788 A Weird Dao, Provocation! (1/2)

Fang Zhengzhi was looking very confident. His confidence was annoying but he did not care. He continued to laughed on fearlessly.

He was not pretending to be relaxed. In fact, a scary thought had entered his mind.

At face value, it seemed that the leader of Ling Yun Tower was unwilling to see Lin Mubai and Ping Yang.

However, the truth was that…

This was only one of the possibilities.

The other possibility was that the leader of Ling Yun Tower was wasting time, mental energy and physical effort together with Fang Zhengzhi.

In other words, she was stalling.

Her reason for doing this was probably because of the old adage: if you know yourself and your enemy well, you will never lose your battles.

The leader of Ling Yun Tower was testing Fang Zhengzhi with her disciples. She had sent them against him one by one from weak to strong in order to test his prowess.

On the surface, it may seem like Fang Zhengzhi was gaining the upper hand by defeating all these disciples from Ling Yun Tower. However, the truth was that they were stripping layers off Fang Zhengzhi.

If the targeted person had been any more prideful, he would have been complacent by now and would have walked into the trap laid out by the leader of Ling Yun Tower.

Fang Zhengzhi had never seen anything like this before at the other Sects of the Holy Region.

The other Sects in the Holy Region relied on their own power to suppress enemies directly while Ling Yun Tower approached things differently.

Although they had never met, Fang Zhengzhi knew that the leader of Ling Yun Tower was a master in the art of forbearance .

She had remained calm in the face of Fang Zhengzhi's attempts to invade and humiliate. It was as if all these had nothing to do with her.

As the saying went, a correct decision made in camp will secure a victory thousands of kilometres away. Although Fang Zhengzhi was only speculating, the leader of Ling Yun was shaping to be scarier than he had expected.

Of course, whether or not his guesses were correct, Fang Zhengzhi had enough of being led by the nose. He did not want to reveal all his cards. Thus, he had to turn to deceitful tactics.

Successful warriors have always been crafty.

To become truly deceitful, he had to begin with concealment.

After all, the leader of Ling Yun Tower had not come out and Fang Zhengzhi was running out of ideas. Hence, he had to conceal his trump cards and construct something false in order to compromise the judgement of the leader of Ling Yun Tower.

Fang Zhengzhi had to make himself look unpredictable and opaque. This way, the leader of Ling Yun Tower would have to rely more on her imagination and guesswork.

However, Fang Zhengzhi's confidence and unpredictability did not seem to be working very well. Cang Yue and the five women did not seem to have bought his act.

”Countered?” Cang Yue was aware of the counteraction of different forces but she did not believe Fang Zhengzhi's talk of being able to counter them.

Still, she hesitated.

After all, Fang Zhengzhi remained unharmed and nonchalant. It was like what he had said. Their assault was not doing anything to him.

What was going on?

Cang Yue and the five women were all asking the same question. Why wasn't their assault working?

It was supposed to have succeeded.

What a deceitful occurrence.

The smiles of Cang Yue and the five women had stiffened. They found all that had happened extremely weird.

Ping Yang was beginning to figure things out but even the truth was mind boggling.

”Has the shameless fellow really become this powerful? How has he managed to achieve this?”

”It seems like you all don't believe me. Never mind, you can all try me again!” Fang Zhengzhi did not wait for their replies and rattled on.

Fang Zhengzhi was not in a hurry.

He had made up his mind to become unpredictable and had to refrain from looking impatient or fearful.

Thus, he continued to provoke them!

This provocation troubled the woman, who was wearing red and had hair that was slightly white, standing directly in front of him.

”Young Master Fang. Your methods are truly weird. Nonetheless, we are devoted to Ling Yun Tower and even if we cannot defeat you, we will defend our sect with our lives!” The woman in the red dress spoke and turned to the other four women.

The other four women nodded their heads in response and closed their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, the green light emanating from their eyes had become a dark deep oceanic blue.

”Buzz!”

The green shimmer had turned dark blue as well. Water droplets fell from the sky and dewdrops rose from the ground.

A white mist hung in the air.

At the same time, the five women made their move. They pointed their index and middle fingers forward and dark blue swords with a sapphires embedded in their hilts appeared in their hands.

”Dance!” The woman in red called out.

The five women began to shift their positions. The red woman had moved from in front of Fang Zhengzhi to his left. Loud cracks split the air.

That was the sound of the air freezing.
