It wasn't about his strength anymore, rather, it was the dignity he had as a Sage.
The fifth elder eventually decided to take the Traceless Sword head-on, with an all-out attack as well.
His sword lit up with a dazzling radiance like a star in the night, attracting everyone's attention.
"Star Destroyer!" The fifth elder turned into a stream of light as he flew upwards. There was a black radiance glowing on his blade, and it looked like it could go off at any second.
However, that never happened.
This was because Fang Zhengzhi's sword had descended. It was a simple attack, but its vigour rivalled that of a mountain.
The radiance on fifth elder's sword wanted to unleash its power, but it was suppressed by a terrifying force. The radiance could only cower around the blade until eventually, the blade shattered.
"Crack!' The sword broke.
The fifth elder's eyes opened wide. He had never imagined his sword to break before he could even unleash his attack.
However, that was the harsh reality.
Fang Zhengzhi's sword was still descending, but his sword was already broken.
"No!" The fifth elder screamed in agony. At this moment, he finally realised how powerful Fang Zhengzhi was.
He also understood why the second and sixth elder would give up their dignity as a Sage and dodge Fang Zhengzhi's attack without even trying to block it.
However, it was already too late.
He couldn't back away anymore. He helplessly watched the Traceless Sword cutting into his arm.
The crystal-clear armour made of seawater couldn't stop Fang Zhengzhi's sword at all, just like his own sword.
His blood… Spewed into the air.
That wasn't the end of it. The sword continued crashing towards him with a seemingly endless power.
At this instance, the fifth elder saw a pair of eyes. The eyes were clear and translucent, but there were 4 colours spinning slowly on a plate.
It was creepy, but the fifth elder sensed death.
