Chapter 349: Great Trouble

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Didn't this guy disappear in the fire incident in the Intellectual Loft?

No matter what, Chen Feiyu couldn't understand why Fang Zhengzhi would appear in this place. Furthermore, most importantly, Fang Zhengzhi appeared in the Southern Mountain Range, at the door of his stone house.

Fang Zhengzhi, who didn't even participate in the combat examination, appearing in the Southern Mountain Range?

This was already a very mysterious case.

Even more mysterious was that Fang Zhengzhi actually swaggered into his stone house in such an open, blatant manner. Are the guards outside the door blind?

"Why… why are you here?" It wasn't quite possible for Chen Feiyu not to feel the slightest bit shocked. However, paralysing him with shock wasn't quite possible as well.

As the saying went, boldness stems from superb skill.

That was Chen Feiyu's attitude now. Not mentioning that you are Fang Zhengzhi, even if Nangong Hao came, so what? I am already of the Supernatural Beginning State.

Looking down on all the examinees in the combat examination, who do I have to fear?

"I have already said, isn't it not very good to drink a celebratory wine alone?" Fang Zhengzhi simply didn't know that the Chen Feiyu in front of him had attained Supernatural State.

Number twelve in the Rising Dragon Roll.

Who feared him?

Hence, as he spoke, he swaggered in and sat in front of Chen Feiyu.

"Ha ha, Young Master Fang is right, all visitors are my guests. Since Young Master Fang has already come to my territory, then let's drink a cup together." When Chen Feiyu finished speaking, he personally poured a glass of wine for Fang Zhengzhi to express his sincerity.

"Thank you." Fang Zhengzhi picked up the cup and downed it in one gulp, without the slightest bit of suspicion.

Chen Feiyu frowned slightly. Fang Zhengzhi's attitude caused him to feel somewhat unhappy. After all, this was his territory. How can you drink with me feeling so at ease?

"I wonder why Young Master Fang came here to find me?" Chen Feiyu ultimately didn't attack immediately. After all, he was still somewhat curious as to why Fang Zhengzhi appeared here.

"Not anything important, I just want to borrow Young Master Zhang's territory to play around a bit." Fang Zhengzhi said frankly. He indeed prepared to seek Chen Feiyu to "borrow" this territory.

"Ha ha, borrow my territory? If I didn't remember wrongly, Young Master Fang seems to not possess any troops, is that right? Then, if I give my territory to you, can you guard it?" Chen Feiyu smiled coldly.

"I should be able to." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.

"Ha ha ha… Looks like Young Master Fang came prepared today. I wonder how you wish to guard?" When Chen Feiyu heard this, he began to laugh again.

"Using troops of course." Fang Zhengzhi said calmly.

"You have soldiers?!" Chen Feiyu was clearly taken aback. Having troops and not having troops were two completely different concepts.

"Yes."

"How many?"

"Two thousand."

"Two thousand?" Chen Feiyu laughed again. "Fang Zhengzhi, pardon my frankness, but using two thousand soldiers to guard my Thunderous Lion Main Settlement isn't quite enough, is that right?"

"It indeed isn't quite enough. Hence, I also prepared to borrow some soldiers from you." When Fang Zhengzhi heard Chen Feiyu's words, he pondered for a moment, then looked towards Chen Feiyu with an anticipated look on his face.

"Borrowing territory and borrowing soldiers? I never thought that Fang Zhengzhi, number one of the theory examination, would also have times of such naivety?" Chen Feiyu's smile grew wider and wider.

"Naivety is the natural quality of humans. I am always very kind and honest, hence, I am also a little kinder and more honest in my thoughts. After all, there are more good people than bad people in this world, am I right?" Fang Zhengzhi wasn't affected by Chen Feiyu's words at all, instead, he continued to ask in anticipation.

"Ha ha ha…" As Chen Feiyu laughed, he poured himself another glass of wine. Finishing it in one mouth, his gaze finally grew cold. "Fang Zhengzhi, do you think you can still walk out of here today?"

"I think I can!" Fang Zhengzhi's expression remained calm.

"Is it? Why not we try it out?"

"Alright."

"Ha ha ha… come, capture this great scholar, number one in the Court Theory Examination!" Chen Feiyu looked at the confident look on Fang Zhengzhi's face and burst into laughter, then shouted out.

His voice was rather loud. At the very least, Chen Feiyu believed that the five hundred soldiers around the stone house would definitely be able to hear his words.

The door of the stone house moved slightly at this moment. A gust of cold, night wind blew into the stone house, causing the candlelight in the stone house to begin to dance.

However, the soldiers that Chen Feiyu expected didn't appear. Other than the sound of the night wind, it was a complete silence inside and outside the stone house, just like the stars in the sky.

Fang Zhengzhi wasn't affected by Chen Feiyu's shout at all.

It was as if he had never even heard Chen Feiyu's voice, indifferently pouring himself another cup of wine then unhurriedly drinking a mouthful and conveniently picking up some of the snacks on the table and stuffing it into his mouth.

Chewing on it, he thought, it tastes quite good.

Chen Feiyu looked at Fang Zhengzhi's calm expression and finally understood. When he looked at Fang Zhengzhi again, his expression was clearly completely different from before.

In it, there was shock.

It was different from the shock at the beginning. This time, the shock came from Fang Zhengzhi himself, a shock produced by a form of respect deep inside his heart.

"Not bad!" Chen Feiyu lightly nodded his head. "I must admit, you indeed have some skills. You are actually able to take advantage of the time I fought with Wu Feng outside and plant an ambush in my Thunderous Lion Settlement in advance. Furthermore, you are able to maintain your patience and calm, waiting for me until I entered the stone house before springing into action."

"Yes, you are right. That is indeed what happened." Fang Zhengzhi also nodded at this moment. Because, Chen Feiyu was completely right.

"If I were still the Chen Feiyu from before, you might really be able to win this time. Unfortunately, Chen Feiyu isn't the same Chen Feiyu as before. Can two thousand soldiers stop me?" A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Feiyu's eyes.

"Two thousand soldiers aren't able to stop you?" Fang Zhengzhi asked back.

"Ha ha ha… you can give it a try!" Chen Feiyu finally laughed. This time, his laughter was wild, and could even be described as somewhat mad.

In reality, he was indeed qualified to laugh madly. Just as he said, if he were still of the Heavenly Reflection Peak State, based on Fang Zhengzhi's abilities and the soldiers planted around the stone house, it was impossible for him to escape.

However, he was of the Supernatural State. Then, things would be completely different.

Fighting his way out, then making a clarion call. When over ten thousand soldiers surrounded them, Fang Zhengzhi and the other two thousand soldiers wouldn't even be able to fly out of the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement even if they had wings.

That was his confidence, a confidence that came from deep within his heart.

Initially, he wanted to see Wu Feng's stunned expression. But now, there was Fang Zhengzhi who was asking for death, "blatantly" sending himself to his doorstep.

I am going to reveal my abilities so early?

This is actually indeed quite exciting!

Chen Feiyu laughed out loud. At the same time, a dense, dull blue glow radiated from his body. That was essentially waves of ripples, and within those ripples, there were many jade-green leaves. With his body at the center, the entire stone house was completely covered.

He looked towards Fang Zhengzhi, wanting to see the deep shock and horror Fang Zhengzhi's face.

However…

Very disappointingly, Fang Zhengzhi seemed to have been scared dumb, continuing to sit blankly on the chair and pouring wine into his cup.

"Hey, are you blind!" Chen Feiyu finally couldn't contain himself anymore. He had already displayed his abilities. Shouldn't Fang Zhengzhi have some sort of reaction?

"What is it?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chen Feiyu innocently.

"Don't tell me you can't see that I've already had a breakthrough? A breakthrough from the Heavenly Reflection Peak State to the Supernatural Beginning State!" Chen Feiyu felt that he really had to remind Fang Zhengzhi.

"Breakthrough? That is really impressive, what should I do?" Fang Zhengzhi seemed to have finally managed to react after hearing Chen Feiyu's words. His expression also began to seem somewhat panicked.

"Run of course!" Chen Feiyu replied without a moment of hesitation.

"Oh, then I'll start running." Fang Zhengzhi nodded, then gradually stood up from the chair and slowly strolled towards the outside of the stone house.

Chen Feiyu looked at Fang Zhengzhi's foolish yet adorable expression and instinctively felt as if something wasn't quite right. However, after thinking about his own powers.

He quickly dismissed those thoughts of something being amiss.

Is it scared dumb?

As he thought, Chen Feiyu instantly leapt up. With a "clang", he drew out his sword and charged rapidly towards Fang Zhengzhi.

"Ha ha ha… you wish to run? The entire Thunderous Lion Settlement is mine, let me see where you…" Chen Feiyu didn't finish his sentence. Because, after he charged outside the stone house, he was completely taken aback by the scene in front of his eyes.

The smile on his face froze like a statue.

Because, outside the stone house, there were countless densely packed dark-skinned armoured soldiers.

Of course, that wasn't the main point. The main point was that all of those soldiers rode on a huge beast at least two meters tall.

That was a beast that looked like a wolf, its body covered completely in green and black fur with a single silver horn on its forehead. However, its build was definitely at least two to three times bigger than a wolf.

The Silver Horned Wolf!

As the descendant of the thirteen constabularies and an important member of the Great Xia Dynasty, how could Chen Feiyu not know that the Southern Mountain Range had an extremely terrifying force.

The Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry!

Every Silver Horned Wolf was comparable to a human of the Heavenly Reflection State. Adding on the mounted troops on the Silver Horned Wolf, it was definitely a terrifying existence.

The greatest reason beasts were suppressed by humans wasn't because they weren't powerful enough, instead, it was due to their intelligence. Even though the higher-class beasts were intelligent, it was still clearly somewhat inferior compared to that of humans.

However…

If there were mounted soldiers who could control them, then this difference would be gone.

"One, two… how many are there here!" Chen Feiyu parted his lips slightly and swept his gaze across the surrounding Silver Horned Wolf Cavalries, attempting to estimate the approximate amount in his heart.

"You don't have to count, there are exactly five hundred!" Fang Zhengzhi opened his mouth at this moment, the edges of his mouth curling into a kind and warm smile, like that of the spring breeze.

However, Chen Feiyu's expression had completely changed.

Five hundred?!

Five hundred Silver Horned Wolf Cavalries!

Why would this happen, how is this possible? Why would Fang Zhengzhi have the Silver Horned Wolf Cavalries? The Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry was the elite among the elite forces of the Southern Mountain Range!

"Fang Zhengzhi, you dare betray your country?!"

"I thought you were rather smart, yet why are you still like Chen Hao? Betraying my country? It isn't very good to falsely accuse people, did I ever say that I betrayed my country?" Fang Zhengzhi replied calmly.

"Then… then what are all these Silver Horned Wolf Cavalries about?" Chen Feiyu didn't believe that the Silver Horned Wolf Cavalries would obey Fang Zhengzhi's orders without any good reason.

"Borrowed." Fang Zhengzhi said frankly.

"Borrowed?!"

"That's right, I had also prepared to borrow some soldiers from you, but you are too stingy and didn't agree. However, the people of the Southern Mountain Range are very generous, when I said that I want to borrow troops, they lent me immediately."

"Who are you trying to scam?"

"You!"

"You… Fang Zhengzhi, no matter what, you are still the number one in the Court Theory Examination of the Great Xia. I, Chen Feiyu, also respect you for being an honourable and forthright person. Today, I challenge you to a duel. If you defeat me, all the ten thousand troops under me would be yours. If you lose, the five hundred Silver Horned Wolf Cavalries under you would be mine. How about that?" Chen Feiyu didn't continue arguing with Fang Zhengzhi and quickly proposed his own plan.

"Alright!"

Fang Zhengzhi nodded very quickly.

When Chen Feiyu heard this, his eyes instantly lit up. However, very quickly, his expression turned dark. Because, after Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head, he continued to say.

"I wonder whether you would choose for all of us to duel you, or would you duel all of us?"

"You… Fang Zhengzhi, you are shameless!" Chen Feiyu finally exploded. Because, this Fang Zhengzhi in front of him clearly wasn't a "honourable and forthright" person.

"Thank you for your praise. Teng Shisheng!" Fang Zhengzhi nodded, satisfied, then shouted out towards Teng Shisheng who was standing him.

"Present!"

"I want him alive!"

"I understand!" Teng Shisheng instantly received the orders. Then, he raised his dark and muscular arm. Instantly five hundred Silver Horned Wolves let out a blood-curdling howl at the same time.

"Awoo!"

"Awoo!"

"..."

"Ah! Don't do this… Ah! Get away from me! I… I am not satisfied, I have already attained the Supernatural State. I am going to be number one in the combat examination. I want to make a name for myself!" Chen Feiyu's voice mixed together with the howls of the Silver Horned Wolves.

He was struggling.

He was of the Supernatural State, hence his powers were indeed very frightening.

Pieces of his flesh were torn and bitten off. However, they recovered rapidly. Terminal lucidity enabled Chen Feiyu to stand strong and firm.

However, the outcome of that was a longer period of suffering.

Two bloody streaks were slashed on his arms.

Not a problem, it could heal.

A chunk of meat was bitten off his leg. Not a problem, it still could heal.

"Ah! I cannot lose, I… don't want to lose!" Chen Feiyu's voice was very proud and aloof, however, it was also very tragic. Cries of pain reverberated about the entire Thunderous Lion Settlement.

This also sent chill down the hearts of the soldiers guarding the Thunderous Lion Settlement.

"This voice seemed to have come from General Zhang's direction. Don't tell me something happened to General Zhang?!"

"Oh no, it is definitely Wu Feng. Could he have took advantage of the time we left the Thunderous Lion Settlement to send in a group of soldiers to hide inside, waiting for an opportunity to ambush General Zhang?"

"Quick, gather as fast as possible and rush towards General Zhang's house!"
