800 The sTruth” Behind the Seal (1/2)

”No!” Ping Yang gripped her spear rightly. She hoped that she could be faster, for she wanted to stop the attacks even if it meant sacrificing herself.

However, she was barely as strong as a Sage, so this was her maximum speed.

She was overwhelmed with rage, hatred, and despair.

She had thought that things were getting better, but she didn't expect it to change for the worse in the blink of an eye.

They were too careless!

Why would the leader of Ling Yun Tower spend so much time telling them about stories in the past? Nevertheless, the story was so interesting that she wanted to keep listening.

Time appeared to have frozen at this moment. Ping Yang heard nothing but the wind as she blamed herself for being useless and failing to notice Qian Ye's sneak attack, because she was too focused on her story.

Ping Yang was filled with regrets as the golden sunlight descended, but she didn't close her eyes.

Fang Zhengzhi dodged the falling sunlight.

He was equally fast!

Furthermore, he was also falling back rapidly at the same time, and he was already beside Ping Yang in a flash.

Then, Ping Yang felt an arm around her waist that tugged her back.

”You silly.” She heard an indifferent voice, following which, she noticed a familiar and calming scent, which made her feel safe and at ease just like the night that she spent beside the Icy Pond.

”Is the shameless fellow trying to… Save me?!” Ping Yang was shocked to her core. While she was trying her best to Fang Zhengzhi, he was also trying his best to save her.

That didn't seem very cooperative, but Ping Yang was touched.

Sometimes, it didn't matter if they were in sync, as long as the first thing on their minds were each other's safety.

Qian Ye didn't slow down at all, she was getting faster instead, charging towards Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang in a straight line. The golden orbs in her hands grew increasingly brighter.

She was closing in on them!

”Leader, have you ever considered that I have been waiting for your sneak attack since a long time ago!” Fang Zhengzhi suddenly turned towards Qian Ye and smiled.

”Hmm?!” Qian Ye's expression froze for a second, and she subconsciously slowed down a little. The slight moment of delay allowed Fang Zhengzhi to get away.

”Just as I thought, a cautious person gets way too paranoid!” Thank you for sparing my life, leader!” As Fang Zhengzhi said that, he was already nowhere to be seen.

Ping Yang also disappeared along with him.

For an instance, Ping Yang felt like she was traveling at an incredible speed, almost as if she was teleporting.

It was so fast that her vision blurred.

She was already standing in front of Ling Yun Tower when she could see clearly again, and there was a person standing before her, equally overwhelmed with disbelief.

It was Cang Yue!

All of these happened in an instant, from Qian Ye's sneak attack, to Fang Zhengzhi pulling Ping Yang back, and eventually taking advantage of Qian Ye's paranoia to get to Cang Yue.

Everything took place so quickly that no one else managed to react in time.

”Is this his true strength?!” Ping Yang finally realized that the gap their strengths had never been bridged.

…

Fang Zhengzhi didn't know what Ping Yang was thinking of. He only knew that he had truly waited a long time for Qian Ye's sneak attack. He had to thank Cang Yue for this, because it was her confused expression while staring at Qian Ye's back that allowed him to discover the aura which was getting stronger.

Sneak attack?

That was Fang Zhengzhi's specialty.

Hence, he wouldn't simply dodge the attack. Since Qian Ye liked to put on a show, he wasn't about to ruin her fun.

He originally intended to take down Cang Yue using this opportunity, since she was the key to solving all the problems.

However, he didn't expect Ping Yang to act so rashly and charge out while he was feinting.

This was a helpless yet familiar sensation for him.

Maybe that was who Ping Yang was.

She was a spoiled princess who was a little troublesome and simple-minded!

However, it was this troublesome and simple-minded princess that accompanied him through many crises. She even took a few bullets for him before. Of course, none of this mattered at the moment. Although there was a small change in the plot, the outcome was just as Fang Zhengzhi had expected.

His sword struck towards Cang Yue with a demonic purple light.

However, she wasn't going down without a fight. A dazzling silver radiance appeared on her body the moment she saw Fang Zhengzhi appearing in front of her.

”Go to hell!” Cang Yue attacked him with the glittering starlight in her hand without any hesitation.

If Fang Zhengzhi was alone, she would have escaped right away. After all, she knew that she was no match for him if both his hands were free.

However, since Fang Zhengzhi was holding Ping Yang and only one of his hands was free, Cang Yue wanted to take a shot at it. More importantly, this was such a rare opportunity.
