Chapter 396: Why is he so powerful? (2/2)
There was a kneeling figure in front of her.
His cloak had been torn apart, revealing a handsome face, his green demonic eye glowing.
He stared at the youth standing in front of him.
He bit his lip, blood trickling from the edges of his mouth. His sleeves were also stained by blood.
It stretched from his shoulder all the way to his palm.
The rain continued to pummel the ground.
The blood was washed to the ground, revealing a wound so deep one could see the bone. Other than the wound, there was also a metallic glow.
”Ah, ah...” The young vice domain chief breathed heavily, thoroughly exhausted from the battle.
This attack had brought him to his knees.
The demons had always thought of themselves as a superior race. To be forced to his knees by his opponent after a single round was humiliating.
”Why is he so powerful? Why... that's impossible... how can he be this powerful...” The young demon's breathing was labored.
Fang Zhengzhi stood quietly on the cliff. He ignored the young demon vice domain chief on his knees as he lowered his sword at Yun Qingwu.
The Traceless Sword continued to glow purple, drops of blood washing of its blade and onto the ground.
”Hum!”
The blade hummed, almost like a dragon, yet almost as if it was expressing its excitement.
The domineering killing aura continued to spread in waves.
”Are you going to kill me?” Yun Qingwu spoke, her exquisite eyes looking at the purple blade in Fang Zhengzhi's hand. Her voice was calm, almost as if she was talking to a friend.
Of course, there was a blade at Yun Qingwu's throat. It was no more than three steps away.
Fang Zhengzhi did not answer Yun Qingwu's question.
He looked at Yun Qingwu quietly, the bright sword in his eye becoming clearer with each passing moment.
...
On the plain below.
More than 100,000 pairs of eyes were staring at the three figures on the cliff. To be more precise, they were looking at the Traceless Sword in Fang Zhengzhi's eyes.
His next movement would decide Yun Qingwu's fate.
Death!
Or life!
Fang Zhengzhi was in control of the situation.
Other than Yun Qingwu, there was no one else who could block Fang Zhengzhi if he chose to attack. Even Bai Xing and Wu Ji were too far away.
What else could they do other than wait?
Fang Zhengzhi's blade was much too close to Yun Qingwu. At this distance, Fang Zhengzhi would be able to kill Yun Qingwu even before they managed to close any significant distance.
”Kill!”
”Why is he still hesitating?”
”If you were in that position, could you possibly kill Yun Qingwu?”
All of the candidates were equally conflicted. They all knew that the next few moments could change the entire battle.
If the Southern Region lost the support of the demons, could they still go up against the Great Xia?
More importantly, it would make Fang Zhengzhi famous and influential.
That was Yun Qingwu.
The incredibly talented Yun Qingwu. She was a talent, who was also the young master of the demons, and someone who did not care about the fate of the humans.
Xing Qingsui looked at Fang Zhengzhi, his mouth agape. Then, he pursed his lips before his jaw dropped again. It felt like he had something to say.
Xing Yuanguo had a similar expression.
However, Xing Yuanguo only watched quietly. Even though he was the commanding general of this battle, yet he did not speak at this point.
No one knew what he was thinking.
Nangong Hao sheathed his sword, an icy mist coming out from his body. He did not chase Bai XIng and did not try to stop Wu Ji.
There was no need.
...
As time passed, Fang Zhengzhi continued to point his sword at Yun Qingwu's throat. Yun Qingwu, on the other hand, seemed to be waiting for something.
After a very long time, Yun Qingwu's voice rang out once again.
”Since you've already made up your mind, why don't you follow through? You spent all that effort to get up here. You can't possibly just let me off without a reason.” Yun Qingwu stepped forward, her dress dancing in the wind.
This time, her voice had an added tone of relief. It felt as though the locks on her heart were released.
The rain continued to pummel her veil, making it more translucent with each passing moment. Her exquisite features were revealed to Fang Zhengzhi.
She looked like a white lotus amongst the snow.
Calm and arrogant. She stood at the highest point, quietly watching everyone below.
”Kill... kill everyone who has harmed me. Kill them all, kill them all, kill... kill...” Fang Zhengzhi murmured to himself.
However, the voice was filled with terrifying iciness. It was not the voice that incited terror, it was the oppressive killing aura.
”Kaboom!” A ray of purple lightning shot through the sky, tearing a crack through the air.
At the same time, the Traceless Sword in Fang Zhengzhi's hand lit up, the purple light flowing along the blade like a pool of blood.
”Die!”
”Die!”
”Die!”
Fang Zhengzhi kept murmuring to himself.
The killing aura filled the air, circling around his feet, slowing rising to the sky like a whirlpool. It formed rings in the sky, temporarily blocking out the rain.
The bright lightsword continued to glow in Fang Zhengzhi's eyes, combining with the deep purple. It was a strange sight to behold.
