"Returning Dragon?" The middle-aged man murmured to himself. Fang Zhengzhi's attack just now gave him a sense of pride. It was as if he was at the top of the world.
But...
Why was such a proud attack called the Returning Dragon?
Turning back?
Was it because he couldn't bear to leave? Or was it because of his attachment?
The middle-aged man did not understand, but he did not think too much about it.
Wu Ji, the other candidates, the dozens of demon elites, the members of the Dragon Protection Squad, and...
Almost everyone present did not understand why this move was called 'Dragon Returning Head'.
However, they did not think too much about it. Their attention was drawn to a ravine, a ravine so deep that they could not see the bottom.
The ravine was beneath the middle-aged man's feet.
As such, this ravine could not have been created by the middle-aged man. It must have been created by Fang Zhengzhi's attack. That one attack had created a ravine that was 50 feet long.
How ridiculous was that?
What was even more ridiculous was that Fang Zhengzhi's opponent was a demon in the Rebirth State.
"Returning Dragon?!"
The dozens of demon elites looked at each other. They had never heard of a sword move in this world called: Dragon Returning Head!
This Returning Dragon could allow a Heavenly Reflection State cultivator to fight against a Rebirth State demon!
Was it because of the technique?
Or...
Was it because of the human!
Almost everyone was thinking about this question. If it was the former, how powerful was the technique? If it was the latter...
Why did such a person exist in this world?
Could such a person still be described as a genius?
No!
He was a demon!
Nangong Hao's sword stopped in its tracks. He tilted his head slightly, allowing the rain to wash over his face. He did not think about why this technique was called the Returning Dragon. He was trying to remember what he had just done.
The silver light around Bai Xing's fingers disappeared. He looked at Yun Qingwu, who was standing on the cliff.
And so, he also saw a trace of joy in the veil that tightly clung to her face.
Why was it joy?
Bai Xing did not understand. However, he knew that if he let this person live, then in 10 years, 20 years, 30 years...
Could the demons survive?
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old human was already able to fight against a Rebirth State Demon. Even if it was just a single strike, this human could not be allowed to live.
Furthermore, there were an unprecedented 388 types of Dao in this small human world.
"At all costs!" This time, Bai Xing did not wait for Yun Qingwu's orders. This was not because he doubted Yun Qingwu's decision.
Instead …
No matter what decision Yun Qingwu made, he had to do it for the Demon Race.
The middle-aged man's expression froze. He knew what Bai Xing meant because he had the same thoughts as Bai Xing.
"Ah!" An extremely painful voice rang out at this moment.
Immediately afterwards, the entire space seemed to tremble. It was an extremely terrifying energy. It was as if the energy that had been accumulated for decades, or even centuries, had completely erupted.
The extremely penetrating voice and the huge tremors finally brought everyone back to their senses in an instant. However, very quickly, everyone was once again shocked by the scene in front of them.
"He … he actually?!"
"The Demon Race, he is … a Rebirth State Demon!"
All of the candidates could not believe their eyes. They knew what had happened. However, because they knew, they were in even more disbelief.
"Shi Kou, how dare you!" Ever since Yun Qingwu appeared on the cliff of Feng Su Cliff, she had not spoken a single word to a single person or demon.
However, at this moment, Yun Qingwu spoke.
Furthermore …
Her voice was filled with anger.
In contrast to Yun Qingwu's anger, the dozens of demon elites, as well as Bai Xing and Wu Ji, were more shocked. However, they were also filled with respect for Fang Zhengzhi.
The middle-aged man bit his lips and his expression was extremely twisted. However, there was also a sense of relief in his expression.
He was the Shi Kou that Yun Qingwu had spoken of.
He was the Vice Domain Chief of the 10 Demon Dominions, an early Rebirth State Demon, Shi Kou.
Just like his name suggested...
In this life, he only lived by one principle: the winner takes all.
He did not know if he had lost, but he knew that when a 15 year old human, a Heavenly Reflection State human, destroyed his sword, he would never be able to return to the Demon Race.
This was a form of pride.
The only way to regain this pride was to kill this human. He had to kill him alone.
Just as Bai Xing had said, he had to do it at all costs.
The faint red demonic eyes, which represented the Rebirth State Demon Eye, turned black. It was as black as a black hole. This was the color of the demonic eyes that had been sucked dry.
At the same time, a beam of purple light shot into the sky from Shi Kou's body. It was a bright shade of purple.
...
"Not good!" Nangong Hao retracted his gaze. With his mental fortitude, there were very few things that could cause him to panic.
However, when he saw Shi Kou's completely black demonic eyes...
He could almost imagine what was going to happen next.
"Nangong Hao, you can't interfere. This is a battle that concerns Shi Kou's pride!" The starlight in Bai Xing's hand lit up once again, forming a silver screen of light in between Nangong Hao and Fang Zhengzhi.
Wu Ji's sword moved as well. He did not point it at Fang Zhengzhi. Instead, he pointed it at the Dragon Protection Squad behind him. When Shi Kou made this decision, Fang Zhengzhi was already a dead man.
As such, he did not need to point his sword at Fang Zhengzhi.
All he needed to do was...
Not let anyone interrupt this battle.
Xing Qingsui clenched his fists tightly. He knew what Shi Kou had done, but he was too far away from Fang Zhengzhi. Even if he charged at Fang Zhengzhi, he would not be able to stop him.
The gazes of the Dragon Protection Squad turned solemn at this moment.
As the elite troops under the direct control of the Emperor, they had too much pride and honor. However, when they heard about the deeds of one person time and time again, they realized that the honor that they were proud of was not worth mentioning in front of this person.
He had silently taken down the Thunderous Lion Settlement.
Then, he had personally led an army of 50,000 to the city walls.
He had single-handedly destroyed the natural barrier of the Southern Mountain Range. Then, he had saved Nangong Hao's life. He had fought with Nangong Hao, who was in the Heavenly Reflection State, and Nangong Hao, who was in the pinnacle of the Supernatural State, in front of thousands of troops.
Most importantly...
The Returning Dragon Sword actually shattered the sword in the hands of a Rebirth State Demon.
This was no longer just glory. This was a miracle in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty. It was a miracle that would be recorded in the annals of history.
As such, how could they let such a person die in front of them?
"Save Fang Zhengzhi at all costs!" A voice rang out from within the Dragon Protection Squad.
As the Dragon Protection Squad, they only obeyed the Emperor's orders. Even for this mission in the Southern Region, they only obeyed Nangong Hao's orders.
As for disobeying orders...
For the Dragon Protection Squad, this was almost impossible.
However, this time, even before Nangong Hao had spoken, they had already made their decision. They did not even hesitate.
The Dragon Protection Squad originated from the 13 Constabularies. They were of noble birth and extraordinary power. However, at this moment, they were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect Fang Zhengzhi.
...
Fang Zhengzhi felt like he was dreaming. However, he felt that this dream was becoming more and more realistic. Not only could he see everyone's expressions clearly...
Furthermore, he could hear everyone's voices clearly.
Most importantly...
There was even a Rebirth State demon who had "self-destructed" in front of him.
Of course, he had seen such a scene before.
That was in the World of the Sage. Ying Shan had lost control of his emotions due to the humiliation he had suffered. In the end, he chose to go overboard.
However, what was up with this middle-aged demon called Shi Kou?
He did not use any words to provoke him. All he did was slash him once. There was no need for him to "self-destruct" just because of a disagreement?
Hang on!
Why was his sword able to shatter the sword in the hands of a Rebirth State Demon?
Alright...
This was a dream, a dream dictated by my own thoughts.
In his dream, not to mention the Rebirth State, even if a few Sages came, he would still be able to kill them with a single swing of his sword, causing them to pee in their pants.
Fang Zhengzhi felt much more relaxed when he thought about it.
After all, he was the strongest in the dream.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yun Qingwu, who was standing quietly in the rain. He already knew that Yun Qingwu was the Young Lord of the Demons.
Therefore, it was not surprising that there were a few demons following behind Yun Qingwu in the dream.
However...
He had clearly seen Yun Qingwu's face under the veil. Why was she still acting so mysterious? Why did she have to pretend to be noble and virtuous?
Couldn't she be a little more honest in the dream?
As the saying goes, what you think about in the day, you dream about at night. Fang Zhengzhi was indeed too pure. If he was a little more dirty, Yun Qingwu might be dancing in front of thousands of soldiers right now.
"Hey, Yun Qingwu, show me a striptease!" Fang Zhengzhi was someone who did whatever he wanted. Furthermore, he was in a dream where his thoughts were the most important.
What was there that he could not say?
Therefore, he pointed his finger at Yun Qingwu, who was bathed in the purple world, and curled his lips into a smile that all men would understand.
The torrential rain became heavier and heavier, almost like a torrential downpour. The armors of the Great Xia soldiers were washed until they shone brighter, while the rattan armors of the Southern Region soldiers became heavier and heavier.
However...
Everyone could no longer hear the sound of the falling rain.
Because at this moment, a sentence kept echoing in their minds.
"Yun Qingwu, show me a striptease!"
"Striptease?!"
"You want Yung Qingwu to strip?"
Confusion flashed across the soldiers' eyes. They had never expected that the first thing Fang Zhengzhi said when he woke up was to kill them, and the second thing he said was...
Do a striptease?!
The devil elites were also completely stunned at this moment.
They had always heard from the humans that Fang Zhengzhi was an unconventional person. However, no matter how unconventional he was, what did he mean by that?
To the Demon Race, Yun Qingwu was their Young Lord. At the same time, she was a supreme being who could not be insulted.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was a human youth!
Yet, in front of the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Great Xia and the hundreds of thousands of Southern Region soldiers...
He dared to take liberties with their Young Master!
Furthermore, it was the most direct and unscrupulous way to take liberties with her?
Who could take that?
"Kill him, kill him!"
The demon elites shouted in unison. They no longer cared about how talented Fang Zhengzhi was. They only had one thought in mind, to tear him apart!
The Dragon Protection Squad, who were raising their swords, stopped abruptly.
All of them looked at Fang Zhengzhi. Just a moment ago, they were still thinking of protecting this youth, who had immense potential and limitless potential, even at the cost of their lives.
However, at this moment, their resolve wavered.
Even though Fang Zhengzhi was a shameless demon, was it really worth it for them to risk their lives for him?
Yun Qingwu was evidently stunned at this moment. She had an extremely complicated expression in her eyes, but she did not say a word.
Because...
She did not know what to say.
"Fang Zhengzhi, die!" Shi Kou's face contorted in anger. He hated himself for not attacking earlier.
He was also hating himself for waiting until Fang Zhengzhi had finished his attack before thinking of taking him down with him.
If he had made this decision from the moment he saw Fang Zhengzhi, none of this would have happened.
Fang Zhengzhi...
This arrogant human who dared to take liberties with the Young Master of the Demons.
There was only one outcome for him. Death. Even at the cost of his life, he had to die.
Shi Kou knew this.
He was not the only demon who thought the same way.
How could Fang Zhengzhi leave this place alive?
One palm...
