Gate of God Chapter 213: The Most Powerful Strike

Chapter 213: The Most Powerful Strike
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
This fist naturally belonged to Ying Shan.
For the first time, the distance between Fang Zhengzhi and Ying Shan was reduced to a brushing of shoulders. Actually, a better description would be a brushing of the head.
How quick!
Fang Zhengzhi exclaimed to himself. However, his actions didn't stop.
Squating deeply was a matter of skill.
This matter of skill naturally wouldn't be just a simple squat.
When one squatted all the way, it also meant that the power in his body had reached an explosive point. It was just like a bow being drawn suddenly.
As such, after squatting deeply, Fang Zhengzhi very naturally continued with another action.
Thousand Years of Pain!
Under normal circumstances, the best position to use the Thousand Years of Pain would be behind a person's body. However, Fang Zhengzhi had always been somebody who didn't care too much about the details.
Being behind had its benefits, however, being in front… had its own advantages as well.
The Blazing Qilin Spear and the sword naturally wasn't suited for such a move. Hence, When Fang Zhengzhi squatted down, he had already kept these two weapons into the Heart Protection Mirror.
Thus, he could use this move without any worries.
Furthermore.
He definitely could put in all the power he had.
"Kill!"
Fang Zhengzhi pressed his palms together. Using all the strength he could muster, he pushed towards the position on top of his head.
Did this move hit its target?
Actually, one could know based on the feelings coming from his two hands alone.
"Boom!"
Compared to Ying Shan, Fang Zhengzhi's power was naturally somewhat lower. However, it was impossible for the power of a strike that contained all his strength to not be immense.
In addition to that, the target of this strike was among the most vital parts of the human body.
Furthermore, it was an extremely soft part.
One hard, while the other soft.
Actually, the outcome of this could be imagined...
Fang Zhengzhi didn't know if Ying Shan would feel the pain.
However, he could hear the sound of something shattering. Most importantly, he felt Ying Shan's body tremor. This was a tremor that truly originated from the soul.
"Ah!"
At this moment, even a man as powerful as Ying Shan shouted out with a sound that came from the depth of his soul. Then, he retreated. He advanced fast, but retreated even faster.
The entire world seemed to have turned silent at this moment.
Nobody could understand what had just happened.
It was too fast…
So fast that nobody was able to observe clearly.
All they saw was Ying Shan moving, then, disappearing. The next moment, Ying Shan appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi. Then, Fang Zhengzhi seemed to have squatted then. After that...
Ying Shan retreated.
He even let out a shout when he retreated.
This voice sounded very desolate. Furthermore, it carried some peculiar form of shame and anger.
Everybody's gaze instinctively shifted to Fang Zhengzhi.
Thus, somebody saw the posture Fang Zhengzhi was in before he had time to pull back his hands.
They had no idea what kind of technique this was. Because, there were never any books that mentioned it, nor were there anybody who had described it to them. However, they could see where this technique targeted.
Then, they looked towards Ying Shan.
Very quickly, they realised that Ying Shan's face was distorted in a rather exaggerated manner. He was unable to resist the trembling in his legs, and furthermore, he even instinctively pressed his legs together.
"Don't tell me...?!"
"Seems like, it is that place?"
"..."
When this thought flashed across their minds, everybody instinctively reached out their hand and used it to cover a certain part.
Pain…
Even though they didn't experience it personally, they could imagine that kind of pain.
Nangong Mu's gaze towards Fang Zhengzhi suddenly turned somewhat strange. He believed that he had read all the books in the world, however, he had never seen this technique before.
Even though this technique wasn't very morally upright.
But, what he was more concerned about was, how did Fang Zhengzhi think of this?
Because…
Ying Shan's movements were too fast. It was so fast that simply nobody would have time to think. However, Fang Zhengzhi's reaction was mysteriously fast. Not only was he able to use the action of squatting to avoid Ying Shan's punch, he was even able to add in a continuation to utilise this technique.
It was definitely impossible for Fang Zhengzhi to have thought of this on the spot under such circumstances.
Then, there was only one explanation. This technique had always existed within Fang Zhengzhi. Or, it could be said that he had either used it before or practiced it before.
Ping Yang's clear eyes at this moment seemed somewhat stunned. However, after the moment of shock, her small face suddenly flushed red. She looked at Fang Zhengzhi and huffed very shamelessly.
"Shameless!"
Yan Xiu definitely wouldn't scold Fang Zhengzhi for being shameless like Ping Yang did. Instead, he looked at Fang Zhengzhi, then pressed his palms together and tried mimicking Fang Zhengzhi's movements for a few times.
Fang Zhengzhi felt the various types of gazes coming towards him from all around.
He was somewhat confused.
Why does everybody's gaze seem so strange after seeing this Thousand Years of Pain? Don't tell me they don't know the beauty of this technique?
Didn't I manage to cause Ying Shan to retreat? Why is nobody praising me?
Don't tell me that this world…
Didn't contain such a move?
When Fang Zhengzhi thought of this, a trace of understanding suddenly rose within him. So that is the case.
He had initially felt that the reason his move succeeded was due to its continuous flow. However, now it seemed like the true reason why his move was successful was because this technique simply didn't exist in this world.
Since that was the case, Ying Shan naturally wouldn't be able to expect Fang Zhengzhi to employ such a move.
That, was the critical reason for Fang Zhengzhi's success.
And next, Fang Zhengzhi realised something even stranger. He had initially felt that Ying Shan would be able to recover very quickly. After all, Ying Shan was of the Supernatural State.
Even though this move was deadly, it was ultimately impossible for it to cause any severe injuries.
However, Ying Shan didn't seem to be as calm as before. Instead, he bit down on his lips very tightly. That pain had even caused sweat to appear like raindrops on his forehead.
"What is this all about?" Fang Zhengzhi was very confused.
When Yan Xiu heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, he looked towards Ying Shan. There wasn't too much of a shock in his expression. Instead, he looked as if everything had been expected.
"Ying Shan had completely absorbed the power of the demon eye into his body. Hence, he had lost all Supernatural abilities. However, his power and speed had completely surpassed his initial Supernatural Intermediate State." Yan Xiu explained.
"This is possible?"
"The cost of this is that after fifteen minutes, his power would be gone completely."
"This means that we must drag for fifteen minutes?"
"Yes."
Fang Zhengzhi understood. However, what he also understood was that these fifteen minutes would be easy to drag. The reason he was able to cause Ying Shan to retreat a moment ago was completely because of luck.
However, luck cannot shine on a person forever.
Hence…
He still had to think of a way to defeat Ying Shan.
On the other hand, Ying Shan naturally wouldn't give him any time. After his face contorted in the extreme manner. Ying Shan finally moved again. He took a step forward, but a slight tremor continued to run through his body.
It was likely due to the extreme pain.
Yan Xiu blocked in front of Fang Zhengzhi. Because, he could tell that Ying Shan's target was Fang Zhengzhi. As such, blocking Fang Zhengzhi was the same as blocking Ying Shan's attack.
Nangong Mu also blocked in front of Fang Zhengzhi.
His expression was very calm. However, his eyes were filled with determination. There was no reason for this. He just stood right at the front, holding the Green and Blue Dual Blades and pointing to the front.
"Work together!" Two words came out of Nangong Mu's mouth.
"Okay." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"Yes." Yan Xiu also nodded.
As such, the three youths stood together. Fang Zhengzhi stood in the middle, Yan Xiu stood on the left, while Nangong Mu stood on the right.
The other examinees exchanged glances. Then, two people stood out.
Among them, one was Wang Chuanping, the person who Fang Zhengzhi had let off in the first round.
The other was a middle-aged man.
"My name is Wang Manxin. I am Chuanping's cousin. Since Chuanping had stood out, I will stand out as well." The middle-aged man spoke.
"Nicely done!" A clear voice sounded out. Then, a figure appeared beside Fang Zhengzhi, wearing a Red Flame Flower Armor that flashed with a red glow under the light.
"What are you doing here?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ping Yang.
"I am wearing the Red Flame Flower Armor, I can take at least a blow!" Ping Yang raised her tiny head high, with an air of arrogance and determination.
"You are going to be my meatshield?"
"Hmph, your words are always so annoying. This is called sharing delights and common hardships. Don't you know?"
"The meaning of sharing delights and common hardships is sharing your food and suffering together. Then, can you share half of your treasures in the Ping Yang Residence for me to play around with?"
"Dream on!"
"Shut up!" When Ying Shan heard Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang quarreling like kids, he finally couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't even be bothered to care about the pain in his body. In an instant, his speed had actually reached an extreme state once again.
"You are all going to die!"
Ying Shan's enraged roar reverberated in the air.
A smoke-like shadow charged towards Fang Zhengzhi with a blazing speed.
Nangong Mu's sword had also moved at this moment.
A green and blue glow lighted up. Without any form of dodging. It slashed down directly towards that shadow.
Yan Xiu had also opened the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan. A light that was as bright as the starry skies glowed from the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan, crushing down on the shadow with the force of a mountain.
Wang Chuanping and Wang Manxin's body also lighted up, using their two different types of territories to protect the six people.
However, the clash they expected never happened.
"On top!" An alarmed cry came from an examinee at the back.
The six of them raised their heads at the same moment.
In the sky, a black shadow was plunging down rapidly.
Fang Zhengzhi had no idea how Ying Shan achieved this. However, Ying Shan did indeed manage to do so. Charging at them head-on with an extremely fast speed, yet suddenly appearing at the top.
Nangong Mu's sword had already slashed forwards, while Yan Xiu's Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan had also been used.
Then, the only people who were able to defend against Ying Shan's attack seemed to be Wang Chuanping and Wang Manxin's double territories.
Fang Zhengzhi could initially wait until Wang Chuanping and Wang Manxin fended off this blow before he attacked. However, since the both of them had stood out, that meant that in a way, they were like ants on the same string.
He naturally couldn't let these two people get injured as easily.
Hence, he moved.
Holding the Blazing Qilin Spear and the sword in his left and right hands respectively at the same time, he thrusted out towards the black shadow that fell from the sky.
Can the sword and spear be used together at the same time?
Fang Zhengzhi didn't think so. However, if he had ten hands, he definitely wouldn't mind grabbing ten weapons to fend this off.
"No, it isn't the top! It's below!" Right at this moment, another voice sounded out. That was the severely injured Xing Qingsui.
"Below?!" Fang Zhengzhi startled.
Then, he suddenly felt as if his legs had been trapped by something, just like a pair of metal cuffs locking his feet and preventing him from moving.
"Die!" A voice came from below the ground. Immediately after, a palm rose out of the ground. This was a knife-like lam. It was blazing fast and carried along with it an intense and powerful killing intent. The target was Fang Zhengzhi's throat.
Fang Zhengzhi believed that it was already exceedingly difficult to change from a mad charge to an attack from the top.
However, he had simply never thought that Ying Shan would actually still have something up his sleeves.
The shadow on top was an illusion.
The attack from under the ground was the real, deadliest blow.
This was experience. An unparalleled amassing of battle experience. At the same time, this was the most powerful technique that made Ying Shan the Vice Domain Chief in the Ying Domain of the Ten Devilish Domains.
Double Shadow Kill!
Even among the demon race, there were rarely people who had seen this move.
This was a deadly move with the intent to kill.
It was Ying Shan's most powerful killing technique, combining the five Daos of shadow, sunlight, earth, Asura's kill intent and immobilisation.
Using sunlight to project the shadow on the ground into the sky, then lighting the sky up with an intense glow, causing people to be unable to discern whether the shadow was real or fake. Then, immersing into the earth to reach beneath people's feet, first immobilising the opponent, then unleashing the killing intent of Asura.
It was very complicated.
And, most importantly, it was very fast.
So fast that people would have no way of reacting.
Fang Zhengzhi's thoughts were as boundless as the sky, however, he had no experience fighting with elites in the battlefield. Hence, he naturally wouldn't be able to see through Ying Shan's move.
Even though Nangong Mu and Yan Xiu were experienced, how could their experience match up to that of Ying Shan?
Furthermore, with Ying Shan's current abilities, it would be rather impossible for the six of them to fend off Ying Shan's relentless attacks even if it was a head-on collision.
Under such powerful anger.
Ying Shan had actually given up unleashing it head-on. Instead, he chose to employ such a mysterious sneak attack and killing blow. The endurance of his mind could be clearly seen.
Furthermore, Wang Chuanping and Wang Manxin's territory mainly defended them against attacks from the top and around them.
As for an attack from below the ground.
It was evidently extremely weak. This also ensured that Ying Shan's attack didn't meet with much resistance. His speed was also so fast that nobody was able to see it clearly.
Fang Zhengzhi was able to think of methods to defend against people hitting his face.
However, in his previous world, he had completely zero experience seeing people suddenly appear from below the ground. Hence, there naturally wouldn't be any habitual moves for him to defend against such an attack.
It seemed very helpless.
But, this was reality.
It was always impossible to forcefully cross the huge difference between power and experience.
Even if one was as smart as Fang Zhengzhi.
Then, he could only look on helplessly as the palm pierced towards his throat. A palm that was like a knife, carrying along with it the killing intent of Asura and the penetrating power of an extreme speed.
"Boom!"
A tremendous boom sounded from where the six people stood.
That was a sound generated by the force of the strike. At the same time that sound rang out, a black light exploded outwards like a ripple.
The entire World of the Sage shook from this powerful impact.
At the same time, a mouthful of boiling, red blood spurted towards the sky. Under the glow of the sunlight, the beads of blood seemed shiny and transparently bright, just like the blossoming red flowers.
