Chapter 381: Last stand

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Fang Zhengzhi had felt this way before . That was in the battle with Lu Yusheng at the Divine Constabulary .

At that time, Lu Yusheng had strangely broken through into the Heavenly Reflection State . He proceeded to 'hunt down' Yan Xiu and Fang Zhengzhi in the Heavenly Treasure Hall .

After, Fang Zhengzhi managed to breakthrough to the Heavenly Reflection State, the two had one last battle inside the Heavenly Treasure Hall .

Even though Fang Zhengzhi looked like he had the element of surprise, the fact was that he had a much better control over the Dao of all Creation . As such, he was able to control Lu Yusheng's Ice Territory .

The roles were now reversed, but the concept was similar .

Of course, in order to do such a thing, two conditions must be met . First, one's pocket dimension must have the same Dao . Two, one must have better control than the opponent .

Nangong Hao was in the pinnacle Supernatural State . As such, his control over the Dao of All Creation was better than Fang Zhengzhi's . Furthermore, the Dragon Combat Plan's unique accommodating nature meant that his sword technique could combine with any Dao .

As such, it was not difficult for Nangong Hao to do this .

Nangong Hao may have an easy time, but that meant that Fang Zhengzhi was going to struggle .

To Fang Zhengzhi, it felt like he had thrust his sword only to find out that it wasn't him . Instead, his opponent had stolen his sword and thrust it back at him . What's mine is his, what's his is still his . How was he going to fight?

Fang Zhengzhi knew that Nangong Hao was powerful, but he never expected Nangong Hao to be this ridiculously powerful .

Stealing the Dao of others?

The thought flashed through Fang Zhengzhi's mind . He kept trying to think of a weakness in the Dragon Combat Plan . However, his most pressing issue was not to find a weakness . . .

It was to dodge Nangong Hao's attack .

No fancy show of force, no fanfare . However, it was as quick as a bolt of lightning .

Nangong Hao thrusted straight at him . When his blade contacted the waterfall from heaven, it went straight through and flew towards Fang Zhengzhi's throat .

This strike left Fang Zhengzhi with no choice but to give up his menacing technique and retreat .

”Clang!” A crisp sound rang out .

There wasn't much reverberation as the blades clashed and parted . Yet, the crisp sound was clear for all to hear .

Nangong Hao's blade returned to its original position, the tip still pointed at Fang Zhengzhi . It glowed golden in the light .

”Congratulations, you managed to block my strike!” Nangong Hao's tone was calm, just like how he was when he exited the Icy Monkey Settlement .

Nangong Hao's shock upon hearing that Fang Zhengzhi had 388 Daos in his pocket dimension had disappeared .

This strike had restored his composure .

This was the beauty of his technique .

”Fang Zhengzhi blocked Nangong Hao's strike?!”

”This battle is even more interesting than I expected . ”

”I wonder how many rounds Fang Zhengzhi can last considering that he's being outcla.s.sed in cultivation state . If Nangong Hao really suppressed his own cultivation state, Fang Zhengzhi really had a good chance of winning!”

”Mm, for a pinnacle Heavenly Reflection State cultivator to block the attack of a pinnacle Supernatural State cultivator is impressive!”

All of the candidates looked at Fang Zhengzhi with conflicted expressions . They had once disregarded him as a despicable villager . But now, he was a s.h.i.+ning star .

That being said . . .

Nangong Hao was much too powerful .

Nangong Hao was a full cultivation state above Fang Zhengzhi . No matter how hard Fang Zhengzhi tried, he could not possibly defeat Nangong Hao .

The fact that he could block one attack . . .

Could be considered a victory .

All of the candidates thought the same way . However, Chen Feiyu was extremely depressed when he saw this . Despite being in the Supernatural State, he was unable to block Nangong Hao's strike . . .

Yan Xiu was not too surprised . He had expected that Fang Zhengzhi would be able to block Nangong Hao's strike . However, he didn't expect that it would be this difficult .

Yan Xiu noticed something that the others didn't . Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi's sword wielding hand .

And right now . . .

That hand was trembling slightly .

. . .

Fang Zhengzhi had thought of many ways to block Nangong Hao's strike . He wanted to use more Daos to increase the difficulty for Nangong Hao to accommodate them all .

He also wanted to try using each Dao one by one .

He did not believe that the Dragon Combat Plan would be able to accommodate everything .

But did Fang Zhengzhi have the chance to try it?

Nope .

As such, he was forced to use the most basic of techniques . He did not use Dao, choosing instead to use his own energy .

That was what he used to block Nangong Hao's strike .

However, just as what Yan Xiu guessed, without any Dao in the blade, how could Fang Zhengzhi go up against Nangong Hao's Dragon Combat Plan buffed strike .

In the moment the blades clashed, a powerful wave of force crashed towards Fang Zhengzhi .

If not for the fact that Fang Zhengzhi's blade was the Traceless Sword . . .

He would not have been able to match that attack .

”The Sagely Battle G.o.d Meng Tian is a hero of the Great Xia Dynasty . His blade had slashed through the demon's Blood Shadow City . That mark is still there to this day . His blade is stained with the blood of the demon lord Si Kong . The blade in your hand is truly a good sword . ” Nangong Hao's eyes glowed even brighter as he looked at Fang Zhengzhi's sword . His white robe flapped in the wind .

Fang Zhengzhi knew exactly what Nangong Hao was saying .

He knew that Nangong Hao had already seen through the fact that he only managed to block the strike because of the quality of his blade . He also knew that Nangong Hao's next strike would not be easy to block .

Was the difference between cultivation states really that great?

Dragon Combat Plan!

How was he going to find a weakness in the Dragon Combat Plan?!

A technique that could steal the Dao of others is impossible to break! He could steal everything you had . How would someone like that lose?

But, Nangong Hao had lost before . . .

He had lost to one person . That person was Chi Guyan .

Fang Zhengzhi knew this . However, what he didn't know was how Chi Guyan managed to defeat Nangong Hao's sword technique!

Did she use the Million Sword Ill.u.s.tration?

The only technique he had seen Chi Guyan use was the Divine Constabulary's Million Sword Ill.u.s.tration . Right now, that seemed like his only hope .

However, could it really defeat the Dragon Combat Plan?

Fang Zhengzhi did not think that it was very likely .

If it couldn't, then how did Chi Guyan manage to defeat Nangong Hao?

Fang Zhengzhi tried to recall what was discussed during his time with Chi Guyan in the Northern Mountain Village . Back then, Chi Guyan enlightened him about his weaknesses and made the deal with him .
