Chapter 772: One in a Thousand Years

“What if I have never planned on escaping?”

“Never planned on escaping…”

Fang Zhengzhi’s voice rang in the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, shocking all of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples. They looked at this colossal figure and thought that his words may be too arrogant. However, no one dared to say anything.

This was because Fang Zhengzhi was not running away!

“Cough… Fang Zhengzhi, I never expect you to try and start a fight between the Nine Pinnacles Mountain and the Yin Yang Hall before you die. Do you think that you’re being too naïve?” A trickle of blood ran down Great Elder Ying Yu’s mouth as he stared intently at Sixth Elder, who was underneath Fang Zhengzhi’s palm, with an icy-cold look.

After all, it was not a good feeling to be exposed by someone else. No one would admit to this.

“Hurhur… So I’m trying to start a fight between the two of you? Right, this makes sense. So why don’t you come and save Sixth Elder of the Yin Yang Hall?” Fang Zhengzhi did not mind this statement at all.

“You…” Ying Yu narrowed his eyes and he frowned. He clenched his fists tightly.

As the next leader of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, he had to consider many things. Right now, the most pressing issue was whether he should save Sixth Elder or not.

If he saved him, would Sixth Elder still harbor a grudge in his heart? Would this affect the ties between the Nine Pinnacles Mountain and the Yin Yang Hall?

If he did not save him, how could he make sure that no one would suspect the involvement of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain?

“Leader!” Four elders looked at Ying Yu as they awaited his decision.

“Fang Zhengzhi, do you think that we won’t dare to attack you just because you seized Sixth Elder? Sixth Elder is a true hero. Do you think he will be your hostage willingly? He’ll know when to sacrifice for the greater good,” said Ying Yu through gritted teeth as he looked at the four elders.

“Oh? This thinking is not bad. It’s truly representative of the Five Sects of the Holy Region!” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the ‘terrified’ Great Elder Ying Yu and a smile crept across his face.

Since he entered the Holy Region, he was able to understand the internal conflict among the five sects. While they claimed to be from the same source, they all fought with each other and schemed against each other. There were much more brutal fights than the one right now.

When Sixth Elder heard this, his face changed. He naturally knew that Ying Yu wanted to sacrifice him.

More importantly, like what Ying Yu said, under this circumstance, it was forgivable even if Ying Yu did not reach out to help him.

“Fang… Fang Zhengzhi, you… you can’t kill… kill me! If you kill me, you have absolutely no hope of escaping… anymore!” Sixth Elder’s voice was terrified. Evidently, he did not want to die.

To be fair, no one in the world wanted to kill. Against all odds, he became a Sage and his lifespan was already longer than usual.

“However, they want me to kill you. What should I do?” When Fang Zhengzhi heard Sixth Elder’s voice, he lowered his head and looked interestedly at him.

“Can’t… can’t kill…” Sixth Elder wanted to say more but as he spoke, he realized he had no energy to continue his sentence.

This was because a force, which was as heavy as a mountain, came crashing down onto him and smashed his heart instantly. “Crack!” With this sound, his body lost all energy.

He was unwilling.

He was unwilling to die. In the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, in front of hundreds of disciples, he had been taken hostage and yet, he was still killed.

Why?

Sixth Elder did not understand. Until the moment he died, he did not know why Fang Zhengzhi had chosen to kill him. Was this because Ying Yu’s attempt to trigger him failed?

Perhaps Fang Zhengzhi never planned on using him as a hostage anyway.

His vision blurred and he was unwilling to die. However, his heart had been shattered and his neck was twisted. No matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but die.

“Now, I have no hostage on me anymore,” said Fang Zhengzhi as he looked at Ying Yu and the hundreds of disciples. His sparkling eyes were extremely calm and he said that as if it was something normal.

Then, from underneath him, hundreds of Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples looked at the dying Sixth Elder and exhaled a breath of cold air.

“He really killed him!”

“He really killed Sixth Elder!”

“Without a hostage, how can he escape?!”

The Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples naturally did not believe that Fang Zhengzhi really fell for Ying Yu’s ruse. They knew that he was not dumb.

However, Fang Zhengzhi really did kill Sixth Elder. Furthermore, he killed him so determinedly.

There was only one possibility. Everything Fang Zhengzhi said just now was true. From the start to the end, he had no intention of escaping.

How arrogant must a person be to oppose the entire Nine Pinnacles Mountain?! This was the most extreme way of looking down at his foes.

“To be honest, your nine cauldrons are really good. They can be used to make pills and weapons. Why don’t you give them to me?” Fang Zhengzhi’s voice rang out once more.

“How dare you! The Nine Cauldrons are the top treasures of our sect. We have them since the day the sect was founded…” The four elders were finally enraged. However, before he could finish, he was interrupted.

“What is this cauldron called? Oh, I remember now. Middle Stream Cauldron. You used it to cultivate me? I shall take it first then,” said Fang Zhengzhi as he walked up next to the Middle Stream Cauldron and put it in his chest, ignoring everyone around him.

“Do you want to die?” The four elders were incredibly enraged.

Before hundreds of disciples, Fang Zhengzhi took away the top cauldron of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain. This was not just looking down on them. This was a massive humiliation.

They moved together even though Ying Yu did not issue any order to them. Together, they moved decisively. Their bodies turned into four rays of light as they charged toward Fang Zhengzhi.

Then, Fang Zhengzhi looked at the eight other cauldrons while completely ignoring the four elders. “What’s this called? Does anyone know? It’s fine, I’ll take it first. Actually, I don’t really care about the details.”

“Whoosh!” As he said that, he took another black cauldron away.

At the same time, the four elders were already behind him. Amidst a terrifying pressure, four rays of cold light, which were as fast as lightning, zapped Fang Zhengzhi’s back and his neck.

“Can I take another cauldron?” Fang Zhengzhi’s voice rang out once more. Instantly, his humongous body turned around.

His fist, which was covered with his black armor and black flames, hit the four elders which were charging toward him.

This attack had no technique in it.

However, it was enough to make all four of them freeze up. It was as if someone had paralyzed them.

Then, under the disbelieving eyes of the disciples, the four elders were swept away by this fist as they flew away.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“…”

After four booms, four more craters appeared on the ground. Every single one had an elder inside it. One of them had a look of disbelief in his eyes.

They could not believe it.

This was because they had clearly seen his fist. Normally, by dodging his fist, it would not be difficult for them to then kill him.

However, they were all struck by this fist.

“It’s the Heaven Dao!”

“This fist controlled the restrictive capabilities of the Heaven Dao!”

“D*mn it!”

The four elders were all enraged. However, other than being enraged, they remembered what was strange about this fist. This was because they were instantly immobilized by it and they could not move, which caused them to be struck by Fang Zhengzhi.

“Speaking of it, shouldn’t you be thankful for me? Once I have the Nine Cauldrons, you won’t have to worry about them getting damaged by the environment, right? Eh… this one has a nice pattern and it’s really exquisite. This is nice too. If I plant flowers in them, I wonder how fragrant will they be?” After Fang Zhengzhi knocked the four elders back, he went back to his cauldrons.

As he spoke, he took another two of them.

“Kill, kill him!” Ying Yu finally opened his mouth. This was because he could not take it anymore. In other words, no one from the Nine Pinnacles Mountain could endure such a humiliation.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

After hundreds of disciples from the Nine Pinnacles Mountain heard his order, they all sprang into action. Rays of light shone from their bodies.

However, when they really rushed forward, they discovered, to their shock, that hundreds of disciples stood on top of the rock.

“Everyone is here? Is it too crowded?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples, who were coming toward him like raindrops, and a smile curled across his face.

This scene, coupled with his 30 meters high body, would send chills down a normal person’s heart. In fact, the moment Fang Zhengzhi said that, a chill ran down their hearts.

This was because a terrifying pressure appeared above their heads. It was an incredibly large diagram. Around the diagram, eight balls of black fire burned.

Hell Dao!

Most importantly, the Hell Dao covered the entire giant rock on the Nine Pinnacles Mountain. On the ground, a similar diagram appeared.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“…”

Some of the weaker disciples of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain were crushed by this huge pressure. Coupled with the huge attractive force on the ground, they could not even stand up.

“Ah!”

“Ahhh!”

Screams of pain rang out in the air. Instantly, the hundreds of disciples who led the charge fell.

Fewer than ten could stand up.

Among them, four of them were the Nine Pinnacles Mountain’s Sage State disciples and the others were exceptional Rebirth State disciples.

Even so, this scene was shocking.

The biggest difference between the Sage State and the Rebirth State was the disparity in strength. It was like between an adult and a child.

Of course, this did not mean that a child would definitely lose to an adult all the time. If the child was gifted enough in fighting, he would still stand a chance.

However, in terms of pure strength, there was a difference between an adult and a child.

Right now…

The Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples could clearly sense this disparity. In particular, as Fang Zhengzhi had control over the Hell Dao, it became more obvious.

At this moment, the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples realized something. They were all genii but the one who could control the Six Rebirth Daos was the genius among the genii.

Hence, when someone who mastered four of the Six Rebirth Daos appeared in front of them and was able to become a Sage successfully, he could not be simply described as a mere genius.

A prodigy?

They could use these two words. However, countless of prodigies had appeared over the long history of the Holy Region.

None of them, however, could master four of the Six Rebirth Daos.

No word could describe him because nothing like this had ever happened before in the Holy Region.

This was the first time this notion appeared in their minds. The reason why Fang Zhengzhi did not escape was that he had no reason to.

“Do you really not know the name of this cauldron? Fine, I’ll name it myself. I shall call it the ‘Prosperity Cauldron’. This shall be the ‘Lucky Cauldron’. Eh… this one has flowery patterns. I shall call it the ‘Peach Blossom Cauldron’. Let me pray right now. I hope I can find someone who’s kind, sweet, and knows how to do chores. She must be able to cook well and looks like…. looks a bit prettier than Chi Guyan!”

When Fang Zhengzhi’s voice rang out, the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples were utterly silent.

“…”

No one said anything. They all looked at the cauldrons Fang Zhengzhi took as their eyes bulged.
