Chapter 869: Are You A Man?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to scold Monster Emperor Baizhi. However, it was more critical for him to escape now, though escaping requires skills.

After all, Monster Emperor Baizhi had only released her bite. Their bodies were still in contact.

If Fang Zhengzhi had chosen to run forward, he would be blocked by Nangong Hao.

Even if he could roll, he would not do so. Once he did that, his back would be exposed to Monster Emperor Baizhi.

She could simply use her claws…

And get him controlled once again.

Therefore, although Fang Zhengzhi was desperate to run away, he knew that he had to ensure Monster Emperor Baizhi was unable to attack him again.

What should he do?

Countless of escape methods flashed through his mind such as slapping Monster Emperor Baizhi or blowing lime powder into Monster Emperor Baizhi’s eyes.

Yet he quickly negated these methods. He was going against Monster Emperor Baizhi, an “evil monster” that made his plans fail twice.

No!

He definitely could not use ordinary escape methods!

He had to still depend on Nangong Hao. After all, in Monster Emperor Baizhi’s eyes, Nangong Hao was the only person that would be of a greater significance than himself.

However, what should he do so that Nangong Hao could help him escape? Or should he let Nangong Hao appear in between himself and Monster Emperor Baizhi?

That’s right, shifting forms (a Heaven Dao technique)!

Fang Zhengzhi could only think of this idea. Even though it may not be the best idea, he had no time.

He had made his decision and would not hesitate any further. At this time, an azure blue light covered his body.

“Hmm? Trying to escape!” With her great sense of premonition, Monster Emperor Baizhi reacted right away, grabbing the azure blue light with her hand.

It was extraordinarily fast.

Clang!

A sharp sound like the intense rubbing caused by the clanging of metals was heard. It felt as though there was an intense fight between Monster Emperor Baizhi’s hand and the azure blue ray.

“Screw this… How does she react so quickly?!” Fang Zhengzhi paused and frowned. Although he had predicted that the success rate was not very high if he used this method, he did not think that it would be so easily blocked by Monster Emperor Baizhi.

Suddenly, anger overwhelmed him.

Having been “suppressed” repeatedly by Monster Emperor Baizhi, Fang Zhengzhi felt humiliated.

After all, he regarded himself as one of the more powerful fighters.

He was extremely pissed off. He vaguely recalled how Mo Shanshi was able to make Monster Emperor Baizhi retreat after he went mad. Maybe he could do the same?

He wanted to forcibly pull himself out of the Heaven Dao!

That was provided if he had the capability to do so.

It had not occurred to Fang Zhengzhi how Monster Emperor Baizhi had not turned into a monster when she was battling with Mo Shanshi. Monster Emperor Baizhi was only the most powerful in the Holy Region after she had turned into a monster.

Of course, that was no longer important.

Fang Zhengzhi had no other way out. If he chose to fight with his life, he might come out alive. If he did not, he would definitely die.

Without thinking further, he clenched his teeth and dived into the azure blue light with all his strength.

Screech! The piercing sound and the flickering blue light made Monster Emperor Baizhi’s hands shake.

“This brat is trying to compete with me in terms of strength?” Monster Emperor Baizhi was really shocked. She had always thought that the monster race was much more powerful than humankind in terms of body strength.

How would humankind dare to fight with them?

That was her thoughts. As the Monster Emperor, she was extremely certain about it.

Although her title as the beast of the Monster race, the Nine-Tailed White Fox was not earned because of her strength, she would definitely be infuriated if Fang Zhengzhi had won her in terms of strength.

Therefore, when she saw that Fang Zhengzhi was about to escape, her tail moved and whipped down from the sky onto Fang Zhengzhi.

Boom! The terrifyingly powerful force from his back caused Fang Zhengzhi’s body to jerk. The force was so powerful that he almost spat out blood.

Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi could feel that the azure blue light covering his body was about to be smashed by the tail.

It was really powerful!

This was the first time he felt being completely suppressed by a powerful force since he left the Middle Stream Cauldron in the Nine Pinnacles Mountain. Monster Emperor Baizhi’s powers had clearly surpassed his expectations.

Be it the control of the powers of the sky and the earth, or the strength and toughness of the body, Monster Emperor Baizhi was almost at the peak in terms of ability and did not have any slightest flaw.

But what could Fang Zhengzhi do?

Sit and watch in despair?

Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi claimed that they would save him, yet in reality, Fang Zhengzhi knew that they were only trying to confuse Monster Emperor Baizhi. The real target for the two sly ones was no doubt on Nangong Hao.

“Do it!” As the saying goes, relying on oneself is better than relying on others. Fang Zhengzhi was not stupid enough to place his hopes in Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi’s hands.

Therefore, he could only do it himself!

Regardless of whether he could succeed, he had to give it a shot.

Boom! Fang Zhengzhi exuded a wild and furious aura. Black armor, burning flames, blood-red radiance… Regardless of whether they were useful, all of them flowed out of his body.

Following that, Fang Zhengzhi felt that his body was shifted forcefully towards the azure blue light by an inch. Although it was only an inch, it gave him great hope.

“Ah, old wretch, fight me directly if you dare!”

“Directly?” Monster Emperor Baizhi’s lips moved. She wanted to remind Fang Zhengzhi about how she had successfully attacked him directly earlier on.

However, before she could say that, she felt a powerful force radiating from Fang Zhengzhi’s body, so strong that he was about to escape from her palms.

“This brat… How could he have such potential?!” Monster Emperor Baizhi was shocked by how Fang Zhengzhi’s powers kept growing stronger as though there were no limits. It was an extremely strenuous task to continue controlling him.

Boom! At this moment, a bolt of purple lightning struck from the sky. Like a sharp sword, it struck in between her eyebrows.

Monster Emperor Baizhi knew it was done by Fang Zhengzhi. She also knew the difference between this particular lightning and an ordinary lightning.

It was a fused Dao?

Monster Emperor Baizhi subconsciously raised her other hand. A bolt of golden lightning quickly formed in her hand.

“Go!” Monster Emperor Baizhi shouted as the golden lightning shot out of her hand towards the purple lightning.

Yet at the instant when the lightning left her hand, she felt that somethiing dangerous was about to happen.

It was her strong premonition.

However, Monster Emperor Baizhi could not understand how Fang Zhengzhi could possibly be a source of threat, especially after she had turned into a monster.

As she was thinking about that, she realised the purple lightning bolt that was traveling towards her brows stopped all of a sudden. Following that, a strange scene happened.

The lightning disappeared.

Then, she felt a beam of light zoom past her eyes.

“Sword?!” Monster Emperor Baizhi finally saw the purple light clearly. It was not a lightning bolt,instead, it was a long sword that was wrapped by lightning bolt.

Traceless Sword!

Almost instantaneously, it travelled to her back. Before she could make any reaction, it struck her back.

Boom!

Monster Emperor Baizhi’s body shook. She felt an intense pain on her back and blood splattered through the air.

However, the blood was soon swallowed by the Traceless Sword. As that happened, the Traceless Sword let out a soft moan.

The scene happened quickly.

Too quickly.

Everything happened in a blink of an eye, from Fang Zhengzhi’s escape through Shifting Forms to exuding a powerful aura to the strike of the Traceless Sword on Monster Emperor Baizhi’s body.

After Monster Emperor Baizhi was struck by the sword, the Monster Kings and the disciples reacted in disbelief.

“He injured the Monster Emperor!”

“Impossible!”

Nobody could believe their eyes. They were certain that Monster Emperor Baizhi had never suffered any injuries before.

Roar!

Roar…

The Monster Kings roared furiously. After all, Monster Emperor Baizhi was viewed as a superior figure to them.

Now that she was injured, how could they be not mad?

However, this has yet to end. At the instant when the Traceless Sword struck Monster Emperor Baizhi, Fang Zhengzhi had dashed into the azure blue light.

Meanwhile, Nangong Hao’s body appeared in front of Monster Emperor Baizhi.

That’s right, shifting forms (a heaven dao technique)!

This change surprised Monster Emperor Baizhi. Although she knew that Fang Zhengzhi had escaped, she did not understand why he had swapped Nangong Hao back.

“Shifting Forms from the Heaven Dao?” Monster Emperor Baizhi finally realized. She did not know how to react as she stared at Nangong Hao who was standing in front of her.

What is meant by ‘we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it, there is always light at the end of the tunnel’?

The answer was in front of her.

The escape of Fang Zhengzhi returned her Nangong Hao. If she had known the ending, she would have gladly let Fang Zhengzhi go.

“Run, even if you managed to run away today, I would be able to capture you sooner or later.”Monster Emperor Baizhi was not anxious. After all, as compared to killing Fang Zhengzhi, controlling Nangong Hao was more important.

Stretching out her hands, Monster Emperor Baizhi forgot about Fang Zhengzhi and grabbed Nangong Hao’s shoulders. She knew that Fang Zhengzhi would not return after he had escaped.

However…

Fang Zhengzhi returned.

Furthermore, he returned very quickly. At the instant when Nangong Hao appeared in front of Monster Emperor Baizhi, Fang Zhengzhi appeared behind her.

Meanwhile, he slapped Monster Emperor Baizhi on her head.

Boom!

The power of a kick in midair could not be estimated by onlookers. Only Monster Emperor Baizhi who felt it personally would know.

Everything went smoothly.

Monster Emperor Baizhi rolled towards the side and spun a few rounds in the air continuously.

“Trying to get away after biting me? Dream on!” Fang Zhengzhi shouted as he grimaced wildly.

The Monster Kings, sages and the disciples were completely stunned.

None of them had expected Fang Zhengzhi to return after his escape from Monster Emperor Baizhi’s control.

Yet, he came back.

Not only did he return, he successfully sent Monster Emperor Baizhi flying with a kick.

How ridiculous?

How impossible?

“Fang Zhengzhi… is he crazy?”

“He must be crazy. But he really sent Monster Emperor Baizhi flying with a kick!”

“What is going on in his mind?”

Nobody could understand what was going on in Fang Zhengzhi’s mind. He clearly wanted to escape, so why did he come back?

Of course, Fang Zhengzhi did not bother answering these questions.

As a man, he ought to flee when he had insufficient powers. That was not embarrassing at all. However, that does not mean that he would still remain afraid to attack when he had the chance to. If he was that kind of person, how could he be called a Man!

If you can’t win, run. If you can win, you should never run!

As simple as that, that was Fang Zhengzhi’s values. If the opponent could not understand, then he would fight until the opponent did.

It was insane but it represented his character. He would never allow himself to be at a disadvantage.

Of course, after the kick, Fang Zhengzhi fled again without any hesitation.

Before he ran, he did not forget to give Monster Emperor Baizhi a middle finger.

“…”

“…”

As they watched Fang Zhengzhi leave, every single one of the audiences froze.
