Chapter 729: Something Strange, Eight Fires Burning the Body

“It’s so cruel!” When Third Elder of the Black Moon Island saw this scene, he could not help but exclaim as he smiled coldly.

“It’s cruel indeed, but compared to the pain the three of us suffered, I think it is still incomparable,” said Second Elder of the Black Moon Island as he smiled coldly as well.

Compared to Second Elder and Third Elder, the leader of the three Sages of the Black Moon Island, Yuan Rong, was much calmer. All he did was to look coldly at Fang Zhengzhi, who was rolling about on the ground, as he clenched his fists tightly.

As someone from the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, it was slightly humiliating for him to accept the Yin Yang Pavilion’s help in completing this task.

However, no matter how great the humiliation was, he still had to endure it. This was because if the Nine Pinnacles Mountain wanted to maintain its position in the Holy Region, it must ally with the Yin Yang Hall.

“Fang Zhengzhi!” Yan Xiu’s body started to shake. A blood-red light started to flash in his eyes and he appeared to be visibly in pain.

Quickly, his trembling stopped because he noticed that Fang Zhengzhi had just winked at him. His pale face looked shocked.

Then, Yan Xiu fell silent.

Fang Zhengzhi, on the other hand, started to shout even more intensely. His shouts reverberated in the forests as if he was about to die.

“Hmph, it hasn’t ended!” A cold radiance flashed in Shi Fan’s eyes. Thanks to a momentary lapse, Fang Zhengzhi killed a Sage. How could he let Fang Zhengzhi die so easily?

The sword in his hand moved.

The second ball of black fire descended.

“Ah!” Fang Zhengzhi cried out in pain once again. His hands tore at his clothes and beads of sweat trickled out non-stop before evaporating before his eyes. It went on non-stop…

However, Shi Fan had no intention of sparing him. He waved his sword in hand once more and two more balls of fire descended.

Quickly, Fang Zhengzhi’s entire body was enveloped by black flames. His skin was set alight and his cries of agony rang continually.

However, what was odd was that…

He did not die!

Fang Zhengzhi was indeed struggling and he was screaming agonizingly. No matter how one looked at it, Fang Zhengzhi seemed incapable of sustaining it any longer.

However, no one knew why but he seemed to be hanging onto his last thread of life. No matter how agonizingly he screamed, he refused to die.

Shi Fan felt that this was odd.

According to his predictions, Fang Zhengzhi should not have been able to survive the second ball of fire. However, why had he not died even after the third and fourth balls of fire?

Shi Fan felt that something was amiss.

The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and elders shared his thought. After all, under normal circumstances, he should have died if it really did make him scream like this.

“It seems that he’s unwilling to die, but if you can survive just because you’re unwilling to die, then the Hell Dao does not deserve its name!” Shi Fan mumbled to himself. Then, his hands moved once more and the fifth ball of fire descended. This time, the black fire went straight for Fang Zhengzhi’s heart.

This fire burned his internal organs!

It was definitely not something that an ordinary person could endure!

Fang Zhengzhi could not endure it too. The moment it penetrated his chest, his body flipped and he curled up into a ball. He seemed to be on his last breath.

Of course, he was still alive.

“…” Shi Fan’s lips twitched and he wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say. However, his face instantly turned cold.

When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw how cruel he was, they all turned their heads to the side. They could not bear to watch it anymore.

After all, after they personally witnessed such tortures, they felt that it was unnecessarily cruel too.

“Elder Shi, that’s enough!” Sixth Elder finally spoke. While he did not like Fang Zhengzhi, he could not bear to see him being tortured like this.

“That’s enough? The one who died is not from your Heaven Dao Pavilion, of course it’s enough for you!” When Shi Fan heard Sixth Elder’s words, his tone turned icy-cold and murderous.

“Shi Fan, you…,” said Sixth Elder as his face turned slightly red.

He wanted to say, “Does the crime of destroying the Divine Rain Pond exceed that of killing one of your disciples?” However, he swallowed his words.

This was because it was not wise to spread the word that Fang Zhengzhi had destroyed the Divine Rain Pond.

“Alright, since you can endure this pain, let’s see what’s your limit!” Shi Fan ignored Sixth Elder as his sword moved once more. The sixth ball of fire descended once more.

“Whoosh!”

This time, the entire ground was set alight. The intense flames made the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples frown. Beads of sweat fell from their foreheads.

Of course, Fang Zhengzhi’s cries became even more intense and pained. He clawed with his hands at the ground and was able to make two deep marks. Evidently, this was his final struggle.

However, he was still not dead.

“Rascal, I don’t believe you can bear the pain of an Incineration by the Seven Fires!” Shi Fan was finally enraged. He had no need to wait as the sword in his hand started to move. The seventh ball of fire descended straightaway.

“Ah…” Fang Zhengzhi screamed out in agony. His whole body convulsed vigorously and he was evidently dying.

“Hurhur, you evidently can’t take an Incineration by the Seven Fires,” said Shi Fans as a smile crept across his face.

When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw this scene, they all shook their heads slowly.

“Has it finally ended?”

“He can endure an Incineration by the Seven Fires. Fang Zhengzhi’s will is strong indeed!”

“Yes, such a shame…”

As the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples shook their heads, they lamented too. None of them looked happy.

Waiting.

Shi Fan did not do anything else because he did not want to waste any more energy. Hence, the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and elders could only wait at the side.

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, 15 minutes had passed.

As for Fang Zhengzhi…

He was still convulsing.

“…”

“He’s still alive?!”

“How’s this possible?”

The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples finally spoke. They could not believe it. After all, the pain of an Incineration by the Seven Fires was something that was normally unbearable.

However, the reality was that…

Fang Zhengzhi convulsed for 15 minutes but he was still not dead.

Even though he really was convulsing, and he was convulsing as he lay straight on the ground and was evidently on the brink of death. Oddly enough, he was not yet dead.

“Rascal, I want to see if you’ll really die!” Shi Fan’s eyes started to bulge. At the same time, the eighth ball of fire, which had been hanging in the air all this while, finally descended.

“Whoosh!” Black flames rushed into the air and its dark sound echoed in the air. It was like the sharpest sound from Hell as it sent chills down everyone’s back.

Then, Fang Zhengzhi’s body finally stopped convulsing. He lay on the ground straight and did not move. He looked as if he was really dead.

“Finally dead!”

“He survived until the eight fire?”

“How strong is his will?”

The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was no longer moving, and then at each other. They all felt slightly helpless.

When he saw that Fang Zhengzhi was no longer moving, Second Elder took a step forward.

“Yuan Rong, the matter has been settled. Will you three Sages of the Black Moon Island follow me to the Heaven Dao Pavilion and settle this matter with our Pavilion Leader?” Second Elder asked.

“Alright, but we can’t hand Yan Xiu over to you just yet,” said Yuan Rong as he nodded his head.

“What do you mean? Do you think that the Heaven Dao Pavilion won’t keep our words?” Second Elder’s face changed as he said that. He was visibly enraged.

“This matter concerns the life and death of us three brothers. I feel that we should be more careful. After we have settled the matter and exited the territory controlled by the Heaven Dao Pavilion, we’ll naturally return Yan Xiu to you,” said Yuan Rong without any attempt at hiding his intentions.

“You want to threaten us?”

“We don’t dare to threaten you but we want to keep ourselves alive. The Heaven Dao Pavilion’s relationship with the Great Xia Dynasty is strong and if I remember correctly, this rascal is also known as Prince Yan. Oh right, I hear that he knows Chi Guyan so I think… you guys wouldn’t just stand idly by, right?”

“Yuan Rong, you…”

“Second Elder, the three of us have agreed to go to the Heaven Dao Pavilion and we are willing to settle this matter with you. Do you think we’ll kill Yan Xiu?” Yuan Rong said with a cold smile.

“Second brother, Yan Xiu’s injuries are serious. I think we should return to the Heaven Dao Pavilion before we do anything else!” Fourth Elder said timidly after he heard Yuan Rong had said.

When Second Elder heard this, he looked at Yan Xiu, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and his pool of bright-red blood. He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, you don’t need to hand Yan Xiu over to us now, but if anything happens to him, you three brothers will never leave the Heaven Dao Pavilion!”

“Hurhur, don’t worry, Second Elder, we’re doing this just to stay alive. We don’t want to become the Heaven Dao Pavilion’s enemies!” When Yuan Rong heard this, he nodded his head. At the same time, he quickly took out a small bottle of medicines as he placed one inside Yan Xiu’s mouth.

“Please!” After Second Elder saw Yuan Rong feed Yan Xiu, he immediately waved at the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples who took up sword formations. “Stand down from the sword positions and return to the Heaven Dao Pavilion!”

“Yes!” The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples replied instantly.

“Bring Fang Zhengzhi’s corpse back too!” Fourth Elder looked at Fang Zhengzhi before instructing the disciples.

“Yes!” Two Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples ran toward Fang Zhengzhi.

“Wait a moment! Third brother, go and slash him two more times with your sword, I want to be sure that this rascal is dead!” Yuan Rong’s voice rang out once more. At the same time, he looked at Third Elder of the Black Moon Island.
