The ignorant could be fearless. However, there should be a limit to that. For example, the woman was clearly someone that even Yan Qianli and the Emperor feared.
Even a fool would know the consequences of attacking this woman.
Was Fang Zhengzhi a fool?
No one would think so. However, he had taken action against the woman. Furthermore, he did so without any hesitation the moment he landed.
In everyone's eyes, Fang Zhengzhi had always been a person who was terrified of death. However, his actions were baffling at times.
It would be erroneous to say that he was not afraid. He was always hiding at the back of the army during a war and would never volunteer for a dangerous mission.
Though it would be wrong to say that he was a complete coward as well.
In the battle of the Southern Region, Fang Zhengzhi had once fought half-saint Can Yang alone. Just a few moments ago, he even defeated Demon King Xieluo.
Ping Yang once again smiled. She had no idea what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking about, though she knew that this attack had saved her life.
The woman had released her hands from Ping Yang's neck.
That was because this attack was extremely fast.
It reached the woman in an instant.
As she stared at the incoming lightning, she did not dodge. Instead, she stuck out two fingers of her left hand and flicked at the attack casually.
Clink! A crisp sound echoed through the area.
It sounded metallic, as though two metal objects had crashed into each other. This was unbelievable as the lightning bolt attack could not have been metallic in nature.
However, the metallic clang was heard by everyone in the area.
She dared to take Fang Zhengzhi's attack with just two of her fingers?
This was a shocking scene.
Everyone stared dumbfounded at the woman. They knew for sure that the woman was powerful. However, it still sent shivers down their spine when they saw her might with their own eyes.
However, after this crisp sound. The woman frowned slightly. She seemed surprised and her right hand lifted ever so lightly.
Her right hand merely made a small action before returning to its original position. Her left hand then continuously flicked at the attack as though she was playing a game.
She flicked at the attack at an insane speed. As that happened, the woman took a step backward.
Finally, the sound stopped and the attack lost its brilliance.
"She really blocked it?"
"She blocked Fang Zhengzhi's attack with merely two fingers?"
"How is this possible?"
The Mountain Breaking Army and Yan Cloud Calvary stared at the disappearing brilliance and glanced back at the woman. Their eyes were filled with horror and awe.
It was shocking that someone could defend against Fang Zhengzhi's attack in this manner.
However…
Something unexpected happened. Just when this attack was dispelled by the woman, the second attack by Fang Zhengzhi arrived.
"Fang Zhengzhi, you cannot!" Yan Qianli's voice rang. When Fang Zhengzhi released his first attack, he did not stop him from doing so.
This was because he would have taken the initiative if Fang Zhengzhi had not.
However, another attack?
Yan Qianli had to stop Fang Zhengzhi. This was because this attack was completely uncalled for and would result in unthinkable repercussions.
The woman similarly did not expect a second attack to come from Fang Zhengzhi. Furthermore, it was clearly done without any hesitation and with more fervor.
"How brazen of you!" The woman's arrogant voice echoed through the night sky. She had the presence of a God overlooking upon the mortals.
However, she was still unable to stop the incoming attack.
The lightning imbued attack quickly charged towards the woman. It was stronger and faster than the first one, shining more radiantly and dangerously.
The woman frowned and fixed her gaze upon the attack. She then lifted up her right hand in preparation.
This time around, she opened both palms to welcome the incoming attack.
Boom!
A crack appeared on the ground beneath the woman's feet. With her as the center, fissures opened around the ground and spread across the area.
Following which, she retreated for a few steps. Her purple long dress had already been torn from this attack, revealing a pair of slender legs.
She seemed completely different from the time when she was blocking the first attack. Although she had used both her hands this time around, she took a total of ten steps backward before she stabilized herself.
Alas, the second attack was also dispelled.
The woman had successfully used her hands to defend against Fang Zhengzhi's second attack, though she had suffered multiple cuts on her hands. Blood trickled down from her palms.
It dripped onto the ground.
This happened extremely fast.
It merely took the blink of an eye from the time Fang Zhengzhi placed the Demon Pearl into Ping Yang's mouth to the time he unleashed two attacks.
By the end of the intense moment, the woman had been separated from Ping Yang. Her luscious black hair fluttered in the night breeze. It seemed to have gotten damp in the rain when she was blocking the second attack.
It was quiet, sinisterly quiet.
Everyone turned to look at the woman. She no longer had a calm expression on her face. Her chest heaved slightly.
Everyone was waiting for her to speak.
At that moment, Fang Zhengzhi moved. He took his time and walked slowly towards Ping Yang.
"Fang Zhengzhi, you shameless fellow…" Ping Yang stared at Fang Zhengzhi as he moved. She adored his determined expression.
She suddenly felt a peculiar feeling. It was a feeling that could not be put into words. However, it felt extremely warm, so much so that she could forgive his previous brazen actions almost immediately.
Fang Zhengzhi then slowly hugged Ping Yang. This time around, he was extremely careful, lifting her up gently from the ground.
He then turned to look at the woman.
"How dare you, kill that whom I saved?"
Fang Zhengzhi spoke in a calm manner, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear it.
"How dare you, kill that whom I saved?"
What an arrogant statement. It was a form of arrogance and brazenness that came from the heart.
Everyone was startled upon hearing those words as they repeated them in their heads. They turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi in shock. Fang Zhengzhi, the man whom they thought was a coward.
"You are courting death!" The woman's gaze became stone cold at that moment. Her hair fluttered ferociously in the wind as her delicate features were covered in a thin layer of ice.
Following which, the woman moved.
The entire space seemed to distort when she made her move. The falling rain was vaporized instantly, turning into trails of white mist.
Time seemed to have stopped.
The woman stepped onto those trails of white mist lightly as she moved towards Fang Zhengzhi. A spot of light appeared on her hands.
It was an unassuming spot of light. However, when everyone saw that spot of light, they felt as though their bodies were submerged into the depths of the chilling abyss.
"No!"
"Fang Zhengzhi be careful!"
At that moment, two voices rose simultaneously. Following which, a crimson red figure appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang.
It was Yan Qianli.
When Fang Zhengzhi unleashed the second attack, he had already taken action.
Wu Yuer was the second person. She had been close to the both of them all this time, which allowed her to react quickly to the situation.
"Courting death as well?" A cold glimmer flashed across the woman's eyes as she stared at Wu Yuer and Yan Qianli. She did not intend to stop as she shouted, "I will fulfill your wishes!"
"Cang Yue, stop!" At that moment, a voice could be heard from the castle wall. It was clearly a frail voice, though it was authoritative and penetrative.
She then lifted her head to look at the castle wall.
Lin Mubai, clad in his golden dragon robe, was staring at the woman while supported by Chen Feihua. There were countless Dragon Protection Squad and Royal Guards behind him.
"You have finally arrived. Alas, it is all too late!" She once again turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi and the people blocking her way. The light spots in her hand split into two, before splitting into four, duplicating at an insane rate.
In an instant, that unassuming light spot had become countless light spots circling around her hand.
They looked like the stars!
The same stars that emerged from Ping Yang's pendant.
However, these stars were clearly different from those that Ping Yang had. This was because this woman could control these stars as she wished.
Yan Qianli's expression paled, though he stood rooted to the ground. He then released a crimson aura that rose to the horizon.
At the same time, his palms motioned quickly and generated a crimson cloud in front of him.
Wu Yuer's expression changed as well. Her seductive eyes became extremely serious as her hair fluttered. Her black dress danced maliciously in the wind.
She was also staring at the woman like Yan Qianli. However, instead of casting a skill, her hands were pressed tightly against her waist.
