Chapter 340: The Descended King

This didn’t imply that General Tai didn’t have sufficient combat experience. It only represented a temporarily blanked out mind after a powerful shock.

In cruder terms, his mind had cramped!

However, Fang Zhengzhi’s didn’t cramp. Hence, he naturally wouldn’t give up such an opportunity. His reaction was extremely fast. It seemed that he had already began preparing for his second shot right after his first arrow left.

In reality, the entire time General Tai stood rooted to the spot, he was already calculating rapidly how to deal with General Tai’s released state.

Actually, he had two choices.

One was to immediately run down the arena and shout for help, then hug on tightly to Princess Shan Yu and beg for her protection.

The second was to fight.

Fang Zhengzhi chose the second.

Because, even though the probability of the first choice succeeding was higher, it was filled with unknown variables. After all, this was the army camp of the Southern Mountain Range. What would Princess Shan Yu’s decision be?

What choice would the soldiers below make?

He simply didn’t know.

If he escaped rashly now and was surrounded by the soldiers, and if General Tai suddenly jolted back to consciousness and deliver a killing blow to him, he would very likely lose his life.

Fang Zhengzhi wouldn’t do things which were vague and out of his control.

Hence, Fang Zhengzhi drew back his bow again.

The Fiery Rattan Bow was instantly pulled into a full moon as green light began to condense rapidly. Then, it instantly shot out from the bow, carrying with it an air of sharpness, flying towards General Tai’s chest with lightning speed.

General Tai hadn’t even been able to completely return to his senses.

The second green lightsword reached him.

His tiger eyes suddenly flicked open. He had never imagined that Fang Zhengzhi would choose to take another shot after blocking his attack, instead of running away immediately.

This sudden change in situation was too fast.

So fast that he felt as if his mind couldn’t catch up.

From the moment he attempted to deliver a killing blow to Fang Zhengzhi to the moment the second arrow left Fang Zhengzhi, the entire process between these two moments occurred within the blink of an eye.

As he gazed at the second green lightsword nearing him, General Tai’s mind was completely blank. However, his arm instinctively raised up the huge black sword and blocked in front of his chest.

The power of the Supernatural Advanced State.

Even if he made a slight blunder due to his shock, his acquired and conditioned reflex still remained. Hence, his huge black axe blocked the path of the lightsword.

"Boom!" A bang resounded.

Rays of light shot out in all directions as General Tai instantly took two steps back.

"Little kid, die!" General Tai felt the numbness in his arm and the wound that opened up on his chest from the explosion. He was clearly enraged by Fang Zhengzhi’s actions. If Fang Zhengzhi turned around and ran, he really wasn’t sure if he could catch up.

However, Fang Zhengzhi didn’t run and instead chose to continue fighting.

This gave him a huge opportunity.

He knew very clearly that he could only choose to walk this dark path to the end. If he really allowed Fang Zhengzhi to run away, he would never be able to change his fate.

As he saw the second lightsword being successfully blocked off.

The trace of a cold smile appeared on the edges of General Tai’s lips.

However, his cold smile seemed to have somewhat frozen very quickly. Because, a feeling of being ripped apart suddenly came from his waist.

Lowering his head.

General Tai’s expression completely changed.

Because, at his waist, there were three to four lightswords. Furthermore, these were three to four lightswords that had completely exploded apart. Countless green lightswords tore open his flesh like small sharp blades.

Why are there so many lightswords?

General Tai couldn’t understand.

Don’t tell me...

His lightswords weren’t created from the Fiery Rattan Bow?!

General Tai had all along felt that the reason Fang Zhengzhi being able to block his attack was due to relying on Princess Shan Yu’s Fiery Rattan Bow. Hence, he had the unconscious notion that only with the Fiery Rattan Bow could he create the lightsword.

However, in reality, Fang Zhengzhi’s lightswords naturally didn’t depend on the Fiery Rattan Bow.

Fang Zhengzhi, who had decided to fight.

Would naturally not hold back, especially when his opponent’s state completely overpowered that of his own. Holding back would truly be asking for death.

The second lightsword...

Was only a feint.

This was the essence of the Stabilisation Constabulary battle technique. Fang Zhengzhi knew very clearly that General Tai didn’t understand the essence of such a technique. A fake move was a real one, a real move was a fake one.

The last three to four lightswords were Fang Zhengzhi’s real killing technique.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Numerous sounds of explosion rang out at almost the same time.

The entire drill ground arena began to shake due to these countless deafening sounds. The flags that stood at the edges of the arena were completely ripped into powder.

At the same time, a gigantic figure was sent flying from the arena.

Then...

Flying in the sky with a parabola trajectory, then finally slamming into the ground with a "thud!"

This sudden change in situation instantly shocked the soldiers below the arena once again. Just as they recovered from their anguished cries, they saw the scene that unfolded before them. All of their eyes opened wide in shock.

Even a few of the injured soldiers instantly forgot about the pain they were in.

"What happened?"

This was what everybody was initially thinking. However, this thought didn’t persist for long. Because, they quickly saw clearly the figure lying on the ground.

"General Tai?!"

"General Tai has fallen!"

"How.. how is this possible?"

How could the soldiers believe these.

If General Tai was defeated by Fang Zhengzhi with his state suppressed, even though that would cause them immense shock, they could still grudgingly accept it.

After all, that only meant that Fang Zhengzhi had won General Tai based on technique.

However...

Now, General Tai didn’t suppress his state.

He had the power of the Supernatural Advanced State, yet, he was sent sprawling on the arena by a small spy from the Great Xia? Is this possible? How can this be possible?

At this moment, Princess Shan Yu was completely stunned.

Even though she was a commander of the army, even though she had seen countless fantastic oddities of every description, but, it was still very difficult for her to accept what was unfolding before her.

General Tai was defeated by Fang Zhengzhi?

If such a thing was spread out, there was simply nobody who would believe it.

But, in reality...

This scene had unfolded right before her very eyes. It was truly real.

On the arena, General Tai’s waist was soaked with blood. That was a truly severe injury. Even if she wasn’t willing to believe it, she still had to admit that based on the rules of the competition, General Tai had already lost.

"Who is this guy? Who is he! How can he... can he... wait, what technique did he just use?!"

Princess Shan Yu tried her best to recall the huge green net on the arena.

Because, it was the huge green net that had blocked off General Tai’s killing blow. After which, two lightswords exploded on General Tai’s body.

Lightswords...

One lightsword could transform into a sword net built by millions of swords?!

"Could it be the... Million... Million Sword Illustration?! The secret technique of the Northern Desert Divine Constabulary from the Great Xia Dynasty Thirteen Constabularies... the Million Sword Illustration!"

In an instant, Princess Shan Yu thought of a name that caused her immense shock.

Chi Guyan!

That was the true Pride of the Heavens of the Great Xia Dynasty. The Double Dragon Roll Champion, Chi Guyan. A woman who even the Emperor of the Great Xia had to treat with respect.

"This guy is from the Divine Constabulary!"

However, the Divine Constabulary was location far away in the Northern Desert. This was the Southern Mountain Range. Why would a person from the Divine Constabulary appear in the Southern Mountain Range? Just as this thought crossed her mind, Princess Shan Yu suddenly thought of another incident.

No!

He isn’t from the Divine Constabulary!

A dazzling light suddenly flashed within Princess Shan Yu’s dark eyes. Because, she finally recalled the combat technique that Fang Zhengzhi had used against General Tai.

Stabilisation Constabulary!

Fang Zhengzhi had used the technique of the Stabilisation Constabulary, using offense for defence!

Previously, when Fang Zhengzhi had used that combat technique, she already felt that it was extremely familiar, as if she had seen or heard of it somewhere.

However, she didn’t manage to recall it.

Until the two words, Divine Constabulary, appeared in her mind, another name slowly began to form.

Head of the Thirteen Constabularies.

The Stabilisation Constabulary!

...

On the arena, General Tai was spread like an eagle on the ground. The excruciating pain from his waist caused his forehead to be filled with sweat.

Injury.

To a warrior from the Southern Mountain Range, this was simply something that was as normal as eating.

However, suffering an injury under such a circumstance, against such an opponent, had already caused the last bit of wisdom to vanish from his mind.

"Ah!" General Tai suddenly flipped over and stood up in the arena. At the same time, black fur, dense and needle-like, instantly filled his entire body.

At this moment, his pupils had turned completely green.

That was an icy green.

Even his huge arms at this moment puffed up by at least twice the size as a metallic luster appeared on his arms.

The Supernatural State was derived from terminal lucidity.

The practice methods of the Southern Mountain Range wasn’t the same as that of the Great Xia. However, when one reached the power of the Supernatural State, the control and recovery abilities that one had was almost on the same level.

The flow of blood stopped in a flash.

The flesh and muscles slashed by the Million Sword Illustration also began to recover rapidly with a speed that could be witnessed with one’s own eyes.

The strands of beard hair that filled General Tai’s face stood erect. He only had one thought in his mind. That was to kill. Kill Fang Zhengzhi. Regardless of any consequences, he still must kill Fang Zhengzhi.

"Enough, General Tai, I order you to stop!" Princess Shan Yu’s voice sounded out.

This caused General Tai’s body to tremble slightly. He could naturally discern the anger in Princess Shan Yu’s eyes. However, could he stop?

No!

If he stopped now, not only would it be difficult to calm her anger, the consequences would still be the same. Hence, he could only bet. Walk this dark road to the end and kill Fang Zhengzhi, then, wait to be demoted to a small pawn.

Then use his accomplishments to make up for his mistakes.

"Die!" General Tai’s eyes flashed with a faint light. His speed was at a maximum, shooting towards Fang Zhengzhi like a black shadow.

"Stop General Tai, quick, stop him at all costs!" When Princess Shan Yu saw this, she finally began to panic.

If Fang Zhengzhi was only an ordinary small spy from the Great Xia.

It would naturally be impossible for her to give such an order.

However, if Fang Zhengzhi had relations to the Stabilisation Constabulary and Divine Constabulary from the Thirteen Constabularies, then, it was impossible for him to be just any ordinary spy.

Even though she was still unable to determine Fang Zhengzhi’s identity.

One thing was for sure. Fang Zhengzhi must not die just like that. At the very least, she had to replace out Fang Zhengzhi’s purpose for appearing in her camp.

"Woosh!"

"Woosh!"

Almost at the exact moment Princess Shan Yu gave out the order, arrows began to streak towards the black figure on the arena. The meaning behind the phrase, "at all costs", was already too clear.

As soldiers from the Southern Mountain Range, they had to obey it no matter what.

However, General Tai’s speed was truly too fast. It wasn’t something an ordinary soldier could stop. In almost the blink of an eye, he had appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi.

"Die!" General Tai had confidence in his speed and strength. He felt that it was impossible for Fang Zhengzhi to dodge his attack.

Light radiated from the huge black axe in his hands, as if it was about to part Heaven and Earth.

Yet...

At the moment his huge axe slashed down, his eyes turned round once again.

Because, a purple light appeared in front of his eyes.

That was a sword.

A sword with a purple scar on its tip.

The sword was very ordinary. However, the scar on the tip of the sword gave off an arcane glow. That was an overwhelming murderous intent that caused trembling in the hearts of the people.

General Tai felt that his speed was already at a maximum.

However, the speed of this sword seemed to be even faster. At the very least, when General Tai slashed down with his axe, this sword had already successfully blocked in front of Fang Zhengzhi.

Naturally, Fang Zhengzhi didn’t hold the sword in his hands.

Because, Fang Zhengzhi had never imagined that there would be any use in pulling out the Traceless Sword. However, the Traceless Sword had shot out from his Heart Protection Mirror on its own accord.

Furthermore, it blocked in front of General Tai so quickly that Fang Zhengzhi himself didn’t have any time to react.

"Vrrr!"

The sword’s body shook lightly with a persisting dragon cry.

That was an ancient outraged roar, carrying along with it a powerful aggression. Yet, it was also like a demon that charged out from hell, carrying with it an icy chill and a penetrating sharpness.

Two different auras radiated from the body of the sword.

Even General Tai’s body trembled instinctively when he felt this atmosphere. It was the feeling of facing a King.

The King who descended upon and ruled the world, one who had wiped out outstanding heroes.

Domineering and arcane!

Trembling the hearts of the people.

The overwhelming aura pervaded the arena of the drill ground, and even completely filled the entire drill ground.

The soldiers below the arena had also seen the sword that appeared. What they felt was different from General Tai. Even though they were even further from the sword, their powers were weaker.

The domineering, arcane sword and the chilling air that seemed to have rose from hell caused them to be completely rooted to the ground, each of their foreheads beaded with sweat.

In just seconds, the rattan armour on their bodies had been completely soaked.

Beads of sweat fell to the ground.

The warriors of the Southern Mountain Range could face death without fear. However, they couldn’t remain standing tall and proud in front of a King.

"A sword?!" Princess Shan Yu’s body was also somewhat frozen. However, what she didn’t know was that under the pressure of this overpowering atmosphere, the blood-red cloud patterns on her body gradually began to appear.
