586 Fang Zhengzhi, Well Done! (1/2)
Xing Yuanguo made a surprising decision.
It was surprising because it was something no one had expected or would have thought of. It wasn't complicated at all and could be expressed in two words.
And that was…
”Move away!”
”Move away!”
”Move…”
The Mountain Breaking Army, who was charging toward the capital gates moved aside, taking a few steps towards the sides of the gates. A ”wide path” leading toward the Northern Barbarians Army was opened.
Of course, the one who was most surprised was Fang Zhengzhi.
”What? It's really opening?!” Fang Zhengzhi had never once felt his words were so powerful. With one sentence, he had moved a few thousand soldiers of the Mountain Breaking Army.
Were they that obedient?
A moment ago, he screamed what he truly felt because he couldn't see the situation at the capital gates. He didn't know that there was an ongoing battle right there.
But now…
He could see it very clearly!
The Northern Barbarians Army were blocking the capital gates, while Su Qing stood above them on top of the capital walls. Why, then, did Xing Yuanguo ordered them to move away?
Shouldn't Xing Yuanguo order the Mountain Breaking Army to save him? Or would he be saving him by himself? He should have taken down Su Qing while he wasn't paying attention!
Move away?
No way!
Obviously, Xing Yuanguo wanted Fang Zhengzhi to step within the formation of Northern Barbarians Army by himself.
If there was a choice, Fang Zhengzhi would never allow himself to be such a situation. But he had no other option. He could already feel the aura behind him.
King Xieluo was very close to him…
Turn in a different direction?
Impossible.
Because a straight line would always be shorter than a crooked one.
Without any other options, and without hesitation, raising his Near-Life Gate high above, he entered the tight formation of the Northern Barbarians Army.
”My Lord, please convey my greetings to your sister!” Fang Zhengzhi shouted angrily, then he slammed the Near-Life Gate toward the Northern Barbarians Army.
”Sure!” Xing Yuanguo looked at the Near-Life Gate, then curled his lips in a smile: ”Using the Near-Life Gate to open a path? Not bad!”
”Boom!”
As Xing Yuanguo finished his sentence, a deafening sound rang in the night sky. One that was powerful enough to shake the earth.
At the same time, a giant crack appeared on the ground.
”Ah!”
”Ah…”
Countless painful groans filled the air.
As the most valuable treasure of the Holy Barbarians Empire…
The Near-Life Gate had been in existence for many, many years. And all these while, the Near-Life Gate was unmoved, like a gate which linked the heaven and earth.
The reason was simple: no one could move it.
Hence, we could imagine the sheer weight of the Near-Life Gate.
This remained for a very long time until someone appeared and moved the Near-Life Gate. Not only moved but kept it for his own use.
Until now…
With the unification of the Holy Barbarians, a great Holy Barbarians Empire was built.
It could be said that the Near-Life Gate played a key role for the Holy Barbarians Empire of today, or that the Holy Barbarians Empire spread the name of the Near-Life Gate far and wide.
So, how could the Northern Barbarians Army block it with their pikes? Well, they knew that the Near-Life Gate could never be damaged.
But it was also because they couldn't bring themselves to use their pikes against their most divine treasure. Hence, they could only dodge it.
And of course, there were some who didn't succeed.
So as the Near-Life Gate slammed on the ground, the soldiers with their thick armors were smashed too. They fell in the huge crack upon the Gate's impact and were moaning in excruciating pain.
The Holy Barbarians had a ”wolf” as a totem, and they addressed their most elite team of soldiers as lycanthropes.
Fang Zhengzhi had run into a ”pack of wolves” with the Near-Life Gate by himself.
He should only have been a sheep.
But he held the ”alpha wolf's tooth”, the most valuable treasure of the Holy Barbarian Empire – the Near-Life Gate. And this was quite surprising.
And of course…
Fang Zhengzhi didn't know anything about these.
All he felt was it was very easy to enter, and the tight circular formation had magically broken after he had slammed the Near-Life Gate.
He made a gap in the formation.
And he was very excited.
At this moment, he was beginning to feel hopeful. He could see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Then he raised the Near-Life Gate again, nonchalantly carrying it on his shoulder. It was as though he was carrying a ”giant weapon”.
Awe and shock filled the air.
The Northern Barbarians Army stared at Fang Zhengzhi. They feared not Fang Zhengzhi's power, but the Near-Life Gate on in hands.
And at this time, a purple ray of light appeared from behind Fang Zhengzhi.
A human figured wrapped in purple light.
It was crazy fast!
Stepping on the heads of the Northern Barbarians soldiers, he charged up the capital walls like a meteor, while grabbing their pikes and shooting it out.
”Whoosh!”
”Whoosh!”
The sounds of the pikes piercing the air.
”Your Excellency Fang has done a great job. I'll convey your greetings to my sister!” said the purple ray, which had fused with the pikes in his collection.
What's despicableness?
What Xing Yuanguo had done was a great example!
He made Fang Zhengzhi open the path, then seized this chance for his own credit.
If he had known that Xing Yuanguo was such an opportunistic person, he wouldn't have given him any chance, and instead, smashed the Near-Life Gate on his purple head.
To let him know what flowers could be green too.
Specifically, the verdigris of patina.
Of course, Fang Zhengzhi didn't bother much about whatever credit. His most urgent concern was to escape, though Xing Yuanguo wanted to do the great task of capturing the leader of the opponent.
Then, he could do the easy task of escaping the capital without much pressure.
But he thought of Xing Yuanguo's age and felt a chill in his heart. ”I've changed my mind. My Lord, it's better to convey my greetings to your daughter!”
Xing Yuanguo didn't bother replying to him.
Because he had reached in front of Su Qing. A long sword appeared on his hand, and with that, he pointed it at Su Qing's chest.
