Chapter 858: Breaking the Deadlock, The Final Battle

“What kind of monster could stand beside Yun Qingwu?” Fang Zhengzhi did not dare to confirm because it could be a devil instead. After all, Yun Qingwu had the identity of a young lord of the devil race.

However, that was not his concern at that moment. What he had to do was to charge out, then subdue Yun Qingwu like he did previously.

Somewhat inflexible.

But the truth was, that was the only method he could think of. Most importantly too, that was the most effective method.

“Scam!” Fang Zhengzhi roared, punching his right fist fiercely towards his direct front.

Crack! One monster standing in front of Fang Zhengzhi had its bones broken by the blow. LIke a meteor, it hit the ground.

However...

They are monsters!

Despite breaking their bones, if the monster pearl remained intact, the monster would not die. Therefore, the monster that was struck by the blow quickly stood up from the ground. Although his face was evidently pale and his body kept wobbling about, his gaze remained like those of a monster.

“So hard to deal with these monsters. Be it the body strength or the vitality, monsters were much stronger than humankind. The fighting power of a few hundred monsters are way stronger than that of a few hundred disciples of the Five Sects of the Holy Region.” Fang Zhengzhi was about to take the chance to escape, but got forced back by the two Monster Kings.

That was a fighting style that required a life to exchange for another life. Fang Zhengzhi was forced to retreat because he could not exchange his life with the Monster Kings for a so-called “big business”.

Relative to Fang Zhengzhi, Yan Xiu’s side significantly experienced lower levels of stress. The main reason was because there were lesser monsters attacking Yan Xiu.

From the perspective of the battle, the monsters adopted more “draining” tactics for Yan Xiu, surrounding him and continuously took turns to fight to tire him out. After all, the hatred to Yan Xiu was only limited to the current battle and not the bitter hatred that required involved the exchange of a life.

Despite this, Yan Xiu was still unable to escape in a short time.

This was not because of the incapability of Yan Xiu, but rather due to the fact that there were too many monsters. With the power of an individual, it was clearly not advantageous for one to fight against hundreds of monsters. Even Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi would struggle with that.

After all, if the monster race was easy to fight against, the Five Sects of the Holy Region would not have kept the monster race in the Great Swamp instead of killing them.

...

Time slowly passed.

Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu were surrounded by hundreds of monsters. Chi Guyan and Ping Yang remained at their location for recovery, while Qian Yu was fighting a fierce battle with Dao Hun.

Although the Five Sects of the Holy Region have started closing in on Nangong Hao, to defeat more than ten Sages of the Nangong Nobles was not a easy task.

This battle, at its current progression, was somewhat a stalemate.

However, the stalemate would not continue on, as there was a spot where the abilities of the two sides are relatively unequal.

This spot was none other than Mu Qingfen and Mo Shanshi against the two monsters.

Those were two Monster Kings!

They were definitely strong!

This was confirmed by how two monsters were forced back to their original forms by Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi, but it was evidently impossible for the two Monster Kings to block Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi who are each equipped with their weapons. Therefore, this stalemate would be broken very quickly.

Mo Shanshi’s black giant hammer heavily struck the head of the Monster King who was standing in front of him, causing the Monster King with a build of a hill to collapse.

Afterwards, a ray of green light escaped from the body of the Monster King. Clearly, this was the revelation of the Monster King’s true form.

However...

This delay gave Mo Shanshi some time to catch his breath.

How experienced could Mo Shanshi be?

He naturally knew what was the best course of action to take. Therefore, after grasping this opportunity, he immediately dashed to Nangong Hao, like a whirlwind, he struck Nangong Hao with his black giant hammer.

“Mo Shanshi, stop!” Nangong Tian’s voice was filled with desperation.

However, why would Mo Shanshi stop?

The move was not only not retractable, but one that was made with a full blow. One could hear the loud rumbles around the black giant hammer.

Nevertheless, neither did the hammer hit Nangong Hao, nor did the move produce the expected loud rumble. It felt like the move was a miss.

Of course, it was indeed a miss.

At that instance when Mo Shanshi’s black hammer was about to hit Nangong Hao, Nangong Hao’s body zoomed towards the sky while stepping on a white flower.

One had to admit that the posture was rather charismatic.

However, that made Mo Shanshi angry. As the Valley Master of Fu Xi Valley, he was just about to catch his prey, but it flew away in front of his eyes?

How could he endure that!

“Valley Master Mo, if I were you, I would definitely have been unable to endure this!” Fang Zhengzhi, who was standing at three-foot, witnessed the scene and made a casual comment.

Mo Shanshi’s face turned red immediately. He gritted his teeth in anger, as though he was a old duck that was about to fly.

Then...

He really flew!

Behind him, two gust of air currents quickly agglomerated, the rings of patterns glistening in the gust of air currents, causing the air currents to remain intact, as though he had two wings behind his back.

Afterwards, Mo Shanshi’s body instantaneously shot up, looking extremely nimble like a bird flying in the sky.

“Eh? That is possible?” Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes light up immediately and he felt like he was being educated by Mo Shanshi again.

After all, all along, Fang Zhengzhi’s ability to remain in the sky was based on his control of the wind and his body. This method was able to allow him to temporarily remain in the sky and make attacks, but it was no way close to the nimbleness of the two “wings” that Mo Shanshi had.

Mo Shanshi’s continuous attacks, be it the palm strength that was as strong as the mountains, or the “wings” grew out from his back, were extremely intriguing.

Nevertheless, Mo Shanshi would never explain all of these to Fang Zhengzhi. At that moment, in his eyes, he was only concerned about chasing after Nangong Hao.

“Running away? Have you sought permission from my hammer?” Mo Shanshi let out a roar and immediately shot up. A few afterimages continuously appeared in the sky and in the blink of an eye, Mo Shanshi seemed to have blocked Nangong Hao by rising above him.

Followed by that, the black giant hammer struck down.

Boom! This time round, Nangong Hao was unable to avoid the hammer. The hammer landed on his right arm, causing his body to crash into the tall Tree of God like a meteor.

Boom! the Tree of God shook, causing snowflake-shaped leaves to fall off. Even the 7-colored rainbow from the sky seemed to have trembled due to the impact.

Seeing this, excitement was displayed on Mo Shanshi’s face, his eyes glowing with radiance.

“Hahaha, Nangong Hao, regardless of what are the plans made by the Nangong Nobles, if I am here, they would definitely not succeed! Face your death!” Mo Shanshi shot out again as he finished his sentence. With a flap of his “wings”, he traveled at such a high speed that one could only see his afterimages.

“He’s so fast!”

“Sure enough, as one of the most powerful person in the Holy Region, he was extraordinary!”

“This time round, Nangong Hao must be dead!”

The disciples of the various sects watched with anticipation, waiting for Mo Shanshi to defeat Nangong Hao with his own hands.

Nangong Hao bit his lips tight and blood trickled from the side of his mouth. From his expressions, one could tell that he was in extreme agony. With one eye red and one white, his gaze was extremely chilling.

“I just need a little more time, a little more time!” Nangong Hao clenched his fist tightly, turning his gaze to a figure that collapsed on the ground below.

That was Nangong Mu!

His biological younger brother!

Nangong Mu had his eyes closed and judging from his lifeless body, he would die any moment.

“No, I cannot give up. Brother, your blood is flowing in my body!” Nangong Hao shouted as his body was once again covered with thick black armor.

Crack! With one hand, he caught the black hammer that was striking downwards at him. Meanwhile, a beam of bloody light sliced at Mo Shanshi’s throat.

“Eh? How dare you!” Mo Shanshi’s eyes narrowed, upon seeing the bloody light, he did a somersault in the air, allowing the bloody light to brush past his forehead.

A drop of perspiration trickled down Mo Shanshi’s cheeks. It was evident that the attack by Nangong Hao was barely avoided by him.

“Old man Mo, don’t be too careless. Nangong Hao’s physical and mental strength are top-notch!” Upon seeing this scene, Mu Qingfeng warned.

“Indeed...” Mo Shanshi felt it. To make a retaliation in such a precarious situation, Nangong Hao must have had extraordinary mental strength.

However...

This shocked Mo Shanshi even more. He was not shocked because of the high level of Nangong Hao’s physical and mental strength.

Rather, he was shocked by how one individual was oddly having fun while confronting Nangong Hao!

In reality, it was precisely because of the past lesson that caused Mo Shanshi to be careless and almost got into trouble.

Just as he was thinking about this, Nangong Hao moved in front of Mo Shanshi, consecutively striking three times with his Wuwei sword.

Three beams of bloody light, from top, middle and bottom, flew at Mo Shanshi.

“This is really Nangong Hao?!” Mo Shanshi was really astonished. He did not expect Nangong Hao to make his advances instead of escaping!

Nangong Hao was the only person who had such physical and mental strength in the entire Fu Yi Valley. More importantly, he was defeated by Fang Zhengzhi just not too long ago.

“Valley Master Mo, if I were you, I would definitely not give Nangong Hao any chance to retaliate!” Fang Zhengzhi’s voice could be heard again.

“...” Mo Shanshi twitched his mouth.

He initially wanted to reply, “Shut up, stop talking crap! I have lived for so many years, of course I have more experience than you, do I need you to teach me?”

However, he did not know why he was unable to speak.

Fang Zhengzhi’s words of ridicule seemed to be giving Mo Shanshi an advice: When dealing with Nangong Hao, he should not give him any chance to retaliate.

This brat!

I, Mo Shanshi, owe you a favor!

Mo Shanshi did not over-think. Keeping his eye on the three beams of bloody light, he changed his body again, this time round shrinking to half of his original size.

Woosh! With the advantage of a small body, Mo Shanshi zoomed past the three strikes. With the hammer making thunderous noises in his hand, he threw a blow at Nangong Hao once again.

This should respond to Fang Zhengzhi’s words earlier on. Don’t defend, just attack!

Or rather, use attack as a means to defend!

Boom! Nangong Hao’s body was struck again. Evidently, Mo Shanshi’s way of constantly changing his forms made it difficult for Nangong Hao to react quickly.

In the next moment, he saw Mo Shanshi dashing towards him again.

“Die die die die die...” Mo Shanshi kept muttering his words, his black giant hammer changed from a heavy, ferocious form to an extremely fast one.

It was the raindrop-like hammer shadows!

Besides that, on the top of the shadow, there was a huge design that was continuously agglomerating with golden rays flowing on the design.

Rumble...

A continuous string of rumble was heard in the air. Facing the wild attack methods by Mo Shanshi and the sudden change to a fast and lightweight hammer.

Nangong Hao could only use his remaining strength to pull through. After all, judging from physical strength, Mo Shanshi was one of the few masters whose power is at the peak of the Sage State.

“Hao’er, escape, stop draining your strength!” Nangong Tian commented again, sounding more desperate this time round.

“Escape?!” Nangong Hao kept retreating, with blood-red light rising from his body, he was about to touch the Tree of God.

He understood what Nangong Tian meant, because he had nearly depleted his Origin Energy after the fight with Fang Zhengzhi.

If he had not eaten the fruit of the Tree of God, he would have been paralysed by now.

However, despite the fact that the fruit of the Tree of God provides enough power, cultivating the Tree of God requires an extensive amount of input power. Thank goodness, Nangong Hao still had the Blood Offering Illustration in his body.

Because of that, he was able to take the risk.

Nevertheless, for the Tree of God to truly become “complete”, it requires a very long time.

Previously, he was about to accomplish it. However, after the Mo Shanshi’s series of attacks, his Origin Energy was excessively drained again.

“I can’t do this anymore. Excessive draining of strength could cause the Tree of God to wither, I would not let this happen!” Nangong Hao clenched his teeth and his gaze begun to change.
