Fang Zhengzhi had always liked a poem, 'Thinking of Xiang Yu, he refused to cross the River East'.
However, there was nothing much to debate or study about this poem. Besides, if Xiang Yu really crossed the River East, it was still unknown whether he would be able to rise again.
After all, Liu Bang had a huge advantage in the war at that time.
However, there was one thing that was certain.
Xiang Yu was indeed a great hero. However, Xiang Yu's life of battles was too smooth. After suffering a huge setback, it was difficult for him to accept reality and start over.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was different …
Setbacks were a common occurrence to him.
Escaping was a piece of cake for him.
As the saying goes, a real man knows when to bend and when to stretch. When it's time to stretch, it must be long and hard enough. But when it's time to bend, it must also be short and soft enough.
The story of Xiang Yu and Yu Ji was still a legend.
Of course, Fang Zhengzhi did not have a real Yu Ji. However, he had someone who could act as Yu Ji. That was Yun Qingwu.
It was hard to understand.
However, it could be summed up in two words.
Live and die together.
"Pavilion Master Mu, retreat with the Human Alliance and leave Yun Qingwu behind." Fang Zhengzhi waved his hand and forcefully pulled Ping Yang and Yan Qianli back as he spoke to Mu Qingfeng.
"Retreat?!" Mu Qingfeng was evidently shocked.
"Yes, now, immediately, go and confirm if there is really no way out!" Fang Zhengzhi did not have time to explain further to Mu Qingfeng.
"Alright … but Yun Qingwu …" Mu Qingfeng wanted to say something else because he really did not understand why the Human Alliance would leave Yun Qingwu behind if they retreated.
But this time, Mu Qingfeng swallowed the question that he was about to ask.
That was because the only thing he could do at this moment was to trust Fang Zhengzhi. After all, the Human Alliance had no other choice.
"Retreat!" Fang Zhengzhi ordered.
The disciples of the Human Alliance looked at each other in confusion. They had no idea what was going on.
Wasn't there no way out?
Where could they retreat to?
Were they going to jump off the cliff together?!
"What are you waiting for? Run! " Mo Shanshi's words were more direct than Mu Qingfeng's. What was more direct was that as soon as he finished speaking …
And then he ran!
Yes, Mo Shanshi had run away!
Moreover, he ran away so fast that he didn't even look back.
"…"
Mu Qingfeng was speechless. However, he had to admit that Mo Shanshi's action was quite effective, because after seeing Mo Shanshi run away,
All the disciples of the Human Alliance came to their senses.
Run!
Since Mo Shanshi had run away, what were they still doing here?
The disciples of the Human Alliance retreated frantically towards the cliff that had no way out as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
"This Valley Master Mo … runs really fast!" Fang Zhengzhi exclaimed as he looked at Mo Shanshi who was leading the Human Alliance in running.
Given the current situation, it was only natural that he should feel aggrieved.
That was because Nangong Mu was at the peak of his power. He merged with the Tree of God, had three Godly State experts and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race behind him.
Under such circumstances, Fang Zhengzhi's chances of winning were very low.
It was like a demon king making a bet with a small demon. Whoever lost would die. Then, the demon king lost.
But what was the result?
Would a Demon King really die?
If anyone thought so, then they were really too young and naive.
That was the situation that Fang Zhengzhi was facing. Nangong Mu was too powerful and he could fight against four of them at once. Furthermore, there were the Godly State experts and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race behind him.
Lose?
Too naive!
Most importantly …
There was no point in fighting with Nangong Mu now as the person who made the bet with Fang Zhengzhi was Nangong Mu and not "Chou Qi".
After Fang Zhengzhi found out about Nangong Mu's identity, he knew that he could not continue with the bet. After all, it was a huge scam.
The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race would not listen to a human.
This could be seen when Fang Zhengzhi pointed out Nangong Mu's identity just now. The estrangement between the races could not be changed overnight.
Just based on the bet between Nangong Mu and Fang Zhengzhi …
The loophole was too big!
"We can't let them escape!"
"Chase after them!"
"Chase after them while the Human Alliance is escaping!"
The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race started to move when they saw the Human Alliance escaping. That was because they could not possibly watch the Human Alliance escape.
Under the leadership of a few Monster Kings, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race charged towards the Human Alliance.
"Don't move, otherwise, I will kill Yun Qingwu!" Fang Zhengzhi moved and went behind Yun Qingwu. He grabbed Yun Qingwu's throat and pulled her into his embrace.
"Young Lord!"
"Young Empress!"
"…"
The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were shocked.
However, they did not stop and went around Fang Zhengzhi, Yun Qingwu and the rest. Meanwhile, they looked at Nangong Mu who appeared from the red Tree of God.
While they were chasing after the Human Alliance, they were also waiting for Nangong Mu's orders as Nangong Mu was their commander-in-chief.
Yun Qingwu had made this very clear outside the Black Stone Palace.
"Haha, Fang Zhengzhi, I didn't expect you to still use your old tricks. You have already used this trick outside, don't you think you are too naive to use it again?" Yun Qingwu's body leaned into Fang Zhengzhi's embrace unknowingly as her throat was being restrained. However, she did not panic.
Meanwhile, Ping Yang, Yan Qianli and Yan Xiu were forcefully pulled to Fang Zhengzhi's side. The three of them looked at Fang Zhengzhi and did not know why he suddenly used Yun Qingwu to threaten them.
Was it useful?
If it was useful, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race would have retreated outside the Black Stone Palace.
Why would they wait until now?
"Fang Zhengzhi, are you trying to use Young Lord to threaten me? You seem to have forgotten what I said previously. I will only try my best to save Young Lord, but I will definitely not be threatened by you! "Nangong Mu spoke.
"I know that Yun Qingwu is indeed not a threat to you, but what if I use the entire humankind?" Fang Zhengzhi did not release Yun Qingwu because of what Nangong Mu said.
"What do you mean?" Red light flashed in Nangong Mu's eyes.
"Nangong Mu, think about it carefully, do you really want to give the order to kill the Human Alliance? If you give the order, do you really think that you have completed your mission? I know what you want. Now, I will stay with Yun Qingwu, what do you think? "Fang Zhengzhi pointed at his chest with his other hand as he spoke.
"Are you going to stay with Yun Qingwu?" Nangong Mu stretched out his other arm from the red Tree of God.
"That's right, don't you want to save Yun Qingwu? I can stay and so can Yun Qingwu. This is the best opportunity for you to save Yun Qingwu! "said Fang Zhengzhi.
As for saving Yun Qingwu …
He knew that Nangong Mu's motive was not that.
However, he also knew that Nangong Mu could not kill the Human Alliance. That was because if Nangong Mu really wanted to do that, he would have done it earlier.
He would not do it!
This meant that Nangong Mu could not kill the entire humankind.
In fact, Fang Zhengzhi only understood this after he saw Nangong Mu's true colors.
Nangong Mu wanted to become the only ruler of the humankind and complete the mission of the Nangong Nobles. Therefore, how could he kill the humankind?
Fang Zhengzhi was betting.
He was betting that Nangong Mu would definitely let the Human Alliance go.
Of course, Nangong Mu still needed a reason to let the Human Alliance go. Fang Zhengzhi had already given Nangong Mu this reason. It was Yun Qingwu.
She still missed Xiang Yu and refused to go to Jiang Dong.
Fang Zhengzhi made the same decision as Xiang Yu back then. He stayed with Yun Qingwu and died together, hoping that "Han Xin" would let the Human Alliance go.
"Sir 'Chou Qi', Young Lord is …"
"Sir Chou Qi, please save Young Lord from the Human Alliance!"
"Sir 'Chou Qi', please save Young Lord!"
The Monster Race and Demon Race were moved. After all, they hoped that Yun Qingwu could return to the Monster Race and Demon Race and lead them again.
"Fang Zhengzhi, you seem to have overlooked something!" Nangong Mu clenched his fists tightly as the Human Alliance retreated.
"No!" Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
"How can I trust you?" Nangong Mu asked again.
"You can only trust me," said Fang Zhengzhi confidently.
It was a brainless conversation. Apart from Fang Zhengzhi and Nangong Mu, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race looked at each other and had no idea what Fang Zhengzhi was talking about.
However, Fang Zhengzhi knew what Nangong Mu was asking about.
It was Yun Qingwu …
Nangong Mu needed an excuse to save the Human Alliance but he did not need Yun Qingwu to return to the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race.
Therefore, Nangong Mu wanted Yun Qingwu but he wanted a dead Yun Qingwu.
"Shameless brat, what are you guys talking about?" Ping Yang asked as she did not understand the conversation between Fang Zhengzhi and Nangong Mu.
"Leave first." Fang Zhengzhi did not answer Ping Yang's question.
"What?! The competition is not over yet, how can I leave? "Ping Yang was confused.
"Your Highness, let's listen to Fang Zhengzhi and leave first." Yan Qianli interrupted Ping Yang at this moment because he knew that Fang Zhengzhi would definitely make this risky move after the fight with Nangong Mu.
Retreat!
It was extremely dangerous to retreat at this moment!
In fact, it was even more dangerous than advancing. That was because Fang Zhengzhi could totally delay for a period of time until the Human Alliance fought with the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race and then escape during the chaos.
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not do that. This meant that Fang Zhengzhi already had the intention to lead the Human Alliance.
Therefore, why would Yan Qianli doubt Fang Zhengzhi's intention?
Even if he did not understand, he would still execute it. That was the determination of a soldier who was born and lived on the battlefield.
"Grandpa, leave first!" said Yan Xiu.
"No, Yan Xiu, you are not only Fang Zhengzhi's friend, you are also a descendant of the Yan family and a soldier! Now, you have to follow Fang Zhengzhi's orders! " Yan Qianli naturally knew what his grandson was thinking. However, he also knew that Fang Zhengzhi definitely had his reasons for asking them to leave.
"Grandpa …"
"Xiu, leave first, trust me!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu. He knew that Yan Xiu would not leave but he could not let Yan Xiu stay by his side.
"If we die, let's die together!" said Yan Xiu firmly.
"If we live, let's live together!" said Fang Zhengzhi firmly.
"Can we live?"
"We have to try."
"Alright, I understand." Yan Xiu did not continue asking as he already knew the answer. Without any hesitation, he turned and ran towards the back.
"…" Ping Yang's eyes widened instantly.
Just a moment ago, it was as if they were going to die together, and if they were going to live together. How was it that in the blink of an eye, he was running even faster than a weak princess like her?
"Wait for me!" Ping Yang shouted and was about to chase after him.
"Ping Yang, wait a minute." Fang Zhengzhi suddenly thought of something. He moved the Heavenly Rebirth Dao in his hand and pulled Ping Yang back to his side.
"…" Ping Yang felt as though she was being stared at by a hen and had a strange expression on her face. She had finally made up her mind to run away and he caught her again?
What a joke!
However, for Fang Zhengzhi to call her back, could it be that there was something interesting that he wanted her to do?
Just the thought of it made her excited!
"Did you call this princess back because you don't want this princess to leave you, or did you notice this princess's wit and need this princess to lend you a hand?" Ping Yang's face was filled with anticipation.
"Oh, I don't need your smart, I just need you to lend me your Blazing Qilin Spear," said Fang Zhengzhi calmly as he looked at Ping Yang's expectant expression.
"…" Ping Yang stared at Fang Zhengzhi.
"…" Fang Zhengzhi also stared at Ping Yang.
Silence.
Very silence.
Then, the Blazing Qilin Spear was thrown in front of Fang Zhengzhi while Ping Yang pouted and ran away angrily.
"Aren't we going to chase after her?" Mu Xing and the other two Godly State experts looked at Nangong Mu.
"Wait." Nangong Mu only replied with one word.
"…" Mu Xing and the other two Godly State experts could not understand but they fell silent when they thought of how Lin Yu died.
At this moment, Yun Qingwu unexpectedly leaned into Fang Zhengzhi's embrace again and placed her lips next to Fang Zhengzhi's ear.
"Do you want to die with me?" Yun Qingwu's voice was heard. Her voice was not loud and she had purposely lowered it so that only Fang Zhengzhi could hear her.
