Chapter 783: Never Let Go After Succeeding

“Shut up, you have no right to call our master by her name!” Cang Yue stared coldly at Lin Mubai before turning to look at Fang Zhengzhi.

“Fang Zhengzhi, haven’t you been calling for me to come out? I’m here now. What do you want?”

“Hehe, make a guess!” Fang Zhengzhi beamed as the purple light in his eyes became more active. Purple light was flowing all over his black armour.

Just as he had finished speaking.

Fang Zhengzhi made his move. A purple stream of light made its way to the earth at a blinding speed. It was rushing directly at Cang Yuan, who was looking up into the sky.

“Lady Cang Yue, be careful!” Green Jade and company had not expected Fang Zhengzhi to attack with such decisiveness.

Seeing Fang Zhengzhi’s impeding assault, Green Jade and company rushed instinctively to Cang Yue’s side. Their bodies glowed silvery-white as they enclosed Cang Yue in a protective circle.

The dazzling stars were brilliant indeed!

Cang Yue had not moved. Her only response to Fang Yuan’s approaching sword attack was to squeeze the silver light rays between the thumbs and forefingers of both her hands.

Whoosh!

Following the movement of Cang Yue’s hands, the continuous stream of silvery-white light formed by Green Jade and company lashed about like a large whip.

“Crack!” The Traceless Sword in Fang Zhengzhi’s hands had come into contact with the flowing stream of light. It was as if the sword had sunk into a muddy surface.

It was becoming more and more difficult for the Traceless Sword to slash downwards.

Fang Zhengzhi narrowed his eyes. He would never admit that his powers were weaker than Cang Yue’s.

In truth, he had noticed that the strange phenomenon occurring before his eyes had played out in the Jade Bamboo Region before.

Fang Zhengzhi was still baffled by it back in the Jade Bamboo Region but now that he had witnessed the silvery-white light stream created by Green Jade and company, he realised that he had his answer.

There was no way that Ling Yun Tower had so many people who had grasped the Dao of Starlight and could manipulate starlight with their fingers.

The only explanation for the phenomenon might lie in the fact that there was a secret that Fang Zhengzhi had not figured out yet.

The Jade Bamboo Region…

The galaxy and starlight!

Memories surfaced in Fang Zhengzhi’s mind. The biggest difference between the two was the fact that the Jade Bamboo Region transformed into the starlights that formed the galaxy.

Another thing he took note of was how the Jade Bamboo Region was deployed by the five disciples at Rebirth State who were guarding the gate, and the disciples who showed up afterwards just joined them directly. However, it was Cang Yue leading the disciples this time, in other words, she was forcefully changing the Dao techniques of Qing Yu and the rest.

That’s right!

The respective Daos of Green Jade and company had been changed!

Fang Yuan faintly recalled that when Green Jade and company had surrounded them, their bodies did not glow up but they had created a net-like formation.

Now that Cang Yue had appeared, Green Jade and company had their bodies light up as the starlight broke them out from the restraints of the Heaven Dao.

What was going on?

Fang Zhengzhi had some serious doubts in his mind but he continued to push his sword through the resistive layer of defence. He was certain that he would succeed eventually.

As long as…

He was strong enough!

Fang Zhengzhi was under pressure. He had already failed to destroy Ling Yun Tower. If he also failed to deal with Cang Yue, it would be an utter embarrassment.

He still had not managed to figure out how Cang Yue was resisting him.

Still, it did not mean that he would not be able to defeat Cang Yue. After all, it was possible to defeat ten skilled opponents if one was powerful enough!

“I will break you!” Fang Zhengzhi roared. The blade of the sword tilted to replace the slashing action with a piercing action. The tip of the blade was threatening to impale Cang Yue’s face.

“Retreat!” Cang Yue had turned pale and her eyes were glazed over with fear for a moment.

She barely managed to dodge Fang Zhengzhi’s attack as she moved backwards with heavy feet.

She shouted an order to her followers.

Everyone dispersed from the area with haste in one coordinated movement.

It was indeed a close shave for Cang Yue, Green Jade and company. It was all coming to an end.

Or was it?

Fang Zhengzhi continued to drive the Traceless Sword downwards. He had no intention of chasing after Cang Yue.

“Pierce!” The entire blade of the Traceless Sword slid into the ground. Fang Zhengzhi began to smile.

Fang Zhengzhi was sure that his Traceless Sword was not only able to break up the starlight formation, but also ensure that no one would escape its wrath.

This was true domination!

“Boom!”

The moment the sword entered the ground, crooked rays of purple light emerged from the ground. They numbered in the thousands and looked like a gathering of dragons.

It was the Hundred Dragon Slash!

“Ah!” A green-robes woman fell to the ground. Blood spurted from a gash that stretched from her thighs to her chest and stained her body red.

“Ah… ah…”

Screams filled the air as the other green-robed women collapsed to the ground and contributed to the growing river of blood.

The sight confounded Ping Yang and Lin Mubai.

Everything had happened so quickly from Cang Yue’s appearance to Fang Zhengzhi’s sword attack. Now, more than a dozen green-robed women lay severely injured on the floor.

Too fast!

Too furious!

One sword attack had eliminated more than a dozen disciples of Ling Yun Tower and forced Can Yue to retreat.

“There is hope!” Lin Mubai was beginning to see the light.

After all, he had waited a long time for this moment.

Once, he had pinned all his hopes onto Prince Li of the First Rank. However, Prince Li did not manage to achieve a breakthrough even after years had passed.

In the end, Prince Li’s body suffered tremendously from his efforts and died by the hand of Monster King Xieluo.

At that point in time, Lin Mubai had been devastated.

Still, he could not give up. Not when he had poured so much time and effort into the venture. Not even when hope was all but lost.

Later, he found another target.

Yan Qianli!

The “accidental” Prince Yan of Weatern Liang!

Also, there was another person that Lin Mubai did not trust completely. That person was Fang Zhengzhi.

That’s right. Lin Mubai had pinned his last hopes onto Yan Qianli and Fang Zhengzhi. However, after waiting for almost half a year, he received news about Fang Zhengzhi’s death.

Finally, Lin Mubai was unable to wait on anymore.

He was crushed. He had come to Ling Yun Tower for the sake of fetching Ping Yang away!

For the sake of the woman he had waited for for more than ten years. He had to fight on for that glimmer of hope.

Seven days!

He had stood before Ling Yun Tower for seven consecutive days!

He did not expect to see that woman and his only objective was to bring Ping Yang back to the Great Xia safely.

Nevertheless, he had no news for seven days. None about that woman and Cang Yue.

He could only wait, and wait…

Except that he did not have to wait any longer. Cang Yue had appeared and the lofty Ling Yun Tower was mired in a crisis.

Lin Mubai was looking forward to Fang Zhengzhi capturing Cang Yue.

He could see that after injuring the green-robed women, the crooked rays of purple light had begun to converge once more.

In a flash, they had gathered onto the blade of the Traceless Sword.

The Traceless Sword enlarged in a burst of purple light, becoming ten times its original size.

“Thinking of running away? You can’t!” Fang Zhengzhi had no idea how Lin Mubai was feeling at this moment. He only knew that he was not done with the Hundred Dragon Slash technique.

What goes out must return eventually.

The gigantic Traceless Sword thundered through the air towards Cang Yue, Green Jade and the other white-robed women.

“Boom!” Green Jade and the other white-robed women flew backwards and spat out mouthfuls of blood.

It was not only Green Jade and company whp suffered.

Cang Yue’s face had turned into a paler shade of white. It was as if she had applied a layer of frost onto her already icy-looking exterior.

“Kaboom!” A large crack appeared in the ground. It was caused by a heavy foot planting itself onto the ground. At the same time, Cang Yue lifted her head up and stared at Fang Zhengzhi in disbelief.

Half a year!

In only half a year!

How had he accomplished this? Not only had he entered the Sage State, he was also tremendously powerful. How did such a thing happen?!

Cang Yuan was unwilling to believe that this was happening, even though she had anticipated a possible defeat before she exited Ling Yun Tower.

She had thought that she would at least be able to match Fang Zhengzhi evenly and inflict damage on him. She had even expected to subdue him in not too long a time.

She never would have thought that she would be defeated so quickly!

She had been defeated?!

Had she really been defeated by Fang Zhengzhi?

While Cang Yue questioned herself relentless, Lin Mubai was asking himself similar questions.

A defeat?

Fang Zhengzhi had really defeated Cang Yue!

Lin Mubai had been looking forward to this but also felt a tinge of sorrow. It was enough to bring tears to his eyes.

As for Ping Yang, she was extremely happy. Her cheeks had turned red from the excitement. She felt a wave of emotions as she watched Fang Zhengzhi walk towards Cang Yue with his sword in hand.

Ping Yang blinked as the Traceless Sword bathed in its purple light. Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes were glowing purple as well.

Fang Zhengzhi was obviously unaware of all these. He only knew one thing, which was to take advantage of Ling Yun Tower’s current vulnerability and bring it to its knees.

He had succeeded!

He would never let go!

“Swoosh!” In a flash of blue light, Fang Zhengzhi appeared before Cang Yue with the Traceless Sword pointing at her throat.

“What now?” Fang Zhengzhi kept his eyes on Cang Yue. He did not smile.

“Hehe, I did not expect this… you really did it! You became a sage within half a year! I have truly underestimated you!” Cang Yue’s eyes twinkled. Silver light danced around her body.

“Finally. I had been waiting for this!”

At this moment, Lin Mubai’s voice rang out. A tear had escaped from the corner of his eye before he wiped it away.

“Cang Yue, you have lost. Do you remember what you said at the Flaming Capital City half a year ago? Tell me where Yu Er is, now!”

“I’ve said it before, Lin Mubai. You are not worthy of addressing our master by her name and will never be! Regardless of whether I win or lose, you, Lin Mubai, have no right to call her by name!” Cang Yue bit her lip as a look of amusement passed her eyes. She then turned to Fang Zhengzhi once more.

“I have indeed underestimated you, but do you think you might have underestimated Ling Yun Tower too?”
