Chapter 856: The Ups and Downs in Life Come Too Quickly

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Facing this, Bai Fei’s expressions hardly changed since the start. He did not even show any quick ducking movement

However, one could clearly see the paleness on Bai Fei’s face.

Ding! a crisp and loud sound was heard. It was an extremely sharp sound of friction that could even make one’s ears vibrate.

At this instance, Fang Zhengzhi reduced the movement of his sword.

It was impossible to push the sword in!

“So hard? Don’t tell me Bai Fei specially trains his chest to break stones?” Fang Zhengzhi was surprised, but almost immediately felt that something was wrong.

Although he knew all along that members of the Demon race had very strong bodies, this extent of strength was unbelievable.

Wait a minute!

Bai Fei has a protective treasure!

Fang Zhengzhi also had a Heart Protection Mirror. That was the reason why he could react instantaneously without much problem.

Fang Zhengzhi gave a smile that any ordinary person would understand as a thought flashed through his mind.

A treasure that could block the Traceless Sword?

It was obvious that that was an extraordinary treasure!

Snatch it!

Fang Zhengzhi’s decision was not without reasons. It was based on Bai Fei’s reflexes in response to the strike of the sword.

Put it more straightforwardly, Bai Fei looked too weak to him.

As to the reason behind why Bai Fei was so weak, Fang Zhengzhi did not ponder over it.

After all, there was no use to ponder over such things. A weak opponent meant that he could kill him like killing an ant in his palm.

Without hesitation, Fang Zhengzhi fiercely flung himself towards Bai Fei.

In a blink of an eye, the distance between the two became extremely close, such that Fang Zhengzhi could clearly see the sudden enlarging of Bai Fei’s eyes.

Then...

With his left hand, Fang Zhengzhi held Bai Fei above his chest.

He forcefully ripped Bai Fei’s clothes while demanding, “If you have an artifact, you should share it!”

“Share?” Bai Fei obviously could not react in time, but very quickly, his face paled significantly.

This was because Bai Fei could clearly feel his clothes being ripped apart.

Rip! A slit was made on Bai Fei’s white long-sleeved shirt. From the slit, one could see a treasure glistening with golden sparkle.

“As expected, you are wearing a Heart Protection Mirror!” Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up. He was just about to grab the Heart Protection Mirror from Bai Fei when he realized something was amiss.

The bottom of the Heart Protection Mirror was bright red.

It was definitely not blood stains, but an article of clothing that Bai Fei wore inside his white shirt. However, Fang Zhengzhi felt that the shape of the clothing was unacceptable.

“Bellyband? A red bellyband?!” Even though only a little part of the bellyband could be seen, Fang Zhengzhi could identify that it was a special product almost immediately.

Wait a minute!

Why was Bai Fei wearing a bellyband?

Subconsciously, Fang Zhengzhi wanted to stretch his hand out to touch it, just to make sure that he was not mistaken.

“Shameless!” Bai Fei finally reacted and shouted loudly, his face lit up like a red sunset glow.

“A man wearing a bellyband and yet calling me shameless?” Fang Zhengzhi was just about to scold him further, when a strong chill suddenly crept up the back of his neck.

He had a bad premonition.

An extremely strong one.

Sneak attack?

Fang Zhengzhi’s sensitivity towards sneak attacks was no less than a beggar who saw a warm bun after having starved for seven days.

Therefore, he immediately kicked towards the back, while slapping his hand on Bai Fei’s chest.

This was both a subconscious and a desperate movement, as Fang Zhengzhi did not have time to turn back to identify the sneak attacker.

Boom!

Bai Fei did not dart at all, his body was sent flying by Fang Zhengzhi’s slap. Like a ray of light, it drew a beautiful arc in the sky.

Then, he landed heavily with a scream and coughed out blood.

Meanwhile, at the position Fang Zhengzhi was standing at previously, two thin daggers sliced past with a intense chill, screeching as they tore through the air

This scene happened so quickly that the disciples from the various sects nearby could not even react.

Time seemed to have stopped. At this moment, both the disciples from the various sects and the demon race fighting in the sky stopped moving.

“Was he stabbed?!”

“No, it seemed like a slap instead. Fang Zhengzhi really attacked the demon race?!”

“Hold on, why was Bai Fei stabbed by the dagger that brushed past the two members of the demon race? Also, when Bai Fei was hit by the slap, he did not dart at all. Don’t tell me that Bai Fei is not Tian Xing’s final disciple? Is Fang Zhengzhi too strong, or Bai Fei too weak?”

It was a shocking scene.

Nobody really thought Fang Zhengzhi would be able to stab Bai Fei, but no matter what, he attempted to stab Bai Fei right at his chest. Besides that, he even added a slap. This shows that Fang Zhengzhi had no relations with the demon race.

“Don’t tell me that Fang Zhengzhi really has no relations with the demon race? If so, how did he escape from the Nine Pinnacles Mountain?” Even Dao Hun was surprised.

Of course, the most surprised person is none other than Fang Zhengzhi.

Thanks to the slap earlier on, Fang Zhengzhi had avoided the two dagger strikes behind him. Meanwhile, he finally saw the figure who was standing at his original spot.

It turned out to be the demon who had been stabbed by Fang Zhengzhi earlier on!

‘He didn’t die?!”

How could he not die? Was he a monster?

Wait a minute!

He did seem like a monster!

Fang Zhengzhi suddenly realized the difference between demons and humans. The fatal spot for humans was the heart, but for demons, the fatal spot was the Demon Pearl.

To put it simply...

Even if you cut a demon up to seven or eight parts, if the Demon Pearl was unharmed, the demon’s body could be healed.

“I think I’ve got into some trouble...” Fang Zhengzhi glanced at his spot, then looked at the figures surrounding him who had their eyes wide open. A drop of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

Too rash.

He only thought of killing the enemy in one shot, but he had neglected the important question of how he should escape if he did not succeed.

“Young lord!”

“Young empress, are you alright?”

Echoes of concerned voices could be heard. To Fang Zhengzhi, however, the people around him were more concerned with Bai Fei’s injury than himself.

“Young lord? Young empress?” Fang Zhengzhi was dumbfounded. Why did the people address Bai Fei differently? Unless these people were divided into two factions?

Wait a minute!

Young lord?!

Fang Zhengzhi quickly turned towards Bai Fei, who was on the floor not too far away, clutching his chest with his hand. Then, it struck him as he recalled the odd sense of touch when he slapped Bai Fei.

“Woman? A woman who was as weak as a chicken, but addressed by others as ‘Young lord’... Yun Qingwu!” If Fang Zhengzhi had not realized the situation then, he must had been really stupid.

However, that flash of thought made him confused once again. After all, everyone around him was of the monster race.

Monster?

Wasn’t Yun Qingwu a demon?

How did Yun Qingwu get involved with the monster race? Besides that, judging from how the monsters respected Yun Qingwu, addressing her as...

Young Empress?!

“Fang Zhengzhi, in the Southern region, I stabbed you once. Today, you returned the stab. We are equal now.” A faint voice could be heard, followed by the gentle removal of a mask made of human skin, revealing a extraordinary beautiful face.

Like a waterfall, her ink-black long hair gradually fell to her waist area.

Indeed, it was Yun Qingwu

Yun Qingwu’s face was evidently pale, but from her gaze, one could tell that she still remained extremely determined.

Fang Zhengzhi was stunned.

He had guessed Yun Qingwu’s identity correctly, but seeing her in real life was a totally different feeling. After all, her appearance was unexpected.

“But I did not manage to stab you earlier on?” Fang Zhengzhi muttered, despite not knowing the reason behind it.

“Yes, you were right. But, that’s none of my business.” Yun Qingwu said as she stood up, and a figure draped her clothes on her body.

“Alright, since we are even, then I’ll take my leave.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded. As a man, he had always been generous and would never bother about every detail with a woman. Therefore, he decided to live up to his style as a man and did not continue arguing with Yun Qingwu.

However, Fang Zhengzhi’s generosity clearly did not move the monsters who were staring furiously at him. In a blink of an eye, Fang Zhengzhi felt the whole sky turn dark.

That was because a few hundred monsters had surrounded him.

“Fang Zhengzhi, die!” Almost instantaneously, a few hundred weapons were drawn, and the sky seemed to brighten up.

It darkened, then it brightened up!

Fang Zhengzhi could not help but sighed. The ups and downs in life come too quickly.

Just a moment ago, he was a casual bystander who was watching others fight. But a moment later, he was surrounded.

Surrounded by a group of monsters.

A saying goes, “Just escaped the claws of the wolf, then immediately fell into the tiger’s den”. Most importantly, all these were self-inflicted by Fang Zhengzhi himself.

Woosh! Just when Fang Zhengzhi felt that his life was in total darkness, a ray of black light fell from the sky and landed beside him.

Pitch-black ray that kept winding around him.

The coldness felt like hell, causing one’s heart to tremble.

It was Yan Xiu!

“Yan Xiu, you believe me?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu who was beside him. In fact, at this point of time, he already felt that Yan Xiu was odd.

Not only because of the chilling aura that Yan Xiu exuded, but also because of the confused and suspecting gaze Yan Xiu gave as he looked at Fang Zhengzhi.

“I don’t know, but I think you will not lie to me.” Yan Xiu shook his head, then nodded it. There was no light in his pitch-black eyes.

“Of course I will not lie to you! We are friends, best friends!” At this point, Fang Zhengzhi’s tears welled up in his eyes.

He was not exactly sure about what happened to Yan Xiu.

But he could roughly guess that Yan Xiu had lost part of his memory. At the very least, Yan Xiu could not recognise him at that moment.

Despite that, he backfaced Yan Xiu without any hesitation, because he believed that Yan Xiu would not stab him from his back.

“Friend?” Yan Xiu showed confusion once again, staring straight at Fang Zhengzhi. Then, he subconsciously smiled. That smile was a genuine smile from his heart. “Yes, let’s be friends!”

“Friend!”

“Yes, friend...”

Both Yan Xiu and Fang Zhengzhi’s voices were not loud, but it was loud enough to be heard by the disciples from the various sects and those from the Five Sects of the Holy Region.

“They want to be friends?”

“At this point in time, they are making friends while smiling?”

The disciples from the various sects could not believe their eyes.

Meanwhile, in the Yin Yang Hall corner, Dao Xin stood up abruptly, staring at the two of them, extremely astonished.

“Xiu smiled? In the few months at Yin Yang Hall, I have never seen him smile. But after meeting Fang Zhengzhi, he smiled... just like that?” Dao Xin subconsciously clenched his fist tight, his whole body shook uncontrollably.

Fang Zhengzhi disregarded all of that. After reaching the friendship agreement with Yan Xiu, he smiled too.

“As a friend, shouldn’t you treat me to a meal?”

“Sure, I have a lot of silver, I...” Yan Xiu nodded without hesitation, but before he could complete his sentence, he stopped abruptly. His body trembled violently and the black rays radiated non-stop. He looked as though he was in great pain.

Yet, the strangest thing was how the shadow beneath his feet turned red as he trembled, as though it was painted by fresh blood.

“Yan Xiu!” Fang Zhengzhi frowned. Just as he was about to open his mouth again, the ground trembled suddenly, and rays of black light shot up from the ground.

Boom, boom!

Rays of black light kept shooting up from the ground, raging in the air and emitting growls that sounded like hell. Meanwhile, the floor was painted bright red like a sea of blood.

The strangest thing was, Yan Xiu’s pitch-black eyes suddenly had two red, blood-red spots.

Chapter 857: Who Can be Killed Cannot be Humiliated

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Blood red light appearing in the iris that was surrounded by pitch-darkness of hell. This type of eyes was indeed eerie.

“Attack!” Following a loud roar, a surge of murder flowed like ferocious ocean waves that spread in all directions, lifting all the small rocks from the floor.

The violence was raging continuously.

Yan Xiu moved too. With an extremely fast speed, he dashed towards the monster race like a starving wolf dashing into a herd of sheep.

However...

Were the surrounding monsters sheep?

Of course!

At the instance when Yan Xiu dashed over, one of the monsters was sent flying after being tossed by a black claw that emerged from the ground.

Meanwhile, Yan Xiu leaped quickly, hitting the monster’s head with the silver blood fan on his hand.

Boom!

The monster that took up the human form was turned back into his beast form: a bull-like beast with two huge horns.

Besides that, he spat out a silvery white monster pearl from his mouth.

It was too fast!

It happened so quickly that the surrounding monsters could not react. When the monster pearl appeared, Yan Xiu crumbled it immediately with his hand.

“Ouch!” The monster who took the form of the bull-like beast evidently was unable to take the blow. After letting out a roar, he fell to the ground, dead.

“...”

“...”

At this point in time, not only were the disciples from various sects and the disciples from the holy region stunned by the scene, Fang Zhengzhi also could barely react.

“Wow, transformation?” Fang Zhengzhi did not mind Yan Xiu becoming stronger, but the sudden increase in power definitely surprised him.

Of course, that was not the critical concern. The critical concern came when the few hundred monsters were infuriated by Yan Xiu’s sudden attack.

“Roar!”

“Die, Humans!”

“Attack!”

The bestiality of the monsters were revealed, they were steaming with rage especially after seeing a fellow monster being killed in such a cruel manner.

However, Yan Xiu did not seem to care about that.

Yan Xiu already made his second move, charging towards another monster like a wolf. Most importantly, that monster had already transformed into a size of a small mountain.

Roar! The giant claw slapped down with a sharp gust of wind, almost completely blocking out the sun. It was obvious that it was the Monster King.

Boom! Yan Xiu’s fist struck the Monster King’s sharp claw. Violent gusts of wind spread in all directions, emitting a deep and dull sound.

And the result...

Of course, the Monster King was sent flying away by the blow.

“So powerful!”

“He could fight head-on with the Monster King!”

“Furthermore, he won!”

The disciples from the various sects were extremely excited upon the sight of Yan Xiu charging into the camp of the monster race.

After all, in the history of humankind, there were only a handful of humankind who had the power to fight head-on with the monster race. Furthermore, in this case, it was fighting against the Monster King.

“It finally fused completely?” Looking at how everything unfolded, Dao Hun was extremely excited, his eyes glowing with excitement.

“Fused completely?” Frowning, Qian Yu also noticed the oddness on Yan Xiu’s body. Then, it struck him, “Is this the legendary original form of Asura that was recorded in the historical books?”

“Indeed, the Dao of Asura is the only Dao of Good and Evil in the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques. But people abandoned the Evil of Dao of Asura, and only chose to promote the Good of it. Without the Evil, the Dao of Asura is incomplete! However, Yan Xiu is different. He is the only Asura that completely fused the Good and Evil in a thousand years!”

“The Good and Evil of the Dao of Asura?”

“Qian Yu, didn’t you think that Fang Zhengzhi had a great potential? Yet now Yan Xiu has become the real Asura, even someone like me cannot win him. Do you still want to view me and Yin Yang Hall as an enemy because of Fang Zhengzhi?” Dao Hun said in an imposing manner.

“Haha...” Qian Yu smiled, pointing to the sky slowly with his fingers. A silvery white moon appeared at the tip of his fingers. “You are wrong. The reason why I stopped you was not because of Fang Zhengzhi, but because I found you... annoying!”

“Qian Yu, you... fine, fine!” Having heard this, Dao Hun did not say much. He spread his arms and pounced on Qian Yu.

Meanwhile, from the sky, Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi who were trapped by a few monsters noticed the commotion below. They also noticed both Yun Qingwu and Yan Xiu.

“Yun Qingwu, is her surname... Yun?”

“Fang Zhengzhi seems to know Yun Qingwu personally. Besides that, she was addressed as young lord. Don’t tell me Yun Qingwu is a demon?”

“Demon? By right, the demon race should have broken their ties with the monster race after the great war more than ten years ago. What was the reason that triggered their collaboration?”

“Old man Mu, do you think Yun Qingwu could be the daughter of Emperor Yun of the Demon Race and Monster Emperor Baizhi twenty years ago?”

“Regarding this... I heard that the girl was abandoned by the demon race because of her mixed identity and evicted from the Blood Shadow City. If you are right, then we are in trouble!”

“Indeed, the Demon Emperor and Monster Emperor did not love each other, their marriage was simply driven by common interests. However, after the great war more than ten years ago, both of them no longer have any common interests and instead ended up at odds with each other because of their interests. Only the girl could bring the two races together again for a collaboration!”

“No, the girl alone would not have brought the two races together. Unless... they found a common interest again!”

“A common interest again? What will that be?” Mo Shanshi had a suspicious expression on his face. Given the current situation, he could not think of any interests that could bring together the two races

“If I guessed correctly, the interest could be related to the plans of the Nangong Nobles!” Mu Qingfeng glanced up at the sky, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

That ordinary-looking long sword had a strange design on the blade.

The design looked like a bird. Exuding a mild aura of redness, it felt like the bird could come alive any time.

“Old man Mu, I haven’t seen you draw this sword in more than ten years!” Mo Shanshi’s eyes lit up when he saw the sword.

“Save the talking, let’s fight a quick battle!”

“Sure!” Mo Shanshe nodded. He placed one hand on his waist and suddenly, a foot long giant black hammer appeared in his hand.

With a petite frame and a weak palm, it was hilarious to see Mo Shanshe carrying such an incompatible black giant hammer. Nevertheless, not a single of the disciples from the holy region mocked at him. Instead, their expressions were very serious. They were very sure that Valley Master of Fu Xi Valley Mo Shanshi had never ever drawn that weapon after the great war over ten years ago.

Of course, everything that happened was ignored by Fang Zhengzhi.

This was because Fang Zhengzhi was facing an unprecedented crisis. After all, he could not abandon Yan Xiu and flee on his own.

So...

It meant that he had to fight alongside Yan Xiu, using the power of two to defeat hundreds of roaring, towering monsters.

What kind of f*ck did he land himself in?

Fang Zhengzhi was not scared of death. Although that was a contributing factor, the primary reason was that he did not feel that it was the final moment to fight.

Go all out, of course!

However, this style of physical fighting with hundreds of monsters did not fit his personality. To be frank, he had always thought he had fought with his wits.

“Charge!” Fang Zhengzhi did not wait longer, because he knew that he did not have a choice. After all, Yan Xiu had already killed a few monsters.

Boom!

Boom!

After Fang Zhengzhi struck with his sword, a corpse dropped to the floor with a silvery white monster pearl floating in midair.

This attracted the attention of more monsters.

Three figures with the build of a hill surrounded him like a triangle, trapping him in the center.

Monster King!

Three Monster Kings!

Besides that, there were countless monsters looming around the three Monster Kings. Every single pair of the monsters’ eyes was filled with the desire of blood.

“Three strikes to kill one monster... To defeat the Monster King, I at least need twenty over strikes... If we distribute the numbers equally, Yan Xiu takes two to three hundred, and I will also take two to three hundred. That adds up to eight or nine thousand strikes? Also, that is assuming I was fighting with my prime condition, and that I would not injure myself or tire myself out...” Fang Zhengzhi felt like saying, “Why do this to me?”

However, he eventually did not say it because he had no time. The surrounding monsters have surged like a wave towards him.

“Attack!”

“Kill Fang Zhengzhi!”

“To seek revenge for young lord!”

When Fang Zhengzhi did his rough calculations using the average distribution principle, he had neglected the fact that the monsters held a much higher level of hatred against him as compared to Yan Xiu.

Evidently, there were way more monsters surrounding Fang Zhengzhi.

Of course, all these were no longer important. Just like silver, upon reaching a certain amount, further addition would only add on to the number, but not the significance.

“Come at me, I will kill all of you today!” Fang Zhengzhi raised his Traceless Sword, slicing the approaching monster into half.

After all, he thought that with a fixed amount of space around him, the number of monsters that could attack him at any one point of time must be fixed too.

In such situations, if he could remain composed and keep his tempo, it was not as difficult as it seemed.

Fang Zhengzhi believed in his judgment.

However, very quickly, he noticed that something was amiss. On the ground beneath his feet, eight sharp claws suddenly appeared.

“What... Underground? Are these monsters? Alright... they are really monsters!” Fang Zhengzhi realized what he had neglected.

His opponents are monsters!

Legend says there were monsters with all sorts of strange powers. Of course, that included those who could go underneath the ground.

It was true in reality as well.

He could no longer see the sun above his head. Countless winged monsters above him had blocked the sky completely.

Besides that, the monsters kept spitting their “saliva” at him.

“Who can be killed cannot be humiliated!” Fang Zhengzhi would definitely not tolerate this humiliation. Letting out a roar, his body was covered with a thick layer of black armor.

Meanwhile, his body grew rapidly in size, growing by three feet in a blink of an eye. Black flames started burning on his body.

Boom! Fang Zhengzhi threw a punch at the Monster King’s face in front of him, causing his face to be disfigured.

This sudden change of events caused the surrounding monsters to subconsciously retreat their attack by a little.

Fang Zhengzhi made use of this break, reached out his hand above his head, clutching the monster which had been happily spitting its “saliva” on him in one hand and threw the monster hard on the floor.

Crack! The floor cracked. The winged monster moaned, its mouth was covered in blood.

As expected, it felt much better with a bigger build!

Fang Zhengzhi smiled and glanced around.

Earlier on, he was surrounded by hundreds of monsters and had lost the sight of Yun Qingwu. Now with a bigger build, he could see much further. He desperately searched for Yun Qingwu as he did not want to foolishly stay on to fight the rest of the monsters.

“There!” Fang Zhengzhi spotted Yun Qingwu almost immediately. However, he was surprised by the fact that Yun Qingwu had already retraced her steps to a position towards the back.

The strangest thing of all was that Yun Qingwu was not protected heavily with a group of monsters.

Instead, Yun Qingwu only had one figure beside her. That figure was dressed head-to-toe in a black cloak, similar to the surrounding monsters.

Yet, till now, the figure had not revealed his face.

Fang Zhengzhi had always felt that something was strange about the person hiding beneath the cloak. He seemed to be stronger than any other individual he had met before.
