However, this time, Fang Zhengzhi knew Chi Hou’s speed and exploited the Wind Shadow Technique to the maximum, causing Chi Hou to miss.
How could he let someone catch him twice in a row?
Fang Zhengzhi felt that it would be too humiliating to be caught again. At the very least, he must put up some resistance.

You attacked me first, now you’re shamelessly complaining about me?
Fang Zhengzhi dodged and weaved. Then, he waved,
Take this, Heavenly Maid Scattered Flowers!

As Fang Zhengzhi waved, an icy glow enveloped the land and shot towards Chi Hou.
Offense was the best defence.
 
This was fact.
Seeing the icy glow shot out by Fang Zhengzhi, the surrounding maids were all confused. They had no idea what this was. However, anyone who dared to attack Chi Hou was incredibly courageous.
 
Who was Chi Hou? The name Iron Blood Divine Marquis wasn’t to be said at will.
 
He was a master of strategy, how could a trick like this fool him? Even though the maids felt that the icy glow looked good, no one felt that it could hurt Chi Hou.
 
The truth reflected this…
 
After seeing the icy glow from Fang Zhengzhi, he did not even dodge. Rays of light radiated from his body, enveloping him.
The moment the icy glow impacted the light shield, they disappeared into the ground.

Cling, clang, clang…

The ring of objects falling to the ground rung out.
 
After the icy glow fell to the ground, the maids finally realized that the icy glow was actually countless silver needles.

Again!
Seeing the silver needles fall to the ground, Fang Zhengzhi had no intention of giving up. He waved his hands again and an icy glow shot towards Chi Hou once again.

Again? I would like to see how many more things you can scatter!
Chi Hou chuckled lightly as the light shield radiated outwards once again, knocking the needles out of the sky.
 

Again!
Fang Zhengzhi had no intention of giving up.
With another wave of his hand, the needles took to the sky once again. This stubbornness tickled the maids. How silly, why drag it out when you know you’re not going to hit?
 
After all, all you can do is delay the inevitable…
Chi Hou looked at the glow in front of him, slightly confused. Fang Zhengzhi should not be this dumb, what is going on?
 
Having experienced hundreds of battles, Chi Hou was not one to underestimate his enemy.
Even though he knew that his opponent was much weaker and those needles could never hurt him, he would not let the needles even come close.
What if they were laced with poison?
What if Fang Zhengzhi was just trying to make him complacent?
Chi Hou had no way of confirming this. However, he was rather curious why Fang Zhengzhi would consistently use techniques that could not harm him. Fang Zhenghi was probably trying to make him lower his guard after repeated attacks.
This sounded like quite the plan. However, Fang Zhenghi could not even break his shield, what good would making him overconfident do.
Chi Hou may be thinking this way, but his servants were not able to think at such a level.
They looked on with pity and mocking as Fang Zhengzhi kept sending out futile attack after futile attack.

This Heavenly Maid Scattered Flowers looks pretty!


I wonder how many more flowers he can scatter?

 

I think he’ll be out very soon!

 
Just as the servants expected, Fang Zhengzhi had limited needles. He was no porcupine, so after several attacks, he had run out of needles.
 
Even so, he was unfazed. He had other things to scatter – powder, ash, nails, daggers, dried fruits, snacks…

 
The sky was enveloped by a steel net, but what was happening underneath the net was dumbfounding.
Chi Hou looked on as Fang Zhengzhi continued to scatter items. Finally, he showed traces of surprise. How many ‘secret weapons’ does this person have?

A lot!
Fang Zhengzhi understood Chi Hou’s expression and answered his question without any hesitation.
He was in no hurry. He was always prepared for any eventuality and had all sorts of secret weapons that would last him some time.
 
As such, he was extremely willful in his scattering of items. He was not scared that he would finish scattering all his items…
After absorbing the attacks for about 15 minutes, Chi Hou was getting exasperated. At the rate Fang Zhengzhi was going, the entire courtyard was going to turn into a landfill.
Within a heartbeat, Chi Hou’s footsteps increased.
 
He was incredibly quick. No matter how Fang Zhengzhi tried to weave and dodge, Chi Hou was within striking range in moments. He grabbed at Fang Zhengzhi with both hands.
Then…
 
Fang Zhengzhi smiled wryly.
 
Seeing the grin, Chi Hou had an ominous feeling. Fang Zhengzhi looked like a hunter after his prey had fallen for the trap.
 
However, he had absolutely no idea how Fang Zhengzhi planned on breaking his defences.
 
If he couldn’t break the defences, what use was trickery?
 
Just as he thought about it, Chi Hou saw a radiant ray of light. That ray of light was like an incredibly sharp needle piercing his eye.

What the hell is that?!

Chi Hou retreated unconsciously, the light surrounding his body shining at maximum brightness.
However, he was already blinded by the ray of light. His light shield could block all sorts of foreign matter, including poisonous gas.
 
However…
It could not block light, and it definitely could not block the ray of light that he was just exposed to.
The world around him suddenly became snow white. There was nothing around him, almost as if he entered an empty space. This greatly unsettled Chi Hou.

Bstard, aren’t you afraid that I will kill your family for this deceit? Won’t you be blinded by this?
Just as Chi Hou thought about this, he heard the servants around him scream simultaneously.

Ah, my eyes!


Oh oh, I can’t see…

 

What is this?

Their screams echoed out. Just like Chi Hou, they were all consumed by this light, blinded by its radiance.
Chi Hou could not see, but he was not flustered. Experience told him that composure was required in times of emergency. As such, the moment he lost his sight, he chose to increase his defenses.
The intensity of light around his body increased.
 
He was quite interested to know what methods Fang Zhengzhi would use to attack him after blinding him.
However, Chi Hou was disappointed. The light around him decreased and he slowly began to regain his vision. However, throughout this time, Fang Zhengzhi did not attack.
 
It was almost as if Fang Zhengzhi ran away.

He was just trying to escape?
Chi Hou was increasingly puzzled. The Divine Constabulary isn’t big, where could he have gone to?
After going through so much to numb Chi Hou and blind him, why not take the chance to attack?
At the very least, he would have gone down fighting?
Humans are curious by nature. As such, Chi Hou really wanted to find out where Fang Zhengzhi had disappeared to. His eyes widened as he slowly regained his vision.
 
Until…
 
He saw a faint glow. It was a faint blue dot.
This light stood out in the sea of white. Then, the glow became brighter and harder. When Chi Hou finally saw it clearly, he realized that it was like a sapphire. However, there were countless rays of light circling it.
 
Swirling, swirling, swirling…

The Hypnotic Eye!
Chi Hou shuddered. He finally realized what he was looking at. It was one of the treasures of the Divine Constabulary.
 
In fact, he had brought it into the Heavenly Treasure Hall himself.
However, at that time, he did not think much of this. In order for it to take effect, it required a very strict condition.
The enemy must look at it for more than three seconds for it to take effect.
It did not seem difficult, but which enemy would look at the Hypnotic Eye for more than three seconds in a real battle? The potential for use was too low. As such, Chi Hou threw it into a corner of the hall.
After so many years, he had almost forgotten its existence.
But now…
The Hypnotic Eye was right in front of his eyes. That meant Fang Zhengzhi had managed to find it in the recesses of the Heavenly Treasure Hall.
 
More importantly…
He had stared at it for more than five seconds.
These thoughts flew through Chi Hou’s mind, but his eyelids were incredibly heavy. His light may be able to block all forms of attack, however, it could not defend against the hypnotism of the Hypnotic Eye.

I have failed miserably in such an easy task! What was that ray of light?
Chi Hou sighed as his eyes closed and he fell to the ground.

Bang!
With a loud thud, Chi Hou fell to the ground.
All of the servants stared wide eyed as their master slumped.
The fall was so crisp, almost as if he had fallen asleep instantaneously. His head cocked to one side and he crumpled.
 
It was so fast… Chi Hou did not even manage to protect his own face.
He fell to the ground face first. Even though he looked quite pathetic, at the very least, he was in a deep sleep. I wonder if his face would hurt after he wakes up?
