Gate of God

What was happening?

Fang Zhengzhi fixated his eyes onto King Xieluo’s body, unable to contain his surprise.

He knew that King Xieluo would never let him go mercifully. And given the fact that Yan Qianli and Yan Xiu were both being attacked, they would never be able to rush over immediately.

Or…

Even if they were to rush over, it was impossible for them to suppress King Xieluo in his tracks. King Xieluo looked like he had been pulled back, and restrained from moving any further.

As he was thinking about all these, there seemed to saw a shadow standing behind King Xieluo. Raindrops pelted on her body, and the helm of her black dress danced in the sky.

There was a ring of glow on her neck, the ray of light not bigger than a fist, but it was bright and shiny.

That was a pendant.

A tear shaped pendant.

However, the pendant was cracked, little spots of light came shining out from it, circling around the pendant, forming a ring of light.

“Ping……Ping Yang?!” Fang Zhengzhi could not believe that it was actually Ping Yang who restrained King Xieluo. Of course, he could not believe that Ping Yang was still alive.

“It’s the Princess, your highness!”

“Princess is not dead yet?!”

“She’s still alive!”

The Mountain Break Army and the Yan Cloud Cavalry stood afar, staring with their eyes wide open. It was dark in the night, but the ring of light made them recognise the figure standing up there.

The red dress was drenched completely in blood.

Other than the long dress, blood was also flowing out from Ping Yang’s mouth, dripping down slowly, trickling down from the end of her mouth, on the neck where the light was, and then, it disappeared.

“Mother……Mother has always been by my side, she never left me!” Ping Yang glanced at him, her crystal clear eyes had lost their brightness as they started to brim with the breath of death.

She did not close her eyes, but watched King Xieluo and Fang Zhengzhi quietly, mumbling something under her breath.

“Not dead?!” King Xieluo turned his head around, his eyes still bleeding profusely, expression filled with frustration, anger and pain.

He turned and saw Ping Yang standing behind him.

Then…..

He opened his eyes forcefully.

While this caused more blood to drip out from his eyes, he paid no attention to it, he focused intently on the light around Ping Yang’s neck.

“Mother, she’s really here with me, she is looking at me. You shameless brat, mother did not leave me alone, she did not…” Ping Yang could not care less about the death stare from King Xieluo as she continued rambling, her pair of clear eyes still looking as soulless as ever.

“Ping Yang, please leave!” Fang Zhengzhi had no idea what was happening to Ping Yang, but he knew that Ping Yang had to escape since she was still alive.

“You’re shameless, I can see mother, I can really see her…” Ping Yang did not heed Fang Zhengzhi’s advice and continued rambling on.

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words back before anything came out from his mouth.

Because at this moment, King Xieluo already made his move, his blue nail claws started lunging towards Ping Yang.

There was no warning at all.

“NO!” Fang Zhengzhi wanted to stop it.

But King Xieluo was too swift, and given that Ping Yang had been standing behind him all along, he had no way to prevent King Xieluo from sneaking that attack.

“Boom!” King Xieluo’s pointy claws did not land on Ping Yang’s body. Instead, the claws clashed with the light shimmering around her neck.

Momentarily…..

The strangest phenomena happened.

Ping Yang was not blown off her feet by King Xieluo’s claw. In fact, her body did not budge at all, but King Xieluo seemed to have triggered something really horrific.

He was quivering all over, and suddenly he was pushed back immediately. Multiple golden rays of light began shining, as he let out a painful cry.

“This…”

“How is that possible? What is that thing?!”

“King Xieluo, being attacked?”

Countless soldiers form the Northern Barbarians Army witnessed the scene in front of them. Their eyes were wide open, staring in disbelief.

The Mountain Break Army and the Yan Cloud Cavalry had the same thought, nobody was able to comprehend the situation.

Even Yan Qianli, who was rushing up,` stopped immediately.

“Princess, your highness?” Yan Qianli looked closely at Ping Yang over the horizon, as well as the light ray hanging on her neck.

Just at this moment…

The ring light exploded, and the small spots that surrounded the ring dispersed around itself, creating small stars.

“Mother!” Ping Yang shouted out urgently, her eyes looked panicky, while her hands attempted to catch on the light spots, desperately piecing the spots back.

“Ping Yang!” Fang Zhengzhi charged forward, but before he could do that, he felt a terribly strong force hurling towards him.

Then…

His chest felt very heavy.

He coughed out a whole mouth of blood, sending them splashing onto the light ray.

Just then, the flying bright spots stopped suddenly. It seemed like time had stopped ticking in the air.

Heavy rain poured down from above, passing through the lights, and landing on the ground. It started forming puddles of water on the ground, while the drops of blood on the floor began flowing like a small river.

“Weng!” A loud sound shook the whole earth.

The lights started moving again, only this time round, it did not continue to spread out. Instead, it gathered back again, surging back towards Ping Yang’s body.

The little spots of light shone on her body, her white crystal jade skin glowing, just like the stars shining brightly and elegantly.

It had lit up the whole night sky.

The lights gathered around Ping Yang, and she resembled a fairy from the sky, holy and noble.

“What is that?”

“What is happening to Princess’s body?”

“Why does the light seem so strange?”

The Mountain Break Army and the Yan Cloud Cavalry were discussing how the light covering on Ping Yang’s body looked really spectacular, it almost seemed like there was a life attached to it.

Not only that…

The lights wrapping around Ping Yang’s body were shining in a sequential order, and they orbited around her body in an extraordinary fashion.

“Is it really true that Ping Yang has congenital blood?!” Shan Yu mumbled with blood around her mouth. She continued looking at the light around Ping Yang, mouth wide open.

Congenital blood.

That was how the Southern Region called it.

Regarding congenital blood, Shan Yu could say that she knew about this more than anyone in the Southern region, for she herself had that in her blood system.

There was certainly this saying in Great Xia Dynasty.

And that would be…

Xuan Heavenly Dao Body!

Anyway, whether it was the congenital blood or the Xuan Heavenly Dao Body, they were merely just terms, with many differences from one another.

For example, the blood in Shan Yu was powerful, as it allowed her to double up her inner power, becoming a leader among all the others.

But if were to compare with Chi Guyan who contained the famous Xuan Heavenly Dao Body, Shan Yu’s blood would have a few levels of difference in between.

There was a reason as to why Chi Guyan was being labelled the Pride of the Heavens by the Great Xia Dynasty, the Southern Region and the Demon Race. While she indeed had a close relationship with the Thirteen Constabularies, the most important factor was the Xuan Heavenly Dao Body in the body.

Pride of the Heavens, doted on by the Heaven, a treasure in the Heaven.

That was the difference between humans.

But Shan Yu began shaking her head after speaking.

“No… That’s not possible, this congenital blood should exist once one was born. It was unheard of that someone was able to acquire that after birth!”

Shan Yu pushed away all her thoughts at once.

Just as its name had suggested, Congenital blood, it should be in the system immediately once one was born. How could one acquire it after birth?

If this were to happen to a normal being, it was still comprehensible, as its ability might not be discovered till a later date. However, Ping Yang was born in a royal family, therefore this should never happen.

Shan Yu locked her eyes on Ping Yang, she felt puzzled by Ping Yang’s power. If it was not the congenital blood, what else did Ping Yang use to restrain King Xieluo?

Fang Zhengzhi was also staring at Ping Yang.

The difference was that he felt special, as the light formed around him, and it did not cover him up.

But he felt as though he understood the lights.

Besides, King Xieluo’s injury, which was caused by the lights from Ping Yang, had already started recovering swiftly.

Self recovery, Fang Zhengzhi could do that now…..

Although at this stage, it was almost impossible, as at this level he could feel almost the same as King Xieluo’s recovery from his broken limbs.

“Weng!”

The second sound shook the whole earth again, and this time round, all the lights went missing. They were all wrapped around Ping Yang’s body.

“Bolong!” Lightning flashed across the night sky.

Rain continued pelting on Ping Yang’s body, and she was still looking as brilliant as ever in her bright red dress, even without the protection of Red Flame Flower Armor.

“Who is your mother?!” King Xieluo glared at Ping Yang and the lights around her body, ignoring the blood oozing out from his eyes.

“Yu Er.” Ping Yang looked back at King Xieluo with her lacklustres eyes.

“Yu Er?” King Xieluo’s expression altered slightly, as he did not expect such an answer from Ping Yang.

“Yes, that is what my father calls my mother.”

“Your mother? Are you saying that your mother is the queen of the Great Xia Dynasty?” King Xieluo sounded even more shocked and confused.

“You’re right.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.” Ping Yang nodded her head with confidence.

“Alright, if that’s the case, then you shall die!” King Xieluo didn’t question any further after listening to that, and he charged towards Ping Yang immediately.

Its four claws enhanced with blue light, golden scales shining brightly as the golden ball on his head continued spinning around.

Just as King Xieluo was about to make his move….

Ping Yang also sprung into action.

No retreat, no escape, she went directly for King Xieluo, with her black aura leaving a long water line under the stormy rain.

The rays of light around Ping Yang spreaded out concurrently, shining vigorously towards King Xieluo.

“YOU…” King Xieluo did not prepare for any of this, and he had no time to escape.

The light was already in front of him.

Multiple rays of light moved around, turning into strong waves like flame, but the waves were not bright red in colour. They were silver white, like stars in the sky.

The white light travelled like flame towards King Xieluo, landing onto King Xieluo like a heavy bag, spreading fast and finally knocking on King Xieluo.

“Boom!” a loud sound rumbled.

A golden light spot spilled from the sky. Those were scales, golden scales, and along with the scales, came pouring down fresh red blood.

“OW!” King Xieluo cried out, as its blue fingernails started shattering. His body flew away, landing on the broken walls.

Rumble rumble…

The already broken walls could not withstand the heavy weight of King Xieluo and crumbled down, creating a mountain of crushed stones and sand.

“AH AH!” Several Northern Barbarians had little time to escape, and their bodies were punctured by the flying stones.

Fresh blood, flowing on the floor.

The Mountain Break Army and the Yan Cloud Cavalry who were standing behind the wall stared with their eyes wide open. Each of them looked at the enormous hole on the wall, as well as King Xieluo who was lying flat in the hole.

That was impressive!

This did not only shocked the Mountain Break Army and the Yan Cloud Cavalry, but the Northern Barbarians Army as well as the Xing Yuanguo. Even the rescued soldiers from the faraway Su Qing were horrified.

No one dared to believe the truth in front of him.

King Xieluo in this battle….

Defeated?!

And the one who struck him down, was Ping Yang?!

Ping Yang from the Star Conglomerate State!

Was there anything more incomprehensible than this?

“This cannot be the congenital blood, this can never be that!” Shan Yu’s eyes stared deeply at King Xieluo who was covered with blood, feeling very confident about her statement.
