Gate of God

Fang Zhengzhi had no time to think. Since he had already reached the Sword Peak, how could he give up so easily?

Regardless, he had to try if there was a way out.

The only pity was that he had used up all his flashbangs and smoke grenades when he was fighting Tian Xing.

Since he couldn’t distract them, he had to fight them head-on.

“Dragon!”

A purple dragon soared into the sky and roared loudly.

“Slayer!”

“Slash!”

His sword descended from above with a mighty and invincible sword radiance, slashing at the three disciples in front.

“Watch out, this move is extremely powerful!” The disciple standing at the back reminded those in front nervously.

“Don’t worry!” The three disciples in front gritted their teeth and confronted the attack head-on.

“Boom!”

With a loud bang, Fang Zhengzhi’s attack left a mark on the Sword Peak and sent the three disciples flying.

With one move…He had managed to injure all three of them.

“How is he so powerful?!”

“No wonder both the Third and Fifth Elder had lost to him. You’ll only know powerful he is if you faced him head on!”

“Brothers, we have to stop him from leaving even at the cost of our lives. Get close to him and force him into close-quarter combat so that he can’t use his sword!”

The three other disciples immediately joined the fight and bolted toward Fang Zhengzhi.

“Close-quarter combat?” Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up, before he aired his grievance, “Brothers, please don’t get close to me. I suck at close-quarter combat!”

“I’m not your brother!

“Shameless!”

“Don’t be deceived by his words and get too close to him. We need to fight passively. Our goal isn’t to injure him, but to stop him from running away!”

Having realized Fang Zhengzhi’s true power, the trio didn’t face him head-on. Although they rushed toward him, they maintained a safe distance so that they could retreat at any time.

“Really? Are they not falling for it?” Fang Zhengzhi didn’t have time to think of a better tactic, so the only thing he could do was expose his ‘weakness’.

Despite so, his opponents didn’t take the bait!

Worse still, they took turns attacking him. When one of them was fighting him, the other two wouldn’t move a finger until the first person was done.

After a round of exchanging blows, Fang Zhengzhi finally realized how annoying they were. They were the role models of being cautious and careful.

He would even go so far as to reward them for fighting so dirtily.

In the past, Fang Zhengzhi always felt that his tactics were dirty and shameless. His number one principle was to run away if he couldn’t beat his opponent.

“Is this karma?”

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to charge forward and beat them up, but they would retreat immediately if he tried to attack. They weren’t going to face him head-on.

As the saying goes, ‘What goes around comes around’.

Fang Zhengzhi was really out of ideas, he had to ‘catch’ them as soon as possible, or he couldn’t possibly escape.

As he moved his left hand, six rays of different colored lights shot out of the ground and turned into six chains.

Hell Near-Life Chains!

This was the only thing that Fang Zhengzhi could think of that had a chance of restraining his opponents.

“Clack!”

One of the disciples sensed the chains coming, and he wanted to back off, but he didn’t make it in time. One of the chains impaled his leg and brought him to the ground.

“Good opportunity!” Fang Zhengzhi stepped on that disciple’s face and leaped into the air.

“Brother, we’re coming!”

Just when Fang Zhengzhi thought that he could get away, the three disciples that he injured earlier charged toward him again.

They were pale as a sheet, but they looked extraordinarily determined.

Fang Zhengzhi was speechless.

“Do you guys really have to try so hard?”

“Since you are all geniuses, why don’t you guys have the resolve of a genius?”

“You’re supposed to stay alive!”

“Shouldn’t you guys act like you’re injured in order to stay alive?”

“Will the Heaven Dao Pavilion reward you for trying so hard?”

“The Sixth Elder mentioned that everyone will be given another chance to enter the Divine Rain Pond if we can stop Fang Zhengzhi from running away!” Someone exclaimed.

“Another chance to enter the Divine Rain Pond? That’s bullshit! I’ve already destroyed the Divine Rain Pond, so how could…” Fang Zhengzhi was already halfway through his sentence when he realized something was wrong.

“Oh no!”

“I fell for it!”

He had basically admitted that he was the one who destroyed the Divine Rain Pond, ruining any chances of proving his innocence.

“That was treacherous, are they trying to hold me accountable already?”

Only now did Fang Zhengzhi realize that the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion weren’t dumb at all. In fact, they were very smart.

The six disciples fighting Fang Zhengzhi were shocked to their core by what he said.

They weren’t the only ones who were shocked, all the disciples who were chasing after Fang Zhengzhi opened their eyes wide with disbelief.

“This bastard had actually ruined the Divine Rain Pond!”

“That’s a capital crime!”

“Brothers, now that he had personally admitted to destroying the Divine Rain Pond, even Sister Chi Guyan can’t save him anymore. Don’t hold back, if you can’t catch him alive, it’s fine to kill him!” A few disciples exclaimed.

“Die!” The six disciples who originally intended to stop Fang Zhengzhi started charging toward him as if they had gone mad.

Every sword was aimed at his vital spots.

Most importantly, a gigantic flying beast appeared in the sky at this moment.

There was a man with snow-white beard standing atop the beast. He was wearing a white robe and holding a sword that was surrounded by green and white light.

“The Sixth Elder is finally here!”

“Fang Zhengzhi can’t possibly escape now!”

The disciples were relieved to see the Sixth Elder, since Fang Zhengzhi was too powerful.

The six disciples who were blocking Fang Zhengzhi’s way looked extremely proud, as if they had achieved an impossible feat.

“Fang Zhengzhi, you’re not going anywhere!” The Sixth Elder was clearly enraged.

“Old Six, don’t kill him. Leave him to the Master!” Two more figures appeared in the sky.

“The Second Elder and the Fourth Elder!” The disciples felt more reassured.

If the Second, Fourth, and Sixth Elder were all here…How could Fang Zhengzhi escape?

This was what all the disciples were thinking, the six disciples in front of Fang Zhengzhi were also secretly relieved.

As for Fang Zhengzhi…He genuinely laughed. Since a long time ago, there was a type of teammates that were called ‘burdens’. Clearly, the three Elders were burdens.

They already announced their presence before they were actually here.

He had to give it to them, because this was a cool way of showing up.

Furthermore, it made them seem imposing.

However, no matter how imposing they were, it was pointless if they weren’t here physically. After all, Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t going to surrender just because they were imposing.

Most importantly, don’t they know that the cooler they seemed, the more they diverted the attention of the disciples?

Fang Zhengzhi looked at the six disciples before him who had stopped moving, and he wanted to say, “If I don’t make use of such a great opportunity, I will be letting these Elders down!”

Without any hesitation, Fang Zhengzhi charged towards the loudest disciple, brandishing his Traceless Sword.

“Oh no! Fang Zhengzhi is trying to run away!” That disciple reacted immediately when he saw Fang Zhengzhi charging towards him.

However, it was already too late, because he heard a voice beside his ear.

“Heavenly Descent!”

As he heard Fang Zhengzhi’s voice, Fang Zhengzhi had already disappeared, only to be replaced by six rays of sky-blue light.

The simultaneous attack of Six Pillars of Heavenly Descent was too much for the six disciples to handle, because they couldn’t work together like before.

The disciple who was restrained by Fang Zhengzhi’s Hell Nearlife Chains and took a foot to his face, suffered the worst fate.

He had yet to even stand up.

“…” As he watched the sky-blue light that appeared above his head, he wanted to say, “No!”. However, he couldn’t manage to say it.

That was because a foot had landed solidly on his face before he could even utter a word.

“Prepare to die!” The Sixth Elder’s face turned black when he saw the disciple collapsing onto the ground without making a sound. He descended from the sky like a meteor without any hesitation.

At the same time, he attacked with his sword, which was surrounded by green and white light, slashing toward the cliff.
