There was no way to do this happily.

Two more popped up after he killed one of them, and now a whole d.a.m.n bunch of them appeared after he dealt with the previous two.

Fang Zhengzhi felt like there was no end to his enemies. They were like a neverending flood and he could never kill them all. Moreover, the more enemies he slaughtered, the stronger the new enemies were.

He didn't even have the time to take care of the four ancient beasts before Chi You's twelve warlocks descended.

In that case, would even stronger existences appear?

Fang Zhengzhi wasn't sure about that, but the chances of that happening were incredibly big. That was because he could sense that this world was heavily connected to the legends that he knew about in his previous life.

The four ancient beasts?

They were just the tip of the iceberg.

Apart from them, there were many other legendary beings, such as the Four Spiritual Beasts, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Qilin, and the Phoenix…

There were too many of them.

And that was just the Monster Race.

If the twelve ancient warlocks were affiliated with the Demon Race, how many more powerful fighters were there in Chi You's Race? It would be uncountable.

The stars…

Yeah, there were as many ancient masters as the stars.

How many of these masters that could occupy their own territories in the galaxy had survived, and how many of them would descend into this world? This was completely out of one's control.

Kill them?

Fang Zhengzhi didn't mind killing some of them. However, the problem was, could he actually kill them? And could he kill them all?

Putting other things aside, the four ancient beasts alone were enough to give him a headache. Now that the twelve warlocks of the Demon Race had descended as well, this was completely going out of hand.

Boom!

Boom!

“…”

While Fang Zhengzhi was occupied with his thoughts, more radiance descended from the Gates of G.o.d of the Two Realms of Monsters and Demons. It was like a flash flood that couldn't be stopped.

Boom! A giant black rock exploded.

A huge monster with white fur and was shaped like a snow leopard appeared from the dust. Its long tail was wagging behind its back.

“Bai Ze?!” Fang Zhengzhi's eyes became wide open when he saw that monster.

Just as he had expected, powerful masters weren't just appearing from the Gate of G.o.d of the Monster Realm. They were appearing from the Gate of G.o.d of the Monster Realm too.

Bai Ze!

A G.o.dly Beast that was equally terrifying.

It lived in the mythical Mount Kun Lun according to the legends, and it was horrifyingly powerful.

“It's Bai Ze!”

“Another G.o.dly Beast?!”

“What should we do? What exactly should we, humans, do?”

The disciples of the Human Alliance really started panicking when they saw Bai Ze.

The four ancient beasts, together with the twelve warlocks and now Bai Ze, had all appeared. Was there really a need to continue this battle?

Boom!

Flame soared into the air.

Then, they heard a crisp tweet. It was a gigantic red bird that had appeared from a giant black rock. It was shaped like a crane, but its entire body was red, and it only had a single leg.

Fang Zhengzhi intuitively wanted to yell out the name ‘Vermilion Bird', but he realized that he was wrong after he saw that single leg. It was Bi Fang that appeared, not Vermilion Bird.

He was another G.o.dly Bird.

Although he wasn't as terrifying as Vermilion Bird, it was still incredibly powerful. Most of the humans here did not stand any chance against him.

“Another one?!”

“Is that the ancient G.o.dly Beast, Blazing Crane Bi Fang?!”

“This is over, we are really doomed this time!”

The disciples of the Human Alliance felt hopeless. They didn't even have the strength to think about it anymore because this battle was no longer something that they could control.

Far too many G.o.dly Beasts had descended.

Furthermore, many ma.s.sive figures appeared behind the twelve warlocks one after another. They walked towards the warlocks and kneeled down behind them.

“Greetings, master Hong You!”

“Greetings, master Qing Xin!”

“…”

Similar greetings were heard one after another. It was clear that these demons were extremely tall. Even the shortest ones were standing at a height of close to three meters.

All of them were from Chi You's Race.

This scene didn't just leave the Human Alliance's disciples dumbfounded. Even the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race opened their eyes wide with astonishment.

That was because their brain couldn't even keep up with the huge number of masters that had descended. The entire world seemed to have gone back to the ancient era all of a sudden.

That's right!

The ancient era!

Countless ancient masters had descended. Furthermore, the Gates of G.o.d of the Two Realms of Monsters and Demons were still blooming with radiance.

More ancient masters continued to rush out of the two Gates of G.o.d.

This was a nerve-wracking sight.'

“Against so many ancient masters, is there still any hope… For mankind?” Nangong Mu raised his head and watched the radiance that fell from the sky. No one knew what his thoughts were.

Yan Qing didn't say a word.

That was because he didn't know what to say.

The development had far exceeded what his mind could keep up with. Too many ancient masters had descended, and to make things worse, it all happened at almost exactly the same time.

It felt like they had planned this beforehand.

If they were just up against the four ancient beasts, there might still be a faint hope if Fang Zhengzhi and the rest fought with their lives on the line.

However, if they were up against such a terrifying army of ancient masters…

No one could possibly beat them.

Even if Emperor Huang Xuanyuan was here, he wouldn't dare to claim that he could defeat this ma.s.sive army of ancient masters by himself, not to mention Fang Zhengzhi.

“There is no hope. There isn't any hope for the Human Alliance, or for this world. It's impossible. There is no hope… For us too…” Nangong Mu mumbled as he stood there motionless. His face was full of despair and he wasn't going to avoid the rocks that were flying towards him.

Bam! Yan Qing caught a rock that was flying towards Nangong Mu's face, and a little blood dripped off his palm.

“Nangong Mu, relax. I'd bring you out of this place even if I lose my life. I won't let you die!' Yan Qing looked extremely determined.

“If you lose your life, how are you going to bring me out of this place?” Nangong Mu asked.

“…” Yan Qing was speechless. He wasn't a good talker, and it was just a figure of speech to express his determination. However, he couldn't answer Nangong Mu's question.

‘How are we going to leave this place if we are dead?'

“Go, you don't have to care about me. I just want to stay here with my big brother and….” Nangong Mu waved his wand and sat down before Yan Qing replied to his question.

Bam!

Nangong Mu took a solid punch to his head, and he landed on the ground head first. His face was covered in dirt and there was a fresh bloodstain on the corner of his mouth. It was eye-catching.

The person who hit him was naturally Yan Qing.

Yan Qing was furious.

When he saw Nangong Mu sitting down, he didn't know what went through his mind. He just wanted to wake him up with a good beating.

It was a very strange feeling.

Even Yan Qing himself didn't know what was the purpose of waking Nangong Mu up.

“Hehe…” Nangong Mu laughed.

“Why are you laughing? Mankind is on the verge of defeat, and the entire world is going to be screwed. Great Xia Dynasty, War Pinnacle Empire, and all the other empires will no longer exist!” Yan Qing screamed.

However, Nangong Mu just kept laughing as if he didn't hear him. He was laughing so madly that his body was twitching on the ground.

“Empires? You are still talking about empires at this moment?!” Nangong Mu suddenly became insane after he was done laughing and he pounced towards Yan Qing.

Bam!

However, he dropped onto the ground very quickly after Yan Qing threw a punch at him.

He spat out blood and the expression on his face became a little twisted. The corner of his mouth was covered in blood, but he still wasn't giving up.

It seemed like he wanted to kill Yan Qing.

“Screw off and leave me alone! You have no rights to mind my business!” Nangong Mu kept swung his fists at Yan Qing. The golden radiance in his eyes flickered, but there was no strength in his punches.

Bam!

Yan Qing dropped him to the ground once again.

However, he didn't give up. He kept charging towards Yan Qing.

He stood up and charged towards Yan Qing again and again. Then, he would end up on the ground, before standing up and charging towards Yan Qing once more. It was as if he was crazy.

“Nangong Mu, we are friends!” After the seventh time that he was defeated, Yan Qing suddenly bent down and grabbed Nangong Mu's cloth and exclaimed.

“Friends?!” Nangong Mu trembled. He looked at Yan Qing with an extremely weird and complicated expression on his face, but soon, he laughed and said, “Do you think that YOU are worthy? How could you call yourself my friend? How can you help me? There is nothing you could do for me as a friend!”

“That's right, I can't help you. However, I've considered you to be one of my few friends ever since I fought against you in Heaven Dao Pavilion!” Yan Qing shouted angrily at Nangong Mu.

“Don't be naive. I, Nangong Mu, don't need any friends! Fang Zhengzhi has deceived me, and you want to deceive me too. It's not happening, I'd never fall for it again!” Nangong Mu also yelled furiously.

“Fang Zhengzhi didn't deceive you!”

“He did!”

“He was helping you. He has been helping you all along. Furthermore, he didn't want to kill you even though you betrayed mankind. He never did!”

“Is that right? Didn't that dragon save me?”

“Did you really think that senior Xuanyuan Five could save you by himself? If Fang Zhengzhi wanted to kill you, you'd have already been dead!”

“…” Nangong Mu fell silent.

He didn't laugh this time because he knew that Yan Qing was speaking the truth. If Fang Zhengzhi really wanted to kill him, he naturally had many ways to do it.

He knew Fang Zhengzhi's personality well.

He didn't like to take lives unnecessarily.

However, he would be extremely decisive if he really wanted to kill someone.

For example, Fang Zhengzhi slaughtered five Sages consecutively underneath Heaven Dao Pavilion's mountain. Another example would be how he had killed several G.o.ds just now.

“Yan Qing, what exactly are you saying to say? If you want me to save the Human Alliance, let me tell you that it'd only happen in your dreams. It's not possible. It will never happen!” Nangong Mu stared at Yan Qing.

“Do you really have an idea?” Yan Qing's eyes lit up.

“No!”

“No, you do. You're Nangong Mu, a descendant of Emperor Yan. Since you know about the ancient era, you must have an idea, right?” Yan Qing questioned him.

“You're wrong. I know nothing apart from my mission.” Nangong Mu shook his head.

“It seems like I'm mistaken… However, I'd still treat you as a friend even if you don't know anything else and even if you don't treat me as your friend.” Yan Qing shook his head and let go of Nangong Mu's collar.

“Hehe, that's funny!” Nangong Mu patted his cloth, looked towards the countless ma.s.sive figures in the near distance and uttered, “The twelve ancient warlocks, as well as the warriors of Chi You's Race, together with the four ancient beasts and other ancient G.o.dly Beasts like Bai Ze and Bi Fang. Mankind… Is fated to be doomed!” ”

“You're right.” Yan Qing nodded. Then, he walked towards the battlefield with extreme determination.

“Where are you going?” Nangong Mu asked intuitively.

“I'm going to kill them!”

“By yourself?”

“Yeah, by myself.”

“You're just courting death!”

“What's so scary about dying? At the very least, I did what I could for mankind. Even if I die, I'd die without any regrets!” After Yan Qing said that, he rushed towards the most powerful Demons, the twelve warlocks. Moreover, he was targeting Hong You.

This definitely surprised the disciples of the Human Alliance.

Similarly, Hong You, who was standing amidst a group of Chi You's warriors, was also a little astonished. After all, he really didn't expect a feeble human to challenge him.

“Hmm?” Hong You smiled faintly when he saw the person rus.h.i.+ng towards him. Then, he slowly raised his right hand.

Crack!

Hong You caught Yan Qing just like that.

It felt like Yan Qing was pulled away by an extremely powerful suction force. He ended up in Hong You's hand instantly.

“Yan Qing!” Nangong Mu yelled.

For some reason, he didn't want Yan Qing to die. It might be because he once fought against Yan Qing, or it might be because there were too many similarities between the two of them.

Untalkative.

Bad at interacting.

Few friends throughout the entire life.

Lonely, yet appearing to be extremely strong.

However, who really knew how much they desired friends, care, love from their parents, and everything warm in this world, underneath their strong appearances.

Yan Qing…

Was a monster that grew up in the woods.

Nangong Mu…

Was ignored by his family and born to shoulder his family's mission.

Their fates were too similar and their personalities had too much in common. All of that led to the reluctance in Nangong Mu's heart.

If Yan Qing really died.

Who else in this world could understand his inner self?

“You didn't even die from this? Your physique is pretty good.” Hong You pinched Yan Qing's neck and allowed him to struggle in his hands. His smile grew colder and he said, “It seems like you have inherited a tiny portion of our bloodline of Chi You. Hmm… If you pledge your loyalty to me, I could consider letting you off. What do you say?”

“In… In your dreams!” Yan Qing's face was bright red. He found it hard to breathe due to Hong You's might. His body's power seemed to have been completely restrained, and he couldn't move a single muscle.

‘Is this the power of the twelve ancient warlocks?'

‘They are really so strong!'
