Canyang was too quick . In the blink of an eye, Fang Zhengzhi was sent flying .
γγ
The settlement chiefs watched on in disbelief .
γγ
They wanted to save Fang Zhengzhi .
But they couldn't .
γγ
Even Xing Yuanguo couldn't do anything about it .
Fang Zhengzhi could see nothing but the ray of blue light as well as the frail outstretched arm . He could not even see Canyang's expression .
γγ
However, he could feel an unstoppable wave of force on his chest .
It was extremely powerful .
"Kacha!" A cracking noise cut through the air as Fang Zhengzhi paled . He knew what the sound was .
γγ
It was the Heart Protection Mirror he placed on his heart .
That was the gift from Chi Guyan . It was also this Heart Protection Mirror which had saved him from Bai Xing's attack at the Icy Monkey Settlement .
γγ
Bai Xing's sword had been quick and sharp .
However . . .
It only left a scratch on the Heart Protection Mirror .
γγ
However, this time, Fang Zhengzhi knew that the Heart Protection Mirror had shattered after just one attack from a barehanded Canyang .
This was why he had used the phrase 'terrifying' to describe Canyang's power .
His attacks were the perfect combination of speed and power .
γγ
A thought flashed through Fang Zhengzhi's mind .
That was . . .
Death!
From the moment Fang Zhengzhi entered the capital, he had come up against many opponents who were more powerful than him .
He had gone up against the Supernatural State Ying Shan as a Heavenly Reflection State cultivator in the World of the Sage . γ
γ
At that time, he could already sense the difference in speed . However, he could still vaguely make out Ying Shan's actions .
It was as if he was watching a film in fast forward .
He could not see it clearly but he could make out some frames .
γ
However . . .
When he faced off against Canyang . . .
Fang Zhengzhi could not even see what Canyang was doing . All he could see was a blur .
γγ
He saw Canyang charging towards him and nothing more . He could not predict where Canyang was or what he was striking at .
All he could do was guess . . .
γ
"Is everything to no avail?" Fang Zhengzhi had already done everything he could . . .
γγ
He had already brought the battle to the most advantageous place for him .
γγ
He could not stand against Canyang alone .
He leveraged Xing Yuanguo and co .
In order to save Ping Yang, he lured Canyang away .
He had planned for everything up till now . However, it was quickly unravelled by Canyang .
Canyang was just too powerful .
γ
The best traps and schemes could trap many . Without knowing the secret of the trap, most could not escape . There was only one exception .
γ
When one could simply overpower the trap .
γ
In the face of absolute power, all the schemes were merely decorative . He could break anything in his path .
If there was a mountain in his way, he would split it .
He could simply charge through .
γ
What could you do to stop him?
Canyang had fallen for it .
γ
Canyang had given up Ping Yang and followed Fang Zhengzhi to the gates of the Iron Hill Settlement . Everything was going according to Fang Zhengzhi's plan .
But that was no use .
γγ
He could simply knock Fang Zhengzhi back to his original position . In fact, he could place Fang Zhengzhi anywhere at will .
γγ
He could control all the factors of the duel .
Fang Zhengzhi spat out a mouthful of blood as he flew through the air .
γγ
"Boom!"
His body crashed into the ground, sending rock and sand flying skyward .
γγ
But this was not all . The moment Fang Zhengzhi smashed into the ground, the blue light withdrew slightly before charging forward again .
It was the same strike .
γγ
"Boom!"
The ground split open .
γ
This time, Fang Zhengzhi was lying flat on the ground and had nowhere to retreat to . He could not cus.h.i.+on the impact by moving backwards . He had to take the brunt of the attack .
γ
"Kacha, kacha . . . " The Heart Protection Mirror began to crack under the pressure .
Fang Zhengzhi was fl.u.s.tered .
γγ
The heart .
γ
One of the vital organs .
γγ
In this world, the heart also contained one's pocket dimension .
γγ
Canyang's intentions were simple . He wanted to destroy Fang Zhengzhi and Fang Zhengzhi's pocket dimension . If he couldn't kill Fang Zhengzhi, he would make sure Fang Zhengzhi could never cultivate ever again .
γγ
Fang Zhengzhi had no idea which one Canyang was trying to accomplish .
But it was not important .
γγ
He felt as though his heart was about to shatter into smithereens .
γγ
"Bang!" Just at that moment, the Heart Protection Mirror shattered into smithereens, unable to withstand the pressure any longer .
γ
Everything stored inside the Heart Protection Mirror was also sent flying .
Needles, nails, ashes, food, clothes . . .
γγ
Countless objects were scattered all over the floor . This was proof that the Heart Protection Mirror had been shattered .
γ
"Fang Zhengzhi!" Princess Shan Yu's eyes were filled with worry and anxiety as she watched from atop the city walls .
γ
The red cloud patterns covered her entire body .
Just as she was about to leap onto the battlefield, a powerful arm pressed her back down .
γγ
"Sister, you can't!" Shan Ling urged .
γ
"Ah! Let me go, I must save him! He is only in this position because of the Southern Region, let me go . . . "
"Smack!" A crisp slap could be heard as Princess Shan Yu crumpled to the ground, the red cloud pattern disappearing slowly .
"Bring her down and watch her!"
γγ
"Yes, your highness!"
γγ . . .
Xing Yuanguo looked at the pale Fang Zhengzhi lying lifelessly some distance away . His knuckles whitened . He wanted to save Fang Zhengzhi, but he knew that if he tried . . .
Then . . .
The Demon Domain Chiefs and Vice Domain Chiefs would also join in the fray .
When the battle was at the gates of the settlement, he would strike without hesitation since he could pa.s.s it off as defence . However, it would be a different story if he leapt onto the battlefield and chased after Canyang .
According to the deal . . .
γ
Fang Zhengzhi should be exchanging hostages with Canyang .
γγ
Whatever transpired during this exchange was between Canyang and Fang Zhengzhi .
γγ
"Sister Yan, the shameless fella is about to die! Go . . . go save him!" Ping Yang was not far from Fang Zhengzhi .
γγ
She knew exactly how powerful the attack was .
γ
Even though she had a slight misunderstanding with Fang Zhengzhi . . .
γγ
Ping Yang was willful, not stupid .
Chi Guyan's body shuddered . She could feel the power in that attack too . However, she could not move .
She couldn't even move an inch .
However, she could stop Canyang from striking again .
"Stop!" Chi Guyan brought her hand to Yun Qingwu's throat . In her hand was a silver-white lightsword .
Canyang hesitated for a moment .
However, the glow on his body never dissipated . The blue light continued to envelop his body, almost as if he was being wrapped by the sky .
γγ
"Sh*t!" Fang Zhengzhi spat out yet another mouthful of blood .
γγ
He spat it right at Canyang .
However . . .
When the blood came into contact with the blue light, it was almost as if it had come into contact with a piece of gla.s.s . It simply dropped to the ground .
γγ
"Drip, drip . . . "
γ
The blood stained Fang Zhengzhi's s.h.i.+rt as well as his secret weapons and personal items .
γ
Amongst those items . . .
Was a rock, a black rock . . .
γ
From every angle, the black rock was extremely una.s.suming . However, when the blood dropped onto the surface, it was almost as if it was sucked into another dimension . It did not leave any trace or stain behind .
Fang Zhengzhi did not notice that happening .
Right now, he only had one feeling, and that was pain . His chest was in so much pain it felt like he had just been stabbed .
Right through the heart .
Canyang's hesitation . . .
Was expected . . .
Yun Qingwu was still in Chi Guyan's hands . As long as Yun Qingwu was there, his life would be in no immediate danger .
γ
That was the reason why Fang Zhengzhi was willing to step forward .
γ
But now . . .
He realized that there was a fate worse than death . Right now . . . he wished that he was dead .
γ
"You . . . you want to destroy my pocket dimension?" Fang Zhengzhi wanted to stand up, but he was being immobilized by an overwhelming force .
This was not the restraints of the Heavenly Dao .
γ
This was just Fang Zhengzhi being overpowered .
"Mm, you are very smart! Ahem . . . " Canyang nodded and cleared his throat . Then, he paled and blood began to trickle from the edge of his mouth .
"He's injured?" Fang Zhengzhi had no idea why Canyang would be injured, but he could be sure that he had nothing to do with it .
Was it Xing Yuanguo's attack? Or was it Nangong Hao's?
Or could it be . . .
The reflection from his Heart Protection Mirror .
That wasn't important . Fang Zhengzhi knew that if Canyang attacked him again . . .
He could be permanently disabled .
γγ
"Let me go, or I will kill Yun Qingwu and we would both suffer!" Fang Zhengzhi was anxious . Canyang's hesitation was of little comfort .
γγ
He saw that Canyang was still extremely calm, almost as calm as the surface of a lake . This unsettled Fang Zhengzhi greatly .
γ
"Kill? How?" Canyang's frail voice rang out once again .
γ
One may be fooled into thinking that Canyang was weak because of his voice . However, Fang Zhengzhi found out the hard way that Canyang was terrifyingly powerful .
γ
"If I can't kill Yun Qingwu, she can!" Fang Zhengzhi grit his teeth .
γγ
"Is that so? It is a pity that the decision is out of your hands now . Furthermore, you should remember that she is not just Chi Guyan . She is also the heir to the Divine Constabulary and the future general of the Great Xia . " Canyang smirked .
Fang Zhengzhi looked at the smile on Canyang's face .
γγ
He did not speak, but his expression changed .
γ
Canyang was extremely blunt, but every word was fact . Fang Zhengzhi had no way of reb.u.t.ting .
Chi Guyan could not kill Yun Qingwu .
She was Chi Guyan, the future commander of the armies of the Great Xia . She had to think about the interests of the Great Xia and the Southern Region .
γγ
"Qingwu . . . she should be waking up soon . " Canyang turned to 'look' at the comatose Yun Qingwu some distance away .
Fang Zhengzhi's expression froze when he heard this .
He finally understood why Canyang would stop after hearing Chi Guyan's words .
γγ
Initially . . .
γγ
He had thought that everything was going according to his plan .
γγ
In actual fact, Canyang had been in complete control ever since the start .
The only reason why he was still alive was . . .
γ
Canyang was waiting .
γ
Canyang was waiting for Yun Qingwu to regain consciousness . He wanted Yun Qingwu to witness it .
Yun Qingwu's body shuddered and her eyes opened slowly .
From the look in her eyes . . .
One could tell that she was still slightly lost .
However, the glow quickly returned to her eyes and she noticed the lightsword at her throat . She turned to look at Chi Guyan .
γ
Then, she looked at Canyang and Fang Zhengzhi .
"Can you let me stand up?" Yun Qingwu looked at Chi Guyan .
"Mm . " Chi Guyan nodded and kept her light sword .
Yun Qingwu did not speak as she climbed to her feet . She looked at Fang Zhengzhi, her expression complicated .
γ
"Can I ask you one last question?"
γ
"You can ask any question, but I won't guarantee an answer . " Fang Zhengzhi did not think that Yun Qingwu would have any question to ask him after he had knocked her out .
γ
The question . . .
Would just be to rub salt in his wound .
She may make fun of the fact that he was now the one being smashed into the ground . How ironic was that?
γ
Fang Zhengzhi had also thought of his answer .
He would simply reply with . . .
γ
"Go f*ck yourself!"
