However, this time, Fang Zhengzhi knew Chi Hou's speed and exploited the Wind Shadow Technique to the maximum, causing Chi Hou to miss.
How could he let someone catch him twice in a row?
Fang Zhengzhi felt that it would be too humiliating to be caught again. At the very least, he must put up some resistance.
”You attacked me first, now you're shamelessly complaining about me?” Fang Zhengzhi dodged and weaved. Then, he waved, ”Take this, Heavenly Maid Scattered Flowers!”
As Fang Zhengzhi waved, an icy glow enveloped the land and shot towards Chi Hou.
Offense was the best defence.
This was fact.
Seeing the icy glow shot out by Fang Zhengzhi, the surrounding maids were all confused. They had no idea what this was. However, anyone who dared to attack Chi Hou was incredibly courageous.
Who was Chi Hou? The name Iron Blood Divine Marquis wasn't to be said at will.
He was a master of strategy, how could a trick like this fool him? Even though the maids felt that the icy glow looked good, no one felt that it could hurt Chi Hou.
The truth reflected this...
After seeing the icy glow from Fang Zhengzhi, he did not even dodge. Rays of light radiated from his body, enveloping him.
The moment the icy glow impacted the light shield, they disappeared into the ground.
”Cling, clang, clang...”
The ring of objects falling to the ground rung out.
After the icy glow fell to the ground, the maids finally realized that the icy glow was actually countless silver needles.
”Again!” Seeing the silver needles fall to the ground, Fang Zhengzhi had no intention of giving up. He waved his hands again and an icy glow shot towards Chi Hou once again.
”Again? I would like to see how many more things you can scatter!” Chi Hou chuckled lightly as the light shield radiated outwards once again, knocking the needles out of the sky.
”Again!” Fang Zhengzhi had no intention of giving up.
With another wave of his hand, the needles took to the sky once again. This stubbornness tickled the maids. How silly, why drag it out when you know you're not going to hit?
After all, all you can do is delay the inevitable...
Chi Hou looked at the glow in front of him, slightly confused. Fang Zhengzhi should not be this dumb, what is going on?
Having experienced hundreds of battles, Chi Hou was not one to underestimate his enemy.
Even though he knew that his opponent was much weaker and those needles could never hurt him, he would not let the needles even come close.
What if they were laced with poison?
What if Fang Zhengzhi was just trying to make him complacent?
Chi Hou had no way of confirming this. However, he was rather curious why Fang Zhengzhi would consistently use techniques that could not harm him. Fang Zhenghi was probably trying to make him lower his guard after repeated attacks.
This sounded like quite the plan. However, Fang Zhenghi could not even break his shield, what good would making him overconfident do.
Chi Hou may be thinking this way, but his servants were not able to think at such a level.
They looked on with pity and mocking as Fang Zhengzhi kept sending out futile attack after futile attack.
”This Heavenly Maid Scattered Flowers looks pretty!”
”I wonder how many more flowers he can scatter?”
”I think he'll be out very soon!”
Just as the servants expected, Fang Zhengzhi had limited needles. He was no porcupine, so after several attacks, he had run out of needles.
Even so, he was unfazed. He had other things to scatter - powder, ash, nails, daggers, dried fruits, snacks...
...
The sky was enveloped by a steel net, but what was happening underneath the net was dumbfounding.
Chi Hou looked on as Fang Zhengzhi continued to scatter items. Finally, he showed traces of surprise. How many 'secret weapons' does this person have?
”A lot!” Fang Zhengzhi understood Chi Hou's expression and answered his question without any hesitation.
He was in no hurry. He was always prepared for any eventuality and had all sorts of secret weapons that would last him some time.
As such, he was extremely willful in his scattering of items. He was not scared that he would finish scattering all his items...
After absorbing the attacks for about 15 minutes, Chi Hou was getting exasperated. At the rate Fang Zhengzhi was going, the entire courtyard was going to turn into a landfill.
Within a heartbeat, Chi Hou's footsteps increased.
He was incredibly quick. No matter how Fang Zhengzhi tried to weave and dodge, Chi Hou was within striking range in moments. He grabbed at Fang Zhengzhi with both hands.
Then...
