Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A saying went, ‘you will not die if you do not seek death’.
Nobody knew if Lin Ji was going to die, but it was certain it was a heavy blow from the distortion on Lin Ji’s face.
Crack! Lin Ji’s body landed on a gigantic tree. The powerful collision force broke the tree trunk.
This happened in a second. It was so sudden that none of the 10,000 surrounding Demon soldiers could react.
As for Lin Ji…
After she broke the tree trunk, she fell on one of her knees, one of her broken teeth fell out from her mouth and blood trickled from the corner of her lips.
“She’s wounded?!”
“The ancient powerful Monster God is wounded?!”
“Who… Who did that?!”
The Demon soldiers were stunned because Lin Ji was a legendary powerful Monster God.
How could she possibly be wounded like this?
The Demon soldiers were extremely stunned.
Apart from them, Lin Ji was also stunned when she saw her broken tooth on the ground and could not believe her eyes.
As a powerful Monster who had went through the ancient battlefield, she was used to the notion that injuries were inevitable.
However, as a female Monster God, a Monster God who was extremely proud of her looks and confidence, how could she tolerate the fact that one of her teeth fell out from her neat row of white teeth?
Anger, rage!
“Who is that!!” Lin Ji roared angrily and a powerful aura exuded from her body as though there were sharp knives flying around her.
However, nobody responded to her.
That was because there was a figure beside Shan Yu who was wrapped in black shirt. The figure was untying the ropes around Shan Yu’s hand while removing the animal skin in her mouth.
“Who… are you?” Shan Yu asked the same question as Lin Ji the moment the animal skin was removed from her mouth.
However, Shan Yu did not wait for the figure to reply her, because one of the Settlement Chief had fell to his knees.
“Yan Ya!” Shan Yu was mad. However, she felt helpless because she knew that she was no match for Lin Ji and the 10,000 Demon soldiers in front of her.
However, she was the Queen of the Southern Region, the Queen of Yan Ya, how could she possibly sit back and watch?
Therefore, she dashed forward when Yan Ya collapsed to the ground without answering the figure in fron of her.
However, at this moment, a hand pressed on her shoulder. It was not too forceful but the force that was like a mountain made Shan Yu unable to move.
“Release me, I want to save Yan Ya!”
“Can you save him?” The figure spoke as a dim radiance flashed past his eyes. It was peaceful but complicated.
“I can’t sit back and…”
Before Shan Yu could complete her sentence, the hand that was pressing on her shoulders slid down to her waist.
Shan Yu’s expression changed.
However, she reacted quickly as a pair of vengeful eyes appeared in front of her the moment the hand slid down to her waist.
Lin Ji attacked.
She did not wait for a reply from the figure. The moment when the figure saved Shan Yu, she had sprung a sneak attack from the back with an incredible speed.
It was a form of consciousness.
A form of consciousness that one could get only after experiencing the cruel battlefield. She did not have to bother about greetings and even if her opponent is not as powerful as her, she attacked with the most straightforward method.
However, Lin Ji’s sneak attack was doomed to fail.
The instant she dashed behind the figure, the figure had carried Shan Yu up and rolled towards the front.
“Hmph, go and die!” Lin Ji would definitely not let them off so easily. She chased after the figure without any hesitation.
She was sufficiently confident as after all, there were nobody who was of the Godly State apart from the ancient powerful individuals who came from the Gate of God of the Realm of Monsters and Demons.
Therefore, why would she not chase after the figure?
However, an extremely odd sensation surged from her heart the instant she gave chase, as though as there was a pair of eyes staring at her from behind.
It was an instantaneous instinct.
In other words, it originated from the experience of a powerful individual. She knew from her experience that there were more than one person who came to rescue Shan Yu.
“Then I shall kill the one in front of me first!” Lin Ji clenched her teeth and sped up, pouncing on the figure in front of her.
Then…
Her eyes widened.
It was because as the figure rolled on the ground, it lifted a leg and kicked towards her face.
Was it a coincidence?
Or an accident?
Lin Ji was unsure but she was certain that the kick was very sudden and decisive, as though as the figure could see every single move she had made.
“F*ck…”
Bam!
Lin Ji’s body froze. Before she could finish cursing, the pain on her face stopped her from completing her sentence.
Then… There was no ‘then’…
That was because she was sent flying backwards. However, she forcefully twisted her body such that she flew towards the side instead of directly to the back.
Boom! A rock broke.
Lin Ji’s head fell heavily on a rock such that it was broken into pieces and left a dusty white mark on her head.
Instead of kneeling on the ground, Lin Ji stood up after she fell and took a look at the spot that was directly behind her original position.
“Nobody?! How is that possible!” Lin Ji was really shocked because she clearly felt a pair of eyes staring at the back of her head.
How could there be nobody?
She would not have been distracted and not notice the kick that was directed to her face if not for the strange feeling she felt.
However, now…
Nothing could be done.
The 10,000 Demon soldiers widened their eyes in utter disbelief, staring at the figure who was holding onto Shan Yu’s waist with one hand as though he was a monster.
The silvery-white moon shone in the night sky.
A dim light fell on the figure, giving off an eerie feeling together with the face that was wrapped around with a black cloth which had a huge “God” word written on it.
God was a word that symbolized superiority and gave a mysterious and ancient feeling.
Of course, it represented the peak of power too.
However, after the Gate of God of the Realm of Monsters and Demons had been opened, the experts who had arrived in the world called themselves the “God” and was known to be of the Godly State.
Now, the word “God” seemed to have a new meaning.
“God?!”
“Is this guy another ancient powerful individual?”
“Is he a Demon or a Monster?”
The Demon soldiers were stunned because although they were unsure if another Godly State expert had arrived, they were certain that the figure in front of them was extremely powerful and perhaps, even more powerful than Lin Ji.
“God? You… you are?” Lin Ji had not seen the figure from the front and hence had not noticed the black cloth around his face. Therefore, she sprang a sneak attack without any hesitation after she was punched.
However, after seeing the word “God” on the figure’s face…
She had to suppress her burning anger before she confirmed his identity.
That was Yun Qingwu’s command.
No internal conflicts amongst the experts of the Monster Race and Demon Race should be tolerated.
“I have never heard of such ridiculous request before, forcing me to punch you on your beautiful face. As though that was not enough, you moved your face over after my punch and let me kick it. Sigh… Are you trying to self-harm?” The figure spoke and shook his head as he took a glance at the footprint on Lin Ji’s face.
“Nonsense, tell me your name. Are you a Monster or a Demon?” Lin Ji’s face turned black. Although she obeyed Yun Qingwu’s orders and did not continue with an internal conflict, that did not mean that she was afraid of the guy who had a “God” word on his face. After all, she was a Godly State expert too.
As she spoke, she tried to recall who in the ancient battlefield had the same outfit.
However…
Even after going through almost the entire list, she could not remember who would be so extra to stitch the word “God” on their black cloth.
“Want to know my name? Come, beg me, kowtow to me three times before shouting ‘I’m begging you’. Perhaps I will tell you my name if I feel like it.” The figure spoke again and looked at Lin Ji with disdain.
“Kneel down and kowtow to him thrice…”
“Beg him?”
The surrounding Demon soldiers gave an odd expression when they heard the figure speak as those are the exact words that Lin Ji had told Shan Yu.
“You… are you a Demon or a Monster? Why did you save me?” Shan Yu’s state of mind was clearly different from the Demon soldiers. As the Queen of the Southern Region, she had her own train of thoughts.
The masked person that rescued her was indeed powerful.
However, just like what Lin Ji mentioned, how could such a powerful individual belong to this world? It was almost certain that he was either a Demon or a Monster.
Or maybe…
Lin Ji was putting on an act with the masked figure.
Although Shan Yu did not know what were the motives of Lin Ji and the masked individual, this was not impossible judging from Yun Qingwu’s cunning plots.
“Shut up if you want to live.” The figure took a glance at Shan Yu who was about to struggle and a few spots of radiance that looked like black silk appeared on his hand.
Almost instantly, the radiance that looked like black silk entered Shan Yu’s body, causing her to be unable to move.
This was a sudden turn in event.
Shan Yu paled significantly and stared at the “God” word that was sewn onto the black cloth.
As for Lin Ji…
The change in event made her somewhat surprised. However, this caused her to loosen her grip slightly.
“Have you met the Young Empress?”
“What… Young Empress? Who is the Young Empress?” The figure blinked and looked shocked. Then he looked at Lin Ji with disdain. “You became a slave?”
“Very good! Let me ask you for the final time, who on earth are you? Monster or Demon?” Lin Ji breathed heavily and was significantly angered.
“Woah, you are angry? I love to see how you can’t attack me despite being angry, do you refuse to accept this? If so, come at me, come hit my face that has the “God” word written on it!” The figure laughed in disdain and swayed slightly.
“You are digging your own grave!” Lin Ji exploded. She had suppressed her anger because she wanted to clarify the identity of the figure in front of her. However, that did not mean that she was a Monster that anyone could take advantage of.
To put it frankly, as a Monster who had survived the ancient battlefield, participated in the natural disaster and had survived until now, she was definitely not weak.
Without any hesitation…
Lin Ji clenched her fists and a layer of black scales covered her body. On each scale was a different Cloud Pattern.
“Hold on!” The figure extended on of his hand and waved it at Lin Ji, looking as though he had no intention to attack.
“You have the last chance to speak!” Lin Ji narrowed her eyes. She retreated her feet after taking a step out.
“By your looks… you must be a woman? Oh oh oh, no no, you are a Monster so I can’t call you a woman, the correct term should be a female animal, am I right?” The figure sneered.
“I will kill you!” Lin Ji dashed towards the figure without any hesitation.
The moment when she dashed forward, the scales on her body shook and became upright as though her body was covered with sharp thorns.
“Hahaha… this is right. If you are able to attack then do so. Since I have already destroyed your ‘beautiful face’, isn’t it stupid for you to ask me who I am?” The figure laughed loudly. Along with the black cloth that had the word “God” sewn on it, he looked extremely eerie.
