Chapter 471 - 4: The Two Commandery Princesses (Part 3)
Malice?
"Second Master Zhu."
Turning around, Fang Zheng cupped his hands and smiled:
"It’s been a while. How have you been?"
"Haha..." Zhu Gui laughed heartily:
"I’m not as fortunate as Young Master Fang, who, upon arriving here, has already gained the favor of Princess Qingyuan, being summoned by her several times over recent days."
"Impressive!"
"Truly impressive!"
"You’re joking." Fang Zheng shook his head:
"I merely have some understanding of music theory, and the Commandery Princess is curious about the tunes from small places, so she summoned me to inquire about them."
Damn!
Could it be that my closeness with Princess Qingyuan has drawn attention?
Sigh!
Fang Zheng sighed lightly in his heart, and a helpless expression appeared on his face. This is an undeserved disaster.
"Just being acquainted with the Commandery Princess would make others green with envy. That’s Princess Qingyuan, after all. Even I can’t get to see her."
Zhu Gui shook his head:
"Moreover, another princess is looking for you."
"Oh!"
Fang Zheng frowned:
"Looking for me for what?"
"To spar in martial arts." Zhu Gui grinned widely.
Perceiving this, at this moment, Second Master Zhu’s malice towards him had soared to the extreme, even to the point where murderous intent emerged.
Hmm?
Even if I’m close to Princess Qingyuan, what does that have to do with you? You’re just a lackey, and you dare to harbor murderous intentions?
Fang Zheng remained expressionless, but a chill crept into his heart.
You may provoke once or twice, but not thrice.
Previously, at the training ground in Gu’an County, Zhu Gui had shown malice, and now he even reveals murderous intent. It seems this person should not be kept alive!
Find an opportunity,
and deal with him directly!
With this thought, Fang Zheng didn’t stop his steps, and followed Zhu Gui to a martial arts arena that spanned several hundred square meters.
Around the martial arts arena, there were dozens of armored guards, and two Flawless Martial Artists were stationed there.
At the center,
a woman wielding a spear was being besieged by several people.
No!
It should be said that the woman was singlehandedly massacring the others, the spear shadows dense, occasionally sending people flying.
The woman’s actions were ruthless. Even though it was just a spar, she frequently broke others’ bones, the red tassel of the long spear stained with blood.
"Ah!"
Along with a scream, the woman stood holding her spear, fresh blood dripping from its tip, her gaze landing on Fang Zheng at the edge of the martial arts arena.
Then she raised her head:
"You are Fang Zheng?"
"I am." Fang Zheng cupped his hands:
"Greetings, Commandery Princess."
This Commandery Princess was not the daughter of King Kang; her father was someone else. However, due to her outstanding martial arts talent, she was chosen by King Kang and raised by his side from a young age.
She had no title.
She was only known as Li Shu, but unfortunately, judging by what just happened, she was far from the meaning of "Shu" (graceful).
"I heard you created a boxing style; those who can create their own martial arts are truly remarkable."
Li Shu raised her eyebrows:
"Come up and spar!"
"..." Fang Zheng sighed lightly and leaped onto the martial arts stage:
"I haven’t had the guidance of a renowned master, so I’ve been exploring on my own. I hope the Commandery Princess will show mercy."
"You talk too much!"
Li Shu’s face turned cold as she lunged forward with her spear:
"Prepare yourself!"
Dragon and Snake Spear!
Li Shu’s True Qi surged within her, her body twisted, and immense power erupted from the spear tip.
The long spear in her hand seemed to merge with her body, her spine undulating, her breath dynamic, like a soaring dragon ascending to the heavens.
Right from the start, it was a formidable killing move!
Fang Zheng’s expression became focused, the Celestial Secret Compass in his Sea of Consciousness spinning wildly, instantly suppressing his cultivation base to the initial Flawless realm.
Immediately, he stepped forward, transforming into several afterimages to meet the incoming long spear.
Heart Intent—Hundred Rivers Converging!
In an instant.
The afterimages of Fang Zheng executed punches, palms, capture techniques, leg techniques, finger techniques, like a raging storm attacking the opponent.
Numerous offensives merged into one in a split second.
"Bang!"
As fists and spear clashed, Fang Zheng’s face turned pale, and all the afterimages dissipated. He staggered back repeatedly.
"Good!"
Li Shu’s eyes brightened:
"The boxing style you created can withstand one move of my Rising Dragon Spear; truly impressive. That Zhu fellow didn’t lie to me."
"Again!"
Her body shifted, her aura soared, and she charged forward with her spear, seeming to grow tremendously in stature.
Before the spear tip, the air churned like boiling water, quickly forming a vortex, drawing in everything around it.
The violent force caused the vortex to contract and collapse inward, forcing Fang Zheng into a direct confrontation.
The overwhelming power was intimidating, instinctively making one unable to summon the desire to resist.
Ultimately, one could only be captured without a fight.
What a spear technique!
Fang Zheng praised inwardly.
As expected, a Commandery Princess raised by the Martial Sect, her skills were truly impressive, far superior to ordinary Flawless practitioners.
In the same realm,
this woman could almost effortlessly defeat her opponent using her top-tier techniques.
Heart Intent!
Primordial Infinite!
Fang Zheng rotated his hands, drawing a flawless circle, Yin and Yang Qi circulating around him.
"Bang!"
Where the spear tip pointed, the Tai Chi shattered instantly.
His self-created Absolute Defense, against Li Shu’s Dragon and Snake Spear with its combined cold and heat properties, only lasted a fraction of a second.
However,
A fraction of a second was enough to dodge the ensuing attack.
"Swish!"
Fang Zheng’s figure flickered, his steps agile and unpredictable, his fists weaving through the dissipating powerful Qi with nimble precision.
Punch out,
Qi Force surged.
Heart Intent!
Unsettled Qiankun!
The chaotic Qi Force and turbulent atmosphere became a great aid to him, making his boxing style even more elusive.
"Whoosh..."
Li Shu’s expression remained unchanged as she swept her spear horizontally. Wherever the long spear passed, the chaotic Qi Force was devoured like a whale swallowing water.
Then,
It exploded with a bang.
"Boom!"
The Qi Force burst apart.
Two shadows crossed and collided in mid-air, then one flew diagonally out, stumbling back several steps before coming to a halt.
The complexion kept changing between pale and blue.
"Clang..."
Li Shu landed with her spear, the spear tip slanting towards the ground, sparking a trail of sparks as she shook her head with regret.
"The technique is good, but your cultivation is too shallow."
"What a pity!"
She sighed:
"You have good talent, but without any top-notch inheritance, it will be difficult to achieve great things at your age."
