Having had the high ground, Fang Zhengzhi's attack was incredibly quick.

By the time his voice was heard, he was already through the blue light above Yun Qingwu's head. He was like an arrow...

As he landed on the ground.

"Plonk!"

Columns of dust shot skyward.

...

At that moment, the battlefield quietened down, almost as if gallons of water had been poured onto a raging fire.

In that instant, the fire was doused.

Everyone turned to look at the lone figure. Spears and blades were stopped in mid-air as they all looked on.

He looked embarra.s.sed, his blue s.h.i.+rt stained with dust, almost like a lost teenager.

"Fang Zhengzhi?!" Princess Shan Yu could not believe her eyes. She had thought that Fang Zhengzhi would not appear here.

Even if he did, he would not have appeared in such a fas.h.i.+on.

She knew for a face that Fang Zhengzhi was not one to take on the most difficult challenge. But, he had just challenged Canyang.

Canyang ah!

The one who wields the Heavenly Rebirth Dao!

Did he go to challenge Canyang? Where... where did he get this courage from?

Princess Shan Yu couldn't believe her eyes.

She wasn't the only one. Shan Ling and the other settlement chiefs were all in disbelief that a nascent Supernatural State cultivator would dare to challenge Canyang's authority.

Of course...

Fang Zhengzhi had not attacked Canyang directly. However, he had attacked Yun Qingwu right in front of Canyang.

This was equivalent to challenging Canyang!

All of the Southern Region soldiers looked at Fang Zhengzhi with conflicted expressions.

They admired his bravery, were terrified for him, and mocked his underestimation of his opponent.

Xing Yuanguo and Xing Qingsui were also looking at Fang Zhengzhi. After all, Fang Zhengzhi's voice was so loud and crisp that it was impossible for them not to have heard it.

Their disbelief was slightly different.

Xing Yuanguo and Xing Qingsui knew that Fang Zhengzhi was a maverick. As such, there was little that he could do to surprise them.

But...

Could he really go up against Canyang?

Xing Yuanguo and Xing Qingsui looked at each other, their eyes filled with anxiety.

Nangong Hao was not nervous, but he was shocked.

He was shocked that Fang Zhengzhi had just done something that even he would not do without much consideration.

...

Fang Zhengzhi had expected that his actions would attract the attention of many. He also knew that the battle would be paused because of what he did.

However... he did not expect it to be because he had failed so spectacularly.

Where did he go wrong?

Fang Zhengzhi could not figure it out.

However, he recovered quickly, spitting out the dust in his mouth and getting to his feet.

"I missed?" Fang Zhengzhi never expected that he would miss. After all, he knew Yun Qingwu's abilities quite well.

More importantly...

His attack was right on target!

Fang Zhengzhi tried to recall what had just happened. He remembered that his hand pa.s.sed through a blue light above Yun Qingwu's head.

At that moment, he added additional power to his attack.

He attempted to smash that blue light to smithereens. However, when he contacted it, he felt no resistance.

He had pa.s.sed through easily.

How exciting.

After all, Yun Qingwu was just inches away! He could almost taste her.

There was no reason to hesitate!

Fang Zhengzhi didn't hesitate, deciding to teach Yun Qingwu a lesson! He wasn't going to let Yun Qingwu speak this time!

He would knock her out!

That was his plan.

He was sure that if he could knock Yun Qingwu out, then the demon army would think twice about attacking.

He would be able to force them back!

This was a simple decision to make.

However, he never expected that his attack would miss and hit the ground!

What happened?

Fang Zhengzhi turned and looked behind. He thought that Yun Qingwu must have used some sort of secret technique to dodge his attack.

This was plausible, considering that she was the Young Master of the demons.

So...

Why wasn't she running away?

Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yun Qingwu.

Yun Qingwu was looking right back at him, her eyes glimmering as she stared him down.

"She's still giving me a chance?" Fang Zhengzhi was stunned. He knew Yun Qingwu's abilities well. Under most circ.u.mstances, she should be running away.

But, she wasn't.

What was happening?

What was even stranger was that even the blind, frail, old demon behind her wasn't running either.

More importantly...

None of the demons were moving.

In fact, all of them looked like statues, rooted to their spot. Not a single demon jumped to the aid of Yun Qingwu. Most of them even looked on in scorn.

What were they thinking?

Were they not worried?

"Are you trying to kidnap me again?" Yun Qingwu's voice interrupted Fang Zhengzhi's thoughts. Her voice was calm, like a breeze blowing over a lake.

Fang Zhengzhi's lips twitched.

He wanted to reply 'yes!', but, under the current circ.u.mstances, he found it difficult to give such a straightforward reply.

Fang Zhengzhi had been stabbed and subsequently kicked off a cliff by Yun Qingwu.

Logically...

He shouldn't feel any embarra.s.sment in admitting that he was here to kidnap her.

However, after she had dodged his attack and still didn't run...

It was a little embarra.s.sing for him to admit that fact.

"Qingwu, is he Fang Zhengzhi?"

Just as Fang Zhengzhi was contemplating his reply to Yun Qingwu, an aged voice rang out next to him.

The old man's voice was frail.

But, Fang Zhengzhi had heard an anomaly.

Qingwu?

Shouldn't he be calling her Young Master?

"Yes, master." Yun Qingwu replied without hesitation, answering Fang Zhengzhi's question instantly.

"Master?!" Fang Zhengzhi's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at Yun Qingwu's calm eyes and the empty eyes of the wrinkled, aged face behind her.

Then...

He looked at the expressions of mockery from the demon soldiers around him, as well as the perplexed expressions of the Southern Region soldiers, the Dragon Protection Squad, and the Mountain Breaking Army.

A thought flashed by in Fang Zhengzhi's mind.

"Never touch the old, weak, female, or young!"

The only time Fang Zhengzhi had felt pressure like this was when he was faced with another frail, old man.

That was King Liqin.

And now...

The old man in front of him exuded the same vibes.

He was frail and blind.

At that moment, Fang Zhengzhi finally understood why Yun Qingwu wasn't running. He also understood why the demons weren't coming to her rescue.

He also understood why Xing Yuanguo, Xing Qingsui, Princess Shan Yu, Shan Ling, and all the other soldiers were looking at him like that.

Most importantly...

He also understood why Yun Qingwu could stand in the middle of the battle but not be attacked by anyone.

Fang Zhengzhi raised his head.

He wanted to mount his winged beast and fly away, but the beast was now long gone.

He had to find a way to get out.

But, what was he going to do?

There was no way out.

"Hi uncle, how do you do? I am sorry for disturbing you, I must have gone to the wrong place... let me introduce myself. I am Fang Zhengzhi and I have always respected the elderly... if there is nothing else, I'll take my leave..."

Fang Zhengzhi could not even finish his sentence. He found himself rooted to the ground.

He couldn't move from his spot!

It was a strange feeling. It felt as though everything around him was different...

Almost as if it was being controlled by a greater power. The power was bending it to suit his will.

It was a strange feeling.

And Fang Zhengzhi was being trapped in a s.p.a.ce that he had no control over.
