Fang Zhengzhi did not lack patience.
The World of the Sage was out of control. Everyone in the World of the Sage knew about it. Hence, the people in the Imperial Academy would also know about it. He did not know what the situation of the Imperial Academy was.
However, one thing was certain. The longer they dragged things out, the more advantageous it would be for their side.
"If I use the Blazing Qilin Spear to make a deal with you, what do you think?" Fang Zhengzhi smiled and waved the Blazing Qilin Spear in his hand with a sincere expression.
"Using the Blazing Qilin Spear to make a deal with me?!" Ying Shan was slightly taken aback. Then, he was truly shocked.
He had not interacted much with Fang Zhengzhi. In fact, this was the first time they had met. However, he did not think that Fang Zhengzhi was a fool.
Would a person who attained the Double Roll Champion of both the county and capital examinations be a fool?
Of course not.
Even more so, Ying Shan wouldn't naively believe that Fang Zhengzhi's brain had suddenly spasmed. He could sense Fang Zhengzhi's calmness and composure. Under a situation where he was at a complete disadvantage, such a state of mind was already worthy of admiration.
Then, what was Fang Zhengzhi trying to do?
Ying Shan couldn't understand.
The surrounding examinees did not understand either. When they heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, all of them were filled with doubt, and within the doubt was a sense of fear and worry.
They were really afraid that Fang Zhengzhi would give the Blazing Qilin Spear to Ying Shan.
After all, Fang Zhengzhi was a person that nobody could judge with normal logic.
If the Blazing Qilin Spear was really handed to Ying Shan by Fang Zhengzhi, then, they would truly lose their last chance of survival.
The shock on Ping Yang's face could not be concealed either.
If there was one person who had a calm expression, it would be Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu did not know what Fang Zhengzhi wanted to do. However, regardless of whether Fang Zhengzhi was speaking the truth or not, he believed that Fang Zhengzhi had his reasons for doing this.
"Fang Zhengzhi, the Blazing Qilin Spear is mine!" Ping Yang had to remind him.
"But isn't it in my hands now?" Fang Zhengzhi held onto the Blazing Qilin Spear and reminded her to accept reality.
"You ….. If the Blazing Qilin Spear falls into the hands of the Demon Race, you will definitely die. I will not let you off. "Ping Yang did not expect Fang Zhengzhi to say something so shameless.
"Between your life and the Blazing Qilin Spear, which one would you choose?"
"Both of them!"
"You can't be too naive. You have to give and take. I choose my fate. In that case, you will have to give up the Blazing Qilin Spear. "Fang Zhengzhi advised patiently.
"Hmph!" Ping Yang couldn't compete with him, so he didn't bother.
When Ying Shan heard the conversation between Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang, the glow in his eyes flickered. Even though he wasn't willing to believe Fang Zhengzhi's words, there was always a possibility. If Fang Zhengzhi really handed the Blazing Qilin Spear over. That would save him a lot of trouble.
"Are you really willing to give the Blazing Qilin Spear to me?" Ying Shan thought for a moment, and decided to be a little more patient.
"Of course." Fang Zhengzhi said confidently.
"Alright, as long as you give me the Blazing Qilin Spear, I will spare your life!" Ying Shan's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
"Then make an oath."
"Vow? Fine! Today, I, Ying Shan, swear to the Demon God that as long as Fang Zhengzhi gives me the Blazing Qilin Spear, I will definitely spare Fang Zhengzhi's life! "Ying Shan hesitated for a moment. Eventually, he solemnly swore.
After all, he only swore that he would not die. He did not say that he would not attack Fang Zhengzhi. For example, crippling him?
"Yes, this vow sounds pretty good. However, my condition is not to spare my life. Hence … this vow is probably useless." Fang Zhengzhi nodded very seriously.
"You …" Ying Shan's expression froze. The smile on his face froze in an instant. He felt as if he was being played.
Furthermore, in front of so many humans, the dignified Ying Domain Vice Domain Chief of the Ten Devilish Domains was actually played by a kid who hadn't even grown his hair yet?
You don't want to exchange your life. What did he discuss with Ping Yang just now? And why did he want me to make an oath?
Humiliation, pure and unadulterated humiliation!
On the other hand, the other examinees looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
If they were to say that Fang Zhengzhi was stupid?
However, the dignified Vice Domain Chief of the Ten Devilish Domains seemed to have been played around by him.
But if they were to say that Fang Zhengzhi was intelligent?
Where would there be an intelligent person at this moment. Taking out the only thing that could protect him, the Blazing Qilin Spear, as a condition of exchange?
Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi with a clear gaze. She really wanted to praise him for doing well. However, when the words reached her mouth, she suppressed them. After all, Fang Zhengzhi was using her Blazing Qilin Spear as a bargaining chip.
"Hmph. You only know how to talk! "Ping Yang snorted lightly and turned her head to one side.
On the other hand, Yan Xiu's expression was calm, as if everything was within his expectations.
Amongst everyone, the person who felt this the most was Nangong Mu. He could very clearly feel that Ying Shan's emotions had received a huge blow just now.
The pressure from Ying Shan's domain had evidently weakened.
In the short span of a few sentences, Fang Zhengzhi had caused Ying Shan to almost lose control of his emotions twice. This had even bought him more time and energy. He really couldn't understand. How did Fang Zhengzhi do it?
At this moment, Xing Qingsui's face was very pale. However, he still tried his best to keep his eyes open. He felt some hatred in his heart. He hated himself for bringing Ying Shan into the World of the Sage. He hated himself even more for not having his guard up against Ying Shan.
If that wasn't the case?
How could Ying Shan's sneak attack succeed?
And now, he could only beg to use his own life to exchange for the wrong he had done. However, he had already lost the ability to do so. Now, the only person who had the ability was Fang Zhengzhi.
"What are your conditions? I will only give you one chance to say one sentence! " Ying Shan could no longer converse happily with Fang Zhengzhi. Because, he felt that if this continued, he would probably be angered to death.
"My conditions are very simple. I want to use the Blazing Qilin Spear to exchange for one of your weaknesses!" Fang Zhengzhi could feel Ying Shan's anger. Hence, he naturally couldn't continue to provoke him. He could play with fire, but he couldn't play until he burned himself.
"Weakness?" Ying Shan was taken aback. He really didn't expect Fang Zhengzhi's condition to be this.
The other examinees were also taken aback.
This kind of trade was simply impossible. Would Ying Shan be so stupid as to tell Fang Zhengzhi his weakness? Evidently not. Then, what was Fang Zhengzhi's motive?
"The Blazing Qilin Spear is my life-saving item. My weakness is your life-saving item. I will use my life-saving item to exchange for your life-saving item. This is a fair trade. Am I right? "Fang Zhengzhi didn't care about the gazes of the people around him. He looked at Ying Shan with a calm expression.
"Ha ha, what you say makes a lot of sense." When Ying Shan heard this, he finally began to laugh. "Then, how can you prove that the weakness I mentioned is real?"
"All you have to do is swear to the Demon God. Or, do you want me to stab your weakness?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ying Shan with an expression of anticipation.
His motive naturally wasn't to make a trade.
Making a trade with a stranger. Even in his previous life, nobody would do such a stupid thing. Furthermore, under such circumstances. The reason why he said he wanted to exchange his weakness was actually because the weakness was too vague. It wasn't easy to complete a trade.
Of course, if Ying Shan really said it.
He wouldn't mind listening to it.
However, as the Vice Domain Chief of the Ten Devilish Domains, would Ying Shan be so stupid? Fang Zhengzhi didn't harbor such hope. However, what difference did it make whether or not he managed to fish it out? His motive was to stall for time. Hence, this trade was merely an excuse to stall for time.
A vague and incomparably complicated trade. That was the best choice to stall for time.
Furthermore, the most important point was …
Fang Zhengzhi was testing.
Testing the extent of Ying Shan's fear of the Blazing Qilin Spear.
From their conversation, Fang Zhengzhi could already confirm that Ying Shan knew the power of the Blazing Qilin Spear. Hence, if Ying Shan really agreed to this trade, it meant that he was very afraid of the Blazing Qilin Spear. The result of this battle was unknown. If he fought to the death, he would at least have a fifty percent chance of winning.
However, if Ying Shan simply gave up.
This meant that the threat that the Blazing Qilin Spear posed to him would at most be some light injuries. That was all. If he wanted to use the Blazing Qilin Spear to defeat Ying Shan, he estimated that he didn't even have a ten percent chance of winning.
"Ha ha ha … you really put in a lot of effort. You actually thought of using the Blazing Qilin Spear to exchange for my weakness? What a pity. I'm going to disappoint you. "Ying Shan couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on Fang Zhengzhi. He raised the long blade in his hand and prepared to charge.
When Fang Zhengzhi saw Ying Shan's determined attitude, he knew that the Blazing Qilin Spear in his hand didn't pose as much of a threat to Ying Shan as he had imagined.
However, to stall for time, he didn't mind saying a few more words.
"Calm down. If you don't agree to this condition, we can change it … "
"Cut the crap, die!"
Ying Shan was truly enraged this time.
Even though the Blazing Qilin Spear posed some threat to him, he came here with his life on the line. He didn't even have any hopes of leaving Yan Capital alive. Hence, as long as this threat wasn't fatal, it wasn't a threat.
His footsteps moved. In his rage, Ying Shan actually gave up on the trapped Nangong Mu and charged towards Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi's eyes lit up. His plan instantly changed.
The tactic of stalling for time immediately became a diversion tactic. Furthermore, he had never thought of going head to head with Ying Shan so quickly.
Hence, when Ying Shan moved, he immediately shouted out loudly.
"Run!"
Then, without giving Ping Yang and Yan Xiu a chance to speak, he grabbed them and ran. His expression was one of complete lack of hesitation.
The examinees who were waiting to watch a huge battle were instantly stunned.
If this was the combat examination, he would immediately run.
Wouldn't he be considered to have voluntarily admitted defeat and be eliminated?
Did he have to be so weak?
After all, he was holding one of the ten greatest treasures of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Blazing Qilin Spear. If he didn't fight with his life on the line now, when would he? If not, he could just stab a few times and run when the situation didn't look right?
But now, if he ran as soon as the enemy arrived, wouldn't that be a little too shameless?
Would Fang Zhengzhi care about such insignificant things?
Of course not.
Preserving his life was his highest priority. As for breaking through in the middle of a battle and being reborn in the midst of a battle, that was just a forced cheat.
"We are making a deal, can we show some sincerity? If one condition doesn't work, we can still discuss the next one. If the next one doesn't work, we can still discuss the next one. Shouting and killing isn't a solution … "Fang Zhengzhi didn't forget to shout as he ran.
"Alright, let's sit together and discuss!" Ying Shan's eyes were somewhat bloodshot. The feeling of humiliation deeply hurt him. Hence, he gritted his teeth.
"I think it's better to keep a distance. If you stop, I will stop immediately." Fang Zhengzhi definitely wouldn't fall for it.
"Hmph!" Ying Shan snorted coldly and didn't reply Fang Zhengzhi. He increased his speed and instantly left a smoke-like shadow …
Fang Zhengzhi was shocked by Ying Shan's speed.
Isn't this too fast?
Luckily, he was prepared. Coupled with the fact that he had learned Yan Xiu's Wind Shadow Technique, his speed wouldn't be too slow.
One chased, one ran.
Ying Shan's territory naturally shifted towards Fang Zhengzhi's position.
On the other hand, Nangong Mu, who was originally trapped in Ying Shan's territory, immediately regained some color. The pressure on his body visibly lessened as the green and blue territory glowed brightly. His eyes were filled with shock.
Even if the other examinees didn't understand Fang Zhengzhi's intentions, he definitely did.
Only he understood Fang Zhengzhi's intentions.
Without another word, without even much hesitation, Nangong Mu turned around and leapt towards the rock. The Green and Blue Dual Blade in his hands sliced towards the four black chains sealing the golden sword.
The golden hilt of the sword had a golden dragon wrapped around it. The faint golden light shone on the blade.
The chains that were used to seal such a sword naturally couldn't be broken by an ordinary sword. However, the sword in Nangong Mu's hands wasn't an ordinary sword.
It was the treasure of the Nangong Family, the Green and Blue Dual Blade.
Other than being a necessary weapon to use the Green and Blue Secret Art, the Green and Blue Dual Blade was extremely sharp. Even in the Great Xia Dynasty's Book of Weapons, it was ranked in the top 30.
"Ding!" A crisp sound rang out.
A finger-sized crack appeared on the black chains.
Nangong Mu's body trembled. Fresh blood gushed out from the wound on his chest, staining his shirt red.
Such a commotion didn't escape Ying Shan's ears.
The figure charging towards Nangong Mu stopped. Ying Shan turned around and saw that Nangong Mu's Green and Blue Dual Blade had been raised once again and sliced towards the chains at lightning speed.
"I see!" As the Deputy Commander of the Ten Devilish Domains, Ying Shan was well versed in the art of war. However, he had fallen for Fang Zhengzhi's trick in his anger.
This hurt his pride once again.
Fang Zhengzhi had to be eliminated!
However, the most important thing now was to stop Nangong Mu from drawing his sword.
Ying Shan instantly made a decision. With a turn of his feet, he leapt towards Nangong Mu on the rock, completely ignoring Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi had always followed a famous saying.
If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. If the enemy moves … I will move recklessly!
Now that Ying Shan had moved towards Nangong Mu, he naturally couldn't let Ying Shan return to Nangong Mu's side so easily.
"Watch my hidden weapon!"
