Gate of God

“…”

Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t sure if ‘chicken’ was a word that was extremely effective against ancient beasts, but he was certain that Tao Tie and Hun Dun seemed to be actually mad.

Their anger was extremely real.

After he said that, it seemed like there were two fireballs burning on top of their heads, and the two ancient beasts charged towards him insanely.

“Roar!”

“Roar!”

Both of them attacked him ruthlessly right away. One used its teeth while the other used its claws. They came from both directions in an attempt to tear Fang Zhengzhi to shreds.

Whoost! At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi suddenly disappeared. He turned into a stream of faint blue light and vanished into thin air.

The two ancient beasts were astonished.

‘Didn’t you say that you are not going to move?!’

‘Liar!’

They glanced around and quickly realized that Fang Zhengzhi was nowhere to be found. In the meantime, the sword radiance in the sky kept falling onto their bodies like raindrops.

Ao! They were both hurt, so they turned towards Chi Guyan once again. After all, her attack wasn’t weak. It was enough to piss them off.

However, as soon as they turned towards Chi Guyan, Fang Zhengzhi appeared at the same place where he had vanished, still holding on to Traceless Sword.

“What are you looking at? I didn’t even move. Where are you dumbasses going?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the two ancient beasts condescendingly and taunted them once again.

This time, Tao Tie wasn’t angry.

Instead, he looked above Fang Zhengzhi’s head, then his eyes lit up and a chilling smile appeared on his face.

“So that’s what happened!”

“Kill him!” Hun Dun was more direct than Tao Tie. He soon pounced towards Fang Zhengzhi with his mouth wide opened and his razor-sharp teeth exposed.

Fang Zhengzhi intuitively wanted to use Heaven Dao to escape again. However, before he did that, he suddenly sensed imminent danger.

It felt like something was staring at his back.

No!

‘The four ancient beasts won’t be defeated so easily!’

Although Fang Zhengzhi had never seen Tao Tie using his abilities, he could sense the ‘predatory’ look in his eyes.

Without any hesitation, he decided to take Hun Dun’s attack head-on.

Traceless Sword moved at incredible speed, turning into a massive bolt of purple lightning and struck Hun Dun’s wide-opened mouth.

Boom!

Hun Dun trembled and backed off. On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi’s arm felt sore, as if he was an ordinary man who was struck by a big rock.

The terrifying power left a tight feeling in his chest.

His internal organs had already been wounded. Although he had recovered a little, his injuries were still fairly severe.

He felt like vomiting blood from the clash.

“Zhengzhi, are you alright?” Yan Xiu was a little anxious. Although he was standing at the Wind position, he could still feel the impact of Hun Dun’s blow.

“Shameless brat, are you ok? If you can’t hold on, I’ll do it!” Ping Yang was also anxious, and she even wanted to swap positions with him.

“Haha… It’s nothing. I’m fine.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head. He glanced at Hun Dun, as well as Tao Tie, who hadn’t made a move, and he was inwardly surprised.

‘Tao Tie didn’t take advantage of the opportunity just now to attack me?’

‘Does he have other intentions after all?’

It seemed like it was impossible to pull aggro without getting hurt.

Fang Zhengzhi knew that as the person pulling aggro, he would naturally sustain the most damage. It was basically impossible to attract the attention of the monsters without standing in harm’s way.

‘The only thing is, what is Tao Tie waiting for?’

‘For me to use Heaven Dao?’

“Who cares, die!” Fang Zhengzhi stopped thinking. Tao Tie seemed like he had a plan as he wasn’t moving. However, that also gave him the opportunity to take on Hun Dun in a 1v1 fight.

Roar! Hun Dun bellowed and charged towards him again. His massive body was like a gigantic meatball bursting with an incredible amount of power.

Boom! The ground shook.

Fang Zhengzhi held his sword firmly and attacked. Traceless Sword was covered in glittering bolts of lightning as it struck towards Hun Dun.

Boom!

Fang Zhengzhi slashed Hun Dun’s head instead of his mouth this time, and he actually wounded him.

“Ao ao ao…” Hun Dun screeched and rolled on the ground. Then, in mere moments, the wound on its head disappeared.

“I… What the f*ck?!” Fang Zhengzhi always knew that Monsters’ self-healing abilities would become extremely terrifying after they reached the Godly State.

However, wasn’t this a little too unreal?

‘Did he recover completely just by rolling on the ground?’

‘Does he really think that he’s an eraser?’

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Hun Dun bolted towards him again. His massive body left a ravine-like crack on the ground as it rolled.

Fang Zhengzhi frowned.

He couldn’t kill Hun Dun with a single blow, but Hun Dun seemed to have extremely terrifying self-healing abilities. Under these circumstances, he would eventually die from exhaustion.

Most importantly, Tao Tie seemed to be preparing for something.

Although Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t sure what Tao Tie was preparing for, he knew that Tao Tie was the real threat to him even though he was just watching the fight at the side.

At this moment, he had finally realized what kind of monsters Meng Tian was up against.

The four ancient beasts!

Every one of them had extraordinary capabilities. Qiong Qi could produce fury of hatred, control people’s minds, and turn them into killing machines.

On the other hand, Hun Dun seemed to possess insanely horrifying self-healing abilities. If his enemy couldn’t kill him with a single blow, he would be virtually unkillable.

Both of their abilities were extraordinary.

‘What is Tao Tie’s ability?’

While Fang Zhengzhi was wondering about that, a deep-blue waterfall suddenly appeared in front of him. It was completely made up of sword radiance.

As soon as the waterfall landed, it splashed into the air.

One after another, the sword radiance seemed to be drilling into the ground and resurfacing immediately, building a ‘bridge’ between him and Chi Guyan.

Boom!

Boom!

“…”

The sword radiance blasted Hun Dun continuously and stopped him from moving, forcefully bringing him to a halt when he was just three steps away from Fang Zhengzhi.

“The four elements reinforce each other!” At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi heard Chi Guyan’s voice clearly as if she was whispering into his ears.

‘Water could conduct electricity!’

‘A thunderstorm is made up of both rain and lightning!’

‘So that’s what it means.’

Fang Zhengzhi instantly understood Chi Guyan’s intention. In the Killer Formation of the Four Elements, wind and fire coexisted as the wind could strengthen the fire. Following that logic, water and electricity could also coexist.

“Dragon!”

“Slayer!”

“Slash!”

He yelled.

A dragon soared into the sky. It was completely made up of purple lightning. As it breathed, lighting bolts flickered and it began to thunder.

The dragon swallowed the silver waterfall as it flew into the air as if it was guzzling down water!

Then, the dragon descended and opened its mouth, unleashing a jet of lightning-infused ‘dragon breath’. In other words, it was Chi Guyan’s sword radiance waterfall.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The lightning-infused sword radiance blasted Hun Dun, and he was screeching as its power forced him back.

“It’s working!”

“The combination of thunder and rain is too staggering!”

“I never knew that this kind of sword move is possible!”

The Human Alliance’s disciples looked excited when they saw the attack because even they could feel its power.

‘Even Hun Dun is being overpowered?!’

‘Maybe there’s really hope that we could kill the four ancient beasts!’

The disciples of the Human Alliance were bursting with hope.

At this moment, Tao Wu, who had been sleeping on the ground, finally moved. Due to the harassment from Mu Qingfeng and the rest, he naturally couldn’t continue his act of ‘playing dead’.

Tao Wu’s eyes were wide opened.

He was obviously unhappy about the harassment coming from Mu Qingfeng and his companions. He swung his long tail and mercilessly whipped Sect leader Li, who was at the front.

“Bam!”

Sect leader Li was sent flying. Even though he was wielding the Tri-colored Ice Silk, he couldn’t stand a chance against Tao Wu’s tailwhip.

“Watch out, everyone. Don’t take him head-on!” Mu Qingfeng caught Li Mengzhong with a stream of green radiance and yelled.

“Roger!”

“Try your best to fight him indirectly and keep him busy. DO NOT get close to him!”

“Wear him down with our numbers!”

Mo Shanshi and Yan Qianli soon added on.

They naturally weren’t strong enough to take one of the four ancient beasts, Tao Wu, head-on. Hence, choosing to fight him indirectly and avoiding a head-on battle was the wisest choice.

“Fight me indirectly? Haha…” Tao Wu laughed and mumbled. Then, he leaped into the air and rushed towards Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five.

“Crap! This son of a bitch is trying to escape!”

“We mustn’t let him get away. Stop him!”

“I’ll get him!” Mo Shanshi roared. Then, he shot into the air and chased after Tao Wu.

“Old Mo, watch out! It may be a trap!” Mu Qingfeng was astonished that he saw that.

Tao Wu’s personality was extremely bizarre. Mu Qingfeng saw Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five almost getting screwed by Tao Wu with his own eyes just now. If Meng Tian hadn’t interfered at the critical moment and fended off three of the four ancient beasts, Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five would definitely be injured by the four beasts’ combined attack.

Roar! A beastly roar was heard.

It was just as what Mu Qingfeng expected. As the saying goes, ‘Speak of the devil and he shall appear’.

As soon as Mo Shanshi leaped into the air, Tao Wu suddenly turned around and twisted his body to a terrifying extent.

That felt like…

“I knew it, this son of a bitch is sly!” Mo Shanshi was surprised, and he quickly shielded himself with his giant black hammer. However, it was too late, as Tao Wu’s tail had already struck his back.

It wasn’t even a frontal attack!

“Bam!”

Mo Shanshi was sent flying. He vomited blood and his face turned black. He had already been injured, so things were obviously going from bad to worse.

“Die!” Tao Wu moved again. He leaped around in the sky like a shooting star. His constant movements made it seem like there were ‘stairs’ beneath his feet.

It was strange that he was so nimble.

“Old Mo!” Mu Qingfeng was anxious because Tao Wu was too fast.

Just when Tao Wu was about to sink his teeth into Mo Shanshi, a bright red radiance appeared and appeared in front of Tao Wu out of nowhere.

Bam! Tao Wu’s head clashed against the red radiance and shattered it into many spots of light.

At the meantime, Yan Qianli, who was standing behind the red radiance, vomited blood.

“Prince Yan!” Mu Qingfeng’s heart ached. In mere moments, both Mo Shanshi and Yan Qianli became injured. Mo Shanshi even lost his ability to fight completely.

It was too terrifying!

Although Yan Qianli saved Mo Shanshi at the cost of getting injured, the situation was taking a turn for the worse.

‘A single ancient beast is already such a tough nut to crack, yet, Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan are handling two of them?! Each generation is truly getting better than the previous one!’ Mu Qingfeng exclaimed inwardly, but he didn’t stop moving. He quickly rescued Mo Shanshi and Yan Qianli and popped two pills into their mouths.

“This son of a bitch… It seems like he could actually… Walk in the air!” Said Mo Shanshi with, unwilling to accept his defeat.

He was once a sect leader of one of the Five Sects of the Holy Region.

Yet, he was defeated by Tao Wu in a single blow. This was a hard pill for him to swallow.

“I figured it out. Relax, I’ve got an idea!” Mu Qingfeng nodded and lay Mo Shanshi down. Then, he glanced around and said, “Sect leaders, are you willing to trust me?”

“Pavilion Master Mu, please speak your mind!”

“Let’s get close to him!”

“Get close to him?!” All the sect leaders looked like they couldn’t believe what he had just said. After all, Tao Wu was one of the four ancient beasts.

Fighting a monster up close!

That was unbelievable.

“Ok, we’ll get close to him.” Yan Qianli was also startled. However, he quickly agreed without any doubts.

“Are we really going to get close to him?”

“To a monster?”

“I trust Pavilion Master Mu. He must have his reasons!”

“Alright, let’s do it.”

Very soon, all the sect leaders nodded their heads in agreement. Although they didn’t understand Mu Qingfeng’s intention, they could only trust his decision now.

…

The fights were all getting heated, be it Fang Zhengzhi’s battle, Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five’s battle, or Mu Qingfeng and Yan Qianli’s battle.

The four ancient beasts also unleashed their terrifying strength.

Although Qiong Qi was at a disadvantage because he was fighting Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five by himself, their battle didn’t seem like it was ending anytime soon.

Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan managed to overpower Hun Dun with their combined power, but Tao Tie didn’t join the fight, so the situation was bizarre.

Mu Qingfeng’s side was in a worse spot. Yan Qianli was injured after just a short exchange, and Mo Shanshi even lost the ability to fight completely.

Everyone was watching the battles.

Even Monster Emperor Baizhi and Yun Qingwu looked a little nervous.

It was too intense.

This was definitely an insane battle.

Since no one was putting their attention somewhere else, then naturally no one noticed that Nangong Mu, who was unconscious, had opened his eyes once again.
