Chapter 291: Return my pole position


    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions


    No one knew because no one had seen it before.


    However, they were all extremely anxious as they saw the jade green glow be brighter and brighter.


    "Ah! Don’t shoot me!"


    "I am just here to participate in thepetition!"


    "Please stop! We have no feud, don’t act rashly!"


    No one else had Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming’s ability. As such, when they saw the arrow on Fang Zhengzhi’s bow, they panicked.


    "Zoom!" A piercing sound rang out throughout the air.


    The arrow tore through the air, cutting a slim green crack as it flew towards the crowd.


    Clearly, the pleas had not worked.


    "Run!" All of them ran without hesitation. They could feel how terrifyingly powerful the green arrow was.


    If they were hit by it, many of them would die or suffer severe injuries.


    Amongst the ten greatest treasures of the Great Xia Dynasty, the zing Qilin Spear was the best offensive weapon. The Sun Shooting Bow was the one with the highest lethal range.


    Even a normal arrow would be buffed by the power of the bow. Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi was using the Million Sword Illustration.


    The jade green arrow sailed through the air.


    It curved over the heads of all the retreatingpetitors. Then, itnded about 300m away, exploding in a sh of green.


    "Boom!"


    A crater was instantly formed in the ground.


    There were two innocent beasts in the crater bathing in their own blood. That was overkill.


    "Hiss..."


    All of them looked at the devastation just 300m away from them. They hissed and gasped, feeling chills running down their spines.


    If this was sent right into the middle of them, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming looked at the crater and then at each other. Their expressions darkened.


    Fang Zhengzhi began to urge his horse forward.


    The Mud Striped Horse whinnied as it looked at the otherpetitors. Then, it began walking towards the crater.


    Fang Zhengzhi smiled to himself. This was the first time he was using the Sun Shooting Bow. He never expected it to be this powerful.


    However, this was not what he was most concerned about.


    He was more concerned if he could pass easily after revealing this power.


    He scanned all of the otherpetitors. Then, he bared his teeth in an attempt to scare them.


    None of them noticed his expression. However, when they saw him riding over, they all opened up a path for him.


    Fang Zhengzhi was ecstatic.


    He did not want to resort to violence. Furthermore, Ping Yang was probably already at the third recording tablet. If he did not speed up, Ping Yang would really be in an advantageous position.


    He wanted the first position to himself.


    "Fang Zhengzhi, do you really think that you can scare us off with that arrow?" Xiang Tianying blocked Fang Zhengzhi’s path.


    Beside him was a solemn looking Tang Zhongming.


    "Us?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Tang Zhongming. "You want a 2v1?"


    "Yes! I had thought that one of us would have been enough. However, seeing as you have such a powerful bow to bully us, we will have tobine our powers." Xiang Tianying nodded.


    "I am bullying you all just because I have a good bow? So you want a 2v1?" Fang Zhengzhi could not figure out the logic.


    All of the otherpetitors were terrified when they heard this.


    Even though they knew that Xiang Tianying’s reason was no real reason at all, they were not concerned about that.


    What was more important was that...


    The seventh and eighth ranked talents on the Rising Dragon Roll were about to join forces!


    And they were going tobine forces to fight Fang Zhengzhi.


    This was bullying.


    However, after seeing Fang Zhengzhi’s arrow, anyone who wanted to duel him alone had a death wish.


    "What... about you all?" Fang Zhengzhi nced at the others.


    "We will spectate!"


    "Yes, we will just watch from the side."


    "Rest assured, we will not interfere."


    All of the others looked at each other and made their stand clear. They were not like Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming.


    If they tried to interfere, the arrow may be trained on them.


    No one was a fool.


    Furthermore, with Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongmingbining forces, there was no ce for them. Why find trouble for themselves.


    They were here for thepetition.


    Fighting...


    Was not part of their ns.


    Fang Zhengzhi did not want to fight either. However, he could not back down now that he was challenged.


    Furthermore, he had no idea who Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming were.


    As a result, he didn’t care.


    "Okay then, since we are going to fight, make it quick. My time is limited, I still want to finish first!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming.


    Both of them were in the top 10 of the Rising Dragon Roll.


    They were famed throughout thends. They had never been condescended to in this way before.


    "Finish first? Fang Zhengzhi, you can lie here for the rest of the day!" Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming were rivals.


    They had not nned to cooperate.


    However, Fang Zhengzhi’s arrow had caused their confidence to waver.


    Tang Zhongming felt the same way. If not for the fact that Fang Zhengzhi had the Sun Shooting Bow, he would not join forces with Xiang Tianying.


    If not for the fact that Fang Zhengzhi had caused trouble for him, he would be bathing in glory by now.


    He was supposed to finish first or second. However, right now, he was going home with nothing. He was not going to let Fang Zhengzhi off.


    "Return my pole position!" Tang Zhongming waved his hand and a longsword appeared in his hand. His body glowed blue as an icy gust cut through the air.


    "Oh?" Fang Zhengzhi was taken aback. He had not expected that his two opponents would be this strong.


    This guy’s technique was no weaker than Nangong Mu’s Green and Blue Secret Art.


    "I forgot to introduce myself, Tang Zhongming, pinnacle Heavenly Reflection State, ranked eighth on the Rising Dragon Roll!" Tang Zhongming’s tone was icy.


    "Xian Tianying, pinnacle Heavenly Reflection State, ranked seventh on the Rising Dragon Roll!" Xiang Tianying bellowed. Then, he nced at Tang Zhongming contentedly.


    "F*ck me!" Fang Zhengzhi cursed in his heart.


    Ranks seven and eight on the Rising Dragon Roll?!


    Fang Zhengzhi recalled how he had defeated the tenth person on the Rising Dragon Roll. Even though he had won, it was not a gentlemanly fight.


    Furthermore...


    Nangong Mu was not even within the top 10 of the Rising Dragon Roll.


    That would mean that these two people were even more powerful than Nangong Mu.


    Perhaps...


    He may have gone overboard.


    "Ohe on... you are two famous people joining together to fight me. Isn’t that a little inappropriate?" Fang Zhengzhi said disdainfully.


    "Who asked you to have such a good bow?" Xiang Tianying smirked when he heard Fang Zhengzhi.


    "Why don’t we make a deal. I won’t use my bow and you will choose someone to duel me. If you lose, let me pass?" Fang Zhengzhi suggested.


    "Duel?"


    Xian Tianying and Tang Zhongming looked at each other and smirked.


    "Sure, but you have to beat us both in session before we let you pass!" Xiang Tianying’s smile became more and more radiant.


    He could see fear in Fang Zhengzhi’s face. This guy was clearly not powerful.


    He wondered how Fang Zhengzhi made it into the top 10.


    "Okay then..." Fang Zhengzhi nodded hesitantly after hearing the terms.


    "Young Master Tang, please go ahead!" Xiang Tianying nced at Tang Zhongming.


    "Young Master Xiang is more powerful, you should go first!" Tang Zhongming knew that the first one to fight was always at a disadvantage.


    Furthermore, having never sparred with Fang Zhengzhi, spectating one match would give him some preparation.


    "You should go first because I am more powerful than you. You can test him out and I can finish him off." Xiang Tianying reasoned.


    "Does Young Master Xiang have no confidence to defeat Fang Zhengzhi?" Tang Zhongming rebutted.


    "I think Young Master Tang should go first."


    "I think it is more appropriate for Young Master Xiang to go first."


    The two of them began to bicker.


    All of the other talents shook their heads when they saw Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming bickering. They would have done the same if they were in that position.


    After all, Fang Zhengzhi was also in the top 10.


    Even though they were ranked higher than Fang Zhengzhi, they were not much more powerful. Any battle would result in severe injuries on both sides.


    The second one to fight was bound to be at a huge advantage.


    "How about I suggest something since you two can’te to an agreement?" Fang Zhengzhi said sincerely.


    "What is it?" Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming looked at Fang Zhengzhi, unsure of what he was trying to do. They had heard all about Fang Zhengzhi.


    This was a shameless man who would stop at nothing to win.


    As such, they were extremely cautious.


    "It’s simple. Just y rock paper scissors. Whoever loses will go first. Do you all know how to y?" Fang Zhengzhi had no idea if they yed this in this world.


    "Of course!" Xiang Tianying snorted.


    This was something he learnt when he was two!


    "Okay, even though it is immature, it is a fair method to decide. We will use that to determine who goes first!" Tang Zhongming nodded after a brief hesitation.


    "I can be the judge to prevent either one of you from cheating!" Fang Zhengzhi said solemnly.


    Both Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming nced at Fang Zhengzhi suspiciously. What is he trying to do?


    However, they didn’t think he could do much in a game of rock paper scissors.


    Both of them agreed after some thought.


    Fang Zhengzhi dismounted and walked into the middle of them two. Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming held their hands behind their back.


    "I will count to three and you must y together. Whoever reactste will lose." Fang Zhengzhi reiterated.


    "Enough nonsense, just start!" Xiang Tianying said in exasperation.


    Many of the otherpetitors gathered around, waiting to see what was going to happen.


    "Okay." Fang Zhengzhi nodded.


    "One."


    "Two."


    "Three."


    "Open!"


    Fang Zhengzhi waved his arm and ordered. Both Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming red at each other as they showed their hands.


    At this moment.


    "Boom!"


    A ring white light exploded in between both of them.


    "Eyes!"


    "My eyes!"


    "Sh*t, why can’t I see?!"


    "It’s Fang Zhengzhi! He used this tactic when fighting Nangong Mu thest time!"


    After the bright light exploded, the entire are went into chaos. Everyone was covering their eyes and scampering around.


    "Fang Zhengzhi, I will not let you off!" Xiang Tianying closed his eyes and roared. A column of purple light shot skyward. It glimmered in the sun like purple crystals.


    Purple Crystal Territory!
