The notion that Heavenly Dragon Temple hadn't betrayed Xu Xing... was merely the last shred of wishful thinking in Fa Zheng's heart.
The reason Heavenly Dragon Temple accepted Xu Xing as a true lineage disciple was because his Bright King Body could help them purify the evil thoughts of the Sky Dragon Outer Demons. But Xu Xing might not have been aware of this...
Regardless, he had to try.
However, what awaited him was not Xu Xing's response, but another wave of Great Imperial Court Sword Qi. This attack completely extinguished the last vestiges of life in Fa Zheng's head and body.
It seems... after cultivating the Dragon Transformation Technique, one develops this Sky Dragon Outer Demon within...
Even an Innate Martial Artist, after being killed, retains a glimmer of life.
Xu Xing glanced at Fa Zheng's corpse, thinking to himself.
