...
Fourth Elder's face seethed with pain. It did not come from Yan Qing's punch as this punch could not do much harm to him.
However, only someone who had been punched in the face could understand what a humiliating experience it was.
Furthermore...
His assailant was a Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple.
Silence.
The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples around them looked on in shock because they had never expected Yan Qing to 'sucker punch' Fourth Elder like this.
More importantly, he was so resolute when he did it.
"Is Yan Qing crazy?!"
"What 'friend'? What is this guy thinking?"
"Is he not afraid of death?"
The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples could not comprehend what was going on. After all, under the present situation, even a fool knew who had the upper hand.
"Fourth brother..." Second Elder was speechless too. He knew Fourth Elder's personality well. While he was not aggressive, he was prideful.
A punch to his face?
Furthermore, he was punched in front of so many Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples. How could he take such a humiliation?
"Boom!" A huge explosion rang out at this moment. Then, the black claws which were grabbing Fourth Elder were completely blown part.
Just like what Second Elder thought...
Fourth Elder was utterly infuriated!
A light shot into the sky and surged from Fourth Elder's body like seawater. Then, it was rapidly sucked back into his body.
At the same time, Fourth Elder's face shone with a crystalline glow. A bright light flashed on his skin.
Then, he moved.
His sword split into two, one blue and one red. The red one was like fire and the blue one was like water. One blazed with heat and the other one was icy-cold. Two entirely different auras surged forth from the two swords.
"Is this Fourth Elder's Two Swords of Ice and Fire?"
"I have yet to see him use these two swords in a very long time!"
"That's right... I'm afraid Fourth Elder is truly enraged!"
The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples knew the significance of these two swords. One was ice and the other one was fire. The two swords came from a blazingly-hot place and an icy-cold place.
This was also representative of Fourth Elder's life.
He cultivated in an extremely wintry place and trained in a blazingly-hot place before he mastered the two Daos of water and fire. Then, he was able to combine these two Daos from the Dao of the Five Elements into one.
All of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples felt that Fourth Elder would soon transform into his terrifying Water and Fire Saint, a shadow suddenly flew out from behind Yan Qing.
Evidently, the opponent was using Yan Qing's large frame and his body to form an optical illusion.
Of course, none of this was important anymore.
More importantly, the moment the shadow flew out from behind Yan Qing, he kicked out with his feet at the enraged Fourth Elder.
Very fast!
From the moment it appeared to the moment the kick landed, time appeared to have passed in the blink of an eye.
Then, a dull sound could be heard.
"Thud!"
Then, Fourth Elder's body staggered back by five steps. Then, he landed on the ground head first.
"..."
The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples were truly shocked at this moment. No one could have expected Fang Zhengzhi to be able to stand up again. Furthermore, just when Fourth Elder was seething in rage, he took this chance to kick him again?
More importantly...
His feet landed on Fourth Elder's face again.
As they looked at the figure which stood at where Fourth Elder once stood, whose body was caked with blood and clad in torn blue robes, the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples were utterly silent.
"Showing off? I'm not f*cking scared of you!" Fang Zhengzhi's voice rang out. He was not particularly loud but every single Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple could clearly hear his voice.
At this moment, the entire world turned silent. It was as if time had stopped. Everyone froze where they were.
Then...
An enraged roar could be heard.
"Ah!!! Fang Zhengzhi, I'll kill you!!" Fourth Elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, whose dignified position commanded respect, could also descend into rage at this moment. One could imagine how angry he was at this moment.
"Boom boom boom!" The ground started to tremble violently.
Fourth Elder's hair started to dance in the air too. It was no longer tied up nicely in a bun. He looked as if he was only half a step away from madness.
"Fourth brother, calm down!" When Second Elder saw this scene, a feeling of dread rose in his heart. This was because he knew that Fang Zhengzhi kicked him intentionally.
However, Fourth Elder appeared to not have heard Second Elder's words. Getting kicked time and again on the face made him lose control of his emotions.
"Eh? This old man has gone crazy! Are you afraid, Yan Qing?" As Fang Zhengzhi looked at the frenzied expression on Fourth Elder's face, an odd smile crossed his face.
"No, not at all!" Yan Qing shook his head and clenched his fist. At the same time, a beastly light shone in his eyes.
"Let's take him together, shall we?" Fang Zhengzhi asked once more.
"Yes!" Yan Qing nodded his head.
"Ai... it has been a long time since I last bullied someone with numerical superiority..." Fang Zhengzhi lifted his head and recalled the only time he fought when he had more people on his side.
At that time, he was taking part in the Great Xia Dynasty's Imperial Examinations. In that fight, he, Ping Yang, and Yan Xiu took on many people at the same time.
After that fight...
He never had such an experience ever again.
Of course, this joyous opportunity belatedly presented itself to him once more. However, his opponent right now was Fourth Elder, who was completely enraged.
A ray of light!
Just when Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Qing were exchanging words, Fourth Elder struck. He stabbed toward Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Qing with his two swords.
One red and one blue ray of light arrived in front of Fang Zhengzhi at a terrifying speed. It was so fast that the sonic boom it created rang out in the air. Furthermore, behind these two rays of light, the space where they passed by were torn apart.
It was evident that Fourth Elder was extremely fast.
The moment the two rays of light reached, Yan Qing struck. His movement was exaggerated. He reached out to grab Fourth Elder's sword with his bare hands.
Of course, he only grabbed one of them, which was the red one which blazed with a fiery light. The moment he grabbed it, a ball of fire shot into the sky.
Instantly, it started to spread up Yan Qing's arm.
However, Yan Qing's face did not change. It was as if he could not feel that pain of being burned by the flames. The moment his arm caught fire, he kicked Fourth Elder with his leg and this time, he aimed for his groin.
"..." Even though Fang Zhengzhi knew about Yan Qing's battling style, he was still awed by this vicious spectacle before him.
This style was so Yan Qing!
It was insanely wild!
However, since he said that they would take Fourth Elder on together, he could not slacken.
In fact, after Yan Qing grabbed Fourth Elder's fiery-red sword with his hand, Fang Zhengzhi started to move too. If not, there was no way Yan Qing could have kicked.
Just when Yan Qing grabbed the fiery-red sword, Fang Zhengzhi stabbed at Fourth Elder's throat with his sword in hand.
As for Fourth Elder's other incoming sword...
He did not even try to block it.
Only the brave could win.
This did not mean that Fang Zhengzhi did not fear death. However, in a two-on-one fight, it was not hard for him to dodge incoming dangers.
However, it was much harder for Fourth Elder to do so.
Hence, he naturally would not dodge. The reason was simple. If he dodged, Fourth Elder would have grabbed Yan Qing.
This was a form of mutual trust.
Since they said that they would take him together, they had to coordinate their attacks. Yan Qing did not doge and hence, he could not dodge too.
It was vicious.
Both Yan Qing and Fang Zhengzhi exuded viciousness. Faced with Fourth Elder's enraged attack, they chose to...
Face it head-on!
This result of this was evident.
How could Fourth Elder, enraged as he was, retreat? Faced with both Yan Qing and Fang Zhengzhi, he was still confident of victory.
However, Yan Qing and Fang Zhengzhi coordinated with each other seamlessly. Furthermore, they both hit him hardly and shocked him ferociously. As he looked at Yan Qing's incoming leg and Fang Zhengzhi's sword, he shimmered to the side oddly.
With his blazingly-fast speed, he was able to dodge both Yan Qing's kick and Fang Zhengzhi's sword. He positioned himself between them.
Then...
A truly shocking scene happened.
Yan Qing's wild battling style, at a close distance, was absolutely horrifying. He had no fixed way of fighting. As he saw Fourth Elder's side next to him, he did not hesitate as he straightaway head-butted Fourth Elder's head.
"Boom!" The sound of the impact was clear.
The moment the two heads hit each other, 'sparks' flew. Of course, actual sparks were impossible but instead, two streams of blood spurted into the air.
Instantly, blood gushed from Fourth Elder and Yan Qing's heads.
Fang Zhengzhi was slightly stunned too. He knew that Yan Qing was wild and feral. However, he still underestimated how determinedly fierce he was.
As he looked at Fourth Elder's body flying back...
Fang Zhengzhi gritted his teeth as he head-butted the back of Fourth Elder's head.
"Thud!" His head probably was not hard enough and hence, the noise it made was not as clear as Yan Qing's. Instead, it sounded rather dull.
However, head-butting the back of someone's head with the front of your head.
This advantage was clear.
After Fang Zhengzhi head-butted him, he felt slightly dizzy. However, Fourth Elder, after getting head-butted twice (once in the front and once in the back), appeared to lose his capability for rational thought.
Clearly, one could sense that he was enraged.
It was because of his rage which placed him in this predicament. Even though he was powerful, even though he could dodge both Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Qing's attack...
The reality was that...
He suffered a huge disadvantage because of this attack!
In particular, after Yan Qing's attack, Fourth Elder used his greatest weakness to fight Yan Qing's greatest strength. After all, Yan Qing's advantage lay in his close combat skills.
Fresh blood trickled from Fourth Elder's head, blurring his eyes. This made his face turn red and his eyes appeared slightly dazed.
However, Yan Qing was not dazed.
In contrast, he was very aware. Even blood trickled down his head too, it could not stop Yan Qing from continuing his attack.
"Boom!" Another huge explosion.
Yan Qing's head smashed against Fourth Elder's once more. This time, compared to before, it was even more ferocious.
Two balls of blood flew everywhere again.
In mid-air, two bright flowers of blood appeared.
Even Fang Zhengzhi's eyes bulged in shock. From the bottom of his heart, he did not want to head-butt him anymore. However, as he looked at Fourth Elder's body, which was rapidly approaching him, he had no other choice.
This was a long-established principle...
Advance and retreat together!
"Yan Qing, what the f*ck!" Fang Zhengzhi cursed in his heart. He could not help but grit his teeth as he rammed the back of Fourth Elder's head once more.
"Thud!" Another dull sound.
It was very, very dull...
Fang Zhengzhi did not know what Fourth Elder was feeling but he was sure that his own head was spinning. He could differentiate between north, south, east, and west.
All he could see in front of him were stars.
"..."
"Fourth Elder!"
"What is going on?!"
The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples' mouths fell agape. They never expected this to happen in a fight between a Sage and two Rebirth State cultivators.
After all, all these happened too quickly. They seemed to take place in the blink of an eye, from the moment Fourth Elder was enraged to the moment where Yan Qing and Fang Zhengzhi head-butted twice.
Only two breaths' worth of time appeared to have passed.
However, in these two breaths, Fourth Elder seemed to be greatly weakened. His body staggered about as if he was about to fall onto the ground any moment.
This made everyone speechless.
Fourth Elder's greatest strength lay in the combination of the Daos of fire and water.
He did not even use them.
As Fang Zhengzhi looked at the stars spinning in front of him, one thought ran in his mind, "Some people really have a hard head. They could ram a tree with it!"
Thus, if they used their heads to head-butt...
That would not be a problem at all!
