Gate Of God Chapter 684 Baptism by the Holy Words, An Unexpected Change

"Oh, so this is what they meant by 'go big or go home'?" Fang Zhengzhi felt the immense aura from underneath him as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He felt as if his very body was about to be burned.

Evidently, the only effect of using 'all his powers' was to further enrage Tian Xing.

"Wait a minute!" Fang Zhengzhi blurted out.

"B*stard, what do you want to say? This is your last chance!" Just when Tian Xing was about to rush toward him, he stopped. However, his aura did not change.

"Pavilion Leader Mu, you stopped me from opening my Near-Life Door, which is tantamount to helping Tian Xing. If that's the case, shouldn't you help me once? This will be much fairer." Fang Zhengzhi did not say these to Tian Xing but instead, he spoke to Mu Qingfeng, who slammed his Near-Life Gate shut.

"Help him once? This guy threw his rubbish everywhere and messed up our Heaven Dao Pavilion. If we don't go after him, it's already a form of kindness. Now, he wants master to help him?"

"Heaven know what will happen to the Heaven Dao Pavilion should the Near-Life Gates be opened!"

"Shameless indeed!"

When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, their faces changed as they criticized him non-stop.

Mu Qingfeng's face turned black too. He looked at the Near-Life Gate, which was closed, as he fell silent.

Fang Zhengzhi's words were no doubt shameless.

However, they were not unreasonable. Yet, this was the Heaven Dao Pavilion. How could Mu Qingfeng allow Fang Zhengzhi to open the Near-Life Gate here?

As for helping Fang Zhengzhi secretly…

Impossible!

"If you can live, I'll grant you one thing!" Mu Qingfeng waved his robes and finally gave Fang Zhengzhi an answer.

"So we'll do it like this? Fine!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head.

He naturally knew that Mu Qingfeng would not allow the Near-Life Gate to open in the Heaven Dao Pavilion. However, he could not be blamed for this. Naturally, they still had to talk terms.

Whether he could live or not would now depend on his fate.

"B*stard, do you have anything else to say? My last move will kill you quickly!" Tian Xing was getting impatient.

"What must come… will eventually come!" Fang Zhengzhi sighed. He felt that at this point, his life was difficult indeed. He could not run and he could not fight…

Since there was nothing he could do, he had to fight with all his might. Other than that, he had no other option.

At this point, Fang Zhengzhi did not say anything. He clenched his fists and he pointed his Traceless Sword at Tian Xing. If they were to fight, he could not lose to Tian Xing in terms of aura.

So what if he was the Leader of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain and one of the most powerful beings in the Holy Region? To beat a dog… Wait a minute, he was no dog, and he had no master.

All he could say was a barefooted person was not afraid of someone who wore shoes.

"Bring it on! Don't think I'll be f*cking scared of you just because you have a c.r.a.ppy helmet. Let me tell you, I have yet to use my full strength!" As Fang Zhengzhi said that, he looked at Tian Xing disrespectfully.

"c.r.a.ppy helmet?!"

"He dares to call the armor Tian Xing made with his Blood Source a 'c.r.a.ppy helmet'?"

"He's unbelievably arrogant and shameless!"

"Wait a minute, he said that he has yet to use his full strength. Can it be real?"

"Can we trust his words?"

When the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, their look of disgust turned into anger as they cursed and swore at him.

Insulting Tian Xing was worse than insulting them.

"Master, kill this arrogant b*stard!" The disciples of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain cried out.

"Motherf*cker! Even if I lose, I can't appear scared!" Fang Zhengzhi's mouth twitched. He looked arrogantly at the incensed Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples.

Then…

He moved too!

"You snooze, you lose!" Fang Zhengzhi thought. Before Tian Xing could attack, Fang Zhengzhi unleashed his attack with all his might. Instantly, a purple dragon coiled around his body.

The sword roared. The dragon roared.

The moment Fang Zhengzhi descended, his body started to swirl rapidly and he fused with the purple dragon. He was now a purple draconic streak.

"He attacked first!"

"Is he playing some trick?"

"It must be!"

When the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples saw the descending purple dragon, they were all terribly shocked.

Tian Xing's eyes opened wide too.

He never expected Fang Zhengzhi to attack him first. In his mind, he thought that Fang Zhengzhi would try and buy time for himself.

However, now that Fang Zhengzhi came at him, he stopped hesitating and attacked straight away.

Instantly, Tian Xing disappeared from where he was. He was so fast that the naked eye could not see him.

"Die!" He roared in anger.

"Bring it on!" Fang Zhengzhi roared back furiously. At the same time, a cerulean light appeared at the tip of his sword.

However, the moment the cerulean light appeared, he suddenly felt as if something humongous had charged into the s.p.a.ce in front of him.

The force of impact seemed capable of tearing the s.p.a.ce apart.

Then…

There was no 'then'.

This was because Tian Xing was already in front of him.

He appeared between the cerulean light and him. The suppressive power of his black armor was akin to a mountain.

In particular, much of it came from the golden runes on his armor.

Complex and ancient. However, they seemed to encompa.s.s all creations.

Fang Zhengzhi's body remained where he was. Purple light continued to s.h.i.+ne on his blade. However, he could not stab with it.

He felt disorientated. When he looked at the golden runes, he felt as if they could not be violated. It was akin to a mortal man meeting a G.o.d.

Cloud patterns?

Golden runes?

Before he took the 'Heaven Sage Dao Tablet' from the top of Cang Ling Mountain, he saw cloud patterns and golden runes engraved onto the walls of the huge palace.

After he took the tablet, he saw them again.

For example, he saw it on Wu Feng's emerald-green flute. He also saw it on Emperor Lin Mubai's carriage. When Wu Yuer transformed, he saw the cloud patterns too.

However, he had seen someone who could make cloud patterns and golden runes appear on his armor like Tian Xing, who had combined his Origin Energy and bloodline.

Of course, he should have spoken more with the Heavenly Oasis Saint about the Holy Region and the Sage State.

Sadly, the Heavenly Oasis Saint was too utilitarian. He would only tell Fang Zhengzhi more about the Sage State and the Holy Land if he joined the Shadow Sect.

At that time, he was only in the Supernatural State.

He thought that the Holy Region and the Sage State were distant objects in the future. There was no use concerning himself with them then. Hence, he was rather reluctant.

He could not stab him

What the h*ll!

Fang Zhengzhi wanted someone to tell him if he should continue stabbing or run. This was a very cruel but very real problem.

However, this problem did not bother him too much.

In other words, he did not want to think about it anymore.

This was because Tian Xing's fist had started to move. It was just a simple fist and completely uncomplicated. Furthermore, it was not fast.

However, Fang Zhengzhi's forehead was wet with sweat.

For the first time, he felt the terrifying disparity in strength. He felt like a one-year-old boy facing a mountain-like beast.

The disparity in strength was far too wide. He could not even block a single blow.

"h.e.l.l Near-Life Chains!" Fang Zhengzhi could sense how puny he was in front of Fang Zhengzhi. However, no matter how puny he was, he had to try.

There was no other reason for it.

This was for survival!

"Kacha! Kacha!" The moment Fang Zhengzhi said that, chains appeared in the air and dropped them.

They were red, blue, green…

Very fast!

Instantly, they wrapped themselves around Tian Xing.

This made Tian Xing's fist stop for just a short while. However, the moment that happened, the golden runes on Tian Xing's armor started to move and the h.e.l.l Near-Life Chains started to shatter.

They turned into dots of starlight.

"Isn't this way too strong?!" At this moment, there was nothing Fang Zhengzhi could do. His Heaven Dao, Near-Life Dao, and Traceless Sword all could not hurt Tian Xing.

Of course, he could still try his Dao of Yin Yang.

However, Tian Xing did not give him the time to do so. A thick black light started to s.h.i.+ne. Then, Tian Xing's fist became extremely fast.

It went from slow to fast.

This process seemed very natural. It was like the process of birth to death for all creations. One could not find anything wrong it at all.

"Slick!"

His punch was like a sword.

It was not as impactful as a mountain. However, Tian Xing's fist was like a sword which pierced the water surface as it went straight into Fang Zhengzhi's body.

One punch.

It entered from the front of his chest and exited from the back.

This punch brimmed with power. Every single bit of energy he had was concentrated in this one punch, which was focused on the tip of his fist. This explained how it accelerated.

Fresh blood flowed forth.

It rained down from the sky and landed on everyone's head.

"Fang Zhengzhi!" Emperor Lin Mubai's voice rang out.

"Prince Cang!" Lin Yun, the Xian King, shouted. His face was contorted with agony.

"It appears that no miracle happened!" The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples looked at the blood that rained down from the sky. They knew that everything was set. No miracle would take place.

"Excellent! He's finally dead!" The Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples were all joyous. When they saw the punch enter Fang Zhengzhi's chest, they knew that it was the end for him.

Silence. A very short silence.

After a short silence, Tian Xing's eyes regained their calm. It went from black to becoming as clear as water.

"If I guessed correctly, your heart is on the right, right?" Tian Xing looked at his fist, which was completely in Fang Zhengzhi's chest, and said confidently.

"You noticed even this. No wonder you are the Leader of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, cough…" Fang Zhengzhi coughed and spoke.

However, he was slightly confused too.

This was because he did not know why Tian Xing's fist would enter the right side of his chest. This was completely unlike what Tian Xing had said about killing him.

Right?

Could it kill me?

These questions surfaced in his mind.

Now, however, when he heard Tian Xing's words, he finally recognized that in this world, miracles could happen when they seemed the most improbable.

"I have to admit that you're a genius indeed. Furthermore, your body is unique. Your heart is actually on your right. Even I almost fell for your trick. However, there's nothing I can do about it. The Thousand Years Fire Herb does not belong to you. Hence, I'll take your life!" When Tian Xing saw Fang Zhengzhi admitting it, a smile crept across his face.

At the same time, his black armor slowly dissolved into a thick black light as it re-entered his body.

He used his Blood Source!

Even Tian Xing would need some time to prepare. Doing this was extremely draining. If he had a choice, he would not do so. Tian Xing would only use this move as a last resort.

Furthermore, 30% of his Origin Energy had been drained by Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan. This made him slightly tired.

However, he could not show that now.

This was because…

He was in the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

Other than taking back the Thousand Years Fire Herb from Fang Zhengzhi, he also had to bring his 300 disciples back. How could he continue to let himself being drained?

What about Fang Zhengzhi?

His punch pierced a hole in his right heart. How could he still strike back? Even if he were to ambush him, Tian Xing would not need to use his Blood Source.

"Kaboom!"

At this moment, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. Unlike ordinary bolts of lighting, this was golden.

"Zap!"

The dark and starry night sky was split apart by this golden bolt of lightning. It was as if a huge curtain had been pulled back to reveal an opening.

This scene caught everyone's attention.

"A golden bolt of lightning?!"

"Can it be…"

"This is the Heavenly Prophecy! The prophecy is here!"

"Indeed, the Heavenly Prophecy lands in the Heaven Dao Pavilion. It seems that the target of this prophecy is going to be Senior Chi Guyan!"

The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples looked at the sky, which had been split open. Then, they looked at the bright light that shone from it. Their eyes brimmed with antic.i.p.ation.

As for Fang Zhengzhi…

No one really paid attention to him. After all, to them, he was a dead man. Who would care about a dead man?

"Congratulations, senior!"

"You can finally receive the blessing of heaven!"

"The Chosen One, Senior Chi Guyan, is about to experience a Baptism by the Holy Words!"

Everyone stared at Chi Guyan. When they looked at her, their eyes brimmed with divine reverence.
