Chapter 446: What a man should do
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The demons had already withdrawn and he had Yun Qingwu as a hostage . If Fang Zhengzhi steeled himself and ignored Ping Yang . . .
Then . . .
He should be able to survive .
However, Fang Zhengzhi had no way to bring himself to do something so despicable . He was shameless, but he was not that vicious .
He had never truly considered leaving Ping Yang in the lurch .
The hostages had to be exchanged and Ping Yang had to be saved .
As for Yun Qingwu . . .
Even though Yun Qingwu was his opponent, he did not actually have any personal feud with her .
There was no clear right or wrong between the two of them .
The hostage exchange would be simple, and he would have to deliver Yun Qingwu safely .
Those were things that Canyang believed .
Fang Zhengzhi did not think that Canyang would hurt Ping Yang in the process, just like how Canyang expected that Fang Zhengzhi would save Ping Yang .
The key here was not the hostage exchange .
It was what came after .
Fang Zhengzhi frowned . His current position meant that he was slightly nearer to the demons . If he tried to break for the Iron Hill Settlement . . .
It was unlikely that he would be able to get very far .
Even though he had not clashed with Canyang, he was not that arrogant to think that Canyang would be slower than him .
So what was he going to do if he couldn't beat Canyang in speed?
Was he going to throw a bag of ashes at Canyang's eyes? Use some of his hidden weapons?
These were some of the most common attacks that Fang Zhengzhi had used against his opponents . And then, there was his flashbang . . .
It was a pity that . . .
None of these were effective against Canyang . . .
Canyang was blind . Throwing ashes, using secret weapons, or even activating a flashbang would only disadvantage himself .
A sneak attack . . .
Didn't seem very helpful here .
Beads of sweat began to form on Fang Zhengzhi's forehead . A sneak attack was his forte, but it was useless when going up against a blind man .
If he couldn't launch a sneak attack . . .
How was he going to find an opportunity to escape?
Was he supposed to go up against Canyang head on?
That would be impossible!
Fang Zhengzhi did not even want to consider this option . Canyang was a half sage who knew the Heavenly Rebirth Dao . Going up against him would be akin to suicide .
He couldn't sneak up on Canyang, neither could he face Canyang .
Fang Zhengzhi was in an extremely sticky situation . He had wanted to use Ping Yang as a meat s.h.i.+eld, but Chi Guyan had decided to stay behind .
Ping Yang couldn't possibly block for both of them .
More importantly, Chi Guyan would never let him use Ping Yang as a s.h.i.+eld .
Having Chi Guyan in the picture complicated things greatly .
What was he supposed to do now?
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chi Guyan and evaluated his position . He concluded that he would die after the hostages were exchanged .
”Are you done? There is a limit to my patience . ” Canyang interrupted Fang Zhengzhi's train of thoughts .
”Why are you in such a hurry? My death is a foregone conclusion, but I would like to leave a will . ” Fang Zhengzhi replied .
”Okay . ” Canyang nodded .
”I am about to tell you my last words, come closer to me . I do not want this guy to hear it . ” Fang Zhengzhi whispered to Chi Guyan .
”It's no use . With Canyang's abilities, he would be able to hear you no matter how soft you are . ” Chi Guyan replied .
”Oh . . . ” Fang Zhengzhi responded .
He had heard that the blind tend to have enhanced hearing . However, he did not expect Canyang's abilities to be augmented to such an extent .
That being said, Chi Guyan would never lie to him about something like this .
A will?
Fang Zhengzhi would never bother about something like that .
Actually, he wanted to discuss his plan with Chi Guyan . He couldn't possibly do that if Canyang could hear them .
That would be suicidal .
Just as he was thinking about it, a white, smooth hand appeared in front of him . It looked like the world's most exquisite art piece .
”You can't say, but you can write . ” Chi Guyan did not look at Fang Zhengzhi . Her expression was calm as she extended her hand .
”Ahem . . . ” Fang Zhengzhi cleared his throat .
He had not thought of this method, but since Chi Guyan had proposed it, he could not turn her down .
He was a man after all .
He had to be decisive . Sometimes, he just had to suck it up and do what was right, even if it made him uncomfortable .
Furthermore . . .
In the face of the enemy, sometimes, 'sacrifices' needed to be made .
Fang Zhengzhi took Chi Guyan's hands in his and touched it, feeling its smoothness and warmth .
Chi Guyan's body trembled slightly .
However, she showed no intention of pulling her hand back . She looked extremely calm .
She had been raised in a military family and grew up amongst soldiers . Even though she was a lady, she carried herself like a soldier .
. . .
On the walls of the Iron Hill Settlement . . .
Countless pairs of eyes looked at the few figures at the gate . They were all looking at Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan .
The eyes of the Dragon Protection Squad widened .
The jaws of the Mountain Breaking Army dropped .
The Southern Region soldiers wanted to launch their spears at them . None of them saw this coming .
