Chapter 881: Fang Zhengzhi’s Principles

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Fang Zhengzhi did not spend too much time pondering over this question. After all, he was someone with principles. In order to stick to his principles, even though he knows that the path ahead was difficult, he had to brace it and continue moving forward.

For example, he had risked the dangers and stolen the penta-coloured wonder flowers in front of Ling Yun Tower under Qian Ye’s nose.

Because he had stolen the penta-coloured wonder flowers, he was still alive and standing here.

Although he was not sure whether the changes in his Small Dimension was related to the penta-coloured wonder flowers, he saw the penta-coloured wonder flowers surround the golden fruit of the Tree of God in his Small Dimension.

As an ancient saying went, ‘There is no such thing as too much treasures. The more the treasures, the more protection they provide.’

The valuable experiences and lessons of ancestors taught him to never be merciful and never be a coward. He had to complete his task with rigor.

As for how rigorously...

Fang Zhengzhi felt that those were details that were not important for now. After all, Yan Yin’s blood-curdling scream that came from above his head was ear-piercing.

“Ah...”

Pfft! Yan Yin spat out a mouth of blood. It was evident that Yan Yin was extremely desolated. Not only was his white robe torn and tattered, but his arm was also broken and his face was pale with a little bit of purple radiance.

“Pathetic...” Fang Zhengzhi sighed. Yan Yin’s pathetic state taught him another lesson: if one tries to be the hero when one was not capable, one would usually end up in a pathetic state.

Of course, after sighing, Fang Zhengzhi decided to quickly settle the matter on his hands. To put it frankly, this precious amount of time was exchanged using Yan Yin’s life.

He could not afford to waste too much time.

Therefore, after he figured out his thoughts, his left hand subconsciously reached forward to the position that was one inch beneath Yun Qingwu’s neck.

Yun Qingwu, upon seeing Fang Zhengzhi stretch out his hand, blushed and moved slightly.

“There are really three Heaven Dao Sage Tablets?” Fang Zhengzhi was slightly nervous too. As his hand approached the collar of Yun Qingwu, his palms began to sweat.

After all, in the past, he had always touched some areas unknowingly. However, this time round, he was doing it on purpose.

“Hmm...” Yun Qingwu clenched her teeth and gave an expression that made her look as if she was unafraid of death.

“Then I shall just proceed?” Fang Zhengzhi said again. This was a method to divert attention so as to hide his nervousness.

“Can you... hurry?” Yun Qingwu stared at the approaching finger and her body started shaking more violently. Eventually, she decided to close her eyes and began to ask Fang Zhengzhi to hurry.

Of course, Yun Qingwu wanted to deal with this quickly. However, when she said that sentence, the atmosphere felt a little strange.

“I want to hurry too, but the collar of your dress is too tight?” Fang Zhengzhi grumbled as he saw Yun Qingwu’s dress collar sticking to her body.

Hearing this sentence, Yun Qingwu blushed again and even her eyelashes started trembling non-stop.

Afterwards, Fang Zhengzhi saw Yun Qingwu lower her body towards the front as though she was hunching over.

“...” Fang Zhengzhi’s hand stopped immediately and his body froze. That was because Yun Qingwu’s action caused his gaze to land on the spot while she hunched.

It was a relatively good ‘scenery’!

Fang Zhengzhi was someone who was good at discovering beautiful things. Yet the ‘scenery’ in front of him was a rare sight, especially since it was so up close.

“Cough cough, steal the treasure!” Fang Zhengzhi reminded himself quickly and his expressions became serious.

Without hesitation, he reached out his hand and touched the spot where Yun Qingwu hunched over at. Then, with his hands trembling, he reached down.

“Got it!” Very quickly, Fang Zhengzhi felt a smooth hard object that was slightly warm. If he had guessed correctly, it should be the pendant Yun Qingwu was talking about.

He had successfully got three pieces of Heaven Dao Sage Tablets!

Fang Zhengzhi did not bother to be too courteous nor cared about whether there were any other things in the pendant apart from the three Heaven Dao Sage Tablets and gave the pendant a pull.

What a rare chance to take advantage of Yun Qingwu, he definitely would not be too cultured.

After all, as the Demon Young Lord and Young Empress of the monster race, there ought to be more than the three pieces of Heaven Dao Sage Tablets inside the pendant.

He struck the lottery!

A windfall!

Wait a minute!

Something was amiss!

As he pulled the pendant, he suddenly had a bad feeling about it, as though he had been caught by someone.

Too easy, everything was too easy.

However, was handling matters with Yun Qingwu supposed to be so easy?

“Oh no!” Fang Zhengzhi subconsciously wanted to retreat but it was too late. When he pulled the pendant out, a beam of silvery white light shot out from the pendant.

It was not too bright, but like tens of thousands of star lights, it exploded immediately after it was shot out of the pendant.

At such a close distance, it was impossible for Fang Zhengzhi to dart. His chest, arms, legs were all struck by the exploding silvery light.

Boom!

Fang Zhengzhi’s body flew like a stream of light towards the sky. His Traceless Sword fell on the floor due to the impact of the silver light.

This happened too suddenly, such that Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi was unable to warn Fang Zhengzhi.

“What’s going on?!”

“This brat... Got tricked!”

Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi’s facial expression changed drastically.

At this point, Yun Qingwu gradually opened her eyes. Light flashed past her eyes and she was no longer trembling like before.

However, her face was still red and her chest was still moving up and down. It looked incompatible with her calm expression.

However, that was no longer important.

The important thing was, Fang Zhengzhi was sent flying and Yun Qingwu naturally regained freedom.

The ten elder of the demon race who were standing nearby reacted quickly.

At the instant when the silver light shone, they had already moved. None of them gave chase to Fang Zhengzhi and without giving any thoughts, they surrounded Yun Qingwu.

Clearly, in the ten elders of the demon race’s eyes, Yun Qingwu’s safety was more important than anything else. It was even more important than killing Fang Zhengzhi.

“Both your success and failure stems from the treasure. This must be your weakness?” Yun Qingwu glanced at the “flying” Fang Zhengzhi and touched her collar with her right hand. Then, her calm expression changed and her right hand froze.

“So painful!” Fang Zhengzhi’s voice could be heard. Meanwhile, his body stopped moving in midair and he opened his palms. A pendant glowing with silvery white radiance was in the middle of his palm, still slightly warm to touch.

Based on distance, Fang Zhengzhi was currently at a position that was exactly between Monster Emperor Baizhi and Yun Qingwu. Of course, it could be said that he was caught in the center between Yun Qingwu and Monster Emperor Baizhi.

However, this did not matter as long as he got the pendant.

Injuries were nothing to be afraid of!

What was worth being afraid of was getting injured and losing the treasure.

Fang Zhengzhi was a determined person with strong beliefs. His stubborn belief allowed him to hold on tight to the pendant even at times of crisis, refusing to let go until his death.

“You...” Yun Qingwu was stunned.

She never expected Fang Zhengzhi to release his grip on the pendant when he realized he got tricked or when silver light rays shot out of the pendant.

What kind of stubbornness was that?

It was simply unbelievable.

After all, by right, any person who was in the correct state of mind would stay away from the pendant in that situation. Who would hold on to something “dangerous”?

But...

Fang Zhengzhi did.

“Will there really be three pieces of Heaven Dao Sage Tablets in this pendant?” Fang Zhengzhi touched the pendant and kept it in his heart protection mirror.

“Return it to me!” Yun Qingwu’s calm expression changed when she saw Fang Zhengzhi keeping her pendant. Even her voice trembled as she spoke.

“Yun Qingwu, even you can also be so naive?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled and looked at Yun Qingwu with disdain.

Yun Qingwu gritted her teeth in anger, her eyes showing intense fury.

As predicted by Fang Zhengzhi, there were really three pieces of the Heaven Dao Sage Tablets in her pendant. She did not lie about it.

After all, she was not sure if Fang Zhengzhi would check the contents of the pendant when he first touched it.

Yun Qingwu’s plans were very well-thought out. Because she was meticulous, she would not allow any loopholes in her plans.

Therefore, her plan was naturally built on the real Heaven Dao Sage Tablet.

Yet she did not expect Fang Zhengzhi to not release his grip on the pendant even after he was injured by it.

...

Fang Zhengzhi obviously did not think the same way as Yun Qingwu did. How would he let go of the treasure that he had already got on hand?

The pendant!

Even if there were no Heaven Dao Sage Tablets in it, it was still a pendant.

To be worn on Yun Qingwu’s neck, the pendant was definitely not an ordinary pendant. At the very least, it was a protective treasure.

Fang Zhengzhi thought that he would be a real fool if he had immediately released his grip on the pendant when he was attacked. He did not have an ordinary thinking.

Without any delay, after he had kept the treasure into his heart protection mirror, Fang Zhengzhi’s body also shot out beams of gold light rays.

In a blink of an eye, his entire body was surrounded by golden light. His injuries caused by the silver light was healed extremely quickly.

Soon, the golden light disappeared and he tightened his grip on the Traceless Sword.

Boom! At this moment, a loud thunderous sound was heard above Fang Zhengzhi’s head. Following that, a figure fell from the sky.

It was Yan Yin.

Yan Yin had evidently suffered severe injuries. His entire body was stained with blood and his broken arm drooped beneath his body.

“Fang Zhengzhi, watch out!” Yan Yin warned Fang Zhengzhi with a weak voice as he “passed by” Fang Zhengzhi.

Before Yan Yin’s voice ended, a black figure appeared above Fang Zhengzhi’s head. It was a gigantic black shadow that blocked the entire sky and the sunlight.

Monster Emperor Baizhi had arrived!

With lightning surrounding her body and the violent waves of movements from her fox tails, she pounced on Fang Zhengzhi from above, her two claws glowing with radiance.

“Hurry, stop Monster Emperor Baizhi!” Mu Qingfeng saw Monster Emperor Baizhi’s arrival and became extremely anxious. If Monster Emperor Baizhi re-entered the 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation, all his hopes would perish and Nangong Hao would be under Monster Emperor Baizhi’s control again.

“You are not killing the elder of the demon race?” Fang Zhengzhi pouted. Sometimes, he really could not understand what was in Mu Qingfeng’s “fickling” mind.

One moment he wanted others to kill the elder of the demon race, and another moment he wanted others to block Monster Emperor Baizhi. Want to talk so much, why not have the guts to block the attack by himself?

He was injured?

Does it mean he could give orders because of his injuries?

Fang Zhengzhi had some disdain for Mu Qingfeng. However, as someone who cared about the “big picture”, the raging “righteousness” in him forced him to act as he could not bear to see Monster Emperor Baizhi create trouble.

He moved his left hand.

Golden light surged from his hand, caught Yan Yin and wrapped around him. Meanwhile, the Traceless Sword in his right hand shone with purple light.

“Get off!” Fang Zhengzhi roared while a beam of purple sword light shone. Without hesitation, he attacked Monster Emperor Baizhi’s head.

Humm! The humming continued as the purple light twirled around the sword.

Although this attack did not look as if it caused a lot of disruption, behind the purple sword light, the space had been completely sliced into half and a long black gap was created.

“This brat, still choosing to make a head-on confrontation?!” Mo Shanshi’s expression changed and his eyes widened. He did not know what was Fang Zhengzhi’s capabilities like, but he knew that Monster Emperor Baizhi probably deliberately retreated in the previous round during Fang Zhengzhi’s attack.

In other words, whether Fang Zhengzhi had the capability to battle with Monster Emperor Baizhi...

Was still a big question mark.

Could he win?
