918 The Echoes of A Gun (1/2)
”Surname is Meng and name is Tian.”
”Meng Tian?!”
If there was a name in the world that was unforgettable for the entire Demon race, it was none other than Meng Tian, the Sagely Battle God.
On his own, he managed to chase after Demon Emperor Si Kong in the Blood Shadow City and killed him in front of the tens of thousands of Demon soldiers while standing in the sky.
Even now…
There was still a sword mark left in the Blood Shadow City.
This memory was fresh as new in every single Demon's mind. They remembered how they were insulted and the hatred they felt. However, they were extremely fearful of the Sagely Battle God.
”Meng Tian?!”
”He is the Sagely Battle God Meng Tian?!”
”Sagely Battle God… did not die? He is still alive?!”
The Demon soldiers were stunned. A name alone was able to send a chill down the 10,000 Demon soldiers' spines.
”He is Meng Tian?!” Shan Yu, who was in the midst of fighting against the Demon soldiers, stopped moving and looked in disbelief.
As the Queen of the Southern Region, the vassal state of the Great Xia Dynasty, how could she have not heard of the legend where the Sagely Battle God split the Blood Shadow City apart?
After all, the Sagely Battle God was someone who stood at the peak of the world.
”Meng Tian?! Meng Tian did not die?!” The two Settlement Chief looked at each other and saw each other's shock.
Meanwhile, there was chaos amongst the Demon soldiers. The Demon soldiers began retreating involuntarily with their eyes widened in disbelief.
”Monster Deity, he is Meng Tian!”
”Sagely Battle God Meng Tian!”
”How is this possible? How is Sagely Battle God Meng Tian not dead?!”
The Demon soldiers shouted in disbelief. However, the powers shown by the figure forced them to believe it.
That was because only Meng Tian whose powers were previously at the peak of the world could possibly beat Lin Ji in such a manner.
The Demon soldiers were astonished. They wished that they could tell Lin Ji how powerful the figure in front of her was, but Lin Ji acted like she did not hear anything.
Then, a dull sound was heard.
Bam! Lin Ji's body flew and made a parabolic path across the sky before she heavily landed on the ground.
It was a punch.
A punch made by the figure.
Of course, it was made on Lin Ji's face. After all, all the other parts of her body were covered with spikes from her scales.
”…”
The Demon soldiers watched with their mouths agape as they fell silent. This was the third time Lin Ji was sent flying by the figure standing in front of her, Sagely Battle God Meng Tian.
”Sigh… really weak.” The figure began speaking and scanned around at the 10,000 over Demon soldiers.
The Demon soldiers' trembled in fear as they tried to avoid the gaze of Meng Tian.
Meng Tian laughed.
He laughed in joy and disdain. The laughter echoed through the night sky and hit the Demon soldiers like a whip.
”Hahaha… Hahaha…”
”…”
”Ah!!!” Just as the figure was laughing his heart out, a roar was heard and Lin Ji stood up abruptly from the ground.
”Monster Deity!”
”Monster Deity, are you alright?”
”He is Meng Tian, Sagely Battle God Meng Tian!”
The Demon soldiers started moving towards Lin Ji as they shouted.
”Meng Tian?” A look of confusion flashed past Lin Ji's eyes. She had a strange expression as though she had just lost her memory.
However, her eyes lit up quickly as chilling gazes flashed past.
”Legend… Meng Tian? Sagely Battle God Meng Tian? The Meng Tian who split the Blood Shadow City apart with his sword?!” Lin Ji mumbled to herself as she tried to process the information in her mind. As she spoke, her face turned dark. ”Rubbish, how can someone who had been dead for years come back alive?”
”Yes, how can the dead come back alive?” The figure nodded and walked towards Lin Ji.
”How can the dead… come back alive? What does it mean?” Lin Ji clenched her fist as she stepped backwards slightly.
”Guess, use your beautiful face to guess.” The figure stared at Lin Ji with a look of disdain.
”Why should I guess!” Lin Ji moved again.
That was because the figure had moved extremely close to her. As the saying went, 'Who strikes first prevail, who strikes last lose out'. At such a close distance, if Lin Ji did not strike first, she probably would really end up in a disadvantaged situation.
Lin Ji threw a punch forward.
However, at the instant when she did that, her body froze again and it felt as though there were lightning bolts that spread through her body.
Then…
There was no 'then'.
She was sent flying once again. However, this time, the figure had struck her directly and extremely violently.
Right on her face!
It was a simple strike but it was aimed directly at the center of her face.
Pfft! Lin Ji spat out a mouthful of blood which stained her black scales.
”What happened? Why am I…” Lin Ji stood up again with heavy breaths and looked at the figure who was walking towards her with a look of astonishment and disbelief.
She felt that her body was no longer under her control when she threw the punch earlier on as it became extremely stiff.
Or rather, it was not only stiff but also a state of confusion, as though her brain had lost connection with her body.
Why did this happen?
Why?!
Nobody answered Lin Ji's question as she was once again sent flying and landed in the middle of the Demon soldiers.
”Ah!”
