Chapter 207: Shadowless

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Fang Zhengzhi roared as if he was afraid that Ying Shan wouldn’t know.

"Hidden weapon?" Ying Shan definitely didn’t feel that using a hidden weapon behind his back was shameless. Not too long ago, he had used the same method to harm majority of the examinees at the scene.

However, he didn’t slow down. Because, his target was Nangong Mu.

On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi’s actions now was undoubtedly disturbing him from behind.

With his vast battle experiences, Ying Shan definitely wouldn’t be held back by Fang Zhengzhi’s harmless disturbance.

Fang Zhengzhi’s state was only Heavenly Reflection. Even if he threw out a few hidden weapons, how could they even harm him?

On the other hand, Nangong Mu had already raised his sword once again and the chain was very likely to be broken.

Time was everything.

Hence, Ying Shan continued to advance.

Not knowing what hidden weapons Fang Zhengzhi threw at him, he instinctively waved the blade on his hands behind his back, causing a black barrier to appear behind him.

That was enough.

But…

The impact of the hidden weapon he imagined seemed a little too forceful.

"Boom!" A loud bang resounded.

The black barrier behind Ying Shan’s back was completely shattered without any resistance, turning into spots of black light. A force with the power of a volcanic explosion rushed towards him, instantly slamming into Ying Shan’s back.

Ying Shan, who didn’t have any time to react, stumbled and almost fell face-down onto the ground.

The rumbling in his chest resembled the rolling of waves.

"Pssh!" A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from Ying Shan’s mouth into the air, which quickly turned into steam. A powerful scorching, piercing pain came from the skin on his back.

Without even looking, Ying Shan knew that he suffered minimally broken bones and torn muscles.

Ying Shan was deeply shaken.

He really couldn’t understand what kind of hidden weapon had such a strong power?!

Turning back his head, he discovered a fully scarlet spear impaled onto the ground. The golden rays glinted from the tip of the spear, glowing faintly from under the ground.

On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi dashed towards the spear with lightning speed and smoothly regained the spear.

"I have already reminded you, yet you didn’t take it seriously? You are really disappointing me too much…" Fang Zhengzhi held the Blazing Qilin Spear and gazed at Ying Shan with an innocent expression on his face.

"The Blazing Qilin Spear?! You… You used the Blazing Qilin Spear as your hidden weapon?" Ying Shan’s eyes were wide with shock.

He would never have thought that Fang Zhengzhi would be so brave as to send the Blazing Qilin Spear as a hidden weapon flying towards his back.

One must note that under the circumstances just now, if he didn’t pursue Nangong Mu, or, as long as he treated it a little more seriously and turned his head around to look, that Blazing Qilin Spear would definitely land in his hands.

Throwing the Blazing Qilin Spear as a hidden weapon? This was the act of a daredevil.

Not only was Ying Shan unable to comprehend this, the rest of the people on the scene also stared with their eyes opened wide.

Nobody would ever had thought that Fang Zhengzhi’s "hidden weapon" was actually the powerful Blazing Qilin Spear! Wasn’t that a little too much?

"He threw out the Blazing Qilin Spear?!"

"Oh my God, that’s the Blazing Qilin Spear? Isn’t he afraid that…"

"This is simply nonsense!"

The examinees stared at Fang Zhengzhi in disbelief, their mouths agape.

Ping Yang’s face similarly turned somewhat pale with fear.

Standing behind Fang Zhengzhi, she had the clearest view of what had transpired.

When Fang Zhengzhi shouted out, "watch out for my hidden weapon", the Blazing Qilin Spear had already left his hands and turned into a ray of light and flew towards Ying Shan, bringing along a small golden glow.

At that moment, her heart had fallen apart.

Most importantly, Fang Zhengzhi had purposely shouted, "Watch… hidden weapon!"

The most important factor was the word, "watch".

What is this guy trying to do? You don’t value other people’s treasures at all? Ping Yang regretted somewhat, regretted lending her Blazing Qilin Spear to Fang Zhengzhi.

However, what left her speechless was that Fang Zhengzhi had actually retrieved the Blazing Qilin Spear. Furthermore, he seemed to have caused Ying Shan of the Supernatural State to spurt out a mouthful of blood?

That was completely unbelievable.

Yan Xiu had also witnessed Fang Zhengzhi’s actions. No matter how much he trusted Fang Zhengzhi, he was ultimately stunned by such a daring move.

However, fortunately, Ying Shan actually didn’t turn around.

Instead, he used a simple black barrier to defend against the Blazing Qilin Spear, the treasure with the greatest offensive power among the ten great treasures of the Great Xia Dynasty.

This move was naturally effective.

However…

This move? Why is this effective?!

Nobody had thought of such an outcome. However, it was a fact that Ying Shan didn’t use his full powers to defend against this move.

One move was enough to injure Ying Shan?

Among the people present at the scene, even Nangong Mu with his Green and Blue Secret Art was unable to injure Ying Shan beyond a few superficial wounds. However, Fang Zhengzhi’s move caused Ying Shan to spurt out a mouthful of blood?

It was obvious who was better.

"Clang!"

Right at this moment, a crisp sound snapped people out of their thoughts.

Nangong Mu’s sword had already landed at this moment. One chain among the four black chains had already been broken off. This caused the wound on his chest to once again flow with streams of bright, fresh blood.

However, he didn’t stop.

Instead, he continued to slash towards the other three chains.

Nangong Mu didn’t distract himself by observing Fang Zhengzhi’s battle. For some unknown reason, he felt that Fang Zhengzhi would definitely be able to hold back Ying Shan.

Maybe it was because Fang Zhengzhi was able to rile up Ying Shan’s emotions with just a few sentences previously.

Or, maybe it was because that there was no other choice at the moment.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to focus on what he was supposed to do. As for the rest, he would let Fang Zhengzhi settle them.

Just as Nangong Mu had expected.

After Fang Zhengzhi’s powerful blow, Ying Shan stopped. His eyes flashed with a faint cold glow. For the second time, he felt shamed. And this time, it was built upon his vast battle experiences.

Hidden weapon…

Who in this world would use the Blazing Qilin Spear as a hidden weapon?

He really wanted to turn around and grab Fang Zhengzhi, then place his mouth close to Fang Zhengzhi’s ear and shout, "Why would you throw the Blazing Qilin Spear?"

However, he couldn't do this. Because, he had to stop Nangong Mu.

Once the sword was pulled out.

Only the Heavens would know whether the World of the Sage would once again fall under the control of the Imperial Academy. When that time comes, all his plans would be foiled. Hence, he didn’t have time to delay any further.

Injury?

This was indeed true. However, being of the Supernatural State, how could he be afraid of injuries? The blood and charred flesh on his back began to peel off rapidly, and slowly began to recover with a speed that could be observed with one’s naked eyes.

The Supernatural State.

Even though such a heavy injury required some time to heal, Ying Shan didn’t delay much longer. Lifting his feet, he pounced towards Nangong Mu once again.

"Watch out for my hidden weapon!" Fang Zhengzhi’s voice was like an overly attached woman bugging Ying Shan. He had no choice but to slow down slightly.

Ying Shan was already injured. If he was impaled by the Blazing Qilin Spear once more, he would require at least an hour to recover completely.

An hour…

There were many things that could happen under such circumstances. For example,the sword would be pulled out, or, he could even be killed by these people.

The Supernatural State was very powerful.

However, that didn’t mean that he was invincible.

In reality, every human had one similar weakness. That, was their pocket dimension.

The pocket dimension was the core of all their power. The heart of Dao grew from the heart. The access of Dao was done through the heart. Hence, the power of human’s pocket dimension lay in their hearts.

On the other hand, the demon race’s powers lie within their demon eye. They gained and controlled power through their demon eye. If the demon eye was injured, this meant that all their powers would disappear.

Ying Shan naturally couldn’t allow such a thing to happen. Hence, this time, he definitely wouldn’t dare to underestimate his opponent like what he did previously.

He turned his head.

However…

The Blazing Qilin Spear he expected didn’t arrive.

What came was a silver light that filled the entire sky. It was like stars that shone in the night sky, bright yet hidden. The sound of air being pierced could be heard.

Naturally, that was the "Torrential Pear Blossom" which Fang Zhengzhi always loved to use.

Under the additional power provided by the Heavenly Reflection State, the silver needles were each covered with ice and frost. As for its deadliness, killing a person of the Star Conglomerate State wasn’t a problem at all.

Ying Shan gazed at the starlights that flew towards him and narrowed his eyes. He didn’t know what trick Fang Zhengzhi was trying to play, and what treasures Fang Zhengzhi threw at him.

But, after the lesson learnt from his first experience, he definitely wouldn’t underestimate his opponent.

A powerful force rose from Ying Shan’s body.

The dense, ink-like territory instantly condensed itself, focusing on blocking the starlights that flew over.

"Clang clang clang clang…"

A stream of sounds rang out. The starlights clashed into the territory, then, fell to the floor one-by-one, revealing a scene of broken needles…

Other than that, there wasn’t any further changes.

"Just that?" Ying Shan stared, somewhat confused, at the broken needles on the ground.

Ping Yang was also somewhat confused.

When she saw Fang Zhengzhi give up using the Blazing Qilin Spear for a second time and instead, fish out a handful of silver needles from his pockets, she was filled with hope and expectation. She eagerly anticipated Fang Zhengzhi to make another miracle.

But now…

This eager anticipation seemed somewhat inappropriate.

The other examinees also stared with their eyes wide open. When Fang Zhengzhi injured Ying Shan in one move, they had actually pinned all their hopes on Fang Zhengzhi.

As the saying went, taking advantage of one’s injury to take one’s life. Quoting military tactics, pursue while at an advantage. The essence of these were that the second attack would be stronger and deadlier than the first.

Then, what was the meaning of this starlight that was loud as thunder, yet as small as raindrops.

Couldn’t he at least make a nicer show?

On the other hand, Yan Xiu wasn’t too shocked this time.

He knew very well that the handful of silver needles were very ordinary street products. There wasn’t even the smallest bit of improvement or enhancement. How could such a thing harm Ying Shan?

"How is the power of my Torrential Pear Blossoms?" Fang Zhengzhi fished out another handful of silver needles once again and waved them in front of Ying Shan, anticipating his review.

"…" Ying Shan didn’t speak. He fell into silence. Because, he really didn’t know what to say.

He only knew that he seemed to have turned cultured today, so cultured that he didn’t even have the slightest bit of temper. He really wanted to swear, however, that was evidently a waste of time.

Hence, he didn’t pay any further attention to Fang Zhengzhi. Instead, he continued to charge towards the rock.

However, due to the previous delay.

Nangong Mu’s sword once again slashed onto the second chain. This time, Nangong Mu’s strength seemed to be even stronger than the previous time. He was actually able to cut halfway into the chain.

"Don’t run, watch out for my hidden weapon!" Fang Zhengzhi shouted out once again the moment Ying Shan turned his head.

This time, Ying Shan didn’t turn his head immediately. His speed was fast as lightning, turning into a smoke-like shadow just with his speed alone. In an instant, he had arrived beside the rock.

He was too fast, so fast that people couldn’t see clearly what was happening.

Under such circumstances, there was no hidden weapon that could be faster than Ying Shan’s speed.

Everybody held their breath. Because, as long as Ying Shan ascended the rock, Nangong Mu wouldn’t be able to slash the chain. Then, the battle would turn into a horrible one.

Nangong Mu’s expression was as calm as ever. With his abilities, he could naturally feel that Ying Shan had arrived below the rock. However, he didn’t move. The sword in his hands slashed down with the same powerful determination.

As if he completely missed what was happening.

Xing Qingsui’s hand strenuously pushed against the ground. He wanted to stop Ying Shan. However, having lost so much blood, to be able to resist fainting was already the best he could do.

This moment seemed to have become the most critical moment in the battle.

Anybody would be able to guess Ying Shan’s intentions. No matter how Fang Zhengzhi attempted to harass Ying Shan, as long as he didn’t dare to fight head-on with Ying Shan, it would forever be futile.

Everybody could predict that Ying Shan’s next move would be to mount the rock, and then descend into a killing spree.

However, right at this moment, the blade in Ying Shan’s hands suddenly turned around.

As always, people move with their blades.

The moment he turned his blade, he seemed to spin backwards on the spot. Instantly, the advance became retreat, slashing towards his back with the speed of a black light.

A sly and crafty military tactic.

As the Vice Domain Chief of the Ying Domain in the Ten Devilish Domains, Ying Shan was very proud. All along, he had been respected for his outstanding talents.

However, this time, he had been controlled by Fang Zhengzhi multiple times.

He could indeed charge immediately up the rock. However, if he did this, he wouldn’t be able to live with himself. This wasn’t related to the task at hand. He only wanted to win on an intellectual level for once.

Even though it was only once.

If he couldn’t achieve this, he would never be able to calm his own heart. If his heart wasn’t calm, how could he reach the peak level of power?

Hence, he chose to counter-attack.

Using slyness to defeat slyness.

He decided to change the direction of his blade at the critical moment Fang Zhengzhi chased up to him and thrust suddenly towards him, catching him off guard. This would take down that annoying person in one move.

The blade was still the same blade, carrying along the faint smell of blood.

However, under the intense wrapping of shadows, the shiny, bright blade turned pitch-black, as if it was soaked in ink. Within this pitch-black shadow territory, not a glimmer of light shone.

This was Ying Shan’s most powerful technique, a technique that shook their entire Ten Devilish Domains.

The Shadow Blade Technique.

There was another name for this blade technique, Shadowless.

Under the influence of his dark shadow territory, his blade was able to become untraceable and unable to locate.

Due to this blade technique, when Ying Shan became known to the world, he gained a nickname within the demon race. That was, Ghost Shadow Blade.

Either he didn’t participate in a fight, or he would deliver the killing blow in one hit!
