Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chi Guyan who was below him. He felt slightly awkward and he did not why Chi Guyan has so much faith in him.


    Motherf*cker...


    "This b*tch’s eyes are so bright, but can’t she see that I’m already using my full strength?"


    "What does she mean by ’all my powers’? I’ve been using all my powers!"


    Fang Zhengzhi was not dumb. When fighting against someone like Tian Xing, he could not afford to hold back or wait for a chance to strike.


    One only held back if one fought against a rookie.


    Fang Zhengzhi wanted to retort but he did not know what to say. He quietly looked at Chi Guyan for a while and suddenly, he felt as if he had not used his full strength.


    Of course, this was different from what he previously thought.


    This was because his full strength here referred to a treasure.


    "Let’s do it!" Fang Zhengzhi gritted his teeth. After all, this was thest move. If he managed to resist it, he would live. If not, he would die. Nothing else really mattered.


    Instantly, a powerful fighting intent rose into his mouth as if someone had given him an adrenaline shot. All of the pain he felt disappeared from his body.


    It was very encouraging.


    Then...


    Fang Zhengzhi moved too.


    Heshed out quickly with his hands. Then, as his hands moved about crazily, ’treasures’ fell from the heaven like rain.


    Instantly, the light from these ’treasures’ illuminated the dark sky. This light was truly able to light everything up as it fell like rain down onto the earth.


    "What is that?"


    "It must be some powerful treasure!"


    "I never thought that this person will have such a powerful treasure!"


    The disciples from the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Nine Pinnacles Mountain Treasure looked at the rain of light falling from the sky. They were all shocked.


    Quickly, their shock was reced by incredulity.


    This was because, as the light fell, they discovered the truth behind the light. However, they could not ept it.


    "They appear to be... nails?!"


    "Other than nails, there are also many flying needles..."


    "Senior, I think I saw a beast trap. Oh wait, two beast traps!"


    "..."


    Instantly, the air turned solid.


    What could be more humiliating than attacking the Leader of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, one of the five sects of the Holy Region, Tian Xing, with needles, nails and beast traps?


    Nothing!


    Absolutely nothing!


    In fact, there seemed to be no end to the nails, needles, beast traps, knives, daggers, and other things that Fang Zhengzhi was throwing out.


    "Ding ding ding!" A clear noise sounded next to Tian Xing. This was the noise of metal hitting against metal. It was pleasing to hear, but it did not match the current atmosphere.


    "This b*stard..." Tian Xing was dazed. He looked at the dots of light that were falling down around him. Instantly, he was speechless too.


    He was not the only one...


    The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples were all speechless too. They were stunned into silence by Fang Zhengzhi’s ’bravery’.


    They were not alone. On the Heaven Academic Altar, Emperor Lin Mubai, the Xian King Lin Yun, and the other two emperors and princes, as well as Mu Qingfeng who was normally very calm, were all stunned.


    "They really are nails?!"


    "Why does he have all these things on him?"


    "What does he want to do?"


    No one knew what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking, and no one knew what he wanted to do. All they knew was that he was throwing them out very quickly. He showed no sign of stopping.


    "Kaboom!"


    "Kaboom!"


    "..."


    Just when everyone was speechless, a huge explosion boomed next to Tian Xing. It was the sound of the earth being split apart.


    "Such sharp needles!"


    "No, these aren’t normal needles!"


    "They definitely cannot be. They were forged specially. In terms of sharpness or material used, they are definitely exceptional. They are like high-quality weapons!"


    "But they’re still just nails..."


    "Yes..."


    The explosions that rang out naturally made the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion and Nine Pinnacles Mountain realized that these nails were not ordinary. However, were they useful?


    No. Not at all.


    "Are theypletely useless?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the ’treasures’ that bounced off Tian Xing without hurting him and he was speechless too.


    His treasures did note about easily.


    These nails, in particr, were of a very high quality. He spent a lot of effort obtaining them. He stole them from the Heavenly Oasis Saint’s treasure vault and then, he forged them with much difficulty into nails.


    As for the others...


    His razor-sharp hidden weapons were able to kill someone in the Heavenly Reflection State and Supernatural State without any problem at all.


    However, Tian Xing lived up to his name!


    "I can’t hurt him, but I can wear him down!" Fang Zhengzhi did not give up. After one whole year, he had many treasures on him.


    He continued to throw treasures rapidly with his hands. Countless nails rained down. Among them, there was a ck, technologically-advanced ’bun’.


    "Kaboom!" When the ck ’bun’nded, it truly shocked the disciples from the two sects.


    This was because it gave off a blindingly-white light, which inflicted a prickly pain on their eyes.


    "What is that?"


    "My eyes!"


    "Cough cough cough! What’s that smell?!"


    After the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Nine Pinnacles Mountain had their eyes pierced by this blinding light, they felt an unbearably thick smoke assaulting their nostrils.


    Instantly, light shone everywhere and smoke rose.


    "It seems that advanced technology has its uses!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the Heaven Academic Altar, which was nowpletely shrouded by smoke and light, and felt a sense of satisfaction.


    He continued chucking.


    He took this chance when everyone’s eyes were closed and the entire Heaven Academic Altar was shrouded in smoke, to continue throwing objects!


    "What other stuff does this shameless guy have?"


    "It can’t be! He still has so many objects after throwing so many already? He really likes ’trash’!"


    "Eh? What’s that?"


    A light started to shine on the bodies of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples. This forced the thick smoke away from them. One of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples looked as shocked as if he had discovered a new continent.


    This action naturally made the other disciples raise their heads. Quickly, they saw a huge ck shadow falling from the sky.


    It was big and it dropped quickly.


    "Kaboom!"


    The huge ck shadownded on Tian Xing’s head. Then, it rolled to one corner.


    However, as the huge ck shadow rolled, the entire ground started to tremble before cracking apart. Splits appeared in the ground like the patterns on a turtle shell.


    It was a shocking scene.


    The Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples who had just been mocking Fang Zhengzhi for throwing his ’trash’ opened their mouths wide in shock. They looked in disbelief at the ck figure, which was tilted to the side.


    It was a huge bronze-green door.


    "Is that the Near... Near-Life Gate?!"


    "Impossible! He threw a Near-Life Gate?!"


    "Why does he have a Near-Life Gate?"


    Everyone looked instantly at the Near-Life Gate, which gave off an ancient aura. They could not believe what they were seeing.


    "Eh? Near-Life Gate?" Fang Zhengzhi suddenly felt awkward. He looked at the door that he threw out identally, which bounced off Tian Xing’s head and was now lying on its side. Beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.


    Oh right...


    This was embarrassing.


    After the Battle of the me Capital City, Fang Zhengzhi personally told Emperor Lin Mubai that the Near-Life Gate was stolen by Qian Wu as thetter retreated. He did not manage to retrieve it.


    What he really did was to hide the Near-Life Gate in the Vast World.


    "Will the emperor me me?" Fang Zhengzhi could not help but look at the Heaven Academic Altar, where Emperor Lin Mubai and the Xian King Lin Yun stood dumbfounded.


    They did not seem to be scolding me.


    It seemed that the emperor really had the magnanimity of an emperor.


    Fang Zhengzhi did not think anymore. After all, it was no time for exnation. This was because he suddenly thought of a n as he looked at the Near-Life Gate.


    This n made his eyes shine.


    "Oh right, I still have a Near-Life Gate. This is a supreme treasure of the Holy Barbarian Empire!" Fang Zhengzhi naturally would not use the Near-Life Gate like a hammer, which was what he had done in the me Capital City. Now, he had mastered the Near-Life Dao and hence, he knew the uses of this supreme treasure.


    He stopped hesitating.


    Fang Zhengzhi’s hand shone with a six-colored light. Then, he cried out, "Near-Life Gate, open!"


    Then, as he shouted, the tilted Near-Life Gate started to shine with an ancient green light. The originally-closed Near-Life Gate started to open.


    "Clonk, clonk!"


    "Ah wu...."


    "Boom!"


    Dots of faint light started to shine from inside the Near-Life Gate. At the same time, he could hear the roars of beastsing from it.


    "It actually opened?" Fang Zhengzhi was delighted. If he could summon eight to ten Demon Kings from it, it would be excellent.


    "Oh no, he opened the Near-Life Gate!"


    "This is the Heaven Dao Pavilion!"


    "He can’t open the Near-Life Gate here!"


    When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw the Near-Life Gate light up, and when they heard the roars of beasts from inside, their faces turned.


    At this moment...


    A figure rushed forth. His long white robes were very eye-catching in the thick smoke. His snow-white hair and beard looked like those of an immortal.


    Of course, Fang Zhengzhi knew that this was no immortal, but the Pavilion Leader of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, Mu Qingfeng.


    However, he did not know what he was doing.


    Just as he was pondering this question, he saw Mu Qingfeng standing in front of the Near-Life Gate. His snow-white robes billowed in the wind.


    He mmed down with his palm.


    "Boom!" A dull sound rang out.


    It was as if it came from a primordial clock. The sky and the very dimension shook. It was a powerful palm.


    What was even more shocking was that the Near-Life Gate, after being struck by this palm, started to shine with a six-colored ball of light. Something appeared to be expelled from the Near-Life Gate.


    Then...


    "Crackle crackle!" A sound could be heard.


    The half-opened Near-Life Gate was forced shut. The light disappeared and the roars of beasts were gone too.


    "..." Fang Zhengzhi opened his mouth.


    He wanted to curse, "Old man Mu! Are you helping the enemy?" However, when the words reached his tongue, he swallowed it once more.


    Shutting the Near-Life Gate with just one palm?


    Indeed, Elder Mu had been concealing his strength.


    He was in the Sage State too. However, this disparity in strength was far too wide.


    Fang Zhengzhi was shocked. However, this did notst long. Firstly, he knew that Mu Qingfeng did not want the Heaven Dao Pavilion to experience another cmity. Hence, he could not permit it.


    Secondly, he knew that while he was someone who could easily kill someone who had just entered the Rebirth State, Mu Qingfeng was the leader of one of the five sects of the Holy Region, the Pavilion Leader of the Heaven Dao Pavilion. He was definitely no pushover.


    Thirdly, he did not have much time to consider this problem anymore. This was because Tian Xing hadpleted his preparations.


    "You little b*stard, I’ll kill you!" Tian Xing’s voice boomed. His face was very ck, like a thundercloud.


    To be fair, this was not his fault.


    How would the Leader of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain feel if one attacked him with nails, needles, knives, daggers, beast traps and other assorted objects?


    How would the Leader of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain feel if someone threw a Near-Life Gate on his head?


    He felt humiliated!


    This crossed his bottom line.


    Tian Xing did not say it, but the rage in his heart burned like an intense ball of fire. His head was so hot that it was almost smoking.


    As for the shbang that Fang Zhengzhi threw out, it only made him angrier...


    However, no one knew.


    What everyone could be sure of now was that Tian Xing was fuming.


    "Kaboom!" Tian Xing’s body sank suddenly and an explosion rang out from underneath his feet. The gravel under his feet was shattered instantly and turned into powder.


    Then, his clenched fists started to make the air crackle.


    The solidifying ck armor on him had finally solidified. Golden runes shone on top of it, giving off rays of metallic light.


    At this moment, Tian Xing’s tiger-like eyes were incredibly ck. A terrifying aura could be felt from his body, which rushed straight into the sky. He seemed to be the only one in this world.
