Gate of God

Chapter 445: I want you dead

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

This caused Fang Zhengzhi great confusion.

Why would Ping Yang’s name cause a half sage to hesitate?

The night was cold and the moon was bright. After a long pause, Canyang nodded.

"Mm, you are right. I know exactly what the consequences are, however... this consequence will not only be born by the Blood Shadow City. Your Highness, are you prepared to have the Great Xia bear this consequence as well?" Canyang replied raspily.

"Humph, bloody blind man! I know what you are thinking. Do you think no one dares to say it? Let me warn you... let me go now, or I will not let you off when I mature!" Ping Yang’s expression froze when she heard this.

"Mature? Hmm... that’s a different problem altogether. If you had matured, I would not dare to do anything to you. But now, you are only 14 years old. You are still two years away from maturity."

Canyang shook his head and waved his right hand. Ping Yang was pulled right in front of him.

"Maturity? Two years? Wouldn’t dare to do anything to her?"

Fang Zhengzhi was stunned when he heard the exchange. What was happening? What was so great about Ping Yang?

A Star Conglomerate State cultivator...

Able to instill fear in a half sage after maturity?

Is this a joke?

Fang Zhengzhi did not buy any of it. If it were true, then he would be the first one to die after what he did in her residence.

Canyang must have made a mistake. Maybe he suffers from brain damage as well. If he was Canyang, he would have silenced PIng Yang.

If not, Ping Yang’s words...

"Let me go, let me go, bloody blind man... ah ah, release me! Fang Zhengzhi, you shameless fella, I saved you! It’s your turn to save me now!"

Just as he expected, Ping Yang was not only cussing, she was embarrassing Fang Zhengzhi.

"Make her shut up!" Fang Zhengzhi screamed to himself.

However, Canyang did nothing. He looked on calmly as Ping Yang threw her tantrum.

Fang Zhengzhi’s mouth twitched as he listened to Ping Yang.

He was simply going to ignore her.

There was nothing more to it.

Mm...

Fang Zhengzhi felt that something was off. The more Ping Yang screamed, the greater the attention was on him.

He was utterly embarrassed.

Fang Zhengzhi smiled bitterly.

He wanted to ask them what they were looking at. He wanted to ask them to save Ping Yang if they had the courage to.

But, he could not bring himself to say it.

Fang Zhengzhi admitted that he was generally quite shameless. However, for him to ignore a lady who had just tried to save him...

That was something...

That he couldn’t bring himself to do.

What was he to do now?

Was he going to ignore the fact that she had tried to save him?

"Fang Zhengzhi, come and save me. Haven’t you figured out the Heavenly Dao? Come and fight him and beat him up for me!" Ping Yang’s voice rang out.

The Dragon Protection Squad, the Mountain Breaking Army, as well as the Southern Region soldiers looked at each other.

They really wanted to save her...

But they couldn’t do anything about it.

Right now...

Their only hope was Fang Zhengzhi.

But why wasn’t Fang Zhengzhi taking any action?

They were all looking at Fang Zhengzhi, waiting for this genius to take action.

Ordinarily, they would never have faith in Fang Zhengzhi.

But under such circumstances...

They had to pin all their ’hopes’ on Fang Zhengzhi.

"Father, what do we do?" Xing Qingsui looked at Xing Yuanguo, his eyes filled with worry. He knew that Ping Yang must be safe.

Xing Yuanguo looked at Canyang.

He did not speak. He knew that this was not the opportune moment to strike. If he held back, there was a chance at negotiation, but if he struck...

Things would take a turn for the worse...

After all, the demons had the advantage now. If they continued the battle, more would die. If they could just drag it out a little longer...

Perhaps, things may take a turn for the better!

"Wait!" Xing Yuanguo blurted out.

"But..." Xing Qingsui wanted to say something. However, seeing Xing Yuanguo’s expression caused him to swallow his words.

...

"Fang Zhengzhi, you shameless b*stard, are you really going to leave me alone? If I die now, I will haunt you forever!" Ping Yang was getting increasingly anxious.

"Shut up!" Fang Zhengzhi could not take it any longer.

What was she thinking? Right now, stalling for time was the best option. In fact, having the princess rattle off may not be a bad thing.

"I won’t shut up you ungrateful b*stard! I just risked my life to save you yet you are now watching from the sidelines? Did I help you for nothing? If you don’t save me, I will curse you, curse you..."

"Can you shut up!" Fang Zhengzhi finally raged as he turned to look at Canyang exasperatedly, "I can exchange the hostages with you, but, I have a request."

"What is it." Canyang nodded, not surprised by this request.

"Withdraw your troops."

"Impossible."

"Okay then, I will make some concessions, withdraw your troops from the Iron Hill Settlement." Fang Zhengzhi had expected this answer.

"Also impossible." Canyang replied.

"Then there is nothing left to discuss. I do not have any ambitions nor do I want to meddle in the affairs between the humans and the demons. My appearance here was an accident. I only want t live. If I swap the hostages, I would be signing my death warrant. I might as well kill Yun Qingwu then."

Fang Zhengzhi waved Canyang off.

Canyang wanted to force Fang Zhengzhi to save Ping Yang. That way, he would be able to take Fang Zhengzhi down.

Not forgetting who his benefactor...

But, Fang Zhengzhi was not about to sign his own death warrant.

"Do you think that if we withdraw from the Iron Hill Settlement, you will be able to live?" Canyang ’looked’ at Fang Zhengzhi, his eyes filled with icy, murderous intent.

"At the very least, I will have a chance to live." Fang Zhengzhi replied.

"What if I told you that I only want your life?" Canyang asked calmly.

"Firstly, you must be able to take it." Fang Zhengzhi’s mouth twitched. He was not about to be outpostured.

"Okay, I will agree to your terms, but you must be the one to carry out the swap!" Canyang nodded after some hesitation.

"I have to stay behind?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at his surroundings before looking at Chi Guyan.

After hearing the exchange, Chi Guyan looked at Fang Zhengzhi, her mind working before she nodded towards him.

"F*ck me! What does that mean? Are you going to stay?!" Fang Zhengzhi cussed in his heart.

However, he didn’t make a sound.

Fang Zhengzhi knew exactly why Canyang wanted him to be the person to execute the exchange.

However...

He didn’t have a choice.

He couldn’t possibly ignore Ping Yang.

If the demons withdrew from the Iron Hill Settlement...

The Southern Region would have a chance of survival. That also meant that he had a way of ’escaping’.

However... he had to be able to get to the escape route first.

That being said, at least this choice left him some options.

Fang Zhengzhi knew that Canyang would not delay this any longer. Getting the demons to withdraw from the Iron Hill Settlement temporarily was the best deal they were going to get.

"Okay, I agree to your terms!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded.

He did not have any other option. Ping Yang needed to be saved. He may have to use Ping Yang as a human shield after...

Considering that she had the Red Flame Flower Armor...

She should be able to take a few hits.

"Give the order, have the army withdraw from the Iron Hill Settlement." Canyang showed no hesitation.

He gave the order immediately.

"Yes, sir!" The demon domain chiefs all nodded when they heard the order.

After nodding, the demons looked at Fang Zhengzhi with dagger-like stares.

Fang Zhengzhi was their number one enemy.

This had to do with the fact that he was a talent.

But more importantly...

They had a problem with Fang Zhengzhi’s actions.

His actions on the Feng Su cliff as well as his recent attack on Yun Qingwu which rendered her unconscious was intolerable!

The demons had their pride to defend.

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw!"

"Pass the order, withdraw our troops!"

The voices of the demons rang out as they began their withdrawal in an orderly fashion.

Shan Ling looked at the orderly, withdrawing demons in shock.

He knew exactly how the demons were like years ago.

Yun Qingwu!

This reputable leader of the demons... what technique did she use to organize the demons into the state they are today?

"Withdraw!"

"Withdraw!"

These voices reverberated through the settlement.

Before long, all of the bloodthirsty demons at the gates of the Iron Hill Settlement had all withdrawn back to their camps.

"Brother, what is going on?" Princess Shan Yu was completely floored when she saw the demons withdraw.

She was not comfortable with it.

"Don’t ask any questions now. Just withdraw back to the settlement and strengthen our defences!" Shan Ling ordered.

Princess Shan Yu was about to nod when she spotted a thin figure in blue.

That was not the most important point. More importantly, there was a lady in white lying down next to him.

"Yun QIngwu?! How is that possible?" Princess Shan Yu was stunned.

She could not figure out how Fang Zhengzhi had managed to escape the restraints of the Heavenly Dao! After all, she had been in the settlement coordinating the defences

How did Yun Qingwu end up in a comatose state?

And...

What the hell happened here?

"Aren’t you going to carry out your orders?" Shan Ling frowned.

"But..." Princess Shan Yu looked at Fang Zhengzhi, Chi Guyan, as well as the comatose Yun Qingwu and hesitated.

"Aish, Fang Zhengzhi has accessed the Heavenly Dao." Shan Ling looked at Princess Shan Yu and sighed, knowing exactly what she was thinking.

"What?! He... he managed to wield it?!" Princess Shan Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yes, we have no idea how he did it, but those are the facts. He freed himself from the restraints and knocked Yun Qingwu out." Shan Ling could understand the shock and confusion.

Even he himself was stunned when he saw it.

Fang Zhengzhi was only 16 years old!

If he could access and wield the Heavenly Dao at this age, what could he do in the future? If Shan Ling was to become an Emperor, Fang Zhengzhi must be disposed of.

Of course...

Fang Zhengzhi’s death was a foregone conclusion.

Shan Ling knew for a fact that since Canyang had ordered the withdrawal of the demons, he wasn’t going to let Fang Zhengzhi escape.

"Okay, we can begin the exchange now." Canyang’s voice rang out.

Fang Zhengzhi looked at the calm Chi Guyan, wondering why she wasn’t leaving.

"Are you going?"

"No." Chi Guyan replied calmly.

"Are you not afraid of dying?"

"Nope, he wants your life, not mine." Chi Guyan replied calmly.

"F*ck!" Fang Zhengzhi had initially been moved by Chi Guyan’s answer, but her subsequent response made him want to raise his middle finger to her.

However, he quickly turned to look at Ping Yang.

Now...

What was he going to do?
