Chapter 953: Face on the Ground
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
What was more insulting than being plotted against by someone weaker than you?
There was no specific answer to this question. However, it was evident that Chou Qi looked extremely bad.
Apart from the white color, his face was extremely black.
“Die!” A ferocious roar was heard as Chou Qi grabbed on the Blazing Qilin Spear at his palm and kicked forward.
This happened almost instantly.
That was because Chou Qi thought that it was impossible for Ping Yang to dodge his fatal blow after she sprinkled the lime powder on him.
However, Ping Yang dodged it.
Strangely, Ping Yang was five foot away from Chou Qi, or rather, she was forcefully pushed by someone because her entire body had rolled towards the side.
Meanwhile, a low voice was heard behind Chou Qi.
Bam! Judging from the sound, the slap was relatively hard and the person had no intention of showing mercy.
“It’s Meng Tian?!”
“He... He didn’t fall from the cliff!”
The six Monster Kings and the Demon soldiers saw the figure who had slapped Chou Qi. It was no other than the “Meng Tian” who had been pushed down from the cliff by Chou Qi.
As for Chou Qi...
The heavy slap caused his body to fall forward and he slammed his face right on the ground.
Then, with the shocked gazes from the six Monster Kings and the Demon soldiers, “Meng Tian” raised his leg and stepped on Chou Qi’s head.
“Silly fool!”
“Weren’t you laughing very happily?”
“If you can laugh again like just now, I may spare your life!”
“...”
Fang Zhengzhi’s voice echoed on the cliff of the Sword Peak. He did not stop stepping on Chou Qi because that was one of the only chances he could do it.
Bam!
Crack...
“...”
Then...
There was no ‘then’.
Chou Qi’s body had vanished and rolled far away like Ping Yang. However, as compared to Ping Yang, he looked way more miserable.
There were terrifying blood stains on the face that was coated with white like powder and even the corner of his mouth was red with blood.
It was evident that Chou Qi was quite severely injured.
All these happened within a short period of time, from the collision of Chou Qi and Fang Zhengzhi’s palms to how Chou Qi and Ping Yang had both rolled to the side.
It was unbelievable and felt as though one was riding a roller coaster as the ups and downs, as well as the turn in events, happened too quickly.
“Hahaha... Did I, the Princess, act well?!” Ping Yang laughed wildly when everyone else was stunned.
Perhaps she was too excited and happy, she accidentally revealed her identity as the “princess”.
“Act well?!”
“She said she was acting?”
“Could all of these be...”
The six Monster Kings did not hear the exact words of Ping Yang because they were overly stunned but they heard part of her sentence very clearly.
In reality, it was exactly like what they had thought.
Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang were acting.
It was a plot?
Although he was called “shameless” by many, Fang Zhengzhi was never against how others had called him. After all, only a dead person or a fool would forcefully fight on and delay time while pretending to look good as a hero in this scenario.
Therefore, before Chou Qi had arrived, Fang Zhengzhi had already discussed a plot with Ping Yang although the Monster Kings thought they were just chatting casually while admiring the scenery.
Evidently, their plot was successful.
After Fang Zhengzhi pretended to fall from the cliff, Chou Qi’s back was completely exposed in front of him. Of course, he had to cripple Chou Qi.
As for Ping Yang...
She dashed back towards Fang Zhengzhi as she spoke with her eyes lit up in excitement. Of course, she did not realize her slip of the tongue.
Fang Zhengzhi also did not bother too much about it as after all, he was used to Ping Yang calling herself a “princess”. Therefore, he did not realize there was a problem with her sentence.
...
At the bottom of the cliff of the Sword Peak of the Heaven Dao Pavilion...
Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi were waiting behind a giant rock while the teams led by Dao Hun and Wu Yuer had rushed over to meet them.
It was a little overwhelming to see over 70 “Meng Tians” who had black face cloths over their faces standing together, but it was still difficult for them to be noticed in the dark.
“Vice Alliance Leader Mu, I heard that Meng Tian is currently on the cliff of the Sword Peak?” Dao Hun asked immediately after he reached.
“Yes.” Mu Qingfeng nodded and was about to continue talking when he suddenly saw something that looked like a black dot in the sky.
Very quickly, the black dot enlarged in size and a figure who was masked with a black cloth leaped down from the sky.
“Greetings, Master and all sect leaders!”
“Any new intelligence report?” Mu Qingfeng identified that the person was the spy on the Heaven Dao Pavilion right away.
“Hmm, the Godly State expert had appeared. His name is Chou Qi and he began fighting with Senior Meng Tian on the cliff of the Sword Peak. However, he is injured!” replied the disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
“He’s injured?!”
“Can you be clearer with your words, who is injured, Meng Tian or Chou Qi?!”
The surrounding sect leaders asked with their eyes widened.
“Chou Qi... Chou Qi is injured. He was slapped on the back and kicked by Senior Meng Tian. It looks like Senior Meng Tian is winning so I came back to report!” replied the disciple.
“How powerful!” Apart from being excited, the sect leaders had expressions of admiration and envy.
“Yes, how wonderful, I never thought that Senior Meng Tian was so powerful. With him, we totally do not need to fear the Monster Race and Demon Race!”
“That’s right, so what are we waiting for?!”
“How about charging to the Heaven Dao Pavilion and kill all of the monsters and demons with Senior Meng Tian before entering the Black Stone Palace?”
The other sect leaders expressed their opinions.
“No! Yun Qingwu is arriving soon and there are other Godly State experts with her. Our time is limited. We should not underestimate our opponents now, we need to enter the Black Stone Palace immediately!” Mo Shanshi spoke.
Having a straightforward character, he was extremely suspicious of Meng Tian’s plans after confirming his identity and capability.
The other people also nodded quickly upon hearing that. After all, the main mission for them was to look for the Source of God in the Black Stone Palace.
However, as compared to the other sect leaders, Dao Hun kept silent and seemed to be deep in thought.
“Alliance Leader Dao, please make a decision!” After expressing their thoughts, the sect leaders turned to Dao Hun and waited for his commands.
“Ah... Alright, then... then let’s head into the Black Stone Palace to look for the Source of God now.” Dao Hun regained his senses and turned to Wu Yuer as something struck his mind. “Sect Leader Wu, since we are entering the black stone palace, can you please take out the kit that Meng Tian gave you?”
“Senior Meng Tian told us to open the kit after we enter the Black Stone Palace.” Wu Yuer shook her head without hesitation.
“After we enter? Haha... Does it matter? We are about to enter anyway... What do the rest think?” Dao Hun narrowed his eyes and turned to the surrounding sect leaders.
“But...”
“...”
The sect leaders kept quiet.
According to Meng Tian, they could only open the kit after they enter the Black Stone Palace. However, since they are already about to enter, what was wrong with opening it slightly earlier?
“Since Senior Meng Tian instructed us to open it after we enter, why are you insisting on opening it right now?” Mo Shanshi asked straightforwardly without caring about Dao Hun’s image.
“Vice Alliance Leader Mo, that’s not the right way to phrase it. As the Alliance Leader of the Human Alliance, I care about the safety of our alliance. Although we have already confirmed Meng Tian’s identity, it is still dangerous for us. The reason why I wanted to open the kit was that I am taking everyone’s safety into consideration...”
“What is there to consider? If we trust someone, we should trust him fully! Since we have trusted Senior Meng Tian, we should not doubt his intentions and follow his orders as it is!” Mo Shanshi interrupted Dao Hun before he could complete his sentence.
“I agree with Valley Master Mo!”
“Yes, since we are definitely entering, there’s no difference between opening it now and later!”
“I think there’s no difference between opening it now and later too. I have no objections if everyone feels that we should open it after we enter.”
The other sect leaders nodded at his words.
“Alright, since everyone agrees, please make your order, Alliance Leader Dao!” After hearing these, Mo Shanshi’s eyes flashed with a mocking intention.
Dao Hun clenched his fist as his body shook slightly. Although his face was covered by the black cloth and mask, one could still feel his anger.
However, Dao Hun became calm very quickly and his gaze changed back to a friendly one. He looked at Wu Yuer and Mo Shanshi and said, “Haha, since everyone has no objections, then we shall follow Senior Meng Tian’s instructions for now. However, Sect Leader Wu, please remember to open the kit after we enter the Black Stone Palace. This is for the sake of the Human Alliance’s safety!”
“Of course!” Wu Yuer nodded.
“Alright, pass down my order, the four teams are to standby outside the Black Stone Palace at the four directions —North, South, East, West. Besides that...” Dao Hun took a glance at Mo Shanshi and coughed, “I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it, Vice Alliance Leader Mo?”
“Haha, please speak, Alliance Leader Dao!” Mo Shanshi laughed.
“Considering the uncertainty after we enter the Black Stone Palace, I think we should keep a group guarding outside the Black Stone Palace, what do you think, Vice Alliance Leader Mo?”
“So you want me to guard the door for you?!” Mo Shanshi understood what Dao Hun meant immediately.
“Don’t be angry, Vice Alliance Leader Mo, it is for the sake of the bigger picture. Are you willing to make a small sacrifice for the bigger picture, Vice Alliance Leader Mo?” Dao Hun tried to convince him.
“Since it is for the bigger picture, why don’t you wait outside instead?” Mo Shanshi was evidently not happy. How could he accept it if he was not allowed to enter after making his way there?
“I don’t mind guarding outside but as the Alliance Leader of the Human Alliance, I can’t possibly stay at the frontline. If anything happens inside, I have to be there to make decisions. Furthermore, don’t you think you are the most suitable person to be the guard?”
“Why am I the most suitable?!”
“Haha, calm down, Vice Alliance Leader Mo. Firstly, I can’t possibly be the one guarding outside because I am the Alliance Leader of the Human Alliance. Nobody has objections to this, right?” Dao Hun looked at the surrounding sect leaders after he spoke.
The sect leaders took a glance at each other and nodded quickly. After all, it was a fact that Dao Hun was the Alliance Leader of the Human Alliance.
“Alright, very well, you are the Alliance Leader of the Human Alliance, but aren’t I the Vice Alliance Leader?” Mo Shanshi’s temper could be felt.
“You are still so impatient, Vice Alliance Leader Mo, let me finish my sentence first, please?”
“Fine, speak!”
“Firstly, we need someone to stay outside, no objections to that, right? Secondly, I have to enter, and Vice Alliance Leader Mu had gone into the Black Stone Palace before so he can’t possibly be the one staying outside. Thirdly... Amongst the four Vice Alliance Leaders of the four teams, that leaves us with Vice Alliance Leader Mo and Sect Leader Wu. Let’s not talk about the kit in Sect Leader Wu’s hands, just by judging from your individual powers, are you comfortable with leaving Sect Leader Wu outside to defend the powerful opponents?” Dao Hun smiled as he argued.
“You...” Mo Shanshi was extremely infuriated.
Mu Qingfeng, on the other hand, frowned and tapped Mo Shanshi’s shoulders, attempting to calm him down.
“Old man Mo, don’t be rash!”
Spat! “Since when was I rash? Fine, I will stay outside!” Mo Shanshi spat on the floor and walked to the side.
Seeing this, Dao Hun smirked and pointed at the Black Stone Palace. “Pass down my orders, the Fu Yi troops will guard outside the Black Stone Palace. The other three troops, follow me!”
