That moment was a strange feeling. It was as if the restraints on his body had disappeared. Or rather, it was not completely gone, but a part of it had disappeared.
Had the effects of the Mountain and River Territory weakened?
Just as he was rejoicing, Fang Zhengzhi instantly felt the pressure of a mountain pressing down on him.
Furthermore, it was even stronger than before.
It did not weaken...
Was it an illusion? That should not be the case. He had indeed taken a step forward just now.
Fang Zhengzhi did not have time to think. A few flaming crescents attacked him again. He could only wave his sword continuously, then, he used four times the number of Yan Xiu to defend.
"Boom boom boom..."
After a series of collisions, Fang Zhengzhi was forced to take a few steps back.
A wave of sadness welled up in his heart.
At this moment, his body suddenly retreated a few steps back. That strange feeling attacked him again. It was even clearer than before.
Something was wrong!
Fang Zhengzhi could almost confirm that in that instant, the pressure on his body had lessened. Even though it was not much, but it had definitely lessened.
As he was happy, the pressure on him increased again.
Fang Zhengzhi's heart was about to break...
Could he still have fun?!
Wait, something was not right! That feeling just now was definitely real. Then, what was the problem? It definitely had nothing to do with Yan Xiu. Was that... his state of mind?
Sadness, reduced pressure.
Happiness, increased pressure?!
Fang Zhengzhi's eyes lit up. That's right, that was it...
But, why was it like this? Where was he supposed to find any sadness?
Fang Zhengzhi was conflicted. Even though he had found a way, he believed that this method had to have a reason, and not be made out of nothing.
So... This secret must be contained in the Mountain and River Illustration.
Mountain and River Illustration...
Generally speaking, no one would pay attention to the shadow projected by the specks of light during a duel between two parties. However … Fang Zhengzhi was looking very seriously at this moment.
Starting from the surrounding illusions of a mountain, a river, a grass, and a tree, he observed them very carefully.
Then... He found a problem...
This seemed to be an ink painting. Because, the color of the mountains was not green, but black. This was often used in ink paintings.
This was not surprising.
However, Fang Zhengzhi felt that it was very strange.
Since he wanted to fuse the projected shadow with the real space, why did he have to paint the mountain black? Wouldn't it be easier to match the real environment with a rich green?
When he thought about it this way …
Fang Zhengzhi's eyes widened and he was extremely shocked.
"This is not the Mountain River Diagram at all!"
The mountain was ink-colored, and that was the woman's black hair. The river was a silvery river, just like the frost-dyed white hair of a woman. Her fine black hair was dyed white, waiting wholeheartedly for the master to paint!
This painting depicted the deep longing the ancestor of the Yan family had for a woman.
The mountains and rivers were women, and women were the mountains and rivers …
Since ancient times, a passionate hero had always been a passionate one. The ancestors of the Yan family did not want the empire, but the beauties! A true infatuated man. He actually fused a woman's portrait with the mountains and rivers. I understand now. I understand now!
Fang Zhengzhi's eyes lit up.
Recalling Yan Xiu's expression when he used the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan, he suddenly understood that the power of the Mountain and River Illustration was triggered by sadness.
If that was the case …
The more he resisted, the more he struggled. The more he resisted, the greater the pressure on his body.
Wrong, it was wrong from the very beginning. It wasn't that he rejected it, but that he absorbed it. He completely absorbed this sad emotion. To fuse his heart with the Mountain and River Diagram.
Fang Zhengzhi decided to let himself be sad. But, to be sad for no reason at all, it was indeed a huge pressure …
He could only borrow some tools to use.
"Ask the world, what is love, that leads one to live and die together?"
"Two travellers from all over the world, how many times do old wings return to winter and summer."
"Joy is fun, parting is bitter, and there are infatuated children."
Fang Zhengzhi's voice rang out on the stage.
This caused the surrounding examinees to be somewhat confused.
"What is Fang Zhengzhi doing? He still has the mood to recite poetry at this time?! "
"I think he admitted defeat early …"
"Looks like he gave up. But, why is he reciting this poem? He … seems to be only fifteen? "
The examinees discussed animatedly. The invigilators at the judging panel also couldn't understand.
But, after hearing Fang Zhengzhi's poem, Yan Xiu's expression changed abruptly. His eyes were filled with shock, and he looked at Fang Zhengzhi in disbelief.
At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi was feeling sad, trying his best to fuse with the Mountain and River Diagram.
He simply didn't notice Yan Xiu's gaze, and only shook his head. Not long later, he forced out a tear, and began to enter the role of sadness.
Just as he expected.
As the sadness grew stronger, the pressure on his body became less and less. It felt like the Mountain River Diagram had heard his thoughts.
This spirituality was really unimaginable.
As the pressure on his body decreased, Fang Zhengzhi really wanted to shout out happily, I finally solved the Mountain and River Diagram. But, he couldn't shout, and couldn't let the seed of happiness grow.
Because …
Once he was happy, he would immediately return to square one.
It was rather unbearable, but, in order to win, Fang Zhengzhi could only endure.
After a while, feeling the pressure on his body almost disappear, Fang Zhengzhi raised his head, and looked at Yan Xiu with a face full of sadness.
And at this moment, Yan Xiu had already stopped moving.
He was staring intently at him, completely unwilling to believe the scene in front of him …
"It's coming!" Fang Zhengzhi let out a low hoarse roar. In his mind, he thought of the pinnacle of martial arts in his previous life. He could create a set of Overwhelming Sadness Palm when he was feeling sad.
Then, today, I will take advantage of my sadness to create a set of Overwhelming Sadness Sword Techniques to see how powerful it is.
With a thought, he moved.
His body was like lightning, and his speed instantly reached its maximum.
Very fast, so fast that the surrounding examinees and examiners couldn't react.
"How can he be so fast?!"
"Where's the heavy pressure from the Mountain and River Diagram?"
All of the examinees and examiners simultaneously revealed an expression of shock.
And at this moment, Fang Zhengzhi had already reached Yan Xiu's side, the White Jade Soft Sword in his hand waving wildly, rays of white light exploding out like a flash flood.
Yan Xiu was shocked. But, he still instinctively retreated.
The Wind Shadow Technique produced a series of afterimages.
But, Fang Zhengzhi evidently had no intention of letting Yan Xiu go. He couldn't continue to be this sad, otherwise, he would really be hurt to death.
Hence. He had to quickly end the battle while he was sufficiently sad.
He couldn't care less about the technique.
He was completely pestering Fang Zhengzhi with all his might.
From the perspective of an outsider, Fang Zhengzhi definitely wasn't using some Overwhelming Sadness Sword Technique, but rather, the true Crazy Demon Sword Technique...
"I slash slash slash …" As Fang Zhengzhi chased, he waved his sword wildly.
The moon in the sky became brighter and brighter. It was getting brighter and brighter, and there were even rays of white light descending from the sky, illuminating the arena.
And looking at the round red sun.
It seemed to have borrowed too much of the light from the moon, becoming somewhat dim.
"Bam!"
Finally, Yan Xiu's chest took a solid hit from Fang Zhengzhi's sword. His body flew backwards, then fell onto the arena. But, just as he fell, Yan Xiu immediately bounced back up.
His expression was somewhat shocked.
He wanted to open his mouth to say something. But, in the end, he didn't say anything.
But, he didn't continue to retreat, instead, he attacked Fang Zhengzhi crazily.
The red sun exploded with its final rays.
And the moon became more and more resplendent.
One red, one white. Countless rays of light crisscrossed together, as if the sun, moon, and stars were interchanging. Such a scene was undoubtedly shocking. At least, all the examinees. And the invigilators, had already been completely stunned.
"Capital examination … is this really a capital examination?!"
No one would treat such a duel as a capital examination again. Because. Even the Imperial Examination wasn't as intense as this.
On the arena, countless afterimages gathered together.
After the intense collision.
The afterimages dissipated. Two figures each stood at a corner of the arena.
Yan Xiu's robes were already tattered, and streaks of blood stains hung on it. His hair seemed somewhat messy. Sweat poured down his forehead like rain, and his chest rose and fell rapidly as he inhaled and exhaled deeply.
To the disciples of the Yan family, they were forced to the point where they couldn't even control their breathing.
Evidently, they were almost at the end.
And looking at Fang Zhengzhi, his situation wasn't too good either. There were streaks of broken scratches on his Jade Sea Armour, and his arms and thighs were similarly stained with blood. His hair was similarly messy on his shoulders, and his face was covered with beads of water.
He didn't know if it was sweat or tears.
Competing on the arena …
It really was a competition to see who would tire first!
Fang Zhengzhi increasingly understood this sentence. If this continued, both sides would definitely suffer.
"I … have already … tried my best!" Yan Xiu's tone was somewhat breathless, but his expression revealed the true sincerity and friendship between friends, as if telling Fang Zhengzhi that he didn't hold anything back anymore.
"I … still have a little more. Actually, I still have one move that I haven't used yet!" Fang Zhengzhi similarly panted heavily, and his expression still maintained sadness.
"Between friends, we must really … be sincere! If you have a move … then use it! " Yan Xiu tightened his grip on the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan. A trace of shock flashed across his eyes, but he quickly relaxed.
He believed in Fang Zhengzhi. As long as Fang Zhengzhi said he had it, then he definitely had it.
"I reckon, it will hurt … hurt you." Fang Zhengzhi lightly shook his head.
"You aren't even afraid of being hurt, why would the men of the Yan family be afraid of blood?!" Yan Xiu's expression, at this moment, suddenly became incomparably serious.
"Then … watch carefully!" Just as Fang Zhengzhi's voice landed.
On the entire arena, an extremely blinding white light suddenly exploded, as if it was the brightest star in the Milky Way.
