Gate of God

Could it be the three elders of the Heaven Dao Pavilion?

Impossible!

Barring the fact that they were right in front of them, the Heaven Dao Pavilion’s stance was a tacit acknowledgment of the tactic of using Yan Xiu as a hostage. Naturally, they would not ambush him.

So what if it was not the Heaven Dao Pavilion?

Who else could it be?

Yuan Rong had no idea at all because he never expected anyone to ambush him. Although he was not mentally prepared for it, the moment he felt the chill, he reacted to it appropriate. Straightaway, he made a black light screen appear behind him.

After all, under his present situation, he could not just let Yan Xiu go. Hence, the most important thing for him to do was to block the ambush.

The black screen of light rose like a barrier.

The moment it appeared, a huge sound resounded. Then, Yuan Rong felt a powerful force hitting the light screen.

There really was an ambush?!

When Yuan Rong felt this powerful energy, he turned to look behind them. Then, he saw a pair of eyes, a pair of very sharp eyes.

Evidently, it was a youth.

His elegant robes, which were inky-green, were slightly torn. His skin was dark and he had powerful muscles. He looked like a wild beast from the jungles.

“Where did this guy come from?!” Yuan Rong was shocked. After all, the person who appeared in front of him was totally unlike what he had imagined.

He was not ethereal like a normal Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple. In contrast, he brimmed with a wild aura.

Who was it!

Who was this rascal!

Yuan Rong was infuriated.

Of course, Yuan Rong’s anger provoked a huge commotion. The Heaven Dao Pavilion elders and disciples all noticed him.

“It’s Yan Qing!”

“He ambushed Yuan Rong?!”

“What’s going on?”

The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples did not fully understand. After all, Yan Qing was supposedly a Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple just like them.

Hence, they did not pay too much attention to him.

However, it was evident that Yan Qing’s behavior was not ordered by the elders. His actions went against their orders.

“Yan Qing! You…” Sixth Elder clearly saw Yan Qing ambushing Yuan Rong. He was just about to say something when something made his eyes bulge.

This was because after Yan Qing’s fist landed on the black screen, he did not stop.

A figure rushed out from the calm lake. The figure gripped a long spear tightly in his hands, which seemed to be formed entirely from blood-red light.

A Sage!

This was Sixth Elder’s first reaction. His second reaction was to question why did a Sage appear? After all, he attacked Yuan Rong together with Yan Qing.

Most importantly, the blood-red spear was…

The Dao of Asura!

“It’s Yan Qianli!” Fourth Elder blurted out even though he had not yet seen his face.

For someone who became a Sage via the Dao of Asura and could attack Yuan Rong at this moment, there was no one else other than Yan Qianli who was capable.

“Big brother, be careful!” Second Elder of the Black Moon Island noticed the figure which leaped out from the lake. An intense look of panic appeared in his eyes.

However, it was far too late.

This was because the blood-red spear had already pierced the black screen. Furthermore, it penetrated it with a powerful force and instantly made a hole.

“Pssst!” The blood-red spear pierced into Yuan Rong’s shoulder. Then, Yuan Rong’s body was lifted up into the sky.

“You dare to hurt my grandson! I’ll f*cking kill you!” The Sage cursed in an un-sagely way.

Then, countless red rays of light, which were raindrops, surged from the guy’s figure as they attacked Yuan Rong.

It was a fluid and fast motion.

Yuan Rong’s face turned pale. It was not because of his shoulder injury. However, the moment he was lifted up into the air, Yan Xiu fell into Yan Qing’s hands.

“Ah!” Yuan Rong was unwilling to accept it.

He could not accept the fact that just as the mission was about to be completed, it was interrupted once more by another unforeseen event.

However, he really did not expect two ambushers. Furthermore, one came from behind and one came from in front at such a close proximity. There was no way he could escape.

He roared in fury and frustration. His body started to exude a thick black light, which received the blood-red rays of light shooting flying toward him.

“Boom boom boom…” Explosions rang out non-stop at this moment.

“Yuan Rong, get Yan Xiu back! You and you, go and help him! I’ll…” When Shi Fan saw this scene and noticed that Yuan Rong was being forced into a retreat, he finally panicked.

This was because if he really lost a valuable hostage like Yan Xiu, both his mission and his plan could not be successfully completed.

Shi Fan was seriously panicking.

However, he did not finish his sentence because suddenly, he realized something. His most important task right now was not getting Yan Xiu back…

Instead, he should try and escape his dangerous predicament.

This was because after Yan Xiu had been rescued, the truly dangerous person was Fang Zhengzhi.

Shi Fan thought about it but it was way too late. His reaction was still too slow because Fang Zhengzhi, who had been lying on the ground, lifted his head.

At this moment, Shi Fan could see a pair of crystalline eyes staring right back at him. These eyes were cold, colder than permafrost. A chill went down his back.

Fang Zhengzhi said nothing.

Perhaps there was no need to speak.

However, the moment Fang Zhengzhi lifted his head, Shi Fan felt an intense pain. Then, he realized that Fang Zhengzhi was no longer grabbing onto his leg.

Bright-red blood flew everywhere.

At the same time, a leg was sent flying too.

At this moment, Shi Fan finally realized why Fang Zhengzhi clutched so tightly to his leg. No matter how he kicked him, he did not let go.

However, what he could not understand was…

How did Fang Zhengzhi predict the ambush? It was completely impossible to do so as no one could have known that there were people coming to rescue Yan Xiu.

Unless Fang Zhengzhi had pre-planned all of it. However, how did he do it? What was his method?

Shi Fan did not understand, but the intense pain drove him mad.

“Ah… Fang Zhengzhi, I’ll kill you!” Shi Fan’s body tilted to the side. However, his extreme rage allowed him to stab, with his black sword which he clutched in his hands, at Fang Zhengzhi’s chest at a lightning-fast speed before he fell down.

“Ding!” A clear sound rang out.

It was slightly pleasing to the ear.

However, when Shi Fan heard this sound, his face turned ugly. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead like rain.

“Kill!” A murderous cold voice reached his ears and a powerful killing aura, which was as vast as the ocean, surged toward him.

Then, Shi Fan felt a sword-like energy surge toward his chest. This razor-sharp force tore painfully at his face.

At this moment, Shi Fan finally understood. Someone who possessed the Heavenly Rebirth Dao, the Near-Life Dao, the Hell Dao, and who possessed the bloodline of the Heaven God like Leader Tian Xing…

Was an absolute demon!

“Boom!” An intense pain ripped through his body and Shi Fan’s body was sent flying. Then, he landed heavily on the ground.

At the same time…

Fang Zhengzhi quickened his pace. He rushed toward where Shi Fan had landed and streams of light swirled around his Traceless Sword. Then, he stabbed Shi Fan’s chest.

All this while, Fang Zhengzhi had been practicing a stratagem. “If the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move. If the enemy moves, I’ll go berserk…”

This stratagem could be summarised in one sentence.

He would not give his enemy any chance!

Fang Zhengzhi did not give Shi Fan any chance. He had no interest in playing with him. Sometimes, an opportunity would only present itself for a fleeting moment. Hence, he could not let it go.

However, just when his sword was less than two inches away from Shi Fan’s chest, a radiant golden light illuminated the sky.

Then, a golden radiance which took the shape of a huge crystalline sword dropped from the sky. It was positioned right in front of Fang Zhengzhi’s sword.

“Boom!” A huge sound.

Fang Zhengzhi could not help but take a few steps back. He looked at two figure who stood next to each other in the distance.

Second Elder and Fourth Elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

Fang Zhengzhi knew that this was their sword move. Earlier, he was only able to escape it by running away.

Right now, this sword blocked him from the front. Furthermore, it prevented him from landing his killing blow on Shi Fan.

“Accept your fate, Fang Zhengzhi!” Second Elder looked at Fang Zhengzhi and his eyes shone with a faint light.

“After I kill them, I can consider providing an answer to Mu Qingfeng back at the Heaven Dao Pavilion,” said Fang Zhengzhi after a momentary pause.

“No, you’re wrong. When I say ‘accept your fate’, it does not mean answering your actions in front of Pavilion Leader. Instead, I want you to die right here and right now for destroying the Divine Rain Pond!” Second Elder shook his head slightly. Then, he looked at Yan Qianli and Yan Qing, who held Yan Xiu in his arms, and said, “Yan Qianli! The Heaven Dao Pavilion helped you to save Yan Xiu. If you have no other matters, please leave! Yan Qing, return Yan Xiu to Yan Qianli!”

“No, you’re wrong. I did not save Yan Xiu for the Heaven Dao Pavilion. Only Fang Zhengzhi gets to decide whom I can return Yan Xiu to. Do you want to order me around? You are not worthy!” Yan Qing looked at Second Elder and replied bluntly.
