Chapter 443: Venting Anger
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
If Fang Zhengzhi's initial attack on Yun Qingwu stemmed from ignorance, then... his attack on Canyang despite knowing Canyang's powers...
What was that?
”How dare he?” Yun Qingwu looked at the figure in blue. She really wanted to ask him where he found the guts to do so, but she swallowed her words.
She already had an answer.
Fang Zhengzhi.
He seemed like someone who was ignorant and afraid to die, yet at times, he had terrifying courage.
Was there anything that he didn't dare to do?
Yun Qingwu looked at Canyang, who was on one knee. She knew better than anyone that Fang Zhengzhi had not gotten lucky.
The distance.
He was too close!
Yun Qingwu and Canyang were not far apart to begin with. Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi was in between the two of them. He was closer to Canyang than anyone else.
He had been restrained by the Heavenly Dao.
This was supposed to mean that his death warrant had been signed.
Initially, Canyang had raised his guard against Fang Zhengzhi. However, after seeing Fang Zhengzhi struggle to no avail, he had let down his guard.
After all, Canyang had an even more important mission.
That was...
He had to protect Yun Qingwu!
He had to protect Yun Qingwu from being struck by Chi Guyan's attacks.
Of course, the more important reason was that Canyang was blind.
That, compounded with the distance factor...
Even if he was Canyang...
He would not be able to block Fang Zhengzhi's strike.
Shock, disbelief, and terror.
Everyone looked at the figure in blue. They were not Yun Qingwu and did not know the same things that she did.
A half sage!
Fang Zhengzhi had actually managed to hit a half sage!
A cold breeze blew past as the night continued to darken. The stars in the sky provided some source of light, but no warmth.
”Half sage?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Canyang and smiled confidently.
He knew that Canyang was a half sage.
But so what?
If Ping Yang was willing to try her luck despite being in the Star Conglomerate State, he should definitely try it since he was in the Supernatural State.
Furthermore...
He had no other choice.
Run?
Fang Zhengzhi had toyed with that option, but where was he to go. He was faced with a demon army to his front and the gates to the Iron Hill Settlement at his back.
He would be like a lamb walking into a pack of ravenous wolves if he stepped forward. If he turned back, he would be diving into a slaughterhouse...
A single misstep...
And he wouldn't even know how he died.
Fang Zhengzhi was not stupid. More importantly, he knew that he would not be able to gain much distance.
Even if he tried to run, he would not be able to run far.
As such, instead of running away...
Why not...
Fight it out!
When it came to sneak attacks, Fang Zhengzhi was an expert.
For a blind man like Canyang, what was the sense that he relied on most? It would be his hearing of course! He would use his hearing to determine position.
As such, in order for his attack to succeed.
He would have to confuse and muddle up Canyang's sense of hearing.
Fang Zhengzhi did it by using an immense wave of force to cause Canyang to lower his guard before using the aftershock to give him the perfect opportunity to strike.
Success.
Sometimes, it was just that simple.
Fang Zhengzhi was enjoying the fruits of his labour, but he was not consumed by it. He knew that his attack...
Had barely even scratched Canyang.
Kill Canyang?
That was not something that he was even thinking about.
One needed to know when to retreat and take the small wins.
Fang Zhengzhi knew this very well. As such, he merely smiled to Canyang before turning to look at Yun Qingwu.
Yun Qingwu was his real target.
The cold and aloof Young Master of the Demons was staring at him, wide-eyed. Her white dress accentuated her great figure, making her look like a white lotus in the night.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yun Qingwu with fire in his eyes. He was a hunter who had spotted his prey.
The pressure and restraints had nearly pushed him over the edge.
But now...
He had his chance. There was no more blue above Yun Qingwu's head.
Since Canyang had been hit.
The blue light disappeared as well.
Fang Zhengzhi sprang into action before anyone else could react. He shot towards Yun Qingwu like a ray of light.
”Come on, I will let you know what humiliation is!” Fang Zhengzhi screamed as he watched Yun Qingwu's jaw drop in shock.
He could even feel the warmth exuded by her body.
He was close!
As long as he could control Yun Qingwu, then they had a chance at turning this around. He would also be able to turn around and tell the others.
”I'll take my leave first!”
That would be the perfect outcome.
Fang Zhengzhi chuckled, relieved to be finally free from his restraints. He was going to prove to everyone...
That his decision to jump onto the battlefield...
Was the right one!
The wind screeched past his ear as he approached the speed of sound. His body became a ray of light and Fang Zhengzhi felt as though he was in control of everything.
However... his body was eventually stopped.
He was stopped a mere inch away from Yun Qingwu, his arm already prepared to grab Yun Qingwu's waist.
His initial intention was to grab Yun Qingwu by her waist, do a 360-degree flip before placing Yun Qingwu on the ground.
Then...
Okay.
There was nothing after that.
He was immobilized.
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to turn around, but he couldn't move, almost as if his body had been imprisoned. His teeth couldn't even chatter.
Damn it.
That bloody Heavenly Rebirth Dao.
