. . .
Fang Zhengzhi would rarely be this pa.s.sionate about a battle which he had little chance of winning . However, the rush that he was feeling was too awesome to give up .
More importantly, his opponent was Nangong Hao .
Most people could not understand this feeling . However, put simply, would there be any satisfaction in defeating an unknown weakling?
Perhaps a little, but not too much .
However . . . if one defeated someone famous and powerful . . . it'll be a different story altogether .
Nangong Hao made a name for himself four years ago, earning himself the t.i.tle of the top talent in the Great Xia Dynasty . Furthermore, his cultivation state was a full level above Fang Zhengzhi .
Yet, with 40,000 troops as witnesses, he could not easily defeat Fang Zhengzhi .
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to clash with Nangong Hao a few more times .
But . . .
Just as he was having the time of his life, he felt a wave of iciness crash towards him from above .
”Sneak attack?!” Fang Zhengzhi looked up instinctively . This was part of his reflexes, especially since he was so adept at the sneak attack tactic .
However, he did not notice anything .
To be more precise, all he saw was a ray of sunlight . It was rather bright and piercing .
Then, he felt a sharp pain in his chest .
It felt like needles or a sword .
In actual fact, what Fang Zhengzhi didn't know was that when he raised his head, a silver ray of light had already reached his chest .
Bai Xing would never let his victim know in advance that he was under attack .
By the time his victim felt the icy chill, it was all over . The blade was already on its way . As for the iciness . . .
It was the suppression after he had released the blade .
Fang Zhengzhi felt that a sneak attack was coming, but he had no way of dodging the sword . It was so fast that he didn't even have time to react to it .
. . .
The cold icy killing intent rose and spread in all directions, causing all the dust in the air to freeze in that instant . It looked extremely queer .
However, if one looked closely, one would see that every speck of dust was covered in a layer of white ice . This was not dust anymore . It was ice .
Yun Qingwu watched quietly from the cliff . Her lips parted and pursed as she watched the dust turn into ice . She clenched her fingers tightly, almost as if she was saying something .
However, even the guys closest to her could not hear anything .
Of course, this was partially because of the fact that Yun Qingwu's voice was too soft . However, it was more because they were too captivated by the icy ground they saw in front of them .
From the freezing of the dust to the ice falling to the ground . . .
Less than a second had pa.s.sed . However, for Yun Qingwu, this was a slow, agonizing wait .
In actual fact, the wait had begun from the moment Bai Xing disappeared .
She waited anxiously for the sword to find its mark .
And now . . .
The blade had struck, right between Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzhi . To be more precise, the blade had struck Fang Zhengzhi's chest, just as she had guessed .
Did that mean that it was all over?
The ice fell to the ground like drops of rain, making pitter patter noises as it did so . It was light and almost soundless .
The ragged breathing of the candidates was much louder in comparison .
They did not see the ray of light coming down from the heavens, but it would be impossible not to see the light strike Fang Zhengzhi .
The iciness that enveloped the land also engulfed the hearts of the candidates .
They did not know where the ray of light had come from or why it had struck . However, they knew that they were in enemy territory, and this ray of light was not a good sign .
”Fang Zhengzhi!”
A voice rang out from within the crowd . This voice was icy, but traces of anxiety were clear for all to hear .
When Yan Xiu saw the ray of light, he was not stunned like the others . The only thought in his mind was, how is Fang Zhengzhi?
. . .
Fang Zhengzhi did not know what Yan Xiu was thinking . If he did, he would definitely reply that he was not fine, and that he was furious .
In actual fact, Fang Zhengzhi always had a different outlook on life from the people in this world .
If he could avoid getting hurt, he would . If he could avoid fighting, he would . As such, when he was going to fight and get hurt, there was no point in asking him if he was okay .
The answer was obvious .
Fang Zhengzhi had seen Bai Xing before . As such, when he saw the figure appear in front of him with a bright red demonic eye, the only thing he could do was . . .
”Bai Xing, f*ck your mother!”
Fang Zhengzhi rarely cursed this badly . Normally, he would choose comparatively more civilized terms .
However, this time, he felt that only the crudest and most despicable swear words could describe the anger he felt .
Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood .
The bright red stream of blood rocketed through the air and landed on the snow white ground some distance away . It looked like a red flower in the snow .
In fact, Bai Xing felt the same way as Fang Zhengzhi . He too wanted to curse and swear . However, Bai Xing was a demon .
To the humans, the demons were an evil race .
However, to the demons, they were royalty . They were the rightful rulers of the world .
As such, the demons rarely chose to scold others . Ordinarily, they would choose to kill before they chose to scold .
But right now, Bai Xing really wanted to scold and curse .
It wasn't just because Fang Zhengzhi had just defiled his mother with his words . More importantly, his strike had hit home, but Fang Zhengzhi did not die!
Of course, Bai Xing's strike had hit its mark .
Even though it had been more difficult than he expected . . . When his blade was thrust towards Fang Zhengzhi's chest, the blade in Fang Zhengzhi's hand mysteriously appeared in front of his sword .
Then, there was a crystal clear sword that was aimed at his side causing him to feel like his blade wasn't his .
However, these were not enough to stop Bai Xing .
His sword still found its mark .
He swiped away Fang Zhengzhi's blade and his sword took a hit from Nangong Hao's blade . However, his sword did not stray from its intended path .
