Chapter 275: What a huge hole (2/2)
His name was Su Qing, Lin Tianrong’s new favorite.
”I understand!” Su Qing replied when he saw the Crown Prince’s gaze.
Lin Tianrong nodded. He knew about the friendship between Yan Xiu and Fang Zhengzhi. However, he did not have to think about that as the Crown Prince.
All he needed to do was tell Su Qing what he wanted to do.
Then, he did not have to care how Su Qing got it done. As long as he did.
Su Qing also knew of the friendship between Yan Xiu and Fang Zhengzhi. However, when the Crown Prince tasked him to do this, all he could do was nod and think of a plan.
That was what a strategist was supposed to do.
King Duan continued to look at Yan Xiu. However, he did not make any moves. He was more concerned by another question.
Why hasn’t Fang Zhengzhi drew his sword?!
No!
He definitely will. The time is simply not ripe yet.
King Duan assured himself as he glanced at Ping Yang, who was nearby.
Ping Yang looked extremely nervous. She gripped her skirt tightly as she stared at the battle on stage, unblinking.
She continued to mutter to herself.
”Is he really going to lose? Think of something! Use a trick! Aren’t you always very smart? Why have you become dumb all of a sudden?!”
...
Yan Xiu kept up the attacks and Fang Zhengzhi had no other choice but to defend. The atmosphere became tense as everyone waited for the result.
Fang Zhengzhi was not in a good place now.
When he was blocking Yan Xiu’s attacks, he realized something quite serious.
The more lightswords he had to use, the slower they became. Furthermore, controlling them was increasingly tiring.
”I see!” Fang Zhengzhi finally understood why Yan Xiu would use such a method of offense.
However, he could not understand why Yan Xiu could keep this up for so long?
Could it be that this technique was not just a temporary spike in power? Then why was he in so much pain? More importantly, why did such a technique exist?
This did not make any sense!
If this was a long term increase in power, that would make the user invincible! Why was Yan Xiu the only person using it?
Fang Zhengzhi did not understand this.
At that very moment...
An icy gust of wind rang out by his ear.
”What the hell?” Fang Zhengzhi leaned backwards. The wind seemed to brush past his face. Then, a crack appeared just beneath his feet.
It was a good thing his face was untouched!
Fang Zhengzhi heaved a sigh of relief. He glanced in the direction of the attack.
The story was not over.
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to curse.
What the f*ck!
Such a huge hole!
He had no idea whether he was hallucinating, or if there was an actual hole. Either way, there was a gaping hole in the sword net to Fang Zhengzhi’s left.
Just as he was about to mend it with his energy, he heard a gust of wind to his right.
”God damn it!” Fang Zhengzhi realized that his sword net was broken. Furthermore, it was being broken from all sides.
I thought this was just a temporary buff?
Why is he just as strong even after five minutes of intense battle?
Fang Zhengzhi felt that it was time to change his strategy. However, Yan Xiu did not give him much time to think.
After the wind attacks...
Yan Xiu arrived next to Fang Zhengzhi.
They were less than a meter apart. Fang Zhengzhi could clearly see the beads of sweat on Yan Xiu’s forehead, as well as the two pale red whirlpools beneath his feet.
A strange feeling rose in his heart.
Fang Zhengzhi felt like there was a familiar aura from the whirlpools. He had felt this somewhere before.
But where?
Fang Zhengzhi could not recall.
In all honesty, he did not have much time to think either. Yan Xiu had already begun his attacks. Every swipe was quick and vicious.
”Kacha!”
Fang Zhengzhi’s sleeve was sliced once again when he dodged a little more slowly.
His short sleeved shirt was about to be sliced into a singlet.
For the first time, Fang Zhengzhi was being embarrassed on stage. Furthermore, the person embarrassing him was none other than Yan Xiu.
”Secret Weapon!”
At such a critical moment, Fang Zhengzhi had no choice but to use his secret weapon.
In that instant, the entire sky exploded in a ball of light. All sorts of weapons were thrown out into the sky.
However...
It was no f*cking use.
Yan Xiu seemed to have predicted that Fang Zhengzhi would do that. A faint red glow immediately appeared in front of him.
All of those cheap weapons fell to the ground. They were of absolutely no threat.
Fang Zhengzhi’s gaze froze. He knew that these weapons would not cause any harm to Yan Xiu. However, he wanted to buy some time.
He wanted to push Yan Xiu back and give himself some breathing space.
However, the ease with which Yan Xiu blocked the attack made him unsettled.
He had seen this before.
Xing Hou had done something similar back at the Divine Constabulary. All of his secret weapons were of no use.
And now...
Yan Xiu was using a similar technique.
What in the world is going on?!
In that moment, Fang Zhengzhi thought about the battle between Xing Yuanguo and Bai Xing in The Vast World. At that time, Xing Yuanguo was surrounded by a dense purple glow.
Bai Xing was surrounded by a silver light.
”Could it be...” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the pale red whirlpool beneath Yan Xiu’s feet. He suddenly thought of a nearly impossible idea.
Even though he did not want to admit it, he thought that there was a 50% chance that it was true.
No way?
If that was the case, I doubt we can still play in the future?
