Chapter 923: The Sword of the Battle God, Would You Believe that My Hand Trembled?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The giant black rocks kept falling to the ground, causing the Demonic Halls to tremble violently as the metal pillars were gradually revealed.
Rumble!
“…”
The giant rocks fell on the ground, causing the entire Blood Shadow City to tremor as if it was about to collapse.
Crack! The crack on the floor extended. The terrifying tearing force and the powerful collision almost caused the entire Demonic Hall to split into two.
A strike of the sword had split the entire Demonic Hall apart!
How terrifying was that?
The Demon soldiers were stunned as they saw the Demonic Hall collapse. The immense shock from their heart made them feel as though their bodies were not theirs anymore.
Meanwhile, Ying Dao and the few elders of the demon race fell on the grond in the Demonic Hall with their eyes widened as blood stained their bodies.
“Meng Tian, Sagely Battle God Meng Tian!”
“So this is Meng Tian?!”
“The Sagely Battle God Meng Tian who had once split upon the Blood Shadow City with a strike of his sword and chased after the Demon Lord for thousands of miles!”
If there was a kind of fear that originated from the soul, the strike undoubtedly caused the elders of the Demon Race, Domain Chiefs and the Domain Chief to feel this fear.
“Cough cough…” Violent coughs could be heard in the dust before Emperor Yun who was covered in dust got up slowly from the wreckage.
However, when he saw the collapsed Demonic Hall beside him, his body shook and his eyes became bloodshot.
As the Emperor of the Demon Race, how humiliating was it for him to see how the Demonic Hall was split apart by someone else.
At this moment, a soft voice was heard.
“This sword… is so ordinary.” A figure walked slowly to the Demon Lord while holding on to a long sword that was completely broken.
Evidently, the powerful force could not be withstood by any ordinary swords as Fang Zhengzhi’s sword had been broken by the powerful force.
“Sword?!” Emperor Yun’s eyes widened again as he looked towards the North. There was a small village and a person stood with a Traceless Sword in his hand. The sword seemed to be the sword that was used to split apart the Blood Shadow City in the past.
The sword of the Sagely Battle God was in the Northern Mountain Village.
However, despite that…
The powerful Sagely Battle God Meng Tian could still split apart the most sturdy Demonic Hall in the Blood Shadow City into two with an ordinary sword.
How terrifying was that.
“Hundred years ago, I made a strike with my sword in the Blood Shadow City. Today, I will make another strike and that’s sufficient!” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Emperor Yun in the ruins and at the Elders of the Demon Race and Domain Chiefs who had stood up, as well as the Demon soldiers who had surrounded him.
“Make another strike and that’s sufficient, what do you mean…” Before Emperor Yun could finish his sentence, “Meng Tian” had disappeared in front of him.
This gave him an extremely bad premonition. Earlier on, he had kicked Ying Dao in the Demonic Hall and confidently claimed that he could protect himself even if he was fighting against Meng Tian.
However, the reality was…
The Demonic Hall had been split into two.
Now that Meng Tian had disappeared again, chills went down his back.
“Meng Tian, you won’t be able to kill me!” As Emperor Yun said this, a sword as black as ink appeared in his hand.
At that instant when the long sword appeared, a pair of black wings grew from Emperor Yun’s back. When the two wings expanded, they turned into two swirls of whirlwind that protected Emperor Yun from the left and the right and sent him flying at an extremely fast speed towards the sky.
However, before Emperor Yun reached two meters high, a figure had appeared at the top of his head and a foot stomped down on him violently.
This foot stomped down extremely quickly and powerfully, such that Emperor Yun who was flying up towards the sky could not dodge it at all.
Bam!
Yun Di only felt that his face was forcefully pressed on a hard metal board such that he heard a buzzing sound.
After that, he felt that his body was being stomped down by someone else and fell deeply into the small rocks without any resistance.
It happened too quickly.
At this speed, the elders and Domain Chiefs around the Demon Lord could not save him even if they wanted to. Moreover, as “Meng Tian” stepped on the Demon Lord, he placed the broken sword in his hand onto the throat of the Demon Lord.
“You…” Emperor Yun wanted to move but he felt a cold sensation on his neck just as his body moved up an inch. It seemed like he touched a broken sword.
However, the sharp edge of the broken sword had already made a cut on his neck and blood dripped down.
Emperor Yun looked at “Meng Tian” who had stepped on him and could not speak due to his overwhelming shock.
Meanwhile, Meng Tian’s attention was not on Emperor Yun’s face but rather on the pair of black wings behind him.
“This pair of wings… seems to be great!” Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up. He was not surprised with the kind of protective artifacts Emperor Yun had as after all, he was a Demon Lord and ought to own some impressive artifacts.
With this thought, Fang Zhengzhi bent down slowly and touched the black wings of the Demon Lord with his left hand.
“What do you want to do?!” Emperor Yun’s face turned pale. As a Demon Lord, he had been repeatedly humiliated until he was going mad, yet now, the “Meng Tian” in front of him seemed to be eyeing for the “Black-Golden Wings” behind his back. How could he tolerate this?
“Nothing much, just lend me this pair of wings to play around with. Besides that, do you mind heading to the Holy Region with me, Sir Demon Lord? Fang Zhengzhi smirked as he looked around him with a relaxed and casual vibe.
“You want to kidnap me? Instead of killing…”
“Hmm, don’t you feel extremely happy that you had just escaped from death? Don’t be in a hurry to thank me because your life would be even more miserable than death in the future!” Fang Zhengzhi broke off Emperor Yun’s sentence, placed a hand on his shoulder and lifted him up from the ground.
“Meng Tian, let Sir Demon Lord go!”
“Let Sir Demon Lord go or you won’t be able to leave the Blood Shadow City!”
“Let Sir Demon Lord go now!”
The elders of the demon race’s expressions changed when they saw “Meng Tian” lifting Demon Lord up with one hand. After all, they never expected such an outcome.
They saw the Demon Lord being kidnapped with their own eyes?
Furthermore, the person who kidnapped him was alone, how could they tolerate this?
“Stop talking nonsense, move aside or I will kill him right now.” Fang Zhengzhi frowned.
“Will you be able to leave even if you killed Sir Demon Lord?”
“So… You want to try?” Fang Zhengzhi raised his eyebrows and stabbed the chest of the Demon Lord with his sword.
Slash!
The entire blade of the sword sank into the Demon Lord’s body.
“Ah!” Emperor Yun shouted in agony.
Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi took a look at his surroundings with his eyes bloodshot.
“I said, move aside!” Fang Zhengzhi’s voice was extremely cold.
“Hurry, move aside!”
“Do not attack, Sir Demon Lord is with him!”
“Move aside, quickly!”
The elders of the demon race and the Domain Chiefs finally moved and nobody dared to block Fang Zhengzhi as Fang Zhengzhi had drew the sword out from the Demon Lord’s chest and raised his hand again.
Slash! The sword stabbed the thighs of the Demon Lord and blood spurted out and flowed down the thighs of the Demon Lord, turning the entire ground red.
“Meng Tian, they have already moved aside, why are you still hurting me?!”
“Oh, sorry, my hand trembled.” Fang Zhengzhi drew the sword out and stabbed the arm of the Demon Lord.
Slash!
“…”
The Demon Lord trembled.
Apart from the Demon Lord, the surrounding elders and Domain Chiefs’ expressions changed drastically and nobody dared to utter another word.
“It trembled again, you have no objections to that, right?” Fang Zhengzhi asked the Demon Lord with sincerity.
“…” Emperor Yun’s lips moved and wanted to say something but swallowed his words eventually. He clenched his teeth and endured the excruciating pain.
“If there are no further objects, then let’s go!” As Fang Zhengzhi said this, he lifted the Demon Lord and ran towards the gate of the Blood Shadow City.
It was not because he did not want to take the opportunity to kill a few more elders or Domain Chiefs, but rather because he did not have time to waste further.
The reason was simple. At this moment, there were Shan Yu and three other Settlement Chiefs of the Southern Region. Their identities had been exposed when Fang Zhengzhi split open the Demonic Hall.
When “Meng Tian” appeared in front of the Demonic Hall, those who were impersonating Meng Tian could no longer continue their act.
Fang Zhengzhi was very certain about this.
And this was why he decided to not kill Emperor Yun yet.
That was because once he killed Emperor Yun, he would have triggered the entire Demon Race in the Blood Shadow City to kill. If that was the case, he would have to fight his way through to the gate of the Blood Shadow City.
That would be wild!
Furthermore, he was a little agitated when he thought of it.
Fang Zhengzhi had actually given this possibility a thought, however, he changed his mind the instant he placed his sword on the Demon Lord’s throat.
The reason was because he needed to end the battle and leave the Blood Shadow City as quickly as possible. He was not afraid but he knew that the lives of those who were fighting outside the Blood Shadow City would be in danger if he chose to act this way.
Fang Zhengzhi had to take revenge for the 25 lives in the Northern Mountain Village.
However, this did not mean that Fang Zhengzhi could sacrifice the lives of the people outside the Blood Shadow City just because he wanted to complete the task as quickly as possible. Moreover, he did not want to see the Demon Lord die a quick death. He wanted to put double the pain that the 25 lives of the villagers onto the Demon Lord. He wanted the villagers of the Northern Mountain Village to take revenge for their family members.
“Great Elder, what do we do?” One of the Domain Chiefs turned to the respected Great Elder.
“No, no…” The Great Elder shook his head violently and had a complicated expression on his face.
“No? Great Elder, what is wrong?”
“If the real Meng Tian had managed to get into the Blood Shadow City and the Demonic Hall, then… who are those outside the Blood Shadow City?” The Great Elder of the demon race narrowed his eyes before widening them. “Hurry, pass down my order, take down the fake Meng Tian outside the Blood Shadow City and exchange him for our Demon Lord!”
“Fake Meng Tian? Outside the city…”
“Roger!”
“Hurry, pass down the order!”
“Leave with me, Domain Chiefs, we have to take down the fake Meng Tian before Meng Tian reached the gates!” Ying Dao’s voice was heard. Although one of his sabers had been broken and his body was stained with blood, he jumped up from the ground and dashed towards the gates of the Blood Shadow City.
After seeing this, the other Domain Chiefs looked at each other and caught up without any hesitation.
…
Fang Zhengzhi had to pass through the nine gates in the Blood Shadow City before he could exit the city.
Furthermore, he was holding onto the Demon Lord…
“It is Sir Demon Lord!”
“That is Meng Tian?! Meng Tian caught Sir Demon Lord!”
“Hurry, block him!”
The Demon soldiers instinctively tried to block Fang Zhengzhi when they saw Fang Zhengzhi charging towards them.
“Stand aside or I will kill the Demon Lord!” Fang Zhengzhi demanded coldly and raised his broken sword.
At this moment, a beam of golden light rose from the Demonic Hall into the sky and lit up the night sky.
Most importantly, there were a few clear words in that beam of light.
“Take down the Fake Meng Tian outside the City!”
“So they have figured it out?” Fang Zhengzhi narrowed his eyes and spotted a few figures running at an extremely fast speed towards the gate of the city.
It was none other than Ying Dao and a few Domain Chiefs. They did not run towards Fang Zhengzhi or take a look at him.
It was evident that their goal was very clear.
