Chapter 255

In the blink of an eye, the entire blade was covered in purple.

It was a strange sight.

At this point, a sound could be heard from the air. Soon after, a figure descended from the sky.

Within an instant, the Traceless Sword began to move, almost as if it had a connection with something in the surroundings. It began to hum...

Then, it flew towards the figure.

”Die!” A low, solemn voice could be heard from the figure. Then, a silver waterfall seemed to link up with the sky.

In the middle of the silver waterfall was a purple glow.

Mountains and rivers.

The deputy had just secured Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian. He paled when he saw what was cras.h.i.+ng towards him.

He could feel how sharp that strange purple glow was. It felt as if that purple glow could penetrate anything in the world. He felt a s.h.i.+ver down his spine.

Subconsciously, he wanted to retreat...

However, he felt as if there was something strangling his movements. There was also a terrifying, powerful suppressive force above him, rooting him in place. It was almost as if he was standing underneath a humongous waterfall.

”Oh G.o.d!” The deputy screamed. Then, he felt his forehead being pierced by something.

The world around him began to turn blurry.

He seemed to see a youth dressed in hide walk over. The youth was holding a sword in his hand, a completely purple sword.

”Fang... Fang Zhengzhi?!”

Fang Zhengzhi stopped beside the deputy. He ignored the deputy’s last words as he fell to his knees.

He faced Qin Xuelian and Fang Houde, ”Dad, mom... I have let you down!”

Dawn broke over the Northern Mountain Village. It tinted the entire village gold, but there were splashes of red spread throughout.

That was blood, blood stained mud.

All of the villagers were stunned when they saw Fang Zhengzhi fall to his knees. Everything had happened too quickly.

From the moment the black faced general drew his sword...

To the block, and the waterfall, and a fallen deputy with a deep gash in his forehead.

”He’s dead?!”

All of the villagers, including Zhang Yangping, were in disbelief. They had fought with this deputy, and this was the deputy which created the cavity in the ground.

Such a powerful person was dead?

Awe, loss...

The emotions quickly changed to surprise, joy, and anxiety.

They were surprised that Fang Zhengzhi could kill such a powerful person. However, they were anxious to see how much more Fang Zhengzhi could achieve.

They really wanted the best for him.

That was the family spirit within the Northern Mountain Village!

”Zhengzhi, go! They have set up an ambus.h.!.+”

”There are many soldiers outside! They have surrounded the entire village.”

”Zhengzhi, don’t bother about us! We are okay with dying! You are immensely outnumbered, run!”

When all of the villagers recovered, they began to holler out their concerns. In their minds, Zhengzhi’s return was less favorable.

w.a.n.g Anhua’s expression darkened.

He still remembered his first meeting with Fang Zhengzhi eight years ago. At that time, Fang Zhengzhi was still a willful child, but w.a.n.g Anhua knew that this child had a bright future.

However, he began to see less of Fang Zhengzhi after Fang Zhengzhi was given the boot from the Southern Mountain Village. His loyalties laid there, so he could not leave.

However, he heard about many of Fang Zhengzhi’s hunting exploits.

At that time, w.a.n.g Anhua sighed to himself. He felt that such a talent was wasted in the woods. It was a pity he would never learn the ”Law of Dao”.

That was until Fang Zhengzhi stunned the world by topping the Huai An County examinations.

Then, he proceeded to destroy his compet.i.tion at the River of Trust Province Examinations.

w.a.n.g Anhua was stunned and envious. How could a person who spent his time in the woods be so powerful? How talented is this child?

As times changed, w.a.n.g Anhua’s school was moved to the Northern Mountain Village.

When he was finally reunited with Fang Zhengzhi eight years later, he realized that the youth standing in front of him was a soaring eagle.

He was determined to settle down here and teach. He would be part of the Northern Mountain Village family and spread word about the pride of the village.

Afterwards, news of Fang Zhengzhi’s breakthrough into the Heavenly Reflection State reached his ears.

On that day, w.a.n.g Anhua was over the moon. He drank a lot that night, stumbling as he walked around the village announcing the news to anyone he saw.

It was a pity...

The Northern Mountain villagers had no idea what a 15 year old Heavenly Reflection State cultivator meant. They looked at him, lost.

”Sensei, what is Heavenly Reflection?”

”Sensei, can you show us what Heavenly Reflection is like?”

w.a.n.g Anhua could only smile bitterly. Show you? I have not even entered Dao despite studying all my life. How can I possibly demonstrate Heavenly Reflection to you?

Today, w.a.n.g Anhua finally saw what Heavenly Reflection meant.

That powerful waterfall and its aura was like a masterpiece. Even so, w.a.n.g Anhua was rather saddened. Fang Zhengzhi had intervened because of him.

”Zhengzhi, run! That black faced general is also in the Heavenly Reflection State!” w.a.n.g Anhua lunged himself at the black faced general mid-sentence.

He would be willing to give up his life if it bought Fang Zhengzhi time to save his parents and run.

w.a.n.g Anhua thought to himself, Even if Fang Zhengzhi is in the Heavenly Reflection State, he should only be in the nascent stages. How can he possibly match up to a battle hardened general?

The black faced general’s expression darkened.

He had never expected Fang Zhengzhi to kill his deputy in such a blatant and swift way.

More importantly, he wasn’t running away?

And now...
