Chapter 753: Killing Everything in His Way – Fang Zhengzhi Goes Berserk!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
There was a saying that went ‘Even if there seemed to be no way out, there’s always an exit.’ By applying this concept to martial arts, it meant to feint an attack in one direction to create a diversion, before striking your opponent at another spot.
Fang Zhengzhi was doing that right now.
Since Dao Hun had successfully s.h.i.+elded his crotch, Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t going to waste any more effort on that area.
He just had to attack Dao Hun’s upper body then.
This was the same as mankind creating its own pathways around the world. As long as a person was willing to venture around, he would be able to find a new path.
After Fang Zhengzhi forced Dao Hun into protecting his crotch with a shameless attack, the lime powder flew towards his eyes without any obstructions.
After all, Dao Hun was guarding his crotch with one hand while his other hand was restrained by the h.e.l.l Near-life Chain. He didn’t have a third arm to stop the lime powder.
“Shameless!” Dao Hun shouted angrily. Although he had closed his eyes on reflex, a good portion of lime powder still made it into his eyes.
More importantly, he was wearing a mask, so the lime powder easily went through the eyeholes on the mask and sealed the holes shut.
Dao Hun couldn’t open his eyes.
He couldn’t take back his hand which was s.h.i.+elding his crotch to dust off the lime powder on his mask either. He was more worried about Fang Zhengzhi attacking his crotch than the lime powder in his eyes.
However, this was a G.o.dsend to Fang Zhengzhi.
He coiled around Dao Hun like a snake after his lime powder attack worked and pulled out a silver chain.
This was the same chain that he used on the woman in the pavilion. Under normal circ.u.mstances, even an expert in the Sage State couldn’t break free from it.
“Clink, clink…” The chain locked up Dao Hun’s legs, abdomen, and his hand that was guarding his crotch.
While Fang Zhengzhi was about to restrain Dao Hun’s upper body, he unleashed a terrifying shock wave.
With that, the air in the entire stone room seemed to have burst into flames, releasing an intolerable heat wave into the surrounding area.
“Fang Zhengzhi, I’m going to kill you!!” Dao Hun’s voice echoed in the stone room and shook the entire 1000 Herb Hall. His horrifying aura was going wild.
The shock wave sent Fang Zhengzhi flying. He then crashed into the failed crucible.
“Boom!”
It hurt!
It was also extremely hot!
However, Fang Zhengzhi couldn’t care less about that now. The only thing he wanted to do was to subdue Dao Hun.
He was so, so close.
Fang Zhengzhi gritted his teeth the moment he crashed into the crucible as he wanted to charge towards Dao Hun again. However, the shock wave from his body was too powerful, and it seemed to be breaking up and combining continuously, creating an intolerable heat wave.
“I can’t give up!”
“But, I can’t get close to him. What should I do?”
“Poof!” At this instance, the h.e.l.l Near-life Chain that penetrated Dao Hun’s arm was broken by the shock wave.
Most importantly, Fang Zhengzhi heard many approaching footsteps, which were followed by numerous anxious voices.
“Hallmaster, what’s going on?!”
“Master…”
“I can’t open the stone door!”
These people were obviously the elders and disciples of Yin Yang Hall. They rushed here as soon as they heard Dao Hun’s angry roar.
“The left eye of the beast on the right!” Instead of protecting his dignity, Dao Hun told them the method to open the stone door.
This left Fang Zhengzhi surprised.
Normally speaking, shouldn’t the master of a sect be more domineering and would rather die than show his weakness to the disciples?
Of course, Fang Zhengzhi surprise didn’t matter.
He didn’t know what Dao Hun was thinking of, but the fact that he asked for help, made Fang Zhengzhi’s heart sink.
The stone room only had a single door.
In that case… Where could he escape to?
“Crack!” With that, the stone door opened. One could already foresee a huge group of Sages coming in to rescue Dao Hun and then beat up Fang Zhengzhi.
“What should I do? What the h.e.l.l should I do?”
Fang Zhengzhi felt like a cornered animal, as he could neither get near Dao Hun nor escape.
“Is it impossible after all?”
Kidnapping Dao Hun in front of all the elders and disciples of Yin Yang Hall was close to impossible.
Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t willing to concede defeat.
“I’m so close!”
“I can’t give up. I can never give up!”
“The only way out is through!” Fang Zhengzhi knew that he had to give it all he had because there was no way back.
Countless ‘trash’ appeared in his hand with his thought, and he threw all of them at Dao Hun without thinking.
“Boom boom boom…” That was the sound of the items being forced back by the shock wave.
However, a blinding white light lit up the entire stone room at this moment.
Flashbang!
Its ability wasn’t affected by the shockwave. After bouncing off the wall, it lit up the entire room with a dazzling radiance.
“Ah, my eyes!” The first disciple to enter the room screamed angrily and covered his eyes right away.
He wasn’t the only one. The other elders were blinded by the flashbang as well.
This was because they were in a hurry to find out what was going on in the stone room, so none of them was prepared against the countless flashbangs.
“Run!” That was the first thought to cross Fang Zhengzhi’s mind when he saw the disciples and elders of Yin Yang Hall falling victim to the flashbangs. He was rus.h.i.+ng towards the stone door at the same time.
However, while he was halfway there, a sudden realization suddenly hit him.
“I can’t run!”
If he ran away now, he would lose his best shot at kidnapping Dao Hun, because he would never allow him to sneak up on him again.
He had to take Dao Hun away.
“But what should I do if I can’t get close to him?”
“That’s right!”
“I can’t go near him, but I can render him unconscious!”
Fang Zhengzhi suddenly remembered that he obtained a treasure from Heavenly Treasure Hall when he was attending the banquet at Divine Constabulary.
The treasure’s name was… Hypnotic Eye!
This was an ordinary treasure that hardly anyone wanted because the enemies must stare at it for 3 seconds for it to work.
However, Fang Zhengzhi had used to hypnotize the entire audience of a fighting ring before.
From there on, Fang Zhengzhi rarely had a chance to use it in battle. He couldn’t even use his flashbangs regularly.
After all, as he faced stronger opponents, they were also better at guarding their eyes and more cautious of sneak attacks.
However, the current situation was different…
Dao Hun’s eyes were already blinded by lime powder. Therefore, there would be a process of opening his eyes and regaining his eyesight. This process could very well last 3 seconds.
Fang Zhengzhi had to take a gamble!
“Dao Hun you piece of s.h.i.+t. You’d have to catch me if you want to kill me!” Fang Zhengzhi scolded Dao Hun as he charged towards him again.
“Shameless b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you’re not getting away!” Although Dao Hun’s eyes were shut, he knew that Fang Zhengzhi was trying to escape after he heard what he had said.
However, how could he allow Fang Zhengzhi to get away?
With much at stake, Dao Hun forced his eyes open and discovered a spot of blue light moving towards the door.
“Heaven Dao?”
“Is he using Heaven Dao to get away?”
Dao Hun would never allow that to happen. Although his vision was blurry and his legs were still restrained by the h.e.l.l Near-life Chains, he still overpowered the chains and bolted towards the blue light.
However, as he got closer, he realized that something was wrong. The blue light seemed to be a jewel instead of Heaven Dao.
There were many halos circling around the blue jewel…
“What’s that?” Dao Hun didn’t react in time. After all, this kind of trashy treasures was very rare in the Holy Region.
However, he very quickly sensed that something was off.
This was because he became dizzier from staring at the blue jewel.
“Something… Something’s not right!” Dao Hun wanted to close his eyes, but it was too late. He collapsed onto the ground like a statue.
Dao Hun wasn’t the only victim; the entire stone room was in chaos.
The elders and disciples that rushed into the room were also looking towards Fang Zhengzhi, and their eyes were equally blinded by the flashbangs.
“Thud, thud, thud…” One after another, the elders and disciples collapsed onto the ground.
“It actually worked?!” Fang Zhengzhi couldn’t believe it himself. However, the reality was that Dao Hun had collapsed, along with several other disciples and elders.
“There’s an exit after all!”
Fang Zhengzhi was excited. In the meantime, he stopped hesitating and dashed towards the stone door while carrying Dao Hun.
“What’s going on?!”
“What’d happened inside, the seventh elder…”
“Who is that? Who got out!”
The disciples and elders that had yet to enter the stone room also realized something was wrong after they saw the elders and disciples in front of them collapsing onto the ground.
However, that didn’t matter anymore.
The only thing that mattered was the person who came through the door. Furthermore, this person was carrying a fainted man on his shoulder.
“Ma… Master?!”
“Hallmaster!”
“It’s Fang Zhengzhi! The person who got out is Fang Zhengzhi!”
“How is that possible? How did he knock master out?!”
The elders and disciples of Yin Yang Hall felt like they were struck by lightning because they couldn’t believe what they saw.
Nevertheless, Fang Zhengzhi, who was engulfed by a black flame, had gotten out.
“Screw off!” Without showing any mercy, Fang Zhengzhi brandished the Traceless Sword and attacked the disciples and elders blocking his way.
Did he become addicted to slaughter?
That was obviously not true. However, given the current circ.u.mstances, he couldn’t care about that. He only had a single thought in mind.
“I’d kill anyone that gets in my way!”
A purple and red sword radiance appeared in the air. Fang Zhengzhi had strengthened the Traceless Sword with the Dao of Asura. This attack was definitely ferocious.
“Boom!”
The entire 1000 Herb Hall trembled. Countless limbs flew into the air, accompanied by streams of fresh blood. Fang Zhengzhi had killed 2 people and injured 10 with a single attack.
However, what was creepy… Was that his attack didn’t manage to split the 1000 Herb Hall’s floor. It only left behind a white marking, as if it was shedding skin.
“Ah!…”
“Ah!…”
Heart-rending screams came from the disciples.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was the one that felt a chill up his spine. This wasn’t because of the screaming, but because of how tough the 1000 Herb Hall was.
No wonder the woman told him where the 1000 Herb Hall was and even taught him how to open the pill crafting room.
She was planning to trap him inside the hall!
Fang Zhengzhi was now certain that if his sneak attack didn’t work, he would never be able to leave the 1000 Herb Hall!
Women were the most wicked after all.
It was a pity that the woman could never possibly envision that Fang Zhengzhi had actually taken Dao Hun by surprise and knock him out.
Of course, Fang Zhengzhi hadn’t succeeded yet.
He needed to escape Yin Yang Hall and bring Yan Xiu away from the pavilion.
“I’d kill anyone who gets in my way!” A tsunami-like killing desire surged out of Fang Zhengzhi and spread into the surrounding area. He was covered by a thick layer of black armor which was engulfed by a black flame, looking like a G.o.d of Death.
