Chapter 445: I want you dead (2/2)
”Firstly, you must be able to take it.” Fang Zhengzhi's mouth twitched. He was not about to be outpostured.
”Okay, I will agree to your terms, but you must be the one to carry out the swap!” Canyang nodded after some hesitation.
”I have to stay behind?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at his surroundings before looking at Chi Guyan.
After hearing the exchange, Chi Guyan looked at Fang Zhengzhi, her mind working before she nodded towards him.
”F*ck me! What does that mean? Are you going to stay?!” Fang Zhengzhi cussed in his heart.
However, he didn't make a sound.
Fang Zhengzhi knew exactly why Canyang wanted him to be the person to execute the exchange.
However...
He didn't have a choice.
He couldn't possibly ignore Ping Yang.
If the demons withdrew from the Iron Hill Settlement...
The Southern Region would have a chance of survival. That also meant that he had a way of 'escaping'.
However... he had to be able to get to the escape route first.
That being said, at least this choice left him some options.
Fang Zhengzhi knew that Canyang would not delay this any longer. Getting the demons to withdraw from the Iron Hill Settlement temporarily was the best deal they were going to get.
”Okay, I agree to your terms!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
He did not have any other option. Ping Yang needed to be saved. He may have to use Ping Yang as a human shield after...
Considering that she had the Red Flame Flower Armor...
She should be able to take a few hits.
”Give the order, have the army withdraw from the Iron Hill Settlement.” Canyang showed no hesitation.
He gave the order immediately.
”Yes, sir!” The demon domain chiefs all nodded when they heard the order.
After nodding, the demons looked at Fang Zhengzhi with dagger-like stares.
Fang Zhengzhi was their number one enemy.
This had to do with the fact that he was a talent.
But more importantly...
They had a problem with Fang Zhengzhi's actions.
His actions on the Feng Su cliff as well as his recent attack on Yun Qingwu which rendered her unconscious was intolerable!
The demons had their pride to defend.
”Withdraw!”
”Withdraw!”
”Pass the order, withdraw our troops!”
The voices of the demons rang out as they began their withdrawal in an orderly fashion.
Shan Ling looked at the orderly, withdrawing demons in shock.
He knew exactly how the demons were like years ago.
Yun Qingwu!
This reputable leader of the demons... what technique did she use to organize the demons into the state they are today?
”Withdraw!”
”Withdraw!”
These voices reverberated through the settlement.
Before long, all of the bloodthirsty demons at the gates of the Iron Hill Settlement had all withdrawn back to their camps.
”Brother, what is going on?” Princess Shan Yu was completely floored when she saw the demons withdraw.
She was not comfortable with it.
”Don't ask any questions now. Just withdraw back to the settlement and strengthen our defences!” Shan Ling ordered.
Princess Shan Yu was about to nod when she spotted a thin figure in blue.
That was not the most important point. More importantly, there was a lady in white lying down next to him.
”Yun QIngwu?! How is that possible?” Princess Shan Yu was stunned.
She could not figure out how Fang Zhengzhi had managed to escape the restraints of the Heavenly Dao! After all, she had been in the settlement coordinating the defences
How did Yun Qingwu end up in a comatose state?
And...
What the hell happened here?
”Aren't you going to carry out your orders?” Shan Ling frowned.
”But...” Princess Shan Yu looked at Fang Zhengzhi, Chi Guyan, as well as the comatose Yun Qingwu and hesitated.
”Aish, Fang Zhengzhi has accessed the Heavenly Dao.” Shan Ling looked at Princess Shan Yu and sighed, knowing exactly what she was thinking.
”What?! He... he managed to wield it?!” Princess Shan Yu's eyes widened in disbelief.
”Yes, we have no idea how he did it, but those are the facts. He freed himself from the restraints and knocked Yun Qingwu out.” Shan Ling could understand the shock and confusion.
Even he himself was stunned when he saw it.
Fang Zhengzhi was only 16 years old!
If he could access and wield the Heavenly Dao at this age, what could he do in the future? If Shan Ling was to become an Emperor, Fang Zhengzhi must be disposed of.
Of course...
Fang Zhengzhi's death was a foregone conclusion.
Shan Ling knew for a fact that since Canyang had ordered the withdrawal of the demons, he wasn't going to let Fang Zhengzhi escape.
”Okay, we can begin the exchange now.” Canyang's voice rang out.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at the calm Chi Guyan, wondering why she wasn't leaving.
”Are you going?”
”No.” Chi Guyan replied calmly.
”Are you not afraid of dying?”
”Nope, he wants your life, not mine.” Chi Guyan replied calmly.
”F*ck!” Fang Zhengzhi had initially been moved by Chi Guyan's answer, but her subsequent response made him want to raise his middle finger to her.
However, he quickly turned to look at Ping Yang.
Now...
What was he going to do?
