Such a scene instantly made everyone stop what they were doing at the same time.
Kill someone?
To the people of this world, this was not an exaggeration. However, there was no reason for him to kill a candidate in front of everyone.
The meaning behind this was different.
In terms of emotion, reason, and law, this was something that shouldn't have happened. However, in terms of effect, there were some unexpected gains.
For example, all of the soldiers who were still resisting subconsciously took a step back when they saw this. Then, a clanging sound rang out.
Almost a thousand soldiers dropped their weapons to the ground.
The matter of surrendering seemed to have been resolved perfectly.
However, even though the soldiers had surrendered, the candidates were infuriated. It was as though a spark had fallen into a pot of boiling oil, and it started to burn.
"Fang Zhengzhi, how dare you kill someone for no reason!" One of the candidates glared at Fang Zhengzhi, his face filled with rage. However, when he said the word "dare", he subconsciously shrunk back.
Because...
Having spent some time in the capital, he did not think that there was anything that Fang Zhengzhi did not dare to do. Recently, he had disappeared during the announcement of the court examination results.
"Avenge Young Master Li, capture Fang Zhengzhi!"
"Killing someone for no reason is unforgivable!"
"Such a shameless person, I really cannot be associated with him. Soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty, listen up. Fang Zhengzhi has killed people recklessly, he cannot escape punishment. Don't think about the rules of the combat examination anymore. Young masters, please lend me a hand. Today, we will capture this thief and hand him over to the Crown Prince to be punished!"
One stone stirred up a thousand ripples. Very quickly, a few scholars responded from behind. Four scholars even raised their swords and charged towards Fang Zhengzhi at this moment.
As the four of them charged, they began to recount Fang Zhengzhi's crimes. Each and every one of them seemed to be filled with righteous indignation.
All of the other candidates were stunned when they saw this.
All of them were slightly taken aback. After all, according to the rules of the combat examination, they were all eliminated. Furthermore, according to the laws of the Great Xia, even if Fang Zhengzhi had committed a crime.
His punishment should be decided by the Ministry of Law.
It did not make sense for them to want to capture Fang Zhengzhi immediately. However, when he thought about how Fang Zhengzhi was cooking while they were fighting, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Even though Fang Zhengzhi was the one who broke the formation, the candidates who had been trapped in the formation for close to two hours were filled with resentment.
Why not just capture Fang Zhengzhi, then hand the army back to Wu Feng?
When the time comes and the Emperor asks about it. Since Fang Zhengzhi had committed a crime, the results of the combat examination naturally didn't count. Hence, they didn't have to honor their loss to Fang Zhengzhi.
In conclusion …
The results of the combat examination seemed to be more ideal!
Thinking of this, the other scholars looked at each other. They all understood what each other was thinking. In an instant, another three or four scholars followed.
There was a saying that went like this: those who were watching a show wouldn't mind it getting bigger.
When the other scholars saw that seven or eight scholars were about to fight Fang Zhengzhi to the death, even if they didn't attack at this time. There shouldn't be anything wrong with going over to watch the show, right?
Hence, the scholars also began to move. They fought to be the first to charge towards Fang Zhengzhi, who was standing at the entrance of the wind valley, holding a jade-green Sun Shooting Bow.
"Guard Fang. These people seem to be rebelling? " Teng Shisheng didn't really understand why Fang Zhengzhi wanted to attack Wu Feng. However, he didn't care about this.
Because, he only listened to the Green Stone Token.
Fang Zhengzhi had the Green Stone Token in his hands. Hence, he would definitely protect Fang Zhengzhi unconditionally.
"That's right. They are indeed rebelling. " Fang Zhengzhi looked at the scholars charging towards him, then looked at Teng Shisheng's body slowly blocking in front of him. The edges of his mouth curved into a slight smile.
When the other military commanders saw this scene, they all had different expressions on their faces. They had all heard the words shouted out by the scholars, and naturally understood the meaning behind these words.
However, what could they do?
They were soldiers. They didn't know if the commander had committed a crime, but they understood the principle of military orders being absolute. However, the fact that Fang Zhengzhi had killed first was right in front of their eyes.
What should they do?
Hesitation and conflict. This was a pain that they had to experience within a short period of time.
In reality, other than the hesitation and conflict of the military commanders, there were two other people who were also extremely conflicted. They were Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu.
Logically speaking, Chen Feiyu and Wu Feng should be on the side of the victims in this matter. However, they didn't have any intention of charging towards Fang Zhengzhi.
Chen Feiyu was a relative of the Emperor, a disciple of the thirteen constabularies. He had his dignity. Even though he was angry that Fang Zhengzhi shot an arrow at him, thinking back carefully, he did indeed "make a mistake" at that time.
Then …
Fang Zhengzhi shooting him wasn't wrong.
On the other hand, Wu Feng's problem was different from Chen Feiyu's. He faintly remembered that when Fang Zhengzhi shot an arrow at him, there wasn't anyone else behind him.
However, just as the arrow was about to land, it hit a candidate!
What was going on?
Wu Feng actually hoped that these scholars would take down Fang Zhengzhi. Then, it would be best if they could immediately revoke Fang Zhengzhi's qualifications to participate in the examination. However, he didn't participate in this operation.
Instead, he instinctively looked towards the corpse not too far away.
Wu Feng wasn't far away from the corpse. From his angle, he could very clearly see that the other party had indeed been hit by the Million Sword Illustration. Because, the bloodstains on his chest looked as if they had been sliced open by a sharp sword.
However …
He didn't seem to be dead!
Wu Feng felt the slight rise and fall of the other party's chest, as well as the weak breathing coming from his nose. His eyes evidently lit up.
With a quick stride, he arrived beside the scholar.
"Young Master Li, can you hear me?" Wu Feng slightly squatted down and used one hand to touch the scholar's nose. Using the other hand, he lightly shook the scholar's body.
"Young … Young Master Wu, save … save me …" The scholar seemed to feel his body shaking and an extremely weak voice came out from his mouth. His eyes also slowly opened. However, it seemed to be extremely strenuous. He could only slightly squint his eyes.
"Of course. I have some top-notch medicine on me to stop the bleeding. Please don't die. " When Wu Feng heard this voice, he didn't care about anything else and immediately fished out a jade-green jade bottle from his pocket. Then, he poured out two green pills. One was directly fed to the scholar, while the other was crushed into powder and sprinkled onto the wound on the scholar's chest.
Just as Wu Feng was treating the injured scholar.
The other scholars had already charged in front of Fang Zhengzhi. The four people who charged first didn't even say a single word. Instead, they directly attacked Fang Zhengzhi.
Four swords drew out four different-coloured rays of light. From top, bottom, left and right, they attacked Fang Zhengzhi simultaneously. Their speed was extremely fast and their swords were extremely ferocious.
When Teng Shisheng saw this, he didn't hesitate any longer. With an angry roar, he charged forward.
When the other Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry saw Teng Shisheng, they also pounced forward. They didn't have the slightest intention of showing mercy.
As for the other military commanders, they were completely stunned by this turn of events. They had indeed thought that there might be a battle.
However, they had never thought that.
This battle would happen so quickly. Furthermore, they didn't even greet each other? They were all examinees. Even if they wanted to kill each other, shouldn't they at least announce their crimes?
The military commanders were shocked.
On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi's expression seemed calm, as if he had long guessed that this would happen. He wasn't the slightest bit moved by the opponent's direct attack.
Instead, he silently drew the Sun Shooting Bow in his hand into a full crescent.
Then …
Directly aimed at one of the four scholars who attacked first. He shot over.
"Woosh!"
This arrow was different from the two arrows shot towards Chen Feiyu and Wu Feng. Those two arrows were shot out in a parabolic trajectory. However, this arrow was shot straight.
Because, the distance was extremely close.
A jade-green light flashed. It instantly arrived in front of a scholar. It carried with it the sound of air being torn apart, and a black crack that shattered the space.
"Boom!"
A loud sound rang out once again.
It carried with it a huge wave of air that was like a ripple as it charged towards all directions. It also caused the military commanders standing behind Fang Zhengzhi to instinctively take a step back.
"They really started fighting?"
"What is Fang Zhengzhi trying to do? Don't tell me he really wants to kill all of these scholars? "
"Killing one is already unavoidable. If he kills all of them. What would happen then? "
"General Fang, Sword Envoy Fang, please stop. Let's talk this out, we are all on the same side!"
One by one, the military commanders really didn't want to see such a massacre. Because, it was really too meaningless. Now was the time when the enemy was right in front of them. Causing internal strife was evidently a taboo for the military.
The first thing the military commanders chose to do was naturally to mediate.
After all, in their eyes, no matter how they looked at the current situation, Fang Zhengzhi had the upper hand. There was the Sun Shooting Bow and five hundred Silver Horned Wolves. How could a few scholars really hurt Fang Zhengzhi?
Then …
They temporarily didn't need to attack immediately.
This was what they thought. However, this thought was very quickly changed by the scene that happened in reality. Because, when the Million Sword Illustration collided with the sword of one of the scholars.
A completely unexpected ending suddenly appeared.
The scholar was clearly injured. Furthermore, his injuries seemed to be extremely serious. However, he didn't retreat. Instead, he continued to thrust his sword towards Fang Zhengzhi.
At this moment, the faces of the other three scholars were also filled with determination.
Even with Teng Shisheng and a few Silver Horned Wolves blocking in front of Fang Zhengzhi, they still charged towards him without a care in the world. It seemed as if they wouldn't stop until Fang Zhengzhi fell off his horse.
What hatred, what grievances?!
After all, the person Fang Zhengzhi was shooting was Wu Feng!
What kind of madness were these people going through?
Initially, in the hearts of the military commanders, they would fight. However, they definitely wouldn't fight with their lives on the line. After all, it was a crime for Fang Zhengzhi to kill a scholar. It was also a crime for a scholar to kill Fang Zhengzhi.
This was the same logic.
However, the current situation clearly didn't conform to this logic.
"Quick, stop!"
"We are all examinees of the same batch. Even if you are guilty, you should be punished by the Ministry of Law. You must not fight with your lives on the line!"
A few of the military commanders instantly reminded these overly rash scholars, attempting to get them to stop fighting. However, it didn't seem to be of any use.
The movements of the four scholars didn't slow down at all.
Instead, they sped up once again.
Right at this moment, another two scholars charged out. However, what was different from the four scholars at the front was that the stance of these two scholars seemed to be slightly slanted.
They were actually trying to stop the fight!
"Young Master Qin, Young Master Wang, don't kill him. It's fine as long as Fang Zhengzhi obediently gives up."
"That's right, Fang Zhengzhi, you have already committed a huge crime. You must not increase the number of killings. Let's all stop first and discuss how to resolve this."
As the two scholars chased after the four scholars, they tried to persuade them to give up.
Fang Zhengzhi ignored the advice of the two people. He didn't even look at the two of them. Instead, he silently pulled the Sun Shooting Crescent into a full moon.
"With me, Teng Shisheng, here, don't even think about passing through!"
"Kill!"
Under Teng Shisheng's lead, a group of Silver Horned Wolves stepped out one by one and blocked in front of Fang Zhengzhi. Instantly, they formed a line of three.
However, the space within the wind valley was really limited.
Furthermore, the bodies of the Silver Horned Wolves were too wide. Hence, the width that could normally accommodate ten people could only accommodate six people in a real battle.
Six Silver Horned Wolves blocking four crazy scholars was still somewhat strenuous. Hence, under the continuous and ferocious attacks of the four scholars, the six Silver Horned Wolves continuously retreated.
As for the other Silver Horned Wolves standing at the back, they could only wait for the Silver Horned Wolves in front to fall before they could replace the positions in front.
It was different from the battle of surrounding Chen Feiyu and Wu Feng in the Thunderous Lion Settlement.
This battle was a street battle!
Hence, the advantage of being surrounded by the Silver Horned Wolves naturally couldn't be fully utilized like in the Thunderous Lion Settlement. They could only bitterly hold on.
This seemed to be a civil war.
Furthermore, it was an extremely intense civil war.
The reason why they were drawn in.
It was because Fang Zhengzhi inexplicably shot an arrow towards Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu. The result was somewhat laughable. Chen Feiyu and Wu Feng didn't find trouble with Fang Zhengzhi.
However, the other scholars couldn't bear to watch any longer and directly fought with Fang Zhengzhi with their lives.
This was somewhat illogical.
However, it had truly happened.
"Indeed!" Fang Zhengzhi gazed at the four crazy scholars. The edges of his mouth curved into a smile as he released the bowstring in his hand once again.
"Woosh!"
