Li Sha's eyes opened at this moment with bolts of purple lightning and frustration in them.

"Trying to kill me like this?! Dream on!" Li Sha roared furiously before the scar on his forehead opened.

It opened like an eye but for some reason, there was no radiance in that scar, instead, it was filled with muddy water that was as black as ink.

"Im… Impossible!" Li Sha could not believe it.

"It is the seal!" Mu Xing looked shocked when he saw Li Sha's forehead.

"Se… seal?!" Li Sha was stunned for a moment. Then, a look of despair took over the frustration on his face.

The depletion of strength made him realize where he was.

He was drowning!

An image flashed across Li Sha's mind, it was the image he saw when he got forced into the water to 'drown'.

It was a gigantic Picture of Rebirth State.

Blue, green, red, black, silver, five different colors were s.h.i.+ning on the Picture of Rebirth State like the brightest stars in the sky.

Moreover, the Rebirth Plate was pressed on his forehead.

"No!!!" Li Sha's ferocious roar was heard.

He wanted to run but he could not. The bolts of purple lightning had penetrated his body and tore it apart.

Moreover, he could not exert any energy from within his body as all of the energy were forcefully suppressed by the Rebirth Plate

Rebirth Plate?!

How did this Rebirth Plate come about?

No, he… he was not Meng Tian…

Boom! Li Sha's body could no longer withstand the force and exploded into a cloud of blood that landed on the ground like rain.

Li Sha was not willing to die in such an insulting manner because he was a G.o.d, he was a powerful individual that came from the past, he was a powerful Demon G.o.d.

However, no matter how unwilling he was, he had no chances of surviving and could not even shout out his final thoughts.

He died, he died very quickly.

This scene shocked all of the G.o.dly State experts.

In a three versus one situation, Li Sha was still killed by "Meng Tian" with such a strange tactic and in such a short period of time.

What was going on?

Why could "Meng Tian" break through Li Sha's 'drowning' technique? Why did Li Sha's Demon Eye get sealed?

Questions flashed across the G.o.dly State experts' minds but none of them had the answer to the unsolvable mystery.

"So it looks like we are left with two now?" Fang Zhengzhi landed on the ground along with the nine long swords that penetrated the ground around him.

Like earlier on, he did not look at Qin Xian and Mu Xing but turned to Yun Qingwu who was guarded by the three G.o.dly State experts.

"So powerful, he is really so powerful!"

"Sagely Battle G.o.d Meng Tian can really defeat three people alone!"

"We have hope, we still have hope!"

The disciples of the Human Alliance were astonished but this astonishment gave them the hope that humankind would win.

"Senior Meng Tian…" Mo Shans.h.i.+ wanted to say something but he was so severely injured that he had no energy to speak.

Qin Xian's flower was poisonous!

Perhaps it was not only a poisonous flower but also a flower that could absorb the vitality of a human being!

"Hahaha, attack, use the smoke formation to distract them and kill Yun Qingwu!" The excited Ping Yang began to command the Human Alliance.

"Smoke formation? Distract?"

"Would it work?"

"She came with Senior Meng Tian, let's not care about her ident.i.ty and follow her instructions!"

The disciples of the Human Alliance were somewhat speechless but after remembering the scene where"Meng Tian" was being carried by Ping Yang, they followed her instructions immediately.

Smoke began rising. White, grey, black, all colors of smoke that could be used were used all at once.

Meanwhile, Yun Qingwu stood in the smoke and stared at Fang Zhengzhi. Instead of answering him, she raised her hand.

Zoom!

An eye-catching stream of stars appeared in the bright sky and gave off an eye-catching radiance.

At the instant when the stars shone, a loud roar was heard.

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

Roars were heard from afar accompanied by footsteps and sounds made by the horses. The majestic aura was terrifying.

The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race had arrived!

"So I see, you have a backup plan?" Fang Zhengzhi knew what Yun Qingwu had done when he heard the roars nearby.

If he was not mistaken, Yun Qingwu had asked the Monster Race and Demon Race to surround the area when she was fighting against the Human Alliance with the G.o.dly State experts.

As for her motive…

It was none other than to capture all of them at one go!

Using herself as bait?

Fang Zhengzhi knew that Yun Qingwu was using herself as a bait to lure "Meng Tian" out. It was a perfect plan.

However, he would definitely not give Yun Qingwu a chance to succeed.

Since Yun Qingwu wanted to be a bait, Fang Zhengzhi decided to grant her wish, making use of this opportunity to capture Yun Qingwu and hence gain control of the Monster and Demon race.

That was the plot that Fang Zhengzhi had planned this time as he was certain that Yun Qingwu would come.

Swoos.h.!.+ Fang Zhengzhi moved at an extraordinary speed towards Yun Qingwu, completely ignoring Qin Xian and Mu Xing.

In fact, he had no intention to fight against the three G.o.dly State experts in the first place.

Killing one was enough.

That was because he would not be surrounded if there were only two demons and monsters left.

"Oh no, watch out, Young Empress!" Mu Xing quickly understood Fang Zhengzhi's plan when he saw Fang Zhengzhi charging towards Yun Qingwu.

Fang Zhengzhi's target had always been Yun Qingwu.

"Lin Yu, protect the Young Empress!"

"Hurry, hurry up and block Meng Tian!" Lin Yu also reacted after seeing Fang Zhengzhi and retreated without any hesitation.

However, the smoke in the surroundings became thicker. White, grey, black, the different colors of smoke surrounded Yun Qingwu and Lin Yu.

He could not see Fang Zhengzhi's moves clearly at all.

Boom! At this moment, a loud explosive sound was heard and a figure stood right in front of Lin Yu.

"Qin Xian!"

Both Mu Xing and Lin Yu were shocked because they did not expect Qin Xian to stand out and attack at this point in time.

"Young Lord, aren't I faithful enough?" Qin Xian looked very solemn as he stared at a figure in front of him, looking completely different from the person he was earlier on.

"Stop attacking 'Meng Tian', focus on protecting Young Lord until the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race arrive!" Lin Yu heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Qin Xian act properly, Yun Qingwu would be unharmed.

Five G.o.dly State experts were more than sufficient to protect Yun Qingwu.

This was what Lin Yu had thought. After his command, Mu Xing also dashed to Yun Qingwu's side and guarded beside her.

"Five?" Fang Zhengzhi's eyes narrowed. He knew that he did not have much time as he listened to the sound of the approaching troops.

Once the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race arrive, the 500 people of the Human Alliance were useless and the outcome would be him versus five G.o.dly State experts.

Furthermore, he had to defend the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race at the same time.

How stressful was that!

Although Fang Zhengzhi was arrogant, he knew that he could not eliminate the entire Monster Race and Demon Race and all the G.o.dly State experts by himself.

What should he do?

Teleport?

If he did that, he had a slight chance if nothing went wrong. However, once he teleported, he would have revealed his ident.i.ty.

Was it a suitable time for him to reveal his ident.i.ty?

Fang Zhengzhi could not make up his mind. Although he was confident to take Yun Qingwu down, what would happen if he could not?

Fang Zhengzhi had too many concerns. After all, there were too many concerns involving the Northern Mountain Village. He could not disregard the safety of the Northern Mountain Village.

"What is wrong? Are you unwilling to reveal your ident.i.ty?" Just when Fang Zhengzhi was hesitating, Yun Qingwu's voice was heard.

It was not loud but it made Fang Zhengzhi widen his eyes immediately.

Then, Fang Zhengzhi almost fell on the ground.

"Sagely Battle G.o.d Meng Tian, I did not expect that Meng Tian is actually Fang Zhengzhi, Fang Zhengzhi is actually Meng Tian!" After this sentence, Yun Qingwu turned towards another direction. "And princess Ping Yang of the Great Xia Dynasty, hmm… it had been about six months since we last met."

"What?!"

"What did Yun Qingwu call Senior Meng Tian?"

"Fang Zhengzhi?!"

"How is that possible? Isn't Fang Zhengzhi in the Northern Mountain Village? Furthermore, how could Fang Zhengzhi's powers be comparable to that of Meng Tian? Is Yun Qingwu in her right mind?"

"Ping Yang? Yun Qingwu said that is Ping Yang? But isn't Ping Yang in the Ling Yun Tower? How would Ping Yang come if Qian Yu did not appear?"

The disciples of the Human Alliance, Sages, and the sect leaders were stunned by Yun Qingwu's words and shook their heads.

After all, to them, regardless of how powerful Fang Zhengzhi was, he would not possibly fight against a G.o.dly State expert.

They had seen the battle on the Heaven Zen Mountain when Fang Zhengzhi fought against the s.p.a.ce-splitting Demon G.o.d. If not for Chi Guyan, Fang Zhengzhi would have died.

It had only been merely less than six months since the battle on the Heaven Zen Mountain.

Fang Zhengzhi managed to gain the powers of Sagely Battle G.o.d Meng Tian in six months' time and kill a G.o.dly State expert easily? How was that possible?

It was impossible!

Moreover, it was four months ago when Sagely Battle G.o.d Meng Tian unveiled his powers.

It was when he split open the Demonic Hall and kidnapped the Demon Lod in the Blood Shadow City.

Who would believe that Fang Zhengzhi did all of that?

Next, moving on to Ping Yang.

Ping Yang was the daughter of Qian Yu, this was a secret that everyone in the Holy Region knew about. Similarly, the Ling Yun Tower did not partic.i.p.ate in this battle.

Therefore, why would Ping Yang appear at this place?

Apart from the disciples of the Human Alliance, Mo Shans.h.i.+ also shook his head when he heard Yun Qingwu's sentence.

Although Mo Shans.h.i.+ did not talk, his expression made it very clear.

"Hahaha…" Fang Zhengzhi laughed though he actually felt like crying because Yun Qingwu's sentence came too sudden that he was not mentally prepared at all. Therefore, his voice trembled even though he tried his best to calm down.

"I should have guessed it earlier." Yun Qingwu ignored Fang Zhengzhi's laughter and continued, "Only Fang Zhengzhi will have such a good understanding of me. It can't be Meng Tian."

"Really? You think I have a good understanding of you?" Fang Zhengzhi clenched his fist as his eyes lit up.

"Thinking about it, your plan was perfect. Sagely Battle G.o.d Meng Tian, hmm… only you would think of such a plan. However, I don't understand how you managed to appear in both the Southern Region and the Northern Mountain Village at the same time? Based on my calculation, there should not be a second Sage in the Northern Mountain Village?" Yun Qingwu continued talking to herself and ignored Fang Zhengzhi.

"Of… what Northern Mountain Village? I don't know what you are talking about!" Just as Fang Zhengzhi was about to say 'of course not', he suddenly realized.

It was a dangerous dialogue!

He almost got caught. If he was Sagely Battle G.o.d Meng Tian, how would he know about the Northern Mountain Village?

"Sagely Battle G.o.d Meng Tian of the Great Xia Dynasty doesn't know about Northern Mountain Village?" Yun Qingwu took a few steps towards Fang Zhengzhi and stared at him.

Fang Zhengzhi started perspiring.

Yun Qingwu was so intelligent that every sentence she said was full of traps. In fact, it was a set of traps.

He could not reply to her question because both 'yes' and 'no' would get him into trouble.

Therefore, the best way was to keep silent.

"Trying to delay time? How naive!" As Fang Zhengzhi said this, a long sword flew into his hand, followed by two, three, four of them…

Nine long swords surrounded him. They emitted a silvery-white radiance like a sword dragon and made thunderous noises.
