Chapter 276: Asura

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

How was he going to fight someone with abilities equivalent to Xing Yuanguo?

Even though Fang Zhengzhi did not know how powerful Xing Yuanguo was, he remembered that Bai Xing’s demon eye was red. The Supernatural State Ying Shan had a green demon eye.

It was not difficult to realize that Xing Yuanguo was at least a state more powerful than Ying Shan. That meant that he was beyond the Supernatural State.

Fang Zhengzhi really wanted to ask Yan Xiu what kind of place the ”Ancestral Hell” was. However, Yan Xiu did not give him that chance.

After defending against the secret weapons, Yan Xiu did not slow down.

He stepped on the two whirlpools and charged towards Fang Zhengzhi. The distance between the two of them closed.

Coupled with Yan Xiu’s phantom like speed, Fang Zhengzhi had no time to react. He felt an icy gust of wind against his face.

Dodge!

That was his only option.

However, he did not have many ideas as to how he was going to dodge. Yan Xiu was clearly more powerful. Under such a circumstance, Fang Zhengzhi had no way of winning, not unless a miracle happened.

Was he going to wait for a miracle?

Fang Zhengzhi was not stupid. There were no such things as miracles or luck.

Fang Zhengzhi still remembered something that his teacher taught him when he was younger. ”If you can’t get a miracle, make one.”

He got the first top spot in his entire life because of that.

However...

He was first from the back.

Of course, it was a painful process, but it had a happy ending. Because of that last place, he was beaten senseless when he got home.

Ever since then, he had worked hard for what he wanted, eventually creating a miracle of his own.

He had made it into the university of his dreams. It was a pity that he made a small mistake when choosing his major. However, that was a memory from his ”previous life”.

He had to start from scratch here. He needed to create another miracle.

In a duel, only two things were important - ability and wit.

In times of trouble, one needed to remain calm and composed.

Yan Xiu was able to suppress him with his abilities. Furthermore, he was in pain now. Yan Xiu would aim to finish off Fang Zhengzhi as quickly as possible.

Fang Zhengzhi decided to give Yan Xiu a ‘chance’.

It was akin to baiting his opponent in. When they think that you have slipped, they would be less alert.

Fang Zhengzhi dodged.

However, he did not dodge well. When the wind brushed past him, he leaned backwards just a little too much, falling to the ground.

”Woosh!”

The gust of wind brushed past his head.

Fang Zhengzhi’s expression changed, visibly more anxious than before. He ‘accidentally’ fell on his butt. Then, as he climbed back to his feet...

He showed Yan Xiu his back in his ‘panic’.

That way, Yan Xiu would be standing behind Fang Zhengzhi. Everything was perfect.

All of the officials were excited when they saw this.

”It’s a good chance!”

”He is still too young. He flusters when meeting a stronger opponent!”

”If he was more stable, he may have been able to hold on for another 15 minutes. But now, it looks like the duel is over!”

”It’s not his fault either. Yan Xiu is much more powerful.”

All of the officials looked on condescendingly at the flustered Fang Zhengzhi.

Yan Xiu strode over to Fang Zhengzhi.

He was not going to hold back during the duel.

This was his respect towards Fang Zhengzhi, and his respect towards their friendship. Yan Xiu aimed for Fang Zhengzhi’s back.

Even though humans had many acupoints in the back, many of them would not result in lethal or internal injuries. However, it could send a person flying off the stage.

As such, Yan Xiu put everything he had into this attack.

However...

In the moment he raised his hand, his pained expression worsened and the two whirlpools underneath his feet trembled.

The 15 minutes of exertion were taking his toll.

He was already dehydrated from all the sweating.

Just as Fang Zhengzhi had guessed, Yan Xiu wanted to end this as quickly as possible. He did not want this to drag out.

In the River of Trust Province examinations, Yan Xiu had duelled with Fang Zhengzhi once. Back then, he learnt that Fang Zhengzhi had more endurance than him.

He was not going to let Fang Zhengzhi take advantage of his endurance again.

Fang Zhengzhi felt a gust of wind at his back. Without turning back, he knew that Yan Xiu was behind him.

To have one’s opponent behind you...

This was the most dangerous kind of situation. In this kind of situation, one ordinarily had only two choices. One, he could just lunge forward in an attempt to dodge. Two, he could kick backwards and aim to hit Yan Xiu’s privates.

Both were out of the question.

The first one was way too embarrassing.

The second one was too domineering. If he didn’t find the mark, he would lose this round. If he managed to hit his mark, Yan Xiu would not be able to start a family ever again.

However, all of these were considered in his plan. He had a much better way of dealing with the incoming attack.

For example...

He fell forward, almost as if he was desperately trying to dodge.

It was extremely embarrassing!

Yan Xiu was not going to let a golden opportunity like that slip by. When Fang Zhengzhi lunged forward, he followed closely behind.

Then, he thrust his palm towards the prone Fang Zhengzhi.

At this moment...

A lightsword appeared in front of his eyes.

Then a second one, a third one, a fourth one...

In an instant, six lightswords shot towards him from all directions at great speed.
