The sky had already darkened, and the sun had completely set.
A speck of starlight shone from the horizon. It was the first star before the arrival of the night. It brought with it the warmth of the setting sun, lighting up the first lamp for the arrival of the night.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chi Guyan and recalled what she had just said.
"I have to save him!"
It was a simple sentence, but it caused Fang Zhengzhi's expression to freeze. He had clearly heard the conversation between Chi Guyan and Ping Yang.
Canyang!
The half sage demon!
Fang Zhengzhi wasn't sure how powerful the Half Sage of the Demon Race was, but he could imagine how powerful the Half Sage of the Demon Race would be.
It was obvious.
Chi Guyan was well aware of Canyang's abilities, but she still charged forward. In fact, she chose to persevere even after being knocked back by a single blow.
Why?
Fang Zhengzhi didn't understand.
He wanted to find the reason from Chi Guyan's eyes, but he suddenly had an illusion. At this moment, Chi Guyan's eyes seemed to have lit up a star.
It was a star that was exactly the same as the one that had risen in the sky.
Was he hallucinating?
Fang Zhengzhi blinked. When he opened his eyes again, he realized that the stars in her eyes had disappeared. The cold wind blew, and her pink dress danced in the wind, making a soft sound.
Ping Yang was also looking at Chi Guyan. Her clear eyes were filled with worry.
"Save him? But this blind man is a Semi-Sage. Moreover, he's an old Semi-Sage. I heard that he became a Semi-Sage 10 years ago. Even Big Sister Yan can't defeat him, right? "Ping Yang didn't seem to understand what was going on.
"Mm, I know." Chi Guyan nodded her head and raised her hand to touch Ping Yang's long black hair that fell on her shoulder.
"Then Sister Yan, you..."
"But, I have to save him. Doesn't Ping Yang want me to save him?" Chi Guyan shook her head gently and smiled.
At this moment, it was as if the flowers of the golden age had finally bloomed. The light of the entire world dimmed, as if the brilliance of the entire world had been covered.
Chi Guyan.
The pride of the Divine Constabulary. Even the current Emperor had to treat her with respect. She was hailed by everyone as the inheritor of the Heavenly Prophecy. She was the Double Dragon Roll Champion.
Be it strength or appearance, they were both unparalleled.
It was predictable.
Ten years later, no one in the world would be able to suppress her brilliance.
But now …
She stood outside the gates of the Iron Hill Settlement and said to Canyang, "I want to save him!" Moreover, he said it so calmly and firmly.
Ping Yang looked at Chi Guyan in front of her, then at Fang Zhengzhi in the distance. A complicated look flashed across her eyes, but she still nodded in the end.
"Yes, we must save him!"
…
Chi Guyan did not know if it was because her expression was too childish, or because she was biting her lips so tightly that it looked a little comical, but Chi Guyan laughed.
His smile was extremely doting, but it was also a little wanton.
The bright flower had finally bloomed completely. It stood on the bloody battlefield with its peerless beauty, proudly looking down on everything on the battlefield.
In the next moment, Chi Guyan moved.
Like the twinkling stars in the sky, they rose, disappeared, and then turned into streams of light that filled the sky. That was the most brilliant meteor light in the sky.
Countless rays of silver light rained down from the sky.
They were raindrops.
They were also sword radiance.
The night sky was completely lit up. The silver light covered the ground, enveloping Yun Qingwu and Canyang in an instant.
At that moment, Canyang did not move at all.
He just raised his head slightly and "looked" at the silver light that shrouded him. He just looked at it quietly, and there seemed to be a whirlpool spinning in his abyss-like eyes.
The silver light smashed into the ground, creating a huge crater beneath Canyang's feet.
"The Xuan Heavenly Dao Body is indeed extraordinary!" Canyang's voice rang out. It was just as weak and frail, but for the first time, there was a hint of surprise in it.
"I knew that she would come to save you, but I never expected her to actually do so." Yun Qingwu looked at the stars around her, her lips moving slightly, almost as if she was muttering to herself.
This was a very contradictory statement.
However, Fang Zhengzhi understood. He also understood why Yun Qingwu had kept him alive until now.
"So, I was actually a chess piece …" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the brilliant silver light in the sky and suddenly felt a little frustrated.
He hoped that the silver light would envelop him.
However, it was clear that...
The silver light avoided him, almost as if it had eyes of its own.
Fang Zhengzhi knew that Chi Guyan was doing this on purpose. He also knew that by controlling the Million Sword Illustration, Chi Guyan would not be able to unleash her full power.
"Not just a chess piece, but also a burden?" Fang Zhengzhi rarely craved power as much as he did now.
All this while, he had always wanted to live a carefree and happy life.
Fight?
If he could avoid fighting, he would not hesitate to use his intelligence. However, today was the first time he had encountered a problem.
In the face of absolute power...
The intelligence of everything...
Was just a child's slingshot. It looked like a decent weapon, but in reality, it was not threatening at all.
Using hidden weapons?
How was he going to use them if he could not move?
Schemes? Traps?
In front of a person like Yun Qingwu, the so-called schemes and traps would not work.
Could it be that there was really no other way?
Could it be...
That he could only wait for Chi Guyan to risk her life to save him?
Fang Zhengzhi instinctively wanted to clench his fists, but he realized that he could not even do so. It was as if his body was stuck in a gigantic block of ice.
It was not as cold as the ice, but he could not move his body at all.
Waiting for death!
Was he really going to wait for death?
No, I have to f * cking live. I'm not f * cking married!
"Open!" Fang Zhengzhi bellowed. At the same time, his face turned slightly red. It was a redness that came from using all his strength to suppress it.
He wanted to break free from this restraint. He was not willing to wait for death on the spot!
Death was not scary!
However, no man would want to die in such a humiliating manner.
"Open, open up now!" The only thing that Fang Zhengzhi could move now was his mouth. Perhaps it was because of Yun Qingwu's grace that Yun Qingwu wanted Fang Zhengzhi to speak.
He could not clench his fists.
He could not move his legs either.
All of his efforts were in vain. Even though Fang Zhengzhi had used all of his strength, his body did not move at all.
This reminded Fang Zhengzhi of the story "Journey to the West". At that time, Sun Wukong was pinned under the Five Finger Mountain. Was this how it felt?
The difference was that Sun Wukong had a mountain on his back, but Fang Zhengzhi did not even have a single strand of hair on his body.
What kind of 'Dao' was this?!
"Open again!" Fang Zhengzhi knew that Canyang was a half sage, but he did not know that Canyang had mastered the Heavenly Rebirth Dao. As such, his only option was to break the 'Dao'.
"Boom!"
A wave of energy surged from Fang Zhengzhi's body.
It was a huge wave of air produced by the eruption of origin energy. Not long ago, he had used this move to fight against Nangong Hao for almost an hour.
And now...
He was prepared to use this technique to break free.
The deafening sound shook the entire battlefield. The surging airwaves spread out in all directions like ripples on water.
The shockwaves caused Yun Qingwu's dress and Canyang's black cloak to flutter.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was still rooted to the ground.
He did not move.
However, the commotion attracted everyone's attention, especially the Demon soldiers who were fighting on the battlefield.
"Don't tell me this kid is trying to break free himself?"
"Haha... he is going up against the heavens with his own strength!"
"I don't know what this kid is thinking. Apart from waiting for death, he's just wasting his energy."
"I think he is indignant? But what's the point? No matter how much strength he exerts, with his strength, it's just a kick before he dies. Let him struggle! "
Voices could be heard from the Demon soldiers waiting at the back. All of them had mocking looks in their eyes. They obviously knew Fang Zhengzhi's situation.
Because they knew...
They finally understood how laughable Fang Zhengzhi's actions were.
The Dragon Protection Squad and Mountain Breaking Army turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi. However, when they saw the shockwaves, they felt a sense of helplessness.
Xing Qingsui clenched his fists. He wanted to save Fang Zhengzhi, but he knew that it was futile. It was not a wise move.
Xing Yuanguo's eyes shone as well. He looked as if he was blaming himself.
As for Nangong Hao...
He was looking at the torrential rain of silver light. His lips moved slightly, almost as if he was muttering to himself. However, no sound came out.
"Third Brother, he came to the Iron Hill Settlement for the Southern Region. I have to save him!" Princess Shan Yu could not bear to see Fang Zhengzhi go.
"Save? How?! Sister, don't be silly. He is trapped by Canyang and is as good as dead. Even Xing Yuanguo can only watch from the sidelines. You will die if you go! "Shan Ling replied without hesitation.
"But, Chi Guyan is already... furthermore, you have to do it before you can..."
"Shut up, sister. Don't forget who you are!"
"Third Brother!"
"Say no more. As the commander, I order you to go to the Iron Hill Settlement and lead the battle. You must stop the Demons from reaching the front gate!"
"Third Brother, you..."
"Don't call me Third Brother. I am the commander of the Southern Region now. Are you going to disobey me?"
"I wouldn't dare!" Princess Shan Yu's expression changed. She gritted her teeth. She wanted to stay, but she was a soldier. A soldier's duty was to obey.
Even if the person in front of her was her Third Brother.
"Go, don't blame me. You know what I mean. Are you really going to watch our warriors die just to save an outsider?" Shan Ling looked at Princess Shan Yu.
Princess Shan Yu did not speak. She looked at Fang Zhengzhi, then turned and walked towards the gates of the Iron Hill Settlement.
Just as Shan Ling had said, the Iron Hill Settlement was in dire straits now that the back gate had been breached.
If she didn't go...
In that case, what about the warriors of the Southern Region who were fighting the Demon soldiers with their lives?
She was the princess of the Southern Region.
She had a duty as a princess.
Even though she knew that it was impossible for the Iron Hill Settlement to fight back, she could not give up.
Protecting the Iron Hill Settlement was their only and last hope.
Even though...
This was an impossible task.
"Open again, open again, open again …" Fang Zhengzhi was clearly a little crazy at this moment. As he shouted, waves of air rushed out of his body.
The explosions rocked the entire battlefield.
Yun Qingwu's gaze finally shifted from the silver radiance to Fang Zhengzhi. She seemed to be slightly shocked and surprised.
"Actually, if you really don't want to die, I … can spare your life." Yun Qingwu looked at Fang Zhengzhi and said softly when she felt the madness in his eyes.
"Spare my life?"
"Yes."
"The condition is that I will restrict your pocket dimension. This means that you will never be able to cultivate again. Furthermore, you will have to stay in the Blood Shadow City. Didn't you want to live the life of an ordinary person? I can let you live a carefree life. If you want... women, I can let you marry a Demon woman... "
"Do you think I will agree?"
"No, but you don't have a second choice right now. Struggling … is meaningless, because this is the Heavenly Way. Only those who understand the Heavenly Way can break free from its shackles. Not to mention you, even she, who has the Xuan Heavenly Body, can't do it!"
Yun Qingwu pointed at the dazzling silver light in the sky as she spoke. Her voice was calm and sincere.
"Heavenly Dao?" Fang Zhengzhi's expression froze.
He knew what the Heavenly Dao was. It was the most powerful of the Six Rebirth Daos. It was the Dao closest to the Heavens.
"Yes, the Heavenly Dao! Even among the demons, only my master has mastered the Heavenly Rebirth Dao. If you didn't come to the Southern Region, you might be able to master it one day. But now … you can't! "Yun Qingwu's tone wasn't sarcastic, but it was full of certainty.
However, Fang Zhengzhi acted as if he did not hear what Yun Qingwu said. "Heavenly Dao … Only those who understand the Heavenly Dao can break free? I understand. If that's the case, I will break the heavens! "
