“My surname is Dao, Xin is my name.” The lady did not hesitate much before gradually moving forward one step.
“Dao Xin? Indeed your surname is Dao?” Fang Zhengzhi’s mouth quivered a little. Next, he raised his head lightly, gazing towards the horizon. Of course, he knew the meaning of the surname Dao. Even if the lady did not explicitly mention it, but as for her identity, he had roughly understood it. “Indeed, I was too soft-hearted.”
“Soft-hearted?!”
“This punk dares to mention that he’s soft-hearted? He really said it!”
“I have never seen such a thick-skinned shameless person!”
Upon hearing Fang Zhengzhi’s words, the Yin Yang Hall disciples were all bewildered. They felt immensely disdainful towards him.
“Yes, you’re indeed soft-hearted. But this is not necessarily a bad trait.” Lady “Dao Xin” did not seem to scornful, instead she nodded her head sincerely in agreement.
“…..”
“…..”
The Yin Yang Hall disciples looked at one another, before turning their attention towards Dao Xin. It seemed as though their faces were just struck with a tight slap, and that they were burning in pain.
Fang Zhengzhi did not continue saying much, because he did not know the motive of Dao Xin’s appearance. As such, he was waiting, waiting for Dao Xin to continue talking.
And Dao Xin seemed to have understood Fang Zhengzhi’s intentions, as she did not let him wait too long, “Ever since you came to Yin Yang Hall, there were a total of two and a half times where you were soft-hearted.”
“Two and a half times?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled slightly, and he felt as though even he did not quite understood when those instances were.
Furthermore, when did these two and a half times start from?
In reality, it was not only Fang Zhengzhi and the surrounding disciples, but Yin Yang Hall’s Elders and even the Heavenly Oasis Saint who seemed to have not understood her.
“Yes, there were a total of two and a half instances. The first was when you were against me. You clearly knew that you had grabbed hold of me, and you could tell that I was of special status, yet you chose to act alone, and did not choose to threaten my life. This was your first instance.” Dao Xin opened his mouth.
Fang Zhengzhi did not respond.
However, upon hearing those words, the disciples were all flabbergasted. Amidst the shock, they felt angry and bewildered too.
“This punk dared to…..”
“Disgusting!”
“Definitely cannot keep him!”
The Yin Yang Hall Disciples were all feeling indignant. Furthermore, such anger was even more intense than before.
Dao Xin extended his hand at this point. She did not seem angry at all. Instead, she was calm and peaceful.
“The second instance was when you rushed out of the Thousand Herb Hall. If I did not guess wrongly, not only did you not take my life, you did the same for Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder and even Eighth Elder. Is that not true?” Dao Xin opened her mouth again.
Fang Zhengzhi remained silent, as he did not wish to admit such a happening. But the reality was that he had indeed shown them mercy.
When he had killed Shi Fan at the bottom of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, it was because Shi Fan and Yuan Rong had used Yan Xiu as hostage, but Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder and Eighth Elder did not do that.
Fang Zhengzhi had kidnapped Dao Hun.
As such, Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder and Eighth Elder had no choice but to stop him. There was no personal rivalry between them.
“Did this punk really intentionally show them mercy?”
“I don’t know…..”
“But it seems like there was such a possibility!”
Upon hearing till here, the Yin Yang Hall disciples finally had a change of expression. Afterall, as what Dao Xin had mentioned, Fang Zhengzhi had injured the three Elders, but he did not kill any of them.
“As for the last half instance, I think you should know what it is already.” As Dao Xin was opening her mouth, she looked towards Dao Hun who was on Fang Zhengzhi’s shoulders.
And Fang Zhengzhi naturally knew what Dao Xin was referring to.
Half an instance?
How unreasonable!
“A month ago, at the bottom of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, you had killed five Sages in a row. Everyone thought that you were killing indiscriminately, but I don’t think so. In reality, without your half instance of being soft-hearted, I wouldn’t be standing here talking to you.” Dao Xin did not wait for Fang Zhengzhi to respond.
“How do you want to talk?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.
“Firstly, I must admit that you’re more capable that what I have thought. But you have lost this battle!” Dao Xin’s tone was extremely confident.
“How do you tell?” Fang Zhengzhi responded.
“Because, your aim of coming to Yin Yang Hall was to save people, and not to kill them. However, you caused Yin Yang Hall to be a complete bloodbath, and you were unable to leave Yin Yang Hall yourself. How are you going to fulfil your aim?”
“You think I cannot leave Yin Yang Hall?”
“Yan Xiu is in my hands, how are you going to leave here?”
“Or maybe, I really shouldn’t have shown you mercy.” Fang Zhengzhi clenched the Traceless Sword even more tightly, and his crystallised eyes shining even more radiantly.
“Ok, if you had killed me earlier, maybe you could really have escaped from Yin Yang Hall. Although, is that really the result that you were looking for?” Dao Xin nodded her head.
“You’re talking so much, what are you really trying to say? If you are trying to persuade me to let Dao Hun go, then I suggest you stop wasting your effort.” Fang Zhengzhi opened his mouth.
“Maybe, let’s make a deal.” Dao Xin said.
“What deal?”
“I heard you posses the Dao of Yin Yang?”
“Yes!”
“Then you should understand the logic revolving around Yin and Yang. Everything in this world are of equilibrium, there is nothing that does not result in a return. Just like Yin and Yang, when there’s Yin there will be Yang, when there’s life….. naturally there will be death!” Dao Xin pointed out.
“Your meaning is, use my life, to exchange for Yan Xiu’s one?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled revealed a smile on his face upon hearing Dao Xin’s words.
“You’re right!”
“I seem to have no other choice, such as bringing you and Dao Hun out of the Yin Yang Hall, before using your life to threaten Dao Hun to release Yan Xiu!”
“Indeed that is quite a good suggestion. However, the only criteria is that you must capture me once again, or rather, you must capture me before I kill Yan Xiu!” A sword appeared on Dao Xin’s hands, and it immediately pressed against Yan Xiu’s heart.
Fang Zhengzhi remained silent, but the Traceless Sword in his hand had already separated her sword from Yan Xiu’s heart.
“You dare!” Sixth Elder opened his mouth.
“Fang Zhengzhi, if you dare to injure the Hallmaster, today none of you shall even think of leaving the Yin Yang Hall!” Great Elder clenched the spear in his hand even more vigorously.
But at this moment Dao Xin extended her hand once again, preventing Great Elder and Sixth Elder from continuing. Next, she looked towards Fang Zhengzhi, “Is this a stalemate?”
“Is it not?” Fang Zhengzhi responed.
Dao Xin smiled a little, but remained silent. However, the spear on her hand moved down slightly a few inches. “Pu Ci”, it pierced into below Yan Xiu’s chest.
Fang Zhengzhi’s facial expression changed immediately.
Even Yan Qianli and the Heavenly Oasis Saint had their expressions changed. Everything in this world seemed to have restored its stillness once again.
Fang Zhengzhi’s clenched his Traceless Sword even more tightly. It moved up a few inches, shifting towards the top area of the heart.
“No!” At this moment, someone grabbed onto Fang Zhengzhi’s hand. It was none other than Chi Guyan, who had remained silent all this while.
“Why no?” Fang Zhengzhi responded.
“Will be awaken.” Chi Guyan’s voice was not loud, in fact it was very light.
However, it was loud enough for Fang Zhengzhi to hear. His expression immediately turned rigid.
Awaken?
HIs attention turned towards the smiling Dao Xin, before looking at the spear that she had pierced into Yan Xiu’s body. He bit into his lips vigorously.
For the first time, he clearly understood the abnormality of the lady Dao Xin. Amidst the words and the smiles, she had a deep plot planned within them.
How radical!
Furthermore, she had used the most unbearable trait to trigger him.
If not for Chi Guyan’s reminder. Fang Zhengzhi may have already entered the final state. And this whole process merely took a few sentences to complete.
Was this the Holy Region?!
“The Choose One Chi Guyan, you’re indeed intelligent. Your fame is well-deserved!” Dao Xin let out a sigh, before slowly withdrawing the long spear. She moved half an inch towards her left, before opening her mouth. “Then, Fang Zhengzhi, do you still think we’re in a stalemate?”
Fang Zhengzhi bit into his lips tightly, and blood could not seen dripping from the corner of his mouth. His bodily strength felt extremely unstable. He could not help but emit a ferocious vibe around him.
He had no idea how to solve this problem.
Because, he could not force himself to disregard Yan Xiu’s life, but at the same time, he could only stare helplessly at Dao Xin’s sword piercing into Yan Xiu’s body.
Looking at the Heavenly Oasis Saint’s eyes, it was of a similar expression. Yes, this was not a stalemate, it was a battle that he had already lost.
“Fang Zhengzhi, you have already tried your best. Xiu-er will understand!” Yan Qianli’s voice erupted in the air. At the same time, his body started emitting a glow of red light. Next, as swift as lightning, he leapt towards Dao Xin.
However, just when Yan Qianli was rushing towards Dao Xin, a figure prevented him from doing so. It was Sixth Elder of the Yin Yang Hall.
“Yan Qianli, first you have to bypass me!” Sixth Elder had already started attacking, without any hesitation or delay.
“Old man Yan, let me help you!” Heavenly Oasis Saint started moving at this moment.
The other Sages, including Yan Qing, leapt swiftly towards Dao Xin.
How could the people of Yin Yang Hall allow such a situation to happen?
The ceasefire was broken once again. Furthermore, as compared to just now, the frustration and anger on both sides far surpassed that of the previous atmosphere.
“Stop!” Fang Zhengzhi could not bear to allow such a bloodbath to continue, as he did not want anymore Shadow Sect disciples to perish.
It was enough.
Just like what Yan Qianli had said, they had already expended their strength for this battle.
“We have lost!” Fang Zhengzhi glared intently at Chi Guyan. From her face, he could tell that they had the same expression.
Yes, lost…..
“I have already mentioned the criteria just now. When there’s life there will be death. You can choose if you are the one to continue living, or Yan Xiu!” Dao Xin nodded her head, and seemed to have ignored Fang Zhengzhi’s words.
“Fang Zhengzhi, Xiu-er has already reached such a state. This is his life, he doesn’t owe it to anybody!” Yan Qianli replied hastily.
“Yes, little punk, while the green hills last, there’ll be wood to burn. When there’s life there’s hope. We must first bring Yan Xiu out first, before thinking of other methods…..” Heavenly Oasis Saint replied.
“Don’t you make any foolish decisions, with your ingenuity, your future is limitless!” Yangkun Saint swung his sword.
“Future?” Fang Zhengzhi raised his head slightly and looked towards the scorching sun. It was dazzling, and he was almost unable to concentrate.
He did not want to die.
He had a lot of worries remaining in this world. For example, his parents in the Northern Mountain Village, as well as the innocent and kind villagers.
Furthermore, there was still Ping Yang, who was waiting for him at Ling Yun Tower. He did not know how she was doing now.
“Can you help me to do two things?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chi Guyan. However prideful she may be, she still stood by him at the key moments of his life.
“No, you should do the things that you want to do yourself.” Chi Guyan shook her head, as she tried to avoid Fang Zhengzhi’s eye contact.
“First thing, take care of my parents. Do not tell them that I have died, I know you are able to do this according to your abilities. Next thing….. Two months later, represent me to Ling Yun Tower, and tell Ping Yang that I have failed to keep the appointment…..” Fang Zhengzhi knew that Chi Guyan had understood his intentions.
Furthermore, he knew that Chi Guyan would not stop him, because if she were to be in his position, she would make the same choice.
“Seems like you have made your decision?” Dao Xin’s voice could be heard once again, interrupting the conversation between Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan.
“Yes, but I have another condition!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head, before walking two steps forward.
“Okay, you say!” Dao Xin smiled a little, before withdrawing her sword. A light perfume smell circulated around her body. The purity of the smell made it seem as though she had not just stabbed Yan Xiu’s chest.
