Chapter 1014: Madness Due to Despair

“No!” Mu Xing roared indignantly.
He could feel the power of the golden beams of light. He wanted to escape from it but they had covered his body and was cutting him.
It felt as though tens of thousands of ants were feeding on his body.
The scales on Mu Xing’s body kept splitting apart and his flesh could be seen. Then, his flesh split apart too and his bones were exposed.
It was a terrifying scene.
The more terrifying thing was that the bones were also splitting apart. That was extremely shocking as Mu Xing was a Godly State expert of the Monster Race and had extremely hard bones.
Boom! As Mu Xing’s bones split apart, his body eventually exploded. Instead of a Monster Pearl, a cloud of white powder was left floating in the air.
“…”
“…”
The two Godly State experts behind Mu Xing froze on the spot and looked extremely shocked when they saw this.
A Godly State expert died in one strike of attack!
Moreover, none of his remains were left behind. It was as though he had been swallowed by the beams of golden light.
It was too terrifying!
The two Godly State experts were terrified. They were powerful in the ancient battlefields and were able to defend themselves if they did not encounter the strongest opponents.
However, that was the ancient battlefield.
Yet now, the current world they were in was no longer as cruel as the ancient battlefield. It was “weak” due to the lack of the Reiki energy from the sky and earth.
They had thought they could rule this world.
However, now…
They were encountering death. It could be said to be a coincidence for the “Space-Splitting Demon God” to die when he first arrived in this world. However, were the continuous deaths of other Godly State experts coincidences?
If they were coincidences, then what about the scene ahead of them?
Was it a coincidence for Mu Xing to be killed by Fang Zhengzhi?
He was too powerful!
The two Godly State Experts could not believe how a human could be so powerful to be able to kill a Godly State Expert in such a manner that they could not defend themselves at all.
Moreover…
There was not only one powerful individual like Fang Zhengzhi.
Behind them, there was “Chou Qi” who had turned into a red Tree of God. He suddenly became powerful as well.
Similar to Fang Zhengzhi, “Chou Qi” had killed Lin Yu in one strike of attack.
However, this was still acceptable as, after all, Chou Qi was an exceptionally weird Godly State Expert.
But Fang Zhengzhi?
He was merely an ordinary individual in the world that was lacking in Reiki energy, how could he become so powerful?
The two Godly State experts were extremely terrified.
For the first time in their lives, they felt the danger of the world. This caused them to stop and they even felt like retreating.
However, just at this moment, a figure appeared in front of them and he was carrying a lady in his hands.
“Fang Zhengzhi!” The two Godly State experts could not see Fang Zhengzhi clearly but they saw a pair of eyes.
It was glowing with five different colors and had sparks of silver light. It was so bright that it almost penetrated their hearts.
It also sent chills down their backs.
“Run!” The two Godly State experts wanted to rescue Yun Qingwu but they decided not to as they were in an extremely dangerous situation.
If they died, they would become nothing.
The two Godly State Experts has experienced the cruel ancient battlefield and witnessed countless death scenes. That made them cherish their lives much more.
They did not exchange eye contact.
However, they made the same decision.
They turned and ran.
Boom! The ground cracked.
At that instant, Fang Zhengzhi’s Blazing Qilin Spear also reached them and made a gigantic hole in the floor with one strike of the Blazing Qilin Spear.
Small stones flew and hit the backs of the two Godly State Experts.
Bam!
Bam…
Although the small stones were not extremely sharp, under Fang Zhengzhi’s attack, they were like sharp knives and were extremely powerful.
The two Godly State Experts felt the pain on their backs.
The powerful force almost caused them to fall. If they were not experienced, they would have already fallen onto the ground.
This was merely a broken stone attack by Fang Zhengzhi.
What would happen if they were hit right on their faces?
Gulp! The two Godly State Experts took a deep breath as they could not imagine how terrifying the strike would be if they had not made a run for it.
Or rather, if they had run with a slight hesitation, they would have ended up like Mu Xing.
“Escapist, die!” Just as the two Godly State experts were about to escape from the “cage”, a cold voice was heard
“Die?!” The two Godly State Experts froze.
Just a while ago, they were respected by the Monster Race and Demon Race as Monster Deities and Demon Deities just like “Chou Qi”.
However, now…
They realized that they seemed to have turned into pawns.
Moreover, they are like pawns that were easily disposed of and killed by others.
The two Godly State experts were extremely indignant. They had been sealed and trapped in the galaxy for thousands of years and they ought to be respected and idolized by millions of people after they had descended.
Why did they end up like that?
What was the reason?
It ought to be a battle where they could have won. When Yun Qingwu invited them, they had once disregarded her invitation and felt that Yun Qingwu was being too careful.
Did she need to send out so many Godly State experts to kill the Human Alliance?
That was too exaggerated.
That was what went through the two Godly State Experts’ minds initially. However, in a blink of an eye, only three Godly State experts were left and Yun Qingwu had turned into a servant with her hair entirely white.
It was an unimaginable outcome.
Even until now, the two Godly State experts still could not understand what on earth had happened.
However, this was no longer important as after the roar was heard, two red tree branches had appeared on their bodies.
The two red tree branches penetrated their bodies.
The branches stabbed their chests like two sharp swords and consumed their energy, causing them to feel weaker and weaker.
“So… cruel!”
“Indeed… Chou Qi, we will… never forgive you!”
The two Godly State experts’ bodies shrunk rapidly and their flesh dried up like tree branches.
Meanwhile, the tree branches that had penetrated their chests turned bright red as though blood was flowing on them. The scene made one shudder in fear.
Crack! At this moment, a crisp sound was heard and one of the red tree branches cracked open.
A spear which had flames spurting out of it threw the tree branch to the side.
“Fang Zhengzhi?!” The Godly State Expert, who was almost shriveled up, looked at the broken red tree branch in disbelief. He could not believe that Fang Zhengzhi saved him.
Why did Fang Zhengzhi save him?
Was he trying to show pity?
Or was it because he had a deal with Yun Qingwu…
At this moment, the spear which broke the tree branch stabbed his throat.
“…” The Godly State Expert widened his eyes.
So Fang Zhengzhi did not actually have the intention to save him. Did he break the tree branch in order to kill him by himself?
So he was over-imagining things?
The Godly State expert felt victimized. Moreover, he knew that he would pass away without being able to say anything.
That was because beams of golden light were wound around the spear that had penetrated his throat. It tore his body apart like a sharp spinning knife.
Boom! A loud sound was heard.
Another Godly State Expert had died.
This happened in a blink of an eye. Before the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race could enter the “cage”, two Godly State Experts had died before their eyes.
Moreover, one of the other Godly State Experts was shrinking non-stop. Like a wild flower that was withering in the winter, it shrunk rapidly and was gone in a blink of an eye.
“…”
“…”
The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were stunned.
They did not know how to react to the situation as it was so shocking that they could not think properly.
Dead…
All of them were dead!
All of the three Godly State experts died in front of them.
Just a while ago, the three Godly State experts were standing in front of them and charged into the cage to kill Fang Zhengzhi.
But what happened in the end?
Fang Zhengzhi was still standing in front of them, perfectly unharmed.
However, all of the three Godly State experts who charged into the cage had died. Two of them died because of Fang Zhengzhi and one died because of Sir “Chou Qi”.
Why did this happen?!
They had never felt so helpless before. When Yun Qingwu was leading them, although they lived in agony, they had never felt helpless before.
Yet, what happened in front of them was a huge blow to them.
It was not because of the death of the three Godly State experts but rather because their hopes had perished in an instant.
That feeling…
Was a disappointment.
An intense disappointment towards the Godly State experts, towards “Chou Qi” and towards the future. In fact, they did not even care about their lives anymore.
For some reason, all of the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race turned to look at a lady in Fang Zhengzhi’s arms instantly.
Yun Qingwu!
Their Young Lord, their Young Empress was unconscious with her hair entirely white.
“Young Lord, what exactly happened to you?!”
“Is Young Lord really going to leave us?”
“It’s Fang Zhengzhi who took Young Lord away from us and destroyed our hopes. I want to get Young Lord back, I will get her back no matter what!”
“Yes, kill Fang Zhengzhi and get Young Lord back!”
The disappointment was a huge blow to the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race and they felt that everything was progressing towards complete failure.
However, this disappointment actually evoked the ferocity of the Monster Race and Demon Race.
That was because…
The only emotion they felt was unwillingness.
That was because…
They wanted to get their Young Lord and the hopes that they had lost back.
The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race surged forward like floodwater. They did not retreat or intentionally keep a distance away from Fang Zhengzhi. Instead, they charged towards him like a “pack of wolves”.
“Hmm?!” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race who was charging towards him and felt an overpowering killer aura.
That was definitely not the aura that an ordinary troop should have.
In the past, there were many famous battles where the minority won the majority. For example, the Battle of Red Cliffs in the Three Kingdoms era and the Battle of Poyang Lake in the Ming Dynasty.
There were many such battles.
However, these battles usually involved a combination of factors of nature, manpower, and schemes. It could be considered as something wondrous but not something to do with bravery.
However, there was a battle that could be considered the bravest battle of all times.
It was the “Battle of Pengcheng” during the era where Xiang ahh and Liu Bang fought.
In that battle, Liu Bang had a troop of 560,000 soldiers while Xiang Yu only had 30,000.
560,000 against 30,000 was an extremely exaggerated ratio.
Even though the victory could be credited to Xiang Yu’s commands, in the situation where there was a huge disparity in terms of the size of the force, the reason for victory could only be…
Bravery!
Xiang Yu’s bravery and the bravery of the 30,000 soldiers caused Liu Bang to suffer the worst loss in his life, his troop of 560,000 soldiers suffered grave injuries and countless deaths.
While facing the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race, Fang Zhengzhi thought of the word “bravery”.
Of course, the bravery of the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race did not originate from Nangong Mu or the three dead Godly State experts.
It came from Yun Qingwu!
While facing a desperate situation, they were furiously searching for their last hope.
They went all out and had no concerns as they were ready to fight to their death.
“Sigh, Yun Qingwu…” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yun Qingwu, her closely shut eyes, her pale but beautiful face, and her snow-white long hair.
“Attack!” One of the spears of the Demon soldiers stabbed towards Fang Zhengzhi.
Fang Zhengzhi blocked the attack and the spear of the Demon soldier broke apart. His body was swallowed by the flames and he turned into ashes.
However, instead of indignance in his eyes, Fang Zhengzhi saw an expression of relief.
“Attack!” The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race dashed forward and attacked Fang Zhengzhi from all directions, each of them showing wildness in their eyes.
