Chapter 898: Who Has The Power To Decide The Winner and Loser
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Space-splitting Demon God’s face became distorted.
As a powerful demon who was at the ‘god’ level, he ought to be commanding the sea and waves and be at a highly-respected position. However, he was “blatantly” stepped on the face by an ordinary mortal.
Insult? This word was not even suitable to describe his feelings.
That was because he had been repeatedly attacked by Fang Zhengzhi with the most insulting tactics possible. Furthermore, he saw a tinge of disdain in Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes.
Or in other words, despise!
A human in the Mortal Enlightenment State was despising a God? This was so ridiculous that none of the monsters, demons, or humans could believe.
It was exactly like how they still could not believe how even after the Space-splitting Demon God had shouted “die”, he was still stepped on the face by Fang Zhengzhi.
“…” The Space-splitting Demon God wanted to speak but he could not because his mouth was sealed by the feet above him.
Why did this happen?
The Space-splitting Demon God could not understand. He could not understand how Fang Zhengzhi had thought of his plans and was so certain that he would have attacked from the bottom.
Nevertheless, that was no longer important.
His face really hurt. Fang Zhengzhi must have stepped him with full force and unrestrained.
Boom! The head of the Space-splitting Demon God inclined and he fell heavily on a branch of the Tree of God. The powerful force broke the tree branch and caused countless of leaves and white flowers to fall. It was rather beautiful but desolated.
This scene was sufficient to make people scream in shock.
However, the atmosphere had been extremely quiet throughout the entire process, from the start when Fang Zhengzhi stepped on Space-splitting Demon God to how the Space-splitting Demon God broke the tree branch of the Tree of God.
That was because the monster kings, Monster Emperor Baizhi, the Heavenly Oasis Saint and Yan Qianli were all evidently stunned by the scene.
Nobody could believe their eyes. Yet, that was the reality.
Time seemed to have stopped until the Space-splitting Demon God stood up again. He touched the footprint on his face and spat out a mouth of blood.
“Fang Zhengzhi, I want to tear you into pieces!!!” A terrifying aura exuded from the Space-splitting Demon God. This aura lingered in the air and blew on the branches of the Tree of God, causing the surroundings to be extremely turbulent as breaking sounds were heard.
It was evident that the Space-splitting Demon God was infuriated to the maximum level.
However, Fang Zhengzhi still had a look of disdain on his face. He did not disdain the Space-splitting Demon God because of his capabilities, but rather how he wanted to spring a sneak attack under his crotch area.
How stupid!
As the classic famous saying during the Three Kingdoms Period, ‘How would the person who was good at targeting others not watch out for himself?’ How hilarious.
Fang Zhengzhi gave the Space-splitting Demon God a middle finger and secretly said ‘dumbass!’. Then, he tightened his grip on the traceless sword and stuck out his tongue to lick the blood stains around his mouth.
“Are you afraid?” Fang Zhengzhi asked.
“No.” Chi Guyan shook her head.
“You indeed do not need to be afraid. After all, you are not the person he wants to tear apart.”
“That’s right.” Chi Guyan smiled faintly and her pale face became pink like the peach blossom that bloomed in March.
It was so beautiful that it made one’s heart flutter.
Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chi Guyan and the scene where he was lured by Chi Guyan’s gold ingot in the Southern Mountain Village flashed across his mind.
That was when he found out about Chi Guyan’s identity.
The daughter of the Divine Constabulary, the Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty. She was so noble that her words could decide one’s life or death.
All along he had been thinking why Chi Guyan had been continuously forcing him to go to a higher ground. Was it because of the kick years ago?
If he had been caught by Chi Guyan back then, or if he had decided to take the risk, revealed the truth of the Illustration of All Creation and became a member of the Divine Constabulary, would the outcome be different?
Fang Zhengzhi did not know. However, at that instant, he realized that perhaps there was something in the world that could not be described using words.
“Is it nice?” Chi Guyan suddenly asked.
“Yes it is, but lacking some gentleness. It will be better if you can have the three obediences and four virtues, be good in both domestic and social aspects… Cough, actually you’re good this way!” Fang Zhengzhi broke off his sentence and shuddered. Then, he smiled brightly.
“Hmm, I think so too.” Chi Guyan nodded in satisfaction. Then, she looked beneath. “Do you think Wu Yuer can hear our conversation?”
“…” Fang Zhengzhi’s smile froze. He suddenly realized that Chi Guyan was standing in front of him. Chi Guyan, the Pride of the Heavens, the one who was more superior than Yun Qingwu in terms of the state of mind and intelligence.
So, was he tricked again?
Fang Zhengzhi did not continue thinking because the Space-splitting Demon God had already charged towards Chi Guyan and himself with a wild and raging force.
The god-like powerful demon was being ignored.
The Space-splitting Demon God could not understand how Fang Zhengzhi still had the mood to chat with Chi Guyan when he was burning with rage.
“What on earth are the two of them thinking about?”
“Time is precious.” Fang Zhengzhi raised his Traceless Sword and the purple sword radiance made the sky turn purple.
People like to ask, ‘What will you do at the last moment of your life?’
There was a variety of answers to this question.
Fang Zhengzhi’s answer was…
To have a casual chat with someone.
This was the state of mind that Fang Zhengzhi had now. He did not know what was on Chi Guyan’s mind, but since Chi Guyan was smiling so leisurely, he thought that she would be in the same state of mind as him.
Escape?
If he had met a powerful rival like the Space-splitting Demon God previously, he would definitely have escaped. However, at that moment in time, he did not have the intention to escape.
There were not many reasons for this.
Perhaps it was because of Chi Guyan’s blooming smile, or maybe it was because of the figure who was clad in a black muslin dress that stood below the Tree of God.
Of course, perhaps he wanted to stay to witness the powers of the so-called Demon God who had walked out of the Gate of God.
That was what went through Fang Zhengzhi’s mind.
However, Wu Yuer did not think the same way. From her expressions, one could tell that she was evidently angry.
Just like her personality, she drew a clear distinction between what she loved and what she hated.
“Shameless, extremely shameless!” Wu Yuer’s face was slightly red. It was either due to her anger or because she felt wronged.
However, she still did not move. Even though she was breathing heavily, she stood silently on the spot and bit her lips.
Yet one thing that was certain was that if Fang Zhengzhi was fortunate enough to survive, he had to pay some price for the words he had said.
But will Fang Zhengzhi survive?
Wu Yuer was unsure. However, she would definitely take care of his corpse if he died and send it back to Northern Mountain Village. Then, she would find a place beside the river to build a grave so that the Northern Mountain Village and the Cang Ling Mountain could be seen.
Of course, she would put a stone on the grave, then a wooden chair on the stone so she could accompany him quietly…
“Shameless brat, will you really die this time?” The more Wu Yuer thought about it, the angrier she got. However, without knowing the reason, her vision started to blur.
Perhaps it was because the purple light in the sky was too blinding, or perhaps it was because the darkness was too powerful that it had crushed the purple light completely.
Wu Yuer suddenly realized that she could no longer see clearly.
Yet she tried her best to open her eyes wide without blinking or rubbing them. She was afraid that everything would have ended if she rubbed her eyes.
There were loud sounds in the sky.
The sounds alternated between loud thunderous booms and ear-piercing sharp noises. Wu Yuer could not see clearly. She only saw the movements of shadows and lights.
However, she knew that it had not ended as long as there were movements. Therefore, there was still hope even though it was extremely small.
“Yuer, you cried…” The voice of the Heavenly Oasis Saint was heard. It was very soft but it was extremely concerned.
“Ah? I cried?” Wu Yuer shook her head and realized that tears had streamed down her face.
She panicked when she realized that the shadow she had been looking at had disappeared when she blinked.
Where was it?!
Do not end like that!
Wu Yuer opened her eyes again. She stopped panicking when she realized that the shadow in the sky was still there.
Furthermore, her vision became clearer and she could see the hand which Fang Zhengzhi held his Traceless Sword.
However…
Why were there so much blood on his body?!
Wu Yuer’s eyes widened again as she wanted to see clearer. Then, she realized that not only were there more blood stains on Fang Zhengzhi’s body, he had many injuries too.
Although the wounds were not big, he was covered in wounds which blood continuously flowed out from. Even his black armor was stained red by the blood.
Meanwhile, many spiderweb-like cracks had appeared on the exquisite black armor. Some of them were deep and some were shallow, as if the armor was about to shatter apart.
“No, do not die, you shameless brat!”
…
At the top of the Tree of God, Fang Zhengzhi raised his head slightly and smiled because he realized that he had held on for another fifteen minutes.
“Looks like you are not powerful enough.” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the Space-splitting Demon God with disdain.
“Since I have said I would tear you into pieces, I will not let you die so easily!” There was also blood on the hands and body of the Space-splitting Demon God, yet the blood was from the black bone spur. In other words, the blood was from Fang Zhengzhi.
“Not powerful means not powerful. Nobody would believe your excuses.” Fang Zhengzhi smiled and pointed the tip of the Traceless Sword at the throat of the Space-splitting Demon God.
“Hmph!” The Space-splitting Demon God snorted coldly and did not have any intention to continue to talk nonsense with Fang Zhengzhi. The black bone spur in his hand moved and vanished into thin air.
Meanwhile, a beam of purple sword light shined.
However…
No matter how bright the sword light was and how fast it had struck, the black bone spur was not blocked at all and appeared at the bottom of Fang Zhengzhi’s left thigh.
Slash!
The black bone spur penetrated through Fang Zhengzhi;s thigh and returned to the hands of the Space-splitting Demon God. The blood on the bone spur dripped down like water droplets onto his body and splattered onto his black armor.
Meanwhile, the other hand of the Space-splitting Demon God had caught the purple sword light that was traveling towards him.
With a tight grip, the sword light broke apart and became purple spots.
Fang Zhengzhi’s body inclined slightly and his mouth moved subconsciously. However, he stood back upright again and tightened his grip on his Traceless Sword.
“You are a mortal. No matter how talented and lucky you are, it is impossible for you to win a God. Do you not understand this?” After saying this sentence, the black bone spur in the Space-splitting Demon God’s hand disappeared again.
This time, instead of appearing beside Fang Zhengzhi, the black bone spur appeared in front of Chi Guyan’s chest.
Clang!
At the instant when the black bone spur appeared, a beam of purple light landed on it and it fell from the sky.
“Hmph, naive!” Fang Zhengzhi smiled brightly. However, along with the blood on his body, it appeared as though he was struggling.
The Space-splitting Demon God frowned.
This was the fifth time he attacked Chi Guyan. However, he had not succeeded once because of Fang Zhengzhi’s defence.
Why could he predict that?
The Space-splitting Demon God stretched out his hand and the black bone spur reappeared on his palm, radiating a chilling light that made one quiver.
What was the reason?
The Space-splitting Demon God could not understand how Fang Zhengzhi who neither had the speed nor any idea of his attack route could manage to block his attack, be it for Chi Guyan or himself, at the critical moment.
“What kind of monster are you?”
“You have asked the right question. I can tell you very honestly that I am really the reincarnated Emperor Huang. Believe me, look into my eyes, I am very sincere!” Fang Zhengzhi blinked his eyes and said with a look of sincerity.
