Chapter 451: I'm sorry, half-sage
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
All of the Demon Domain Chiefs looked at the bright rock on Fang Zhengzhi. They knew what it was, and that knowledge caused their disbelief.
They weren't the only ones in disbelief.
Yun Qingwu was also in disbelief.
"Fang Zhengzhi was the one who broke The Vast World?"
She was the one who came up with the plan on Cang Ling Mountain, but it had failed in spectacular fashion.
Yun Qingwu had never known the reason why her plan had failed. All she knew was that The Vast World had disappeared, along with a Heaven Dao Sage Tablet.
Yun Qingwu had considered that Fang Zhengzhi may have been involved on Cang Ling Mountain.
However, she dismissed that thought at that time.
She did not think that Fang Zhengzhi was powerful enough to break The Vast World.
Even though The Vast World that she had was not as powerful as it was initially, it wasn't something Fang Zhengzhi would be able to break.
Even Xing Yuanguo would not have been able to break it.
Furthermore, based on what she knew, Fang Zhengzhi was still in The Vast World at that time. Did that mean that Fang Zhengzhi had broken The Vast World from within?
That was even more unfathomable.
So...
What happened?
Yun Qingwu looked at the rock in Fang Zhengzhi's hand, her eyes filled with confusion. However, she did not spend another moment pondering that question.
There was a more pressing issue.
That was...
The Vast World had been activated!
Ordinarily, a Rebirth State cultivator and 10 Supernatural State cultivators were required to activate The Vast World. However, a single strike from Canyang contained enough power to activate it.
"Coincidence? Or fate?!"
...
"Sister Yan, is that the thing from the last time..." Ping Yang asked nervously when she saw the glowing rock.
"Mm, The Vast World!"
"Does that mean that it was the shameless fella who saved us on Cang Ling Mountain?"
"Yup." Chi Guyan nodded. She had no idea how Fang Zhengzhi did it. However, for The Vast World to be in his possession...
That could only mean that...
Fang Zhengzhi had been the one who saved them all.
On the walls of the Iron Hill Settlement.
Xing Yuanguo murmured to himself as he looked at the rock on Fang Zhengzhi's chest.
"It was him... it was actually him... this is great. With The Vast World, we can definitely get out of this situation!" Xing Yuanguo was also slightly confused.
However, as the commander of the army.
His main concern was how to win this war.
The Vast World provided the perfect opportunity.
"Fang Zhengzhi!" Nangong Hao's lips parted as he sheathed his sword.
No one knew what Nangong Hao was thinking.
However, it was certain that Nangong Hao had just heaved a sigh of relief.
Fang Zhengzhi had participated in the battle on Cang Ling Mountain.
He knew what the Demon Domain Chief was saying.
The Vast World?
Was this rock the legendary treasure?
How powerful!
This was the item that could consume entire worlds. With this item, he could definitely survive!
There was only one problem...
How do you use it?
"Erm... do you know how to use The Vast World?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Canyang and asked sincerely. Canyang's expression was changing by the moment.
...
The wind blew Canyang's silver hair and blue robe backwards.
Silence, complete silence.
Canyang was not the only one who was silent. Every demon and soldier in the Iron Hill Settlement were silent.
The demons looked at each other, smirking as they did so. They were truly happy to hear this.
The joint forces smiled bitterly.
They couldn't believe their ears.
How do you use this?
That was such a wonderful question!
Yun Qingwu's lips twitched. She wanted to burst out laughing, but she suppressed her laughter. It was not a good time to laugh.
If she laughed now...
It may prove to be too early of a celebration.
Furthermore, she was not fond of laughing in front of a crowd.
As for Ping Yang, she was completely stunned.
She really wanted to berate Fang Zhengzhi. Was he really that ignorant?
However, she swallowed her words.
Canyang sprang into action.
He raised his hand without hesitation. He knew how dangerous The Vast World was.
It was so dangerous that even he had to fear it.
Fang Zhengzhi had always thought of himself as the shameless one. As such, he didn't expect that the half sage would be this unreasonable.
What was the meaning of attacking in this fashion?
Even if he didn't know, he could have just said so!
Okay then...
What was the point of having a treasure if you didn't know how to use it?
Fang Zhengzhi was exasperated. He felt as though he had just landed himself a hot chick but had no idea where the button on her shirt was.
Most importantly, the lady was leaving in three minutes!
The pressure was on.
Fang Zhengzhi was panicking.
Canyang's hand was already raised and Fang Zhengzhi knew how powerful and quick it was. He wanted to stall Canyang, but he couldn't.
"Ping Yang and Chi Guyan must know how to use it! Can't they tell that I was actually asking them?" Fang Zhengzhi felt that they still had some coordination issues.
In fact...
He couldn't blame Ping Yang and Chi Guyan.
No one would possibly think of answering such a commonsensical question. Furthermore, they wouldn't know how to answer Fang Zhengzhi in the most succinct manner.
But most importantly, Canyang was too quick.
Canyang had hesitated for a moment when he heard Fang Zhengzhi's question, but he reacted quickly.
He didn't give Fang Zhengzhi any chance to react.
Fang Zhengzhi watched on as Canyang struck. He grit his teeth as he saw the palm close in on him.
Isn't this a treasure?
He was getting desperate!
He had no other choice. He panicked and threw the rock at Canyang.
"Argh!"
The silver light shot towards Canyang's face.
Fang Zhengzhi had no idea if he had thrown the rock in the right way, but he had to say that his accuracy was on point.
After all, he had been throwing items at his opponents for quite some time now.
It didn't matter if they were secret weapons or treasures.
The technique was the same!
Fang Zhengzhi smiled confidently.
However, the demons and the soldiers from the Dragon Protection Squad and the Mountain Breaking Army were stunned.
They couldn't bring themselves to believe what they were seeing.
What the hell was Fang Zhengzhi doing?
"What is going on?"
"Did he throw The Vast World?"
"He really did that?!"
All of the soldiers on the battlefield could not believe their eyes. Their jaws dropped.
But there was no sound...
Ping Yang's jaw dropped too, the gap large enough to fit a large egg.
She couldn't believe it.
In fact...
Even the usually calm Chi Guyan and Yun Qingwu couldn't help but be stunned by Fang Zhengzhi's actions.
Two of the most beautiful women on the planet...
Their jaws were wide open...
Their exquisite, bright eyes were fixed on Fang Zhengzhi.
"Bang!" The light hit home and left a red mark on Canyang's wrinkled face.
Canyang did not try and dodge.
His hand stopped in mid-air. It wasn't because he didn't want to kill Fang Zhengzhi... it was because he wanted to ask Fang Zhengzhi a question.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Since young, Canyang had longed to see light, to see the sun, the moon, the mountains...
But right now...
All he wanted to see was Fang Zhengzhi's expression. He wanted to know what the hell Fang Zhengzhi was thinking.
This was a question that Yun Qingwu, Chi Guyan, Ping Yang, Xing Yuanguo, Xing Qingsui, Nangong Hao... literally everyone had in their minds.
They all looked at Fang Zhengzhi...
And then they looked at The Vast World which had just been smashed in Canyang's face.
The silver light was just as radiant as before, linking up with the stars in the sky...
It was a pity...
It was no longer in Fang Zhengzhi's hands.
He had no idea if throwing The Vast World had achieved the intended effect, but he knew that he had hit his target...
And Canyang stopped...
Was it effective?
Was the key really to throw it?
At that moment, he thought that he may have been overthinking it before. Sometimes the most complex problems had the simplest solutions.
Maybe that was true in this case.
Fang Zhengzhi laughed.
He guffawed.
So what if Canyang was a half sage? He was hit by Fang Zhengzhi's rock!
Fang Zhengzhi was quite proud of himself, but he didn't understand something...
Usually...
After the treasure had hit its target, it would shake the earth. However, nothing seemed to be happening.
Just momentary immobilization?
Shouldn't Canyang be spitting out mouthfuls of blood?
Hang on...
Something was wrong.
The Vast World was like a parallel dimension. After it hit... the target should...
Disappear?
Or be sucked in?
At the very least, Canyang should be screaming!
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Canyang and realized that Canyang was still as complete as before.
What was happening?
Could it be that he had thrown it wrongly? Fang Zhengzhi's smile froze and his eyes widened.
Canyang sprang into action and leapt for The Vast World which was slipping from his face.
Fang Zhengzhi was not stupid.
His reaction speed was not the fastest in the world, but he knew what was happening.
Canyang's movements proved that Fang Zhengzhi's attack had done little harm.
As such...
His first order of business was to stop Canyang.
He had to prevent The Vast World from falling into Canyang's hands.
Fang Zhengzhi was extremely anxious when he saw Canyang reach for The Vast World. He was not as fast as Canyang.
What now?
If Canyang had The Vast World...
Would he still stand a chance?
He hated himself for not knowing how to open it.
Fang Zhengzhi was furious. He had thought that Canyang would disappear after he was hit by the rock.
But that was a sham!
No way...
He had to fight it out, no matter what!
"Feint!" Fang Zhengzhi screamed as he grit his teeth and lunged. One hand reached for The Vast World, the other...
Went between Canyang's legs.
Fang Zhengzhi would never have used this tactic on any man, especially not an old man.
He always respected the elderly...
However, desperate times called for desperate measures. He had no other choice now.
He had to go for the balls.
I'm sorry...
Half Sage!
