The golden pillar of light that shot into the sky was something that everyone had seen with their own eyes.
Furthermore, the rock that sealed the sword had completely exploded and shattered into pieces. Furthermore, the four chains that sealed the sword were made of extraordinary materials.
No one would believe that the sword was fake.
Most importantly, Fang Zhengzhi was the one who said it. No one was willing to believe it.
"Is Fang Zhengzhi really going to use that sword to exchange for our lives?"
"Is he really that good?"
"No matter how I think about it, I don't think it's possible!"
Doubts began to rise in everyone's hearts.
Some of them hated Fang Zhengzhi's previous words. Some of them were shocked by Fang Zhengzhi's actions.
However, these thoughts didn't last for long. The joy of relief caused them to forget all their doubts.
Escaping from a sword on their necks, was there anything more important than that?
The situation was once again in a stalemate.
Because, there was still one person left beside the sword, and Ying Shan still had the lives of the last five people in his hands.
Any transaction would only be known at the last moment. For example, Fang Zhengzhi stood beside the sword, and Ying Shan still had the lives of the five examinees in his hands.
Xing Qingsui was one of the five examinees.
Nangong Mu gripped the Green and Blue Dual Blade in his hands tightly, as if preparing for something.
There was a saying that went like this. The onlooker sees the game more clearly than the onlooker. Nangong Mu believed in this saying. Hence, he had always looked at the transaction in front of him as an onlooker.
This was the reason why he was willing to listen to Fang Zhengzhi and leave the sword.
Of course, he didn't believe that the sword was fake.
However, he had to leave.
Because, only by leaving could he save the lives of the five examinees.
The authorities would guess whether the sword was real or fake. However, the onlooker didn't need to guess. He only needed to look at the current situation to understand.
Ying Shan spared the lives of the ten examinees.
And Fang Zhengzhi stood beside the sword.
This seemed like a fair transaction, but in reality, it wasn't. Because, to draw the sword, only one person was needed!
This was a cruel reality, and Fang Zhengzhi had made the wisest decision. He used the lives of two people to exchange for the lives of ten examinees.
As for the lives of the last five examinees, he naturally couldn't save them.
Then, next …
Fang Zhengzhi was about to draw his sword.
Nangong Mu had thought of this a long time ago. Xing Qingsui had also thought of this at this point in time. The situation had developed to this stage. Actually, it wasn't that difficult to look at it again.
After thinking this through, he bit his lips tightly and prepared himself fully in his heart.
A gust of wind blew past, causing Fang Zhengzhi's blue robe to flutter. The scene suddenly became somewhat silent. Everyone was waiting for Fang Zhengzhi to draw his sword.
Fang Zhengzhi stood beside the sword and gazed at Ying Shan.
Ying Shan was also looking at Fang Zhengzhi.
His eyes narrowed slightly. Previously, he was confused by Fang Zhengzhi's words and did not think of this immediately. But now, he could see it clearly.
So that was how it was!
Ying Shan was a little resentful. However, if he had to choose again, he would still make the same choice. Using 10 ordinary examinees to bet on a probability was very worth it. Most importantly, he still had the most important person in his hands, Xing Qingsui.
"Are you going to draw your sword?" Ying Shan smiled.
"This sword is fake, why should I pull it out?" Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
"Until now. Do you still have to say this? "
"I am only speaking the truth."
"Then, what do you plan to do next? If you want me to release him first, I can tell you directly that it is impossible. "Ying Shan's expression was filled with determination.
"No. I only need you to make an oath, an oath in the name of the Demon God. After I leave, you will release him! "Fang Zhengzhi shook his head again.
"You plan to leave first?" A trace of shock flashed across Ying Shan's eyes.
"Since you said that it is impossible to release him first, then, of course, I will leave." Fang Zhengzhi said matter-of-factly.
"Alright!" Ying Shan nodded.
If the deal could be completed successfully. Then, the person with the advantage would naturally be him. Because, once the deal was completed, the sword would be in his hands. He would also regain the initiative. Then, there would be no point in playing tricks.
The remaining examinees were somewhat confused. What was the point of Fang Zhengzhi's request? Because, they all believed that Fang Zhengzhi would definitely draw his sword.
Don't tell me it is to anger Ying Shan again?
If that was the case, then, they could only say that Fang Zhengzhi was somewhat bored.
Nangong Mu's expression was also somewhat shocked.
He felt that his judgement wasn't wrong. Then, what was the point of Fang Zhengzhi doing such a thing? For the first time, he felt as if he couldn't read Fang Zhengzhi's thoughts.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't say anything. He only stood silently on the spot, waiting for Ying Shan to make his oath.
"I, Ying Shan, swear to the Demon God that as long as Fang Zhengzhi keeps to his promise and leaves, I will follow the promise and temporarily release the remaining five examinees!" Ying Shan used the word 'temporarily'. The meaning behind his words was very clear.
However, Fang Zhengzhi nodded and didn't raise any objections.
After Ying Shan's words landed, he slowly left. It was as if he was doing something very natural and logical. He left very calmly and calmly.
However, this action made everyone widen their eyes in surprise.
Ying Shan was indeed using the lives of ten examinees to bet on this probability.
However, he didn't think that this probability would become a reality. But now, it seemed that he had won the bet. Fang Zhengzhi really left. He left that sword.
One by one, the examinees stared at Fang Zhengzhi in disbelief. They all felt that Fang Zhengzhi should have pulled out the sword. However, the reality was that Fang Zhengzhi didn't pull it out. Instead, he really left.
"Fang Zhengzhi, what is he doing?"
"Doesn't he know that once the sword lands in Ying Shan's hands, it means that we will all die?"
"This … I don't understand!"
The examinees were completely stunned. They really didn't know what Fang Zhengzhi was doing.
The sword on the necks of Xing Qingsui and the other four examinees fell.
Ying Shan kept to his promise.
Fang Zhengzhi also kept to his promise.
Hence, the two of them exchanged positions like two honest men who valued their words. Ying Shan stood beside the sword, while Fang Zhengzhi returned to Yan Xiu's side.
This seemed to be an extremely perfect and harmonious deal.
However, when a human and a demon were so harmonious, it seemed somewhat strange.
Most importantly, this wasn't a deal that everyone wanted to see. At least, none of the examinees who were still alive wanted to see such an outcome.
Xing Qingsui was carried into the crowd by a few examinees who were slightly injured. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi. His expression was filled with deep unwillingness. He really couldn't understand why Fang Zhengzhi would give up that sword at the last moment.
"Why didn't you pull out the sword?" Xing Qingsui asked with difficulty.
"If I say that I gave up my chance to live, just to let you live temporarily, would you believe me?" Fang Zhengzhi didn't answer Xing Qingsui's question. Instead, he asked back.
"I don't believe you!" Xing Qingsui replied without hesitation.
"What about you guys?"
"We don't believe it either!"
"Then, what else do you think is possible?" Fang Zhengzhi smiled faintly.
Xing Qingsui was silent. The other examinees looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"The sword is fake?" An examinee probed.
"Yes, such a simple logic, why can't all of you understand?" Fang Zhengzhi seemed to be very disdainful of answering this question.
"..."
"How can that sword be fake?"
The examinees were somewhat speechless. However, most of them didn't believe it.
Fang Zhengzhi couldn't even be bothered to reply. He waved his hands lightly and looked at the crowd with disdain.
There was only one person who looked calm.
That was Yan Xiu.
Nangong Mu stood at the side of the crowd. He was somewhat arrogant. However, his gaze was fixed on Fang Zhengzhi's face. He wanted to see something from Fang Zhengzhi's expression.
However, he was disappointed.
When Fang Zhengzhi talked about the sword, his expression was very calm.
Ying Shan stood beside the sword, his gaze slowly turning sharp. Regardless of what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking, he had once again gained the upper hand.
As long as the sword remained on the ground.
Then, the World of the Sage would always be sealed.
With his Supernatural State powers, he could kill Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu. It was just a matter of time.
...
The situation seemed to have returned to the starting point.
However, it was even more serious than before.
Xing Qingsui and the rest of the examinees had completely lost their ability to fight. The only people who could still fight were Fang Zhengzhi, Yan Xiu, and the injured Nangong Mu.
As for Ping Yang?
She was completely ignored by Fang Zhengzhi.
"How are you so sure that the sword is fake?" Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi. She was very unwilling to ask Fang Zhengzhi this question. Because... If she asked, Fang Zhengzhi would definitely look down on her. However, she was still somewhat curious.
"Do you want to try?" Fang Zhengzhi turned to look at Ping Yang.
"Try? How? "Ping Yang was somewhat shocked.
"Pull it out..." Fang Zhengzhi said matter-of-factly.
"Pull..." Just as Ping Yang was about to say how to pull it out, her eyes widened.
Or rather, it wasn't just Ping Yang's eyes that widened. Everyone's eyes widened.
This was the first time Ying Shan's expression became somewhat contorted. That was due to the extreme shock he felt. He had thought of countless possibilities, but he had never thought of such a possibility.
Nangong Mu's calmness was finally broken.
He had always felt that he could see through Fang Zhengzhi. However, later on, he suddenly felt that he couldn't. Now, he had a thought.
He seemed to have been thinking too much.
He didn't know how Fang Zhengzhi did it, but if Fang Zhengzhi was really able to do it, then he would have the upper hand from the beginning to the end.
The sword...
Was pulled out.
Completely silent.
It floated in mid-air, glowing with a faint golden light.
This was an extremely strange scene.
However, it was the truth.
"You... don't tell me you..." Ying Shan never dreamed that Fang Zhengzhi could do this. Because, this was his ability, shadow control.
"Is there a problem?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ying Shan innocently.
In his pocket dimension, there were hundreds of Daos of All Creations. Stars that had been gathered for seven years. Shadow? Shouldn't these things be gathered?
When he first saw Ying Shan pull out the sword from the ground.
He felt that this move was not bad.
As such, he began to try it. However, thinking and doing it required some attempts. This attempt required some time.
As such, he continued to delay. As he delayed, he continuously tried to use the shadow to pull out the sword from the ground.
All the way until his hand gripped the sword.
He was finally sure that he could do this.
As such, he definitely didn't need to pull out the sword immediately.
Would Ying Shan pull out the sword?
Of course not.
As such, Fang Zhengzhi wasn't in a rush at all. At the very least, he wasn't in a rush to pull out the sword when Ying Shan controlled the lives of over ten examinees. He had sufficient time to wait.
As for the authenticity of the sword?
Fang Zhengzhi naturally didn't know.
What he needed to do was to make Ying Shan feel that he wouldn't pull out the sword.
Therefore, he kept telling everyone that the sword was fake, it was fake, it was fake …
Furthermore, he used his actions to tell Ying Shan and all the examinees.
He could have the opportunity to pull out the sword.
However, he didn't pull it out. He didn't pull it out.
Even when he held onto the hilt of the sword, he didn't pull it out.
As such, Ying Shan naturally wouldn't expect Fang Zhengzhi to pull out the sword again.
More importantly, even if Ying Shan firmly believed that the sword was real, he would still speculate because of Fang Zhengzhi's actions. Could the sword be fake?
Even if it was just a guess.
Opportunity …
Sometimes, it was all in the blink of an eye.
Fang Zhengzhi's thinking was actually very simple. He just didn't want others to know that he would pull out the sword. As for what others thought? He didn't know, and didn't need to know.
But now …
Just when everyone was thinking that the sword might really be a fake, Lin Fan's expression suddenly changed.
He pulled out the sword.
Just when Ying Shan stood beside the sword with unparalleled confidence, he very easily sent a shadow from the ground to the hilt of the sword. Then, he quickly pulled out the sword.
Ping Yang didn't expect such a turn of events. As such, she was so shocked that her tiny mouth was agape.
Nangong Mu also didn't expect this. Because, he clearly remembered who could control shadows.
As such, the calmness on his face was broken and replaced with shock.
Ying Shan didn't expect this. Because, this was his technique. Just as Nangong Mu had said, there weren't many people in the human race who could use this technique. Fang Zhengzhi's name wasn't among them.
Yan Xiu could think of this. However, he wasn't sure that Fang Zhengzhi could do it.
But, what did it matter?
Regardless of whether Fang Zhengzhi could do this or not, he would definitely have a way to pull out the sword. This was what Yan Xiu always thought.
The scene …
At this moment, there was a momentary silence.
The sword emitting a faint golden glow floated in the air. Everyone's gaze was fixated on that sword. That sword that Fang Zhengzhi pulled out from the ground.
A faint smile appeared on the edges of Fang Zhengzhi's mouth.
