Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up once again.

On the other hand, Ying Shan’s face was a deathly shade of white. He could naturally feel the powerful and continuous energy coming from within Fang Zhengzhi’s body, clashing together with his force over and over again.

However, he couldn’t understand why would a person of the Heavenly Reflection State possess such vast and endless power?

Genius...

Even if he was a genius, how could such an unconventional thing happen?

Ying Shan was filled with immense shock.

What caused him even more shock was that an immense power began to press towards him. That was naturally Fang Zhengzhi’s power. Because, he held the blade of the sword in his hands.

The boundless power crashed down upon him like the sea.

Ying Shan’s hand that grasped the sword actually became somewhat unstable.

"Boom!"

The sword and the palm separated.

The rock on the ground turned into powder, as if it had been struck by a waterfall that descended from the sky. A deep crater appeared. Within the deep crater, there were even countless sword marks etched clearly within.

Ying Shan’s body was forced back exactly five steps before he managed to stand still.

On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi stood on the spot holding the sword in his hand.

He didn’t take a single step back.

This scene, without a doubt, caused everybody to fill with shock.

From the moment Fang Zhengzhi attacked, to the moment Ying Shan retreated, the amount of time that passed seemed very long. However, in reality, the amount of time that passed between the connection of the sword and the palm to their separation was only the blink of an eye.

"Ying Shan... was forced to retreat?!"

"How is this possible?!"

"A person of the Heavenly Reflection State had actually forced a person of the Supernatural Intermediate State to retreat?"

Everybody stared at Fang Zhengzhi, their faces filled with shock.

Even Yan Xiu, despite his unwavering trust for Fang Zhengzhi, was still in somewhat of a disbelief. He trusted Fang Zhengzhi, however, that didn’t mean that he believed Fang Zhengzhi could win.

But now...

Fang Zhengzhi had won. He forced Ying Shan to retreat within one move, while standing still without moving.

Nangong Mu’s eyes flashed with light. His calm expression was shattered. He had pinned all his hopes upon Fang Zhengzhi. However, that hope was due to intelligence.

It wasn’t due to power.

However, Fang Zhengzhi had once again gained the advantage in a battle of power. How could he not be shocked?

Xing Qingsui held the sword in his hand, his body already completely stained with blood. However, he didn’t even notice it one bit. Instead, what he was more concerned about was, how could Fang Zhengzhi win in one move?

Ping Yang’s tiny mouth opened slightly. She had already collapsed from exhaustion, however, she wasn’t yet unconscious.

After experiencing Ying Shan’s power personally, she evidently knew how much power Ying Shan’s fully-powered palm strike contained. Despite wearing the Red Flame Flower Armour, she was still unable to defend against it.

Yet, Fang Zhengzhi was actually able to force Ying Shan to retreat?

"How did he..." Ping Yang wanted to ask, how did he do it, why could he do it. However, when the words reached her mouth, she didn’t speak.

For some unknown reason, after experiencing the Broken Bridge, the Twin Stone Tablets and the stone house, she always had this feeling in her heart. As long as Fang Zhengzhi wanted to do something, he seemed to definitely be able to achieve it.

There wasn’t a reason.

It seemed very unreasonable. However, Fang Zhengzhi was such an unreasonable person.

Fang Zhengzhi held the sword in his hand.

Naturally, he knew why. If it was a battle of enlightenment states, Ying Shan definitely overpowered him. However, if it was a battle of strength, he didn’t believe that he would lose to Ying Shan.

This was a sense of confidence that came from within his bones.

Unfortunately...

This sense of confidence met with a problem.

He certainly didn’t intend to stop. After winning a move, he should leverage on his advantage to give chase. However, he couldn’t do so. Because, a tiny problem appeared with the sword in his hand.

It broke.

"Crack!"

In an instant, the golden sword, from the sword hilt to the blade of the sword, was filled with web-like cracks. Then, piece by piece, fell to the ground.

The sword...

Was it real?

This question appeared in Fang Zhengzhi’s mind again.

He had no way of ascertaining whether this sword was real. Then, why would his sword appear here? And what was the power contained in the sword all about?

If this sword was real.

Why would it break? Or, it could be said, from the start to the end, this had always been a broken sword?

Fang Zhengzhi looked at the broken sword in his hand and began to think.

On the other hand, when the examinees behind him saw the sword in Fang Zhengzhi’s hand break...

They didn’t think this way.

They didn’t consider whether this sword was real or fake. What they were more concerned about was, what to do with a broken sword?

This feeling was very hard to describe. It was as if the hope that had just started burning within them was suddenly extinguished by a pail of cold water. Their hearts were filled with a chilling sense of coldness from their heads to their toes.

Ying Shan’s thoughts were the complete opposite of the examinees.

The sense of coldness in his heart began to burn with hope once again after seeing the sword in Fang Zhengzhi’s hand break.

"How can one fight... with a broken sword?" Ying Shan looked at Fang Zhengzhi.

Everybody else looked at Fang Zhengzhi as well.

Then, gritting their teeth, they held out the swords in their hands.

One following another, swords appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi. Within them, there was a completely black sword. That was Xing Qingsui’s Black Meteor Sword.

"My sword can hold a fight!" Xing Qingsui’s tone seemed somewhat weak. However, his expression was very determined. For a sword user, the sword was his life.

Xing Qingsui offered his sword to Fang Zhengzhi. This was equivalent to offering his life to Fang Zhengzhi.

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t receive the sword.

He was thinking. From the Broken Bridge to the Twin Stone Tablets to the illusion within the stone house, scenes flashed within his mind.

Broken...

Yet not broken!

One in the light, one in the dark. The Twin Stone Tablets.

Advance, yet there was no path. Retreat, and one could exit.

"I understand!" Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes instantly lit up. He finally understood what the levels in the World of the Sage represented.

"Come out, if you still wish to leave!" Fang Zhengzhi suddenly shouted out loudly.

His voice reverberated in the air.

This caused the other examinees to feel somewhat shocked. They couldn’t really understand what Fang Zhengzhi was shouting. Come out? Leave? Could it be that Fang Zhengzhi had suffered some brain damage after clashing with Ying Shan?

Within the World of the Sage, don’t tell me that other than themselves, there were still other people?

The wind blew lightly...

Other than that, there were no other movements.

Fang Zhengzhi’s face reddened slightly.

Don’t tell me I guessed wrongly?

That’s not very possible...

"The world is so big, don’t you wish to go out and explore it?" Fang Zhengzhi shouted again, unsatisfied.

The wind continued to blow. Other than that, there were still no other movements.

On the other hand, the rest of the examinees looked at Fang Zhengzhi as if they were staring at an idiot.

Don’t tell me he had really turned dumb?

"It is so lonely to stay here alone. There is nobody to talk to you, or bring you to see the beautiful sceneries. Such loneliness, don’t you feel cold?" Fang Zhengzhi’s voice sounded out once again.

However, other than his own voice, there weren’t any other replies.

"There are other people here?"

"Is he crazy? How can there be other people in the World of the Sage?"

"How is he talking to?"

Each of the examinees were filled with disbelief. The World of the Sage was a pocket dimension, controlled by the royal family. How could nobody know if there was somebody inside?

Yiong Shan looked at Fang Zhengzhi, somewhat confused. He didn’t know what Fang Zhengzhi was doing. However, there was one point he knew very clearly. He had to kill Fang Zhengzhi as fast as possible.

Time was running out, he didn’t have any more time to waste.

Even though he suffered injuries in that previous attack.

However...

So what?

This was his task. This was also his last task before his death. Then, he had to complete this task, no matter what he had to sacrifice.

Hence, Ying Shan moved again.

His figure bent slightly like a bow as the black light in his palms began to flow. This strike was his last strike.

Win, and he would be king.

Lose, and he would fail.

However, Fang Zhengzhi continued to shout out. "Come out please, as long as you are willing to come out, I will definitely treat you well. I will pamper you, love you, care about you, hold you in my hands..."

When Ping Yang heard this, she almost couldn’t lie still anymore. Her small face reddened slightly, spitting out lightly towards Fang Zhengzhi. "Shameless!"

Yan Xiu’s expression changed slightly, seeming somewhat helpless.

On the other hand, Nangong Mu’s expression became rather strange. He thought, could it be a female?

The sword that Xing Qingsui held trembled slightly. It wasn’t because he lacked strength. Instead, he suddenly regretted. Why did he take the initiative to offer his own sword to such a person?

Ying Shan’s bent body suddenly paused.

A powerful feeling of shame suddenly rose up inside him. He couldn’t understand. As the great Vice Domain Chief of the Ten Devilish Domains, why would he lose to such a person?

This was evidently a lecher without the slightest bit of doubt.

Furthermore, his lecherous personality was so obvious.

Genius...

Monstrous.

Lecher!

Words bounced themselves continuously within Ying Shan’s mind. They were almost impossible to get rid of. However, he still moved in the end. His body was as fast as lightning. Because, no matter how much he couldn’t stand his lecher in front of him.

That was still his target. A target he had to kill.

"Come, come into my embrace. I will bring you to review the huge world, explore the countless mountains and rivers. Only I can give you happiness!" Fang Zhengzhi continued to drone on.

Yet, at this moment, Ying Shan attacked.

His speed was blazing fast, so much so that nobody would be able to react in time. His body was like a mist. There was still a shadow that hadn’t disappeared at the spot he initially stood.

This was his last attack. How could Ying Shan hold back?

However...

A figure was even faster than him.

That figure came out from below the shattered rock. It turned into a faint ray of light and soared into the sky. Then, it descended down from the sky, drawing a beautiful arc in the sky.

Finally, it landed into Fang Zhengzhi’s hand.

Ying Shan’s charging body stopped. His eyes were filled with disbelief. That was a true sense of shock that came from the heart. Anybody who witnessed such a scene would definitely be filled with shock.

At this moment, all of the examinees also stared with their eyes widened.

Even somebody as calm as Nangong Mu dropped his jaws.

Xing Qingsui’s body trembled. The Black Meteor Sword in his hand actually left his hand and fell to the ground with a clang.

Only Yan Xiu’s eyes still maintained the final trace of calm. However, within that trace of calm, there was still a faint glow. That was a sense of happiness that truly came from the heart.

Ping Yang’s eyes that were as clear as water looked at Fang Zhengzhi. Her face was flushed with red. She really couldn’t believe such a mysterious thing had happened. "Dont... don’t tell me he was previously... talking to... talking to the sword?!"
