Chapter 448: Unprecedented Genius
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
Fang Zhengzhi was truly stunned.
He had always known that the Dao of All Creation drew from the energy of the surroundings. One could wield the power of mountains and use that to pressure one's opponents.
One could also harness stars, or the sun, or moonlight, or even constellations.
All of these were powers at a cultivator's disposal.
However, these were powers that a cultivator tapped on.
It was completely unfathomable for someone to actually create a mountain! Furthermore, Canyang had created a mountain out of virtually nothing!
Fang Zhengzhi felt like he should be running. However, just as he was preparing to run, his body was rooted.
Because...
The ground beneath his feet had turned into a swamp, and green vines were wrapped around his legs.
The green vines were climbing up to his thighs slowly but surely. They were pulling him into the swamp.
In that moment.
Tears welled up in Fang Zhengzhi's eyes.
He did expect a half sage to be powerful and he knew that he could not last many rounds. However, he didn't expect to lose within the first round.
He had a mountain above him, a swamp below him, and vines pulling him down.
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to escape.
But how was he going to?
Canyang was demonstrating absolute domination. It was almost like taking candy from a baby.
From the walls of the Iron Hill Settlement.
The Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army were stunned.
”How powerful!”
”Is this the power of a half sage?”
”No, Canyang has spent more than a decade being a half sage. Right now, he should be nearing the abilities of a sage!”
As they were gasping in awe at Canyang's power, they looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was being held in place by the vines. They looked on with guilt in their expressions.
At this point.
They knew why Fang Zhengzhi had run.
Shamelessness?
No this wasn't cowardice or shamelessness. This was wit and intellect. Fang Zhengzhi had outthought them all.
It was a pity that it wasn't sufficient to save his life.
Shan Ling clenched his fists and his eyes glittered. He truly admired Fang Zhengzhi's talent.
His admiration of Fang Zhengzhi...
Caused his eyes began glowing brighter and brighter.
He felt like he was watching the downfall of a true genius.
Princess Shan Yu's knuckles also whitened as she witnessed the duel below. She was extremely anxious.
The anger she felt before...
Had all disappeared when Canyang appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi.
...
The mountain blocked out the starlight.
There was now virtually no light. The spectators on the wall of the settlement looked down at Fang Zhengzhi.
They knew that even a genius like Fang Zhengzhi could not defend against such a powerful attack.
They expected Fang Zhengzhi to despair.
But, Fang Zhengzhi did not.
Even though Fang Zhengzhi was slightly surprised, he was clearly not despairing.
”Could it be that he still has a trick up his sleeve?”
That question floated through everyone's mind, but none of them could figure out what Fang Zhengzhi's plan was.
Just as they were thinking about it.
A ray of purple light shot skyward from the city walls.
When that light sword appeared in the sky, it engulfed the entire area with a terrifying battle intent.
It was awe-inspiring.
”Boom!”
The purple lightsword crashed straight into the mountain, creating a huge explosion which shook the earth.
”Break!” A crisp voice reverberated through the air, carrying with it an intense air of confidence.
And then...
The mountain shuddered before shattering into a billion pieces.
Then, a bright white light shot into the sky. It was significantly weaker than the purple light sword.
However...
No one questioned the power of this light sword.
It was extremely icy and thin, but the light it carried could illuminate the entire Iron Hill Settlement.
”Kacha!”
The white light crashed to the ground.
The vines began to break and the swamp began to freeze over.
These two sudden rays of light shocked all of the soldiers on the wall.
They looked at the figure in the purplish golden robe standing tall on the city walls.
No one questioned his power or authority.
He was the pillar of the Great Xia, the leader of the 13 Constabularies, Xing Yuanguo.
The person next to Xing Yuanguo was someone dressed in a white academic robe.
His drawn blade emanated an icy aura.
Nangong Hao.
The Dragon Protection Squad and Mountain Breaking Army looked at Fang Zhengzhi after experiencing the power of the two strikes.
They finally understood why Fang Zhengzhi was merely surprised.
Could it be...
That he had calculated it all?
Just as the thought flashed through their minds, they looked at each other with a sense of awe and respect.
Forcing Canyang to abandon Princess Ping Yang...
That gave Chi Guyan a chance to save Ping Yang.
Then, he also calculated the time when Canyang would intercept him, and he made sure that he was within striking distance of Xing Yuanguo and Nangong Hao.
Talent?
No, this wasn't just mere talent.
