Chapter 989: Reverse Evolution- Nine-Tailed to Eight-Tailed

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As an ‘old wretch’ who had lived for hundreds of years, Monster Emperor Baizhi was naturally far more experienced than the common folks. Furthermore, her Monster Body was the legendary Nine-Tailed White Fox that was known for its premonition. Hence, she could obviously sense the confidence in Qian Yu’s expression.

However, based on the intel, almost everyone in the Human Alliance had gone to Heaven Dao Pavilion, including the mysterious Sagely Battle God, ‘Meng Tian’. All of them should be in Heaven Dao Pavilion at this very moment.

Unless... Meng Tian didn’t go to Heaven Dao Pavilion at all.

However, if that was really the case, the Human Alliance would be in extremely deep water right now, and there was even a chance that they could all die. If that truly happened, what could Meng Tian do even if he managed to take over Heaven Zen Mountain?

Meng Tian couldn’t possibly sacrifice the Human Alliance as a diversion tactic to regain control of Heaven Zen Mountain.

That was a price that the Human Alliance couldn’t pay.

In that case, where did Qian Yu’s confidence come from?

While Baizhi was deep in her thoughts, she heard the loud cry of an animal from high up in the sky. Then, a figure descended from above.

It was a woman in a pink dress. Her gorgeous ebony hair was untied, her face was incomparably beautiful, and her aura was superior to anyone in the world.

Furthermore, there was a sword on her back. A chilling aura was flowing on the sword and there was a purple scar blinking on its blade.

It was Traceless Sword.

A sword that had slaughtered countless Demons and Monsters.

Monster Emperor Baizhi naturally knew the sword.

However, it was currently on this woman’s back. She leaped off a ferocious beast that was entirely white and landed softly next to Qian Yu.

“You’re pretty punctual.” Qian Yu smiled as she looked at the woman beside her. She seemed to be delighted.

However, one could observe from Qian Yu’s clenched fists that even she was respectful towards the woman beside her.

However, that woman obviously couldn’t read the ‘air’, or rather, she read the ‘air’ too perfectly.

“Didn’t we make a promise?” The woman replied. Her voice was as pleasant as a nightingale’s song. She sounded a little surprised, but her expression was incredibly proud and aloof.

“Erm... Did we?” Qian Yu was left a little speechless.

She had indeed made a promise with Chi Guyan. Moreover, they had already met each other once somewhere not far from Heaven Zen Mountain. Otherwise, they couldn’t have timed this so perfectly.

However, what happened to the coordination that they had talked about?

Qian Yu believed they must first overwhelm the opponent with an imposing manner in order to win a battle. For example, she was doing that by pretending to be ‘unpredictable and unreadable’.

However, all her effort was in vain because of Chi Guyan’s words.

Qian Yu felt like she had failed.

However, Baizhi didn’t think so. That was because she was already shocked to the core when she saw the face of the woman in pink when she leaped down.

She was so shocked that she didn’t even hear their conversation.

‘Chi Guyan?!’ The last thing that Baizhi expected was that Qian Yu’s backup was someone that couldn’t possibly appear right here.

‘Chi Guyan, who is supposed to be in a ‘coma’.’

‘Why is Chi Guyan here at the peak of Heaven Zen Mountain?’

‘Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi’s sword is on her back.’

‘Why is this happening?’

‘If Chi Guyan is here at the Heaven Zen Mountain, where’s Fang Zhengzhi? Did he leave Northern Mountain Village and come here as well?’

‘If that’s the case...’

‘It’d be really troublesome.’

Baizhi knew very well that once Chi Guyan and Fang Zhengzhi joined forces, even she couldn’t do anything about the two of them.

“Where’s Fang Zhengzhi? Where’s that shameless brat?” Baizhi looked towards the sky but she didn’t see anyone else.

“Are you asking about Fang Zhengzhi? That shameless thief should be at Heaven Dao Pavilion now.” Chi Guyan replied nonchalantly.

“Heaven Dao Pavilion? Fang Zhengzhi is currently at Heaven Dao Pavilion?!”

“Yeah, didn’t you know that?”

“How would I be aware of his whereabouts?”

“You’d know that he couldn’t escape the surveillance of the Monster Race and Demon Race no matter how hard he tried to hide. However, he has a new name now, which is ‘Meng Tian’!”

“Meng Tian?! Fang Zhengzhi’s new name is Meng Tian, how’s that... Wait a minute, are you telling me that Fang Zhengzhi... Is that ‘Meng Tian’?!” Baizhi’s expression changed.

The rosiness on her face had disappeared without a trace. She became as pale as the snowflakes in winter.

‘Fang Zhengzhi is Meng Tian.’

‘Meng Tian is Fang Zhengzhi.’

Chi Guyan said those words calmly as if she didn’t intend to overwhelm her with an imposing manner at all. However, she shocked Baizhi much more than Qian Yu’s pretentious act ever did.

Countless thoughts went through Baizhi’s mind.

‘If Fang Zhengzhi was disguising as Meng Tian, it meant that he had killed Lin Ji in the Southern Region and kidnapped the Demon Lord from Blood Shadow City.’

‘That’s terrifying!’

‘His strength is absolutely terrifying!’

‘Did he become so powerful in merely a couple of months?’

‘Most importantly, Yun Qingwu is currently rushing towards Heaven Dao Pavilion with the army of Monster Race and Demon Race, with the intention of destroying the Human Alliance and ‘Meng Tian’ altogether.’

‘However, Yun Qingwu doesn’t know that she is going up against someone that she couldn’t be more familiar with – Fang Zhengzhi.’

‘Will anything go south?’

‘Can they destroy the Human Alliance?’

‘No, this is a scheme, this is definitely a scheme.’

Baizhi had always thought that the Monster Race and Demon Race had the absolute advantage over the humans, and nothing would go wrong in the battle at Heaven Dao Pavilion.

However, after finding out about the true identity of ‘Meng Tian’, she suddenly started panicking because this was obviously a setup.

This was all part of Fang Zhengzhi’s meticulous scheme.

Although the Monster Race and Demon Race had the help of Gods and were basically undefeatable, it was extremely likely that something would go wrong, if this was truly all part of Fang Zhengzhi’s scheme.

At the very least, it wouldn’t be an easy victory.

Most importantly, even if they won, Yun Qingwu might be in danger.

Cold sweat fell off Baizhi’s forehead. She was actually panicking a little right now, not because of the danger that she was about to face, but rather, Yun Qingwu’s safety.

“Baizhi, you’ll die today!” Qian Yu could naturally tell that Baizhi was panicking. In that case, she wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity.

The eight moons floating above her head rotated and unleashed eight silvery sword lights towards eight of Baizhi’s vital spots.

“At your hands?” Although Baizhi was freaking out a little, her natural sense of crisis as a Nine-Tailed White Fox still calmed her down quickly.

As the eight sword lights neared her, she moved back swiftly and gently drew a line in the air with her right hand.

A black crack appeared in front of her instantly.

The eight sword lights were completely swallowed by the black crack in a split second, and their radiance disappeared without a trace.

Then, Baizhi’s left hand also moved.

She pointed forward without much strength.

Then, a black crack appeared above Qian Yu’s head, and there were eight silver sword lights descending at lightning speed.

Those were Qian Yu’s sword lights.

However, they were falling towards Qian Yu now.

Qian Yu’s expression changed.

She didn’t hold back at all. Rather, she unleashed all her power because she saw that Baizhi was distracted.

However, she didn’t expect her to react so quickly and take advantage of the spatial crack to attack her with her own sword lights.

‘This old wretch is indeed powerful!’ Qian Yu turned serious and she was about to fight off the sword lights with the small jade tower in her hand.

However, before the small jade tower even left her hand, a jade-green net had already appeared above her.

It was a net that was formed by countless rays of jade-green sword radiance.

It was Divine Constabulary’s ultimate technique – Million Sword Illustration.

Boom!

The sword lights clashed against the Million Sword Illustration and were soon shredded into tiny spots of silvery light.

“...” Qian Yu’s eyes went agape.

She knew that Chi Guyan was incredibly strong, but she didn’t expect that she had already become so powerful. Chi Guyan was even stronger than her since she had easily stopped her stronger attack with Million Sword Illustration.

Moreover, Chi Guyan didn’t even rely on her Gifted Bloodline, not to mention that the Million Sword Illustration was still flowing above her head.

Sword lights intertwined with each other, light and shadow blended together.

There was no damage done to the Million Sword Illustration.

This meant that if Qian Yu had attacked Chi Guyan with all her strength, it wouldn’t have had any effect too.

Each generation was sluttier than the previous...

“Cough cough!”

No, it should be ‘Each generation was better than the previous!’.

While these thoughts crossed Qian Yu’s mind, Chi Guyan moved again. She took a gentle step and appeared in front of Baizhi as if she had teleported.

“She’s so fast!’ Qian Yu was astonished.

Baizhi was shocked too. She had already planned her second attack after she saw Chi Guyan moving. However, Chi Guyan was already in front of her before she could unleash her attack.

She was too fast!

Even Baizhi could barely react in time.

However, she was still the Monster Emperor and once the strongest in the Holy Region. She was incredibly close to Godly State, in addition to the fact that she was a Nine-Tailed White Fox, which was known for its exceptional premonition.

Hence, despite feeling shocked, Baizhi still reacted hastily and swapped to a defensive stance.

Nine snow-white fox tails appeared behind her back instantly and two of them went straight for Chi Guyan as soon as they had appeared.

Roar! At this moment, Traceless Sword roared on Chi Guyan’s back. Then, a purple radiance landed in her hand.

Chi Guyan didn’t stop for a single moment even with Traceless Sword in her hand. She bolted towards Baizhi as if she hadn’t seen the two foxtails that were coming towards her.

Swoosh!

They went past Chi Guyan’s dress.

It was apparent that Chi Guyan took advantage of her extreme speed to get close to Baizhi before her tails could strike her instead.

‘How’s that possible?!’ Baizhi could never imagine that Chi Guyan’s speed could be so extraordinary. Furthermore, the shadow of her bloodline had yet to appear behind her back.

This was too ridiculous.

Even without exerting all her strength, she was somehow faster than Baizhi.

Baizhi had no choice but to move back as fast as she could. When she landed, her feet actually created two cracks on the ground.

Boom!

While Baizhi was moving back, one of her tails guarded her front. Its snow-white fur looked incredibly soft.

However, her soft-looking fur was as tough as solid steel.

During the previous battle atop Heaven Zen Mountain, Fang Zhengzhi tried to cut her tails with his sword. However, he couldn’t break through the defense of the Nine-Tailed White Fox’s fur at all.

After all, the strongest part of a Monster Emperor was its body, not to mention the divine beast, Nine-Tailed White Fox.

However, a sudden change happened at this moment. Chi Guyan brandished the Traceless Sword towards the fox tail at a speed that was as fast as if it were an illusion.

Crack!

Blood gushed into the air, and there was a snow-white fox tail too.

She cut off a tail with a single sword!

Monster Emperor Baizhi, the Emperor amongst Monsters, was once the strongest in the Holy Region and her physical defense was also unbeaten.

At this moment...

She was turned into an Eight-Tailed White Fox!

The crimson blood looked like flowers blooming in the air. The massive snow-white tail flew into the air before crashing into the ground with a loud bang.

“Ah!!!” Baizhi let out a heartrending scream. It was truly a heartfelt pain that left her trembling nonstop.

The pain of a Nine-Tailed White Fox losing its tail was equivalent to a person losing all his fingers.* In fact, it was hundreds, if not a thousand times more painful.

Baizhi kept rolling around on the ground, shifting between her human body and her Monster body intermittently.

Baizhi’s sharp claws struck the ground, leaving behind horrifying claw marks and sending broken rocks flying everywhere. Her blood was flowing all over the ground.

It was a terrifying scene.

Qian Yu, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded. She held the small jade tower so tightly that her fingers were turning pale, and her eyes were wide open with astonishment.

That was because according to her plan, she thought that Chi Guyan might to able to hold Baizhi off for a moment or two by relying on her Gifted Bloodline and fighting with all her might.

As long as Chi Guyan could hold Baizhi off, she would be able to concentrate on activating Ling Yun Realm. Then, she would be able to trap Baizhi temporarily.

However, look at what was happening now.

What the hell was the meaning of this?!
