Could he win?
That was Mo Shanshi’s question.
However, Yan Yin, who was wrapped around in the golden light, soon got the answer to this question.
At that instant when the golden light wrapped around him, Yan Yin felt a terrifyingly strong force.
That feeling was as though as an ocean surrounded him, an vast ocean raging with turbulent waves.
Most importantly, he could clearly see his injuries heal at the speed of lightning.
“This brat… is really powerful!” In the past, Yan Yin’s impression of Fang Zhengzhi was that he was a shameless and arrogant person. Now, Yan Yin was genuinely impressed by him.
Impressed beyond words.
Nevertheless, Fang Zhengzhi did not have the time to notice Yan Yin’s change in expression and thoughts. He struck his sword without any hint of panic or fear.
It was confidence, confidence that originated from his own capabilities. It was like how as the owner of a gold mine, you are not afraid of ordering a plate of dumplings.
Boom! The sword light and Monster Emperor Baizhi’s claw collided, producing a ear-deafening sharp metal sound.
Afterwards, a violent air wave exploded.
The air wave tumbled continuously, causing the fur on Monster Emperor Baizhi’s head to stick to he back. Her sharp fox ears kept moving as the eye-blinding lightning shone.
Fang Zhengzhi’s blue robe also made flapping noises as it was blown by the wind. His hair-tie was blown off, leaving his long hair flying in the air.
However, this did not affect Fang Zhengzhi’s next move.
He did not choose to continue defending on the spot. Instead, tightening his grip on the Traceless Sword, he ran towards Monster Emperor Baizhi for an attack.
“This brat really survived the attack of Monster Emperor Baizhi!” Mo Shanshi’s eyes were about to pop out as he watched Fang Zhengzhi approach Monster Emperor Baizhi.
“No, not only did he survive, he had obtained the capabilities to fight one on one with Monster Emperor Baizhi!” Mu Qingfeng was equally stunned.
Just not too long ago, Fang Zhengzhi could not even defend a single attack. Yet after a few months, he had shockingly discovered that Fang Zhengzhi had managed to gain so much power.
Luck?
Mu Qingfeng wanted to credit everything to luck. However, thinking of Fang Zhengzhi’s encounters in the past few months, he could not bring himself to link his encounters to luck.
After he entered the Holy Region, he had suffered severe injuries like Yan Xiu.
Afterwards, he was caught in the Yin Yang Hall and had to exchange his life for Yan Xiu’s survival. Then, he was thrown into the Middle Stream Cauldron of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
How could this be luck?
Furthermore, although Mu Qingfeng was not entirely clear about what happened in the Ling Yun Tower, he believed that Fang Zhengzhi must have had something to do with the sudden death of Qian Ye and the incumbency of Qian Yu as the new tower master of the Ling Yun Tower.
Most importantly, earlier on…
Fang Zhengzhi clearly was not able to match up to Monster Emperor Baizhi. However, after several miss and hits, he “revived” and his powers increased tremendously.
Could all this be luck?
No, this was opportunity!
To be fair, the same opportunity had appeared for Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi. However, the only person who was able to catch it was Fang Zhengzhi.
It was his bravery and aggressiveness that gave him the confidence to try.
Yet in Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi’s heart, they had already lost the confidence to try and only knew how to stick to the rules.
Mu Qingfeng looked at Fang Zhengzhi and the sword light that was emitted from his traceless sword and sighed to himself, perhaps, he was really old…
…
The sword light crossed in the sky.
Fang Zhengzhi’s strikes were not too impressive, but every strike was extremely sharp such that even Monster Emperor was not able to block the strikes with her body.
“This brat seemed to have… changed!” After continuously blocking three strikes from Fang Zhengzhi, this thought popped up in Monster Emperor Baizhi’s mind.
This was not because of the sudden sharp moves of Fang Zhengzhi. Rather, it was because of the tremendous change in the vibes that Fang Zhengzhi gave off when he attacked.
In the past, Fang Zhengzhi’s strikes were urgent and ruthless, as though he wanted to end the battle in the fastest time possible.
Yet now, his strikes were no longer urgent and ruthless. In fact, they were sharp and stable like ripples of waves that flowed continuously.
This was a change in his aura. Similarly, it represented a change in his state of mind.
Urgent and ruthless represented Fang Zhengzhi’s state of mind when he wanted to take advantage of opportunities to find the weakness spot and attack it.
Yet now, he no longer took advantage of such opportunities. This proved that Fang Zhengzhi;s state of mind had become extremely confident. Only such confidence could allow Fang Zhengzhi to take on a battle with Monster Emperor Baizhi.
Boom! The sword light and claw collided once again. Then, the air wave violently twirled in the sky, forming a gigantic tornado.
This scene stunned the sages and the monster kings. Fang Zhengzhi had made too many strikes.
More than five strikes!
Five strikes and had had yet to retreat at all. In fact, he continued closing in and attacked Monster Emperor Baizhi continuously as though he had no intention of escaping.
Most importantly, Monster Emperor Baizhi did not counterattack.
“Fang Zhengzhi, he… he could break a tie with Monster Emperor Baizhi alone?”
“Terrifying! How could this happen?”
“She is the Monster Emperor, the most powerful in the Holy Region! Whereas Fang Zhengzhi is only eighteen years old! How could an eighteen year-old tie with Monster Emperor Baizhi?”
The sages were initially proud of themselves for having reached the Sage State. Yet, after seeing Fang Zhengzhi’s battle with Monster Emperor Baizhi, they lost their pride.
It was a blow to their confidence!
It was as though you had worked hard for your entire life for something which another person managed to accomplish in one or two years’ time. They definitely felt indignant and salty over that.
“Lady Empress!”
Roar!
Roar!
The monster kings were equally shocked. After all, in their heart, Monster Emperor Baizhi was like God who was a superior figure that would definitely not lose in a battle.
Yet now, Monster Emperor Baizhi was hindered by an eighteen year-old human.
How could they not be shocked?
How could they not be afraid?
“Perhaps this brat could really turn the tides!” Mo Shanshi’s face was red. After a few rounds with Monster Emperor Baizhi, he knew about Monster Emperor Baizhi’s capabilities.
If he was able to continuously make five strikes with the condition that Monster Emperor Baizhi had turned into a monster, Fang Zhengzhi definitely had the capability to battle one on one with Monster Emperor Baizhi.
Even though he may lose in the end, it was enough.
…
“Fang Zhengzhi, do you really think you can fight with me?!” Monster Emperor Baizhi roared with a cold look in her dark green eyes.
“Why not?” Fang Zhengzhi responded with another question. Meanwhile, he zoomed past the air waves and leaped to the top of Monster Emperor Baizhi’s head.
He struck her with his sword.
The evil purple light accumulated. Like a crescent moon, it struck the neck of Monster Emperor Baizhi with a sharp howl.
“Very good, I shall see how capable you are!” Monster Emperor Baizhi was really infuriated. Instead of using her claws to block the attack, she sprung forward.
While she made the spring, she darted the strike made by Fang Zhengzhi. Meanwhile, her gigantic frame shrunk instantaneously but the nine fox tails grew longer.
It was a strange scene.
The shrinking of her body meant that the thickness of her fur was reduced. Yet, judging from the speed, it looked as though it grew faster.
This change was very effective.
After Monster Emperor Baizhi had darted the attack, her nine fox tails began whipping towards Fang Zhengzhi in all directions.
Monster Emperor Baizhi finally began her counterattack.
Fang Zhengzhi’s expression changed. He clearly saw the change in Monster Emperor Baizhi’s and felt the increase in her momentum.
He had no time to think too much as the nine fox tails had landed in front of his face.
Dart!
Dart, dart, and dart again…
Fang Zhengzhi’s body kept twisting and turning in the sky. He made ridiculous movements such as twisting his back, lifting his pelvis, or making a star shape with his body.
With a Herculean effort, he finally managed to dart the whips of the nine fox tails.
However, he did not have much time to rest because Monster Emperor Baizhi’s fox tails whipped towards him again.
“…” Fang Zhengzhi seemed to understand why Monster Emperor Baizhi’s was holding back earlier on. With a huge body frame, she could not possibly avoid his sword radiance and only could passively wait to be attacked.
However, now that she had shrunk in body size, the situation seemed to be reversed.
Monster Emperor Baizhi had sacrificed the defense of her body and traded that with speed and agility. On top of that, she increased the length of her nine fox tails in order to escape from her predicament.
Fang Zhengzhi, on the other hand…
Was successfully trapped!
Historical books have recorded that a real powerful monster had the ability to change its form. It could take the form of a human to seduce other humans, or take the form of a gigantic monster to be able to soar in the skies and control the lightning, thunder and wind, as well as hiding amongst the beasts to avoid being attacked and escape from troubles.
Fang Zhengzhi always thought it was just an illusory legend. However, he realized that all legends had its origins after he fought with Monster Emperor Baizhi.
What should he do?
He preferred to be at the upper position with respect to a female and was not very happy with the fact that he was suppressed.
Therefore, he decided to flip around.
However, he had to ponder over how he should do this flip. After all, he was not as powerful as Monster Emperor Baizhi and was not as fast and agile as her. He was only making use of his endless origin energy, albeit it had an insignificant effect.
“Auntie Qian, in times of crisis like this, how could you possibly just sit back and watch?” Fang Zhengzhi shouted as he tried his best to avoid the fox tail.
“If you need help, say it. Why use those righteous words which I cannot understand.” Qian Yu waved her hand at Fang Zhengzhi and was clearly unwilling to help.
“Auntie, please save me!”
“If you had say this earlier, you would not need to suffer.” Qian Yu smiled while she tightened her grip on the two swords in her hands. Without any delay, she dashed towards Monster Emperor Baizhi.
Seeing this scene, Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi glanced at each other and gave a wry smile.
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they really could not imagine that Tower Master Qian Yu had such a temper.
Of course, Qian Yu should not be blamed for that.
After all, nobody would feel great to have Fang Zhengzhi as a shameless “nephew”,
“Attack!” Mu Qingfeng said while clenching his teeth.
“How about Yun Qingwu?” Mo Shanshi asked hesitantly as he took at glance at Yun Qingwu who was standing in the 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation and surrounded by the ten elders of the demon race.
“If we could defeat Monster Emperor Baizhi, the plans of the monster race and the demon race would not succeed.” Mu Qingfeng frowned for a moment.
“You are right!” Mo Shanshi nodded his head in approval.
“Attack!”
“Attack!”
“…”
Although both Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi had suffered severe injuries, with the addition of the two and Qian Yu, the battle situation had a huge change.
Although the shrinking of body size helped to increase Monster Emperor Baizhi’s speed and agility, this reduced her defence capabilities.
In the situation of a joint attack, her speed and agility was somewhat constrained. This was precisely why Monster Emperor Baizhi had chosen to increase her body frame when she was battling against four.
To find opportunities while defending.
However, Monster Emperor Baizhi clearly could not continue her tactics like before. The reason was that Fang Zhengzhi alone forced her to defend with her bigger body frame.
Therefore, how could she find a chance to counterattack?
“We have a chance, Monster Emperor Baizhi looks like she cannot hold on any longer!”
“That’s right, Fang Zhengzhi alone could defend against Monster Emperor Baizhi, with the addition of Pavilion Master Mu, Valley Master Mo and Tower Master Qian, Monster Emperor Baizhi can never win!”
“They can carry out their counterattack. If they can successfully defeat Monster Emperor Baizhi, we will not need to worry about the Monster Kings!”
After witnessing the scene, the sages were hopeful again. They fought with all their might and stopped retreating.
After all, nobody wanted to see the fall of humankind.
This was a change in the state of mind. From a failure to winning, it gave everyone intense confidence as though they had resurrected.
“Fang Zhengzhi?!” Dao Xin glanced over at Fang Zhengzhi who was battling with Monster Emperor Baizhi and clenched his fist. “I can’t believe how he turned the tides of this battle!”
