Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
”His body is the arrow?!”
Not only were the demon elites stunned by what they saw, even Bai Xing and Wu Ji were shocked .
Just as what they had thought . . .
It would be impossible for an individual to kill his way to the top of the mountain . Even Xing Yuanguo, the most powerful of them all, would not think of doing such a thing .
But . . .
Fang Zhengzhi managed to do it .
He did it in the most unbelievable fas.h.i.+on . With everyone watching him, he managed to morph into a purple ray of light and shoot himself at Yun Qingwu .
This was not a difficult technique .
Bai Xing and Wu Ji could do it . Even any of the demon elites with a good grasp of bow techniques could do it .
But they did not manage to think of it .
It wasn't that they couldn't think of such a plan ordinarily . However, none of them would be able to think of it in the heat of battle .
Who in the world would have thought that Fang Zhengzhi would have used The Returning Dragon for the sole purpose of creating a crevice to hold the bow?
Shock, awe, helplessness .
This was exactly what Bai Xing and Wu Ji were feeling . They wanted to rush to the top and save Yun Qingwu, but they were unable to .
Fang Zhengzhi's Sun Shooting Bow was still in the crevice .
However, once one person used this technique, it would be much more difficult for a second person to repeat the feat .
Even if they managed to get to the bow . . .
What use was it now?
Fang Zhengzhi was not as quick as Bai Xing, but when he was augmented by the Sun Shooting Bow, even Bai Xing could not stop him .
. . .
A ray of purple light shot skyward through the torrential rain . Then, it shot back down towards Yun Qingwu like a sword .
The young vice domain chief standing next to Yun Qingwu stiffened . The arrogant smirk was wiped off his face, completely replaced with shock .
If Fang Zhengzhi had climbed up from below . . .
He would have more than a hundred ways to defeat Fang Zhengzhi . He could probably kill Fang Zhengzhi . After all, he had the high ground .
However, he suddenly realized that Fang Zhengzhi was on top of him . How could he still take such an opponent lightly?
”s.h.i.+ng!” He unsheathed his blade . It was a unique blade with a forked tip . Furthermore, the blade was even sharper than ordinary ones .
This was his weapon .
It was named 'Spectre' .
If the Blazing Qilin Spear was one of the 10 greatest treasures of the Great Xia Dynasty, then Spectre was one of the five greatest treasures of the demons .
For a young demon like him to be in possession of such a blade . . .
He was clearly of n.o.ble blood .
However, this did not have much implication as to whether he could defend against Fang Zhengzhi's attack . Despite his standing, he still stepped in front of Yun Qingwu when he saw Fang Zhengzhi .
Yun Qingwu raised her head as she watched Fang Zhengzhi quietly . She felt the oppressive wave of killing aura cras.h.i.+ng down towards her .
”So he made it . . . ” Yun Qingwu's lips parted slightly as she murmured to herself . It was almost as if she knew that this was going to happen all along .
”Kacha!” Purple lightning shot through the dark clouds and a humongous tree formed from purple lightning bolts covered the entire area .
The purple figure continued to weave through the clouds like a dragon as it emitted a powerful aura .
”Die!” An icy voice echoed through the clouds .
Then, a ray of purple light shot out from inside the clouds . There was a person encased in the light, shooting to the ground like a sword .
The cold eyes locked on the figure in the plain white dress, the oppressive killing aura cras.h.i.+ng earthward .
This was an aura that destroyed everything in its path .
When coupled with the radiant lightsword, this was a sight that would strike terror into the bravest of hearts .
”Why is he so powerful?!” The young vice domain chief raised his sword in the air . He gripped the scale-like pattern on the hilt of his sword tightly .
Never in his life had he felt the emotions he felt now .
That kind of bone-chilling cold coupled with the powerful killing aura made him understand the true meaning of fear .
He finally understood why s.h.i.+ Kou had failed .
s.h.i.+ Kou did not fail because of cultivation state .
He failed because his aura was weaker!
Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead . Within moments, his entire body was drenched in sweat .
However, he still held the Spectre Blade high up in the air . He showed no signs of relaxing . Despite his paling expression, his hand did not tremble .
At that moment, the jade green demonic eye on his forehead shone radiantly .
The young vice domain chief continued to stare at the sword in the sky . He concentrated on the dragon light ray of purple circling the blade .
”Boom!” A resounding clash echoed out, causing the entire Feng Su cliff to shake . Even the ground below began to tremble .
The torrential rain continued to hinder visibility, but it did not prevent the spectators from being awed by what they saw .
The soldiers of the Great Xia gripped the spears in their hands whilst the soldiers of the Southern Region grabbed their swords . The demon elites glared and stopped in their tracks .
The candidates, the Dragon Protection Squad, the 500 silver horned wolves, Xing Qingsui, Nangong Hao, Bai Xing, Wu Ji, even Xing Yuanguo stopped what they were doing as they looked at the clash atop the cliff .
”Kacha!” A huge crack appeared on the cliff .
A humongous rock was shaved off the cliff and began rolling down . With a loud boom, it crashed into the ground and shattered .
The torrential rain pummeled the newly exposed rock race . The loose pieces were washed off, revealing the hard rock underneath .
At this moment . . .
There were three people standing next to where the rock broke off .
Yun Qingwu's white dress danced in the wind, revealing her slender snow white legs . There was a large crevice no more than a finger's length from where she stood .
