Gate of God

“Old wretch…”

“Scandal?!”

When Mo Shanshi heard this, his body trembled in anger and his face flushed red with fury.

As a valley master of the Fu Xi Valley, how could he be accused to be involved in a scandal with the wretch?

How could he endure that?

“Rubbish. I have always lived a virtuous life. How could I possibly be involved in…” Mo Shanshi’s expression changed suddenly as he spoke.

However, it was too late.

He could clearly see Monster Emperor Baizhi’s face turn ugly and her lips were quivering.

“Brat, you landed me in trouble!” Mo Shanshi felt extremely bitter. Subconsciously, a voice in his head told him that there would be grave consequences as Monster Emperor Baizhi was infuriated.

He wanted to run!

But how?

He was the one who dashed forward regardless of his own safety. If he was to turn around and flee, how embarrassed would he, as a valley master of the Fu Xi Valley, be?

“Fight till the end!” Mo Shanshi clenched his teeth. He could not possibly lose his reputation like that. His reputation was more valuable than his life after he had achieved his high status.

However, the thought of fighting with Monster Emperor Baizhi made him a little worried.

It was impossible to win!

What should he do?

Mo Shanshi was in a dilemma. However, he did not have time to deliberate over this as Monster Emperor Baizhi had already dashed towards him.

How terrifying could the infuriated Monster Emperor Baizhi be?

Regarding this question…

Fang Zhengzhi was not keen on answering, but he clearly felt it from the loud slap that resonated through the air.

Mo Shanshi was slapped!

Furthermore, he was slapped right on the face!

The sound was extremely loud and clear.

As for the movement, Fang Zhengzhi did not see very clearly. However, he roughly saw a lightning flashing on top of Mo Shanshi’s head for a brief second before vanishing into thin air.

Then, Mo Shanshi was slapped right on the face.

Astonished, Mo Shanshi froze.

“Sigh…” Fang Zhengzhi sighed. He could see the redness on Mo Shanshi’s face, not sure if it was caused by the slap or his anger. However, he felt the need to remind Mo Shanshi as he could sense that there were some words that he had not yet spoken.

“Valley Master Mo, if I were you, I would no longer be able to live without humiliation if I did not return the slap!”

“You brat, shut up!” Mo Shanshi’s face turned blue. He clearly needed to vent his anger and Fang Zhengzhi’s words gave him a chance to do so even though it was not satisfying enough.

“Scolding me for my good intentions?” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head. As a innocent guy who was scolded for his advice, he felt the need to express his thoughts.

“Ah!!!” Mo Shanshi was infuriated.

Not sure if it was because of Monster Emperor Baizhi’s slap or Fang Zhengzhi’s provocation, Mo Shanshi was clearly burning with anger.

Burning with anger and his face as red as pig liver, Mo Shanshi raised both of his arms and hammered down on Monster Emperor Baizhi heavily. He went all out.

Boom! The thunders rumbled.

As one of the most powerful in the Holy Region, Mo Shanshi was pretty terrifying when he gave his all. Even Monster Emperor Baizhi was afraid to receive the attack.

She zoomed towards the side.

However, Mo Shanshi had evidently gone crazy. The blood vessels in his eyes could be seen and he could no longer control himself.

One, two, three blows!

Each blow was done with full strength. Like a mad dog, he no longer cared if Monster Emperor Baizhi, the Nine-Tailed White Fox, was the most powerful in the Holy Region.

This scene shocked the disciples who just regained their senses.

“Eh? What is wrong with Valley Master Mo?!”

“Crazy?”

“That slap… Anyone would go crazy with that!”

“What slap?”

“That extremely loud slap that Monster Emperor Baizhi gave Valley Master Mo…”

Amongst the disciples who were watching from beneath, some of them witnessed the slapping scene while some did not. Nevertheless, everyone knew about it now.

“Old man Mo, calm down!” Mu Qingfeng finally arrived. He felt helpless after sensing the burning anger on Mo Shanshi.

However, though he felt helpless, he had to admit that Mo Shanshi would not have displayed such prowess if not for Fang Zhengzhi’s words.

But could Mo Shanshi calm down in this state?

Of course not.

“Baizhi, I shall fight till the end with you!” The infuriated Mo Shanshi completely did not hear Mu Qingfeng’s voice. He only had one motive in his heart: Humiliation.

Boom!

After continuously retreating due to Mo Shanshi, Monster Emperor Baizhi could no longer retreat any further. She kicked Mo Shanshi’s black giant hammer, causing a loud sound to resonate through the air.

Mo Shanshi was flung at least ten steps away by the kick. His chest popped and he spat a mouth of blood.

However, when Mo Shanshi had completely lost his sanity, he displayed the highest level of “bravery”, despite spitting out blood, he rushed forward again.

“Ah!!! Baizhi, I’ll kill you!”

“…” Monster Emperor Baizhi’s expression finally changed. Although she was more powerful than Mo Shanshi, Mo Shanshi was still a threat to her.

After all, having reached a certain level of power, the difference in capabilities could not be too extreme. Not to mention that Monster Emperor Baizhi was fighting against a “mad dog” that was going all out.

“This brat did it on purpose!” Monster Emperor Baizhi knew all this was caused by Fang Zhengzhi’s words. If not for that sentence, Mo Shanshi would not have called her an old wretch, and she would not have slapped him out of impulse.

But it was meaningless to think about these now.

Having reached this stage, the only way out was to go all out with Mo Shanshi. She definitely would not hold back if Mo Shanshi was to fight.

“Mo Shanshi, since you are seeking death, then I shall grant your wish!” Monster Emperor Baizhi’s charm completely disappeared and she gave off a chilling murderous look.

“Die!” Mo Shanshi continued dashing forward.

Mu Qingfeng’s expression changed. A great war against the monster race had taken place more than ten years ago. That war between the monster race and the demon race saw huge (?) casualties for the two races and humans.

But even in that situation…

The real dominating powerful individuals remained calm and rational until the end.

Nobody really fought till their deaths.

That was because it was simply meaningless. After all, it was nothing good for any of the powerful individuals if both sides suffered major injuries or perished.

As a result, humankind and the two races decided to reach a ceasefire. In the end, a rule was set: the demon race was to retreat to the Blood Shadow City, the monster race was to hide in the Great Swamp. Besides that, regardless of what happened, the sages were not to interfere in the business of the Four Great Empires.

Even if the dynasty was destroyed!

This was the law of survival for the dominating powerful individuals!

Yet now, how could Mu Qingfeng do nothing and watch Mo Shanshi seek for his death when he decided to go all out against Monster Emperor Baizhi?

“If I die, so be it!” Mu Qingfeng clenched his teeth and stomped his feet. Without further hesitation, he leaped towards Monster Emperor Baizhi, “Baizhi, we will fight till we die!”

…

Roar! A beastly roar was heard.

At this juncture, the Monster Kings watching from beneath were also infuriated. No longer treating it as a “small fight”, each of the Monster Kings had their eyes filled with blood.

Fight!

Over thirty Monster Kings showed their true appearance at this moment. The sky was filled with many monster figures that were glimmering.

The Monster Kings exuded a strong and powerful aura. Each of their figures and their appearance was terrifying to the core.

Having witnessed this, the elders of the Holy Region could no longer do just sit and watch.

“Attack!” The elders, be it those from the Holy Region or sages, began to move.

Nobody would watch as a bystander in the great war between humankind and the monsters.

That was because if humankind lost the battle, all the most powerful fighters of humankind would have to hide in the Great Swamp.

Countless figures flew towards the sky.

Every single sage whipped out their weapons. Fighting against over thirty Monster Kings, they could only fight with all their might.

The great war between humankind and the monsters finally began.

However, Fang Zhengzhi, the trigger of this battle, had escaped the battleground before the Monster Kings roared.

After all, the weapons were blind. No one could ensure that he would not be “unintentionally injured” by someone else.

Yet, he did not flee to a place too far away this time.

If there is righteousness in one’s heart, the evil would not be able to invade. Fang Zhengzhi was able to distinguish between what was right or wrong. There was an ancient saying that goes: when the nest is overturned, no egg stays unbroken.

As a human with the authentic blood running in his body, he could not possible sit and do nothing about the Great War between humankind and the monsters.

Therefore…

He decided to watch the fight!

The real warrior must be able to face a simple life and dare to look at fresh blood. Fang Zhengzhi was a real warrior, hence, he definitely had to look at fresh blood.

And the best perspective to see fresh blood clearly was none other than from above. This was precisely what Chi Guyan said before, it is lonely at the top.

Somewhat dangerous.

But as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Besides that, with Fang Zhengzhi’s capabilities, as long as he does not battle with Monster Emperor Baizhi directly, he would not have problems staying alive.

Therefore, Fang Zhengzhi eventually decided to choose a spot behind Monster Emperor Baizhi. The reason was simple, if he could not battle with her directly, then he must do it from behind.

There was nothing wrong with the reasoning.

Yet, to accomplish this was still rather difficult. Nevertheless, this difficulty could not stop Fang Zhengzhi from advancing.

Tree of God!

It was the best “camouflage”!

Making use of the gigantic trunk and branches of the Tree of God, it was possible for him to find his way to the back of Monster Emperor Baizhi in the messy battlefield.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Carrying the unconscious Yan Xiu on one hand, Fang Zhengzhi used his other hand to grab onto tree branches randomly. As nimble as before, he made use of the Heaven Dao and rushed towards the top of the Tree of God.

As he kept climbing, loud noises echoed in the sky. For a battle of over thirty Monster Kings and hundreds of fighters, the scale of the battle was spectacular.

Fresh blood and broken limbs flew in the air.

Mixed sounds of anger, mourning, and roars painted a ghastly image to the dark sky.

Qian Yu and Dao Hun stopped their battle too.

Judging from the torn long black robe of Dao Hun, one could tell that he had lost the battle.

This caused his gaze to be even more creepy.

However, neither Dao Hun nor Qian Yu had the intention to continue fighting each other.

“This concerns the survival of humankind. We will settle our business another day!” Dao Hun said coldly as he flung his blood-stained sleeves.

“Anytime.” Qian Yu nodded. His face turned ugly when he looked up in the sky and saw the three figures fighting at the top of the Tree of God.

“Rest assured, I am not bad enough to spring a surprise attack at this point in time. You do not need to worry about Ping Yang’s life!” Dao Hun knew Qian Yu was worried about Ping Yang.

“I know,” without saying much, Qian Yu disappeared from his position and in the next second, reappeared in midair.

A slap!

It landed on the top of a head.

Boom! The Monster King that got slapped by Qian Yu widened his eyes as his body got pushed downwards. Letting out a gasp of shock, he spat out a mouth of blood.

Meanwhile, Dao Hun arrived.

Like the speed of lightning, he waved both black and white swords in his hands. Two beams of sword rays shot through the sky. Like the fusion of Yin and Yang, the black and white rays fused together to form a rainbow.

Crack! The Monster King that got pushed down did not resist. His body was instantly split into two and a golden Monster Pearl was left behind floating.

“Wa… roar!” Another Monster King witnessed the scene and leaped like a shocked wild goose, extending his claw to catch the monster pearl.

However, Qian Yu was significantly faster. At the instant the golden monster pearl floated in the sky, a silvery white ray flashed across his hand and struck the golden monster. pearl

Boom! The monster pearl exploded.
