Gate of God

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples did not want Fang Zhengzhi to die. However, they knew that there was no chance of him surviving.

Tian Xing’s strength was crazy.

He was one of the most powerful cultivators of the Holy Region. Furthermore, he used his lineage for his attack. For his second move, he would surely show no mercy.

“Hmph! He dares to play tricks on master!”

“So childish! How can master for his tricks?”

“This b*stard is so naïve!”

The Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples hated Fang Zhengzhi with a vengeance. Of course, this was in part due to Chi Guyan. After all, there was nothing they could do to Chi Guyan.

Naturally, they transferred their unhappiness onto Fang Zhengzhi.

They wanted him to die.

This would help them recover the Thousand Years Fire Herb. Doing so would reduce the loss of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain. They had to get something back.

While they may not gain anything, this would help reduce their fury.

“Kaboom!” At this moment, Tian Xing’s body finally emerged from the black hole. The black light disappeared instantly.

However, his black robes were streaked with dirt.

Furthermore…

The moment Tian Xing emerged, the disciples from both the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Nine Pinnacles Mountain both opened their eyes in shock. They could not believe their eyes.

This was because Tian Xing did not emerge ‘carrying a corpse’, which was what they had expected. Instead, he emerged empty-handed.

What was going on?

Both Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples both filled with suspicion.

Could it be that Fang Zhengzhi was still alive?

How could this be possible?

If he was dead, why did Tian Xing not carry his corpse out? In his body, there was a stalk of the Thousand Years Fire Herb.

Questions surfaced in everyone’s mind.

However, Tian Xing did not explain the situation to his disciples. In fact, he seemed to be in a bad mood, an extremely foul mood.

“Fang Zhengzhi, you b*stard. Good job!” Tian Xing looked into the distance. He looked into the distance and stared at a figure, which was in a sorrier state than him. His eyes brimmed with a cold light.

This action by Tian Xing stunned the disciples from both the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.

However, they did not remain stunned for long.

Quickly…

They all became shocked. Not only were they shocked, they were also incredulous. These sentiments could clearly be felt among all of them.

“Could it be that he really managed to rush up?!”

“Impossible, how did he do it?”

“Was it a coincidence?”

No one could believe it.

“It was the end of the line for me, but I found a way to live!” Fang Zhengzhi shouted his reply to Tian Xing. At the same time, he answered the doubts that the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples had.

However, as he said that, he looked subconsciously down at the figure clad in a long, pink dress.

Chi Guyan.

Fate had brought Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan together many times.

For example, when he was just six years old, he and Chi Guyan had a fight at the little stream outside the Southern Mountain Village. Afterward, when he was 15 years old, he met Chi Guyan, who wore the white robes of a scholar, at the same stream.

However, if one wished to talk about the first proper time they met…

It was in the Divine Constabulary.

That time, Chi Guyan’s beauty astounded all of the officials of the Northern Lands Five Constabularies. It was then when he and Chi Guyan were forced into a marriage pact under strange circumstances.

When that happened, Fang Zhengzhi declared, “It was the end of the line for me, but I found a way to live.”

The first thing Fang Zhengzhi saw when he crawled out of the black hole was Chi Guyan. This made him think of this plan.

It was very risky…

However, its results satisfied him.

Of course, Fang Zhengzhi had thought about what he could do if the plan failed. The answer was not complicated. Since he could not survive three moves, why not fight?

“You’re at the end of the line, but you found a way to leave?” When Tian Xing heard this, he quietly repeated Fang Zhengzhi’s words under his breath. Then, he started to laugh, “Hahaha! Not bad! You should be proud of yourself for having tricked me!”

“Three moves, you have one left!” Fang Zhengzhi looked down. Victory and defeat rested with the last move. He naturally could not help but be careful.

“That’s right… one last move. Guess I’ll use my full strength!” Tian Xing nodded his head to show that his agreement with Fang Zhengzhi’s words.

The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples and the Nine Pinnacle Mountain disciples exchanged looks. They wore different expressions on their faces. Some of them were shocked, others appeared to be anticipating something.

After all, if there was just one move left like what Fang Zhengzhi and Tian Xing had said…

What would the results be?

Had it been just now, they would have thought that Fang Zhengzhi was dead meat. However, right now, they started to consider other possibilities.

One move left. What would Tian Xing do?

How would Fang Zhengzhi defend against the last move?

No one could guess the results.

Emperor Lin Mubai and the Xian King Lin Yun were both anxious. They naturally hoped that Fang Zhengzhi could live. There was still hope for him to survive the last move.

The two other emperors next to them were making their own guesses too.

“Can he win?”

“I don’t know. Fang Zhengzhi is visibly injured. He can’t resist another one of Tian Xing’s attack. However, there is a possibility of a miracle!”

“Yes, I don’t know why but I’m hoping for a miracle.”

The two emperors discussed this earnestly. However, they soon fell silent too. This was because Tian Xing had started to move. He did not rush forward but instead, he dusted the dirt off his clothes.

“In all honesty, I’m suddenly curious about you. So, before you die, I want to ask you some questions,” said Tian Xing.

“You can ask me, but I may not answer you,” said Fang Zhengzhi, twitching his mouth. He did not know what objective did Tian Xing have in mind.

Perhaps he was curious, or perhaps he was testing him…

This was not important. The most important thing was that Fang Zhengzhi did not have enough energy to speak because drops of blood were welling up like rainwater in his chest. They were slowly ascending into his mouth.

“Eh, it’s your choice whether you want to answer me or not. I just want to ask you, did you master the Life and Death State of the Dao of Yin Ying before you came to the Heaven Dao Pavilion, or was it during your battle with Wan Lei?” Tian Xing asked. He did not care about Fang Zhengzhi’s attitude.

“If I answer your question, what benefits will I get?” Fang Zhengzhi shot back.

“Hurhur. Of course, you’ll be compensated. If your answer satisfies me, I’ll use only 90% of my strength for my last attack,” replied Tian Xing. It was as if he had anticipated Fang Zhengzhi’s response.

“How many questions do you have?”

“Two.”

“This means that if I answer both your questions satisfactorily. You’ll only use 80% of your strength?”

“Yes, this is what I meant.”

“Before I answer your questions, can I ask you something first?”

“Oh? You want to ask me something? Sure, go ahead!” Tian Xing was slightly confused, but he nodded his head lightly in the end.

“‘Shut up and fight’, do you know this principle?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Tian Xing as he spoke these words calmly.

“…”

At this moment, time appeared to have come to a still. The sun was still obscured while starlight twinkled in the sky.

However, every single Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciple looked as if they had all swallowed a fly. If not for Tian Xing, they would have rushed up and beaten Fang Zhengzhi to death.

“What is he thinking?”

“Who the f*ck knows? He’s rude indeed!”

“Despicable! I’m so pissed off!”

The disciples of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain were all enraged.

The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples were speechless. They all wore weird expressions on their faces. They did not know what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking.

“Hahaha. Interesting, very interesting!” Tian Xing was stunned for a moment. Then, he burst out laughing. However, his laughter this time was cold.

He did not ask any more questions. He did not pause anymore.

He attacked straightaway.

However, unlike what everyone was expecting, Tian Xing did not charge forward straightaway. Instead, he stood where he was and a solid black light shone from his body like water from a fountain.

However, this light did not spread but instead, it solidified as it came into contact with his body. Instantly, it turned into a black armor.

From the looks of it, this armor was similar to the one the red-haired hunk used. The only difference was…

On this armor, there were countless complicated patterns. These patterns were all tiny, but there were many, complicated runes on them.

“It appears that we can tell her that there’s no use waiting.” Cang Yue from the Ling Yun Tower, who had been watching all this while quietly from the crowd, spoke as a light glinted in her eyes.

When Mu Qingfeng saw Tian Xing’s armor, his expression changed too. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words.

“Shameless thief, use all your powers! Tian Xing has unleashed his Blood Source!” Chi Guyan, who had been biting down on her lips to keep silent, suddenly opened her mouth and spoke.

Her bright eyes shone like stars in the night sky. In it, one could see many multi-colored lights shining. However, the light disappeared almost as quickly as they had appeared.

“Blood Source?” Fang Zhengzhi’s expression froze. He did not understand the significance of these two words. However, he knew that if it forced Chi Guyan to open her mouth to speak, it must be pretty powerful.

All his powers?
