Fang Zhengzhi had always been curious about the Cloud Pattern. Now that he had a chance to take a closer look, he was not going to let it go.
Of course, he could also join forces with Princess Shan Yu to beat the crap out of these six soldiers.
However, that would be disrespectful to Princess Shan Yu.
After all, if Fang Zhengzhi had to deal with a few soldiers, then Princess Shan Yu would not have such high authority in the Southern Region Army.
There was another reason why Fang Zhengzhi did not attack immediately.
It was simple. They could either fight two against six from the start, or hide at the side and launch a sneak attack when they thought it was six against one.
The latter had a higher chance of winning.
It would increase their chances of winning, respect Princess Shan Yu, and satisfy his curiosity about the Cloud Pattern. Fang Zhengzhi felt that even an idiot would choose to watch the battle.
Princess Shan Yu's voice rang out.
The six guards gripped their black spears so tightly that their knuckles turned white. As the elite guards of the Southern Region Palace, they were all at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Reflection State.
One of them had even reached the Supernatural State. However, even so, they did not dare to be careless when facing Princess Shan Yu.
They did not speak.
Because they knew that no matter what they said at this time, it would be useless.
All they had to do was do their best to guard the gates. They had to follow the orders of the Crown Prince and not let anyone in!
"Whoosh!"
There was a flash of red light.
Princess Shan Yu made her move as well. She pulled out two daggers from her thighs and held them in a reverse grip. They were like the fangs of a wild beast as they sliced towards the throat of the frontmost soldier.
Fang Zhengzhi had experienced the sharpness of these daggers before.
He clearly knew that these two daggers were not only sharp, but they also contained a faint scorching aura. The material they were made of should not be ordinary.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound rang out as the black spear and dagger clashed. From their postures, it seemed like the soldier was trying his best to hold the black spear horizontally above his chest to defend against Princess Shan Yu's attack.
The muscles on his arms bulged at this moment.
Pieces of scales could be seen on his skin. It was clear that it was not easy for him to block Princess Shan Yu's attack.
But in the end, he managed to block it.
That was what Fang Zhengzhi thought.
However, this thought was quickly overturned.
This was because, after Princess Shan Yu's dagger collided with the black spear, it didn't seem to have any intention of withdrawing. Instead, it continued to pierce forward.
Kacha!
At this moment, the black spear broke in half, as easily as a piece of tofu being cut by a knife. Then, an arrow of blood shot out.
It was an arrow of blood caused by the dagger cutting through his chest.
Princess Shan Yu's dagger was aimed at the throat of the soldier. Even though the soldier tried to block, Fang Zhengzhi was sure that Princess Shan Yu would not miss.
But she still missed.
Then, Princess Shan Yu raised her arm like an eagle.
And then …
It was a close shave.
Princess Shan Yu spun on the ground. Her arms and the daggers in her hands were like a high-speed cutting machine as she charged into the middle of the six soldiers.
She was fighting six people at once, and yet she still dared to force her way into their midst?
Fang Zhengzhi felt that this method of fighting was a little crazy.
More importantly, the six soldiers were not weak. Even though Princess Shan Yu was wielding a dagger that could cut through metal, she should not have been able to force them back.
But in reality …
The result was different from what Fang Zhengzhi had expected.
The power of the six royal guards was on full display. Blue veins popped on their arms. They didn't even need to feel it. Just the sound of the wind was enough to tell how powerful they were.
However, when Princess Shan Yu's arm collided with the power of the soldiers, something strange happened. It felt like there was some kind of attraction.
Or rather, it felt like a rhythm.
An inexplicable rhythm.
Fang Zhengzhi did not know what this rhythm was, nor did he know where it was coming from. However, he could clearly see that Princess Shan Yu's arms were moving up and down, bending and straightening as they collided with the Royal City Guards...
It felt as though every move of the Royal City Army was under her control.
"Kacha, kacha!"
The sound of a black spear breaking could be heard. Arrows of blood flew out of the chests of the soldiers. In that short moment of contact, the six soldiers all moved aside to make a path.
Or rather, they did not.
They were cut open by Princess Shan Yu.
Fang Zhengzhi's eyes widened. He felt that Princess Shan Yu's forceful intrusion was a little crazy. However, in reality, the consequences of this crazy action were unbelievable.
Initially, he had been guessing how long this battle would last. After all, no matter what, the other party had the right to guard the gates of the Southern Region's Royal City.
They should be quite powerful.
But in reality …
The battle had ended faster than Fang Zhengzhi had expected.
Much faster than he had expected.
Spinning Top Technique?
A strange thought popped up in Fang Zhengzhi's mind, but he quickly suppressed it.
That was because the rotation just now was definitely not something that could be achieved simply by the coordination of the arms and the body. It was a special rhythm.
A rhythm that Fang Zhengzhi had never seen before.
"So powerful!" Fang Zhengzhi instinctively thought of these two words. All along, he had only heard from the Southern Mountain Range soldiers and Teng Shisheng that the reason Princess Shan Yu was able to become the commander of an army wasn't purely because of her status.
She was powerful.
In the past, he did not understand.
But now, he seemed to understand.
Princess Shan Yu had shown mercy to the six soldiers. If not, the blood would have shot out from their throats instead of their chests.
In other words …
Princess Shan Yu had the ability to take care of these six soldiers in an instant.
Was this Princess Shan Yu's power?
Fang Zhengzhi had always guessed that Princess Shan Yu's power had something to do with the red cloud patterns on her body. However, it seemed like that was not the case.
Nangong Hao was powerful.
His power came from his understanding of Dao and his state of mind.
Princess Shan Yu's power was different from Nangong Hao's …
Her strength came from actual combat. It was the result of years of walking on the edge of a blade, battling the warriors of the Southern Domain, and engaging in close combat with wild beasts. That was how she had become powerful.
Rhythm?
A woman who could control the rhythm of the battlefield, coupled with her fast reflexes and flexible body, as well as her strange fighting style …
Powerful.
So powerful that it made one's heart tremble.
Fang Zhengzhi knew that he had already reached the Supernatural State. However, he had a feeling that if he were to fight against someone like Princess Shan Yu, he would not be able to defeat her.
He could not let her get close to him!
Who knew if the two daggers in Princess Shan Yu's hands would suddenly slit your throat, or stab your heart, or even blind your eyes …
At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi had the urge to take a step to the side. He felt that he should maintain some distance from Princess Shan Yu.
Even though Princess Shan Yu could not attack him right now …
As this thought flashed through his mind, Fang Zhengzhi began to understand why the generals in Princess Shan Yu's conference tent were seated far away from the main seats.
"Bang!" A dull thud jolted Fang Zhengzhi out of his thoughts.
Following that, a slightly chilly wind blew from behind Fang Zhengzhi, causing the corner of his clothes to flutter, making a soft sound.
The door swung open.
Furthermore, he was kicked away by Princess Shan Yu in an incomparably violent manner.
From the moment Princess Shan Yu attacked, to the moment the six soldiers were forced to the side, to the moment the door was kicked open, everything had happened smoothly.
It was so fast that it was shocking.
Fang Zhengzhi did not attack. He did not even have the chance to.
The six soldiers instinctively took a step forward. They wanted to stop Princess Shan Yu, but it was too late.
Because …
Princess Shan Yu had already charged through the door.
The six Royal City Guards paled, partly because of the blood loss, but mostly because of fear, a fear that came from the bottom of their hearts.
Blood spurted from their chests, but they still gritted their teeth and picked up the broken black spears in their hands, desperately trying to stop the red figure that had already rushed into the gate.
After all, this was their mission.
However, it was a pity that they would not be able to complete their mission.
Just as they were about to enter the door, a figure appeared in the middle of them.
"Excuse me, please excuse me!" It was a very humble and courteous voice. However, at the same time, a huge force came crashing towards them.
This was a state of suppression.
It was almost as if a powerful being was in control of the surrounding space, preventing anyone from entering.
The six soldiers didn't even know what was going on before they were forced out of the door by this force. It felt like six rubber balls had been bounced off their bodies.
"Dong!" The door slammed shut.
