Chapter 400: Supernatural

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to scream out loud. He had been maligned. He was just doing what any man would do in a dream, but it had resulted in tragedy.

Reality?

Dream!

He was just understanding a major Dao in the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet a moment ago. And now, he had been stabbed?

The change was too quick!

Anyone else in the same position would not have been able to differentiate dream from reality.

As such, Fang Zhengzhi"s actions were understandable.

Who hadn"t fantasized before?

Any normal man would know to control himself in the real world. However, why would he continue to hold back in a dream?

Fang Zhengzhi was a normal male, and he did something that any normal man would do. The only mistake he made was that the transition between a dream and reality...

Was too quick.

At that moment, Fang Zhengzhi had thought that Yun Qingwu had appeared in his dream. In fact, it was all real.

There was a very simple example to explain his situation.

Imagine that you dreamt of a beautiful lady, then, just as you were about to confess to her, you were woken. The first person you saw was your male roommate.

Then...

You couldn"t possibly be called a gay just because of that right?

Of course, only you would know if you were gay. But, at the very least, when you were about to confess to the lady, you were not!

Okay.

That was not the point. The main issue here was that Fang Zhengzhi was still bleeding and there were over 100,000 people staring at him.

No one was rus.h.i.+ng to save him!

He was bleeding!

Was the world so cold?

Weren"t humans supposed to work together against the demons? Weren"t they a team? Why are they all so shocked?

Haven"t they seen something like that before?!

F*ck!

Fang Zhengzhi finally understood that he could only truly depend on himself. Everyone below was useless.

He had two choices. He could fight Yun Qingwu on the cliff and kill her after an intense battle. Then, he would probably die for his wounds.

The humans would not react in time, and by that time, the demons would have responded.

The dozens of demon elites, Bai Xing, and Wu Ji were all rus.h.i.+ng to the top of the cliff.

What did they want?

There was no need to guess.

His second option was to escape and dress his wounds. Then, he would capture a few people to test their blood or get some sort of pill to heal himself.

There were so many people here anyway.

As an ambitious youth, he decided to choose the latter. This wasn"t because Fang Zhengzhi was afraid of dying.

The real reason was that he respected the ladies.

Mm...

After all, he had just molested this lady in front of more than 150,000 soldiers. To raise his sword and kill this lady right after would be vicious.

He could not bring himself to do it.

Even if the lady was the young master of the demons.

What did that have to do with him?

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to live a leisurely life. He had no interest in being involved in the battle between humans and demons, nor the battle between empires.

The only reason why he came to the Southern Region was to save Yan Xiu. If he could do well and rank highly in the court examination, that was a bonus.

Who wouldn"t want to win a prize?

That being said, he had no intention of sacrificing his life for that prize.

The only thing Fang Zhengzhi wanted to do was live. He did not want to kill the young master of the demons in front of so many people...

G.o.d knows how the demons in the Blood Shadow City would react!

Was he going to beg for protection?

Fang Zhengzhi had seen too much of this kind of situations in his previous world. The Emperor would be glad that he killed Yun Qingwu. There would be a huge celebration and he would be promoted and rewarded with silvers. Then, he would be left to fend for himself.

Protection? What kind of protection?!

Fang Zhengzhi could probably spend the rest of his life hiding out in the capital.

But what about the Northern Mountain Village?

His family was still there, and he had to think about his parents and the hundreds of villagers.

After all, if he really killed the young master of the demons, he would not put anything past them.

Fang Zhengzhi did not want to live his life in fear just for this moment of glory.

He decided to leave this glory for someone else.

At the very least, at his current power, he did not want to stick his hand into this hornet"s nest.

The main problem now was how he was going to ensure a safe retreat.

Turn and run? There were dozens of demon elites, as well as Bai Xing, chasing him down. Where was he going to run to? Fang Zhengzhi had to think of something easier.

He had to find a hostage. To be exact, he would take the most powerful demon here as the hostage.

"Tell them to stay where they are, all I will kill you where you stand!" Fang Zhengzhi growled ferociously.

"Kill me?" Yun Qingwu"s lips parted, her anger turning into mockery. Then, she raised the Spectre Sword in her hand.

The rain beat down on that white light as the sword continued to exude an icy aura.

The light flickered.

The target...

Fang Zhengzhi"s throat.

Fang Zhengzhi"s expression froze. He had thought that being this close to Yun Qingwu meant that he would be in a superior position to bargain.

After all, Yun Qingwu was the young master of the demons. However, Yun Qingwu didn"t even say much.

Kill me again?

No, is she courting death?

Fang Zhengzhi finally understood what Yun Qingwu meant. She may not be scared of dying, but she still had weaknesses.

For example.

"If you dare to attack again, I will strip you!" Fang Zhengzhi dodged to the side, then made it behind Yun Qingwu. He placed one hand on her throat, his other hand on her chest.

"Don"t you dare!" Yun Qingwu tightened her grip on the Spectre Blade. However, she still stopped moving.

If this was said by anyone else, she would never believe that they would go through with something so audacious.

But...

This was Fang Zhengzhi.

This was a person who had just touched her b.r.e.a.s.t.s moments ago in front of more than 150,000 soldiers.

She didn"t dare to move!

"Not only do I dare to do that, I dare to take it one step further!" Fang Zhengzhi had no intention of doing that, but he had to make a show of it. His hand slid down to Yun Qingwu"s skirt.

"Kaboom!"

Lightning shot across the sky, accompanied by thunder.

When Bai Xing, Wu Ji, and the other demon elites saw this, flames ignited in their eyes.

"Bai Xing! If you dare take one more step, I will kill Yun Qingwu!"

Just as the demons were about to quicken their pace, an icy voice pierced through the sky.

Flames continued to burn in Bai Xing"s eyes.

But, he stopped.

...

Yun Qingwu"s dress began to dance in the wind. Her face was pale, but she was smirking.

She was determined not to back down.

"Fang Zhengzhi, you can forget about trying to humiliate me further!" Yun Qingwu"s voice was cold, almost as if she had come straight out of h.e.l.l.

"You want to commit suicide? Sure! But, even if you die, you will not be able to stop me from doing what I want to do. I will strip you naked, then, in front of all the soldiers, I will... hehe, you are the young master of the demons right? Aren"t you afraid news of this will spread?" Fang Zhengzhi rarely saw such a look from a lady.

To be honest.

When he saw Yun Qingwu"s expression, he wanted to try and explain it all to her.

He wanted to tell her that he was having a dream. He did not really want to touch her.

But...

Who would believe him?

Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi could feel Yun Qingwu"s determination.

As such, he had to let Yun Qingwu know that even death would not stop him from humiliating her!

Fang Zhengzhi was betting.

He was betting on the fact that Yun Qingwu would not commit suicide.

If Yun Qingwu really committed suicide, he would definitely be hunted down by the demons. However, if he let Yun Qingwu off, he was bound to die.

Bet...

That was his only option.

He had used this tactic on Ping Yang before. Back then, even Ping Yang had given in.

However, Yun Qingwu...

Was a completely different person. This was a lady who wasn"t afraid to die.

"You... Fang Zhengzhi! You... even if I let you off today, do you really think that you will survive?" Yun Qingwu bit her lip as blood trickled from the corner.

She hesitated. After all, she was a member of the Yun Family, the current ruling family of the Demons. She could die, but she could not let her family name be tainted.

"From the moment you had Bai Xing attack me, did you want to let me live?" Fang Zhengzhi questioned.

"I..." Yun Qingwu went silent. If everything was traced back to the origin, it had all started from the moment she ordered Bai Xing to strike.

Furthermore, she knew why Bai Xing had failed.

Because...

She had failed too.

She had stabbed off to the side and missed his heart. Logically, she should not have missed at such a distance, but she missed.

Yun Qingwu had no idea what she was thinking. Perhaps her hand trembled, or maybe she knew that Fang Zhengzhi had a Heart Protection Mirror.

No matter what, she had missed the heart. That was why the blade hit home.

"How about we make a deal? Swear that you will not let the Demons hunt me down and I will let you go. How about that? Furthermore, as the young master of the demons, you should have some healing pills! Give me a couple! After all, we did spend some time together before!" Fang Zhengzhi laid out his terms.

After all, time was not on his side.

"Healing pills? Our time together?" Yun Qingwu had thought that she knew Fang Zhengzhi quite well. However, upon interacting with him again, she realized that it was impossible to follow his train of thought.

He was just threatening her a moment ago. Yet now, he was ready to talk terms, even bringing up their time together.

Most importantly, he was asking his enemy for healing pills?

Pills...

What were they?

"Yes, look at the amount of blood flowing out of my wound. I must stop it now, or... oh?" Fang Zhengzhi removed his hand from his chest.

Then, his gaze froze.

There was no more blood flowing out from the wound. Furthermore, the huge gash was healing at a rapid pace.
