783 Never Let Go After Succeeding (2/2)
After all, he had waited a long time for this moment.
Once, he had pinned all his hopes onto Prince Li of the First Rank. However, Prince Li did not manage to achieve a breakthrough even after years had passed.
In the end, Prince Li's body suffered tremendously from his efforts and died by the hand of Monster King Xieluo.
At that point in time, Lin Mubai had been devastated.
Still, he could not give up. Not when he had poured so much time and effort into the venture. Not even when hope was all but lost.
Later, he found another target.
Yan Qianli!
The ”accidental” Prince Yan of Weatern Liang!
Also, there was another person that Lin Mubai did not trust completely. That person was Fang Zhengzhi.
That's right. Lin Mubai had pinned his last hopes onto Yan Qianli and Fang Zhengzhi. However, after waiting for almost half a year, he received news about Fang Zhengzhi's death.
Finally, Lin Mubai was unable to wait on anymore.
He was crushed. He had come to Ling Yun Tower for the sake of fetching Ping Yang away!
For the sake of the woman he had waited for for more than ten years. He had to fight on for that glimmer of hope.
Seven days!
He had stood before Ling Yun Tower for seven consecutive days!
He did not expect to see that woman and his only objective was to bring Ping Yang back to the Great Xia safely.
Nevertheless, he had no news for seven days. None about that woman and Cang Yue.
He could only wait, and wait…
Except that he did not have to wait any longer. Cang Yue had appeared and the lofty Ling Yun Tower was mired in a crisis.
Lin Mubai was looking forward to Fang Zhengzhi capturing Cang Yue.
He could see that after injuring the green-robed women, the crooked rays of purple light had begun to converge once more.
In a flash, they had gathered onto the blade of the Traceless Sword.
The Traceless Sword enlarged in a burst of purple light, becoming ten times its original size.
”Thinking of running away? You can't!” Fang Zhengzhi had no idea how Lin Mubai was feeling at this moment. He only knew that he was not done with the Hundred Dragon Slash technique.
What goes out must return eventually.
The gigantic Traceless Sword thundered through the air towards Cang Yue, Green Jade and the other white-robed women.
”Boom!” Green Jade and the other white-robed women flew backwards and spat out mouthfuls of blood.
It was not only Green Jade and company whp suffered.
Cang Yue's face had turned into a paler shade of white. It was as if she had applied a layer of frost onto her already icy-looking exterior.
”Kaboom!” A large crack appeared in the ground. It was caused by a heavy foot planting itself onto the ground. At the same time, Cang Yue lifted her head up and stared at Fang Zhengzhi in disbelief.
Half a year!
In only half a year!
How had he accomplished this? Not only had he entered the Sage State, he was also tremendously powerful. How did such a thing happen?!
Cang Yuan was unwilling to believe that this was happening, even though she had anticipated a possible defeat before she exited Ling Yun Tower.
She had thought that she would at least be able to match Fang Zhengzhi evenly and inflict damage on him. She had even expected to subdue him in not too long a time.
She never would have thought that she would be defeated so quickly!
She had been defeated?!
Had she really been defeated by Fang Zhengzhi?
While Cang Yue questioned herself relentless, Lin Mubai was asking himself similar questions.
A defeat?
Fang Zhengzhi had really defeated Cang Yue!
Lin Mubai had been looking forward to this but also felt a tinge of sorrow. It was enough to bring tears to his eyes.
As for Ping Yang, she was extremely happy. Her cheeks had turned red from the excitement. She felt a wave of emotions as she watched Fang Zhengzhi walk towards Cang Yue with his sword in hand.
Ping Yang blinked as the Traceless Sword bathed in its purple light. Fang Zhengzhi's eyes were glowing purple as well.
Fang Zhengzhi was obviously unaware of all these. He only knew one thing, which was to take advantage of Ling Yun Tower's current vulnerability and bring it to its knees.
He had succeeded!
He would never let go!
”Swoosh!” In a flash of blue light, Fang Zhengzhi appeared before Cang Yue with the Traceless Sword pointing at her throat.
”What now?” Fang Zhengzhi kept his eyes on Cang Yue. He did not smile.
”Hehe, I did not expect this… you really did it! You became a sage within half a year! I have truly underestimated you!” Cang Yue's eyes twinkled. Silver light danced around her body.
”Finally. I had been waiting for this!”
At this moment, Lin Mubai's voice rang out. A tear had escaped from the corner of his eye before he wiped it away.
”Cang Yue, you have lost. Do you remember what you said at the Flaming Capital City half a year ago? Tell me where Yu Er is, now!”
”I've said it before, Lin Mubai. You are not worthy of addressing our master by her name and will never be! Regardless of whether I win or lose, you, Lin Mubai, have no right to call her by name!” Cang Yue bit her lip as a look of amusement passed her eyes. She then turned to Fang Zhengzhi once more.
”I have indeed underestimated you, but do you think you might have underestimated Ling Yun Tower too?”
