All eyes were on Fang Zhengzhi.
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not hear the discussions around him. Because, Ping Yang's chest was constantly rubbing against his arm …..
That soft feeling.
She had indeed grown up!
After being shaken for a while, Fang Zhengzhi sighed in his heart. Forget it, the reason why this girl hugged him at the first instance was because she felt that his cultivation had been crippled, so she took protective measures.
Just as he was about to forgive Ping Yang, he suddenly realized that Ping Yang had no intention of apologizing. Furthermore, she seemed to be asking him to fight the Monster King?
She even said that she trusted him?
"Trust your ass!" Fang Zhengzhi replied without hesitation, "Are you blind? Can't you tell that the person in front of you is the Monster King? "
"I can tell, but isn't your cultivation still intact?" Ping Yang was taken aback. She blinked her eyes and looked at Fang Zhengzhi with anticipation.
"My cultivation is not crippled, but …"
"Your cultivation is really not crippled?! Hahaha, that's great, that's great … "Ping Yang did not wait for Fang Zhengzhi to finish his sentence and immediately became excited again.
Perhaps it was because she was too excited, she subconsciously threw herself into Fang Zhengzhi's arms and kissed Fang Zhengzhi's lips.
In an instant …
Fang Zhengzhi felt a gentle and somewhat moist lips on his own.
Then, Fang Zhengzhi's eyes widened.
Not only did his eyes widen, but even Ping Yang's eyes widened. Her expression was as if she had been struck by lightning.
"F * ck!" Fang Zhengzhi felt that he was at a greater disadvantage. However, what was worse was that after Ping Yang forcefully kissed him, she actually pushed him away?
What the hell!
You were the one who initiated it!
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to curse because he knew very well who was standing around him. Emperor Lin Mubai, Hua Fei Chen Feihua, and King Liqin.
Kissing Ping Yang mouth to mouth in front of so many people?
How was Ping Yang going to get married in the future?
Was she really going to force him to marry Ping Yang? Although Ping Yang was indeed pretty and had grown up a little. From her appearance, she did look a little feminine.
However, Ping Yang clearly had nothing to do with the gentle, virtuous, three obedient and four virtuous person in his heart, right?
Fang Zhengzhi subconsciously looked towards Emperor Lin Mubai. Then, he realized that Emperor Lin Mubai's pale face was a little dazed and his eyes were fixated on Fang Zhengzhi.
"Your Majesty, this is a misunderstanding! She was the one who initiated it! "Fang Zhengzhi wanted to explain.
However, Emperor Lin Mubai had no intention of listening to Fang Zhengzhi's explanation. His eyes widened as his body trembled uncontrollably.
"This kid's cultivation was actually not destroyed? Not crippled? Why was this happening? In history, there has never been any record of cultivation after one's Dao fruit disappeared! "
"Hmm? His Majesty seems to be talking about my cultivation? " Fang Zhengzhi faintly heard Emperor Lin Mubai mumbling to himself and his heart skipped a beat.
Then, he looked around once more.
In the end, he realized that everyone's expression was one of extreme shock. Furthermore, they did not seem to have noticed what had just happened between Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang.
"Fang Zhengzhi's cultivation is really still there?! How is this possible? "King Duan was shocked and fearful. He had never thought that such a thing could happen.
King Duan, Lin Xinjue, the Dragon Protection Squad, the Royal Guards, and even the Southern Region Army had only one thought in their minds.
Fang Zhengzhi's cultivation was really still there!
Furthermore, he had personally admitted this.
"Wa!" Crown Prince Lin Tianrong spat out a mouthful of blood. He bit his lips and his body trembled. "Fang Zhengzhi, you were the one who burned my study!"
In the past, Crown Prince Lin Tianrong excluded Fang Zhengzhi because Fang Zhengzhi's cultivation had been destroyed. But now, he was certain that …
The man in black in the Crown Prince's residence that day was Fang Zhengzhi!
"Official Fang, bring Ping Yang away!" King Liqin's voice rang out, bringing everyone back to reality.
"Alright!" Fang Zhengzhi agreed without hesitation. He had already made up his mind to escape. Now that he heard King Liqin's words, there was no reason for him to hesitate.
"No, quickly go and kill that Demon King, then save Grandpa Emperor and Father Emperor!" Ping Yang's face was flushed, but she regained her composure when she heard King Liqin's words.
"I'm not going." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
"Why not?" Ping Yang was confused.
"Of course, I can't beat him!" Fang Zhengzhi really didn't want to say this out loud, but he still said it, because this was the most realistic and cruel truth.
He couldn't beat him …
How was he going to fight him?
Was he going to die?
"You can't beat him? But you were able to fight Canyang a year ago? "Ping Yang asked in shock.
"Did I beat Canyang?" Fang Zhengzhi asked exasperatedly.
"Erm..." Ping Yang was taken aback. Fang Zhengzhi had fought with Canyang once, but Fang Zhengzhi had never beaten Canyang. However, Ping Yang pouted and said, "But, it has been more than a year!"
"Yes, more than a year has passed." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
"What state are you in now? You should have broken through, right? You are in the Rebirth State, right? Are you at the pinnacle of the Rebirth State like Auntie Hua? Or are you a half sage? Oh yes, you must be a half sage, right? You are already a half sage, what are you afraid of? Even if the opponent is a Demon King, you can still fight him! "Ping Yang said expectantly.
"Did I say that I am a half sage?" Fang Zhengzhi's lips twitched.
"Isn't that a half sage? Don't tell me … you've become a Saint?! "Hearing this, Ping Yang's clear eyes shone with joy again.
"Sage!"
"Fang Zhengzhi is a sage?!"
"How is that possible? He is not even 18 years old. This has never happened in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty!"
The Dragon Protection Squad and the Royal Guards widened their eyes when they heard Ping Yang's words.
On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi was speechless. Sage? If he had really become a sage, he would not be in such a state.
"Do I look like a sage to you?" Fang Zhengzhi could not be bothered to answer Ping Yang's childish question.
"It doesn't look like it …" Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi seriously and realized that she was thinking too much. If the guy in front of her was really a Sage, he wouldn't be unable to defeat King Xieluo. "Then … even if you're only in the Rebirth State, you can still try!"
"Are you so sure that I am in the Rebirth State?" Fang Zhengzhi shrugged helplessly. He seemed to understand why Emperor Lin Mubai and the rest were so shocked when they heard that his cultivation was not crippled.
It seemed like it was not just Ping Yang.
Was it because everyone thought that he had broken through?
A year ago, when Fang Zhengzhi broke through from the Star Conglomerate State to the Heavenly Reflection State, the Great Xia Dynasty was shocked. Then, when he broke through from the Heavenly Reflection State to the Supernatural State in the Southern Region …
At that time, he could still remember the expressions on everyone's faces.
How was that possible!
How could he have broken through to the Supernatural State!
No one believed that he could continue to break through in such a short period of time.
But now …
It seemed like the tables had turned. Everyone thought that he should have broken through, but who the f * ck said that he had to break through after a year?
"You are not in the Rebirth State? Then what other state are you in? "Ping Yang was stunned once again. She could not react in time.
"The Supernatural State!" Fang Zhengzhi said matter-of-factly.
"You are in the Supernatural State?! How can you be in the Supernatural State?! " Ping Yang was really shocked this time. When she knew that Fang Zhengzhi's cultivation was not crippled, she was extremely happy.
But …
What did the Supernatural State mean?!
This guy's cultivation was not crippled, why was he still in the Supernatural State after a year? Shouldn't he be breaking through again and again?
Ping Yang was not the only one who was shocked.
When the Dragon Protection Squad and the Royal Guards heard the words "Supernatural State" from Fang Zhengzhi, they almost fell to their knees.
"Supernatural State?"
"Fang Zhengzhi is still in the Supernatural State?"
"What's going on? Didn't he reach the Supernatural State more than a year ago? Could it be that his cultivation has been stagnant for more than a year? "
"Stagnant … I understand now. Fang Zhengzhi's Fruit of Dao is gone. Even though his cultivation was not crippled, he can no longer advance in his state!"
"So that's how it is. Looks like Fang Zhengzhi is really stuck in the Supernatural State. What a pity!"
The members of the Dragon Protection Squad and the Royal Guards looked at each other and finally understood. However, when they looked at Fang Zhengzhi again, their gazes were filled with a sense of pity and strangeness.
Because they knew very well that no matter how powerful a genius was, he would eventually become a mediocre person when his cultivation could no longer advance.
"Hahaha …" Qian Wu's laughter rang out at this moment, sounding extremely unbridled. "I thought you were some kind of peerless genius, unable to advance in your cultivation? Hahaha … what a waste of time. Forget it, I'll just treat it as a good deed and let you reincarnate and be reborn! "
As Qian Wu finished his sentence, a metal tube appeared in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
A ray of red light shot out from the metal tube and shot into the sky.
"Signal?!" When the Dragon Protection Squad and the Royal Guards saw this scene, they were immediately shocked. They wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
Because when the red light shot into the sky, a jade green light also lit up in the sky. It was a combination of four different rays of jade green light.
"Boom!"
The jade green light descended from the sky and instantly turned into a huge light pillar, blasting the gigantic Near-Life Gate on the ground.
At the same time, Qian Wu's hand also lit up with six colored symbols. Threads of light rapidly linked the six symbols together.
"Near-Life Gate, open!" With a cold shout, Qian Wu pressed his palm onto the ground.
"Kaboom!"
The ground shook, and the originally closed Near-Life Gate moved again. The gigantic bronze gate slowly opened, revealing darkness within.
But very quickly, red, blue, green, and other colors of light also lit up in the darkness. Furthermore, there were more and more of them, just like the countless stars in the sky.
However, that light was extremely strange, and it seemed extremely cold.
"How is this possible? Qian Wu can open the Near-Life Gate again! "
"It's the Four Ancient Symbols Formation. As long as the Four Ancient Symbols Formation is not broken, then it will continuously gather energy, and the Near-Life Gate can be opened again!"
"What should we do? Is there going to be another Demon King? "
"No, even the Holy Barbarian Empire would not have the ability to invite two Demon Kings. If I'm not wrong, it should be an army of beasts this time!"
"An army of beasts? No, then we have to stop him! "
"It's too late. The Near-Life Gate can only be controlled by someone who has mastered the Near-Life Dao. Once it's opened, it can't be closed!"
Seeing the Near-Life Gate open again, everyone's heart skipped a beat. Be it the Dragon Protection Squad, the Royal Guards, or even the Southern Region Army, who were engaged in battle, all stopped what they were doing.
At this moment …
They finally knew Qian Wu's true trump card.
They also knew why Qian Wu had to enter the Imperial Palace, and why he planned for King Duan to rush to the Imperial Palace to rescue the Emperor.
The fight between the Crown Prince and King Duan was one of the reasons. But more importantly, Qian Wu wanted to isolate the Imperial Palace from the outside world. As long as he was in the Imperial Palace, and as long as the Four Ancient Symbols Formation was not broken, then the war would never stop.
"A quarter of an hour. In another quarter of an hour, the Near-Life Gate can be opened again. Your Highness, do you still regret your decision?" Qian Wu looked at Lin Xinjue, who was also in shock, and smiled.
"I … I have never regretted it!" King Duan's face paled slightly, but he gritted his teeth and replied.
"Hahaha, good, very good!" Qian Wu laughed again. Then, he turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi. "Fang Zhengzhi, how dare you spoil my plan. Today, you must …"
Qian Wu did not finish his sentence.
That was because he realized that Fang Zhengzhi had disappeared from his previous position. However, the strange thing was that Ping Yang did not disappear.
"Ran away?! Or did he run away alone? " Qian Wu was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled coldly. "Very good. This is what a shameless person should do!"
Qian Wu's eyes were filled with disdain. But soon, he realized that something was amiss. Because he realized that Ping Yang's eyes were fixed on one spot.
Not only Ping Yang …
At this moment, everyone's gazes were fixed on the same spot. Like Ping Yang, everyone's gazes were directed in the same direction.
"What are you looking at?" Qian Wu subconsciously turned his gaze over. Then, he had the same expression as everyone else. It was a kind of doubt, a doubt that came from the bottom of his heart.
Because that direction was the location of the Near-Life Gate.
But this was not the main point. The main point was that there was a figure standing at the entrance of the Near-Life Gate. A figure dressed in a brand new official's robe.
"Fang Zhengzhi, this guy didn't escape?" Qian Wu was surprised. Then, he saw Fang Zhengzhi's hands stretched out in front of the Near-Life Gate. "What is he doing? Is he trying to use his body to block the gate? Hahaha … "
Qian Wu could not help but burst into laughter when he saw this.
Of course, he could guess what Fang Zhengzhi was trying to do. He was trying to destroy the Near-Life Gate. But this idea was too naive, or even childish.
The Near-Life Gate!
The number one treasure of the Holy Barbarian Empire.
How could it be destroyed so easily?
Not to mention that Fang Zhengzhi was only in the Supernatural State. Even a sage would not be able to leave a mark on the Near-Life Gate.
"You are indeed very silly and …" Before Qian Wu could finish his sentence, his eyes widened and his mouth opened into an exaggerated shape.
That was shock, a shock that could not be described with words.
Not just Qian Wu …
At this moment, almost everyone present had the same expression as Qian Wu, including Prince Li of the First Rank and King Xieluo.
"Kacha!" A loud sound rang out.
The Near-Life Gate, which was slowly opening on the ground, rose at this moment. Or rather, it wasn't really rising, but it was being lifted up by someone.
Lifted up!
The Near-Life Gate was lifted up by someone?!
How was this possible!
Silence, incomparable silence.
The entire world seemed to have come to a standstill at this moment. The night breeze blew past countless pairs of eyes that were wide open, as well as shocked faces.
Under the shocked gazes, Fang Zhengzhi revealed a bright smile. Then, he freed one hand and lightly knocked on the Near-Life Gate that was raised above his head.
"Dong!"
"Dong, dong …"
A heavy ancient bronze voice rang out, shaking everyone's hearts. It reverberated in the night sky, reverberating …
"I didn't expect this thing to be so light?" Fang Zhengzhi stopped after a few knocks. He seemed to have not had enough.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a gigantic beast that had been guarding the Near-Life Gate let out a deafening roar. Although it was equally shocked, it was not as stunned as Qian Wu.
When it saw Fang Zhengzhi knocking on the Near-Life Gate, it finally reacted.
After a loud roar.
Its gigantic body pounced towards Fang Zhengzhi. It opened its bloody mouth. One could imagine that if it were to bite, it would definitely swallow Fang Zhengzhi whole.
"Yo, little guy, you dare to sneak an attack on me?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the beast pouncing towards him and smiled. Then, he raised the Near-Life Gate and smashed it down.
The gigantic beast did not expect Fang Zhengzhi to smash it with the Near-Life Gate. It wanted to dodge, but it was already in mid-air. How could it dodge?
"Boom!"
A deafening sound rang out and the ground shook.
The gigantic beast was smashed by the Near-Life Gate without any resistance. Its body sank, and its four claws fell to the ground. Its head that was smashed by the Near-Life Gate was a bloody mess.
It did not even have the chance to cry out in pain before it died.
"Dead?!"
Everyone looked at the blood on the ground and the motionless gigantic beast. Then, they looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who raised the Near-Life Gate above his head again.
At this moment, there was only one thought in their minds.
"This is the Supernatural State?!"
