Chapter 449: Go f*ck yourself
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Canyang was too quick. In the blink of an eye, Fang Zhengzhi was sent flying.
The settlement chiefs watched on in disbelief.
They wanted to save Fang Zhengzhi.
But they couldn't.
Even Xing Yuanguo couldn't do anything about it.
Fang Zhengzhi could see nothing but the ray of blue light as well as the frail outstretched arm. He could not even see Canyang's expression.
However, he could feel an unstoppable wave of force on his chest.
It was extremely powerful.
"Kacha!" A cracking noise cut through the air as Fang Zhengzhi paled. He knew what the sound was.
It was the Heart Protection Mirror he placed on his heart.
That was the gift from Chi Guyan. It was also this Heart Protection Mirror which had saved him from Bai Xing's attack at the Icy Monkey Settlement.
Bai Xing's sword had been quick and sharp.
However...
It only left a scratch on the Heart Protection Mirror.
However, this time, Fang Zhengzhi knew that the Heart Protection Mirror had shattered after just one attack from a barehanded Canyang.
This was why he had used the phrase'terrifying' to describe Canyang's power.
His attacks were the perfect combination of speed and power.
A thought flashed through Fang Zhengzhi's mind.
That was...
Death!
From the moment Fang Zhengzhi entered the capital, he had come up against many opponents who were more powerful than him.
He had gone up against the Supernatural State Ying Shan as a Heavenly Reflection State cultivator in the World of the Sage.
At that time, he could already sense the difference in speed. However, he could still vaguely make out Ying Shan's actions.
It was as if he was watching a film in fast forward.
He could not see it clearly but he could make out some frames.
However...
When he faced off against Canyang...
Fang Zhengzhi could not even see what Canyang was doing. All he could see was a blur.
He saw Canyang charging towards him and nothing more. He could not predict where Canyang was or what he was striking at.
All he could do was guess...
"Is everything to no avail?" Fang Zhengzhi had already done everything he could...
He had already brought the battle to the most advantageous place for him.
He could not stand against Canyang alone.
He leveraged Xing Yuanguo and co.
In order to save Ping Yang, he lured Canyang away.
He had planned for everything up till now. However, it was quickly unravelled by Canyang.
Canyang was just too powerful.
The best traps and schemes could trap many. Without knowing the secret of the trap, most could not escape. There was only one exception.
When one could simply overpower the trap.
In the face of absolute power, all the schemes were merely decorative. He could break anything in his path.
If there was a mountain in his way, he would split it.
He could simply charge through.
What could you do to stop him?
Canyang had fallen for it.
Canyang had given up Ping Yang and followed Fang Zhengzhi to the gates of the Iron Hill Settlement. Everything was going according to Fang Zhengzhi's plan.
But that was no use.
He could simply knock Fang Zhengzhi back to his original position. In fact, he could place Fang Zhengzhi anywhere at will.
He could control all the factors of the duel.
Fang Zhengzhi spat out a mouthful of blood as he flew through the air.
"Boom!"
His body crashed into the ground, sending rock and sand flying skyward.
But this was not all. The moment Fang Zhengzhi smashed into the ground, the blue light withdrew slightly before charging forward again.
It was the same strike.
"Boom!"
The ground split open.
This time, Fang Zhengzhi was lying flat on the ground and had nowhere to retreat to. He could not cushion the impact by moving backwards. He had to take the brunt of the attack.
"Kacha, kacha..." The Heart Protection Mirror began to crack under the pressure.
Fang Zhengzhi was flustered.
The heart.
One of the vital organs.
In this world, the heart also contained one's pocket dimension.
Canyang's intentions were simple. He wanted to destroy Fang Zhengzhi and Fang Zhengzhi's pocket dimension. If he couldn't kill Fang Zhengzhi, he would make sure Fang Zhengzhi could never cultivate ever again.
Fang Zhengzhi had no idea which one Canyang was trying to accomplish.
But it was not important.
He felt as though his heart was about to shatter into smithereens.
"Bang!" Just at that moment, the Heart Protection Mirror shattered into smithereens, unable to withstand the pressure any longer.
Everything stored inside the Heart Protection Mirror was also sent flying.
Needles, nails, ashes, food, clothes...
Countless objects were scattered all over the floor. This was proof that the Heart Protection Mirror had been shattered.
"Fang Zhengzhi!" Princess Shan Yu's eyes were filled with worry and anxiety as she watched from atop the city walls.
The red cloud patterns covered her entire body.
Just as she was about to leap onto the battlefield, a powerful arm pressed her back down.
"Sister, you can't!" Shan Ling urged.
"Ah! Let me go, I must save him! He is only in this position because of the Southern Region, let me go..."
"Smack!" A crisp slap could be heard as Princess Shan Yu crumpled to the ground, the red cloud pattern disappearing slowly.
"Bring her down and watch her!"
"Yes, your highness!"
...
Xing Yuanguo looked at the pale Fang Zhengzhi lying lifelessly some distance away. His knuckles whitened. He wanted to save Fang Zhengzhi, but he knew that if he tried...
Then...
The Demon Domain Chiefs and Vice Domain Chiefs would also join in the fray.
When the battle was at the gates of the settlement, he would strike without hesitation since he could pass it off as defence. However, it would be a different story if he leapt onto the battlefield and chased after Canyang.
According to the deal...
Fang Zhengzhi should be exchanging hostages with Canyang.
Whatever transpired during this exchange was between Canyang and Fang Zhengzhi.
"Sister Yan, the shameless fella is about to die! Go... go save him!" Ping Yang was not far from Fang Zhengzhi.
She knew exactly how powerful the attack was.
Even though she had a slight misunderstanding with Fang Zhengzhi...
Ping Yang was willful, not stupid.
Chi Guyan's body shuddered. She could feel the power in that attack too. However, she could not move.
She couldn't even move an inch.
However, she could stop Canyang from striking again.
"Stop!" Chi Guyan brought her hand to Yun Qingwu's throat. In her hand was a silver-white lightsword.
Canyang hesitated for a moment.
However, the glow on his body never dissipated. The blue light continued to envelop his body, almost as if he was being wrapped by the sky.
"Sh*t!" Fang Zhengzhi spat out yet another mouthful of blood.
He spat it right at Canyang.
However...
When the blood came into contact with the blue light, it was almost as if it had come into contact with a piece of glass. It simply dropped to the ground.
"Drip, drip..."
The blood stained Fang Zhengzhi's shirt as well as his secret weapons and personal items.
Amongst those items...
Was a rock, a black rock...
From every angle, the black rock was extremely unassuming. However, when the blood dropped onto the surface, it was almost as if it was sucked into another dimension. It did not leave any trace or stain behind.
Fang Zhengzhi did not notice that happening.
Right now, he only had one feeling, and that was pain. His chest was in so much pain it felt like he had just been stabbed.
Right through the heart.
Canyang's hesitation...
Was expected...
Yun Qingwu was still in Chi Guyan's hands. As long as Yun Qingwu was there, his life would be in no immediate danger.
That was the reason why Fang Zhengzhi was willing to step forward.
But now...
He realized that there was a fate worse than death. Right now... he wished that he was dead.
"You... you want to destroy my pocket dimension?" Fang Zhengzhi wanted to stand up, but he was being immobilized by an overwhelming force.
This was not the restraints of the Heavenly Dao.
This was just Fang Zhengzhi being overpowered.
"Mm, you are very smart! Ahem..." Canyang nodded and cleared his throat. Then, he paled and blood began to trickle from the edge of his mouth.
"He's injured?" Fang Zhengzhi had no idea why Canyang would be injured, but he could be sure that he had nothing to do with it.
Was it Xing Yuanguo's attack? Or was it Nangong Hao's?
Or could it be...
The reflection from his Heart Protection Mirror.
That wasn't important. Fang Zhengzhi knew that if Canyang attacked him again...
He could be permanently disabled.
"Let me go, or I will kill Yun Qingwu and we would both suffer!" Fang Zhengzhi was anxious. Canyang's hesitation was of little comfort.
He saw that Canyang was still extremely calm, almost as calm as the surface of a lake. This unsettled Fang Zhengzhi greatly.
"Kill? How?" Canyang's frail voice rang out once again.
One may be fooled into thinking that Canyang was weak because of his voice. However, Fang Zhengzhi found out the hard way that Canyang was terrifyingly powerful.
"If I can't kill Yun Qingwu, she can!" Fang Zhengzhi grit his teeth.
"Is that so? It is a pity that the decision is out of your hands now. Furthermore, you should remember that she is not just Chi Guyan. She is also the heir to the Divine Constabulary and the future general of the Great Xia." Canyang smirked.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at the smile on Canyang's face.
He did not speak, but his expression changed.
Canyang was extremely blunt, but every word was fact. Fang Zhengzhi had no way of rebutting.
Chi Guyan could not kill Yun Qingwu.
She was Chi Guyan, the future commander of the armies of the Great Xia. She had to think about the interests of the Great Xia and the Southern Region.
"Qingwu... she should be waking up soon." Canyang turned to'look' at the comatose Yun Qingwu some distance away.
Fang Zhengzhi's expression froze when he heard this.
He finally understood why Canyang would stop after hearing Chi Guyan's words.
Initially...
He had thought that everything was going according to his plan.
In actual fact, Canyang had been in complete control ever since the start.
The only reason why he was still alive was...
Canyang was waiting.
Canyang was waiting for Yun Qingwu to regain consciousness. He wanted Yun Qingwu to witness it.
Yun Qingwu's body shuddered and her eyes opened slowly.
From the look in her eyes...
One could tell that she was still slightly lost.
However, the glow quickly returned to her eyes and she noticed the lightsword at her throat. She turned to look at Chi Guyan.
Then, she looked at Canyang and Fang Zhengzhi.
"Can you let me stand up?" Yun Qingwu looked at Chi Guyan.
"Mm." Chi Guyan nodded and kept her light sword.
Yun Qingwu did not speak as she climbed to her feet. She looked at Fang Zhengzhi, her expression complicated.
"Can I ask you one last question?"
"You can ask any question, but I won't guarantee an answer." Fang Zhengzhi did not think that Yun Qingwu would have any question to ask him after he had knocked her out.
The question...
Would just be to rub salt in his wound.
She may make fun of the fact that he was now the one being smashed into the ground. How ironic was that?
Fang Zhengzhi had also thought of his answer.
He would simply reply with...
"Go f*ck yourself!"
