Chapter 760: Identity of the Woman in the Pavilion

The dark-blue seawater splashed around as a person slowly appeared in the air. His long, blue robe was swaying with the wind.

Beneath him, the giant snake’s body finally fell into the sea just like its head.

There was a creepy silence in the next moment.

Meanwhile, the disciples of Yin Yang Hall went slack-jawed when they saw the giant snake collapsing.

“This fellow, he… He managed to destroy the great elder’s Ocean’s Rage with a single sword?!”

“That’s ridiculous!”

“Powerful. They are both so powerful!”

They were truly impressed by what they saw because such a fight was an exceptionally rare occurrence even for them.

However, they couldn’t continue watching the fight as they were surrounded by the fearless disciples of Shadow Sect.

“Die!” The disciples of Yin Yang Hall shouted.

“Kill them!” Shadow Sect’s disciples also screamed at the top of their lungs.

Yan Qianli looked at the 3 sages and said in a serious tone, “Yan Qianli truly appreciates your help…”

“Don’t mention it, Prince Yan. Since we are all part of the Great Xia Dynasty, we share the same ancestors. In that case, we must stand together!” Clear Water Sage stopped Yan Qianli, and an antique black zither appeared in her hands. She looked towards Baiya Saint and said, “Brother Bai, let’s fight!”

“Ok!” Baiya Saint nodded with an intense fighting desire. Without further ado, he charged towards the dozen Yin Ying Hall’s Sages with two swords in his hand.

“Hahaha, the student has surpassed the master. Old man Heavenly Oasis, you might be weak, but your disciple is really something. I’ll fight alongside you today!” Yangkun Saint laughed out loud and joined the battle as well.

“I’m not weak. I’m just concealing my real strength!” Heavenly Oasis Saint shot Yangkun Saint a sneering glance and subconsciously looked towards Fang Zhengzhi with a look of approval. He then swallowed a few pills and joined the battle too.

Yan Qianli… He already charged out at the same moment as Baiya Saint. It seemed like he wanted to compete against Baiya Saint, so he was going as fast as he could.

“Ding…” They heard the sound of the zither. Although it sounded weirdly tranquil in this bloodbath, it was like a weapon.

The sound was a shapeless killer. Although Clear Water Sage was the last to join the battle, she was the one that truly turned the tide. This was because the sound of her zither killed a bunch of people instead of only one.

After the Sages joined the battle, more people started dying. While the disciples of Shadow Sect collapsed, the disciples of Yin Yang Hall started dropping to the ground as well.

The scent of blood filled the air.

This was a mindless massacre. In a war like this, both sides were suffering tremendous loss.

…

Mo Yu had never looked so upset before. His face couldn’t stop trembling and he gripped the spear so tight that his hand turned white.

Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan had both descended and were standing on the sea. However, they both looked extremely determined.

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t say anything because he didn’t know what to say. Chi Guyan also kept quiet because she seemed to know that Fang Zhengzhi was unwilling to talk. She stood quietly beside Fang Zhengzhi with the antique and simple sword in front of her chest. She looked noble and aloof.

The stand-off didn’t last too long, because Fang Zhengzhi made the first move, and Chi Guyan followed beside him. Two swords were heading for Mo Yu.

“Two? Just two?” Mo Yu shouted angrily and formed a huge wave behind him.

Fang Zhengzhi’s sword slashed onto the huge wave, and so did Chi Guyan’s sword.

Tens of thousands of starlight glittered as if each of them was a sword. The humongous and noble shadow moved even faster.

“Freeze!” Chi Guyan shouted softly.

Even the air seemed to have frozen at this moment. The spear in Mo Yu’s hand stopped moving, and his expression changed again.

This was the ability of Nüwa’s bloodline.

It was definitely the highest form of spiritual attack. It was even able to stop Nine Pinnacles Mountain Leader Tian Xing from moving for half a second.

In that case, Mo Yu couldn’t possibly break free from it instantly.

The great elder stopped moving, but Fang Zhengzhi’s Traceless Sword was already above his head.

“Break!” Mo Yu yelled angrily and shielded himself with the roaring waves. Despite that, Fang Zhengzhi’s sword still hit him.

A stream of blood flew into the air.

Traceless Sword had made a small cut on Mo Yu’s chest. Although there was hardly any blood, it was the first time that Fang Zhengzhi had managed to injure Mo Yu.

“Slash!” Traceless Sword stabbed into the sea, following which, countless sword radiances appeared from the waves and headed toward the great elder.

It was Hundred Dragon Slash!

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t hold back because he already understood that there was no going back. He had to keep moving forward.

“Rumble…” Countless roaring swords blasted the seawater that protected Mo Yu’s body, sending waves everywhere.

This was a fierce fight.

Although Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan were teaming up against Mo Yu, he didn’t sacrifice offense for defense. Mo Yu charged towards Fang Zhengzhi instead of falling back when he used Hundred Dragon Slash.

The dark-blue spear tore through the bombardment of swords and shot towards Fang Zhengzhi’s neck like a flash of light.

“Cling!”

Chi Guyan blocked the spear with her sword, and she was forced to move back. However, Fang Zhengzhi’s sword already up in the air, and the countless swords gathered towards Traceless Swords.

For an instant, Traceless Sword became 10 times bigger.

He then split the Endless Sea Region into two again with another strike!

This was an inescapable fight. Although Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan didn’t have many opportunities to fight together, their synergy was enough to frighten Mo Yu.

This was an intense battle.

While Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan fought against Mo Yu, almost 100 of Yin Yang Hall’s disciples were killed. Similarly, Shadow Sect suffered the loss of more than 200 disciples.

The scent of blood was getting so strong that they could hardly breathe. The atmosphere became more depressing. Even though the sun had risen, it couldn’t mask the devastation of the battle.

As time went on, there were more corpses on the ground. Yin Yang Hall’s disciples were running out of breath, while disciples of Shadow Sect couldn’t stand firm.

Yangkun Saint was already bathing in blood. There were many cuts on Clear Water Sage’s face too. Baiya Saint’s swords were completely covered in blood too.

Heavenly Oasis Saint had swallowed 10 bottles of pills already, and Yan Qianli’s eyes were red as blood.

Across the battlefield, the sixth elder of Yin Yang Hall was bleeding. The radiance on the foreheads of the third and fourth elders of Nine Pinnacles Mountain shone brightly. They were surrounded by the dozen disciples at Sage state.

This was a fierce battle too. Although no one was killed, everyone was more or less injured.

It was near the noon.

It wasn’t too hot in the mountain range although it was near summer. The golden sunlight reflected off the river of blood on the ground beautifully.

At this moment, someone approached the battlefield hastily. It was a pretty woman with a jade-green dress that was decorated with 3 white petals.

Her curly brows and dark eyes, combined with the faint herbal fragrance on her body, gave the impression that she was a spirit that descended on earth, completely untainted by the human world.

She was clearly in a hurry. The anxiousness in her expression grew stronger when she saw what was happening before the 1000 Herb Hall.

“Stop!” Her clear and pleasant voice was like a stream of spring water that washed the blood away.

Fang Zhengzhi’s sword stopped.

This was because he knew this woman. She was the woman in the pavilion, and her alias was “Xin Mu”. However, he didn’t stop his sword because he knew her. It was because she was holding an unconscious man.

Fang Zhengzhi squinted, and his knuckles cracked. He didn’t know why the woman was here, but he knew that she was carrying Yan Xiu, and that was the last thing he wanted to see.

There was a short silence.

When Fang Zhengzhi’s sword stopped, both the great elder’s and Chi Guyan’s weapons stopped moving as well.

All the disciples of Yin Yang Hall were dumbfounded to see her. They had never expected her to show up here.

The disciples of Shadow Sect… They obviously didn’t know who she was. However, they could tell that she was very special to Yin Yang Hall.

They knew that because all the disciples of Yin Yang Hall stopped moving when they heard her.

The short silence added a hint of eeriness to the suffocating atmosphere. However, it didn’t last for too long.

“Fang Zhengzhi, I really didn’t expect you to succeed!” The woman was surprised to see Chi Guyan, but she ultimately rested her gaze on Dao Hun, who was on top of Fang Zhengzhi’s shoulder.

“I didn’t expect that you could get out either.” Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t lying, because he clearly remembered that he tied her up properly.

Their conversation didn’t make much sense, leaving the disciples of Yin Yang Hall feeling confused. However, none of them interrupted the conversation.

The woman didn’t seem like she wanted to continue talking about that. She glanced around the battlefield as if she was looking for something amidst the bloodbath.

A moment later, she glimpsed at Mo Yu and asked, “Did you really enter 1000 Herb Hall and got out safely?”

“Yes!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.

“However, you seemed to be corned when you tried to get out and failed to escape. This means that you were already discovered when you entered 1000 Herb Hall.”

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t reply because she was right. He was discovered before he entered 1000 Herb Hall, or rather, he was already discovered when he made up his mind to enter 1000 Herb Hall.

‘If you can force the great elder to fight you, it means that you are really strong. Am I right to say that you injured the fourth, fifth, and eighth elders?”

“Yes!” Fang Zhengzhi didn’t deny it.

“Since I have Yan Xiu and you have my master, why don’t we exchange them? What do you think?” The woman stopped talking and carefully placed Yan Xiu onto the ground.

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t reply immediately, but he knitted his brows.

This time, he didn’t know what to do. Exchanging Yan Xiu with Dao Hun seemed like a very reasonable suggestion.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t have rejected that idea.

However, he didn’t reply immediately not because he didn’t care about Yan Xiu’ life. On the contrary, he couldn’t give Dao Hun back to the woman because he cared about Yan Xiu’s life.

If he were to reject her suggestion… How could he take Yan Xiu back?

“Don’t you want to save Yan Xiu?” After the moment, the woman asked another question. She wasn’t surprised that Fang Zhengzhi didn’t reply to her previous suggestion.

“Tell me your name!” Fang Zhengzhi finally replied. However, the question that he asked seemed to be completely unrelated to what the woman was asking. Furthermore, he had already asked her about her name in the pavilion. Nevertheless, he did it again.
