Chapter 448: Unprecedented Genius
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Fang Zhengzhi was truly stunned .
He had always known that the Dao of All Creation drew from the energy of the surroundings . One could wield the power of mountains and use that to pressure one's opponents .
One could also harness stars, or the sun, or moonlight, or even constellations .
All of these were powers at a cultivator's disposal .
However, these were powers that a cultivator tapped on .
It was completely unfathomable for someone to actually create a mountain! Furthermore, Canyang had created a mountain out of virtually nothing!
Fang Zhengzhi felt like he should be running . However, just as he was preparing to run, his body was rooted .
Because . . .
The ground beneath his feet had turned into a swamp, and green vines were wrapped around his legs .
The green vines were climbing up to his thighs slowly but surely . They were pulling him into the swamp .
In that moment .
Tears welled up in Fang Zhengzhi's eyes .
He did expect a half sage to be powerful and he knew that he could not last many rounds . However, he didn't expect to lose within the first round .
He had a mountain above him, a swamp below him, and vines pulling him down .
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to escape .
But how was he going to?
Canyang was demonstrating absolute domination . It was almost like taking candy from a baby .
From the walls of the Iron Hill Settlement .
The Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army were stunned .
”How powerful!”
”Is this the power of a half sage?”
”No, Canyang has spent more than a decade being a half sage . Right now, he should be nearing the abilities of a sage!”
As they were gasping in awe at Canyang's power, they looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was being held in place by the vines . They looked on with guilt in their expressions .
At this point .
They knew why Fang Zhengzhi had run .
Shamelessness?
No this wasn't cowardice or shamelessness . This was wit and intellect . Fang Zhengzhi had outthought them all .
It was a pity that it wasn't sufficient to save his life .
Shan Ling clenched his fists and his eyes glittered . He truly admired Fang Zhengzhi's talent .
His admiration of Fang Zhengzhi . . .
Caused his eyes began glowing brighter and brighter .
He felt like he was watching the downfall of a true genius .
Princess Shan Yu's knuckles also whitened as she witnessed the duel below . She was extremely anxious .
The anger she felt before . . .
Had all disappeared when Canyang appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi .
. . .
The mountain blocked out the starlight .
There was now virtually no light . The spectators on the wall of the settlement looked down at Fang Zhengzhi .
They knew that even a genius like Fang Zhengzhi could not defend against such a powerful attack .
They expected Fang Zhengzhi to despair .
But, Fang Zhengzhi did not .
Even though Fang Zhengzhi was slightly surprised, he was clearly not despairing .
”Could it be that he still has a trick up his sleeve?”
That question floated through everyone's mind, but none of them could figure out what Fang Zhengzhi's plan was .
Just as they were thinking about it .
A ray of purple light shot skyward from the city walls .
When that light sword appeared in the sky, it engulfed the entire area with a terrifying battle intent .
It was awe-inspiring .
”Boom!”
The purple lightsword crashed straight into the mountain, creating a huge explosion which shook the earth .
”Break!” A crisp voice reverberated through the air, carrying with it an intense air of confidence .
And then . . .
The mountain shuddered before shattering into a billion pieces .
Then, a bright white light shot into the sky . It was significantly weaker than the purple light sword .
However . . .
No one questioned the power of this light sword .
It was extremely icy and thin, but the light it carried could illuminate the entire Iron Hill Settlement .
”Kacha!”
The white light crashed to the ground .
The vines began to break and the swamp began to freeze over .
These two sudden rays of light shocked all of the soldiers on the wall .
They looked at the figure in the purplish golden robe standing tall on the city walls .
No one questioned his power or authority .
He was the pillar of the Great Xia, the leader of the 13 Constabularies, Xing Yuanguo .
The person next to Xing Yuanguo was someone dressed in a white academic robe .
His drawn blade emanated an icy aura .
Nangong Hao .
The Dragon Protection Squad and Mountain Breaking Army looked at Fang Zhengzhi after experiencing the power of the two strikes .
They finally understood why Fang Zhengzhi was merely surprised .
Could it be . . .
That he had calculated it all?
Just as the thought flashed through their minds, they looked at each other with a sense of awe and respect .
Forcing Canyang to abandon Princess Ping Yang . . .
That gave Chi Guyan a chance to save Ping Yang .
Then, he also calculated the time when Canyang would intercept him, and he made sure that he was within striking distance of Xing Yuanguo and Nangong Hao .
Talent?
No, this wasn't just mere talent .
