908 Killing You With One Hand

"Since you have already made an attack, why aren't you attacking anymore?" Yun Qingwu finally spoke although it was not directed to the woman.

Or rather, after Fang Zhengzhi had appeared, Yun Qingwu's eyes had not left Fang Zhengzhi.

"Our Young Empress seemed to be a little unfriendly? She is ignoring others." The woman seemed to be unhappy.

"It is called being arrogant," said the man.

"That is considered being arrogant? Then what about me? Am I rather… arrogant?" The woman licked her lips and winked at the man.

"…"

"This cheap slave girl beside you… seems to be a little disobedient?" Fang Zhengzhi's voice broke off the conversation between the man and the woman.

Of course, he was directing his words towards Yun Qingwu instead of the woman. His eyes were also turning redder.

"Brat, did you just call me a cheap slave girl?!" The woman's expression changed suddenly.

"You mean you are not? As a Monster who walked out of the ancient battlefield, a powerful monster of the Godly State, you are obeying a mortal of the Star Conglomerate State. If you are not a cheap slave girl, then are you a dog-like slave?" Fang Zhengzhi took a step forward as he spoke and the Traceless Sword in his hand kept making a sound.

"Hahaha… I knew that you would say this. Did you feel like you were able to make use of my anger to accomplish your ulterior motive? Do you think you could sow dissension between me and the Young Empress so simply? Come on, continue calling me a cheap slave girl or a dog-like slave, or do you have other more offensive names?" The woman started laughing hysterically at the last part of Fang Zhengzhi's sentence and her body shook.

"Lin Ji, make your leave first!" Yun Qingwu frowned.

"Oh… okay, though I haven't had enough fun dealing with such a interesting human." The woman named Lin Ji poured and was clearly unhappy when she heard Yun Qingwu's commands. However, she quickly went to the back of Yun Qingwu and kept quiet.

Meanwhile, the man standing in front of Yun Qingwu also moved to stand beside her.

It was evident that after Yun Qingwu spoke, both the man and Lin Ji no longer had the intention to speak.

This was not surprising to the villagers of the Northern Mountain Village as they did not know what were the significance of their status as Godly State experts.

However, the scene shocked the surrounding Demon soldiers.

In fact, when Fang Zhengzhi began to sow dissent, they already started to worry because the man and woman were too powerful.

With their powers…

Were they really willing to listen to Yun Qingwu?

After all, Yun Qingwu was the Young Lord of the Demon Race. Although she was extraordinary intelligent, how would the two powerful Monsters willingly obey her commands and not resist at all?

Nobody was certain.

Therefore, the Demon soldiers could not be certain too.

However whatever took place in front of them told them that both Lin Ji and the man seemed to comply to Yun Qingwu.

This was astonishing.

Yet, it was the reality.

Fang Zhengzhi glanced at the man and woman who had moved and clenched his fist. From what he could recall, the Space-splitting Demon God did not acknowledge Yun Qingwu's identity immediately after he walked out of the Gate of God of the Realm of the Demons.

Although the Space-splitting Demon God had lost his bet with Yun Qingwu and had to comply with her eventually, this only happened because of the special circumstances.

However, the Heaven Zen Mountain…

Obviously did not have the same special circumstances.

Fang Zhengzhi was genuinely impressed by Yun Qingwu's powerful leadership skills. He was certain that Yun Qingwu had her ways to make use of the powerful individuals who came out from the Gate of God of the Realm of Monsters and Demons.

However, he still had to take a gamble.

He was gambling with time.

Only one and a half month had passed since the opening of the Gate of God of the Realm of Monsters and Demons. Would the two Godly State experts really comply with Yun Qingwu in this short period of time?

This was what Fang Zhengzhi wanted to gamble on. In fact, Yun Qingwu seemed to have already done it. Despite his insulting language, the woman named Lin Ji did not resist at all.

Yun Qingwu!

So this was the power of Yun Qingwu?!

"Why aren't you attacking?" Yun Qingwu asked after taking a glance at Fang Zhengzhi and feeling the killer aura surrounding him. Her tone was completely different from before.

Fang Zhengzhi kept silent and clenched his fist. He really wanted to attack because he was not afraid of the so-called "Godly State experts", however, how could he do so?

Yun Qingwu was too close to Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian. In fact, they were just one foot apart. Qin Xuelian would be dead if Yun Qingwu moved her finger.

In such a situation, how could he take a gamble? He could not because he was unable to accept the consequences if he had lost.

They were his only family members in this world, they were his biological parents!

Fang Zhengzhi really could not bring himself to do so. He could make use of Qian Yu or even Emperor Lin Mubai to set the trap, but he would never ever be able to bet for the mercy of Yun Qingwu with the lives of his parents.

"Are you afraid?" Yun Qingwu trembled uncontrollably when she saw that Fang Zhengzhi had kept quiet. Her expression became slightly agitated. "What are you afraid of? What exactly are you afraid of?"

This was an expression that could be rarely seen on Yun Qingwu. However, Yun Qingwu was clearly agitated. It was an agitation that could not be suppressed.

"Yun Qingwu!!!" Fang Zhengzhi clenched his fist so tight that he cracked his knuckles and he started breathing very quickly. It was an expression that could be rarely seen on him.

Anger, extreme anger.

"In the Southern Region, you were not afraid when you were the only one who dashed towards the cliff amongst the 10,000 soldiers. In the Holy Region, you were not afraid when you went alone to the Yun Qingwu to capture Dao Hun. From Ling Yun Tower to the Heaven Zen Mountain, you were never afraid. Why are you afraid now?" After the wave of agitation, Yun Qingwu had calmed down and looked dejected.

However, she did not wait for Fang Zhengzhi to reply. In a flash, her dejected expression disappeared and she became as calm as the lake. "Hmm… Speaking of which, you ought to be afraid since your parents are in my hands, right?"

"What on earth do you want?!" Fang Zhengzhi finally spoke.

"Initially I didn't want to do much, but since you have spoken, let me think… Wait for a while as I think about it… Ah, I know, I thought of a very interesting deal that I am sure you would agree to without any hesitation!" Yun Qingwu smiled involuntarily at the last part of her sentence.

It was a subtle smile but instead of a joyful smile, it looked like a bitter one.

"Alright, I'll agree!" Fang Zhengzhi did not have the mood to notice Yun Qingwu's expression. He only had a thought in mind: rescue Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian. No matter what terms Yun Qingwu had given him, he would agree to them.

Therefore, he agreed without any hesitation before Yun Qingwu even told him about her terms.

"Including the request for you to marry me?" Yun Qingwu asked casually.

"Marry her?!"

"This evil Demon Young Lord… wants Zhengzhi to marry her?"

"What's going on?"

The villagers of the Northern Mountain Village were all extremely stunned when they heard Yun Qingwu's words.

Similarly, the Demon soldiers were completely stunned too.

After all, they did not expect the "interesting deal" Yun Qingwu was talking about referred to asking Fang Zhengzhi to marry her.

"So what? Not willing to? Marry me and serve for the Monster Race and Demon Race. Do you agree with this deal?" Yun Qingwu asked again, ignoring the shocked reactions of the villagers and the Demon soldiers.

At this instant, Fang Zhengzhi raised his Traceless Sword and pointed it at Yun Qingwu with his eyes bloodshot. However, he soon put his Traceless Sword down.

That was because he saw Qin Xuelian and Fang Houde standing like two falling leaves in front of Yun Qingwu and the two powerful Monsters.

"Alright, I will go to the Blood Shadow City with you!"

"…"

"Zheng'er, no! You can't leave with this evil demon…" Qin Xuelian blacked out and her body gave way. If Little Radish had not caught her, she would have collapsed on the ground.

"Auntie Qin, Auntie Qin are you alright?" Little Radish caught Qin Xuelian with all his strength. His face was flushed red but his skinny arms had an enormous strength that held on to Qin Xuelian dearly to prevent her from falling to the ground.

Meanwhile, Fang Houde panicked and dashed over after he saw that Qin Xuelian had fainted, and helped Little Radish hold on to Qin Xuelian.

"Xuelian, you can't die, Xuelian…" Two streams of tears flowed down Fang Houde's stern face. Although he was a strong-willed man, he could no longer hold in. "Zheng'er, I understand that you want to save us, but you can't become the enemy of humankind because of that, you can't… Zheng'er, you are the pride of our Northern Mountain Village!"

"Dad!! I can't watch Mom and you die like this. No matter what, I must save you two, trust me…" Fang Zhengzhi's body shook and his eyes were wet with tears. The killing aura around his body radiated to the surroundings.

"Zhengzhi…"

"Good boy, what a good boy!"

"Zhengzhi, we are proud of you. No matter what your decision is, we will support you, even if your decision is wrong."

Witnessing this scene, every villager teared.

"Haha, I can't believe that you really agreed." Yun Qingwu started laughing bitterly and there was a tinge of sadness in her eyes.

"I have already promised you. Now, let my Dad and Mom go!" Fang Zhengzhi did not know what went through Yun Qingwu's mind. He also did not need to know. He only knew that no matter what, he could not let Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian die.

"Brother Zhengzhi, are you really marrying her?" A tender voice that was extremely pure was heard.

"Little Radish, I will put you the future of the Northern Mountain Village in your hands." Clenched his teeth very tightly, Fang Zhengzhi nodded lightly.

"Hmm, rest assured, Brother Zhengzhi, I will. Even if I die, I will make sure I protect the Northern Mountain Village well!" Little Radish nodded seriously.

"I believe in Little Radish." Fang Zhengzhi's expression was also very serious. After finishing his sentence, he looked at Yun Qingwu once again. "Let my parents and the rest of the villagers go. I'll go with you to the Blood Shadow City and you can do whatever you want to me!"

"Young Empress, are you really going to marry this brat? Is he even worth marrying?" The woman named Lin Ji standing behind Yun Qingwu could not hold in her words anymore.

"What do you think?" Yun Qingwu asked back.

"In terms of looks… This brat is not ugly and has some speciality. However, he is not extremely handsome." Lin Ji shook her head and took a sweeping glance at Fang Zhengzhi again before she continued, "In terms of capabilities, he has potential and is talented, but he is not powerful enough."

"You don't think he is powerful enough?" Yun Qingwu asked again.

"Perhaps he is one of the most powerful in the Mortal State, but he is too weak as compared to us. I can even kill him with one hand." Lin Ji said with affirmation.

"You won't be able to kill him with one hand," said the man standing beside her.

"What do you mean, Lin Yu? Are you trying to dampen my aspirations and boost this brat's ego? Let me tell you, I have at least ten ways to kill him with one hand."

"I don't believe you." The man named Lin Yu was not convinced at all.

"Don't believe? Then let me prove it to you!" Lin Ji stood out while one of her hand got quickly covered with black scales.

Witnessing this, Yun Qingwu frowned again and took a look at Lin Ji with an unhappy expression.

After seeing Yun Qingwu's expression, Lin Ji stuck out her tongue and stood behind Yun Qingwu again without any intent to go against her.

The man named Lin Yu smiled and looked carefully at Fang Zhengzhi. "I think that although this brat may not be powerful enough at the moment, if he followed me, looking at the current state of the world… I believe that he would become a powerful individual in less than five years' time."
