Fang Zhengzhi roared as if he was afraid that Ying Shan wouldn’t know.
”Hidden weapon?” Ying Shan definitely didn’t feel that using a hidden weapon behind his back was shameless. Not too long ago, he had used the same method to harm majority of the examinees at the scene.
However, he didn’t slow down. Because, his target was Nangong Mu.
On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi’s actions now was undoubtedly disturbing him from behind.
With his vast battle experiences, Ying Shan definitely wouldn’t be held back by Fang Zhengzhi’s harmless disturbance.
Fang Zhengzhi’s state was only Heavenly Reflection. Even if he threw out a few hidden weapons, how could they even harm him?
On the other hand, Nangong Mu had already raised his sword once again and the chain was very likely to be broken.
Time was everything.
Hence, Ying Shan continued to advance.
Not knowing what hidden weapons Fang Zhengzhi threw at him, he instinctively waved the blade on his hands behind his back, causing a black barrier to appear behind him.
That was enough.
But…
The impact of the hidden weapon he imagined seemed a little too forceful.
”Boom!” A loud bang resounded.
The black barrier behind Ying Shan’s back was completely shattered without any resistance, turning into spots of black light. A force with the power of a volcanic explosion rushed towards him, instantly slamming into Ying Shan’s back.
Ying Shan, who didn’t have any time to react, stumbled and almost fell face-down onto the ground.
The rumbling in his chest resembled the rolling of waves.
”Pssh!” A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from Ying Shan’s mouth into the air, which quickly turned into steam. A powerful scorching, piercing pain came from the skin on his back.
Without even looking, Ying Shan knew that he suffered minimally broken bones and torn muscles.
Ying Shan was deeply shaken.
He really couldn’t understand what kind of hidden weapon had such a strong power?!
Turning back his head, he discovered a fully scarlet spear impaled onto the ground. The golden rays glinted from the tip of the spear, glowing faintly from under the ground.
On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi dashed towards the spear with lightning speed and smoothly regained the spear.
”I have already reminded you, yet you didn’t take it seriously? You are really disappointing me too much…” Fang Zhengzhi held the Blazing Qilin Spear and gazed at Ying Shan with an innocent expression on his face.
”The Blazing Qilin Spear?! You… You used the Blazing Qilin Spear as your hidden weapon?” Ying Shan’s eyes were wide with shock.
He would never have thought that Fang Zhengzhi would be so brave as to send the Blazing Qilin Spear as a hidden weapon flying towards his back.
One must note that under the circumstances just now, if he didn’t pursue Nangong Mu, or, as long as he treated it a little more seriously and turned his head around to look, that Blazing Qilin Spear would definitely land in his hands.
Throwing the Blazing Qilin Spear as a hidden weapon? This was the act of a daredevil.
Not only was Ying Shan unable to comprehend this, the rest of the people on the scene also stared with their eyes opened wide.
Nobody would ever had thought that Fang Zhengzhi’s ”hidden weapon” was actually the powerful Blazing Qilin Spear! Wasn’t that a little too much?
”He threw out the Blazing Qilin Spear?!”
”Oh my God, that’s the Blazing Qilin Spear? Isn’t he afraid that…”
”This is simply nonsense!”
The examinees stared at Fang Zhengzhi in disbelief, their mouths agape.
Ping Yang’s face similarly turned somewhat pale with fear.
Standing behind Fang Zhengzhi, she had the clearest view of what had transpired.
When Fang Zhengzhi shouted out, ”watch out for my hidden weapon”, the Blazing Qilin Spear had already left his hands and turned into a ray of light and flew towards Ying Shan, bringing along a small golden glow.
At that moment, her heart had fallen apart.
Most importantly, Fang Zhengzhi had purposely shouted, ”Watch… hidden weapon!”
The most important factor was the word, ”watch”.
What is this guy trying to do? You don’t value other people’s treasures at all? Ping Yang regretted somewhat, regretted lending her Blazing Qilin Spear to Fang Zhengzhi.
However, what left her speechless was that Fang Zhengzhi had actually retrieved the Blazing Qilin Spear. Furthermore, he seemed to have caused Ying Shan of the Supernatural State to spurt out a mouthful of blood?
That was completely unbelievable.
Yan Xiu had also witnessed Fang Zhengzhi’s actions. No matter how much he trusted Fang Zhengzhi, he was ultimately stunned by such a daring move.
However, fortunately, Ying Shan actually didn’t turn around.
Instead, he used a simple black barrier to defend against the Blazing Qilin Spear, the treasure with the greatest offensive power among the ten great treasures of the Great Xia Dynasty.
This move was naturally effective.
However…
This move? Why is this effective?!
Nobody had thought of such an outcome. However, it was a fact that Ying Shan didn’t use his full powers to defend against this move.
One move was enough to injure Ying Shan?
Among the people present at the scene, even Nangong Mu with his Green and Blue Secret Art was unable to injure Ying Shan beyond a few superficial wounds. However, Fang Zhengzhi’s move caused Ying Shan to spurt out a mouthful of blood?
It was obvious who was better.
”Clang!”
Right at this moment, a crisp sound snapped people out of their thoughts.
Nangong Mu’s sword had already landed at this moment. One chain among the four black chains had already been broken off. This caused the wound on his chest to once again flow with streams of bright, fresh blood.
However, he didn’t stop.
Instead, he continued to slash towards the other three chains.
Nangong Mu didn’t distract himself by observing Fang Zhengzhi’s battle. For some unknown reason, he felt that Fang Zhengzhi would definitely be able to hold back Ying Shan.
Maybe it was because Fang Zhengzhi was able to rile up Ying Shan’s emotions with just a few sentences previously.
Or, maybe it was because that there was no other choice at the moment.
After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to focus on what he was supposed to do. As for the rest, he would let Fang Zhengzhi settle them.
Just as Nangong Mu had expected.
After Fang Zhengzhi’s powerful blow, Ying Shan stopped. His eyes flashed with a faint cold glow. For the second time, he felt shamed. And this time, it was built upon his vast battle experiences.
Hidden weapon…
Who in this world would use the Blazing Qilin Spear as a hidden weapon?
He really wanted to turn around and grab Fang Zhengzhi, then place his mouth close to Fang Zhengzhi’s ear and shout, ”Why would you throw the Blazing Qilin Spear?”
However, he couldn't do this. Because, he had to stop Nangong Mu.
Once the sword was pulled out.
Only the Heavens would know whether the World of the Sage would once again fall under the control of the Imperial Academy. When that time comes, all his plans would be foiled. Hence, he didn’t have time to delay any further.
Injury?
This was indeed true. However, being of the Supernatural State, how could he be afraid of injuries? The blood and charred flesh on his back began to peel off rapidly, and slowly began to recover with a speed that could be observed with one’s naked eyes.
