Gate of God

Closer, closer.....

As the blood red spears were about to reach King Xieluo’s body, all of the Mountain Breaking Army and the Yan Cloud Cavalry could not help but revealed nervous expressions.

"Slash!"

The two spears penetrated into each half, and rays of crystal light shimmered around the spears, diffusing swiftly.

King Xieluo suddenly stopped struggling, he laid completely still and silent, as the stormy rain continued to pour on his body, scattering among the light.

"Dead?"

"Is he really dead?"

"I think he’s dead."

Everyone focused on the blood stained body halves, unsure of what is going to happen next.

"POOM!" At this moment, a trail of blood showered from the sky.

Then, a silhouette whizzed down from above, his black outfit totally drenched from the rain shower, and his face looking all pale and pallid but his hand still holding onto the sword very tightly.

"Fang Zhengzhi!" Yan Qianli recognised the shadow almost immediately, and he dashed forward to catch the body that landed on his arms.

Even so, he did not take his eyes away from King Xieluo, with his bloodshed eyes continuously fixating on King Xieluo, not letting him out of his sight.

Till...

The two halves of King Xieluo’s body were completely surrounded by the bright red crimosn light.

"It’s completely covered!"

"He’s really dead this time round!"

The atmosphere was instantly filled with joyous celebration.

"We won!"

"Demon King is finally dead!"

"King Yan, King Yan...."

"Fang Zhengzhi, Fang Zhengzhi......"

Everyone from the Mountain Break Army and the Yan Cloud Cavalry also joined in the celebration, despite knowing that the Northern Barbarians Army were still within the premises, but once King Xieluo was dead, it meant the battle had its winner.

Of course, this win was not easy, but was still a triumphal success.

Celebratory joys echoed throughout the night sky.

It was at this moment that Yan Qianli slowly relaxed his gaze, with the blood red colours in his eyes gradually fading away. Indeed, he was brimming with confidence.

Once King Xieluo’s body was completely immersed in the blood light.

Despite being a Demon King.

It was impossible that he could still survive this.

At this point, he decided not to continue focusing on King Xieluo, and turned his attention to Fang Zhengzhi. He could feel Fang Zhengzhi’s numb limbs, void of energy, and he swifty whipped out a small bottle.

"Swallow this!" Yan Qianli mumbled as he gingerly opened the small bottle. He poured out two red elixirs and popped them into Fang Zhengzhi’s mouth.

However.....

Just as he popped the elixir into Fang Zhengzhi’s mouth, a gush of force assaulted him from behind, causing him to fly forward helplessly.

"CRASSSSH!" A loud sound rumbled.

Yan Qianli knocked against Fang Zhenzhi. Countless raging power started influxing profusely into his body.

"How is that possible?!" Yan Qianli spun around frantically, and there stood a figure, to which he stared at in disbelief.

Because, the person standing behind him was King Xieluo.

Only this time round, it was no longer the gigantic version of King Xieluo, but a human-sized one, covered in white under the relentless rain.

The golden horns on his head were even more eye-catching than ever, as they twinkled brightly.

"HE’S NOT DEAD?!"

"King Xieluo is still alive?"

"How is this even possible, his body was splitted into half..... Hold on, his body is still floating in the sky?!"

The entire Mountain Break Army and Yan Cloud Cavalry saw the scene unfolding in front of their eyes. However, what led to their astonishment was that King Xieluo’s body was still floating above in midair.

Surrounded in bright red light.

Why would this happen?

How could there be two King Xieluos?

Everyone was bewildered.

So was Yan Qianli.

Indeed, the Demon King was tough, but that merely referred to his swift healing ability. How is it possible that he had two clones?

Fang Zhengzhi was unable to comprehend the situation, and even more so now, especially after receiving a strong blow from Yan Qianli.

How strong could a sage’s body be?

Nobody could explain this.

Just like what Yan Qianli had mentioned earlier, King Xieluo was well built and had strong muscular bones, obviously resulting in Fang Zhengzhi being on the losing end. When he was being knocked down by Yan Qianli, he felt as if his bones were falling apart.

"Poooo!" He coughed out the two elixirs that he was unable to swallow in time, creating a little blood mist in the air.

The next moment.....

Fang Zhengzhi witnessed King Xieluo moving behind Yan Qianli, only this time, he did not charge towards them, but dashed up, into the horizon.

In just a moment, he vanished.

"Oh no, King Xieluo is escaping!"

"Escape?! No, he’s not going to runaway......he......he looks like..."

"This..... How is this possible?!"

"Could it be, that he is also going to borrow power from the nature?!"

The Mountain Break Army and the Yan Cloud Cavalry watched anxiously as King Xieluo flew up among the clouds, because from previous attacks, he usually capitalised on his advantage and struck while the iron was hot.

However, he didn’t do it now. Rather, he looked as if he was escaping and rushed up to the sky.

What a strange behaviour from King Xie Luo. HIs actions left a dread in everyone’s minds.

"Peng!" The bodies of Yan Qianli and Fang Zhengzhi came landing on the ground.

And at this crucial timing, Yan Qianli tried thrusting Fang Zhengzhi into an upright position, using his body as a padding for Fang Zhengzhi, even after suffering an attack from King Xieluo.

"WAAAAAA..." Yan Qianli threw up a puddle of blood. He glared intently at the sky, clenching his teeth. "I’m going up first this time round, you’ll defend after!"

As soon as he finished talking, he charged up immediately.

He shot up like a glazing light, with the chilling atmosphere surrounding him. His face was as calm and firm as ever, and seemed as though he had suffered no injuries.

"The elixir!" Fang Zhengzhi uttered as a wry smile appeared at the corner of his face.

A small pill bottle dropped promptly from above and landed beside him.

Fang Zhengzhi swiftly picked up the small bottle, and quickly gulped down the 10 balls of elixir.

It had a bitter sweet taste, as he slowly munched on them, realising that it tasted satisfactory. While certainly not the usual watermelon flavour, or lemon or banana, it definitely felt refreshing for the after taste.

If he were to describe it, it would taste just like any other mint sweet, allowing one to feel fresh and comfortable after eating it.

Of course.....

It is just a description.

As he’s not feeling that comfortable after all.

The Demon King.

He was definitely more powerful than what he had initially thought. Despite going against all odds to request for a power that was three times more than his usual, and even borrowing force from the nature, he still failed to end this tragedy.

That was too mighty.

However, Fang Zhengzhi did not regret upon his decisions. Regarding this battle, he did not expect to win, he was just trying his best to fight, giving his all...

That was enough.

After swallowing ten elixirs down his stomach, Fang Zhengzhi could feel a stream of newfound strength gushing into his body, and he lifted his eyes and gazed at the horizon once again.

His crystal clear eyes stared right through the stormy rain, and the lightnings.

"Chi Guyan, your man... is going to miss this chance!" Fang Zhengzhi tightened his grip on the sword and hurried up, leaving a purple trial light behind him.

...

Standing on the wall, Yan Xiu clenched his fist very tightly.

As the wind blew strongly against his traditional chinese clothing, Shan Yu stood beside him biting on her lips nervously, leaving a small trail of blood at the edge of it.

"I’m going now, are you to stop me?" asked Shan Yu.

"Let the old lord protect you!" Yan Xiu chose not to reply her.

"I understand." Shan Yu nodded her head. She made a quick leap, just like a black leopard jumping over the tall walls.

Yan Xiu gazed at Shan Yu as she leaped over the walls.

He didn’t stop her.

He made the same jump, following closely behind her.

"Young Master!"

"Prince of the Southern Region!"

After seeing Yan Xiu and Shan Yu leaping over the walls, the Yan Cloud Cavalry and the Mountain Break Army started yelling at them, but they continued moving without paying much attention.

The two shadows dashed into the storm, moving as fast as a lightning into the battle.

As everything was happening, no one realised that there was another silhouette running in, making a mark amongst everything, the black dress dancing in the rain.

...

"Rumble!"

A bright lightning flashed across the whole horizon at almost the same moment. It was not of the regular lightning colour, but a brilliant golden shimmering colour.

Yan Qianli’s eyes widened even bigger this time round.

He was intending to dodge, but the golden lightning came too sudden and it was too close that he had no space to escape at all.

"BOOM!" The lightning bolt struck directly on Yan Qianli’s palm and the strangest sight happened, his hand looked like it had been engulfed.

It had completely disappeared.

"AH, crap..." Yan Qianli’s expression changed, mouthing out a miserable cry. He managed to thrust his body forward to escape.

However, at this moment, a shadow came towering down from the above, body wrapped in golden light. Within a second, it appeared at Yan Qianli’s side.

"King Yan, beware!"

"King Xieluo!"

"What’s that on his forehead....?!"

Everyone was fixating on the person standing beside Yan Qianli, with their eyes wide open with bewilderment. King Xieluo’s forehead seemed to have been splitted open into a shape of an eye.

Just that...

It was not a normal eye.

It was a pearl, a golden pearl, crystal and transparent in nature. In there, there was also a lightning bolt moving inside, looking really dubious and scary.

"Demon Pearl!"

"Is it possible that it is King Xieluo’s Demon Pearl?

"That’s absurd, if the pearl is really on King Xieluo’s forehead, then isn’t King Yan first attack supposed to be on the forehead instead?"

Everyone was staring at the golden crystal ball, feeling rather puzzled.

"Hahaha......If I were to reveal it to all of you, that the body that you spent so much effort and energy in killing was just a powerful and fierce beast that was owned by me, will you all believe me a little?" King Xieluo’s voice bellowed in the starry night.

"A beast?!" Yan Qianli’s hand was still pressing onto his other broken palm, with his expressions hurt and painful. That body, a beast?!

In that moment, everything seemed to piece together in his head, and his expression immediately changed as those ideas flashed past.

Not only Yan Qianli’s expression changed.

All the men in the Mountain Break Army and the Yan Cloud Cavalry stared wide with intent.

"This is not possible!"

"If it was just a beast, how could it have such great power?"

"No way, this type of rapid recovery skill is totally something that a beast can never handle, unless it’s the demon king..."

"Unless, King Xieluo has been helping the beast to recover when he’s being attacked. There was always a golden light shining at its wound - the light must be from King Xieluo’s power!"

By now, the Mountain Break Army and the Yan Cloud Cavalry had already figured out the situation, but none of them chose to accept the truth.

After all these struggles, it was just a beast getting killed?!

Who could believe this, and who was willing to believe it?

"Looks like nobody wants to believe me!" King Xieluo grinned sheepishly, and he slowly drifted his gaze down to Fang Zhengzhi, who had stopped in mid air. "You little brat, I must say that move was really astounding, hmmm... You have earned your way to see my true self!"

"True self?"

"That was not true?"

"Impossible!"

An incredibly loud sound began ringing as a ray of golden light shone brightly in the sky, illuminating the dark horizon.

And at the same time...

A figure began emerging out from the golden light.

No massive structure, no sharp teeth and no bloody jaws, it was just an average looking body.

However, this figure created more pressure for everyone, as it looked more menacing in nature than the gigantic body.

With a slender looking body and perfect masculine figure, its scales were completely immersed in golden light, from head to tail.

There were four claws in total, with five toes each.

At the tip of its fingers, the fingernails were of crystal blue colour, resembling the pureness of the pastel blue sky.

At the top of its head, its pair of golden horns shone brightly in the light. Its long white hair remained rested on its back, and with its tail end coloured in red, it resembled raging bright red fire.

The golden shimmering eyes, looked as majestic and arrogant as ever.

What was even more stunning was the gold crystal pearl in the middle of its two horns. It was transparent and crystal clear, just like the eyes.

Strikes of lightning flashed within the golden pearl.
