Chapter 204: Supernatural State

Fang Zhengzhi frowned. Difficult to live meant that their chances of survival were extremely low. No one was willing to accept that fact.

Fang Zhengzhi frowned.

He was still a virgin.

He could not simply just die like this.

Fang Zhengzhi did not want to give up so easily, but would Yan Xiu joke about such matters? Naturally not! This was a truly dangerous situation.

”Do we have any chance to survive?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.

”The chances are extremely slim. Ying Shan entered the ”Supernatural State” four years ago. He is probably in the intermediate stages now. Even if we all joined forces, it would be a hard fought battle. Furthermore, more than half of the others are seriously injured.” Yan Xiu shook his head as he looked around.

Fang Zhengzhi did not know much about what came after the Heavenly Reflection State. He did not know what the Supernatural State was but he knew Yan Xiu would not lie.

Furthermore, just as what Yan Xiu had said, more than half of the candidates were seriously injured. There were less than 10 people who could fight.

If they included the difference in cultivation level, their chances of winning were extremely low.

”First, tell me what are the differences between the Supernatural State and the Heavenly Reflection State.” Fang Zhengzhi did not think it was an appropriate time to ask this question but it would be even worse to enter battle knowing nothing about the opponent.

Yan Xiu knew what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking and did not find the question inappropriate.

”Without truly entering the Supernatural State, it is impossible to fully understand the differences. When do you think a person is able to unleash his full power?” Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi.

”Full power?” Fang Zhengzhi had no idea why Yan Xiu would ask that question. He thought for a moment, then answered, ”In moments of extreme anger? Or when filled with love?”

This answer was one that he got from a movie. Whenever a person saw someone they loved being squashed by a rock, they would be able to explode with unimaginable power.

”Mm, that is one. However, that stems from a lack of control over one’s emotions. Even though the power is immense, it is not easily replicated. Furthermore, love and hate would not be able to heal the physical wounds.” Yan Xiu shook his head.

”They can heal their wounds?” Fang Zhengzhi did not understand. He was under the impression that an injured person would need to seek treatment. How was it possible to heal wounds with power?

”The Supernatural State gets its name from its ability to allow the person to enter the said state.” Yan Xiu explained solemnly.

”Supernatural?” When Fang Zhengzhi heard what Yan Xiu said, he began to get suspicious. Isn’t that something that happens to people when they are about to die?

”Mm, it is said that a terminally ill patient is able to go about normal activities during this phase. They are able to recover from their injuries. They are completely lucid and their power is at a maximum.”

”What do you mean?” Fang Zhengzhi seemed to understand. He was not fully sure, but he was beginning to understand what Yan Xiu was saying.

”People in the Supernatural State are able to walk the line between life and death. They are able to perfectly combine their strength and speed with their pocket dimension, thus allowing them to unleash their full powers. More importantly, they have incredible healing!” Yan Xiu finished solemnly.

Fang Zhengzhi was equally solemn. He had expected the Supernatural State to be very powerful, but he ever expected it to be this ridiculous.

Supernatural...

He could remember clearly that the ancient annals recorded this state very clearly. Even the most gravely injured people could walk when they were in that state.

To control one’s body and maintain it in that state?

Walking the line between life and death?

Must it be that ridiculous? Even if I critically injure him, he can still jump around?

He finally understood why Yan Xiu said it would be difficult for them to live through this. This man was virtually invincible.

How are we ever going to defeat a man who can unleash his full power and still get up despite being critically injured?

Fang Zhengzhi was silent. His gut told him that running away was the best option now.

But...

What if they couldn’t get out?

They were essentially stuck now that the World of the Sage was out of control. No one could get in or out, and they were stuck here with a Supernatural State cultivator hell bent on taking their lives.

And this man had to be a demon. There was no room for negotiations.

What now?

Fang Zhengzhi and everyone else had the same ideas. In the face of a Supernatural State cultivator, a Heavenly Reflection State cultivator could only run, the further the better.

But now, they had no chance of escaping.

Who wouldn’t crumble?

Cries rose and fell as people sighed and cried in fear and resignation

When Ping Yang heard Ying Shan’s name, a look of fear spread over her dainty little face.

She was no different from a helpless chicken in the face of a Supernatural cultivator. This was despite her possessing the Red Flame Flower Armor and the Blazing Qilin Spear.

She was easy prey.

She unconsciously started to run. She ran next to Fang Zhengzhi and grabbed onto his hand. She had no idea why she did that.

However, she felt slightly safer next to Fang Zhengzhi, even if it was just for a moment.

Fang Zhengzhi felt his arm being squeezed by Ping Yang once again. He felt uncomfortable, but he did not push her away.

As a guy, he had to give in to a lady.

As such, no matter how unwilling he was, he would take point.

Nangong Mu’s expression did not change much. He was the first to guess Ying Shan’s identity. Furthermore, he had chosen to step out and fight, meaning that he did not fear Ying Shan.

Xing Qingsui was not scared either. He only had one mentality, go against the current and lose ground. That's the way he refined his abilities. However, he was in no position to advance now.

Ying Shan chuckled as he looked around at the trembling candidates.

”Actually, I had never expected to get out of this place alive. I thought that I only had one chance at an attack. The moment my identity was revealed, the invigilators would intervene. However, heaven has been kind to me. The World of the Sage is now out of control. There is no need for me to hide any longer.”

Ying Shan smirked as he looked at Nangong Mu, Ping Yang, and finally at Fang Zhengzhi.

Fang Zhengzhi had no idea why Ying Shan would look at him, but he knew that it wasn’t a good sign.

Nangong Mu also turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi.

Everyone seemed to look at Fang Zhengzhi. They all realized that the person who had caused the World of the Sage to go out of control was probably Fang Zhengzhi.

”Extract the sword and the seal would be broken. Then, the invigilators can regain control and come save us!” Fang Zhengzhi knew what these people were thinking.

He quickly devised a plan to divert all their attentions.

Luckily, this plan was not a bad one.

This gave everyone, who were on the verge of giving up, a shred of hope.

With hope and a goal, then even arch enemies could become allies. Furthermore, they were looking death in its face.

The candidates began to move. They no longer fought each other like before. Instead, each one of them aimed to remove the sword.

Ying Shan’s gaze turned icy in an instant.
