"It's just one-half sage. At least it's not two, or three, or four... it's just one! The pressure... urgh..." Fang Zhengzhi's lips twitched as he looked at Canyang. He regretted his decisions, but he couldn't back down now.
"Kill him, kill him!"
"Avenge our Young Master! Wipe clean the slate!"
"Die!"
"Die!"
The demons began screaming the moment they saw Fang Zhengzhi walking over. Their voices shook the earth.
On the walls of the Iron Hill Settlement...
Everyone was watching Fang Zhengzhi as he walked towards Canyang. All of them had an illusion...
They felt like he was extremely courageous and unafraid of death.
The entire world seemed to quieten down and time seemed to stop. All that was left was the figure on the battlefield.
Proud, calm, and unafraid of death.
However, this kind of aura and demeanor didn't seem to fit Fang Zhengzhi very well. As a result, they were all stunned by it.
They knew what Fang Zhengzhi was doing.
However...
When Fang Zhengzhi took the step out, they couldn't bring themselves to accept it.
"Why would such a shameless man, so afraid of death, become so courageous at such a critical moment?" Princess Shan Yu couldn't bring herself to believe that the fate of the Southern Region would rest on Fang Zhengzhi's shoulders.
She really wanted to ask Fang Zhengzhi her questions.
Why would he sacrifice himself? To what end? Money? Power? To appeal to a beautiful woman? What would it come to if he lost his life?
Courage, lack of fear, and pride.
These were all attributes respected by the people of the Southern Region.
However, she had not seen these attributes in a Southern Region soldier for many years. That was because she was strong, much stronger than most of the men around her.
But right now, Princess Shan Yu felt such an aura coming from that figure.
It was a strange feeling.
It made her want to tremble, and it also made her want to cry.
Then...
Princess Shan Yu 'cried'.
"Shameless, shameless person!" Princess Shan Yu's voice reverberated through the air, her tone filled with anger.
Shan Ling, as well as the other settlement chiefs, smiled bitterly when they saw the scene unfolding before them.
Because...
Fang Zhengzhi made a break for it.
After taking a few steps out, he immediately 'reverted' to his original self and sprinted towards the Iron Hill Settlement like a terrified bunny.
"Shameless!"
"Utterly shameless!"
"How does someone like this even exist in this world?!"
The Southern Region soldiers looked at the fleeing Fang Zhengzhi with fury in their eyes. They raised their spears at him.
Where did he come from?
He had just assured them that he would take care of it!
But now...
He just left Chi Guyan behind.
No matter how shameless a person was.
There had to be limits.
"Fang Zhengzhi, you shameless fella, how dare you leave me and Sister Yan in the lurch. I... I will never let you off!" Ping Yang was slightly touched when she saw Fang Zhengzhi step out, but he ran off soon after.
He had made a break for it so decisively too.
He had simply pushed Chi Guyan forward, ran around her, and headed straight for the settlement.
Most importantly...
He was screaming.
"Open the gates!"
"Open the gates!"
"..."
This could not be tolerated!
Ping Yang wanted to kill Fang Zhengzhi.
Chi Guyan was also slightly stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief. However, she did not move.
She still had Yun Qingwu in her hands.
As such...
She could not move.
No matter what Fang Zhengzhi did, she had to stand her ground.
"Scram!"
"You coward!"
"The Great Xia does not have a coward like you! You do not deserve to be a part of us!"
The Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army could not help but berate Fang Zhengzhi.
They were utterly disappointed in Fang Zhengzhi.
They felt like they had just been lied to.
If Fang Zhengzhi was afraid of death, he should not have tried to capture Yun Qingwu and have Chi Guyan battle Canyang.
He could have stalled for time in other ways.
But now...
What was with this attempted escape?
Isn't he just leaving Chi Guyan in the lurch?
And then there was Ping Yang.
Ping Yang was a princess, the most pampered one at that. Most importantly, she had just risked her life to save his.
The Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army were furious. They were all embarrassed by Fang Zhengzhi's actions.
How could they ever hold their heads up high if they associated with someone like that?
"Father, the gates..." Xing Qingsui was also smiling bitterly. He turned to look at Xing Yuanguo as he watched Fang Zhengzhi close in.
"Pass the order, open the gates!" Xing Yuanguo was focused on Fang Zhengzhi as he gave the order.
"Why? My lord, why should we open the gates for a coward?!"
"Exactly! We do not wish to be associated with him!"
"Such a shameless coward should just be fed to the demons! He is a disgrace to the Great Xia!"
The soldiers of the Great Xia were all extremely agitated when they heard Xing Yuanguo's orders. They were not about to accept a 'deserter'.
"Shut up, open the gates!" Xing Yuanguo frowned and his tone changed.
"Yes, sir!" Even though the soldiers of the Mountain Breaking Army were not happy about the orders, they shut up and followed them.
"Open the gates now or it will be too late!" Fang Zhengzhi screamed anxiously as he neared.
Hearing Fang Zhengzhi's anxiety...
The soldiers were not happy but they did not dare to defy an order from Xing Yuanguo.
"Creek... creek!"
An ominous sound rang out as the gates opened slowly.
Canyang's expression was ugly. His expression had been that way from the moment Fang Zhengzhi turned and ran.
His calm demeanor was completely gone.
He frowned as his sky blue robe danced in the wind. He seemed to be contemplating something and he clenched his fists subconsciously.
He finally sprang into action when he heard the heavy gates of the Iron Hill Settlement open.
"Good, very good! Fang Zhengzhi, you are the greatest danger to the demons indeed!" Canyang's frail voice rang out. He had been forced into making a decision.
As soon as his voice rang out...
He disappeared from his spot, almost as if he had been sucked into the air.
In the blink of an eye...
He appeared right in front of Fang Zhengzhi.
He walked out of a pale blue light, wearing his long, sky blue robe. His silver hair flowed to his shoulders and his wrinkled face was clear for all to see.
"How quick!"
"Is this the power of a half sage?"
"The Heavenly Rebirth Dao! Fang Zhengzhi can't escape!"
"Indeed... but I don't understand. Why did Canyang call Fang Zhengzhi the greatest danger to the demons? He is a shameless coward, what danger could he possibly pose?"
The soldiers of the Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army were confused.
"You will understand when you see Princess Ping Yang." Nangong Hao's voice rang out as he grabbed the hilt of his sword.
Xing Yuanguo did the same thing.
However...
Xing Yuanguo's sword was at his waist.
His purple robe danced in the wind as a purple glow was emitted from his body. That glow represented Xing Yuanguo's battle intent.
The soldiers of the Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army were stunned.
They did not really understand what Nangong Hao meant initially. However, when they looked to Ping Yang, it all made sense.
There was someone beside Ping Yang.
This was a beautiful lady in a pink dress which danced in the wind and had starry eyes which glared at the demon soldiers in front of her.
"Sister Yan, you are the best! We can't rely on that shameless fella!" Ping Yang looked at Chi Guyan excitedly.
"No, he was the one who allowed me to come and save you." Chi Guyan shook her head as she looked at the demon soldiers with their bows drawn.
Just now...
When Fang Zhengzhi had held her hand, she had not withdrawn it.
The reason was simple.
Fang Zhengzhi had written many things on her hand, one of them being...
"I will lure Canyang away!"
Initially, Chi Guyan did not understand what Fang Zhengzhi meant. However, when Fang Zhengzhi stepped forward, she understood immediately.
When it came to acting skills.
Chi Guyan was an amateur.
As such, when she had exclaimed that she was the more appropriate candidate, it was not too convincing. However, she knew that Canyang would have no other choice.
Because...
He could never let Fang Zhengzhi run into the Iron Hill Settlement!
...
"You can't escape." Canyang 'looked' at Fang Zhengzhi, his wrinkled face containing a myriad of expressions. He knew Fang Zhengzhi's plan.
Just like how Chi Guyan had predicted it.
He had no choice but to fall for it. He could not let Fang Zhengzhi leave, especially not after he knew Fang Zhengzhi's plan.
"That is true, but you have also lost your ace." Fang Zhengzhi nodded and raised his head.
He did not have to turn back.
He knew that Chi Guyan was by Ping Yang's side.
"Have I? I do not think so." Canyang shook his head as he pointed towards Ping Yang, who was still trapped in the same position.
"That would mean that you're blind. Oh, I'm sorry... you are!" Fang Zhengzhi's lips twitched in scorn.
Canyang frowned but showed no signs of anger. He seemed to be deep in thought.
However, his frown disappeared almost just as quickly.
"I see. You have told her how to unravel the restraints of the Heavenly Dao. However, do you think that your words are sufficient?"
"Of course, have you forgotten? She is Chi Guyan!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"Yes... she is Chi Guyan! The most talented female in the entire empire. However, even Chi Guyan would need time. Do you think you can really buy her enough time?" Canyang nodded after a brief moment of thought.
"We'll have to find out." Fang Zhengzhi waved.
"Okay then, let's find out." Canyang nodded.
As he nodded, the entire space around them began to twist and change. It felt as though they were being transported to another dimension.
Fang Zhengzhi had no idea if this was an illusion, but he could feel a wave of mountainous pressure coming down from above.
When he looked up, he was stunned.
Because...
There really was a mountain above his head. This was a mountain over 100 yards high, complete with flora and dense forests.
The breeze rustled the canopy and caused the grass to bend.
Fang Zhengzhi was completely stunned when he saw the mountain just above his head. He had a feeling that this mountain was real.
"What the hell?" Fang Zhengzhi had never thought that there would be a mountain on top of his head.
How ridiculous was that?!
Is this the power of a half sage?
