Chapter 866: The Brat Became Hero

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

With the collaboration of Qian Yu and Dao Hun, the most powerful fighters in the two Holy Regions, it was not difficult to kill one Monster King.

Nevertheless, the monster race would not allow Qian Yu and Dao Hun to continue killing the rest.

After witnessing the death of a Monster King, the rest of the Monster Kings became cautious. After exchanging a few glances, they took their position quickly. Like the stars in the sky, each of them was less than five steps away from each other.

This resulted in the formation of a gigantic net in the sky by the thirty over Monster Kings, blocking the sages from reaching the sky.

However, there was an exception.

It was none other than Fang Zhengzhi.

Making use of the gigantic trunk and branches of the Tree of God, Fang Zhengzhi did not face many obstacles. He was close to the top of the Tree of God in a blink of an eye.

Circular ripples traveled down from the top of the Tree of God. The strong wind blew on Fang Zhengzhi’s blue robe.

These were the ripples created during the fight between Mo Shanshi, Mu Qingfeng, and Monster Emperor Baizhi. They were extremely wild and cold, and could easily disintegrate any ordinary disciple.

However, that was not a cause for concern for Fang Zhengzhi. Without much hesitation, he sped up and continued approaching the top of the Tree of God.

He was getting closer and closer!

As he approached, Fang Zhengzhi could feel the strong killer aura on Mo Shanshi and Monster Emperor Baizhi.

“Very intense.” Fang Zhengzhi was somewhat satisfied with the effect. Since they had started fighting, they should not hold back.

Indeed, the outcome was as he predicted.

The infuriated Mo Shanshi used two hundred percent of his combat power. Not only did he completely ignore his injuries, but he also continuously attacked Monster Emperor Baizhi with all his might.

Although Monster Emperor Baizhi had not suffered any injuries, she was constrained by Mo Shanshi and could not escape.

This was exactly what Fang Zhengzhi hoped to see.

“Should I spring a sneak attack on Monster Emperor Baizhi?” A thought flashed through Fang Zhengzhi’s mind. However, he quickly negated it.

The reason was not because of the lack of chance to spring an attack, but rather because of the difference between a Monster and a human.

Fang Zhengzhi was very certain that it was not an easy task to kill a monster. A sneak attack was meaningless if he was unable to break the monster pearl.

Furthermore, more importantly, he might divert the attention of Monster Emperor Baizhi onto himself if he had sprung a sneak attack.

Should he continue spectate?

The plan was faultless. However, Monster Emperor Baizhi seemed to be someone who was very concerned about time.

How could Fang Zhengzhi waste his time by spectating?

The critical focus should be…

On Nangong Hao!

Fang Zhengzhi quickly turned his attention from the top of the Tree of God to Nangong Hao. Nangong Hao looked dazed and seemed as though he was in agony.

Wait a minute.

Agony?

Fang Zhengzhi was a little surprised. If he had guessed correctly, Nangong Hao was under some special illusion spell of Monster Emperor Baizhi. By right, he should be totally controlled by her.

But in reality, judging from Nangong Hao’s expression, Fang Zhengzhi could feel a sense of agony. Nangong Hao looked as if he was struggling with all his might.

Should he sing a few more sentences of the mountain song to awaken Nangong Hao?

Or should he…

Kill Nangong Hao?

Fang Zhengzhi chose the latter. That was because the former choice had too many uncontrollable factors. Firstly, he was uncertain if the mountain song could wake up Nangong Hao. If it could not, he would divert Monster Emperor Baizhi’s attention on himself again. That would cause his previous efforts to go to waste.

Besides that, after waking up Nangong Hao, what would Nangong Hao do next? Open the Door of the Realm of God? That was not something Fang Zhengzhi wanted to see.

Therefore, the most straightforward choice was to kill him.

Killing him would end everything.

Although Fang Zhengzhi and Nangong Hao were not considered the greatest enemies based on personal grievances, the fact that Nangong Hao injured Chi Guyan and Ping Yang made it justifiable for Fang Zhengzhi to kill him.

Most importantly…

It was for the sake of the bigger picture.

As someone who does not hesitate, once Fang Zhengzhi had made a decision, he would do it as quickly as possible.

After gingerly placing Yan Xiu between a tree branch, he pressed his hand on the blade of the Traceless Sword.

It was a difficult task to spring a sneak attack on Monster Emperor Baizhi. Yet, it was much easier to spring a sneak attack on Nangong Hao.

Especially since Nangong Hao was not fully conscious.

“To do nothing means doing something!” This was Nangong Hao’s concept regarding Dao. The best thing about this concept was how no sound was made when the sword was drawn.

Nevertheless, despite that, Fang Zhengzhi decided to wait patiently for the best chance.

Meanwhile, Mo Shanshi had once again made his way to the front of Monster Emperor Baizhi. He flung his black giant hammer towards Monster Emperor Baizhi’s waist as it let out a thunderous boom.

“Do you want to die?” Monster Emperor Baizhi was evidently anxious. Facing the attack made by Mo Shanshi, she decided to retaliate instead of darting.

Her slim fingers slid past the air like lightning, landing on the black giant hammer. Meanwhile, she kicked her right leg towards Mo Shanshi’s neck.

Boom!

Mo Shanshi’s black giant hammer shook abruptly and almost fell from his hand.

This attack caused Mo Shanshi’s facial expression to change. Furthermore, he could feel the “violent wind” blowing towards her.

“Dream on!” Mu Qingfeng arrived before Mo Shanshi was about to get kicked, bright red light shot out from the long sword on his hand.

He struck with his sword!

The strike was extremely quick, as though the sky was about to be split open.

Boom! The thunder rumbled after Monster Emperor Baizhi kicked Mu Qingfeng’s long sword. Meanwhile, beams of rays spread along the long sword and wound around it.

The kick was not only as fast as the violent wind but also accompanied by loud thunder.

This was the real capability of Monster Emperor Baizhi!

However, Mu Qingfeng was almost equally as powerful. As the ray of light surged towards his long sword, instead of defending, he decided to attack.

He tossed the long sword from his right hand to his left.

During this process of exchanging hands, Mu Qingfeng’s left hand was coated with a layer of jade green radiance, as though his hand was wound by tree vines.

The tree vines grew wildly, morphing to the shape of a palm.

Holding the sword, he struck again!

This series of movements was done in a breath. Flowing like the clouds and water, there was not a single pause. It looked as though Mu Qingfeng had planned to use his left hand in the first place.

Crack! The sharp blade struck Monster Emperor Baizhi’s arm.

At the instant when the blade struck Monster Emperor Baizhi’s arm, strands of fox fur that were as white as snow grew on her arm. Each strand was as hard as steel.

When the blade landed on the fox fur, loud and sharp metal sounds were heard.

The strike did not cause any serious injuries to Monster Emperor Baizhi, but it was powerful enough to cause her to retreat for a distance of at least three steps.

“Here’s my chance!” Fang Zhengzhi had been waiting for this moment. It was sufficient for Monster Emperor Baizhi to retreat a few steps.

Things like greetings…

Were impossible to be done.

In fact, there was no need for it at all. To put it blatantly, Fang Zhengzhi only encountered her once and was not familiar with her at all.

“Nangong Hao, you shall die so that we can achieve world peace!” Fang Zhengzhi shouted and dashed forward with his sword raised.

With no sound and actions!

Without any light and any movements, yet with a speed enough to navigate past every obstacle to achieve success.

Fang Zhengzhi thought that it was impossible for his attack to fail.

Yet at that moment when he dashed out with full confidence, Monster Emperor Baizhi, who initially retreated, whipped her head around.

Shock, surprise!

This was the gaze that Monster Emperor Baizhi gave.

He also felt the same. He never thought he could be exposed even in this manner.

Was she a monster?!

Hmm… looks like she was indeed a monster!

But to this extent? With such a high level of alertness, how could anyone spring sneak attacks in the future? This is ridiculous!

Fang Zhengzhi was not sure if that was coincidence or fate.

He wanted to curse, but it was not possible for him to retreat since he had already struck his sword. After all, it was not an issue about reputation.

Luckily, Monster Emperor Baizhi was at least ten steps away from Nangong Hao after being forced to retreat by Mu Qingfeng’s attack.

Even if she noticed, she could not possibly block Fang Zhengzhi’s attack.

“Die!” Fang Zhengzhi targeted at Nangong Hao’s heart. He did not show mercy at all.

It was filled with strength!

“Fang Zhengzhi, how dare you!” Monster Emperor Baizhi’s expression finally changed as she saw the Traceless sword approach Nangong Hao’s heart. She could no longer keep her cool.

That was because she did not expect Fang Zhengzhi to sneak up the top of the Tree of God and spring a sneak attack at Nangong Hao.

Wasn’t this brat scared of death?

Even though they only met once, from what Monster Emperor Baizhi knew, Fang Zhengzhi was not a guy that cared about the big picture.

Fang Zhengzhi could, in fact, be described as sly and selfish.

She had made this judgment when she saw Fang Zhengzhi carry Chi Guyan and Ping Yang to hide in a corner.

Because of this judgment, she did not pay too much attention to Fang Zhengzhi when she discovered that he went missing.

After all, she thought Fang Zhengzhi had left to hide from danger.

“Well done, brat!” Mo Shanshi spotted Fang Zhengzhi. He was stunned for a moment before he displayed intense happiness in his eyes, as though he had struck the lottery.

Besides Mo Shanshi, Mu Qingfeng was also astonished. Despite that, his eyes lit up and said, “Fang Zhengzhi, kill Nangong Hao now!”

“Fang Zhengzhi, don’t kill Hao’er!” Nangong Tian pleaded. With his eyes red, he was about to cry.

Fang Zhengzhi ignored them completely.

He did not bother about the meaning behind Mo Shanshi’s words. Neither did he consider the consequences of killing Nangong Hao. He only followed his own decisions.

To put it frankly…

He was stubborn!

Slash! A sound like paper tearing could be heard. It was the sound that the Traceless sword made as it was stabbed into the body. There were both a sense of excitement and a hint of moaning.

Yet, blood did not splatter all over the place.

However, the Traceless sword had sunk deeply into Nangong Hao’s chest. Drops of fresh blood that flowed out were quickly swallowed by the Traceless sword.

“He was stabbed?!” Mu Qingfeng’s eyes lit up again.

“This brat… Although the way he behaved made people mad, he was a reliable person at critical timings like this!” The wild expression on Mo Shanshi’s face disappeared.

“Hao’er!” Nangong Tian roared. When he saw the Traceless Sword sink into Nangong Hao’s chest, he could not stop trembling and his face turned pale.

Despair.

The expression of ultimate despair.

Meanwhile, the disciples from the various sects and the sages who were fighting with the Monster Kings turned their heads towards the two figures standing on the top of the Tree of God.

Fang Zhengzhi and Nangong Hao.

“Did Nangong Hao really get stabbed? Judging from this, the grand plans of the Nangong Nobles, the monster race and the demon race have completely gone down the drain?”

“This brat… he really did it!”

“How on earth did he get up there?”

“Regardless of what method he used to get to the top of the Tree of God, he managed to stop this battle. He ought to be called the hero!”

“Yes… This brat turned into a hero.”

One could see mixed feelings in the disciples’ eyes. Some were excited and some were confused. However, more were exhilarated.

Despite Nangong Hao’s behavior in the past made them speechless, that was no longer important.

Because…

Fang Zhengzhi killed Nangong Hao!

This completely negated the past actions of Fang Zhengzhi, even for the incident when Fang Zhengzhi provoked Mo Shanshi and Monster Emperor Baizhi.
