Chapter 341: Purple Crescent

Chapter 341: Purple Crescent

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Just like fireworks flashing in the night sky.

Extending slowly from Princess Shan Yu’s slender legs upwards. Lines of cloud pattern rapidly covered to her waist, without a hint of stopping even as it rose all the way up her chest…

On the arena of the drill ground.

General Tai didn’t understand why would he have such a feeling. Because, there was only a sword in front of him, a sword that drifted in mid-air.

He was shocked by a sword.

General Tai naturally wasn’t happy. Even though his body trembled, even though there was a strange feeling of danger in his heart, the huge black axe in his hand continued to slash down.

At this moment, the purple light suddenly expanded, turning into a crescent purple ray.

"Boom!" The entire arena opened up from the middle, slashed into two by the purple ray. The cracks didn’t stop there. They continued all the way until almost a hundred meters was covered.

At this moment, General Tai’s body sprang up, his body thrown into the sky as the huge black axe in his hand was split into two from the tip of the axe.

"Pfft…" Blood was spurt, spilling down from the sky and dripping onto the arena, at the same time dripping on the Traceless Sword.

The purple ray grew even more.

The arcane and icy atmosphere instantly expanded outwards.

Silence.

The entire arena was completely silent, even the sound of breathing couldn’t be heard. Only the biting cold of the almost-winter wind blew upon the shredded remains of the flag, giving off a hollow sound.

All the soldier stopped whatever they were doing. The soldiers that drew their bows continued to remain drawing their bows, the soldiers who held arrows continued to hold on to the arrows. Nobody moved. Because, it seemed as if they had already forgotten how to move.

Their movements were all different. However, the expression on their faces were the same.

Horror!

Shock!

Their bodies were completely soaked with sweat. However, not a single person attempted to wipe off the sweat that dripped down.

Because...

That air of death and destruction was like a murderous intent from hell. Even the warriors of the Southern Mountain Range felt a chill in their hearts when they felt it…

The cloud pattern on Princess Shan Yu’s body was as colourful as a raging fire at this moment. A faint glow flowed around on the cloud pattern. However, she didn’t speak a single word. She had already forgotten to give any further orders.

Or, it could be said that there was already no need for her to give any further orders. Because, Fang Zhengzhi had won. General Tai lay on the ground with the huge black axe split into two halves.

Also split into two halves like the huge black axe was an arm. An arm filled with blood.

The Supernatural Advanced State naturally enabled one to heal his body and recover from injuries. However, it didn’t have the ability to regrow a broken limb.

Hence, he had lost. He had completely lost.

At this moment, the Traceless Sword once again let out a delighted cry. The purple light gradually dimmed, congregating back onto the tip of the sword, turning into an arcane purple scar.

Fang Zhengzhi slowly wrapped his hand around the sword hilt of the Traceless Sword.

Even he was shocked by the immense power from the sword just now. He knew all along that the Traceless Sword had consciousness. But, he never thought that the Traceless Sword had such mysterious secrets.

However…

If he thought through it carefully, it seemed very normal.

Because, in the Throne Room, when the Traceless Sword was buried in the ground, countless high-ranking officials of the Supernatural State had tried to pull it out.

Yet, they weren’t able to do so.

This was actually able to explain to a certain extent that the Traceless Sword already possessed a power stronger than the Supernatural State. However, this power wasn’t something people could control.

At the very least, Fang Zhengzhi was currently unable to control it.

In the Northern Mountain Village, he had already discovered this. The power contained within the Traceless Sword was too mysterious, so mysterious that he sometimes didn’t dare to even touch it.

He kept the sword.

The purple light also disappeared.

Fang Zhengzhi looked at General Tai, who had fallen on the arena with an expression filled with terror, shock and disbelief, and then sighed gently. "If I said that I didn’t do this on purpose, would you believe me?"

General Tai didn’t speak. Instead, he gritted his teeth tightly.

"Alright, looks like you don’t." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head. Then, he turned his gaze towards the soldiers frozen in their tracks.

The art of form?

Alright…

Who knew that people of this world would also have such a hobby.

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t focus too much on the soldiers. Because, his gaze was quickly attracted to the cloud patterns that appeared on Princess Shan Yu’s body.

"Cloud pattern?" Fang Zhengzhi initially believed that the cloud pattern might be a physical result of the Southern Mountain Range training techniques. However, when he saw General Tai display his state.

He knew that he was wrong once again.

If he didn’t guess wrongly, the blood of the Southern Mountain Range was created by All Creation. For example, General Tai’s blood should be the blood of the Green-Eyed Steel Arm Ape.

However, based on this conclusion, the cloud patterns on Princess Shan Yu’s body…

What in the world is it?

Fang Zhengzhi’s gaze was tightly fixated upon the cloud patterns on Princess Shan Yu’s body, shifting from her leg, to her flat abdomen, then to her chest, then up towards…

Then, he saw Princess Shan Yu’s angry eyes.

Princess Shan Yu was indeed stunned by the scene that unfolded before her. However, this didn’t mean that she wouldn’t notice it if somebody blatantly swept their gaze all the way from her legs up to her head.

Just as she prepared to speak, she saw that Fang Zhengzhi had already bowed respectfully towards her.

"Princess, did I just win?" A faint smile formed on Fang Zhengzhi’s lips. His expression was completely innocent, as if his actions just now completely didn’t happen.

Princess Shan Yu flinched slightly.

The soldiers below the arena also regained their senses at this moment.

"Win?!"

"This small spy from the Great Xia actually won?"

"What was that sword just now all about?"

As the soldiers recalled that purple crescent, immense horror filled their eyes. A small spy from the Great Xia was actually able to have such great powers.

How could they not be horrified!

Princess Shan Yu listened to the discussion ongoing around her and turned silent. Fang Zhengzhi had indeed won. That was an undisputed fact. But, she couldn’t announce this fact.

At the very least, she couldn’t announce it on the spot at this time.

"Arrest General Tai!" Princess Shan Yu ordered as she glanced at General Tai.

"Roger!" A few soldiers instantly dashed on the arena and apprehended General Tai once they heard the order.

"I am a little tired, let me return to my tent to rest." Princess Shan Yu glanced at Fang Zhengzhi once more and prepared to turn around and walk towards the direction of her tent.

"Princess, is there any reward for winning? At least appoint me as a Tiger General or something. Hey… Princess, don’t go, if you can’t, at least appoint me as a battalion chief or something!" Fang Zhengzhi instantly shouted out.

"Dream on!" Princess Shan Yu replied without even turning back her head.

"How stingy, I thought I had met a good princess who appointed people by merit. I never expected her to be blind." Fang Zhengzhi twitched his mouth, slightly disappointed.

"What did you say?" Princess Shan Yu suddenly whipped back her head, anger flashing clearly in her dark eyes.

""I said, Princess is able to recognise talents, just like… Bo Le the Horse Connoisseur!" [1] Fang Zhengzhi initially wanted to describe Zhuge Liang of the army. However, he realised that such a person might not exist in this world. Hence, he quickly changed his words.

Bo Le the Horse Connoisseur?

Princess Shan Yu frowned slightly. Who was Bo Le? She didn’t know. However, she believed that whatever came out of Fang Zhengzhi’s mouth wouldn’t be anything pleasant.

"I am going back to my tent."

"Princess, at least reward me a plate of fruits?"

"..."

…

Fang Zhengzhi was given his own army tent with a layout that wasn’t too bad. He was rather satisfied to be given a separate room even with the status of a pawn soldier.

Especially when he saw the big baskets of fruits that Princess Shan Yu ordered for him, the complaints and grumbles in his heart instantly vanished into thin air.

Becoming an official was something that would come sooner or later.

Having things to eat…

Was the most important thing as of now.

As Fang Zhengzhi leisurely propped up his legs in the army tent and enjoyed his fruits, Princess Shan Yu’s tent was brightly lit up by the candlelight.

Twenty over generals dressed in sturdy rattan armour stood in two rows at the side with stern expressions on their faces. Nobody spoke. They waited quietly for Princess Shan Yu to speak.

"All of you have seen what happened today. If you have any opinions, please express them." Princess Shan Yu slowly sat up from the golden animal skin, an icy glint flashing in her black eyes.

"I have a daring guess which I don’t know if I should say!" When a general heard Princess Shan Yu’s words, he instantly stood out.

"Speak."

"In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, there are only two people who are able to defeat General Tai in the younger generation." After the general paused slightly, he spoke.

"Who?"

"Double Dragon Roll Champion, Chi Guyan, and the number one scholar of the Great Xia Dynasty, Nangong Hao!"

"But Chi Guyan is female! As for Nangong Hao… their ages don’t match." When Princess Shan Yu heard this, she instantly shook her head lightly.

"Yes, hence I made a daring guess that this person might not be from the Great Xia Dynasty at all. He claimed to be called Fang Zhengzhi. However, from the intelligence I received, Fang Zhengzhi simply didn’t even participate in this combat examination, hence naturally cannot appear in the Southern Mountain Range. Even if all these were possible, Fang Zhengzhi abilities are definitely not enough to defeat General Tai. Hence, there is only one possibility."

"What possibility?"

"The demon race!"

"The demon race? No, he definitely isn’t a demon!"

"Why is princess so sure? Even though noblelite and the demon race have made a treaty, that is still ultimately something between noblelite and the demon race. Princess has three thousand Silver Horned Wolves, if noblelite doesn’t trust…"

"You don’t need to speak anymore. If I say that he isn’t a demon, then he isn’t a demon!" Princess Shan Yu’s tone sounded extremely confident at this moment.

"Roger! I know my mistakes. However, no matter who this kid is, I feel that there is one matter which must be settled as soon as possible."

"Are you talking about the sword in his hand?" Princess Shan Yu’s expression gradually returned back to an icy calm.

"That’s right. I believe princess had already witnessed the power of that sword personally. If our Southern Mountain Range can obtain that sword, it would definitely be like adding wings to a tiger in this war!" The general instantly replied.

"That’s right. Princess, that kid is already in our camp. As long as you give the order, we can take him down in one move without even breaking a sweat." When another general heard this, he stood out as well.

"For the future of our Southern Mountain Range, Princess, please give the order!"

"Princess, please give the order!"

"Princess, please give the order!"

One following another, a few other generals stepped out as well, kneeling down onto the ground as they spoke. After a moment, almost all of the generals had walked out.

…

In the Southern Mountain Range, on an extremely ordinary looking mountain peak, at the entrance of a certain hidden mountain cave, four males wearing black robes were vigilantly guarding the cave.

Right at this moment, a black figure quickly sped towards them from the foot of the mountain. After a few effortless leaps, he reached the entrance of the cave.

"Is Domain Chief around?" When the black figure reached the entrance of the cave, he gradually came to a halt.

"What is it about?"

"Urgent military matters!" As the figure spoke, he tore off the mask on his face, revealing a faintly glowing demon eye on his forehead.

"Please enter." The four black robed males nodded as they stepped away from the entrance path.

The black figure rapidly entered the cave.

Within the cave, a dark red gem was glowing with a faint light. Under the cast of light, there was a face whose features were like that of stars.

On the forehead of that face, there was a blood-red demon eye.

Bai Xing, the Domain Chief of the Star Domain in the Ten Devilish Domains.

"Greetings Domain Chief!" The black figure walked until he was around twenty steps away from Bai Xing before swiftly kneeling onto the ground.

"Speak." Bai Xing spoke one word enthusiastically. His gaze remained on the dark-red gem in front of him. Within the gem, there was an illustration.

Within the illustration, there seemed to be human figures moving.

"In the camp of Princess Shan Yu, a Tiger General sent somebody to contact me." The figure placed a letter on the ground with both hands as he spoke.

"Tiger general? I know. I will task you to do this job." Bai Xing lightly nodded his head without even taking a single look at the letter on the ground.

"Roger, one more thing… I have another intelligence that I don’t know whether I should say." The black figure instantly accepted the order and kept the letter back into his pocket. Then, he spoke hesitatingly.

"Speak."

"Roger! A person suspected to be Fang Zhengzhi is now in Princess Shan Yu’s army camp." The black figure said.

"Fang Zhengzhi? Suspected?" Bai Xing’s expression changed slightly, as he slowly raised his gaze. Spots of star lights twinkled in his eyes like constellations in the night sky.

"Yes, however, because I didn’t witness it personally, I don’t dare to confirm this. But, that person himself indeed claimed to be Fang Zhengzhi and even defeated Princess Shan Yu’s tiger general in a drill ground competition. Because of this, that Tiger General contacted our side." When the black figure saw the flash of light in Bai Xing’s eyes, he was filled with a slight delight as he hurriedly continued.

"You say that Fang Zhengzhi had defeated a Tiger General of the Supernatural Advanced State?"

"Yes!"

"Are you sure that this piece of intelligence is accurate?" Bai Xing’s expression finally changed at this moment. A rare look of surprise appeared on his face.

"I am sure! It had spread among Princess Shan Yu’s entire camp, and personally witnessed by hundreds of soldiers! This is definitely accurate!" The black figure replied confidently.

"Interesting, only a few months of not seeing him! This kid… had actually reached such a level?" A cold smile formed on the corners of Bai Xing’s mouth. After which, he waved his hand towards the black figure. "Leave!"

"Roger!"

Bai Xing waited until the black figure had left before returning his gaze back to the dark-red gem. "One Nangong Hao, one Fang Zhengzhi… things are getting more and more interesting!"
