Chapter 119: Heavy as a Mountain
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
As the person nearest to Yan Xiu, Fang Zhengzhi naturally felt it the most. He even felt as if he was personally at the scene, and witnessed the incident that day.
A general with outstanding military achievements, arriving at the woman’s house filled with expectations and joy.
Yet, all he was able to see was a white paper fan and her last words…
”Black hair dyed white, I wait silently and wholeheartedly for you to paint!”
The woman’s love, and the woman’s silence, as well as at the moment she left, even though she knew she was about to depart from this world, she didn’t have the heart to tell her man, who fought valiantly on the battlefield.
”Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan!” Fang Zhengzhi’s vision finally focused.
Because, Yan Xiu had already moved. At this moment, Yan Xiu’s expression seemed as if he was influenced by the spirituality of the fan. Waving the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan on his hands, the extraordinary beauty of the mountain river illustration completely erupted.
Just like water flowing downwards.
A brilliant ray of light lit up from the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan. It spilled out of the fan and began to proliferate unstoppably.
Then, a strange scene occurred.
With Yan Xiu at the heart, the scenery within the circumference of the light suddenly changed, transforming into a huge mountain river illustration.
Towering mountain rocks and craggy cliffs filled the high mountain. On the mountain, the scene was beautiful. Countless trees swayed gently, and within the mountain rocks, a powerful waterfall flowed down from the mountain, adding on a silver-like band of light into the entire world.
The sound of flowing water, and the light gust of wind, and even the sound of the trees swaying, could all be heard clearly.
This was an illusion formed by countless points of light, however, this illusion seemed to integrate completely with reality. Reality and illusion simply couldn’t be distinguished from one another, and this illustration was the exact same scenery on Yan Xiu’s paper fan.
Fang Zhengzhi was filled with shock, and a powerful sense of grief filled his heart. He knew very clearly that this was due to the influence of the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan. If he could stay calm, the first thing he should do was to remove himself from these thoughts.
However, thinking was thinking. If he really wanted to achieve this…
It was too difficult!
”Heaven and Earth Reversal!” At this moment, a low bellow came from Yan Xiu’s mouth. His voice was filled with a sense of misery that felt as if his mood had fallen into a deep valley.
Fang Zhengzhi at this moment truly felt miserable…
When he saw the mountain river illustration, he didn’t feel any strong sensations other than some slight effects on his mood, causing him to feel a little miserable.
However, after Yan Xiu’s Heaven and Earth Reversal...
He really felt as if the entire world had reversed, just like falling from the top of the mountain into the deep valley.
His heart almost shattered.
Of course, this wasn’t the main point. The main point was that he had a very heavy feeling. This feeling didn’t come from his heart, and instead, came from his back.
Just as if a huge mountain was pressing onto his body.
…
”The Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan has its own spirituality, and this spirituality can form the land of mountain and river. In this land… Fang Zhengzhi might not even be able to move!”
At the judging table, an examiner looked at the illustration on the arena and exclaimed.
”Even if he could move, his actions would still be strongly hindered. Battling with Yan Xiu within this mountain and river land, winning is simply impossible.”
”Once the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan is out, the results are confirmed!” Han Changfeng once again returned back to his seat. He seemed to be somewhat relieved. No matter how monstrous one’s talents were, he still wouldn’t be able to overcome the internal influence of the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan.
”How powerful!”
”Yan Xiu has the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan, within the Star Conglomerate, I fear he is already unmatched!”
Gazing at the scene that suddenly appeared in front of them, the surrounding examinees were similarly shocked. Even though they were under the arena, they were still able to sense a heavy pressure.
Let alone Fang Zhengzhi who resided at the centre of the arena.
Right at this moment, Yan Xiu moved again, waving the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan.
”Kill!”
Following his bellow, the fiery half-moon appeared once again, and a red sun flashed into existence in the sky. It was the Asura Sword that Yan Xiu had previously used.
Fang Zhengzhi felt that he should be dodging.
However, as he attempted to use the Wind Shadow Technique, he understood that he wouldn’t be able to dodge.
Because, that pressure was too powerful, so powerful that he was almost unable to move. He was only able to take one step before the heat from the Asura Sword reached him.
”I have to block it!” Fang Zhengzhi didn’t have a second choice.
Gritting his teeth, in the end, he still waved his white jade sword. A bright moon appeared in the sky, and a streak of white light zoomed towards the fiery half-moon.
”Boom!”
The two clashed into one another.
Unlike being evenly-matched previously, this time, the white light was like snow, instantly torn apart by the fiery half-moon and turning into little spots of moonlight…
A powerful and overbearing blast washed over. Fang Zhengzhi felt that his chest seemed to have suffered a heavy impact, and the Jade Sea Armour on his body gave off a glittering blue light.
”Crack!” Below his feet, a deep crack emerged. On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi was lifted off the ground and backwards.
With a plop, he fell, face-up, onto the ground.
Under the influence of the land of mountain and river, Yan Xiu was still Yan Xiu, however, Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t Fang Zhengzhi anymore. His abilities had been hindered greatly, and was simply unable to fight against Yan Xiu.
”The Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan, is indeed powerful!” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the evidently darkened rays of light on the Jade Sea Armour in front of his chest. Maybe, if he suffered another attack, he was going to get injured.
