Chapter 864: Unpredictability of the G.o.d and Ghost
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Coincidentally attacked Yan Xiu?” Fang Zhengzhi was unsure of what went through Monster Emperor Baizhi’s mind. However, he was sure that if Monster Emperor Baizhi wanted to kill Yan Xiu, there could only be two outcomes.
Firstly, Fang Zhengzhi blocked the attack of Monster Emperor Baizhi for Yan Xiu. In this case, Monster Emperor Baizhi’s power is depleted. Fang Zhengzhi suffers grave injuries while Yan Xiu remains alive.
Secondly, Monster Emperor Baizhi blocks Fang Zhengzhi with her body to stop him from rescuing Yan Xiu, which was equivalent to forcefully blocking Fang Zhengzhi’s attack. In this case, although Yan Xiu will die, the infuriated Fang Zhengzhi would definitely be able to trap Monster Emperor Baizhi successfully.
These two outcomes…
Regardless of which, it requires time.
Whereas if Monster Emperor Baizhi decides to give up on killing Yan Xiu, she could get away with the most amount of time without consuming any energy.
“There is only one reason for her to be so desperately fighting for time!” Fang Zhengzhi stared in the direction above his head, towards the figure standing on the top of the Tree of G.o.d.
Nangong Hao!
However, why did Monster Emperor Baizhi decide to attack Nangong Hao?
Could it be that she did not want the Door of the Realm of G.o.d to open? Or did she want to kill Nangong Hao like Fang Zhengzhi did?
Wait a minute!
If Monster Emperor Baizhi really wanted to kill Nangong Hao, or did not want to the Door of the Realm of G.o.d to open, she could have attacked long ago and not have waited till now.
“The other two doors, Monster Emperor Baizhi’s target is the other two doors!” Fang Zhengzhi suddenly realized. However, he could not possibly stop Monster Emperor Baizhi. Be it capabilities or speed, he knew that he could not win Monster Emperor Baizhi.
Yet, two people could.
Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shans.h.i.+!
The two of them were located between Monster Emperor Baizhi and Nangong Hao. With the capabilities of these two, blocking Monster Emperor Baizhi should not be a problem.
As he thought, there was a thunderous explosion across the sky.
Boom! With a loud explosion, the sky was struck into two and lit up the dark sky instantly.
Meanwhile, Monster Emperor Baizhi disappeared. After which, she appeared above Nangong Hao’s head. She had circ.u.mvented Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shans.h.i.+ who were blocking her way to Nangong Hao.
It was a strange scene.
It felt as though Monster Emperor Baizhi had made use of the thunder, or used the thunder as a stepping ladder to advance to the top.
“She’s so fast!”
“How did she get up there?!”
The disciples beneath could not react at all. After all, they recalled how Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shans.h.i.+ both took a long time to chase after Nangong Hao.
Yet Monster Emperor Baizhi seemed to have teleported?
The height of the Tree of G.o.d?
She arrived using the duration of a thunder?!
Even Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shans.h.i.+ were evidently shocked. Their eyes showed that they were terrified.
Fang Zhengzhi was also stunned.
“What on earth?!” Fang Zhengzhi had seen various exaggerated tactics, however, this extent of exaggeration was unacceptable to him.
Controlling the path of lightning?
Then, making use of the path of lighting to conduct some form of “teleportation”?
Fang Zhengzhi had seen Prince Li of the First Rank perform a similar tactic once. When Prince Li of the First Rank was performing the sealing of the seven colors, he had made use of the clouds in the sky to camouflage and acc.u.mulate power.
But as compared to Monster Emperor Baizhi’s tactic…
Prince Li of the First Rank’s tactic could be said to be childish.
Most importantly, the tactic performed by Monster Emperor Baizhi was extremely pure, it focused on increasing the speed to fuse the body and lightning so as to achieve the speed of the lightning.
It sounded very simple.
However, performing this tactic was extremely difficult. One had to complete the fusion of the body and lightning in a short period of time as a second’s delay could cause one to be struck by thunder.
Moreover, if any part of the body could not fuse with lightning, one could suffer from injuries.
But Monster Emperor Baizhi?
When she appeared above Nangong Hao, there were completely no creases on her clothes and her hair did not show any signs of being burnt by the thunder.
It could not be denied that the monster race was born with an advantage as they could control the sun and moon, the thunderstorm and fire. They took in the essence of the sun and the moon, and breathed out the spiritual energy of the sky and earth.
“Hao’er, watch out!” Nangong Tian’s voice could be heard. He looked extremely desperate, but it seemed to be too late.
At that moment, Monster Emperor Baizhi moved too.
Once again, she slapped Nangong Hao, a flash of dim light flashed past her eyes.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was extremely shocked when he saw that flash of light.
He had seen a similar light before.
However…
That flash of light appeared in the “Young Bai Fei”, yet now, this dim light appeared in the eyes of Yun Qingwu. Fang Zhengzhi subconsciously fell into a state of confusion.
“Illusion!” Fang Zhengzhi did not feel like helping Nangong Hao, but he felt compelled to remind him at that point in time despite knowing that it would unlikely work.
As predicted by Fang Zhengzhi, when Monster Emperor Baizhi slapped down, Nangong Hao raised his hands. However, halfway through the motion, he froze on the spot with a face of confusion.
White and red, two colors shone on Nangong Hao’s body. Like a chain that entangled him, Nangong Hao was trapped.
However, this could not stop Monster Emperor Baizhi’s slap.
With a slap, the light broke!
The sun, moon and stars immediately became dark!
Similar to the slap on Yan Xiu’s body, the slap that Monster Emperor Baizhi left on Nangong Hao’s chest did not produce too much movements or sound.
Spit! Fresh blood was spat out from Nangong Hao’s mouth.
At that instant, Monster Emperor Baizhi started waving her hands continuously. Every move she made was very complicated and she looked as though she was conducting a ritual.
“Stop her!” Mu Qingfeng finally reacted. As he spoke, he transformed into a beam of light and sprang towards Monster Emperor Baizhi.
Mo Shans.h.i.+ was stunned. Then, the wings on his back flapped and he flew towards Monster Emperor Baizhi with a speed quicker than Mu Qingfeng.
However, it was too late.
Monster Emperor Baizhi had stopped her movement. She gave a light smile, a beautiful and alluring one.
Instead of looking at Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shans.h.i.+ who were approaching her, she quietly looked at Nangong Hao. She looked as though she was admiring a beautiful artwork.
“G.o.dly charm, the skill of stealing souls!” Monster Emperor Baizhi said softly as her eyes glowed suddenly.
Buzz! The sky and earth shook.
Circles of light descended from the sky. Like raindrops, they fell to the ground, as though the sky was raining light.
At this moment, everyone including the disciples, Yan Yin who was das.h.i.+ng towards the sky, Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shans.h.i.+, stopped moving.
Almost everyone had a perplexed expression on their faces.
Of course, there was one exception. Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes shut immediately when the light shone in Monster Emperor Baizhi’s eyes.
However, despite this, Monster Emperor Baizhi’s alluring voice when she said “G.o.dly charm, the skill of stealing souls” still made his heart flutter.
“F*ck, this old wretch… is powerful!” Fang Zhengzhi rarely praises someone, even when he met Mu Qingfeng after he first entered the Holy Region and Heaven Dao Pavilion.
However, this time he had to admit that the ancient saying that goes “as old as a alluring woman, as strong as a dog” was real.
So, what should he do?
Breaking illusion was not his expertise.
To put it nicely, he could barely resist illusion. To put it more frankly, he was a novice in the realm of illusion.
Nevertheless, he was proud to be a novice!
Fang Zhengzhi displayed the style of a proud novice. Therefore, as the only “powerful” individual who was conscious, he felt that he had to act.
For example…
Curse and swear or sing a mountain song.
Fang Zhengzhi chose the latter. After all, he had high standards for himself and was well-educated. How could he possibly curse and swear to the old wretch?
“The blossoms blooming wildly on the mountain top…! How red… and gorgeous!” Since Fang Zhengzhi chose to sing, he decided to go all out. Things like protecting his voice was disregarded as he sang with a voice that sounded like hundred male ducks quacking wildly.
He was proud of how he had edited the lyrics on the spot, added a little rhetoric devices to make the howling more pa.s.sionate, effective and impactful.
In the end…
It was unexpected.
At the very least, Monster Emperor Baizhi’s smile stiffened again. Despite her reluctance, she turned towards Fang Zhengzhi.
Confusion and complexity appeared in her pair of eyes which were emitting radiance.
One could not blame Monster Emperor Baizhi for not having a firm state of mind as n.o.body would have expected for someone to start singing the mountain song after she had cast her spell.
What’s more, he sounded like a male duck quacking!
“This brat… having a screw loose?” Monster Emperor Baizhi was not surprised that Fang Zhengzhi was not affected by her illusion spell, however, she was surprised by his odd behavior.
Yet, very quickly, her expression changed. She realized that after Fang Zhengzhi sang with that hoa.r.s.e voice, the people who were initially in a daze moved.
The first to regain their senses were Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shans.h.i.+, as well as Yan Yin and Qian Yu. Afterwards, the disciples gradually regained their senses too.
Pairs of eyes which were initially still began to move slowly. From experience, Monster Emperor Baizhi knew it was the early signs of the escape from the control of the illusion spell.
“,,,” Monster Emperor Baizhi did not know what to say anymore. This time round, she really had nothing to say, and did not know what she could say.
Say Fang Zhengzhi had a screw loose?
Obviously not!
It was precisely the nondescript mountain song that Fang Zhengzhi sang that broke the raindrop spell cast by her.
Even though the raindrop spell was not difficult to be broken, she could not accept the fact that it was broken with this method.
Succeeding unknowingly?
Monster Emperor Baizhi wanted to credit his success to this reason, but it was not possible for one to succeed unknowingly multiple times.
Luck?
Bizarreness?
Monster Emperor Baizhi was not naive. She eliminiated these words very quickly, only a phrase remained in her heart for a long time…
The phrase was…
Unpredictability of the G.o.d and Ghost!
Of course, it was no longer important. What was more important was whether Fang Zhengzhi was able to wake up Nangong Hao who was under the spell of “G.o.dly charm, the skill of stealing souls”.
Although Nangong Hao frowned, he remained dazed and his eyes did not move.
In that case, nothing significant was affected.
With his hands moving slightly, Nangong Hao slowly took a step forward. Then, one of his hands grabbed two out of three of the fruits in front of him.
At this moment, Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shans.h.i.+’s eyes were back to normal. Trembling, their forehead was covered in sweat.
“Who was the one singing…”Mu Qingfeng did not complete his sentence because he noticed what Nangong Hao was doing, “Old man Mo, wake up!”
“I am already awake!” Mo Shans.h.i.+ moved as he spoke. His wings flapped again and without waiting for Mu Qingfeng, he flew to Monster Emperor Baizhi who was less than ten steps away from him.
“Valley Master Mo, the slap I gave you more than ten years ago, does it still hurt?” Monster Emperor Baizhi stared at Mo Shans.h.i.+ and smiled as though she had no worries. She touched his face gently with one hand while giving a bright smile.
People of the past used countless punchlines phrases to describe woman’s charms. A glance, a smile, a simple movement could all become a punchline.
Yet, for Monster Emperor Baizhi…
All these punchlines were not effective because simply by standing there, Monster Emperor Baizhi exuded a charm that penetrated the souls.
All these seemed to hit Mo Shans.h.i.+’s heart and as though he had sunk into a swamp, it caused him to pause his actions.
“Eh? Don’t tell me Mo Shans.h.i.+ and the old wretch were involved in a scandal?” At that moment, Fang Zhengzhi’s voice could be heard again.
