"Han Zheng spoke with no intent of settling anything less than life or death, that fierce evil Qi lunging straight for the face.
Fang Tingwei, too, had been tempered in the Martial World.
In fact, for major sects like Washing Sword Pavilion, true disciples could be coddled like flowers in a greenhouse during the early stages, but in the late stages, they must endure the trials of the Martial World and withstand fights to the death.
But even with all the trials Fang Tingwei had undergone, he was no match for Han Zheng, who was with the Demon Cleansing Bureau – always in battle or on the way to one.
Moreover, Fang Tingwei had no intention to truly fight Han Zheng to the death.
He stood up for Yue Jingtong firstly because Yue Jingtong had previously shown him great respect, and he was genuinely outraged at Han Zheng for killing a disciple who had been so respectful to him.
