1009 Intimacy (1/2)
Fang Zhengzhi always liked a line of a poem, 'The memory of Xiang Yu is cherished to this day because he chose to die instead of crossing the East of the Changjiang River after his defeat.'
Although there was nothing worthy of debate or investigation for this line of the poem, it was uncertain if Xiang Yu could rise to power again after he had made it through the East area of the Changjiang River.
After all, in that era, Liu Bang had an obvious advantage in the battle.
However, there was something that he was sure about.
Xiang Yu was a heroic figure but because his entire life had been very smooth-sailing, it was very difficult for him to accept reality after a huge setback and make a comeback.
Fang Zhengzhi, on the other hand, was different…
Setbacks were normal for him.
Escaping was even more normal.
As the saying went, a man should be flexible.
Xiang Yu and Yu Ji's story had ever since remained as a legend.
Fang Zhengzhi did not have a real Yu Ji but there was someone who could act as Yu Ji. That person was none other than Yun Qingwu.
It was difficult for him to comprehend it.
But it could be easily concluded in four words.
Live and die together.
”Pavilion Master Mu, leave with the disciples of the Human Alliance first and let Yun Qingwu stay,” said Fang Zhengzhi to Mu Qingfeng as he forcefully pulled Ping Yang and Yan Qianli back.
”Leave first?!” Mu Qingfeng was evidently shocked.
”Yes, immediately, right now, go and verify if there is really no way out of here!” Fang Zhengzhi was running out of time to explain to Mu Qingfeng.
”Alright… but, Yun Qingwu…” Mu Qingfeng wanted to ask a question as he could not understand what was the purpose of letting Yun Qingwu stay if the Human Alliance retreated.
However, Mu Qingfeng swallowed his words.
That was because the only thing he could do right now was to trust Fang Zhengzhi. After all, apart from trusting him, the Human Alliance had no other choice.
”Retreat!” A command was made.
The disciples of the Human Alliance looked at each other in confusion.
Wasn't there no way out?
Where could they retreat to?
Unless he wanted them to jump off the cliff together?!
”What are all of you waiting for? Run!” Mo Shanshi was much more straight to the point as compared to Mu Qingfeng. Moreover, when he said that…
He ran!
Yes, Mo Shanshi ran!
He ran especially fast and did not look back at all.
”…”
Mu Qingfeng was speechless but he had to thank Mo Shanshi for doing that because after the disciples of the Human Alliance saw Mo Shanshi run, they finally reacted.
Run!
If Mo Shanshi ran, then why were they still staying behind?
All of the disciples of the Human Alliance ran towards the cliff behind them crazily.
”Valley Master Mo… runs at such a high speed!” Fang Zhengzhi exclaimed when he saw Mo Shanshi leading the Human Alliance.
The current situation required Fang Zhengzhi to be flexible.
That was because Nangong Mu was at the peak of his powers. He had fused with the Tree of God and had three Godly State experts and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race supporting him.
Judging from this situation, Fang Zhengzhi had a very low chance of winning.
It was like a monster king taking a bet with a monster, whoever who lost would die. The outcome was that the Monster King had lost.
However, will the Monster King really die?
If anyone believed that, then that person was really too naive.
Fang Zhengzhi was facing the same predicament. Nangong Mu was too powerful and was powerful enough to fight against the four of them. Moreover, he had the Godly State experts and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race supporting him.
Lose?
How naive!
Moreover…
There was no meaning for him to go against Nangong Mu as the person who had made the agreement with Fang Zhengzhi was Nangong Mu and not ”Chou Qi”
After Fang Zhengzhi knew the true identity of Nangong Mu, he knew that the agreement of the competition would not be followed as it was a huge scam.
The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race would never listen to a human.
This could be seen from the reaction of the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race when Fang Zhengzhi pointed out Nangong Mu's identity. The grudges between races could not be resolved in days.
The agreement between Nangong Mu and Fang Zhengzhi…
Had too many loopholes!
”Don't let them run!”
”Chase!”
”Chase and kill all of them!”
As they saw the Human Alliance run away, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race begun to move as it was impossible for them to sit back and watch.
Under the leadership of a few Monster Kings, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race charged towards the Human Alliance furiously.
”Freeze, or else I will kill Yun Qingwu!” Fang Zhengzhi moved behind Yun Qingwu. With one hand around Yun Qingwu's throat, he pulled her towards his body.
”Young lord!”
”Young Empress!”
”…”
The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were shocked.
However, they did not stop but went around Fang Zhengzhi and Yun Qingwu. Meanwhile, they looked at Nangong Mu in unison.
As they were chasing after the Human Alliance, they were also waiting for Nangong Mu's commands as he was their commander.
Yun Qingwu had made it clear outside the black stone palace.
”Haha, Fang Zhengzhi, I can't believe you are using the same tactic again. How silly are you to be using the same tactic you had used earlier on when you were outside?” Yun Qingwu's throat was being restrained and her body was lying unnaturally in Fang Zhengzhi's chest but she did not panic.
Ping Yang, Yan Qianli and Yan Xiu were also forcefully pulled towards Fang Zhengzhi. They stared at him and could not understand why he was using Yun Qingwu to threaten the Monster Race and Demon Race again.
Was it useful?
If it was useful, the Monster Race and Demon Race would have retreated outside the black stone palace.
Why would they wait until now?
”Fang Zhengzhi, you are trying to threaten me with Young Lord? You don't seem to remember what I said previously, I will only try to save Young Lord but I will not be threatened by you!” said Nangong Mu.
