953 Face On The Ground

Fang Zhengzhi was not too mean. In fact, he was kind at times, for example, he plucked a green apple and fed it to the Monster King.

Even though the apple might be poisonous, it was not important.

"Have you heard of 'Dao imitating the laws of nature'?" Fang Zhengzhi's voice was soft but clear.

"Dao… Dao imitating the laws of nature?" The body of the leader of the Monster Kings shook. He did not understand why Fang Zhengzhi started to discuss this topic and completely disregarded his question about Fang Zhengzhi's real ident.i.ty.

The Monster King did not want to answer because it was related to the knowledge of humankind and was starkly different from his life.

Just like how humans used the term "Origin Energy" to describe powers while the monsters called it the "Monster Energy". It was a cultural difference.

"You don't want to answer me, do you? What about 'don't do unto others what you wouldn't want to be done unto you', have you heard of that?" Fang Zhengzhi spoke again.

"What… What do you mean?" The leader of the Monster Kings said with the last bit of energy.

"To put it frankly, are you f*cking stupid? If you don't answer my question, why should I answer yours?"

"…" The leader of the Monster Kings widened his eyes even though the radiance in his red eyes were slowly fading away.

He understood what Fang Zhengzhi meant but he had no energy to speak.

He was unwilling to die!

Really unwilling!

He was unable to know the truth before he died. However, just as what Fang Zhengzhi had said, if he didn't answer Fang Zhengzhi's question, Fang Zhengzhi would definitely not answer his question.

It was a ridicule.

'Don't do unto others what you wouldn't want to be done unto you…'

Death could really make one's mind clear and understand logic, other's suggestions and culture.

The leader of the Monster Kings was slightly regretful. He should have listened to the advice given by the Demon General to avoid fighting against "Meng Tian". If he had listened to his advice, he probably would not have died.

However, unfortunately, there was no cure for regret. He died. Similarly, the Demon General also died.

However, the difference was that the Monster King died in the hands of "Meng Tian" but the Demon General died by having his head stepped on and crushed by Chou Qi.

Boom! The body of the leader of the Monster Kings landed heavily on the ground as his eyes gradually closed.

This scene happened too quickly and eerily.

The surrounding Monster Kings still had not regained their senses, how did "Meng Tian" kill the leader of the Monster Kings, why was he able to force the real body out of the Monster?

It was too strange.

It was like a riddle that could not be solved.

Therefore, should they continue the battle?

In the past, this was a question that did not require contemplation as there had never been Monster Kings who fled in the middle of a battle in the history of the Monster Race.

However, they had to contemplate over this question now.

That was because they had very little chances of winning the battle. In fact, two Monster Kings had died in front of them within a span of fewer than 15 minutes.

Moreover, they will be killed by the same person.

Most importantly, that person had turned his gaze to the Monster Kings with his silvery-white eyes.

He looked as if he was hunting for his next prey.

"Run!" This was a difficult decision for the Monster Kings but all of them had made the same decision at that point in time.

At the foot of the cliff of the Sword Peak of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, Mu Qingfeng who was dressed like "Meng Tian" was ready to retreat with ten over Sages when a figure appeared in front of them.

"Master, there's a piece of important news!"

"Speak!" Mu Qingfeng recognized the person in front of him as one of the disciples of the Heaven Dao Pavilion whom he had planted at the Heaven Dao Pavilion. He was the 'spy' of which he made use of to obtain the situation in the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

"Meng Tian appeared!"

"Meng Tian?! You mean?"

"The real Meng Tian, the Meng Tian who had killed Lin Ji in the Southern Region and captured the Demon Lord in the Blood Shadow City!" The figure replied immediately.

"You said that the real Meng Tian… No, Senior Meng Tian appeared?! Where is he now?" Mu Qingfeng was shocked.

"At the cliff of the Sword Peak of the Heaven Dao Pavilion!"

"Impossible, I just returned from that place. Furthermore, there were eight Monster Kings guarding over there, how could Senior Meng Tian possibly appear there? Hold on, you mean Meng Tian is being surrounded by the eight Monster Kings now? Or does Senior Meng Tian belong to the Monster Race and Demon Race?" Just as Mu Qingfeng was about to shake his head, he thought of something and immediately shot out two questions.

"He was being surrounded, but…"

"But what?"

"According to what I saw, Senior Meng Tian had intentionally headed to the cliff of the Sword Peak. Initially, I thought Senior Meng Tian belonged to the Monster Race and Demon Race, but…"

"But what?" Mu Qingfeng asked again.

Meanwhile, the Sages around Mu Qingfeng held their breaths as they awaited the disciple's response.

"Senior Meng Tian, he… he killed two Monster Kings!"

"What?!"

Apart from Mu Qingfeng, the other Sages widened their eyes when they heard this.

It was not shocking for one to kill a Monster King. However, it happened on the cliff of the Sword Peak.

There were eight Monster Kings and countless Demon soldiers guarding at that location and was the most heavily armed location.

Mu Qingfeng had also killed a Monster King.

However, he had to pay a price. Mu Qingfeng was used as the bait to lure the other Monster Kings away before the rest of the ten over Sages combined efforts and killed the Monster King.

However, it was not even ten minutes since Mu Qingfeng left the Heaven Dao Pavilion. That meant that the murder had just taken place.

Just?

How long did he take?

An individual, under the surround of eight Monster Kings, managed to kill two Monster Kings effortlessly, how powerful was he? Could it be that Sagely Battle G.o.d Meng Tian had obtained the G.o.dly State too?

If the head of Lin Ji that Wu Yuer had thrown on the Ling Xiao Mountain was not sufficient to prove the Sagely Battle G.o.d's ident.i.ty and capability, the suspicions amongst the people disappeared when the disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion gave his report.

That was because the Monster Race and Demon Race could not have possibly done that!

They would definitely not kill two Monster Kings and a G.o.dly State Monster in order to convince the people that the Sagely Battle G.o.d Meng Tian is a human.

Moreover, Yun Qingwu represented the Demon Race in some aspects.

Sacrificing three powerful monsters for one "Sagely Battle G.o.d"? How would Monster Emperor Baizhi agree to that? How would Yun Qingwu make such a rash decision?

"How's the situation on the cliff of the Sword Peak now?" After taking a deep breath, Mu Qingfeng calmed himself down.

"After the two Monster Kings died, the remaining six Monster Kings were ready to escape. Upon seeing this, I immediately made my way down to report this to you!"

"Alright, go up now and report to me if there are any new developments!"

"Roger!" The figure leaped to the back of a small beast that was wrapped in black gauze all over his body.

This was the beast that had been specially trained by the Heaven Dao Pavilion to obtain intelligence report around the Heaven Dao Pavilion. He could fly sufficiently high and had a sufficiently small build. After being wrapped by black gauze, n.o.body could see him at night.

After the disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion left, Mu Qingfeng turned to the surrounding sages and clenched his fist as though he was making a decision.

"Vice Alliance Leader Mu, have you made up your mind?" One of the sages could roughly read Mu Qingfeng's mind by looking at his expression.

"What do you all think?" Instead of answering his question, Mu Qingfeng asked the sages.

"To be honest, I did not believe it initially. However, I have to admit that Senior Meng Tian's plan is indeed extremely well-thought out," said the Sage.

"Yes, based on the intelligence reports from the other teams, we can roughly confirm that the four teams had not suffered any loss and in fact, accomplished our missions successfully and killed a Monster King each. In the past, killing four Monster Kings was a dream!" Another sage nodded and agreed immediately.

"Since we have Senior Meng Tian, what are we afraid of?"

"Exactly!"

"With Senior Meng Tian, we can hold back the G.o.dly State expert in the Heaven Dao Pavilion. We leave other decisions to you, Vice Alliance Leader Mu!"

The other sages also expressed their thoughts.

"Alright, then let's send a signal to others. However… We have to seek approval from Dao Hun as he is after all the Alliance Leader of the Human Alliance." After giving it some thoughts, Mu Qingfeng nodded and made the final decision.

"What a wise decision, Vice Alliance Leader Mu, then we shall proceed to contact the rest!"

"Don't forget to bring Sect Leader Wu along. She is holding onto the kits given by Senior Meng Tian. I am still very interested to know what is inside the kit!"

"Hahaha… Me too!"

The other Sages laughed when they heard this.

On the cliff of the Sword Peak, Fang Zhengzhi stood quietly and looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky with a silvery-white radiance flas.h.i.+ng across his eyes.

Meanwhile, Ping Yang, who was beside him, imitated his actions although her eyes did not show a similar calmness.

Of course, anyone who had been surrounded by the Monster Kings and Demon troops would not have the mood to enjoy the scenery of the night sky?

However, Fang Zhengzhi did.

When the Monster Kings shouted "run", he immediately responded.

"Run slowly, don't trip and fall, anyway… I won't catch you!" The six Monster Kings froze on their spots when they heard Fang Zhengzhi's voice.

What on earth?

An unscrupulous insult?

The Monster Kings wanted to run and stay far away from Fang Zhengzhi. However, they were unable to continue running when they heard this.

They could only surround Fang Zhengzhi…

It was a helpless stalemate.

A weird one too.

The six Monster Kings stood a distance away from Fang Zhengzhi. The Demon soldiers behind them held on tightly to their swords.

However, none of the monsters or demons dared to take a step forward.

"What a beautiful night scenery, you don't seem to be able to appreciate it." Fang Zhengzhi said to Ping Yang.

"Hmph, I can't appreciate it?" Ping Yang imitated Fang Zhengzhi's tone and pouted. Then, she rolled her eyes. "Why aren't we fleeing?"

"That's right, why aren't you fleeing?" Fang Zhengzhi asked back.

"…" Ping Yang's mouth moved as though she was holding in her anger. She placed both her hands on her slim waist and said, "I… I flee?!"

Ping Yang was indignant but also slightly confused. Based on Fang Zhengzhi's personality, he should have fled long ago.

Although she did not a.s.sume that Fang Zhengzhi could not defeat the G.o.dly State expert in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, based on her interactions with Fang Zhengzhi these few days, she could sense that Fang Zhengzhi was not fully confident of defeating the G.o.dly State expert.

That was also the reason why Ping Yang thought Fang Zhengzhi would flee.

After all, based on her understanding of Fang Zhengzhi, he was not a person who would do things that he was not confident of. Therefore, a sneak attack would be the normal choice?

Unless this shameless brat changed?

Just as Ping Yang was trying to read Fang Zhengzhi's mind, an icy cold aura of death came attacking at her from her back. It felt as though there were countless of spirits wandering behind her and their cries caused her to shudder.

Danger!

Ping Yang reacted immediately and wanted to push Fang Zhengzhi over. However, before she even moved, Fang Zhengzhi had already moved.

"I knew you would do this." As Fang Zhengzhi said this, he leaned back and caused Ping Yang to miss his body. Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi sighed softly, "I also want to flee, but unfortunately, I can't."
