Chapter 462: Fight to the death
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
It was about to end...
Everyone was tense. They knew that the result of the battle hinged on this clash.
The three figures were extremely quick.
They surrounded Canyang in the blink of an eye.
However, Canyang didn't move. He simply stared ahead with those blind, lifeless eyes.
Then, the three figures melded into one.
A sword, a palm, and a fist.
The blade was aimed at Canyang's forehead but ended up hitting Canyang's shoulder, drawing blood.
The palm...
Came from the side.
This was the attack of the battle-hardened Xing Yuanguo. He didn't aim for the back, thighs, or butt...
He went straight for the jugular.
However, he ended up hitting Canyang's chest. "Kacha," there was a dull sound of bones breaking.
As for the punch...
That was from Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi's attack was significantly less lethal, but it promised severe pain.
Fang Zhengzhi targeted Canyang's face.
This attack...
Was meant to put Canyang in even more pain.
Preferably, he wanted to knock out a few of Canyang's teeth too.
However...
His punch was blocked by Canyang's palm.
Did it hit the mark?
No...
"This is targeted! He is targeting me!" Fang Zhengzhi thought to himself when his attack was blocked.
He was the fastest...
Yet...
His attack was the only one which had been blocked.
More importantly, he saw that Canyang's other palm was headed for his privates at lightning speed.
Fang Zhengzhi's heart shuddered.
Canyang was clearly out for revenge. He was willing to take the hits from Nangong Hao and Xing Yuanguo just to hurt Fang Zhengzhi.
This was not a fight Fang Zhengzhi wanted.
He snapped his legs shut.
Fang Zhengzhi would never let Canyang's attack hit. He would rather die than be hit in that spot.
Because...
This was his move.
"Watch out!"
Just at that moment, Xing Yuanguo's voice rang out by his side. It was so loud that it caused Fang Zhengzhi's ears to ring.
Fang Zhengzhi knew that Xing Yuanguo was warning him, but he had already seen Canyang's attack.
He...
Should be in the clear?
At that very moment, a radiant ray of golden light shot out in front of him. It was like a sun ray...
It was much brighter than the Light of the Sage from before. It stained the entire sky golden.
"Fang Zhengzhi!"
A voice filled with rage echoed through the air.
Fang Zhengzhi felt that something was amiss. He hesitated and prepared to escape. After all, Canyang was targeting him.
But it was too late...
Fang Zhengzhi felt something pressing on his chest.
The chest...
Was to humans like the demonic eye was to the demons.
He lowered his head and saw a palm at that position. He was shocked. This palm should not be there...
Could it be that Canyang's attack...
Was just a feint?!
A bead of sweat rolled down Fang Zhengzhi's forehead. He finally understood what Canyang kept dodging...
Experience counts...
Fang Zhengzhi knew exactly what the meant, but he never expected that a Sage had to resort to such tactics.
Especially not a Sage who had been humiliated.
How could a Sage possibly tolerate it?
Fang Zhengzhi had underestimated Canyang's tolerance...
Canyang...
He had hidden in the shadows for countless years before Yun Qingwu found him. His tolerance was something that an ordinary person would never understand.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion rang out.
A golden column of light shot skyward, shattering the tornado.
"Sh*t!" Nangong Hao spat out a mouthful of blood. He continued to have a hold on his sword, but he had been thrown to the side.
Everyone was blown away...
Including Xing Yuanguo.
He had retreated very quickly, but the golden light had still hit him in the chest. The sound of bones breaking caused him to pale.
Canyang...
A Sage...
He had been able to keep his cool despite the humiliation! He had managed to find a way to take all the hits before finding a method to defeat them all.
This was something that Fang Zhengzhi had not calculated.
Xing Yuanguo was forced back...
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to retreat as well...
However, Canyang had a firm grasp on his fist, the lifeless eyes staring straight into his soul.
At that moment...
Countless thoughts flashed through the mind of Fang Zhengzhi.
Back when he had been restrained by Canyang, his life had flashed before his eyes. He had one foot in the grave then.
Now, his death warrant had been signed.
"He wants to kill us both?!" Fang Zhengzhi felt a powerful force at his chest.
He had no other choice.
If he did not strike back now, he would be accepting his death.
He had to fight!
He grit his teeth and ignored the palm at his chest. He raised his other fist and threw a punch at Canyang.
There was only one thought going through his mind.
Hit Canyang!
"Bang!"
The strike was solid and clean. It landed on Canyang's chest, causing multiple bones to break, but Canyang did not move.
He continued to stare at Fang Zhengzhi.
He allowed Fang Zhengzhi to pummel him.
The Light of the Sage was bright.
It was almost as bright and hot as the sun at noon. It stained the sky golden...
Fang Zhengzhi squinted.
He could feel the golden Light of the Sage closing on him, almost as if it wanted to absorb him.
The burning sensation around his body intensified. He felt like he was more powerful than ever before.
But...
At that moment, he felt a sense of danger...
This was a danger that he had never experienced before.
Sage.
Is this the power of a Sage?
Despite all the Fruits of Dao he had eaten, despite being in control of The Vast World... he couldn't defeat a Sage.
He wasn't willing to accept this!
No matter what the result was going to be...
Fang Zhengzhi decided to lay out all his chips. He had no more tricks up his sleeves. He had already used The Vast World and the Fruits of Dao.
Right now, he was only moments from victory.
He had to give it his all!
Fang Zhengzhi clenched his fists. He was ready for his last stand. He would use up every last ounce of his energy.
"Ah! Go to hell!"
He bellowed.
Then, a strange ray of purple light shot to the sky. It could be seen clearly through the Light of the Sage. This column of purple light was surrounded by rays of light of other colors.
Red, blue, green, yellow...
"Kaboom!"
At that moment, the ground split open as spider web-like cracks began to spread in all directions.
The heavens also began to shudder.
The cracks also began to spread in the sky, the darkness swallowing much of the light.
"What's happening?!"
"What is this?!"
"Could it be..."
The demons were all shocked by what was happening.
Even the soldiers of the joint forces were stunned. Everything had happened too quickly.
They didn't even have a chance to recover.
What happened?
What was the result?
No one knew...
They only saw the purple column of light inside the golden Light of the Sage.
Right now...
The ground had begun to shake as columns of dust and rock were sent flying into the sky. The trees, walls, and bodies began to rise...
"Could it be..."
"The Vast World has crumbled?!"
"Not good!"
When the soldiers of the joint forces realized what was happening, they turned to look at the two battling figures.
However... the two figures had disappeared.
To be more precise...
They were surrounded by a cloud of dust.
The golden Light of the Sage and that strange purple light had disappeared.
A ray of silver light shone at where the two figures were standing. Then, there was an explosion of light.
The tree became transparent...
Then disappeared...
This was followed by an earthquake...
There was a tsunami made of sand at the epicenter of the silver light. It spread in all directions like a ravenous monster swallowing everything in its way...
