Chapter 907: The Dragon’s Trigger Point
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It happened too quickly. From the sound to the flash of the light, everything happened in an instant.
The surrounding Demon soldiers could not react to the purple light that was moving towards Yun Qingwu. They could only stare with their eyes widened.
“Young lord!”
“Young Lord, dodge!” The shocked voice of the Vice Domain Chief of the Demon Race was heard. Meanwhile, thick red light started radiating from his body.
His Sabre rose up in the sky.
Without any hesitation, he sliced down on the purple light.
With his powers, he was unable to win the purple light in terms of speed. However, since the sword light came from the entrance of the village and he was right in front of Yun Qingwu, he had the opportunity to block the purple light.
“I will not allow you to hurt Young Lord!” The Vice Domain Chief of the Demon Race roared and sliced down on the purple light with all his might.
However, when he was about to slice his Sabre down, he realized, to his horror, that the beam of purple light was much faster than what he had expected.
Before he could slice down on the purple light, it had already reached his face.
Slash! The purple light cut through the flames on the Vice Domain Chief’s body and then penetrated his body without any pause in between.
Humm! Like the dragon, the sound of the sword echoed through the valley. It was both the sound of excitement and a furious roar.
Yun Qingwu was slightly stunned and looked surprised. However, she did not dodge like what the V of the Demon Race told her to.
It was getting closer and closer!
Just as the purple light was an inch away from Yun Qingwu’s throat, a slender arm that was covered in black scales grabbed the purple light.
In terms of speed, the speed of the arm was much faster.
However, this ridiculous method shocked those around it. After all, it was the sharp purple light that had penetrated the body of the Vice Domain Chief.
Hiss! A sharp and eye-piercing sound was heard. It was the sound of the collision and rubbing of metals, accompanied by sparks.
It was an exaggerated scene.
What was more exaggerated was that the arm, after having grabbed the purple light, spun together with it and stopped in mid-air.
“Hmm??” A confused and surprised voice was heard. Meanwhile, violent wind blew away the black clothing covering the arm as well as the cloak on the head of a black figure.
It was a woman that looked extremely bewitching. She looked younger than 20 years old and had a pair of dual-colored eyes with green and red iris.
“Looks like someone has made a fool out of herself for being too brazen?” As she exclaimed, another figure appeared right in front of Yun Qingwu.
The black cloak was lifted, revealing a face that was as cold as snow, along with sharp features and an expression that caused one to shudder in fear.
It was a male.
Furthermore, it seemed like this man was sneering at the woman.
As he sneered, he made a punch with his fist towards the beam of purple light that was intertwined with the woman’s arm.
Bam! The purple light tilted and fell from the palm that was covered in black scales. It turned into a long sword that flowed with purple radiance.
Boom! The long sword penetrated into the ground.
…
The Demon soldiers were completely stunned.
They were elites who had experienced cruel trainings, yet it never came across their minds that a sword could be so powerful.
It was so fast!
It was so powerful!
Whose? Whose sword was it?!
The Demon soldiers shuddered uncontrollably as they stared at the vibrating long sword in the ground.
The sword had clearly came from the entrance of the village. However, despite the far distance, it had directly penetrated the body of the Vice Domain Chief of the Demon Race and forced the man and woman beside Yun Qingwu to attack together.
This was a thought that struck the Demon soldiers immediately.
However, very quickly, they saw the real appearance of the long sword. It was a sword that was not too fanciful but a familiar one.
“Traceless Sword!”
“It’s Fang Zhengzhi!”
“Fang Zhengzhi returned?!”
The person and weapon that the Demon soldiers were the most familiar with were none other than Fang Zhengzhi and the Traceless Sword respectively. After all, they were a legend in the battlefield of the Southern Region.
Using his sole powers, Fang Zhengzhi turned the tides of the battle in the Southern Region and resulted in the only loss of the Demon Race’s Half Sage, Can Yang. He was also the respected mentor of Yun Qingwu.
Terror, astonishment.
The Demon soldiers feared because in a mere two years’ time, the teenager who had battled in the battlefield of the Southern Region seemed to have grown again with terrifying powers.
Another reason why they were astonished was because of the man and woman standing in front of Yun Qingwu. Although they had not seen them before, they were shocked by the fact that the woman was able to grab the sword with her bare hands.
“Could they be the Demon Deity?!” Although the Demon soldiers knew about the arrival of the Demon Deity, their status did not allow them to know about the entire truth. Therefore, they were not aware of the numbers and identities of ancient powerful individuals who had walked out of the Gate of God of the Realm of Monsters and Demons.
“I have already said that I don’t want to come and yet you dragged me here. Look now, these bunch of bastards are treating me as a Demon! I am obviously a classy Monster!” The woman appeared extremely unhappy as she took a look at the astonished Demon soldiers surrounding her.
“Did I ever drag you?” The man said coldly
“Woah, so you are refusing to admit after you finish fooling around? Also, how dare you say that I am being brazen… I am superior!” The woman raised her chest casually after she spoke.
“…” The man kept silent.
Meanwhile, the surrounding Demon soldiers were completely astonished.
There was a type of pride called the pride of the powerful. However, after the woman spoke, the Demon soldiers could not feel this pride at all.
“Monsters?!”
“So this are the ancient powerful monsters that walked out of the Gate of God of the Realm of Monsters and Demons?!”
“…”
The Demon soldiers really did not know how to respond. After all, the perception that powerful individuals are superior had grown in them. The disparity between their perception and what they had witnessed was too large.
Of course, such minor issues were not important now.
That was because the Traceless sword, after being inserted into the ground, flew up again and flew back towards the entrance of the village.
Meanwhile, a figure appeared in front of the Demon soldiers.
The blue robe swayed in the night breeze. The figure had a face with young features but a pair of eyes that shot out a blood-red radiance.
The pair of eyes scanned past Yun Qingwu and the pair in front of her, then towards the surrounding Demon soldiers and the villagers who were lying on the ground with blood stains all over them.
The pair of eyes eventually fell on a corpse.
It was a corpse whose throat had been penetrated by a sword. He was slightly old and his eyes widened as though he portrayed a sense of desperation and unwillingness.
“Uncle Yangping!!! Yun Qingwu… Yun Qingwu, how dare you lead the troop to conduct a massacre in my Northern Mountain Village!!!” An overwhelming killer aura surrounded Fang Zhengzhi’s body like wild wind.
He did not make too much comments.
That was because every Dragon had a trigger point.
The Northern Mountain Village was a holy ground in Fang Zhengzhi’s heart that nobody could touch. His parents and villagers who had seen him grow up were all in the Northern Mountain Village.
On his way back, he had already felt that there was something amiss in the Northern Mountain Village. However, he did not expect it to be so serious. Furthermore, it was organized and led by Yun Qingwu.
Fang Zhengzhi had always thought that the only difference between Yun Qingwu and him was the difference of race. He was a human and Yun Qingwu was a demon.
This was an unchangeable fact.
He had to become enemies with Yun Qingwu because of that. He wanted to kill Yun Qingwu and she could kill him too. This was an unquestionable fact because after all, he was a human and Yun Qingwu was a demon.
What was wrong for two individuals of different races to be calculative and attack each other?
Fang Zhengzhi really hated Yun Qingwu. However, this was related closely to the battle between the different races.
He always thought he was very similar to Yun Qingwu for this aspect.
Both of them could fight.
Both of them could be extremely shameless and would do whatever they could to achieve what they wanted.
However, they would never do certain things such as how Fang Zhengzhi did not kill Yun Qingwu when she appeared outside the Northern Mountain Village.
When Fang Zhengzhi had broken through the formations made by the thirteen Heaven Dao Sage Tablets, he actually had the chance to kill Yun Qingwu. However, he did not.
That was because he had a bottom line.
Yun Qingwu gave him the thirteen Heaven Dao Sage Tablets. Even though he did not know what was the reason behind this, he could not possibly attack her after he had benefited from her.
However, now…
The scene in front of him triggered him. How could he possibly still think that he was similar to Yun Qingwu, have principles and would not touch his bottom line upon seeing the corpse of Zhang Yangping and the villagers who were lying on the ground?
“Zhengzhi!”
“Zhengzhi is back!”
“Zhengzhi… How… how powerful!”
Fang Zhengzhi had always been the pride of the Northern Mountain Village, especially since he was crowned the only Prince that had a different surname in the Great Xia Dynasty when he was eighteen.
However, it was merely the feeling of pride.
The villagers did not know the actual capabilities of Fang Zhengzhi. Fang Zhengzhi, on the other hand, acted normally like any other villager when he was in the Northern Mountain Village.
Therefore, the villagers of the Northern Mountain Village only knew that Fang Zhengzhi was very powerful but not the extent of his powers.
That included Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian.
But now…
They knew.
They knew why the eighteen-year-old Fang Zhengzhi was crowned the only Prince that had a different surname in the Great Xia Dynasty, as well as why he was appointed to be in charge of the entire region surrounding Northern Mountain Village and the Cang Ling Mountain.
They also knew why the Lord of the Divine Constabulary of the Northern Lands who visited the Northern Mountain Village had to lower his voice when speaking to Fang Zhengzhi.
He was too powerful. Fang Zhengzhi was so powerful such that he was able to defend against the powerful Demon soldiers even though the troop consisted of 10,000 elite Demon soldiers.
“Zheng’er…”
“Zheng’er, don’t worry about me and leave!” Fang Houde could feel Fang Zhengzhi’s powers, but as his father, how could he bear to watch Fang Zhengzhi take such a risk?
“Dad, Mom, rest assured, I am here to save you. I will not allow anyone to hurt you two, nobody!” Fang Zhengzhi clenched the Traceless Sword extremely tightly in his hand until his knuckles turned white.
However, he did not move immediately because Yun Qingwu was less than a step away from Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian.
Furthermore, in front of Yun Qingwu were the man and woman who were able to block his attack.
Fang Zhengzhi was boiling with hatred and anger.
However, he did not dare to take a bet that Yun Qingwu would not hurt Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian. In fact, he would never take this bet.
“So this brat is Fang Zhengzhi? Was the Air-splitting guy killed by him?” The woman standing in front of Yun Qingwu said after seeing Fang Zhengzhi, “He looks very angry!”
“Hmm, seems to be so.” The man nodded.
“His powers are not bad, I can have some fun dealing with him. You don’t need to interfere in this, I want to deal with him alone, is that alright?” The woman said again as she smiled beautifully, radiating an allure that caused people to shudder in fear.
“I am alright but you should seek our Young Lord’s opinions.” The man shook his head casually and turned towards Yun Qingwu.
“Yes yes, I almost forgot… now the Monster Race has a Young Empress too, what is your opinion, Young Emperor Qingwu?” After hearing the man’s words, the woman turned to Yun Qingwu.
Meanwhile, Yun Qingwu was staring at Fang Zhengzhi and the powerful killing intent surrounding him with a pale face and trembling lips, as though she was trying to make some explanation.
“Zhengzhi, kill her. She’s the Demon Young Lord. Once you kill her, we will be able to die in peace!” A villager shouted.
“That’s right, don’t bother about us!”
“Kill the Demon Young Lord and take revenge for our Village Chief!”
Upon listening to this, other villagers shouted too.
“Zheng’er…” Qin Xuelian’s lips moved. She wanted to say something but ultimately did not. Instead, she bit her lips and hugged Little Radish behind her.
“Young Emperor, is you don’t kill this brat, he would kill you. Look at his pair of angry eyes, even I feel slightly fearful, as though there are butterflies in my stomach…” The woman said again when she saw that Yun Qingwu was silent.
