Ever since he met Wu Yuer the last time, Fang Zhengzhi had found out about Yun Qingwu's other identity from her …
The young master of the demons!
Even though Fang Zhengzhi was slightly shocked by Yun Qingwu's identity, he knew that Wu Yuer had no reason to lie to him.
Hence, it was easy for him to find out.
Everything that happened in the Southern Mountain Range naturally had something to do with Yun Qingwu, especially when it involved the demons.
The four scholars in front of him were demons.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't need to purposely reveal their identities. Because, when Fang Zhengzhi broke Nangong Hao's formation, one of the scholars had already attacked Chen Feiyu.
What was Chen Feiyu's identity?
Hua Fei's brother, the Emperor's brother-in-law, the direct descendant of the thirteen constabularies.
If Fang Zhengzhi knew about this, then, the other scholars definitely knew about this. Hence, would someone attack someone like Chen Feiyu?
Yes.
For example, Fang Zhengzhi had used a sneak attack on Chen Feiyu.
However, that was to take down the Thunderous Lion Settlement. Now, Chen Feiyu had already been eliminated. It could be said that he had no value. At this moment, attacking Chen Feiyu...
There was only one possibility.
That was, the other party was a demon!
Fang Zhengzhi deduced this, but he didn't know the true power of the other party. He thought that everything was under his control, but in reality, he seemed to have been controlled by someone else.
This wasn't a good feeling.
However, he was extremely helpless.
Facing four demons of the Supernatural State, using the four swords as one, the power of the Rebirth State sword technique, what Fang Zhengzhi needed to do was too simple.
That was one word...
Run!
But in reality, when there was a bunch of people behind him, running was not an easy thing to do. However, this was evidently not a problem for Fang Zhengzhi.
With a flip, he "fell" from the back of the horse.
One had to constantly pay attention to one's image, but, one must not be bothered by the word "image". At some special times, falling off the horse was actually not a bad thing.
The four demons were evidently somewhat surprised by Fang Zhengzhi's "decisiveness". After all, Fang Zhengzhi's reputation was on par with Nangong Hao in the Court Theory Examinations.
Such a genius.
When he was attacked, he didn't even think of fighting back and immediately ran away. Furthermore, his escape was so 'logical'.
It was impossible for the four devils to not be surprised at all.
However, they quickly recalled Bai Xing's evaluation of Fang Zhengzhi. He was an unexpected person.
Alright …
It was indeed very unexpected.
Breaking through the wind valley of the Icy Monkey Settlement, breaking through Nangong Hao's formation, and even seeing through their disguises. Every single one of these things represented Fang Zhengzhi's talent.
But now, in the face of danger, this person with unparalleled talent could hide under the horse's belly without hesitation and disregard his image.
What a 'surprise'.
"Kill!" The four demons finally stopped pretending.
Because, there was no longer a need. The mission they received was to kill as many of the candidates as possible, then, use this to incite hatred between the Great Xia and the Southern Mountain Range.
After all, the participating scholars this time had too many "identities".
Relatives of the Emperor, disciples of the thirteen constabularies, prestigious families. When these people died in a foreign land and were buried in the mountains of the Southern Mountain Range, the Great Xia and the Southern Mountain Range would still be as close as before.
Evidently, this wasn't very possible.
However, other than this mission, there was an even more important mission. That was, if they could kill either Fang Zhengzhi or Nangong Hao, they wouldn't mind giving up all the other candidates.
The four demons didn't know why such an order was given.
However, this order was personally given by Bai Xing. Hence, all they had to do was to carry it out.
Initially, their plan was naturally to focus on Fang Zhengzhi. However, Fang Zhengzhi was always surrounded by five hundred Silver Horned Wolves. It was too difficult to attack Fang Zhengzhi.
Hence …
After seeing that the wind valley was broken, they changed their plan.
They followed Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu into the wind valley and attempted to attack both Wu Feng and Nangong Hao at the same time when Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu led their troops to attack Nangong Hao.
However, in the end, they were unfortunately trapped in Nangong Hao's formation.
Initially, just as they thought that they were doomed, a lucky thing happened once again. Fang Zhengzhi actually broke the formation. Furthermore, he gave them an extremely chaotic situation.
This kind of opportunity could be said to be a gift from the heavens.
Furthermore, they indeed couldn't wait any longer.
After all, Fang Zhengzhi would be able to leave the wind valley after a while. At that time, the five hundred Silver Horned Wolves would be by his side, and they would be facing Nangong Hao directly.
They simply wouldn't have another chance.
Hence …
The disguised demons naturally acted decisively.
What happened next was just like what everyone saw. Even though Fang Zhengzhi had seen through their identities, he didn't openly say it out.
Hence, he gave them the opportunity to "kill with a borrowed knife".
Even though this reason sounded a little far-fetched, the result still achieved their desired goal. The numerous military commanders did not attack immediately.
This was enough.
Within the wind valley, no one could stop them.
And now, when they broke through the protection of the Silver Horned Wolves and arrived in front of Fang Zhengzhi, they were filled with confidence. Even if Fang Zhengzhi hid under the belly of a horse, he still wouldn't be able to avoid this sword.
After all, splitting a horse and a person apart with one sword wasn't a difficult task at all.
Furthermore …
Most importantly, with their strength, it would not be too difficult for them to leave safely after completing the assassination mission.
"Die!"
Following the roar of the four demons.
A ray of silvery-white light flew out from the tip of their swords and slashed towards Fang Zhengzhi in a straight line. Its speed was extremely fast, and it emanated a chilling aura.
"Quick, protect Guard Fang!" When Teng Shisheng saw this ray of light, his expression evidently changed. His mission naturally wasn't to protect Fang Zhengzhi.
However, he also couldn't let Fang Zhengzhi die now!
At this moment, the few Silver Horned Wolves also widened their eyes. The ray of silver light in front of them was very thin. However, the power contained within it caused them to feel a fear that came from the depths of their hearts.
The warriors of the Southern Mountain Range were human, and they too had moments of fear.
However, they could turn this fear into a belief, a belief that fused with the mountain rocks. This belief could allow them to complete a certain order.
And charge to their deaths!
Hence, when Teng Shisheng finished his sentence, the few Silver Horned Wolves that were originally standing behind Fang Zhengzhi leapt into the air and actually used their bodies to block in front of that ray of silver light.
Initially, because of the Silver Horned Wolves behind him, Fang Zhengzhi wasn't able to immediately turn around and run. However, when the few Silver Horned Wolves leapt up, this reason seemed to no longer exist.
Behind him, there were a few empty spots.
These few spots allowed him to easily run a few steps backwards. Even though he didn't know if he could avoid this ray of silver light, but the chances of him dodging it would be slightly higher.
However, Fang Zhengzhi didn't do this.
It could even be said that when those few spots appeared in front of his eyes, he didn't even think about it, and didn't even hesitate for a moment.
Fang Zhengzhi believed that being shameless was a virtue.
However, this didn't mean that he could safely hide behind someone else's back and watch as others used their bodies to block the ray of silver light that should have struck him.
Even if these people were Silver Horned Wolves that he hadn't interacted with for too long.
In an instant, Fang Zhengzhi pressed his hand on his chest. There was a silver Heart Protection Mirror there, and within the Heart Protection Mirror, there was a sword.
This sword's name was Traceless!
Fang Zhengzhi didn't know if the Traceless Sword could block this ray of silver light, but, this was indeed the only hope he could think of.
After all, this sword had once blocked a fatal blow from General Tai!
"Ding dong!"
Right at this moment, an extremely melodious sound suddenly rang out. The sound wasn't loud, but, it seemed to possess an incomparably terrifying penetrative power.
"Boom!"
A loud sound rang out.
The silver ray of light seemed to have been struck by something from the side, and actually trembled slightly. It didn't disappear, but, its power evidently weakened slightly.
At the same time, Teng Shisheng's fist arrived once again.
A green glow appeared on Teng Shisheng's skin. His fist once again landed on the silver ray of light, causing the silver ray of light to tremble once again.
It was actually forcefully deflected to one side.
Teng Shisheng knew how the Silver Horned Wolves behind him would protect Fang Zhengzhi. However, knowing was one thing. It was impossible for him to bear to watch as this happened.
Hence, he naturally used his full strength in this punch.
Even if he couldn't completely block it, being able to deflect it by a little was enough to save his life.
"Woosh!"
The silver ray of light finally landed.
Two tragic cries rang out at the same time. One of them was from the horse that Fang Zhengzhi was originally riding on. It wasn't a superb horse, but, it was still a superior horse.
However, at this moment, one of the front legs of that horse was directly cut into two by the silver ray of light.
The other sound naturally came from a Silver Horned Wolf that was leaping in mid-air. It also had its front legs, but both of its front legs were cut off and thrown into the air.
Fresh blood …
Gushed out like a fountain.
This wasn't the end. After the silver ray of light cut a horse and a beast, it didn't show any signs of disappearing. Instead, it continued to fly towards the front.
This also caused the few Silver Horned Wolves that were originally standing behind Fang Zhengzhi to let out a series of tragic cries.
However, these cries only came after the two tragic cries.
One sword!
After enduring the collision of the music and Teng Shisheng's full force punch, it still managed to injure a total of five to six Silver Horned Wolves.
From this, one could see the power of this sword.
Fang Zhengzhi's hand continued to press on his chest. Because, he saw that the sword had deviated. Hence, he naturally didn't pull out the Traceless Sword immediately.
After all, he didn't dare to be a hundred percent sure that the Traceless Sword would definitely be able to block the previous sword.
"Stop them!"
"They aren't humans, they are demons!"
"Protect the scholars, we mustn't let the demons have their way!"
Just as Fang Zhengzhi was about to shout out that these guys were demons, a series of loud shouts rang out beside his ear.
This caused him to be somewhat surprised.
What was going on?
Whose reaction was so fast?
Just as he thought about this, he finally saw a figure not too far away.
That was a youth wearing an intricate jade-green armour. One of his hands held a jade flute to his lips, while the other hand held a human skin mask.
Under his feet, the "Young Master Li", who had already concealed himself for a while, was revealing his true face. On his forehead, there was a sparkling demonic eye that was emitting light.
At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi recalled the melodious and extremely penetrating sound. If he didn't guess wrongly, that sound should have come from the jade flute in Wu Feng's hands.
So …
The Dao of Music was so powerful?
When Fang Zhengzhi captured Wu Feng, he naturally didn't give him the chance to use the Dao of Music. Furthermore, he didn't even leave the jade flute for him.
Hence, even though he knew that Wu Feng's abilities were not bad.
However, he had never truly seen Wu Feng use the Dao of Music.
This could be considered as the first time he had seen it.
Furthermore, this caused him to be slightly surprised. Even though the power of the Dao of Music didn't seem to be extremely powerful, but, it had an obvious advantage.
That was, it was extremely fast!
Furthermore, other than being extremely fast, the position it appeared in was also indescribably strange. It was actually able to accurately blast the sound onto a silver ray of light from such a long distance away.
This kind of unpredictability and accuracy.
It was indeed not something that an ordinary Dao of All Creation could compare to.
Wu Feng!
The scholar ranked third on the Rising Dragon Roll, the disciple of one of the four sages. His abilities were indeed somewhat worth looking forward to. Would he be able to defend against the attack of the Dao of Music?
After thinking about it, Fang Zhengzhi felt that he only had a fifty percent chance of doing so.
As such, he very quickly changed his way of thinking. If he really had the chance to fight against Wu Feng, he would first steal the jade flute from his hands. Or, he would not give him the chance to play the jade flute.
This way, his chances would be eighty percent!
A perfect plan.
Of course, Fang Zhengzhi didn't need to think about where the sound came from. Because, when Wu Feng took off the human skin mask of "Young Master Li", the truth had already surfaced.
Moreover, the four people's extremely ruthless swords had completely exposed their intentions.
"Quick, take them down!" At this moment, the soldiers in the lead simply didn't need to wait for Fang Zhengzhi's orders. They immediately attacked. Furthermore, at the same time, the soldiers behind them all pulled back the bowstrings in their hands.
When the four demons saw this scene, their expressions seemed somewhat pained. After all, the consequences of using that attack just now were somewhat severe.
