How was this possible?
Xing Qingsui could not understand how Fang Zhengzhi had managed to comprehend the Force that he had been trying to comprehend for more than a decade.
Why?
Xing Qingsui felt that he would not lose to anyone in terms of bravery. Then, why did he lose to Fang Zhengzhi? Was it the will to fight? No! Was it determination? That did not seem right either!
Could it be...
Suddenly, a word flashed past Xing Qingsui's mind. Friendship!
Friendship?!
Xing Qingsui clenched his fists tightly, his eyes shining with excitement. That's right, friendship. Fang Zhengzhi wanted to defeat Yan Xiu not for fame or fortune, but for the friendship between him and Yan Xiu.
His father killed the enemy on the battlefield, not to gain merit, nor to establish a career, but for the friendship that Emperor Lin Mubai had for him.
Competitiveness might be able to make a person courageous and courageous, but it would not allow a person's combat power to increase by several folds.
Force!
He had to win!
Only when his heart was filled with friendship would he be able to unleash his true fighting spirit. Only then would he be able to attack, attack, and attack...
"Father, I think I understand now!" Xing Qingsui looked in the direction of the Stabilisation Constabulary, his face filled with excitement.
The civil and military officials felt their hearts churning in turmoil.
"Fang Zhengzhi really mastered Xing Hou's fighting techniques!"
"Is this really a coincidence?!"
"A commoner who has never been to the Hall of Dao has topped the county examinations, capital examinations, and imperial examinations time and time again. Furthermore, he knows the secret techniques of the Divine Constabulary, as well as Xing Hou's battle techniques..."
Question after question flashed past the minds of all of the officials.
If Fang Zhengzhi had previously appeared to be a talented commoner, then now, all of the officials could not help but think of another possibility.
Eight years ago. The daughter of the Divine Constabulary set up a Hall of Dao in the Southern Mountain Village. Then, Fang Zhengzhi was chased out of the Southern Mountain Village and lost the right to enter. Was it a coincidence that he studied hard in the Northern Mountain Village?
Eight years later, Fang Zhengzhi, a commoner who had never been to a Hall of Dao, dominated the county and provincial examinations. He defeated one opponent after another.
Then, he coincidentally made a promise of ten years with that daughter in the Divine Constabulary. Furthermore, the time was exactly the same as the prophecy of the Heavenly Prophecy?
Was this also a coincidence?
Even if all these were coincidences, he knew the secret techniques of the Divine Constabulary, and even knew Xing Yuanguo's battle techniques. Was this still a coincidence?
Wasn't this too much of a coincidence?
It was a conspiracy!
Or perhaps, all of this was deliberately planned from the start.
Then …
What was his purpose?!
What kind of responsibility would Fang Zhengzhi bear in this scheme that had been set up for eight years? How would he stir up this change in the imperial court?
The officials could not understand, because this plot was too deep, so deep that it made their hearts tremble.
Compared to the officials, Emperor Lin Mubai had more information. At the very least, he knew everything that had happened between Xing Yuanguo and Fang Zhengzhi in The Vast World.
Because of this, he suppressed the news of Fang Zhengzhi killing the soldiers in the Northern Mountain Village.
A few hundred elite soldiers were nothing compared to the heart of the Stabilisation Constabulary.
However … Emperor Lin Mubai was also pondering the same question. "Is Fang Zhengzhi really so talented that he was able to see through Xing Yuanguo's techniques with one look?! If that is the case, how talented is he? Even Chi Guyan would not be able to do such a thing! But if he was not a genius … Then how did he learn Xing Yuanguo's techniques? The first thing Xing Yuanguo did when he returned to the capital was to plead for Fang Zhengzhi! Is there really nothing else going on? "
Emperor Lin Mubai did not want to guess the intentions of the Stabilisation Constabulary.
However, as a high and mighty monarch, he had to eliminate all possible accidents in the cradle.
That was the way of a ruler.
"I hope this is really a coincidence!" Emperor Lin Mubai looked at Fang Zhengzhi once again. Then, he sat back down on his throne.
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's gaze did not linger on Fang Zhengzhi. Instead, he looked at Duan Xinjue. He suddenly thought of a possibility that he had never thought of before.
Chi Hou of the Divine Constabulary was on his sixth brother's side!
Although Chi Guyan had always maintained a neutral stance, they were still father and daughter. In that case, was Chi Guyan really as neutral as she appeared to be?
Was it really a coincidence that Chi Guyan set up a Hall of Dao in the Southern Mountain Village eight years ago? It was not a deliberate ploy.
If it was a ploy.
Then, was it possible that Chi Guyan was the mastermind behind all of this? Or, could it be that his sixth brother was the real mastermind?!
One in the light, one in the dark?
On the surface, it seemed as if Sixth Brother was going against Fang Zhengzhi. However, in reality, Fang Zhengzhi was unscathed ever since he entered the Flame Capital City. Furthermore, when Sixth Brother was invigilating the Imperial Examinations, everything went smoothly …
Was there a hidden reason behind all of this?
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong squinted his eyes. These possibilities did not seem very likely. After all, this ploy was too deep.
However, when it came to seizing the throne, which one of them did not put in a lot of effort and effort? The more impossible it seemed, the more likely it was.
Crown Prince Lin Tianrong was guessing who Fang Zhengzhi would be.
How could Duan Xinjue not guess as well?
This was the same logic. He was also guessing from Chi Guyan's perspective. Of course, the result was the opposite. What if Chi Guyan was on the Crown Prince's side?
Then, did that mean that the Stabilisation Constabulary was also on the Crown Prince's side?
The fight for the throne had always been one of deceit. One wrong move would result in a series of mistakes. One could even lose everything, and the consequence of losing would be losing one's life.
Fight!
Once a step was taken, there was no turning back.
No matter who Fang Zhengzhi was, no matter what power he had behind him. Kill him! Everything would be revealed …
...
Fang Zhengzhi did not know that his imitation of Xing Yuanguo had caused such a huge commotion. His only goal was to defeat Yan Xiu.
He wanted to defeat Yan Xiu in a fair and square manner.
There was only one thought in his mind. That was to attack, attack, and attack again.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"..."
Sounds of collisions rang out on the stage. Fang Zhengzhi's attacks were like a hurricane, and did not stop. Just as Xing Qingsui had guessed, when a person's heart was filled with emotions, he would be in control.
As such, Xing Yuanguo's fighting style was not a problem.
In fact, the more Fang Zhengzhi fought, the more he felt like he could do whatever he wanted. His techniques were already starting to deviate from Xing Yuanguo's techniques.
Instead, he fused the miscellaneous moves that he had mastered into his attack.
There was no order to it.
But, it was done in one go.
Yan Xiu was getting more and more shocked. Fang Zhengzhi's attacks were getting faster and faster, so fast that he could barely defend himself.
This seemed to be an inconceivable thing.
After all... His current speed and strength far exceeded Fang Zhengzhi's.
But, he was being suppressed.
"He has reached this stage in just a few months?" Yan Xiu was shocked. He believed that Fang Zhengzhi could do the impossible.
However, he still felt that this was unbelievable. He was familiar with Fang Zhengzhi. Because of that, he felt that this was all the more unbelievable.
Because, Fang Zhengzhi seemed to have become a completely different person.
From a beginner, he had suddenly become a master who could control the battlefield. This change was too fast. It was so fast that even he felt that it was strange.
Just as he was thinking, Fang Zhengzhi's fist arrived.
The angle of the attack was extremely tricky. It was aimed at Yan Xiu's blind spot. When Yan Xiu saw this punch... There was no way to dodge it.
"Boom!"
Yan Xiu's body was thrown into the air. His legs left the ground. However, the moment he left the ground, Yan Xiu grit his teeth. He felt like a mountain was pressing down on him. He forced his body, which was already in the air, back onto the stage.
This worsened his injuries.
However, it allowed him to block Fangzheng's heavy kick.
A loss is a gain.
...
Under Fang Zhengzhi's ferocious attack, the situation on the stage had already changed. The attacking and defending sides had already switched positions at this moment.
"Can Fang Zhengzhi really beat Yan Xiu?"
At this moment, some people had this thought in their minds. However, this was not the majority. Most people still felt that Fang Zhengzhi was just a spent force.
Xing Yuanguo's ferocious attacks required sufficient strength to sustain. He did not even have the time to catch a breath.
Would Fang Zhengzhi be able to hold on for another 15 minutes?
Even a Supernatural State cultivator would find it difficult to use Xing Yuanguo's technique for 15 minutes, much less a Heavenly Reflection State cultivator.
As such, the outcome was set in stone.
At this moment, all of the officials suddenly realized that Yan Xiu had changed.
A faint red light rose from the soles of his feet, and the two vortexes that were originally under his feet now seemed to have submerged his calves.
From afar, Yan Xiu looked as though he was being pulled by two faint red whirlpools.
"What's going on?" Some of the officials were confused when they saw what was happening.
However, the expressions of a small number of officials changed slightly, as if they had thought of something extremely terrifying.
As for Yan Xiu, he was sweating profusely. His clothes were completely soaked, almost as if he had just been fished out of a pool.
He knew that if he did not think of a solution, he would have lost this battle.
"No, I have to fight to the last moment!" Yan Xiu's eyes flashed with determination. Fang Zhengzhi's power shocked him, but he could not lose his pride.
I said I would defeat you before I left the capital. I will defeat you!
At this moment, Yan Xiu completely gave up on defending. This was because he had no more time to hold on. This was his last gamble.
"Bang, bang!" Two punches landed heavily on Yan Xiu's body.
However, Yan Xiu did not move. He gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood in his mouth. He waved his hands and a faint red glow appeared in front of him.
Fang Zhengzhi's gaze froze.
He knew how terrifying this red glow was. Just now, Yan Xiu had used this method to break through his trap and the Million Sword Illustration.
The result...
It caused the Wheel of Good and Evil to rise from his feet to his ankles.
Now, Yan Xiu was using this power again.
Fang Zhengzhi's heart tightened when he saw the red whirlpool near his thighs. If it rose another step, it could reach his abdomen or even his chest!
He could not let Yan Xiu use this.
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to stop him.
However, it was too late. Yan Xiu had already taken two hits. He would not allow himself to take a third hit. As such, he was extremely fast.
He was so fast that Fang Zhengzhi could not stop him.
However, Yan Xiu seemed to know the power of his light. When he used this technique, he did not slash at Fang Zhengzhi. Instead, he slammed the light towards Fang Zhengzhi.
"Bang!"
Fang Zhengzhi's body collided with the light.
In that instant, he felt as if he had smashed into a pane of glass. The feeling of the light shattering was intense. When the light shattered into specks of red light, he finally understood...
Why the Dao of Asura was known as the supreme Dao.
Good!
Evil!
Two completely different emotions entered Fang Zhengzhi's mind along with the faint red light. It gave him a splitting headache and an urge to tear himself apart.
His body froze. All of his bones were in so much pain that he could not move.
Was it an illusion?
Or was it reality?
Fang Zhengzhi did not know. All he knew was that the Dao of Asura was known as the strongest offensive Dao. As such, it was definitely not weak.
Of course, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that Yan Xiu had already charged towards Fang Zhengzhi, his palm aimed for his chest.
If this palm hit...
In that case, Fang Zhengzhi would be able to fly in a beautiful arc in the air, then fall head first off the stage in a freefall.
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to dodge.
However, the intense pain caused his movements to slow down. There was no way he could dodge.
It was getting closer, getting closer!
Fang Zhengzhi watched as the palm reached his chest.
Was he going to lose?
No way!
I said that I would defeat you, and I will defeat you!
Fang Zhengzhi grit his teeth and took the initiative. Instead of retreating, he charged towards Yan Xiu.
"Boom!"
The palm hit.
Fang Zhengzhi felt as if he was about to fly. However, before he flew, his hands reached Yan Xiu's side.
Instinctively, he grabbed Yan Xiu.
