Boom! Another loud sound was heard. It was the loud sound made by Yan Yin when he dashed between the elders of the demon race.
The collaboration of two of the most powerful men definitely gave the elders of the demon race some pressure. Both Qian Yu and Yan Yin represented the pinnacle of humankind’s capabilities.
On the other hand, the elders of the demon race?
The most powerful demons were mostly killed by Monster Emperor Baizhi after the battle over ten years ago, leaving behind less than twenty of them.
But would they give up?
No!
Even if they were to lose their lives, they would not give up or retreat, regardless of how strong their opponent was.
This was a battle where the fighters swore to stay on with their lives. Without a single hint of retreat, every single elder of the demon race had an extraordinarily strong willpower.
“Don’t think of harming our Lord!” With their voices in unison, the strong powers exploded amongst the elders of the demon race. They pushed the approaching Qian Yu and Yan Yin aside in a wild manner.
“Tower Master Qian was pushed aside?!”
“What’s going on?”
This scene happened quite suddenly.
The sages and the disciples of the various sects could not understand.
This scenario was unexpected. In fact, the powers of the elders of the demon race was unexpected as well. However, the reality was that Qian Yu and Yan Yin were pushed back for at least a distance of five steps.
In the book “The Record of Strange Stories”, there were special records such as the strange phenomenon of the valleys outside the Icy Monkey Settlement of the Southern Region and the unique creatures in some regions.
Beside the strange phenomenons and creatures, another category was strange events.
For example, when a child was stuck under a giant rock that rolled down from the mountains, an ordinary woman lifted the giant rock with an extraordinary and terrifying strength.
Such events were not common, yet they exist.
Some people credit this to motherly love while some credit it to a sudden explosion of one’s potential. No matter what, they shared a common point: willpower, a strong and firm willpower.
Now, it was evident that the elders of the demon race had this type of willpower. They were not afraid of death or other strong opponents. They only had a single thought in mind: prevent anyone from approaching Yun Qingwu.
This was a form of protection.
Protecting the most important person and not allowing anyone to touch him or her. This protective willpower enabled them to exceed their own capabilities.
“Yun Qingwu!” Fang Zhengzhi, unlike the sages and the disciples of the various sects, was not surprised at this scene.
In reality, he had felt the strong and firm willpower when he approached the elders of the demon race.
The final part of any battle was the battle amongst willpowers.
Fang Zhengzhi would not retreat.
That was because he had a willpower in his heart too. He also had someone he wanted to protect and hence he would never retreat.
“Die!” As fast as a lightning, Fang Zhengzhi charged towards the front of the elders of the demon race once again.
At such a close distance, they could feel each other’s breaths.
Humm! A loud and clear sound made by the sword was heard again. However, unlike the previous strike, Fang Zhengzhi did not strike his Traceless Sword towards the front.
Instead, he raised it up high.
There had always been an ordinary sword technique in the Great Xia Dynasty called the “slicing of mountains”.
In fact, it was a technique without any fanciful moves.
Yet, Fang Zhengzhi had used this move at this point in time. Furthermore, it was evident that he had tightened his grip on the handle of the Traceless Sword.
He gripped the handle with both of his hands.
Without any hesitation, he raised his sword high and struck downwards.
There was neither any eye-blinding light nor violent waves. There was only one element to it — willpower, the willpower to slice everything apart.
“You won’t be able to kill Young Lord!”
“You won’t be able to kill her!”
The voices of the elders of the demon race could be heard. Beneath their old facial features and silver hair, they exuded inner strength.
Fang Zhengzhi’s Traceless Sword struck downwards.
With a speed that was extremely fast and with purple light glowing, it hit the center of the row of elders of the demon race.
Meanwhile, the elders of the demon race defended with their weapons. Although they were neither as strong in terms of capabilities nor as fast as Fang Zhengzhi, they managed to block the attack of the sword and at the same time without hesitation, struck Fang Zhengzhi with their weapons.
“No!”
“Young Empress!”
“Fang Zhengzhi, I will not let you hurt Young Lord!”
“Kill her!”
“Kill Yun Qingwu!”
Different voices could be heard. Although these voices could not be differentiated, they all rang in unison.
At that instant, everyone focused their attention on Fang Zhengzhi’s Traceless Sword.
The Traceless Sword struck one of the arms of the elders of the demon race. Without much obstruction, the arm stayed stationary in midair.
Following that, the Traceless Sword hit the shoulder beneath the arm.
Blood splattered everywhere.
However, at this moment, a silvery white hook blocked the front of the traceless sword. From the bottom, it was lifting the traceless sword from the shoulder of the elder of the demon race.
An ear-piercing collision sound was heard.
It happened very quickly!
As though it ended in a few seconds.
Crack! The silvery white hook was broken and sliced in half by the traceless sword. The shoulder of the elder of the demon race was also sliced apart.
An excited sound was emitted from the traceless sword.
The tip of the traceless sword was approaching Yun Qingwu who was standing behind the elders of the demon race. It was less than an inch away from her and the chilling sword radiance was radiating towards her direction.
Yun Qingwu’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Ding! A gentle sound was heard. It came from the collision of the blades of the long sword of the demon race and the traceless sword.
Apart from the long sword, another dark green scimitar blocking the front of the traceless sword.
It happened in an instant.
The sounds produced were mixed together with other noises. For example, the gentle “ding” sound had sounded together along with the “crack” sound.
Of course, the sound that was loud enough for everyone to be heard was none other than the sword sound made by the Traceless Sword.
The sword sound caused the long sword to bend and eventually break apart.
Similarly, the sword sound allowed the tip of the Traceless Sword to pierce through the long dark green scimitar. With a chilling sword radiance and the purple light, the Traceless Sword struck forward continuously.
At that instant when the tip of the Traceless Sword was about to touch Yun Qingwu’s chest, a white flower petal suddenly fell from the sky.
Following that, a sword appeared at the front of the Traceless Sword.
It was a long sword that was crystal clear like snow. The handle was white as snow, the hand holding the sword was also thin and white as snow. However, the white scholar’s robe on the person’s hand was stained with blood.
Wuwei Sword!
This sword belonged to Nangong Hao.
And now, it appeared in front of the Traceless Sword.
Nangong Hao’s attacks had always been very fast. To do nothing means doing something. From the start of the attack to the end, Nangong Hao performed his sword moves extremely fast.
“Ultimately, you missed by a little…” Yun Qingwu sighed as she looked at the two swords in front of her eyes.
“A little? Really?!” Fang Zhengzhi was not surprised of Nangong Hao’s attack. After all, Nangong Hao was still under Yun Qingwu’s control/
Yet, the sword of Nangong Hao…
Could it really block his attack?
Fang Zhengzhi was not certain.
Therefore, how could Yun Qingwu be certain?
“Fang Zhengzhi, stand aside!”
“You brat… Run, hurry up and run!”
Just as Fang Zhengzhi was in a state of confusion, two exasperated voices could be heard. He roughly figured out that the first voice was from Qian Yu and the second…
Was from Yan Yin!
Both Qian Yu and Yan Yin were not far away from him. The two exasperated screams clearly resonated into his ears.
However, why should he run?
Fang Zhengzhi could not react at that moment. However, soon, he felt something falling from the top of his head.
Sneak attack?!
Monster Emperor Baizhi?
It could not have be Monster Emperor Baizhi. After all, in that situation, Mu Qingfeng ad Mo Shanshi must have attacked with all their might, hence Monster Emperor Baizhi could not possibly arrive so quickly. She needed at least the time taken for ten breaths to arrive.
Yet if it was not Monster Emperor Baizhi…
How else could attack from above his head?
By right, there should not be anyone. However, in reality, a strong force pressed down on his head and Fang Zhengzhi saw a shadow forming beneath his feet.
Although he hesitated for only a second, the strong force above his head had changed after a few thoughts had flashed across his mind.
The force turned from pressure to a terrifying sense of crisis.
“What on earth?!” Fang Zhengzhi did not hesitate any further and took a step back. After all, his scalp had felt numb from the sense of crisis caused by the force.
Boom! A loud sound was heard.
Afterwards, Fang Zhengzhi saw the elders of the demon race flew in all directions like “small stones” that were smashed apart.
The strong willpower to protect…
Disintegrated.
This happened too suddenly such that even Fang Zhengzhi was astonished.
Of course, he was more surprised by the “black” shadow that was not too big in size but had the power to not only block Yun Qingwu fully but also sent the elders of the demon race flying in all directions without any resistance.
“Rock?” Fang Zhengzhi glanced upwards. He saw the object that was blocking him — a rock that was at least one foot high.
It was very black and did not have any radiance or fancy marks. Instead, it exuded an ancient rustic aura.
Besides that…
There was a slight trace.
Nobody knew how long this black rock had lasted through. It exuded a powerful force that made one’s soul tremble and one’s head throb in pain.
Crack! At this instant, a gentle sound emitted from the giant black rock. Then, a crack formed in the center of the rock.
“Giant black rock, trace… crack?” Fang Zhengzhi felt a jolt and the galaxy suddenly flashed through his mind.
In this galaxy, there was a intertwining giant black chain in the middle of the sky as well as giant black rocks that were connected by the chain.
It exuded an chilling aura that also gave off an ancient forcefulness.
It was the giant black rock in the galaxy!
The trace in the center of the giant black rock was caused by the chains that had chained the stones together.
“The giant black rock in the galaxy? Landed… In front of me?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the giant black rock and the crack that was expanding. He was astonished.
“You missed by a little bit not because you were not capable, but because of your luck. In other words, it was time…” Yun Qingwu’s voice came from the back of the giant black rock.
“Luck, time?” Fang Zhengzhi could understand what Yun Qingwu meant but it felt strange.
He was not sure if he should continue discussing about the topic at this point in time. However, he could see that the crack on the giant black rock was becoming increasingly concentrated.
It was like a spider web that spread throughout the giant black rock. Furthermore, it was becoming increasingly concentrated till the point that the small rocks were about to turn into fragments.
So…
Was this rock supposed to explode?
This thought flashed across Fang Zhengzhi’s mind. After that, he took two steps behind to ensure that he was a distance away from the giant black rock.
At least, he had to make sure that he had sufficient time to prevent the rock fragments from hitting him when the giant black rock exploded.
These were Fang Zhengzhi’s inner thoughts.
On the other hand, to the sages and the disciples of the various sects, the giant black rock that landed made them stunned and astonished.
That was because from their angle, they did not only see the giant black rock between Fang Zhengzhi and Yun Qingwu. They saw that the green and black doors in heaven were completely opened.
In the darkness, spots of light twinkled like pairs of eyes that were staring at the world beneath.
