“Sincere? Reincarnation of Emperor Huang?” The s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d glanced at Fang Zhengzhi's eyes. He did not know whether to describe him as being too naive or simply too foolish.

How would he believe a comment that even a five-year-old child would not? Even if he had believed it, so what?

At this stage, even if Fang Zhengzhi was really the reincarnated Emperor Huang, why would he show mercy? Why would he allow such a potential threat and trouble-maker to live?

The s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d wanted to laugh.

He really did not want to continue wasting his time with Fang Zhengzhi. However, Fang Zhengzhi's stubbornness was beyond his expectations.

After a few rounds of exhilarating engagements, he was slightly afraid of closing up to Fang Zhengzhi. That was because he knew that once he had chosen to attack Fang Zhengzhi from a close distance, he would not have much advantage in terms of speed.

Furthermore, along with the engagements, he became more shocked by Fang Zhengzhi's powers. Fang Zhengzhi was so powerful that even he felt difficult to defeat him in some aspects.

For example, Fang Zhengzhi's attacking power, under the support of the Dao of Asura and the Traceless Sword, although not comparable to himself, could not be underestimated. At least, he could not use his body to defend against Fang Zhengzhi's attacks.

The other aspect would be Fang Zhengzhi's judgment.

Perhaps it should not be called judgment but rather imagination. His radical imagination made the experienced fighter lose his advantage.

He was like the ancient saying that went, ‘one never plays by the rules'.

Because of this, the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d had lost his advantage twice consecutively. Nevertheless, the main concern apart from Fang Zhengzhi was the presence of Chi Guyan.

As compared to Fang Zhengzhi's “rebellious acts”, Chi Guyan belonged to the other extreme. She was calm, decisive and extremely intelligent.

If Fang Zhengzhi's attack's were “full of loopholes”, then Chi Guyan's attacks could be said to have perfectly made up for those loopholes.

The s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d had a feeling that he was being spied on, as though all his plans could be seen through by Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan.

This was an extremely unbearable feeling but yet it felt very real.

“I can only wear them out!” The s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d gritted his teeth. To be safe, the best way was non other than keeping a distance between the two of them. As long as there was a distance between them, he could make use of his advantage in speed and his Enlightenment State. Then, the only problem left was time.

Talking about time…

He was not too anxious.

“The s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d wants to wear us out.” Chi Guyan's voice went through Fang Zhengzhi's mind.

This was not due to telepathy, but rather because Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan had constructed a cycle that connected the Yin and Yang.

Chi Guyan's voice was heard by Fang Zhengzhi's through the origin energy in the cycle.

“Hmm, I can see that.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded. He did not speak but he was certain that Chi Guyan could hear his voice.

This was a small discovery after they went through the Yin Yang cycle. However, the larger discovery was Chi Guyan's secret.

A mind-blowing secret!

It was ridiculous!

Chi Guyan's Gifted Bloodline gave her another legendary ability — the ability to accurately locate and sense temperature.

Fang Zhengzhi was well-educated.

Therefore, he had some understanding of the special features of certain animals. One of them was a special ability in some species of snakes.

The term used in the past world he was in was “infrared”.

It was scientifically proven that the “cheeks” of the Crotalinae snakes had an extremely special ability like the infrared sensor. Even during nighttime, it was able to detect surrounding warm-blooded animals and accurately locate them. This special locater in their cheeks allowed the Crotalinae snakes to hunt at night.

So…

Was Nüwa a Crotalinae snake?

Fang Zhengzhi felt that this a.s.sumption was ninety percent accurate. The only inaccuracy would be in his use of language. The actual expression should be: The ability of the Crotalinae snakes originated from Nüwa.

Of course, none of that mattered.

What mattered was that this ability was extremely potent.

Furthermore, it was especially used to defend “sneak attacks” because no matter when one springs a sneak attack, Chi Guyan will definitely realize it before that happens and “accurately locate” the attack.

“…” Fang Zhengzhi felt the chills as he recalled this fact. In fact, he had once used this sneak attack tactic on Chi Guyan.

However, he was certain that when he kicked Chi Guyan down the river previously, the Gifted Bloodline on Chi Guyan had not been entirely aroused.

Or else he would have probably died then.

He shuddered with fear just by thinking about it.

“The s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d is too fast. Even if I can locate him, it's still too difficult for me to block his attack completely.” Chi Guyan's voice could be heard by Fang Zhengzhi.

“Yes, but you don't need to block his attack entirely. In fact, if you do so, he would sense that something is wrong. I think we stand a better chance now since he cannot figure out what is happening!” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.

Ever since he knew about Chi Guyan's special ability, he had been waiting for a chance to kill the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d. In order to not let the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d pay attention to Chi Guyan, Fang Zhengzhi had been blocking the attacks for her.

In other words, the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d thought that Fang Zhengzhi was the one who had the special ability.

A fake move was a real one, a real move was a fake one.

Fang Zhengzhi was unsure if the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d would definitely fall for it, but at least for now, it looked like he had not figured out.

However, he was very troubled with the shrewdness of the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d.

A powerful demon at the G.o.d-level, he was willing to forgo his pride and start using the ‘draining' tactic with two mortals while increasing the distance between them. This was extremely unexpected for Fang Zhengzhi.

Keep bracing!

Now he had no other choice other than to keep bracing as he waited for an opportunity.

After all, if the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d kept on maintaining the distance between them, Fang Zhengzhi had no choice but to pa.s.sively defend.

Boom!

Boom, boom!

Crack…

As time pa.s.sed, loud sounds emitted from the sky while the battle between Fang Zhengzhi and the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d continued.

This surprised the monster kings.

If Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan had only managed to defend for a short time, they could tell that the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d was trying to lose on purpose.

However, without any outcomes after an hour into the battle, it would make no sense to say that the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d was trying to lose on purpose.

Why did this happen?

The monster kings could not understand. They wanted to help but they did not receive any orders from Monster Emperor Baizhi.

This was not surprising.

Although the monster race and demon race were allies, the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d was a demon after all. Furthermore, his att.i.tude was not clear. n.o.body could be sure what he would do after he killed Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan.

n.o.body knew the answer. Therefore, the best tactic was to stay put and watch out for any changes before everything was confirmed.

“Looks like he wants to kill either Fang Zhengzhi or Chi Guyan to prevent them from making trouble for the monster race and demon race!” Monster Emperor Baizhi frowned.

She clearly saw the worries that the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d had. If she was him, she also would not allow both of them to live.

“Mother, are you planning to attack?” After hearing Monster Emperor Baizhi, Yun Qingwu looked at Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan and nodded.

“Is anything wrong?” Monster Emperor Baizhi asked.

“If you have attacked from the beginning, the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d would have felt that it was unnecessary and maybe even prevented you from doing so. However, I think in this situation, he would allow you to do so.” Yun Qingwu shook her head.

“You mean now is the perfect time for me to attack?” Monster Emperor Baizhi asked again.

“It is indeed the best time to attack now, but…” Yun Qingwu hesitated as she spoke.

“Since it is the best time to attack now, then there should not be a problem. I would not be able to sleep well if Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan are still alive!” Monster Emperor Baizhi did not continue probing.

She had already made up her mind. No matter what, she would kill at least one of them today.

She did not hesitate further.

“Protect the Young Empress!” As Monster Emperor Baizhi ordered, she vanished and appeared ten steps behind Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan.

“Yes!” The monster kings had understood Monster Emperor Baizhi's intention and charged towards the top of the Tree of G.o.d without any hesitation.

Besides the monster kings, several elders of the demon race had also surrounded Yun Qingwu with a serious expression.

They did not have to worry if Monster Emperor Baizhi was beside Yun Qingwu. However, things were unpredictable after she had left.

“Young Lord, should we find a place to…”

“No, it's fine.” Yun Qingwu shook her head and broke off the elders of the demon race. Then she glanced at the few elders of the demon race and the monster kings and said, “Get into the Seven-figure Formation.”

“Yes!” The elders of the demon race understood what Yun Qingwu meant and moved quickly.

After exchanging glances with each other, the dozens of monster kings made another layer of protection outside the “Seven-figure Formation” while giving s.p.a.ce for the few elders of the demon race.

Without any time wasted, everything was ready.

Yun Qingwu did not bother to check. She knew that with the Seven-figure Formation and the protection of the dozens of monster kings, Fang Zhengzhi would not be able to get close to her for the time being.

“Mother had chosen a good spot, but… Forget it, let's hope that I am worrying too much.” After looking at Monster Emperor Baizhi's position, Yun Qingwu frowned a little but did not make too much comments.

Just as what she had said, it was the best timing for Monster Emperor Baizhi to attack. Moreover, the position that Monster Emperor Baizhi had chosen matched the timing she was about to attack.

With one at the front and one at the rear, they could spring a combined attack.

Furthermore, she had deliberately maintained a distance of ten steps and had not made an immediate move. This was equivalent to asking for the permissino of the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d.

“Old wretch, why are you so thick-skinned?” Fang Zhengzhi was clearly shocked when she saw Monster Emperor Baizhi behind him.

Besides him, Chi Guyan' facial expression also changed. Although she looked slightly worried, she tried her best to keep calm.

“Haha, your words are still very spiteful. However, I think you have mistaken. I did not say I would definitely attack if I came. Is that right, s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d?” Monster Emperor Baizhi smiled faintly. Although she was speaking to Fang Zhengzhi, she looked at the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d.

“Hmph,” the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d snorted coldly. Neither did he answer Monster Emperor Baizhi nor blame her for her behavior.

Upon seeing this, Monster Emperor Baizhi smiled even brighter and her eyes lit up. She knew that the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d had agreed.

However, his att.i.tude still made her worried. After all, this meant that the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d was unable to take down Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan for the time being.

“Are they really that powerful?” Monster Emperor Baizhi looked at Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan and the two tighty-held hands. Her white fur dress started to transform gradually and surrounded her entire body in an instant.

Although she was still in the human form, she looked like a miniature Nine-Tailed White Fox. Furthermore, the nine white fox tails had appeared behind her.

She did not believe it!

However, she was still very cautious.

The more unsure Monster Emperor Baizhi was, the more cautious she was. She did not look at Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan as though they were severely injured.

Although Fang Zhengzhi was breathing heavily, sweating profusely and covered in blood, as though he was about to die because of excess loss of blood, his condition made Monster Emperor Baizhi even more cautious.

“You brat, your grandfather wasn't even born when I was alive. Do you think I will be fooled by your act? Naive!” Monster Emperor Baizhi was very calm. She was waiting for the best moment to attack, killing Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan in one strike.
