Chapter 967: A Well-Deserved Genius

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

It was not exaggerated to call the five-layered protective screen made by the five Godly State experts the most powerful defense.

How would Ling Yu believe that Fang Zhengzhi could break through the defense using a few ordinary swords?

Even if “Meng Tian” was really more powerful than him, even if “Meng Tian’s” sword skills were extremely good, it was impossible for him to break through this level of defense.

Clang! The sword blade of the third long sword eventually broke as it was unable to withstand the prolonged collision and spinning.

However, there were still the fourth and fifth swords.

Boom! The fourth sword landed on the five-layered protective screen again and overlapped with the position that the third sword was at, with an increasing speed of rotation.

The sharp whistle was heard again and it was more intense as compared to earlier on.

Crack! At this moment, a crisp crack sound was heard with the whistle. It was not very loud but it made the Godly State experts’ expressions change completely.

That was because when this sound was heard, they saw a small crack on the five-layered protective screen above their head. Even though it was very small, it really cracked open.

Moreover, the crack became bigger and spread to the surroundings as the fourth long sword spun.

Boom! A beam of light struck the fourth long sword and it was sent flying. It was none other than Qin Xian who had attacked.

However, when the fourth sword was sent flying…

The fifth long sword did not strike!

“Hmm?! Where’s the last sword?” Lin Yu was surprised because he remembered clearly that Fang Zhengzhi had five swords in total.

Therefore, there should be five long swords in total.

However, why were there only four?

Where was the fifth long sword?

As this thought struck Ling Yu, a chill rose from his feet. It was an instinctive thought as a result of years of experience on the battlefield.

“Under the feet?!” Ling Yu’s face turned pale instantly. He figured out that the fifth long sword did exist, except that it did not land from the sky.

It was hidden underground!

This was a diversion trick!

Boom! The ground split open and the fifth long sword flew out from underground with a shining silver light like a stream of light that flew to the sky.

“Dodge, Young Lord!” Without hesitation, Ling Yu turned and pushed Yun Qingwu who was behind him away.

At such a critical moment, he had no other choice but to attack Yun Qingwu. Fortunately, he could control his strength even at such moments.

Yun Qingwu was sent flying by Ling Yu but did not suffer severe injuries. In fact, she did not even spit out a mouth of blood.

They were rather lucky to get this outcome.

After all, Ling Yu was a Godly State expert while Yun Qingwu was merely at a Star Conglomerate State. The difference in their powers was starking.

Swoosh! The sword blade of the fifth sword brushed past Ling Yu’s face and flew towards the five-layered protective realm in the sky at an extremely fast speed.

This ought to be a fortunate outcome.

However, Ling Yu’s expression froze and looked at the fifth sword in disbelief.

That was because he did not expect himself to be able to dodge the sword.

After all, the position he was standing at was exactly the position Yun Qingwu was at earlier on. He had exchanged positions with Yun Qingwu when he pushed her away.

Therefore, by right, he should be stabbed.

Why did the sword miss him?!

Was it because “Meng Tian’s” sword missed him by accident?

Ling Yu did not like to boost others’ morale and make himself look bad, but he was not naive enough to believe that “Meng Tian’s” sword really missed him by accident.

Therefore, the only explanation was that “Meng Tian” had intentionally done that.

However, why did “Meng Tian” intentionally miss him?

Unless Meng Tian had spent so much effort and energy to merely frighten Yun Qingwu and the Godly State experts?

Obviously not.

Boom! Just as Ling Yu was in a state of confusion, the fifth long sword finally hit the five-layered protective realm at the exact same position as the fourth long sword.

However, the difference was that the past four swords had stabbed into the realm but the fifth sword stabbed in an inside-out manner.

Crack! Almost instantaneously, the five-layered protective realm broke completely under the impact and swivel of the fifth sword.

The cracks were like a spiderweb and exploded at an extremely fast speed as though the realm did not have any protection at all.

Ling Yu’s face turned purple.

Apart from him, the faces of Mu Xing, the other two Godly State experts as well as Qin Xian turned extremely ugly.

They were not dumb.

Although this scene shocked them, it did not surprise them as they knew the reason behind what had happened.

In fact, when the fourth sword landed on the five-layered protective realm, it had suffered some damage from the strong pressure of the force.

The pressure caused it to deform as it contracted.

If a fifth sword struck down on it at that state, it would continue to contract. Even if it was further damaged, it would not break into pieces.

However, when the fifth long sword was stabbed upwards,,,

The outcome was completely different.

Using the analogy of a door, after it was being kicked by people from the outside and dented inwards, it would break if someone suddenly kicked from the inside.

The five-layered protective screen was similar.

The force caused by four strikes from outside and one strike from inside caused the crack to bulge up. Even the strongest defense object could not take this blow.

“He did it on purpose. Since the start, Meng Tian had no intention of hurting Yun Qingwu. His was eyeing on the five-layered protective screen!” Lin Yu finally figured out.

He figured out why the fifth sword missed Yun Qingwu.

That was because the fifth sword was not aimed at Yun Qingwu, or rather, it was not supposed to be attack in a straight line since the start.

The five-layered protective screen…

Broke!

So, where would “Meng Tian” attack from?

Young lord…

Wait a minute!

Young Lord was sent flying by the push?!

“Meng Tian!!!” Lin Yu’s eyes widened and were bloodshot as he saw Yun Qingwu.

An intense chill rose from his heart and cold sweat formed on his back. He felt extremely cold from head to toe as if he had entered a freezer,

That was because there was a figure standing at the place where Yun Qingwu was at.

There were some tears on his black robe but the black face cloth on his face still made one shudder.

Sagely Battle God, Meng Tian!

The huge ‘God’ word was filled with ridicule.

“Hi, have you heard of ‘waiting for a hare by the tree stump’?” Fang Zhengzhi stretched his arms lazily and grabbed onto Yun Qingwu with one hand.

“…”

“…”

Seeing this, Lin Yu, Qin Xian and the other Godly State experts, as well as the surrounding disciples of the Human Alliance were completely stunned.

The five Godly State experts could not believe that Fang Zhengzhi was able to take Yun Qingwu down with their protection.

Furthermore, it seemed like Lin Yu had intentionally ‘pushed” Yun Qingwu into Fang Zhengzhi’s hand.

It was too strange.

It was so strange that it was unbelievable.

However, that was the reality. Yun Qingwu had landed in Fang Zhengzhi’s hand. Her face turned pale as she was choked by Fang Zhengzhi.

The disciples of the Human Alliance also could not believe their eyes.

Although they witnessed the entire scene unfold, they still could not believe how Fang Zhengzhi caught Yun Qingwu.

After all, there were five Godly State experts in front of Fang Zhengzhi.

Moreover, these five Godly State experts had never left Yun Qingwu at all and their main priority was to protect her.

Under such circumstances…

Yun Qingwu was still caught and was even intentionally pushed out by Lin Yu.

Who would believe this?!

“How is it possible, unless… you… you… what…” Lin Yu lost his cool. At this moment, all he felt was astonishment.

At this point in time, he had figured out the “nature” of everything.

Fang Zhengzhi used four swords and the tactic of chaining them up to catch the five Godly State experts’ attention and mislead them to believe that there would be a fifth sword landing from the sky such that they neglected about the undergrond defense. This resulted in the underground becoming their weakest point of defense.

Making use of this opportunity, he managed to push the fifth sword into the five-layered protective screen.

At this moment, all the Godly State experts thought of protecting Yun Qingwu.

Therefore Lin Yu did it.

He did it successfully.

However, because of this critical step, Yun Qingwu left the protection realm of the five Godly State experts.

Yet, that was not the most important factor.

The most important factor was the timing. If the five-layered protective screen did not break open, Yun Qingwu would have landed on the surface of the screen and not out of the control of the five Godly State experts.

Yet, the critical thing was…

The five-layered protective screen broke open at this moment!

Everything fell in place so nicely, from the attack of Fang Zhengzhi to how Yun Qingwu landed in his hands, every segment was so surprisingly well-planned.

Be it the timing or the power of attack or the speculation, everything was calculated in a seamless manner that it was not sufficient to be described with the phrase ‘the sky and earth were astonished and the Gods were crying’.

“He did it, he really did it!” Ping Yang finally regained her senses after a temporary shock. Excitement, exhilaration, joy, all types of emotions struck her and she began to scream while jumping in joy because the strike was way too shocking.

It was not because it was a terrifyingly powerful strike but the “thoughts” that was behind it was so immensely powerful.

“You manage to catch me without exposing your identity or using the four Rebirth Dao techniques, not bad, you… finally won me once…” Yun Qingwu looked at the man in front of him. Instead of looking at the hand on her neck, she starred int Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes, hoping to see something from it.

Of course, Yun Qingwu successfully saw pride and excitement in his eyes.

Fang Zhengzhi was indeed very proud and excited, so much that his hand trembled.

He was so f*cking happy!

Fang Zhengzhi was genuinely happy, what other things would make him happier than being able to “lift” Yun Qingwu out of the surround of the five Godly State experts without him using the teleportation tactic of the Heavenly Rebirth Dao?

‘Genius, I am a genius.’

Wait a minute!

Should be called a wizard!

A wizard-like genius!

Hahaha…

Fang Zhengzhi laughed happily and was close to howling to the sky and pointing at the five Godly State experts, telling them, “I did not target anyone in particular, I targeted all of you because all of you suck!”

However, he did not forget to remain “humble” after hearing what Yun Qingwu said..

“Since hundred years ago, there has never been a word called “defeat” in my dictionary. As long as I have a sword, I can kill all the monsters and demons in the world. What do you mean by I finally won you, this… I seriously don’t understand it.” Fang Zhengzhi smiled uncontrollably as he said.

However, because of the black cloth on his face, Yun Qingwu was unable to see his expression clearly even if he smiled.

“As long as you have a sword, you can kill all the monsters and demons in the world?”

“There has never been a word called “defeat” in your dictionary?”

“Since hundred years ago…”

The disciples of the Human Alliance and the five Godly State experts, as well as the injured Mo Shanshi had their eyes lit up when they heard Fang Zhengzhi.

They exchanged glances. Everyone wanted to scold him for being shameless but could not say it.

After all, it was Meng Tian, the Sagely Battle God who was a legend that once stood at the peak of the humankind.

Moreover, he had just defeated five Godly State experts by himself and caught Yun Qingwu.

Therefore, how would it be shameless for him to say that?

As for the Godly State experts…

They had really lost this battle without any reasons. Despite the collaboration of the five of them, they lost.

However…

Did he really have to be so arrogant?

As this thought went through the five Godly State experts’ minds, they clenched their fists and veins popped out from their faces.
