The answer to the riddle is “Dream” 1 .
However, this was no longer important as the black flames seemed to be swallowed when the two lanterns lit up in the haze.
It actually...
Disappeared?!
“You can swallow my ‘combination of hell’?” As Fang Zhengzhi felt shocked, the two long swords in his hands struck once again.
The swords made two sword radiances that was shaped like semi-circles in the air.
Meanwhile, the two lanterns had disappeared and reappeared ten feet away from Fang Zhengzhi.
It was extraordinarily fast.
“What is that?” Fang Zhengzhi struck again.
The two lanterns disappeared again.
However, they soon appeared and was only three feet away from Fang Zhengzhi.
At such a close distance, Fang Zhengzhi could see the real shape of the two lanterns even though it was hazy.
It was actually a pair of eyes!
It was a pair of bloodshot eyes. However, unlike the Dao of Asura, there was a complicated illustration in each of the eyes.
“Blood Offering Illustration!” Fang Zhengzhi recognized the illustration and knew that it was owned by Nangong Hao of the Nangong Gables.
What was going on?
Why did the Blood Offering Illustration appear in “Chou Qi”‘s eyes?!
It was too strange.
Fang Zhengzhi was shocked because logically speaking, Nangong Hao had died in the battle on the Heaven Zen Mountain.
Would a dead person resurrect?
Of course not.
However, if he did not resurrect, how could the phenomenon be explained?
“Fang Zhengzhi, look at who I am!” At this moment, a voice was heard and a black cloak shrouded over Fang Zhengzhi.
“F*ck no!” Fang Zhengzhi would definitely fall for such an obvious trick.
Therefore, he had no intention to look at the “real identity” underneath the black cloak.
That was because no matter what the truth was, he would kill his opponent with his sword!
By then, everything would be revealed.
It was simple.
Without hesitation, Fang Zhengzhi took two steps back and sliced the black cloak into half with his sword.
Slash! The black cloak turned into pieces.
A figure appeared behind the black cloak. He was wearing a dark green shirt and had an ordinary look with a scar on his face.
Fang Zhengzhi stopped attacking.
Besides that, his eyes were wide open as the figure was none other than Nangong Mu.
“Nangong... Mu?!” Fang Zhengzhi was no longer interested in finding out why he did not make use of the chance to trick him but chose to reveal his real identity.
That was because Fang Zhengzhi was already extremely shocked by Nangong Mu.
‘Why is Nangong Mu here?’
‘Moreover, he appeared when I was fighting against Chou Qi?’
Wait a minute!
Something was wrong!
Chou Qi is Nangong Mu?
Nangong Mu is Chou Qi?!
Fang Zhengzhi felt that his brain is exploding as he had never thought that Chou Qi would he relates to Nangong Mu.
Moreover, Nangong Mu had become the commander of the Monster Race and Demon Race while making use of the identity of the demon “Chou Qi”.
What exactly was going on?
Why did Nangong Mu choose to do this?
Just as Fang Zhengzhi was in confusion, the pair of bloodshot eyes had reached him and it was so close that he could see the blood illustration in them extremely clearly.
Bam!
Fang Zhengzhi’s body flew backward and fell from the sky like a meteor. Then, just as it was about to fly out of the gray haze, it was attracted by a powerful force and he got pulled back to where Nangong Mu was sanding.
They were four bloody sharp claws.
The four sharp claws grabbed the arms and thighs of Fang Zhengzhi tightly and pulled his body towards Nangong Mu.
He had been sneak attacked.
This was the first time someone had successfully sprung a sneak attack on Fang Zhengzhi.
And the person who did it was a person whom he had viewed as a friend, a person who had burnt down the Crown Prince’s Residence in the Eastern Palace of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Nangong Mu?!
“You want to kill me?!” Fang Zhengzhi could tell that the four sharp claws came from Nangong Mu and made use of the energy of the Blood Offering Illustration.
Fang Zhengzhi had witnessed this force once before.
In the Heaven Dao Pavilion, Tian Xing was once pulled into the Blood Offering Illustration by this force and Nangong Hao was the person who used it then.
Yet now...
The person became Nangong Mu and the person who got caught was no longer Tian Xing but Fang Zhengzhi.
“Yes, I want to kill you!” Nangong Mu said with affirmation.
“Are you f*cking possessed, if you are, tell me. I can conduct an exorcism, perform Samdambi or burn paper 2 , I can do all of that!” Fang Zhengzhi really could not believe it and he could not figure out why Nangong Mu chose to kill him all of a sudden?
Was he crazy?!
“I am not possessed, I want the fruit of the Realm of God in your body. I want to open the Gate of God, hence, I have to kill you!” said Nangong Mu.
“Fruit of the Realm of God?” Fang Zhengzhi understood.
He had swallowed a fruit on the Heaven Zen Mountain and it was the key to opening the Door of the Realm of God. Nangong Mu wanted this key.
Although he still could not figure out what Nangong Mu had experienced after he returned to the Nangong Nobles, why he suddenly wanted to open the Door of the Realm of God and was willing to kill him for it, he realized that perhaps...
It was the mission of the Nangong Nobles.
“Fang Zhengzhi, rest assured, I will take care of your parents on your behalf and treat them like my own parents. They will become the ‘Father of the King’ once I successfully become the King!” Four bloody chains surged out of Nangong Mu’s body as he spoke.
“Father of the King?” Fang Zhengzhi wanted to dodge as he saw the four bloody chains approach him but he was being gripped by the sharp claws.
He could not move at all.
Crack! The four bloody chains wrapped around Fang Zhengzhi’s body and tied him up like a gigantic rice dumpling.
However, it was a pity that...
It was not the day of the dumpling festival.
If not, Fang Zhengzhi would probably have recited a poem related to the festival...
“What the f*ck, do I really have to die in Nangong Mu’s hands?” Fang Zhengzhi really did not expect that he would die like this.
Moreover, he had to “trouble” Nangong Mu to take care of his parents?
What the f*ck!
Fang Zhengzhi felt that it was better for him to do some things by himself, this includes taking care of his parents, wife and children.
“Hold on, don’t you just want the fruit of the Realm of God? You should have just said this from the start and I would have given it to you. We didn’t even have to fight?” Fang Zhengzhi shouted as he struggled.
“Give? You can’t give it.” Nangong Mu shook his head.
“How do you know that without even trying? Release me and I will give it to you right away.” Sweat trickled down Fang Zhengzhi’s forehead as he felt the powerful pulling force.
“It’s alright, I can take it by myself.” Nangong Mu shook his head again.
“What happened to the trust between humans? Weren’t we friends? What happened to the trust between friends? Since when have I not given you the things you wanted, do you still remember the times when we sang around the hotpot in the Ping Yang Residence? We had even burnt down the Crown Prince’s Residence together!” Fang Zhengzhi was angry.
Crack! The chains which were pulling at him stopped moving.
“Ping Yang Residence...” Nangong Mu looked up at the gray haze in the sky and looked like he was in pain.
Yes, friends!
Wasn’t Fang Zhengzhi his friend?
No!
Fang Zhengzhi is his friend, not only was Fang Zhengzhi a friend, he was the only friend of Nangong Mu.
“What about the promise I made during the Imperial Examination? I helped you hit your brother, didn’t I? I fought with your brother and won, Isn’t this correct? I have done everything I promised you and yet you don’t trust me now?” Fang Zhengzhi continued as he looked at Nangong Mu.
He did not want to bring up the past.
But he did not want to die so indignantly like that.
He felt too f*cking indignant.
Nangong Mu had sprung a sneak attack at him with a slip of his mind. Moreover, he could clearly remember what would happen if he got dragged into the Blood Offering Illustration.
It gave him chills just by the thought of it.
No, he couldn’t die like this. Even if he had to die, he wanted his entire body to remain as a piece and put a piece of ice spirit in his mouth so that his body would not rot for a thousand years.
Touch wood...
He would rather not die.
“Fang Zhengzhi, we are friends, right?” At this moment, the Blood Offering Illustration in Nangong Mu’s eyes started to spin furiously.
“Yes!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded without hesitation.
“Then... would you blame me if I killed you?” Nangong Mu asked again.
“Of course, not only would I blame you but I will also hate you for being a betrayer, a terrible friend and you don’t deserve to be a human!” Fang Zhengzhi was not foolish.
He knew that if he had said no in a selfless tone, Nangong Mu would have killed him straight away.
“Betrayer... I don’t deserve to be a human? No!!! I, Nangong Mu, am not someone like that, I... I am forced to do this!” Nangong Mu’s expression changed.
It was evident that Nangong Mu was extremely unstable and he was in so much agony that his expression was twisted.
A white gigantic tree shone behind Nangong Mu.
There were a few brightly-colored fruits on that tree and every one of the fruits were glowing and they looked extremely Holy.
“This is the Tree of God? There are fruits on it?! Nangong Mu has fused with the Tree of God, those fruits... hold on, the gray fruit looks like...” Fang Zhengzhi stopped.
Because he saw a gray fruit on the Tree of God behind Nangong Mu. It was surrounded by a thick layer of gray haze.
Breath of death.
The breath of death that belonged to Chou Qi.
Did Nangong Mu kill Chou Qi?!
“Yes, I killed Chou Qi. I even killed Qin Xian and... my father. Besides that, my heart... belongs to my brother. Fang Zhengzhi, at this state, would you still be my friend?” Nangong Mu raised his head and looked at Fang Zhengzhi.
“Of course, we are forever friends!” Fang Zhengzhi replied immediately and said after giving it some thoughts, “Amongst the people you killed, two of them are demons. Nangong Hao does because he wanted to save you so you shouldn’t put the blame on yourself.”
“What about my father?” Nangong Mu desperately wanted an answer.
“So your dream is to be someone like your father?” Fang Zhengzhi asked back without answering Nangong Mu.
“No... my dream is not, I am...”
“Then it’s fine. Don’t be so hard on yourself. You are a good person and I am one too. Moreover, we are still friends so you shouldn’t kill me,” continued Fang Zhengzhi.
“That’s right, we are... friends, I shouldn’t kill you... I can’t kill you, I can’t... you are my only friend, I... however, I... I am the disciple of the Nangong Nobles and I have my mission. My dad and my brother are dead. I am the only bloodline left in the family of the Yan Emperor. I can’t let them down... what should I do? What should I do?” Nangong Mu’s expression changed and he mumbled to himself.
Moreover...
Fang Zhengzhi could feel that the red chains around him were slightly loosened and he could finally move.
An opportunity that was given by God.
If he did not grab onto this opportunity, Fang Zhengzhi would have killed himself with a rod.
“Open!” The Rebirth Plate landed at an extremely fast speed and went into Fang Zhengzhi’s body. Then, a five-colored radiance shot out of his body like sharp swords.
Meanwhile, his black wings expanded rapidly behind his back and the powerful energy caused veins to bulge from Fang Zhengzhi’s arm.
Crack! All of the four red chains broke apart together.
Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi seized this opportunity to cut the red claws into pieces with the two long swords in his hands.
This happened extremely quickly and suddenly.
However, Nangong Mu, who had calmed down initially suddenly changed his expression again as he looked at Fang Zhengzhi. When he saw that he had broken free from the red chains and cut the sharp claws, the Blood Offering Illustration in his eyes shone again and they looked even bloodier than before.
The terrifying killer aura surrounded Nangong Mu like a bloody haze.
Meanwhile, the gigantic white Tree of God became extremely clear and was like a real tree that grew in front of him.
