Chapter 857: Who Can be Killed Cannot be Humiliated
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Blood red light appearing in the iris that was surrounded by pitch-darkness of h.e.l.l. This type of eyes was indeed eerie.
“Attack!” Following a loud roar, a surge of murder flowed like ferocious ocean waves that spread in all directions, lifting all the small rocks from the floor.
The violence was raging continuously.
Yan Xiu moved too. With an extremely fast speed, he dashed towards the monster race like a starving wolf das.h.i.+ng into a herd of sheep.
However…
Were the surrounding monsters sheep?
Of course!
At the instance when Yan Xiu dashed over, one of the monsters was sent flying after being tossed by a black claw that emerged from the ground.
Meanwhile, Yan Xiu leaped quickly, hitting the monster’s head with the silver blood fan on his hand.
Boom!
The monster that took up the human form was turned back into his beast form: a bull-like beast with two huge horns.
Besides that, he spat out a silvery white monster pearl from his mouth.
It was too fast!
It happened so quickly that the surrounding monsters could not react. When the monster pearl appeared, Yan Xiu crumbled it immediately with his hand.
“Ouch!” The monster who took the form of the bull-like beast evidently was unable to take the blow. After letting out a roar, he fell to the ground, dead.
“…”
“…”
At this point in time, not only were the disciples from various sects and the disciples from the holy region stunned by the scene, Fang Zhengzhi also could barely react.
“Wow, transformation?” Fang Zhengzhi did not mind Yan Xiu becoming stronger, but the sudden increase in power definitely surprised him.
Of course, that was not the critical concern. The critical concern came when the few hundred monsters were infuriated by Yan Xiu’s sudden attack.
“Roar!”
“Die, Humans!”
“Attack!”
The b.e.s.t.i.a.lity of the monsters were revealed, they were steaming with rage especially after seeing a fellow monster being killed in such a cruel manner.
However, Yan Xiu did not seem to care about that.
Yan Xiu already made his second move, charging towards another monster like a wolf. Most importantly, that monster had already transformed into a size of a small mountain.
Roar! The giant claw slapped down with a sharp gust of wind, almost completely blocking out the sun. It was obvious that it was the Monster King.
Boom! Yan Xiu’s fist struck the Monster King’s sharp claw. Violent gusts of wind spread in all directions, emitting a deep and dull sound.
And the result…
Of course, the Monster King was sent flying away by the blow.
“So powerful!”
“He could fight head-on with the Monster King!”
“Furthermore, he won!”
The disciples from the various sects were extremely excited upon the sight of Yan Xiu charging into the camp of the monster race.
After all, in the history of humankind, there were only a handful of humankind who had the power to fight head-on with the monster race. Furthermore, in this case, it was fighting against the Monster King.
“It finally fused completely?” Looking at how everything unfolded, Dao Hun was extremely excited, his eyes glowing with excitement.
“Fused completely?” Frowning, Qian Yu also noticed the oddness on Yan Xiu’s body. Then, it struck him, “Is this the legendary original form of Asura that was recorded in the historical books?”
“Indeed, the Dao of Asura is the only Dao of Good and Evil in the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques. But people abandoned the Evil of Dao of Asura, and only chose to promote the Good of it. Without the Evil, the Dao of Asura is incomplete! However, Yan Xiu is different. He is the only Asura that completely fused the Good and Evil in a thousand years!”
“The Good and Evil of the Dao of Asura?”
“Qian Yu, didn’t you think that Fang Zhengzhi had a great potential? Yet now Yan Xiu has become the real Asura, even someone like me cannot win him. Do you still want to view me and Yin Yang Hall as an enemy because of Fang Zhengzhi?” Dao Hun said in an imposing manner.
“Haha…” Qian Yu smiled, pointing to the sky slowly with his fingers. A silvery white moon appeared at the tip of his fingers. “You are wrong. The reason why I stopped you was not because of Fang Zhengzhi, but because I found you… annoying!”
“Qian Yu, you… fine, fine!” Having heard this, Dao Hun did not say much. He spread his arms and pounced on Qian Yu.
Meanwhile, from the sky, Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shans.h.i.+ who were trapped by a few monsters noticed the commotion below. They also noticed both Yun Qingwu and Yan Xiu.
“Yun Qingwu, is her surname… Yun?”
“Fang Zhengzhi seems to know Yun Qingwu personally. Besides that, she was addressed as young lord. Don’t tell me Yun Qingwu is a demon?”
“Demon? By right, the demon race should have broken their ties with the monster race after the great war more than ten years ago. What was the reason that triggered their collaboration?”
“Old man Mu, do you think Yun Qingwu could be the daughter of Emperor Yun of the Demon Race and Monster Emperor Baizhi twenty years ago?”
“Regarding this… I heard that the girl was abandoned by the demon race because of her mixed ident.i.ty and evicted from the Blood Shadow City. If you are right, then we are in trouble!”
“Indeed, the Demon Emperor and Monster Emperor did not love each other, their marriage was simply driven by common interests. However, after the great war more than ten years ago, both of them no longer have any common interests and instead ended up at odds with each other because of their interests. Only the girl could bring the two races together again for a collaboration!”
“No, the girl alone would not have brought the two races together. Unless… they found a common interest again!”
“A common interest again? What will that be?” Mo Shans.h.i.+ had a suspicious expression on his face. Given the current situation, he could not think of any interests that could bring together the two races
“If I guessed correctly, the interest could be related to the plans of the Nangong n.o.bles!” Mu Qingfeng glanced up at the sky, and a long sword appeared in his hand.
That ordinary-looking long sword had a strange design on the blade.
The design looked like a bird. Exuding a mild aura of redness, it felt like the bird could come alive any time.
“Old man Mu, I haven’t seen you draw this sword in more than ten years!” Mo Shans.h.i.+’s eyes lit up when he saw the sword.
“Save the talking, let’s fight a quick battle!”
“Sure!” Mo Shanshe nodded. He placed one hand on his waist and suddenly, a foot long giant black hammer appeared in his hand.
With a pet.i.te frame and a weak palm, it was hilarious to see Mo Shanshe carrying such an incompatible black giant hammer. Nevertheless, not a single of the disciples from the holy region mocked at him. Instead, their expressions were very serious. They were very sure that Valley Master of Fu Xi Valley Mo Shans.h.i.+ had never ever drawn that weapon after the great war over ten years ago.
Of course, everything that happened was ignored by Fang Zhengzhi.
This was because Fang Zhengzhi was facing an unprecedented crisis. After all, he could not abandon Yan Xiu and flee on his own.
So…
It meant that he had to fight alongside Yan Xiu, using the power of two to defeat hundreds of roaring, towering monsters.
What kind of f*ck did he land himself in?
Fang Zhengzhi was not scared of death. Although that was a contributing factor, the primary reason was that he did not feel that it was the final moment to fight.
Go all out, of course!
However, this style of physical fighting with hundreds of monsters did not fit his personality. To be frank, he had always thought he had fought with his wits.
“Charge!” Fang Zhengzhi did not wait longer, because he knew that he did not have a choice. After all, Yan Xiu had already killed a few monsters.
Boom!
Boom!
After Fang Zhengzhi struck with his sword, a corpse dropped to the floor with a silvery white monster pearl floating in midair.
This attracted the attention of more monsters.
Three figures with the build of a hill surrounded him like a triangle, trapping him in the center.
Monster King!
Three Monster Kings!
Besides that, there were countless monsters looming around the three Monster Kings. Every single pair of the monsters’ eyes was filled with the desire of blood.
“Three strikes to kill one monster… To defeat the Monster King, I at least need twenty over strikes… If we distribute the numbers equally, Yan Xiu takes two to three hundred, and I will also take two to three hundred. That adds up to eight or nine thousand strikes? Also, that is a.s.suming I was fighting with my prime condition, and that I would not injure myself or tire myself out…” Fang Zhengzhi felt like saying, “Why do this to me?”
However, he eventually did not say it because he had no time. The surrounding monsters have surged like a wave towards him.
“Attack!”
“Kill Fang Zhengzhi!”
“To seek revenge for young lord!”
When Fang Zhengzhi did his rough calculations using the average distribution principle, he had neglected the fact that the monsters held a much higher level of hatred against him as compared to Yan Xiu.
Evidently, there were way more monsters surrounding Fang Zhengzhi.
Of course, all these were no longer important. Just like silver, upon reaching a certain amount, further addition would only add on to the number, but not the significance.
“Come at me, I will kill all of you today!” Fang Zhengzhi raised his Traceless Sword, slicing the approaching monster into half.
After all, he thought that with a fixed amount of s.p.a.ce around him, the number of monsters that could attack him at any one point of time must be fixed too.
In such situations, if he could remain composed and keep his tempo, it was not as difficult as it seemed.
Fang Zhengzhi believed in his judgment.
However, very quickly, he noticed that something was amiss. On the ground beneath his feet, eight sharp claws suddenly appeared.
“What… Underground? Are these monsters? Alright… they are really monsters!” Fang Zhengzhi realized what he had neglected.
His opponents are monsters!
Legend says there were monsters with all sorts of strange powers. Of course, that included those who could go underneath the ground.
It was true in reality as well.
He could no longer see the sun above his head. Countless winged monsters above him had blocked the sky completely.
Besides that, the monsters kept spitting their “saliva” at him.
“Who can be killed cannot be humiliated!” Fang Zhengzhi would definitely not tolerate this humiliation. Letting out a roar, his body was covered with a thick layer of black armor.
Meanwhile, his body grew rapidly in size, growing by three feet in a blink of an eye. Black flames started burning on his body.
Boom! Fang Zhengzhi threw a punch at the Monster King’s face in front of him, causing his face to be disfigured.
This sudden change of events caused the surrounding monsters to subconsciously retreat their attack by a little.
Fang Zhengzhi made use of this break, reached out his hand above his head, clutching the monster which had been happily spitting its “saliva” on him in one hand and threw the monster hard on the floor.
Crack! The floor cracked. The winged monster moaned, its mouth was covered in blood.
As expected, it felt much better with a bigger build!
Fang Zhengzhi smiled and glanced around.
Earlier on, he was surrounded by hundreds of monsters and had lost the sight of Yun Qingwu. Now with a bigger build, he could see much further. He desperately searched for Yun Qingwu as he did not want to foolishly stay on to fight the rest of the monsters.
“There!” Fang Zhengzhi spotted Yun Qingwu almost immediately. However, he was surprised by the fact that Yun Qingwu had already retraced her steps to a position towards the back.
The strangest thing of all was that Yun Qingwu was not protected heavily with a group of monsters.
Instead, Yun Qingwu only had one figure beside her. That figure was dressed head-to-toe in a black cloak, similar to the surrounding monsters.
Yet, till now, the figure had not revealed his face.
Fang Zhengzhi had always felt that something was strange about the person hiding beneath the cloak. He seemed to be stronger than any other individual he had met before.
