Gate of God

The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were mad.

They were like famished wolves and furious roars echoed through the air. All the soldiers charged towards Fang Zhengzhi.

Fang Zhengzhi’s Blazing Qilin Spear kept stabbing at the soldiers and every strike he made killed a few soldiers and severely injured dozens of them.

It was an insane massacre.

Roars and screams were heard.

Blood formed a puddle on the ground and the entire ground was soon completely red.

As the battle between Fang Zhengzhi and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race continued, the red Tree of God became even redder and many fruits began to bear on the tree branches.

Red, blue, green, black, white…

“Stop… stop it… they are… the people of my race…” A weak voice was heard. It was from Yun Qingwu.

She was still in a coma.

However, it was as though she had seen what happened in front of her. Perhaps she was dreaming.

Fang Zhengzhi’s body trembled.

He looked at the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race who were charging towards him. There were too many of them who entered from the opening of the “cage”.

It seemed like…

It was advantageous for Fang Zhengzhi

That was because the opening was not big and hence not many soldiers reached Fang Zhengzhi at one go.

Why didn’t Nangong Mu open the cage completely?

Fang Zhengzhi noticed the gigantic red Tree of God instantly and the fruits borne on the tree.

The corpses of the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race on the ground dried up and became the fertilizers for the Tree of God.

“Nangong Mu…” Fang Zhengzhi had always thought that Nangong Mu would kill him while the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were going wild. However, it seemed like his guess was wrong.

Nobody knew what was going through Nangong Mu’s mind.

However, Fang Zhengzhi could tell that Nangong Mu was making use of him to deplete the strength of the Monster Race and Demon Race while increasing his own power.

“Stop… stop killing each other…” Yun Qingwu’s voice was heard again. She grabbed on tightly to Fang Zhengzhi’s arms and looked like she was suffering from great pain.

“Attack!”

“Attack!”

“…”

The spears of the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race stabbed towards Fang Zhengzhi again. They were mad. They could not hear Yun Qingwu at all because they only had one thought in mind.

Kill Fang Zhengzhi and get their Young Lord, Yun Qingwu, back.

The Blazing Qilin Spear in Fang Zhengzhi’s hand blocked their attack and the soaring flames lit up the sky, painting the entire sky golden.

Meanwhile, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race flew across the sky due to the impact. Their bodies collided and blocked the opening of the cage.

“Hmm?! I didn’t die!”

“I am not injured?”

“I blocked Fang Zhengzhi’s attack?!”

The soldiers of the Monster Race and Demon Race were astonished because they were determined to die when they charged forward.

They did not die?

This came as a surprise for them.

They wanted to get up from the ground instinctively but they felt that their bones were broken and they were unable to move.

At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi looked at Nangong Mu.

He seemed to have understood why Nangong Mu intentionally made a narrow opening in the cage. It was to force him to charge towards the opening.

Meanwhile, Nangong Mu mobilized three Godly State experts and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race to enter from the opening, surrounding Fang Zhengzhi and attacking him continuously.

It was an amazing scheme.

If Fang Zhengzhi was unable to break the tree branch of the red Tree of God apart, he could only proceed according to Nangong Mu’s plan.

Or until he killed all of the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race.

By then, Nangong Mu would be able to take revenge for the Monster Race and Demon Race “whole-heartedly” and kill Fang Zhengzhi.

Of course, Nangong Mu would not mind if Fang Zhengzhi died due to exhaustion.

As for Yun Qingwu…

Fang Zhengzhi believed that Nangong Mu had various ways to stimulate an accident and put the blame on Fang Zhengzhi.

“Sit this one out and reap the spoils later? Unfortunately…” Fang Zhengzhi turned around and ran backward.

“Hmm?! Trying to escape?” Nangong Mu, who was looking from the red Tree Of God, moved when he saw that. Then, countless red tree branches fell from the sky.

Instead of attacking Fang Zhengzhi, the tree branches cast a gigantic web at the direction Fang Zhengzhi was charging towards. The tree branches intertwined and formed a bloody web.

“Nangong Mu, you can’t stop me!” Fang Zhengzhi knew what Nangong Mu was up to. He raised the Blazing Qilin Spear in his hand and stabbed the bloody web in front of him.

“Fang Zhengzhi, you can’t break through the defense of the Tree of God, just give up now!” Nangong Mu’s cold voice was heard. He was evidently extremely confident of the defense of the Tree of God.

However, right after he finished his sentence, a hole was formed on the bloody web.

It was a small hole but it did indeed break apart.

Seven or eight tree branches were broken by Fang Zhengzhi’s spear.

Fresh blood flowed from the tree branch of the Tree of God and landed on the ground, radiating heat that was boiling hot.

“It broke open?!”

“Fang Zhengzhi broke through the defense of ‘Sir Chou Qi’s’ tree branches!”

“So powerful!”

The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race wanted to charge in but the opening was blocked by the severely injured soldiers of the Monster Race and Demon Race and they were unable to enter the cage.

“No way!” Nangong Mu’s tone changed from one that was cold and full of confidence to one of disbelief.

Meanwhile, he started to wave his hands and countless tree branches extended down from the sky while red roots penetrated the ground.

The tree branches from the sky intertwined with the tree roots from the ground.

It formed a wall made up of tree branches.

The thickness of the wall was at least twice as thick as the bloody web. The tree branches were also extremely thick.

“Nangong Mu, have you heard of the “Guangling Painting” before?” Fang Zhengzhi tightened his grip on Yun Qingwu as he looked at the red wall of tree branches in front of him.

“I already said, I am Chou Qi!” Nangong Mu was not easily tricked.

“I send the person I care about off with the Guangling song, only hoping to meet again in the future…” Fang Zhengzhi sighed as he looked at Yun Qingwu. Meanwhile, he tightened his grip on the Blazing Qilin Spear.

Boom!

Countless golden beams surged from Fang Zhengzhi’s body and formed a golden-silver Rebirth ring with the Rebirth Plate on the top of his head.

A silver radiance shone from the Rebirth Plate.

The golden radiance flowed into the Rebirth Plate.

This scene looked like the merger of Heaven and Earth.

After that, Fang Zhengzhi began to move. He stopped looking at Nangong Mu and stabbed at the red wall of tree branches in front of him. The golden-silver radiance blended together to form a spear that was crystal clear.

“Break through!”

“You can’t break through!”

Boom!

Fang Zhengzhi’s body and spear penetrated the red wall of tree branches. Blood spurted in the sky as though the tree branches were spurting blood.

That wasn’t the end.

Fang Zhengzhi did not stop moving his spear. He continued to advance forward and stabbed the red tree branches, cutting a few of them completely.

“Im… impossible!” Blood trickled down the corner of Nangong Mu’s mouth and the Blood Offering Illustration spun continuously in his blood-red eyes.

A terrifying bloody mist fell from the sky and covered the bodies of the soldiers of the Monster Race and Demon Race.

“Ah!”

“What’s this?!”

“I can’t breathe…”

Shouts were heard and hundreds of soldiers of the Monster Race and Demon Race fell on the ground after their bodies were covered by the bloody mist and their bodies shriveled up.

Eventually, their bodies and bones turned to a white powder form.

Fang Zhengzhi stopped moving and looked at Nangong Mu who had his head and arms exposed from the Tree of God. Then, he looked at the struggling soldiers of the Monster Race and Demon Race on the ground.

They were not people of his race.

As an ancient saying went, different races had different thoughts.

By right, Fang Zhengzhi should not feel anything for the dead soldiers of the Monster Race and Demon Race, however, for some reason, his knuckles turned white from clenching his fists.

That’s right!

The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were not humans.

However, they were still lives.

Fang Zhengzhi was about to make a comment but he could not say anything as he had also been killing the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race earlier on.

Many lives turned into corpses in his hands.

Ice cold corpses.

And the bloody river on the ground.

If Yun Qingwu did not speak, he would probably continue killing the soldiers…

Everything was telling Fang Zhengzhi that he had killed almost as many lives as Nangong Mu. In fact, a few hundred monsters and demons died under his spear.

A general conquers at the expense of myriads of lives…

A general conquers at the expense of myriads of lives!

Fang Zhengzhi bit his lips until it bled. He was not someone who craved blood but he had killed too many lives.

In the battle in the Southern Region…

In the Holy Region…

In the Blood Shadow City …

He had killed many lives repeatedly with his sword.

That was not what he wanted to do or see but he still did it. He killed many monsters, demons, and even humans.

Battle.

The battle amongst humans, the battle between demons and monsters, and the battle between humans and the monsters and demons…

There were way too many battles…

From the establishment of a dynasty to suspicions between the Monster Race and Demon Race and the conflict between humans and the monsters and demons, everything could result in a battle. The shared point about these battles was that it resulted in a mountain of remains and a river of blood.

“Why must we fight?!” Fang Zhengzhi did not want to live this way. He would rather live a peaceful life.

For example, owning a huge mansion with jewelry and hundreds of plots of land, hundreds of servants and a gentle and virtuous wife who could cook well…

Hmm, the best mansion would be one that was in front of a mountain and faced the ocean.

Fang Zhengzhi had subconsciously added another point to his goal of living an ordinary life. However, unfortunately, he had yet to live such an ordinary life.

What happened to the saying that went ‘Within a book, there is a house of gold, and within the book, there is a beautiful girl’?

Everything was a lie!

F*cking lies

Since the age of six, Fang Zhengzhi had been studying extremely hard. He attended the examination for the Law of Dao when he was fifteen and had continuously obtained the Double Roll Champion since then.

Wasn’t that a happy and carefree history of how a scholar grew up?

Why did he end up in the dispute of the dynasties and the rebel incidents of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Southern Region?

And eventually…

The event between humankind and the Monster Race and Demon Race also involved him.

How frustrating was that?

That was not the life Fang Zhengzhi wanted. He only wanted an ordinary life.

Wait a minute!

He seemed to be thinking too much.

Fang Zhengzhi stopped himself from the thoughts and looked at Yun Qingwu and Nangong Mu. “Why is it so difficult for me to live an ordinary life?”

“Ordinary?”

“Did he say he wants an ordinary life?!”

“What doe he mean?”

When the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race heard Fang Zhengzhi, they were extremely confused as they could not understand why Fang Zhengzhi mentioned about an “ordinary life” out of the blue.

Wasn’t the most important task to continue killing them?

What a tremendous change in his train of thought!

Of course, no matter how surprised the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were, it was an undeniable fact that Fang Zhengzhi had escaped from the cage he was trapped in.

They did not question the bloody mist.

That was because they were soldiers and it was their duty to obey the commands given to them. That was a rule set by Yun Qingwu when she was still their Young Lord.

They could not change it.

Even though they hated their “Sir Chou Qi” very much, they were still soldiers and could not question “Sir Chou Qi” at that point in time.

Therefore, they were still focused on getting Yun Qingwu back.

After Fang Zhengzhi escapes from the cage…

They had a chance.

That was because they had surrounded the cage and they were no longer constrained by the narrow opening of the cage after Fang Zhengzhi escaped. They could finally attack him.

“Attack!”

“Don’t let him escape!”

“Get Young Lord back!”

The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race surged towards Fang Zhengzhi like a gigantic wave.

Rumble! The ground shook. Almost instantly, the troops of th Monster Race and Demon Race swallowed Fang Zhengzhi and did not even give him a chance to speak.

“Kill him!”

“Kill him now!”

“Don’t let Fang Zhengzhi escape!”

Roars were continuously heard.
