Gate of God

Panda Novel

Evidently, Nangong Mu was jolted awake.

However, surprisingly, Nangong Mu did not shout things like “you are lying?!” at the top of his lungs. Instead, he looked at Fang Zhengzhi calmly with a bloody look.

He did not look angry nor desperate. Instead, he looked like he was freed from the soul.

“Now, we can fight it out again without any restraints!” Nangong Mu was very calm, as though nothing had happened.

“Just for a fruit of the Godly Realm?” asked Fang Zhengzhi.

“Besides that, I am also fighting for my mission, my mission as the descendant of Emperor Yan,” said Nangong Mu with an affirmed look.

“Yes.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.

He did not probe further as Nangong Mu’s attitude had told him that Nangong Mu had already made up his mind and would not change his mind.

After all, he was Nangong Mu.

If this was forced by other people, he could be swayed. However, nothing could be changed once Nangong Mu made up his mind.

“I am going to attack,” said Nangong Mu again.

“Come.” Fang Zhengzhi placed both of his swords in front of his chest and was ready to fight.

There was no need to discuss anything anymore.

Of course, Fang Zhengzhi did not want to become enemies with Nangong Mu as he really did not have a lot of friends in this world.

Nangong Mu was one of them.

It only required one fruit.

If one fruit was able to save Nangong Mu, he was really willing to that as the fruit was not absorbed in his body and did not help him.

However, could he spit out the fruit that he had already ingested?

Fang Zhengzhi wanted to do that but he really was unable to do it. Moreover, the fruit was not in his stomach but in his Small Dimension.

That meant that the fruit was actually in his heart.

Digging a hole in his heart?

Then, the Small Dimension would break apart and he would have to return to The Vast World to make up for it?

That was too heavy a price to pay.

Moreover, Fang Zhengzhi did not know if Nangong Mu would really return to who he was in the past even after he paid such a heavy price.

Nangong Mu not only wanted the fruit of the Realm of God but also wanted to open the Gate of God and become the leader of the world.

Swoosh! At this moment, two beams of sword radiance, one green and one blue, had struck at Fang Zhengzhi.

When Nangong Mu revealed his true identity, he had taken out the green and blue swords, one of which was long and the other was short.

Fang Zhengzhi could recognize the two swords.

In fact, he had imitated Nangong Mu’s sword tactic by using two swords, taking the strike of a “cross” for instance.

Swoosh! As Fang Zhengzhi dodged the two beams of sword radiance, he stabbed his swords at Nangong Mu.

Boom!

Beams of lightning landed from the sky into the gray haze. The gray haze was like a thunder cloud with radiance flowing in them.

In the region outside of the haze, Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi and the disciples of the Human Alliance watched at the gray haze extreme nervously. The gray haze was an area that was shrouded by the breath of death and there were violent motions in it.

With their skill levels, they were unable to enter at all.

They could only watch from the outside.

“The battle is continuing if there’s motion!”

“Yes, we still have hope!”

“Fang Zhengzhi must win!”

The disciples of the Human Alliance had never so desperately hoped for Fang Zhengzhi to win before as, after all, they did not have a good impression of Fang Zhengzhi in the past.

“After he is shrouded by Sir Chou Qi’s breath of death, will Fang Zhengzhi still have a chance to survive?”

“No way!”

“He is dead meat!”

The attitudes of the Monster Race and Demon Race and the disciples of the Human Alliance were completely different. That was because the Monster Race and Demon Race were very confident that there should not be any more movements after Fang Zhengzhi had been surrounded by the breath of death.

However, at this moment, blood rain fell from the sky.

They were radiance that was as red as blood and crystal clear blood drops were mixed in the radiance.

“Ah!” A shriek was heard as the blood rain fell.

This caused the Human Alliance and the Monster Race and Demon Race to turn towards another direction.

There was a figure standing at that spot.

He was slim but he gave off a uniquely cold and arrogant aura. Meanwhile, he was holding a Silver Blood Fan that had blood dripping down it.

“It’s Yan Xiu!”

“Those blood are?”

“It’s… it’s Ling Ning’s Blood! The blood of Monster King Ling Ning!”

The Human Alliance and the Monster Race and Demon Race then saw a severely injured woman lying beside Yan Xiu.

Ling Ning’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

However, instead of being purely pale, it had turned purple after being injured by a powerful force.

Moreover…

There was a cut that was deep to the bones on Ling Ning’s body and blood spurted out from the cut and fell on the ground.

“Yan Xiu defeated Ling Ning!”

“How powerful is Yan Xiu, he is only eighteen years old and Ling Ning is one of the most powerful monster kings who is almost as powerful as Monster Emperor Baizhi!”

“So powerful!”

The disciples of the Human Alliance were astonished.

The Monster Race and Demon Race were stunned as they never expected Yan Xiu to defeat Ling Ning within such a short span of time.

“I used five strikes in total. That is slower than I expected, I am still not powerful enough!” Yan Xiu shook his head and kept the Silver Blood Fan in his hand behind his back.

Swoosh! Ling Ning’s head flew in the sky.

There were silver threads connecting the head and the Silver Blood Fan. They were extremely thin and were almost unnoticeable with the naked eye.

Plop! Ling Ning’s body fell to the ground and a golden monster pearl rolled on the ground to Yan Xiu’s feet.

Bam! Yan Xiu raised his feet and crushed the monster pearl.

“…”

“…”

The eyes of the Monster Race and Demon Race became red and the disciples of the Human Alliance stared at this scene speechlessly.

As for Ping Yang who was nearby…

She pouted at this scene.

“What a waste, you should have given it to me. Uncle Yan, why aren’t you looking after your grandson, do you know that he is being wasteful? Being wasteful is something that is shameful!” Ping Yang was extremely pissed.

“It’s alright, the Yan family has a lot of silver. We are not afraid of being wasteful.” Yan Qianli took a glance at Yan Xiu and shook his head lovingly.

“…” Ping Yang opened her mouth but was unable to say anything.

Monster pearl?!

A monster pearl of the Monster King?

They could buy it with silver?

She really did not know if Prince Yan was really stupid or acting stupid.

Ping Yang decided on the latter as, after all, one would be really silly if one said that Prince Yan was silly.

“Watch out, Princess!” Yan Qianli did not even bother about calling Ping Yang with respectful terms like “Your Highness” as after all, it was too stressful to fight against Lin Yu.

Boom! Ping Yang’s body was flung back.

An icy blue hole was formed at the original position she was standing at and the stones were covered by ice.

“Whew…” Ping Yang heaved a sigh of relief with a shocked expression. “I almost became an ice statue, I wonder if I can still survive if I really became one?”

“Live?” Lin Yu could not hold in his words after hearing Ping Yang’s question, “After being frozen by my ice crystals, you have at most ten seconds before your entire body becomes frozen and fuses with the ice crystals. You will never be able to be separated from the ice crystals!”

“So powerful?” Ping Yang was evidently terrified.

However, Lin Yu did not reply to Ping Yang as, after all, he only spoke because he felt like it. Now that Ling Ning had died, he knew that it was only a matter of time before Yan Xiu would come and attack him.

Three versus one!

Lin Yu definitely would not have an absolute advantage anymore.

Ping Yang smiled as she saw Lin Yu keeping quiet and turned to Yan Xiu.

“Hey, Yan Xiu, if you are done, come over and help. Three versus one, we definitely can kill him!” Ping Yang was confident.

“Hold on for a while more.”

However, his reply was not what Ping Yang had expected.

Yah Xiu did not come over.

That was because after killing Ling Ning, Yan Xiu dashed towards the gray haze of death without hesitation.

“…” Ping Yang was speechless.

“Princess, we have to fight on our own!” Yan Qianli could understand how Ping Yang felt but he knew that Yan Xiu would make such a choice.

That was because he knew who his grandson prioritized.

It had been almost two years.

After the Court Examinations of the Great Xia empire ended, Yan Xiu returned to Western Liang and stayed there for nearly two years’ time. He only stepped out of the palace for a few times.

Within that period of time, Yan Qianli saw his grandson slim down and heard him repeatedly calling out a name.

Fang Zhengzhi.

It was an ordinary name.

However, Yan Xiu said it for nearly two years and he would always stare blankly out of the windows at a small village in the Northern Mountain Village.

Until…

Fang Zhengzhi’s name was heard in the Great Xia Dynasty again.

It happened in the middle of the night.

Yan Qianli could still remember it was near midnight when Yan Xiu pushes open the door of his room and fell to his knees.

“Grandfather, I want to go to the Northern Mountain Village!”

“Northern Mountain Village?”

“Yes, right now. I also have to borrow the Yan Cloud Cavalry from you, please agree, grandfather!”

“Xiu’er, you had never pleaded with me for the entire eighteen years of your life, even when your mother passed away when you were eight. Why are you pleading with me now?”

“I can take revenge for mom by myself. However, what I am about to do may cause His Majesty to punish the Yan family of Western Liang, therefore, I…”

“It’s for Fang Zhengzhi?”

“Yes!”

“Who exactly is he?”

“He is my friend.”

“Friend? How close a friend?”

“A friend whom I am willing to sacrifice my life for!”

“Hahaha… Xiu’er, you are too naive. You need to know that some things cannot be trusted. You may be able to sacrifice your life for him but he may not be willing to sacrifice his life for you.”

“No, grandfather you are wrong, I believe that he will be willing to sacrifice his life for me!”

“You… really think so?”

“Yes, I firmly believe that!”

“Alright, although I don’t believe Fang Zhengzhi is willing to sacrifice his life for you, I will help you this time. After all, this is the first time my grandson pleaded with me. This is the military pass for the Yan Cloud Cavalry, it has always been with me since I took control of the troops. Today, I will pass this to you.”

“Pass it to me?”

“Yes, from today onwards, you are the sole successor of the Yan family of Western Liang and your actions represent the Yan family. I, Yan Qianli, dare to say that with this military pass, apart from the Holy Region, you can go anywhere in this world including the Flame Capital City!”

“Grandfather…”

“Go, go and do whatever you wish!”

“Roger!”

“…”

Yan Qianli could still remember Yan Xiu’s expression and the light in his eyes. It felt as though he had become another person.

Of course, although Yan Qianli had handed the Yan Cloud Cavalry to Yan Xiu, he did not believe what Yan Xiu said.

Friends who were willing to die for each other?

Although Yan Qianli had lived for a very long time, he was not confident to say that he had met a friend like that.

Until…

Fang Zhengzhi was willing to exchange his life to save Yan Xiu in the Yin Yang Hall and was eventually sent to the Nine Pinnacles Mountain and thrown into the Middle Stream Cauldron.

Till then, Yan Qianli realized that what Yan Xiu said was real.

“Xiu’er, go, fight with Fang Zhengzhi and defeat ‘Chou Qi’, grandfather will be proud of you!” Yan Qianli’s eyes glowed red and he looked relieved.

It was a relief that he felt because his grandson had grown up.

Buzz!

At a distance away, Yan Xiu did not know what went through Yan Qianli’s mind. He stared at the gray haze ahead of him and moved extremely quickly with his eyes bloodshot. His body was surrounded by a blood-red radiance as he plunged into the gray haze of death.
