The demons looked at Fang Zhengzhi, their hands shaking . They couldn't even stabilize their hands to fire their arrows .

"Is he even human?"

The same thought flashed through the minds of all the demons .

There was also another question in their minds .

Was that attack . . .

Coincidence?

Or power?!

If that was power, then that would mean that Fang Zhengzhi was able to . . .

No way!

They all dismissed that thought instantly .

It had to be a coincidence . . .

But it was too much of a coincidence . . .

Firstly, Nangong Hao had disrupted Canyang's senses using his sword . Then, he forced Canyang to retract the Light of the Sage at the crucial moment .

This had baited Nangong Hao into striking . As such, Canyang had focused completely on the symbol on his head .

That . . .

Was when tragedy struck .

"Shameless! Absolutely shameless!"

The demons knew that this was opportunistic of Fang Zhengzhi . They hated to admit it, but how many people would be able to recognize such an opportunity?

And of those people, how many would be capable of capitalizing?

That was a Sage!

In order to sneak up on a Sage and capitalize on such an opportunity . . . He had to time his advance with the Standstill Sword's strike . . .

How terrifying!

　　 . . .

On the ground . . .

Canyang knelt on the ground, his face pale . He bit his lip . . .

He was in pain, indescribable pain .

He wanted to stand up, but anyone who had experienced it before knew how difficult it was to stand amidst such pain .

The only thing that he could do was make sure that his posture wasn't too unglamorous .

However, that only served to exacerbate the pain . Even as a Sage, he felt himself breaking out in cold sweat .

"Master!" Yun Qingwu was shocked to see Fang Zhengzhi in his current state, but she turned her attention to Canyang . . .

This was a man that she respected even more than her own father . . .

And now . . .

This man was in immense pain . . .

Yun Qingwu did wonder to herself how good it would be if she could help Canyang bear the pain . . .

However, the moment she thought about it . . .

She shuddered .

Even she did not want to experience that sort of pain .

She felt rather guilty . As a disciple, she should want to bear the pain on behalf of her master, yet, she was unwilling to do so now .

This was difficult to reconcile

Canyang didn't respond to Yun Qingwu . He even turned away from Yun Qingwu .

He did not want Yun Qingwu to see his expression .

He clenched his fists .

A vein on his arm throbbed .

　　 . . .

Two figures faced off in the sky .

One of them was in a white academic robe, his sleeves flapping in the wind .

The other . . .

Was a naked man who was bloodied from head to toe . A dense killing aura surrounded him, almost as if he was a death G.o.d sent from h.e.l.l .

Fang Zhengzhi was nowhere near as dabber as Nangong Hao .

However, Fang Zhengzhi had an animalistic, domineering aura about him .

His eyes were the most important .

His eyes were completely different . To call it unbelievable would be an understatement .

As for Fang Zhengzhi . . .

He wasn't thinking of much . . .

In fact, he was in a lot of discomfort . He felt like his body was on fire . This was a fire that burned from inside and spread to his skin .

It was hot . . .

So hot that he wanted to strip off all his clothes .

That being said, he had no clothes right now . He was covered in blood . Right now, the world he saw was strange .

It was red, blue, green, purple . . .

Most importantly, he felt a strong wave of killing intent building up inside his heart .

This killing intent seemed to cause him to lose his rationality, yet, apart from this killing intent, there was an odd calmness .

There was clarity . . .

This seemed to balance off the killing intent in his heart .

Fang Zhengzhi had no idea what state he was in right now, neither did he know how long he could keep this up .

However, he did know one thing . . .

He had to keep up the pressure .

Rest on his laurels?

That was something that he couldn't afford to do .

He shot to the ground like an eagle swooping in on its prey . He lunged at thee half-kneeling Canyang .

He wanted to take advantage of the situation .

Fang Zhengzhi was fast . He stared at Canyang's lifeless eyes .

A strange iciness in his eyes . . .

His purple eye was especially strange .

"Boom!"

There was a loud explosion as Fang Zhengzhi crashed to the ground . He was so fast that his body was a blur .

"How fast!"

The demon soldiers watched columns of sand and dust shoot skyward as they exclaimed to themselves .

Fang Zhengzhi must be courting death!

Doesn't he know that his previous strike was a lucky one?

Ordinarily . . .

It was wise to strike while the iron was hot and take advantage of the situation . However, Canyang was a Sage .

The all-powerful Sage!

Without Nangong Hao to run interference, Fang Zhengzhi's strike would be futile .

They waited for Canyang to incapacitate Fang Zhengzhi once again . This time, Fang Zhengzhi had no more Fruits of Dao . He would not be able to recover!

Moments later . . .

The dust dispersed . . .

A bloodied figure could be seen . . .

Not far away from him was a figure in a blue robe . His palms were on the ground and he looked rather haggard .

"He dodged?!"　

The demon soldiers were in disbelief . They knew that Canyang was capable of dodging the attack, but they didn't expect him to dodge!

Why should he dodge?

Canyang was a Sage! Why would a Sage need to dodge away from an attack from a human?!

The demon soldiers looked at Canyang, who was drenched from head to toe . They couldn't understand what they were seeing .

Until . . .

A spearhead appeared in Canyang's hand .

It was a broken spearhead . The tip was bloodied and drops of blood dripped from the point .

"Clang!"

The spearhead fell to the ground .

Canyang's body seemed to turn to jelly at that moment as he crumpled to the ground, sweating profusely .

"Spearhead? Where did that come from?"

"Why does Canyang have a spearhead in his hand? And why is it broken?"

"Why is the spearhead bloodied . Whose . . . whose blood is that?"

A thought flashed through the minds of all the demon soldiers . Their expressions were contorted . . .

Of course . . .

There was rage as well .

They finally understood why Canyang couldn't stand, and they also understood why Canyang had no choice but to dodge .

"This fella actually . . . "

The demon soldiers looked at Canyang and the figure standing in front of them . They felt a chill at their privates .

More than half of the demon soldiers reacted in the same way .

How could . . .

How could a person be that shameless?!

How audacious must someone be to be capable of such despicable tactics?!

Shouldn't he leave some dignity?

The demon soldiers simply couldn't believe their eyes .

Yun Qingwu was stunned .

She was utterly floored . Ever since the age of five, her mind had never stopped working, but right now, her mind was blank . . .

"He . . . he . . . he actually used a spearhead?!"

The demons were not the only ones who were stunned . The soldiers of the joint forces were equally floored when they realized what had happened .

"Spearhead? He actually . . . "

"That's . . . vicious!"

　　" . . . "

The soldiers of the Dragon Protection Squad, Mountain Breaking Army, and Southern Region were rendered speechless .

Chi Guyan, Ping Yang, Xing Yuanguo, Xing Qingsui, even Nangong Hao couldn't find words to express their feelings .

"Erm . . . "

　　" . . . "

Fang Zhengzhi didn't hear the discussions around him, but he could guess what they were thinking from the looks on their faces .

In his mind, he was forced into it!

What else was he to do?

Just using his fingers alone would not be powerful enough!

This opportunity . . .

It was a rare one . . .

This might be his only chance to get close to Canyang . He had thought of stabbing Canyang in the back .

However, he didn't dare to try it .

Canyang was a Sage .

He didn't know how hard a Sage's body was since every attack of his had been blocked by the Light of the Sage .

As such . . .

He didn't want to take any risks .

Most importantly, he didn't know if stabbing Canyang in the back would be of any use . He didn't have much of a choice .

There were only a few places he could strike and only one which was guaranteed to 'incapacitate' Canyang for an extended period of time .

The demons thought about it . . .

If Fang Zhengzhi's attack was not lethal, then the battle was decided .

Canyang would eventually emerge victorious .

However, Fang Zhengzhi still had to give his best .

Fang Zhengzhi didn't hesitate as he lunged at Canyang once again . He wanted to take advantage of Canyang's injury .

"Boom!"

Yet another explosion echoed out .

Canyang rolled to the side, his blue robe in shreds and his face pale . There were blood stains on the ground .

"What are you waiting for? Charge!" Fang Zhengzhi glared at Nangong Hao and the soldiers of the joint forces .

He couldn't take it any longer .

Time was of the essence .

Yet, these people were still watching from the sidelines?

Canyang was already injured! This was the time to attack! What were they waiting for?

Nangong Hao's expression changed .

As a member of the Nangong Family, he had a set of morals that he guarded fiercely . Even though Canyang was the enemy, he still respected Canyang as a senior .

That being said . . .

He also knew that this wasn't the time to consider all those factors . This concerned the survival of the Southern Region and the Great Xia .

His Standstill Sword whirred .

Nangong Hao didn't hesitate as he melted into the sea of swords, charging towards Canyang in a tornado .

Just as Nangong Hao moved . . .

A ray of purple light shot out . Xing Yuanguo had attacked too .

Victory was paramount!

In war, everything was fair game .

Given the same opportunity, Xing Yuanguo may even make the same decision as Fang Zhengzhi, provided that . . .

He could even think of it in the first place!

The swords hummed around Canyang, enveloping Canyang completely .

"Bend the rules!"

There was a purple ray of light filled with battle intent . It shot towards Canyang's forehead .

Apart from the light . . .

There was one man . . .

This was a man covered in blood from head to toe, his eyes unrelenting . One of his eyes was purple while the other was multi-colored .

Time seemed to freeze .

Everyone, demon and humans alike, stared at one point .

That was the point where three figures converged on a half-kneeling youth .

His silver hair danced in the wind, his eyes devoid of any life .

Yet, he grit his teeth .

He grit his teeth so hard that you could see the veins throbbing on his face .
