Gate of God

“Shameless brat…” Ping Yang’s heart was aching when she saw Fang Zhengzhi smile.

That’s right.

Although this brat was shameless, he was really nice to his friends.

Be it Yan Xiu or herself, he did not show any reservations although he acted shamelessly occasionally or put the blame on himself.

“Rest assured, I am fine… spat!” Before he finished his sentence, Fang Zhengzhi’s expression changed and he spat out a mouth of blood.

The blood was spat on Ping Yang’s face.

It was boiling hot.

However, Ping Yang three herself into Fang Zhengzhi’s arms and hugged Fang Zhengzhi tightly as though she would lose him once she let go.

“I am really fine. I still have to win this competition with you.” Fang Zhengzhi wiped off the blood at the corner of his lips and patted Ping Yang on her back gently.

“Hmm, we have to win, we must win!” Ping Yang looked extremely determined.

“Win?! Hahaha… You are still talking about this now, don’t you think you are too naive?” Ling Yu laughed after hearing the conversation between Ping Yang and Fang Zhengzhi.

The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race also began laughing.

“He is still talking nonsense even though he is injured?!”

“Humans are just so naive and don’t know how to think rationally.”

“I think the competition will end in five strikes.”

“Five strikes? I don’t think they can even last through three strikes!”

The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were extremely confident when they saw that Fang Zhengzhi was injured.

After all, the powers of “Chou Qi” had surpassed their expectations. With his powers and the injuries Fang Zhengzhi was suffering, they would definitely win.

“Pavilion Master Mu, this is bad, please do something!”

“Yes, or should we retreat?”

“We can’t possibly wait here, we are definitely going to lose this battle. Once Fang Zhengzhi dies, we will really be under the control of the Monster Race and Demon Race!”

The disciples of the Human Alliance had given up.

The last hope had perished. Although the terms of the competition stated that the loser would have to “follow” the winner, they all knew that the so-called “follow” referred to “obey” instead.

The entire Human Alliance has to obey the Monster Race and Demon Race.

It was basically equivalent to dying.

Moreover, would the Monster Race and Demon Race change their mind? That was extremely possible as such change of mind happened very commonly in the past.

“Retreat, where to?!” Mu Qingfeng frowned.

He knew the tactics of the Monster Race and Demon Race very well. Even if the Human Alliance surrenders, they could not escape the fate of a massacre.

And for people like Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi…

They were the top choices for the massacre.

That was because the Monster Race and Demon Race would definitely not allow them to continue living. The humankind would only give up on defending if the two of them were killed.

“There seems to be road behind the haze, should we head there?” said one of the sect leaders as he looked at the haze behind him.

“Haze?” Mu Qingfeng looked at the haze too but he could not see what was inside it.

However, Mu Qingfeng knew what was in the haze.

It was a cliff!

A cliff that was upside down.

Looking top-down, one could see a bottomless black abyss and if one looked up, one would see blue sky.

The upside-down cliff was connected to the sky.

And the bottom of the cliff was a bottomless abyss.

Where could they run to?

Mu Qingfeng had once gone to the cliff but did not continue walking as he did not know whether there was any way out.

“Decide now, Pavilion Master Mu, even if you have only been here once, please lead us,” hurried the Sect Leader.

“Shut up!” A coarse voice was heard.

It was none other than Mo Shanshi.

Mo Shanshi was infuriated and his mustache was standing in anger. There were flames burning on the top of his head and he had definitely hit the limits of his endurance.

“Valley Master Mo, why are you scolding me?” The sect leader’s expression changed but he could only give into Mo Shanshi’s anger.

“I am already being nice to you. Fang Zhengzhi is fighting with all his might in front and you are demanding to retreat, are you trying to turn the Human Alliance into disloyal people?!” Mo Shanshi clenched his fists and was about to throw a punch

“You…” The Sect Leader was so angry that he could not speak properly. “Valley Master Mo, this is a matter of life or death, when it’s time to talk about loyalty, why would we not be loyal? However, it’s not the time to be loyal now, right? If we continue wasting time, we won’t be able to escape. Do you really want to see the Human Alliance perish here?”

“That’s right…”

“We can’t stay here and wait to die.”

“If Fang Zhengzhi could win, that would be the best. However, the situation does not look optimistic. We can’t possibly wait here, right?”

The disciples of the Human Alliance nodded their heads.

“If you want to retreat, you can, but I, Mo Shanshi, will definitely not retreat!” Mo Shanshi clenched his fists so tight that his knuckles cracked and he emitted a powerful aura.

The powerful force caused the expressions on the disciples of the Human Alliance to change. Every single one of them started perspiring and stopped making noise.

“If Fu Xi Valley wants to wait, then they can wait. We are not waiting though!” After biting his lips, the Sect Leader said again.

“I will kill you if you dare to leave!” At this moment, Wu Yuer’s voice was heard and the disciples who were wearing black surrounded the Sect Leader instantly.

“Wu Yuer, what are you doing?” The Sect leader’s expression changed again.

“Nothing much, but none of you can leave before I leave!” For once, Wu Yuer looked extremely serious.

Her eyes gave off a killer aura. It was as though a gigantic stone landed in a peaceful lake and caused waves to ripple.

“Yuer, forget it, there’s no use for them anyway, in fact, they will affect our mood. If they want to leave, so be it.” The Heavenly Oasis Saint stood out and placed one hand on Wu Yuer’s shoulder with a helpless expression.

“Master… I feel that it is not worth it for Fang Zhengzhi to risk his life for these people… really, I really feel so!”

“Who could say for sure whether it was worth it or not? Just let them leave,” sighed the Heavenly Oasis Saint.

“Hmph, let’s leave!” Hearing this, the Sect Leader said and gritted his teeth as he knew that it was meaningless for him to leave.

However, to his surprise…

He realized there was almost nobody following him when he turned and left.

“Why aren’t all of you leaving?” The Sect Leader was shocked. There were many people who supported him when he brought up the suggestion earlier on.

Yet now when he really was about to leave, there were less than five people who followed him?

Amongst the few thousand disciples of the Human Alliance, only five followed him? How shocking was that?

“Li Meng, you are not leaving too?” The Sect Leader’s face turned red when he saw a teenager who stood motionless amongst the crowd.

It was his disciple, the disciple he had instructed personally.

“Master, I will not leave. I want to stay behind. Even if I die, I don’t want others to talk about me behind my back!” The teenager shook his head and was determined.

“Well, very well, you want to stay and wait to die? Sure, then stay here!” The Sect Leader was infuriated and left without looking back.

The faces of the five disciples following him flushed red and followed quickly behind the Sect Leader.

Mo Shanshi looked at the surroundings.

Then, his gaze fell upon the elders of the Yin Yang Hall and all the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall who stayed.

Instead of asking them, Mo Shanshi nodded at the few elders.

The few elders of the Yin Yang Hall also nodded back st Mo Shanshi.

It was a small action but it was sufficient to represent the determination of the elders and the disciples of the Yin Yang Hall.

Fang Zhengzhi killed Dao Hun and Dao Xin!

However, that did not mean that the elders and the disciples should not remain loyal. Instead of leaving, they chose to stay.

…

While facing a disadvantageous situation, an expected commotion took place amongst the Human Alliance.

However, this commotion was unexpectedly minor because except for the Sect Leader and the five disciples, everyone else chose to stay.

Perhaps this was the “naivety” that the Monster Race and Demon Race was talking about when they referred to humans.

In reality, because of their naivety, humankind was able to fight amongst themselves and clinch the position of the world leader.

That was because when the real crisis hit…

Humankind would always stay united like metal plates that would not be affected by splashes of water or the heat of the fire.

Now, their reason for staying united was Fang Zhengzhi, the shameless brat they had all regarded as.

This shameless brat eliminated their fears and helped them to find hope again.

Even though the hope was extremely slim.

“So this is how humankind behaves?” Yun Qingwu looked at the surrounding disciples of the Human Alliance. She senses fear on their faces and in their eyes.

However, they still chose to stay.

They were afraid to die but still stayed on.

Yun Qingwu looked at the faces around her and her gaze finally fell upon a figure who was standing in front of Ping Yang.

That figure was not big in build but he was the one who managed to unite the entire Human Alliance.

Yun Qingwu even had the premonition that…

In the near future, this person would unite the Four Great Empires and the entire human population!

“Fang Zhengzhi, did you know? I have always hoped that one day, I will not need to depend on other people or schemes but depend solely on my fists and my legs to fight against you… Unfortunately, I will probably not have a chance to do that…” Yun Qingwu looked at Fang Zhengzhi quietly as though everything else but him had disappeared from the world.

Fang Zhengzhi, on the other hand…

Could no longer put his focus on what was happening with the Human Alliance as “Chou Qi”‘s powers made him feel the stress that this competition brought about.

Buzz! The black wings expanded from Fang Zhengzhi’s back and golden radiance flowed on them. At this point in time, he could no longer hide his powers.

He had to go all out!

No matter what, he had to fight till his death.

“What a powerful force!”

“After being slapped by Sir Chou Qi, he could still remain so powerful?!”

“Is Fang Zhengzhi a human or not?”

The expressions of the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race became serious again after they felt the powerful aura that radiated from Fang Zhengzhi’s body.

They knew that as long as Fang Zhengzhi had the strength to fight, the outcome of the competition could be changed.

Moreover…

Such incidents had happened many times.

For the battle in the Southern Region, they had initially thought that Fang Zhengzhi would lose to the Half Sage Canyang but the outcome was forcefully turned over by Fang Zhengzhi.

For the battle in the Heaven Zen Mountain when Fang Zhengzhi went against Monster Emperor Baizhi, none of the monsters and demons thought that Fang Zhengzhi would win.

Especially when the Space-splitting Demon God descended.

Who would believe that a human who had just become a sage could have the ability to kill a Demon God?

Yet, it happened. Furthermore, it happened right before their eyes. No matter how unwilling they were, they had to believe it because it was a true fact.

Many miracles happened to Fang Zhengzhi.

“Brat, you belong to the Great Xia Dynasty, don’t drag me down!” Yan Qianli landed beside Fang Zhengzhi with a concerned look but a different tone.

“Zhengzhi, let’s attack together.” Yan Xiu did not ask about Fang Zhengzhi’s injuries because he knew Fang Zhengzhi very well.

Moreover, he believed that Fang Zhengzhi would be able to fight until the end with him.

“Shameless brat, I want to attack with the three of you too!” Ping Yang stood up and pointed her Blazing Qilin Spear at Ling Ning with a stubborn look.

“Alright, now we are fighting four against three, we are at an advantage!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded and flipped his palms, revealing two long swords in his hands. With one sword on the left and the other on the right, he flapped his wings and carried Ping Yang up into the air.

“Four versus three? And they are at an advantage? I am really speechless… I would love to see how are you guys at an advantage!” Ling Yu snorted coldly.
