783 Never Let Go After Succeeding (1/2)
”Shut up, you have no right to call our master by her name!” Cang Yue stared coldly at Lin Mubai before turning to look at Fang Zhengzhi.
”Fang Zhengzhi, haven't you been calling for me to come out? I'm here now. What do you want?”
”Hehe, make a guess!” Fang Zhengzhi beamed as the purple light in his eyes became more active. Purple light was flowing all over his black armour.
Just as he had finished speaking.
Fang Zhengzhi made his move. A purple stream of light made its way to the earth at a blinding speed. It was rushing directly at Cang Yuan, who was looking up into the sky.
”Lady Cang Yue, be careful!” Green Jade and company had not expected Fang Zhengzhi to attack with such decisiveness.
Seeing Fang Zhengzhi's impeding assault, Green Jade and company rushed instinctively to Cang Yue's side. Their bodies glowed silvery-white as they enclosed Cang Yue in a protective circle.
The dazzling stars were brilliant indeed!
Cang Yue had not moved. Her only response to Fang Yuan's approaching sword attack was to squeeze the silver light rays between the thumbs and forefingers of both her hands.
Whoosh!
Following the movement of Cang Yue's hands, the continuous stream of silvery-white light formed by Green Jade and company lashed about like a large whip.
”Crack!” The Traceless Sword in Fang Zhengzhi's hands had come into contact with the flowing stream of light. It was as if the sword had sunk into a muddy surface.
It was becoming more and more difficult for the Traceless Sword to slash downwards.
Fang Zhengzhi narrowed his eyes. He would never admit that his powers were weaker than Cang Yue's.
In truth, he had noticed that the strange phenomenon occurring before his eyes had played out in the Jade Bamboo Region before.
Fang Zhengzhi was still baffled by it back in the Jade Bamboo Region but now that he had witnessed the silvery-white light stream created by Green Jade and company, he realised that he had his answer.
There was no way that Ling Yun Tower had so many people who had grasped the Dao of Starlight and could manipulate starlight with their fingers.
The only explanation for the phenomenon might lie in the fact that there was a secret that Fang Zhengzhi had not figured out yet.
The Jade Bamboo Region…
The galaxy and starlight!
Memories surfaced in Fang Zhengzhi's mind. The biggest difference between the two was the fact that the Jade Bamboo Region transformed into the starlights that formed the galaxy.
Another thing he took note of was how the Jade Bamboo Region was deployed by the five disciples at Rebirth State who were guarding the gate, and the disciples who showed up afterwards just joined them directly. However, it was Cang Yue leading the disciples this time, in other words, she was forcefully changing the Dao techniques of Qing Yu and the rest.
That's right!
The respective Daos of Green Jade and company had been changed!
Fang Yuan faintly recalled that when Green Jade and company had surrounded them, their bodies did not glow up but they had created a net-like formation.
Now that Cang Yue had appeared, Green Jade and company had their bodies light up as the starlight broke them out from the restraints of the Heaven Dao.
What was going on?
Fang Zhengzhi had some serious doubts in his mind but he continued to push his sword through the resistive layer of defence. He was certain that he would succeed eventually.
As long as…
He was strong enough!
Fang Zhengzhi was under pressure. He had already failed to destroy Ling Yun Tower. If he also failed to deal with Cang Yue, it would be an utter embarrassment.
He still had not managed to figure out how Cang Yue was resisting him.
Still, it did not mean that he would not be able to defeat Cang Yue. After all, it was possible to defeat ten skilled opponents if one was powerful enough!
”I will break you!” Fang Zhengzhi roared. The blade of the sword tilted to replace the slashing action with a piercing action. The tip of the blade was threatening to impale Cang Yue's face.
”Retreat!” Cang Yue had turned pale and her eyes were glazed over with fear for a moment.
She barely managed to dodge Fang Zhengzhi's attack as she moved backwards with heavy feet.
She shouted an order to her followers.
Everyone dispersed from the area with haste in one coordinated movement.
It was indeed a close shave for Cang Yue, Green Jade and company. It was all coming to an end.
Or was it?
Fang Zhengzhi continued to drive the Traceless Sword downwards. He had no intention of chasing after Cang Yue.
”Pierce!” The entire blade of the Traceless Sword slid into the ground. Fang Zhengzhi began to smile.
Fang Zhengzhi was sure that his Traceless Sword was not only able to break up the starlight formation, but also ensure that no one would escape its wrath.
This was true domination!
”Boom!”
The moment the sword entered the ground, crooked rays of purple light emerged from the ground. They numbered in the thousands and looked like a gathering of dragons.
It was the Hundred Dragon Slash!
”Ah!” A green-robes woman fell to the ground. Blood spurted from a gash that stretched from her thighs to her chest and stained her body red.
”Ah… ah…”
Screams filled the air as the other green-robed women collapsed to the ground and contributed to the growing river of blood.
The sight confounded Ping Yang and Lin Mubai.
Everything had happened so quickly from Cang Yue's appearance to Fang Zhengzhi's sword attack. Now, more than a dozen green-robed women lay severely injured on the floor.
Too fast!
Too furious!
One sword attack had eliminated more than a dozen disciples of Ling Yun Tower and forced Can Yue to retreat.
”There is hope!” Lin Mubai was beginning to see the light.
