Worlds Best Martial Artist Ch.438 [Part 2]

Underground.

Fang Pings heart thudded in his chest. His mind was going a mile a minute. Did he accidentally dig up the grave of the Jiaos ancestor or something? Or else why is the Jiao searching so hard for him?

If he was in the Jiaos position, trying to chase down a third tier warrior with a preference for tunneling, he wouldve given up already. Might as well save the time and effort for stronger opponents instead of dealing with a runaway small fry.

High level demon beasts really arent supposed to be this persistent!

Why are all the monsters Ive encountered so unreliable? Why cant they be more like the other demon beasts?

Oh my gosh stop looking for me! Why are you so hellbent on finding me? What did I ever do to you?

Fang Ping wanted to cry. Huang Jing is gone, he doesnt even know what happened to Huang Jing. If Huang Jing was here to attract the Jiaos attention, then Fang Ping might actually have a chance at running away.

Right now, it seems that Fang Ping is the only living thing left on the Hedgehog Beasts Ridge. Theres no way he could make a break for it.

Fang Ping crammed himself into a little crevice, pretending to be a rock and hoping to escape the Jiaos notice.

Suddenly, Fang Pings eyes shifted. Whats this? He saw a faint strand of red seeping from the soil, before slipping into his body. What the hell is this? Fang Pings expression changed. When the blood-colored thread flowed into his body, Fang Pings expression twisted even further!

Vitality!

This familiar vitality!

This is my own vitality! Just as realization dawned on Fang Ping, the world in front of his eyes flashed brightly the soil above his head had been lifted entirely!

Fang Ping found himself face to face with a giant golden head.

Fang Pings face instantly became white as a sheet. He smile awkwardly at the demon beast: logn time no see!

This Jiao is really nuts!

It actually kept his vitality!

Never in a million years would Fang Ping ever think that the Jiao was willing to go as far as keeping a piece of Fang Pings vitality around.

The Jiaos large eyes stared Fang Ping down, a slight mocking expression simmered in the depths of those pupils.

Fang Ping swallowed dryly, and climbed up from the dirt: King Jiao, are you hungry? Did you eat a meal already?

The Jiao didnt bother to reply. It isnt in the mood to eat right now.

In the next moment, Fang Ping floated upwards and was quickly deposited in front of the dead demon beast.

The Jiao looked at the dead demon beast, and then looked towards Fang Ping. Fang Ping was very confused. Are you giving me a gift my liege? Fang Ping asked carefully.

Just as the words left his mouth, the Jiaos giant golden claws slammed down!

Fang Ping sunk into the ground, his face was flushed from embarrassment. You suddenly dragged me here, how in the world am I supposed to know what you want to do?

So the Jiao is not giving me a gift?

The Jiao slapped at Fang Pings direction with a claw. A broken hedgehog quill in front of Fang Ping levitated. Fang Ping recognized it to be from the hedgehog beast from before.

Is the Jiao trying to show him something?

The Jiao realized that Fang Ping still didnt understand. It sliced the quill with a wave of its claw, and then turned its gaze to the distance, deep in thought. Suddenly, the image of a shortsword appeared midair, formed from spiritual energy. A blurry human figure appeared along with the short sword.

Fang Ping looked at the image for a bit. Is the Jiao trying to play pictionary?

Someone used the shortsword to kill the hedgehog beast, and you want the shortsword?

Fang Ping actually already guessed the human figure to be Huang Jing, even though the Jiao was only able to manifest a faint image.

When Fang Ping realized that the Jiao was staring at him, Fang Ping began to stutter out of nervousness. This I ah I know who this person is, but Im not very well acquainted with him.

What? If I cant find him youre going to eat me? Please dont

Fang Ping thought very deeply. Should he bring the Jiao to find Huang Jing?

But what doe the Jiao want to do?

Does it want to eat Huang Jing?

Wait no. The Jiao wanted the shortsword. The divine weapon?

The Jiao wanted a divine weapon?

Seeing the Jiao use its claws to gesture at its own body in slashing motions, Fang Ping became even more confused. My King, you want to use the short sword to stab yourself?

Um how about I just use a regular knife and

Fang Ping shut his mouth immediately upon seeing that the Jiao was on the verge of exploding from anger. Although his words stopped, Fang Pings mind didnt. Thoughts swirled in his head.

What does the Jiao want to do?

Let Huang Jing stab it with the short sword?

Did the Jiao get tired of living?

Even though Fang Ping couldnt understand, he still smiled as if he did. You dont have to be like that my liege. How about this: Ill go find the person, and when I do, Ill bring the shortsword back, and then stab you a couple of times?

Its not hard to lead the Jiao to Huang Jing.

But what if the Jiao decided to kill Huang Jing?

Plus, no one even knows the whats going on with Huang Jing right now.

Right. The headmaster is currently being chased by demon beasts. Should Fang Pinglead the Jiao is that direction.

Fang Ping didnt even get to finish thinking about it before the Jiao became impatient and stomped on the ground in annoyance.

In the next moment, Fang Ping levitated off the ground the Jiao picked him up is now flying after the direction that Huang Jing had escaped to.

Does the Jiao want to go find the Headmaster? What does it want to do?

Fang Ping looked down at the demon beast corpses that were slowly disappearing from view. He was feeling a little bummed. Why didnt the Jiao let Fang Ping at least take some heartcore and the braincore!

The Jiao is being so wasteful!

Perhaps Fang Pings gaze was a bit too heated, but the Jiao growled softly, its tone full of warning.

Fang Ping half-guessed at what the Jiao was trying to convey. I cant do anything to the demon beast corpses? King Jiao, youre the one that killed them right? Why arent you eating them?

You cant eat it? You have to leave them there?

Fang Ping guessed time and time again. Its only when the Jiao had already flown Fang Ping for quite a distance that Fang Ping realizedhe wasnt wearing any clothes!

But at this hour, its already dark outside, no one should be able to see Fang Ping right?

The Jiao wanted Huang Jing to use the shortsword on it. Its also leaving the corpses of all those demon beasts there. All the demon beasts of the Hedgehogs Ridge had disappeared could it be that they were all killed in order to silence them?

This Jiao, could it be that it wanted Old Huang to take the blame?

Fang Ping thought that the way that the Jiao is acting is a bit familiar. Perhaps theres some evidence on the dead demon beasts body..evidence that points to Old Huang, so the Jiao didnt do anything to the dead bodies.the long quill from beforethe faint traces of the saintly weapon, could it be that theres some leftover traces from the saintly weapon on those corpses?

The Jiao and the Hedgehog Beast were on the same side, and then the Jiao turned on the Hedgehog Beast and killed it. And now the Jiao wants to falsely place the blame on Old Huang.

But the Jiao is worried that someone or another demon beast will see through its ruse, so the Jiao wants Old Huang to injure it, and leave wounds that has traces from the saintly weapon?

But who or what does the Jiao want to gain the trust of?

Demon Beasts congregate into groups?

Wait no. The main thing is. this Jiao, its got some impressive tricks up its sleeve it even knows how to use other people as scapegoats.

Fang Ping was deep in thought. But what happened next made him lose it completely.

A beam of bright, gold light shone directly on to him!

Under the dark of night, Fang Pings form was illuminated in gold, the sight was especially eye-catchingbut the main problem is Fang Ping was completely naked!

Fang Ping is absolutely certain, that anyone and everyone within a miles radius can see him.

Im gonna slaughter you! Fang Ping screamed internally. This Jiao has finally gone crazy. It thought of such a crude way to attract Huang Jing here.

The Jiao is just crushing Fang Pings dignity today!

Fang Ping was angry enough to spit blood. A smear of gold light rose from his head, obscuring his face. The same gold light appeared on his lower body, covering up his member.

Ill remember this! Just you wait! Ill get you one day!

Fang Ping felt faint from all the anger. Meanwhile, a flash of curiosity glimmered in the Jiaos eyes. So this is the indestructible body?

Disregarding the angry human, the Jiao carried Fang Ping about. The golden Fang Ping bobbed in the night like a bizarre lamp.

It turns out that the Jiaos little scheme actually worked.

From afar, Huang Jing spotted the bright, golden light from the forest where he was hiding. Many expressions flickered rapidly across Huang Jings face.

Fang Pings been caught! Huang Jing didnt even think about it, but now the Jiaos done it the Jiao was actually smart enough to use a hostage to threaten him!

After running away, Huang Jing didnt go back to the City of Hope. Fang Ping and Qin Feng Qing were both still at the Hedgehogs Ridge. The two most powerful demon beasts at the Hedgehog Beasts ridge have both died, so Huang Jing was waiting for the Jiao to leave before going out to find Fang Pign and Qin Feng Qing.

But to Huang Jings surprise, the Jiao not only refused to leave it actually started searching for him.

What exactly does this Jiao want?

Huang Jings expression darkend. Should he show himself?

Hes definitely too weak to be the Jiaos opponent. Especially now, when the Jiao has consumed an entire eighth tier demon beast. The Jiao right now is most likely even more powerful than it had been before.

Itll be dangerous once he shows himself.

But Fang Ping has been caught. If Huang Jing doesnt come out of hiding and the Jiao decides to kill Fang Ping

Huang Jings features twisted in agitation, reflecting his inner turmoil. A real warrior will never back down in this situation!

If word gets out that Fang Ping was killed by the Jiao because of him, no one would think that hes in the wrong. Hes only a seventh tier, challenging the Jiao is a gamble at best, and even if he gives himself up to the Jiao, theres no guarantee that the Jiao will really let Fang Ping go. Everyone will understand if Huang Jing decides to give up in this kind of situation.

But can he really watch Fang Ping get killed?

Just as Huang Jing struggled to hide his presence, ducking down while he wrangled with the choice, Fang Ping suddenly shouted from mid air: If youre here, just leave the sword, you dont have to come out!

Huang Jings expression changed to one of confusion. The sword?

The Jiao was chasing him because of the divine weapon?

What are the chances of coming out unscathed if they do agree to the bargain and use the divine weapon to trade for Fang Pings life?this

If Fang Ping can survive so long as they trade with the sword, Wu Kui Shan might not actually be against it. Especially since theres hope of Fang Ping breaking into the ninth tier.

But, what if the Jiao decides to kill Fang Ping after all, and both the person and the sword are gone?

Haung Jing suddenly sighed. Screw it. At this point, all they can do is to make a gamble.

Its too late, theres no way to weasel out of this one. If Fang Ping is really killed, then itll be hard to break the news to Li Chang Sheng and Lu Feng You.

A short sword materialized in Huang Jings hand.

A flicker of worry appeared in Huang Jings eyes, he left the shortsword before making his escape quickly.

The sword is done for, it would be bad if Huang Jing was also captured.

Once Huang Jing has put some considerable distance between where he was before, he hid himself quickly. The left-behind sword flashed with a faint gold glow.

From above, a streak of gold flashed by, falling quickly to the ground. Fang Ping, upon landing on the ground, immediately began to run towards the golden light of the sword. He cant let the Jiao seize the sword after all, didnt it only want Fang Ping to use the sword to make some wounds on its hide?

This demon beast wouldnt go back on its words, and take the sword away right?

But the Jiao didnt make any sudden moves. It landed on the ground but didnt move, allowing Fang Ping to take the short sword.

The Jiaos large eyes watched the short sword as it carefully felt the traces of power emanating from the short sword.

Its the dumb trees scent!

A really strong and concentrated scent!

The Jiao appears to have come to a realization. This swordbelongs to the person that broke into the City of the Demon Forest!

Of course!
