Chapter 993: You Will Not Die If You Did Not Pretend To Die

It was humongous!

If the Godly State expert was described to a giant black rock when he descended, the object that landed could definitely be called a hill.

A hill that was at least a few hundred feet in height.

Could it be that a hill was floating in the Gate of God of the Monster Realm and was coincidentally bumped out by Chi Guyan and Qian Yu?

However, why were there hills in the Gate of God?

Just as Monster Emperor Baizhi was pondering over this, the black hill landed directly on the altar in the center of the peak of the Heaven Zen Mountain.

Boom! The entire Heaven Zen Mountain shook and countless stones cracked into small pieces, even the white altar cracked from the center.

Crack! The white altar cracked and traces of black could be seen. However, these traces of black was quickly hidden as the hill pressed on it.

“So... so huge!” The Monster Kings stared at the black hill in shock as there were way too many cracks on it.

In fact, there were a few broken black chains hanging from the hill.

The black chains were forced out?!

This was the first time the Monster Kings had seen the “chains”. Although they had seen the intertwining black chains outside the galaxy before when the Gate of God opened, this was the first time they are seeing them up close.

What exactly was it?

Apart from Monster Emperor Baizhi, the Monster Kings, Chi Guyan and Qian Yu all stopped moving.

Qian Yu looked extremely tired and she had evidently consumed a large amount of energy trying to control the Ling Yun realm earlier on. How would she be willing to accept the disruption caused by the sudden appearance of the black hill?

She was extremely unwilling to accept it!

Why did a black hill suddenly appear?

Qian Yu could not understand why.

As compared to her unwillingness to accept the fact, Chi Guyan, on the other hand, looked heavy-hearted.

Yes, she looked heavy-hearted.

Since the black hill landed, Chi Guyan had her eyes glued on it. She inspected every single detail of the black hill, from its location to every single mark on it to the broken black chains.

Chi Guyan inspected it extremely carefully.

Until...

A crack was formed on the black hill, producing a soft crack sound. At the same time, the black chains on it dropped onto the ground with a thud.

“It cracked?!”

“It really cracked open?”

“What is inside?!”

All the Monster Kings and the Monster troops, as well as the disciples of the Ling Yun Tower stared at the crack on the black hill with their eyes wide open.

Crack!

Crack!

“...”

Along with cracking sounds, the cracks grew bigger and gradually covered the entire hill like a spiderweb.

“Auntie, leave now!” At this moment, Chi Guyan’s expression changed from a heavy-hearted expression to a slightly stunned one.

This expression had never appeared on Chi Guyan before but this time, Chi Guyan seemed to have experienced a real sense of danger.

“Leave?!” Qian Yu looked very shocked. She was not shocked because of the black hill that cracked open in front of her but because of what Chi Guyan said.

Chi Guyan actually asked her to leave?

How surprising was that? One had to note that Chi Guyan had said “there are only two of them?” when the two Godly State experts of the Monster Race appeared.

Chi Guyan did not even think highly of the two Godly State experts.

However, once she saw the black hill land, she asked Qian Yu to leave without any hesitation before it even cracked open fully?

What exactly was inside the hill?!

...

In the black palace of the Heaven Dao Pavilion...

Mountains were inverted amongst the mist and clouds. The waterfall flowed from the peak of the inverted mountain in an upwards direction, connecting the sky and the earth.

It was a beautiful scenery.

However, the atmosphere was extremely nerve-wracking.

The Human Alliance and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race were in a deadlock. Neither parties attacked but the tense atmosphere made it difficult for them to breathe.

Chou Qi looked at Fang Zhengzhi as he waited for him to reply.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi frowned very hard. The deal that Chou Qi gave seemed to be fair but how could it possibly be fair if both parties had unequal levels of power?

It was a three-round battle and the winner needs to win two rounds. Each representative only could fight for one round.

This restriction basically made it a deadlock.

Fang Zhengzhi understood the idea behind it. However, like what Chou Qi said, could he really stop Chou Qi if he chose to attack Yan Xiu and Ping Yang in an irrational manner?

Perhaps yes.

However, it was most probably not possible.

If he attacked, it would end up in a deadlock. If he retreated, it would also end up in a deadlock.

For some reasons, Fang Zhengzhi felt strange. He felt that “Chou Qi” seemed to have an extremely good understanding of him and his “weakness”.

Fang Zhengzhi had no choice at all.

“What do all of you think?” Instead of answering Chou Qi directly, Fang Zhengzhi turned and looked at Mu Qingfeng and the rest to ask for their opinions.

“Fight it out with them!” Mo Shanshi’s answer was straightforward.

It also got the approval from a portion of the Human Alliance.

“Yes, if we went with Chou Qi’s deal, we do not stand a chance to win at all. I would rather fight it out with them and kill as many as we can. It won’t be a loss to us even if we died!”

“Exactly, fight it out with them!”

“Fight!”

Every single disciple of the Human Alliance felt a strong sense of righteous indignation.

“How are we going to fight? There are five Godly State experts, the troops with the beasts and so many Monster Kings. We are more likely to lose if we really fought with them!”

“Exactly... we can’t fight it out with them at all, it would definitely result in our deaths...”

“I don’t want to die yet...”

Amongst those who voted for them to fight, another group of people with differing opinion spoke. Instead of saying that they were timid, it should be said that they were behaving with their true nature.

The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race was way too powerful.

With the addition of five Godly State experts, the two parties were incompatible in terms of the level of power.

“Fang Zhengzhi, you have the final say.” At this moment, Mu Qingfeng who had been quiet all along finally spoke. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi with a rare look of trust.

“Shameless brat, the fate of the Human Alliance is in your hands. You will decide our fate.” Mo Shanshi nodded.

The other disciples of the Human Alliance kept quiet.

They were never “friendly” to Fang Zhengzhi. Everyone knew about Fang Zhengzhi’s shameless.

However, they had to admit that Fang Zhengzhi was their only hope now.

“I have the final say?” Fang Zhengzhi asked again.

“Yes!” Mo Shanshi and Mu Qingfeng nodded quickly after exchanging glances.

“Alright, I agree to hold a martial arts competition.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded without hesitation.

He knew very well that if he lost this battle, the Human Alliance would perish.

They had to face the battle no matter what.

Therefore, why shouldn’t he take a gamble?

“...”

“He really agreed!”

The disciples of the Human Alliance widened their eyes and sighed as they also knew that they had no other choice.

However, they had no chances of winning if they followed Chou Qi’s rules for the martial arts competition?

“We will follow your request for a martial arts competition, but...” Mo Shanshi nodded but had some reservations.

“According to the rules made by Chou Qi, one can only fight once. Old man Mo, since you are severely injured, you should rest at the side. I will take the first match!” Instead of retreating, Mu Qingfeng initiated to take on the role.

“Old man Mu...”

“Master!”

“Pavilion Master Mu!”

The disciples of the Human Alliance looked saddened when they saw Mu Qingfeng take the initiative.

They saw the determination in Mu Qingfeng’s eyes but based on the current situation, the first match had to be taken up by Mu Qingfeng.

After all, Chou Qi would definitely not go first.

Therefore, the only person in the Human Alliance who stood a chance to win was Mu Qingfeng who was at the peak of the Sage State.

“No, Pavilion Master Mu can take the second match.” Fang Zhengzhi was slightly surprised by the “rashness” of the sly old fox, but he still shook his head and declined.

“Second match?” Mu Qingfeng was shocked. Then, he turned to Yan Xiu. “Unless you want Yan Xiu to take the first match? No, although Yan Xiu was powerful, I think I am more experienced than Yan Xiu!”

“I am willing to take on the first match.” Yan Xiu ignored Mu Qingfeng and said.

“No, Yan Xiu, you will take the third.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head again.

“Third?” Yan Xiu was evidently taken aback.

That was because, by right, they had very little chance of proceeding to the third match based on Chou Qi’s rules.

Even if there was a third match, Fang Zhengzhi should take it.

However, Fang Zhengzhi was telling him to take on the third match, Yan Xiu was definitely surprised.

However, Yan Xiu did not argue much as he had already regained his memory and trusted Fang Zhengzhi’s choice.

“Shameless brat, don’t tell me you want me to take the first match? Although I admit that I am as fierce as a tiger, it is still too much a responsibility for me to take on the first match.” Ping Yang blinked and probed her head towards Fang Zhengzhi.

“You?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ping Yang in disdain and stretched out two fingers. “You can do the third match too.”

“Ah?” Ping Yang was surprised.

“...”

“Hmm?!”

“How can both of them take on the third match? What does that mean?”

Not only were Yan Xiu and Mu Qingfeng surprised, but all the disciples of the Human Alliance were confused.

Letting Ping Yang and Yan Xiu take on the third match together?

What did he mean!

Fang Zhengzhi did not bother explaining and turned to Chou Qi. “I agree to proceed with the martial arts competition, but can I introduce some restrictive terms too?”

“Of course.” Chou Qi nodded.

“A three-round battle and the winner needs to win two rounds. Each representative only could fight for one round. These are your terms, right?” Fang Zhengzhi confirmed again.

“Yes.” Chou Qi nodded.

“Alright, my terms are simple. For every round, each party must send four people,” said Fang Zhengzhi as he looked at Chou Qi and the four Godly State behind him.

“What?!”

“For every round, each party had to send four people?!”

“We can’t even defeat one of them and yet he wanted us to send four?!”

“Is Fang Zhengzhi mad?”

“...”

Hearing this, the disciples of the Human Alliance were despair and looked as if they were struck by lightning.

Crazy, Fang Zhengzhi was crazy.

Nobody could believe Fang Zhengzhi’s outrageous term.

Even Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi were stunned when they heard Fang Zhengzhi.

For every round, each party had to send four people?!

How could they fight like that?

Unless they fought with all four of the Godly State experts?

That was courting death!

Mo Shanshi and Mu Qingfeng’s faces turned pale immediately. They did not expect Fang Zhengzhi to bring up this deal.

They had already lost hope when they heard that each individual could only go once.

However, despite that, they still had the determination to fight.

However, after Fang Zhengzhi brought up the new term, how could they even have any chances of winning if they had to fight against four Godly State experts at once?

“Fang Zhengzhi. are you mad?”

“Shameless brat... Do you want to kill us?”

Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi stared at Fang Zhengzhi in confusion.

“Didn’t all of you leave the final say to me? Are you regretting it?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Mo Shanshi and Mu Qingfeng innocently.

“Nonsense, of course, we regret it!” Mo Shanshi was inpatient. He never thought that Fang Zhengzhi who was usually intelligent suddenly became like that.

Of course, they were courting death by fighting against four!

“So you are regretting it? Hmm... But it is too late.” Fang Zhengzhi smiled slightly and shrugged.

“...”

Mo Shanshi and Mu Qingfeng were speechless.

Chou Qi kept silent after hearing the conversation.

Similar to Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi, he was surprised by Fang Zhengzhi’s terms.

By fighting against four, wasn’t he courting death?

With such a term, he only had to send anyone out when it was Mu Qingfeng’s turn and send four out when it was Fang Zhengzhi’s turn.

Wait a minute!

The term was not to ‘send out at most four in a match’ but rather ‘must send out four people during a match’!

Although there did not seem to be much difference in these two terms, after careful consideration, the difference was huge.
