Chapter 998 - The Story of the Toad and the Monster

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

“Isn’t it strange?” Lin Yu looked at the inverted mountains and the waterfalls that flowed upwards.

Wasn’t it strange for the mountains and waterfalls to be inverted?

Although Lin Yu was an ancient powerful individual who had encountered numerous strange events, the inversion of mountains and rivers was not easily seen.

However, Lin Yu did not continue probing as after all, everything had their own opinions.

It was similar to how different people interpreted a painting differently.

Nangong Mu stared at the surroundings extremely closely from left to right and did not miss out any details.

Meanwhile, the competition was still going on.

Mu Qingfeng was indeed very powerful. He was at the peak of the Sage State and was once recognized as one of the most powerful Sages in the Holy Region. Besides that, he was also the Pavilion Master of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

Both his capability and experience could be described to be experienced and vicious.

Crack! An arm of one of the Monster Kings was crushed by Mu Qingfeng. He spat out a mouthful of blood and kept retreating.

Evidently, none of the Monster Kings could match up to Mu Qingfeng if they fought one on one.

The so-called “a starving camel is still bigger than a horse” theory by Mo Shanshi was rather accurate. Although he suffered grave injuries in the battle with Qin Xian, fortunately, he had enough time to recover and recuperate. Now, he was attacking rather ferociously.

Under Mo Shanshi’s control, the black giant hammer was extremely powerful and forced the Monster Kings to retreat as sweat trickled down their faces.

Both the second elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the elder of the Fu Xi Valley were both relaxed too.

The golden seal in the second elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion’s hand flipped over and shrouded the four of them completely. The spinning golden sword on the golden seal made him even more powerful.

Fang Zhengzhi knew the capability of the second elder.

Attack of the golden seal, defense of the golden seal, be it attack or defense, the golden seal was the best at it and was only slightly weaker than Mu Qingfeng in terms of the Enlightenment State.

“Attack!”

“We can’t lose to them!”

“We must defeat these humans!”

The Monster Race and Demon Race were anxious when they saw the four disadvantaged Monster Kings. Although they knew that they would have probably lost this round when they saw Mu Qingfeng, they were reluctant to lose.

However, the difference in their level of skills was very obvious.

Without Godly State experts, no matter how powerful the Monster Race and Demon Race were, they were unable to defend against the Human Alliance. The outcome of this round was already determined.

The four Monster Kings held on with all their might but was unable to defend against the violent attacks of Mu Qingfeng’s team. Soon after, one of the Monster Kings was heavily injured.

Meanwhile, the faces of the other three Monster Kings were pale.

They did not want to lose but Mu Qingfeng was too powerful. Although he was below the Godly State, he could indeed be called the most powerful Sage of the Sage State.

“Die!” As Mu Qingfeng roared coldly, his finger sword struck the forehead of the Monster King and the force caused the Monster King to fly back.

Two of the Monster Kings were heavily injured.

The other two Monster Kings gritted their teeth. They wanted to go all out but would they be able to turn the tides if the outcome had already been determined?

The concern here was not their willingness to fight but whether it was worth it or not.

It was unwise for them to fight if it was not meaningless.

Boom!

Boom!

Along with two loud claps of thunder, seven golden king swords stabbed the bodies of the remaining two Monster Kings and bloody cuts were made.

Blood spurted out from the two Monster Kings’ bodies.

The floor had been stained red.

As compared to the first round of the competition between the Human Alliance and the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race, the second round was much more violent and all the four Monster Kings suffered heavy injuries.

“We won!” Mu Qingfeng stepped on one of the Monster Kong’s chest and a bright light shone from his finger sword.

“…” The troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race fell silent.

Meanwhile, the four heavily injured Monster Kings gritted their teeth. Although they were all unwilling to accept it, they had to admit that there was a huge difference in terms of the level of skills.

“We have lost.” The four Monster Kings looked at each other and said in unison.

“We won!”

“We really won!”

“One loss and one win, we have a chance!”

The disciples of the Human Alliance finally regained their senses and cheered in excitement.

They had initially thought that they would not stand a chance to win at all in this competition. However, now they were at a draw with the Monster Race and Demon Race.

Moreover, Fang Zhengzhi from the Human Alliance had yet to go on the battlefield.

There was hope!

There was really hope!

They had never been so excited before in their lives. They felt like they saw the light of hope in the darkness of despair.

Of course, while they felt excited, their attention fell upon one person.

Fang Zhengzhi!

He was an extremely shameless person who had been despised and even hated by the disciples of the Five Sects of the Holy Region.

Hey now, he was the one who brought light to their darkness of despair.

“Shameless brat, how did you guess that ‘Chou Qi’ will not send any Godly State experts in the second round?” Ping Yang turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi and she could not hide the excitement as well as confusion in her eyes.

“Because this Chou Qi is not the real Chou Qi.” Fang Zhengzhi smiled.

“This Chou Qi… is not the real Chou Qi? What do you mean?” Ping Yang looked even more confused.

Fang Zhengzhi did not continue to answer Ping Yang as he was also not sure about the answer.

So…

What exactly happened?

“Ping Yang, should we settle our bet?” Wu Yuer’s voice was heard at this moment and there was a hint of a smile in her black eyes.

However, it was a smile as though she saw money.

She managed to get 10,000 ounces of gold so easily like that!

How would she not smile?

“Hmph!” Ping Yang pouted and looked extremely unhappy. However, she was somewhat helpless. She wanted to win Wu Yuer initially but ended up losing.

How would she be cool with that?

However, Ping Yang’s character was good and she had no intention of playing cheat. “I will never go back on my words, isn’t it just 10,000 ounces of gold, I will pass them to you after I return to the palace in the Great Xia.”

“Thank you very much.” Wu Yuer did not probe further as she knew that 10,000 ounces of gold were nothing to Ping Yang.

Nangong Mu stopped looking at the inverted scenery and took two steps forward gradually.

“One win and one loss. The winner is determined by this final round.” Nangong Mu said quietly and was not unhappy because he lost the second round.

“It seems like so.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head and walked out from the crowd into the center of the stage.

“I wonder who you are sending to take part in the final round with you?” Nangong Mu asked again.

“Shouldn’t you be the one sending out your participants first?” Fang Zhengzhi asked as he smiled and looked at Lin Yu who was behind Nangong Mu.

“Hmm, yes indeed.” Nangong Mu nodded and looked behind.

Lin Yu knew what Nangong Mu meant and took a step forward with the two Monster Kings who were pre-selected. All of them looked extremely stern.

The two Monster Kings were the most powerful amongst the monster kings. In fact, they were ranked just below Monster Emperor Baizhi.

One of them was almost as powerful as Mu Qingfeng.

It was a female monster that changed her form to a charming man. She was female but she wore a white outfit of a man and had extremely fair skin.

If not for her thin waist and bulging chest, one could definitely not tell that she was a female.

“Fang Zhengzhi, this Monster King is called ‘Ling Ning’, she is the servant of Monster Emperor Baizhi and is very powerful. Her real form is a three-eyed poisonous toad. Her speed of attack is extremely fast and you have to be careful of her third eye!” Mu Qingfeng reminded Fang Zhengzhi when he saw the Ling Ning step out.

“Poisonous toad? You mean an ugly toad?” [1. Fang Zhengzhi had used another term that referred to ‘toad’ in a negative manner] Looking at the female monster named ‘Ling Ning’, Fang Zhengzhi sighed to himself, indeed…

One couldn’t judge a monster by her looks.

This fair-skinned female monster was actually a toad?

“Ugly told?” Mu Qingfeng was speechless. In the Holy Region, probably only Fang Zhengzhi dared to call a powerful three-eyed poisonous toad an ‘ugly toad’.

However, it was not the time to dwell over this now.

That was because Mu Qingfeng knew that the Monster Race and Demon Race had reserved their powers in the second round when Ling Ning walked out.

This meant that the Monster Race and Demon Race also place all their bets on the third round.

One round to determine the winner!

“Fang Zhengzhi, both of these Monster Kings are powerful. Both old man Mo and I are not confident of winning with a hundred strikes. Who are you planning to send to fight alongside with you?” Mu Qingfeng hesitated a little before he gingerly asked the question.

Mo Shanshi and the surrounding disciples of the Human Alliance also turned to Fang Zhengzhi.

The winner was determined by this round.

They would definitely not hold back.

“Yan Xiu,” said Fang Zhengzhi.

“Hmm… Alright, and?” Mu Qingfeng paused for a moment and nodded. Although Yan Xiu was young, he was almost as powerful as Mu Qingfeng.

Moreover, Yan Xiu was friends with Fang Zhengzhi.

The two of them had good chemistry.

Mu Qingfeng had no objections for Yan Xiu to participate in the third round of the competition.

“And I have to trouble Uncle Yan.” Without hesitation, Fang Zhengzhi turned to Yan Qianli who was standing amongst the crowd.

“Yan Qianli?” Mu Qingfeng looked surprised.

Although Yan Qianli was also a powerful sage, he did not enter the sage state for a long time and only had reached the first stages of the sage state.

Although Yan Qianli secured the Dao of Asura of the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques, as compared to the powerful elders of the Five Sects of the Holy Region, he was still lacking.

Apart from Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi and Yan Qianli were also surprised and looked stunned when they heard Fang Zhengzhi.

“Are you sure?” Mu Qingfeng asked again.

“Yes.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.

“Alright, then we shall proceed with your decision. Thank you, Prince Yan!” Although Mu Qingfeng was not sure why Fang Zhengzhi made this decision, he did not probe further.

Mo Shanshi, however, had the intention to ask.

However, after hearing what Mu Qingfeng said, he swallowed his words and ended up keeping silent.

“I have a suggestion for the last representative — elder ‘Gu Yuan’ of the Fu Xi Valley. You should have met him at the Heaven Dao Pavilion last time. Elder Gu, for the third round, we are putting the Human Alliance in your hands!” continued Mu Qingfeng.

“I will definitely fight with all my might!” Hearing this, elder Gu Yuan of the Fu Xi Valley quickly stepped out from the crowd.

“Elder Gu, please describe your skills in detail to Fang Zhengzhi, remember to protect Yan Xiu and Yan Qianli!” adviced Mo Shanshi.

“Alright, my Dao is…”

“It’s alright, I have already decided on the fourth person, it’s Ping Yang.” Fang Zhengzhi disrupted Gu Yuan’s sentence.

“Ping Yang?!” Mo Shanshi was shocked.

Apart from him, the surrounding disciples of the Human Alliance were also very shocked and acted as though they heard something extremely unbelievable.

“Why was it Ping Yang?!”

“She’s so young, even if she had entered the sage state, her foundations are weak!”

“Be it her foundations, her state or her experience, Ping Yang was way lacking in those aspects. We are doomed to lose if we sent her for the third round!”

The disciples of the Human Alliance were in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Mu Qingfeng smiled bitterly after hearing what Fang Zhengzhi said.

He had always stayed beside Fang Zhengzhi and have heard the conversation earlier on in which Fang Zhengzhi decided to let Ping Yang take on the third round.

Precisely because he heard Fang Zhengzhi, he did not ask Fang Zhengzhi about the last representative and appointed Gu Yuan directly instead.

After all, the third round was way too important.

Did he want to send Ping Yang?

Wasn’t he messing around?

Mu Qingfeng had some reservations with sending Yan Qianli up but he did not express it eventually.

The reason was that although Yan Qianli was not as powerful as the elders of the Five Sects of the Holy Region, he was close to Yan Xiu.

The two of them had a lot of chemistry and could work together well, that was extremely crucial.

Moreover, although Yan Qianli was slightly lacking in his cultivation state, he was very experienced in battles. After all, Yan Qianli was a soldier who had experienced hundreds of battles and his skills were trained because of the battles.

Although he was slightly weaker in terms of power, he was still considered a suitable representative.

However, who was Ping Yang?

Sending her up to court death?!
