Chapter 464: A sage is still a sage
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Ping Yang's eyes widened. She was in disbelief… this was an expression that was rarely seen on Ping Yang…
She was trying to stab Canyang.
No matter how confident she was, she would never expect that her attack would hit.
Even though Canyang was injured, Ping Yang was only in the Star Conglomerate State…
However, Ping Yang was shocked…
Her clear eyes were wide as coins, her jaw dropped so wide you could fit a fist in it…
"You…" Ping Yang wanted to say something, but every time she opened her mouth, she couldn't find the words to express her shock.
Ping Yang wasn't the only one who was shocked.
In fact, Chi Guyan, Yun Qingwu, even Xing Yuanguo and Nangong Hao were also stunned.
The person who had grabbed Ping Yang's Blazing Qilin Spear was not Canyang…
It was…
Fang Zhengzhi!
His bloodied hand seemed unaffected by the most powerful offensive weapon in the Great Xia. He was able to hold it by the tip.
"How is that possible?!"
"He's not dead…"
"Even if he's not dead, where is he getting the strength from? Hasn't his pocket dimension been crushed? He has no more Fruits of Dao, how is he able to…"
All of the demon soldiers who were inside The Vast World couldn't believe their eyes. They had no idea what was going on…
Fang Zhengzhi didn't die…
That was shocking enough on its own. Not only did he survive, he had enough energy to stop an attack from the Blazing Qilin Spear!
What the hell?
Those soldiers were shocked…
The soldiers of the joint forces were floored by what they were witnessing as well.
"What is happening?"
"Didn't Fang Zhengzhi link his pocket dimension with The Vast World? Now that The Vast World has been broken, how does he still possess such power?!"
"What is happening?"
All of the soldiers looked at each other for answers but found nothing but confusion…
This was not bad for them…
However…
It defied all logic…
A human's energy came from the pocket dimension. Fang Zhengzhi had linked his pocket dimension with The Vast World. Now that The Vast World has been destroyed…
Fang Zhengzhi should have suffered serious injuries.
His cultivation future was in question. No one expected him to be able to stop the Blazing Qilin Spear. Most importantly, he had eaten all his Fruits of Dao.
What was happening?
No one could understand.
A light breeze blew past and Ping Yang's fiery armor flowed in the sun. It was a beautiful sight, but no one was looking at her.
They were all looking at the bloodied figure standing in front of her.
The figure moved.
With a light tug…
He took the Blazing Qilin Spear in his hands.
Then, he brought the Blazing Qilin Spear to his chest. He stopped himself…
His expression said it all…
He hesitated before smiling bitterly.
"I forgot…" Fang Zhengzhi said in exasperation. His eyes had reverted to their normal state.
The purple glow had vanished.
The multi-colored glow had also vanished.
All that was left was black and white.
His pupils were dark as ink and the rest of his eye was white as snow.
Ping Yang was stunned when she saw Fang Zhengzhi's eyes. Then, she remembered something…
Hang on…
This shameless fella was trying to…
Take her Blazing Qilin Spear?
Ping Yang knew exactly what Fang Zhengzhi was trying to do. A wave of rage came over her…
If not for the fact that the Heart Protection Mirror had been destroyed…
The Blazing Qilin Spear would have been kept by Fang Zhengzhi…
"How audacious! You dare to snatch my Blazing Qilin Spear?" Ping Yang was fuming. She wanted to snatch it back.
However, when she looked at Canyang…
She calmed down…
The Blazing Qilin Spear would be more effective in the hands of Fang Zhengzhi.
Just as she was thinking about it, a fiery red glow flashed past her eyes and she felt something in her palms.
"Forget it, I'll return it to you." Fang Zhengzhi's voice echoed out.
"Return it to me?" Ping Yang blinked, visibly stunned. She could not understand why Fang Zhengzhi would hand the spear back at this time…
Shouldn't he be dealing with Canyang?
Speaking of Canyang…
Ping Yang looked at him subconsciously.
She looked at those lifeless eyes and that youthful face. The golden symbol on his head had dimmed significantly.
Even though it had dimmed, the golden symbol still remained and there was still a faint glow. That meant that Canyang…
Was still a Sage!
A Sage was still a powerful existence.
What about Fang Zhengzhi?
Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi, realizing that she may have jumped the gun. She was too close to Fang Zhengzhi and Canyang…
Because…
Their battle hadn't ended!
Ping Yang wanted to run.
But at that moment, Fang Zhengzhi spoke.
"Oi, do you have a fresh set of clothes?"
"Clothes?" Ping Yang was stunned. Then, she looked at Fang Zhengzhi, blushing as she did so, "Shameless… erm… I have a dress…"
"Dress? Then you can keep it for yourself." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head as he began searching around.
Before long, he found something that caught his eye.
He walked towards a demon corpse nearby.
Ping Yang could tell that this was a high ranking demon. The demon's armor and helmet were clearly different from the others.
It was brighter and tougher…
But…
That wasn't the point…
Why did Fang Zhengzhi dare to walk to that corpse so openly?
Was he not afraid that Canyang would catch him?
Ping Yang felt the world crumbling around her. As Fang Zhengzhi walked towards the corpse, Canyang also moved.
He began walking towards Ping Yang.
"Stop right there! Don't think that I will let you do as you wish simply because you're a Sage!" Ping Yang bellowed.
She knew that Canyang wouldn't bother with her…
Her intention was not for Canyang to listen to her, she wanted to remind Fang Zhengzhi that she was in danger.
However…
What she didn't expect was that…
Fang Zhengzhi ignored her cries. He simply walked over to the body and removed the armor. Then, he tried it on for himself.
Sweat rolled down Ping Yang's forehead.
She didn't want to die here. If she could, she would definitely haunt Fang Zhengzhi for the rest of his life.
Canyang was closing in.
Ping Yang couldn't take it any longer.
She tightened her grip around the Blazing Qilin Spear, grit her teeth, and thrust it at Canyang's throat.
"Clang!"
The Blazing Qilin Spear fell to the ground.
It felt as though Ping Yang had not held the spear tightly. However, Ping Yang knew the truth… she had been forced to drop the spear by an overwhelming force.
Canyang was next to Ping Yang.
Their shoulders were almost touching.
Ping Yang didn't move.
However, Canyang continued to walk forward. He brushed past Ping Yang, his silver hair dancing in the wind.
As for Fang Zhengzhi…
He continued to hum a little tune nearby, adjusting his armor, visibly satisfied.
Ping Yang was furious.
What the hell was this guy doing?
Doesn't he know the consequences of ignoring me? How can he be so sure Canyang won't attack?
More importantly…
Where did he get all that power from? What happened between him and Canyang just now?
Ping Yang had too many questions…
In fact, these were the questions that were flashing through the minds of all the soldiers. They looked at Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang with confusion…
They couldn't understand what was happening.
Even the demons couldn't understand what was happening.
Right now…
Yun Qingwu was with Chi Guyan and Canyang had Ping Yang. Why wouldn't Canyang capture Ping Yang to trade for Yun Qingwu?
All of the demons looked at Canyang with confusion in their eyes.
At that moment, Canyang walked to Chi Guyan, his hollow eyes staring straight ahead, the golden symbol on his forehead dull…
"Exchange hostages." Canyang's voice rang out.
"…"
The entire field was silent…
Everyone had expected Canyang to say something different. This was the last thing everyone expected Canyang to say.
"Exchange hostages?"
"Is this the time to discuss the exchange of hostages?!"
