879 Falling for the Trap and the Story of Seeing a Ghost in Broad Dayligh (1/2)
”She's wounded?!”
”Monster Emperor Baizhi is injured?!”
”He actually… Injured Monster Emperor Baizhi once again?!”
Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi, the Sages and disciples below were all shocked to see Monster Emperor Baizhi in pain and the blood spilling from her body.
As strong as Monster Emperor Baizhi was, Fang Zhengzhi managed to push her back with a single blow. Furthermore, he even injured her claw.
What could be more ridiculous than that?
No one could believe what they saw. Even Yun Qingwu and the Elders of the Demon race were shocked and failed to react.
After all, she was the Monster Emperor, the strongest master in the Holy Region!
There were shock and horror!
Regardless, no matter how much they didn't want to believe it, the truth remained that Fang Zhengzhi had pushed back Monster Emperor Baizhi and seemed to have gained the upper hand.
”What exactly has happened just now?”
”Why did Fang Zhengzhi suddenly become so strong?”
”Does it have something to do with the fruit of the Tree of God that Fang Zhengzhi swallowed?”
Doubts and questions appeared in everyone's mind and ultimately they all pointed towards the fruit that Fang Zhengzhi had swallowed.
'He didn't die?!”
'Furthermore, he became even stronger!'
'Is the fruit of the Tree of God really meant to be eaten?'
No one knew if that was the right answer. However, it was true that Fang Zhengzhi became stronger. Much stronger.
'Kid, how… How did you do that?' If there was a single living thing in this world that knew the answer to that question, it'd undoubtedly be Monster Emperor Baizhi.
However, knowing the answer was exactly why she was more shocked to the core because the fruit of the Tree of God couldn't be consumed in a normal way.
In simpler words, the fruit could be eaten. However, it could only be eaten by the direct descendants of Emperor Yan.
Monster Emperor Baizhi couldn't understand.
She truly couldn't understand why Fang Zhengzhi was able to devour the fruit. Furthermore, how did he come back to life after it backfired on him?
”Do you want to know why? If you say you do, I'd tell you right away!” Fang Zhengzhi wasn't in a hurry. After all, since he had already stopped Baizhi, there was no more rush.
”You…” Monster Emperor Baizhi squinted and subconsciously lifted her claw. However, she put it down quickly, following which, her demonic jade-green eyes lit up and she continued, ”Ok, tell me. I really want to know how you've managed to survive.”
”Do you really want to know?”
”Yes!”
”How badly?”
”…” Baizhi clenched her claws and her teeth were grinding loudly. However, she quickly loosened up and said with a charming expression, ”Badly, very badly!”
”Is that so? What would I get if I told you the answer?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Baizhi, who was on the verge of going mad, with an eager look.
”Haha, what do you want?”
”Would you give me what I want?”
”…” Baizhi's clenched her claws again and replied, ”Why don't you first tell me what do you want? I'd naturally give it to you if I have it.”
”I want a little bit of your fur to make clothes.”
”Kid, you are courting death!” Baizhi was finally furious once again. All of her white furs stood on end as if she was covered in needles.
”Are you saying that you'd spare me if I'm not courting death?” Fang Zhengzhi's lips curled into a smile.
”Do you really think you'd beat me?”
”How could I know without trying?”
”Hahaha… Fang Zhengzhi, despite being so smart, have you not realized what is going on yet? Take a good look at where you are!” Baizhi started laughing at this moment extremely happily as if all of her anger had completely disappeared.
”Where I am?” Fang Zhengzhi blinked and looked around him. For a moment, he really didn't understand what she meant.
After all, he felt that he was in a good position. He had the entire situation under his control and obstructed Monster Emperor Baizhi, thereby preventing her from coming into contact with Nangong Hao.
'Am I not…'
'In a good position?'
'Wait a minute. Speaking of a bad position, I'm actually not standing at a good spot. After all, the tree's leaves helped to cover me up just now. However, where I am standing at right now…'
It really concurred with the old saying 'My buttock feels cold in the wind'.
”Old wretch, I didn't expect you to have this kind of fetish. Luckily, I still have a change of clothes… Eh? Who stole my Heart Protection Mirror!” Fang Zhengzhi intuitively wanted to reach into his Heart Protection Mirror for something to put on. However, he quickly realized that something was wrong.
That was because apart from his buttock feeling cold, his chest also felt empty.
'What the hell!'
'Am I completely plundered?'
Fang Zhengzhi was really a little displeased now. They could strip his clothes off but they couldn't take his Heart Protection Mirror. It contained the treasures that he had accumulated over the years.
He could bleed or die, but he could never lose his treasures!
That was Fang Zhengzhi's bottom line.
However, Monster Emperor Baizhi was obviously startled when she heard 'Who stole my Heart Protection Mirror?'.
”Does he really not realize that he's already out of the 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation?” Baizhi truly didn't understand Fang Zhengzhi's train of thought.
What was considered a failure? Failure was feeling smug and proud about the success of your scheme while your opponent didn't understand your scheme at all.
Fang Zhengzhi was definitely the example of such an opponent at this moment.
However, Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi, and the rest turned grim. After all, they already understood what Monster Emperor Baizhi meant.
Position!
Just like what she said, Fang Zhengzhi had unknowingly moved out of 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation when he charged towards her.
”This brat… Got tricked!”
”It's over, it's really over now!”
”He can't enter 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation again once he came out. Nangong Hao would still be in their hands if we can't destroy the formation.”
