    Amethyst was a word that originated from the Greeknguage and it meant ‘not easily broken’. That was what Fang Zhengzhi had learned in his previous life.


    He understood more about amethyst because of this knowledge, such as its chemical form and trigonal system.


    Based on this knowledge...


    He created this technique known as ‘Ice Amethyst Hell’.


    Of course, Fang Zhengzhi was never bounded by the secr world, so he obviously abandoned this secr name.


    Hence, ‘sh of Ice and Fire’ was a more befitting name since it was more refreshing and elegant.


    Fang Zhengzhi stood above the amethyst case and nced at Nangong Hao, who was clearly shocked to his core, before casually looking around.


    He felt that there should be apuse.


    However, the fact was that not a single person apuded. Moreover, almost everyone seemed to have frozen at this moment.


    They seemed to bepletely dazed.


    Their reaction was different than that when they witnessed the strange phenomenon in the sky. Although everyone was agape, no one made a single noise.


    There was an eerie silence.


    Time seemed to havepletely stopped at this moment.


    “What the hell is this? Isn’t my move domineering? Isn’t it innovating?” Fang Zhengzhi curled his lips downwards and gave the finger towards everyone around him.


    As soon as he raised his middle finger, everyone’s eyes twitched. Then, they seemed to have regained theirposure, as if they had just woken up from a dream.


    “What... What exactly is that?!” Someone’s voice broke the silence, following which, the entire Heaven’s Peak went into an uproar.


    It felt like someone poured a tub of cold water into boiling oil.


    “Strange phenomenon in the sky! Is that what made the sky... No, is that the technique that appears after the strange phenomenon in the sky? Dao of Amethyst, Dao of Hell, and Dao of Ice and Snow... Oh my god!”


    “How could something like this exist?!”


    “So powerful. How is he so powerful? He’s just 18 years old. If he’s so strong at only 18 years old, what am I? I thought that I’m a genius, what kind of genius am I?”


    “Wait a minute, I think this guy is despising us!” Amongst the noise voices, a disciple finally saw Fang Zhengzhi’s middle finger.


    “Despising?”


    All the disciples jolted. They wanted to be angry. However, for some reason, they couldn’t get mad even though they knew that they were being despised.


    Fang Zhengzhi finally smiled at this moment.


    ‘sh of Ice and Fire’ could be considered the first technique that he had created himself. Hence, it meant something different to him aspared to his other techniques. He was naturally proud of himself when it managed to create amotion and received so much ‘support’ in such a short time.


    “Don’t all of you want to know the name of my technique?” Fang Zhengzhi raised his head and put on an inscrutable look.


    The surrounding disciples nced at each other after they heard him, wondering if they should say ‘yes’ or ‘no’.


    Of course, it was impossible that they didn’t want to know the name.


    However...


    Fang Zhengzhi’s annoying face made it hard for them.


    Therefore, silence ensued after Fang Zhengzhi’s question. All the disciples looked towards Fang Zhengzhi, but they nodded their heads subconsciously.


    “Ok, it seems like you are all hungry for knowledge. In that case, I’ll enlighten you. The name of my technique is ‘sh of Ice and Fire’, isn’t it cool?” As Fang Zhengzhi said that, he pointed towards Nangong Hao who was trapped in the amethyst. His upper body was covered in ice and snow while his lower body was scorched by the ck me.


    “sh of Ice and Fire?!”


    “Perverted!”


    “Shameless!”


    “How could you give such a powerful technique such a shameless name!”


    All the disciples were startled to hear him, but they quickly reacted when they realized the meaning of the name. Then, all of their faces turned red.


    “I knew it, this kid was the one who spoiled Yang’er innocense!” Qian Yu shook her head at this moment and she blushed as well.


    “Yeah...” Lin Mubai nodded softly in agreement.


    However, at this moment, the half-unconscious Ping Yang suddenly opened her eyes. She definitely didn’t look very good and her aura was extremely weak.


    Nevertheless, although she was half-unconscious, she could still faintly hear what was going on around her. She opened her mouth as if she was sleep-talking and said, “sh of Ice and Fire? What’s that?”


    “...” Chi Guyan’s pale face twitched. She nced at the bloody light which was stopped by thest amethyst barrier, before she finally stroked Ping Yang’s hair and replied, “It’s a technique.”


    “A technique? Is it powerful?” Ping Yang asked again.


    “Yup, it’s very powerful...”


    The elders of Heaven Dao Pavilion and Fu Xi Valley, as well as Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi, were speechless when they heard that.


    Meanwhile, although Dao Hun’s expression was hidden, he spat and said, “This kid is really shameless to the core!”


    “Shameless? How could you say that about such an elegant and vivid name? Your minds are obviously not innocent enough!” Fang Zhengzhi sneered when he heard their response.


    “...”


    “...”


    The surrounding disciples and elders became speechless again. Even Xuanji Sect Leader Zu Lian, who was sent flying by Fang Zhengzhi’s lightning bolt and wanted to scold him, held his tongue.


    At this moment, they heard a scream that could seemingly tear the air apart.


    “Ah!!!” The scream came from below Fang Zhengzhi. It sounded extremely angry and chillingly violent.


    Nangong Hao was hardly as angry as he was at the moment.


    Although he didn’t like ttery, it remained a fact that he had been showered by praises and admiration since young.


    Since he was constantly surrounded by this feeling, he slowly got used to it. He was used to being at the top and looking down at the rest calmly, unarrogant and rxed.


    However, that was on the basis of him standing at the top.


    Meanwhile, at this very moment...


    Fang Zhengzhi was literally standing on top of him. Under such a situation, how could he remain calm and collected?


    Boom! A terrifying sanguine light surged out of Nangong Hao’s body like a giant cloud of bloody mist. It exploded in an instant and the st left the amethyst cage trembling.


    “Eh? He’s still resisting?” Fang Zhengzhi leaped into the air.


    Of course, he actually did that because the bloody light was so powerful that his body was sted away.


    Despite that, his posture seemed like he leaped away voluntarily although he was actually blown away. He looked carefree just like a startled bird.


    Then, a sword appeared in his hand.


    He drew his sword!


    A devilish purple light permeated in the air.


    It was Traceless Sword!


    Fang Zhengzhi naturally felt Nangong Hao’s ferociousness clearly, which was all the more reason to prevent Nangong Hao from escaping again.


    Following a dragon’s loud and clear roar, Fang Zhengzhi disappeared in the air. There was only a twisted bolt of purple light rushing towards Nangong Hao who was trapped in the amethyst cage.


    It was Dragon yer sh.


    However, it was nothing like the Dragon yer sh before.


    Crack! The bloody radiance in Nangong Hao’s eyes surged as he grabbed the purple light with his bare hands. The violent shockwave shattered the ground and the loud screech was almost deafening.


    Nangong Hao’s expression was clearly a little vicious. He bit his lips so tightly that they bled.


    “Bang!” Fang Zhengzhi’s voice appeared from the purple light. Then, it suddenly sank and pierced through Nangong Hao’s palm and continued towards his shoulder.


    sh! Blood sttered into the air.


    Traceless Sword whizzed excitedly. The devilish purple light expanded rapidly andpletely absorbed the blood into the de without a trace.


    “Hao’er, no!” Nangong Tian couldn’t remain calm anymore. He took a step forward and was about to rush into the altar.


    However, he was stopped by someone.


    ‘Heaven Dao’ was sewn onto this person’s snow-white long robe on his chest. His long white hair was tied up and he wore a golden headdress which was glimmering under the sunlight.


    He was Heaven Dao Pavilion’s Great Elder, Yan Yin.


    Yan Yin wasn’t the Great Elder’s real name. It was how people in the Holy Region addressed him. It meant that he was the one controlling Enma’s seal.


    Few people knew the Great Elder’s real name. Actually, there were less than 10 people in the Holy Region who knew it.


    Of course, that wasn’t important anymore.


    The important thing was the fact that this man who was known as Yan Yin, was standing in front of Nangong Tian. Although he just stood there silently, he prevented Nangong Tian from taking another step.


    “Yan Yin, what do you want?”


    “Head of Nangong family, since you’ve chosen to join Heaven Alliance Meeting’s Martial Arts Competition, shouldn’t you follow the rules of thepetition?” Yan Yin replied tly.


    “My son’s life...”


    “You’d choose to admit defeat, which would allow you to save your son’s life.” Yan Yin interrupted Nangong Tian.


    “Admit defeat?” Nangong Tian clenched his fists tightly and subconsciously nced at the altar. Then, the concerned look on his face disappeared. He smiled once again and said, “Nangong Nobles wouldn’t admit defeat just because of a mere Fang Zhengzhi. It won’t be that easy.”


    Boom! When Nangong Tian said that, there was a sudden explosion in the altar. Then, the bloody light in the air disappeared without warning.


    The amethyst cage that trapped Nangong Hao also disappeared along with the bloody light. At the meantime, a dash of purple radiance shed across Nangong Hao’s eyes.


    “Hmm?” Yan Yin squinted and gazed at Nangong Hao and the purple radiance that flowing around his body. He was visibly surprised.


    “Hahaha... No one can defeat Hao’er, no one! Hahaha...” Nangong Tian’s unrestrainedughter echoed in the sky.


    All the surrounding disciples opened their eyes wide.


    “Nangong Hao actually devoured sh of Ice and Fire... No, he devoured the Dao of Amethyst?!”


    “What kind of battle is this exactly?”


    “So strong... Both of them are so strong. They are like monsters. Even though Fang Zhengzhi has the upper hand, he still couldn’t take down Nangong Hao!”


    While the disciples were shocked by the intensity of this battle, they both feared Fang Zhengzhi and Nangong Hao from the bottom of their hearts.


    After all, they had never seen a battle of this caliber before.


    “What the hell is this thing?” Fang Zhengzhi softlynded beside Chi Guyan and pointed his Traceless Sword towards the ground.


    “Ke... If I’m right, Nangong Hao went through something special in Heaven-Receiving Door and fused with the Blood Offering Illustration. Hence, he could do more than just use Blood Offering Illustration’s power now. He could even devour other people’s power.” Chi Guyan coughed and replied.


    “Blood Offering Illustration? Is that the thing that appeared in the sky above Heaven Dao Pavilion half a year ago?” Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up when he heard that.


    “Yup.” Chi Guyan nodded.


    “So that’s what happened. No wonder he could use Tian Xing’s bloodline of the Heaven God. I thought that he was as intelligent as I am.” Fang Zhengzhi sneered. Then, he frowned and asked, “Hey... Do you think that he let the Heaven-Receiving Door absorb him on purpose?”


    “On purpose?” Chi Guyan trembled when she heard that, and countless different expression shed across her pale face in an instant. Then, she looked towards Fang Zhengzhi with her bright eyes and said, “If Nangong Hao did that on purpose, it means that he knew all along that the Heaven-Receiving Door would grant him such a power!”


    “Is such a good thing possible?”


    “No, I keep getting a feeling that something’s wrong. Nangong Nobles suddenly appeared at Heaven Zen Mountain, and Nangong Mu also gained a Gifted Bloodline, furthermore, it’s...”


    “Little Mu Mu also has a Gifted Bloodline now?”


    “Yup. Moreover, it’s the gifted bloodline of ‘Tree of God’. Shameless thief, I am suddenly getting a very bad feeling.” Chi Guyan nodded again and her face was turning paler.


    “Is your chest hurting? If that’s the case, I’ve learned a new massage technique and I could soothe your pain with a quick massage.”


    “...” Chi Guyan was startled. Then, she blushed a little and replied, “Shameless thief, how could you crack a joke in this situation.”


    “Haha, rx, I’m here to protect you. The sky won’t fall!” Fang Zhengzhi smiled. However, the smile didn’tst too long because he quickly became calm and serious, rather, he became more serious than he had ever been.
