"It's just one-half sage . At least it's not two, or three, or four . . . it's just one! The pressure . . . urgh . . . " Fang Zhengzhi's lips twitched as he looked at Canyang . He regretted his decisions, but he couldn't back down now .

"Kill him, kill him!"

"Avenge our Young Master! Wipe clean the slate!"

"Die!"

"Die!"

The demons began screaming the moment they saw Fang Zhengzhi walking over . Their voices shook the earth .

On the walls of the Iron Hill Settlement . . .

Everyone was watching Fang Zhengzhi as he walked towards Canyang . All of them had an illusion . . .

They felt like he was extremely courageous and unafraid of death .

The entire world seemed to quieten down and time seemed to stop . All that was left was the figure on the battlefield .

Proud, calm, and unafraid of death .

However, this kind of aura and demeanor didn't seem to fit Fang Zhengzhi very well . As a result, they were all stunned by it .

They knew what Fang Zhengzhi was doing .

However . . .

When Fang Zhengzhi took the step out, they couldn't bring themselves to accept it .

"Why would such a shameless man, so afraid of death, become so courageous at such a critical moment?" Princess Shan Yu couldn't bring herself to believe that the fate of the Southern Region would rest on Fang Zhengzhi's shoulders .

She really wanted to ask Fang Zhengzhi her questions .

Why would he sacrifice himself? To what end? Money? Power? To appeal to a beautiful woman? What would it come to if he lost his life?

Courage, lack of fear, and pride .

These were all attributes respected by the people of the Southern Region .

However, she had not seen these attributes in a Southern Region soldier for many years . That was because she was strong, much stronger than most of the men around her .

But right now, Princess Shan Yu felt such an aura coming from that figure .

It was a strange feeling .

It made her want to tremble, and it also made her want to cry .

Then . . .

Princess Shan Yu 'cried' .

"Shameless, shameless person!" Princess Shan Yu's voice reverberated through the air, her tone filled with anger .

Shan Ling, as well as the other settlement chiefs, smiled bitterly when they saw the scene unfolding before them .

Because . . .

Fang Zhengzhi made a break for it .

After taking a few steps out, he immediately 'reverted' to his original self and sprinted towards the Iron Hill Settlement like a terrified bunny .

"Shameless!"

"Utterly shameless!"

"How does someone like this even exist in this world?!"

The Southern Region soldiers looked at the fleeing Fang Zhengzhi with fury in their eyes . They raised their spears at him .

Where did he come from?

He had just a.s.sured them that he would take care of it!

But now . . .

He just left Chi Guyan behind .

No matter how shameless a person was .

There had to be limits .

"Fang Zhengzhi, you shameless fella, how dare you leave me and Sister Yan in the lurch . I . . . I will never let you off!" Ping Yang was slightly touched when she saw Fang Zhengzhi step out, but he ran off soon after .

He had made a break for it so decisively too .

He had simply pushed Chi Guyan forward, ran around her, and headed straight for the settlement .

Most importantly . . .

He was screaming .

"Open the gates!"

"Open the gates!"

　　" . . . "

This could not be tolerated!

Ping Yang wanted to kill Fang Zhengzhi .

Chi Guyan was also slightly stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief . However, she did not move .

She still had Yun Qingwu in her hands .

As such . . .

She could not move .

No matter what Fang Zhengzhi did, she had to stand her ground .

"Scram!"

"You coward!"

"The Great Xia does not have a coward like you! You do not deserve to be a part of us!"

The Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army could not help but berate Fang Zhengzhi .

They were utterly disappointed in Fang Zhengzhi .

They felt like they had just been lied to .

If Fang Zhengzhi was afraid of death, he should not have tried to capture Yun Qingwu and have Chi Guyan battle Canyang .

He could have stalled for time in other ways .

But now . . .

What was with this attempted escape?

Isn't he just leaving Chi Guyan in the lurch?

And then there was Ping Yang .

Ping Yang was a princess, the most pampered one at that . Most importantly, she had just risked her life to save his .

The Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army were furious . They were all embarra.s.sed by Fang Zhengzhi's actions .

How could they ever hold their heads up high if they a.s.sociated with someone like that?

"Father, the gates . . . " Xing Qingsui was also smiling bitterly . He turned to look at Xing Yuanguo as he watched Fang Zhengzhi close in .

"Pa.s.s the order, open the gates!" Xing Yuanguo was focused on Fang Zhengzhi as he gave the order .

"Why? My lord, why should we open the gates for a coward?!"

"Exactly! We do not wish to be a.s.sociated with him!"

"Such a shameless coward should just be fed to the demons! He is a disgrace to the Great Xia!"

The soldiers of the Great Xia were all extremely agitated when they heard Xing Yuanguo's orders . They were not about to accept a 'deserter' .

"Shut up, open the gates!" Xing Yuanguo frowned and his tone changed .

"Yes, sir!" Even though the soldiers of the Mountain Breaking Army were not happy about the orders, they shut up and followed them .

"Open the gates now or it will be too late!" Fang Zhengzhi screamed anxiously as he neared .

Hearing Fang Zhengzhi's anxiety . . .

The soldiers were not happy but they did not dare to defy an order from Xing Yuanguo .

"Creek . . . creek!"

An ominous sound rang out as the gates opened slowly .

Canyang's expression was ugly . His expression had been that way from the moment Fang Zhengzhi turned and ran .

His calm demeanor was completely gone .

He frowned as his sky blue robe danced in the wind . He seemed to be contemplating something and he clenched his fists subconsciously .

He finally sprang into action when he heard the heavy gates of the Iron Hill Settlement open .

"Good, very good! Fang Zhengzhi, you are the greatest danger to the demons indeed!" Canyang's frail voice rang out . He had been forced into making a decision .

As soon as his voice rang out . . .

He disappeared from his spot, almost as if he had been sucked into the air .

In the blink of an eye . . .

He appeared right in front of Fang Zhengzhi .

He walked out of a pale blue light, wearing his long, sky blue robe . His silver hair flowed to his shoulders and his wrinkled face was clear for all to see .

"How quick!"

"Is this the power of a half sage?"

"The Heavenly Rebirth Dao! Fang Zhengzhi can't escape!"

"Indeed . . . but I don't understand . Why did Canyang call Fang Zhengzhi the greatest danger to the demons? He is a shameless coward, what danger could he possibly pose?"

The soldiers of the Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army were confused .

"You will understand when you see Princess Ping Yang . " Nangong Hao's voice rang out as he grabbed the hilt of his sword .

Xing Yuanguo did the same thing .

However . . .

Xing Yuanguo's sword was at his waist .

His purple robe danced in the wind as a purple glow was emitted from his body . That glow represented Xing Yuanguo's battle intent .

The soldiers of the Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army were stunned .

They did not really understand what Nangong Hao meant initially . However, when they looked to Ping Yang, it all made sense .

There was someone beside Ping Yang .

This was a beautiful lady in a pink dress which danced in the wind and had starry eyes which glared at the demon soldiers in front of her .

"Sister Yan, you are the best! We can't rely on that shameless fella!" Ping Yang looked at Chi Guyan excitedly .

"No, he was the one who allowed me to come and save you . " Chi Guyan shook her head as she looked at the demon soldiers with their bows drawn .

Just now . . .

When Fang Zhengzhi had held her hand, she had not withdrawn it .

The reason was simple .

Fang Zhengzhi had written many things on her hand, one of them being . . .

"I will lure Canyang away!"

Initially, Chi Guyan did not understand what Fang Zhengzhi meant . However, when Fang Zhengzhi stepped forward, she understood immediately .

When it came to acting skills .

Chi Guyan was an amateur .

As such, when she had exclaimed that she was the more appropriate candidate, it was not too convincing . However, she knew that Canyang would have no other choice .

Because . . .

He could never let Fang Zhengzhi run into the Iron Hill Settlement!

　　 . . .

"You can't escape . " Canyang 'looked' at Fang Zhengzhi, his wrinkled face containing a myriad of expressions . He knew Fang Zhengzhi's plan .

Just like how Chi Guyan had predicted it .

He had no choice but to fall for it . He could not let Fang Zhengzhi leave, especially not after he knew Fang Zhengzhi's plan .

"That is true, but you have also lost your ace . " Fang Zhengzhi nodded and raised his head .

He did not have to turn back .

He knew that Chi Guyan was by Ping Yang's side .

"Have I? I do not think so . " Canyang shook his head as he pointed towards Ping Yang, who was still trapped in the same position .

"That would mean that you're blind . Oh, I'm sorry . . . you are!" Fang Zhengzhi's lips twitched in scorn .

Canyang frowned but showed no signs of anger . He seemed to be deep in thought .

However, his frown disappeared almost just as quickly .

"I see . You have told her how to unravel the restraints of the Heavenly Dao . However, do you think that your words are sufficient?"

"Of course, have you forgotten? She is Chi Guyan!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded .

"Yes . . . she is Chi Guyan! The most talented female in the entire empire . However, even Chi Guyan would need time . Do you think you can really buy her enough time?" Canyang nodded after a brief moment of thought .

"We'll have to find out . " Fang Zhengzhi waved .

"Okay then, let's find out . " Canyang nodded .

As he nodded, the entire s.p.a.ce around them began to twist and change . It felt as though they were being transported to another dimension .

Fang Zhengzhi had no idea if this was an illusion, but he could feel a wave of mountainous pressure coming down from above .

When he looked up, he was stunned .

Because . . .

There really was a mountain above his head . This was a mountain over 100 yards high, complete with flora and dense forests .

The breeze rustled the canopy and caused the gra.s.s to bend .

Fang Zhengzhi was completely stunned when he saw the mountain just above his head . He had a feeling that this mountain was real .

"What the h.e.l.l?" Fang Zhengzhi had never thought that there would be a mountain on top of his head .

How ridiculous was that?!

Is this the power of a half sage?

Isn't this an excerpt from the "Journey to the West"?
