Chapter 1056: Unpredictable Tactic

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Since the beginning of the ancient era, the race of Chi You had used their powerful body and strength to rule over the world. Even Emperor Yan an Emperor Huang had suffered great losses while defending against them and almost lost the battle.

Now, under the leadership of Hong You, the twelve warlocks attacked Nangong Mu together. One could imagine that Nangong Mu was definitely at a disadvantage.

But will Nangong Mu give up?

Obviously not.

A few dozens of golden tree branches flew in the sky and blocked the twelve warlocks, Trying to stop them from approaching him.

Nangong Mu was fighting for time.

“Trying to stop the twelve of us with his individual powers, how naive!” Hong You sneered as he charged down.

Boom! The golden tree branch was torn apart.

A huge amount of golden fluid dripped onto the ground, producing loud booms. Meanwhile, golden tree branches rose from the ground and grew wildly.

“They have the ability to regrow?” Hong You seemed to be very surprised but his eyes flew brighter. “This is getting more and more interesting, the powerful breath of life combined with the ability to regrow, if we obtained these power, it would only be a matter of time before the demon race ruled the world!”

“Attack!”

“Kill this brat!”

“Absorb his skills!”

The twelve warlocks attacked wildly at Nangong Mu together and the golden tree branches were quickly broken. Even though there were many golden tree branches growing on the ground, the rate of growth was powerless as compared to the wild attacks by the twelve warlocks.

“Shameless brat, what should we do? Should we help Nangong Mu?” asked Ping Yang.

The situation was strange. Nangong Mu wanted to open the Door of the Realm of God, a situation that Ping Yang, Fang Zhengzhi and the rest did not want to see.

However, they could not witness the murder of Nangong Mu by the twelve warlocks as that would cause humankind to end up in a disaster too.

They were in a dilemma.

Yan Xiu fell silent too.

Helping Nangong Mu now would give them a high chance of opening the Door of the Realm of God, however, if they don’t help him, it was highly possible that he could be killed.

What should they do?

“No matter what, Nangong Mu can’t die now.” Fang Zhengzhi frowned. It was evidently a difficult choice.

However, he knew something for sure.

He could not let the twelve warlocks kill Nangong Mu or else the world would be taken over by the demon race once the fruit of the Tree of God ended up in the twelve warlocks’ possession.

“Hmm, the shameless thief makes sense, Nangong Mu can’t die.” Chi Guyan nodded and her eyes lit up.

“Then should we help Nangong Mu first?” Ping Yang asked cautiously.

“Yes.” Fang Zhengzhi affirmed.

“Then let’s attack. Nangong Mu doesn’t look like he can last much longer and could be killed anytime.” Ping Yang looked anxious as she watched the battle.

The twelve warlocks were very powerful.

In a second, he had almost reached Nangong Mu. The golden tree branches could not stop their wildness.

Especially Hong You.

His gigantic body was like a terrifying beast. He broke at least three golden tree branches for every punch he threw as he used a lot of strength.

Looking at strength alone, Hong You was almost equivalent to Golden Dragon.

“So this is the power of the Chi You?” Mu Qingfeng and the rest were speechless when they saw that.

‘Chi You’ was a symbolism of power in the ancient era. However, Chi You was too violent and was killed by both Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang.

However, the battle was very violent and dangerous.

According to legends, both Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang had lost to Chi You. They barely won him because of their schemes.

“Look at the fruit in his hand.” said one of the warlocks.

That was because he saw a golden fruit in Nangong Mu’s hand. It was as clear as jade and had a powerful breath of life.

“So his powers originated from that fruit.” Hong You smiled.

With the powers of the twelve warlocks, it was not very difficult for them to absorb Nangong Mu’s breath of life and ability to reborn.

However, it required some tactics.

Moreover, it could not be affected by the surrounding people.

However, it was much simpler as long as they snatched the fruit from Nangong Mu. They would definitely not lose once they attacked together.

“That’s strange, why is Nangomg Mu forcefully starting the sacrificial ceremony when he knew that he could not defeat his opponents?” Ping Yang looked at the fruit of the Tree of God in Nangong Mu’s hands in confusion.

“He is waiting for us,” said Fang Zhengzhi.

“Waiting for us?” Ping Yang did not understand.

Although she managed to get a confirmed answer and Fang Zhengzhi was willing to help Nangong Mu, she did not understand how Nangong Mu managed to guess that.

“Hmm, a quarrel which benefits only a third party, Nangong Mu is forcing us to start a fight with the twelve warlocks to buy time for him to open the Door of the Realm of God.” Fang Zhengzhi could somewhat read Nangong Mu’s mind.

The more risky it was, the higher the chances.

It was a method to succeed while taking a risk.

Nangong Mu was alone. He had no chance of winning if he planned to attack the twelve warlocks or Fang Zhengzhi.

However, if Fang Zhengzhi and the rest fought with the twelve warlocks, they could have created a chance for him.

“I am so annoyed. Although we have to help him, I am very unhappy with the fact that we are used by him!” Ping Yang said angrily.

“Yeah, I am very unhappy too.” Fang Zhengzhi could understand how Ping Yang felt.

After all, it did not feel good to be used by others even though he had to help Nangong Mu in this situation.

“What will happen if we don’t help him? Will he really hand the fruit of the Tree of God over to the twelve warlocks?” Ping Yang was not pleased.

“The problem now is, the fruit of the Tree of God will be snatched away by the twelve warlocks if we don’t help Nangong Mu,” said Yan Xiu.

“Is there any way to please us while allowing us to keep the fruit of the Tree of God?” Chi Guyan looked at Fang Zhengzhi and seemed to be asking for his opinion.

“Are you asking me?”

“Yes, we need some unusual methods to achieve our goal. You definitely win me in this aspect.”

“You are basically saying that I am more shameless?” Fang Zhengzhi felt speechless.

“You mean that’s not true?” Chi Guyan smiled.

Meanwhile, Ping Yang and Yan Xiu also smiled. The three of them looked at Fang Zhengzhi and waited for him to think of a solution.

With regards to what Chi Guyan said...

Fang Zhengzhi could not refute it.

If there was a ranking for shamelessness, he would definitely be ranked number one.

“Satisfy our goal and keep the fruit of the Tree of God?” Ideas flashed across Fang Zhengzhi’s mind. It was difficult to make a choice given the current situation.

However, with a closer inspection, the critical issue only involved one thing.

The fruit of the Tree of God!

Nangong Mu wanted to open the Door of the Realm of God with the fruit of the Tree of God, the twelve warlocks wanted to get the energy of the fruit of the Tree of God while Fang Zhengzhi had to stop the Door of the Realm of God from being opened.

“I got it!” Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up.

“You have an idea? Tell us, what do we have to do?” Ping Yang’s eyes lit up immediately with a look of expectation.

“Let’s do this...” Fang Zhengzhi signaled the three of them to go closer as he tried to lower his volume and shared his plan.

“...”

“...”

The expressions faces of Chi Guyan, Ping Yang and Yan Xiu turned strange.

The three of them exchanged glances and fell speechless.

“Isn’t this too shameless?” said Ping Yang in a relatively excited manner. She could not resist the urge to laugh as she thought about the outcome.

“Slightly happier now?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled too.

“Yes, very happy. Let’s do that, Sister Yan, Yan Xiu, what do both of you think?” Ping Yang nodded and looked at Chi Guyan and Yan Xiu.

“Sure.” Yan Xiu had no objections.

“I have no objections.” Chi Guyan nodded too.

“Then let’s begin!” Fang Zhengzhi knew that Yan Xiu would not object but he was slightly surprised by how Chi Guyan agreed so quickly.

Indeed, even someone as gifted and superior as Chi Guyan would have a rebellious nature.

“Charge!”

As Fang Zhengzhi shouted, the four of them charged towards the center of the battle between Nangong Mu and the twelve warlocks at an extremely fast speed.

This attracted the attention of Mu Qingfeng and the rest.

“Fang Zhengzhi finally attacked?” Mu Qingfeng frowned and seemed to feel helpless, “Sigh... we indeed have no other choice.”

“Hmm, even if we are being used, we have to help Nangong Mu.” Yan Qianli nodded.

“I don’t think so.” Wu Yuer shook her head.

“Oh? Yuer, you mean you don’t think Fang Zhengzhi will help Nangong Mu but help the twelve warlocks instead?” Heavenly Oasis Saint was confused.

The four of them charged towards Nangong Mu and the twelve warlocks.

It was obvious that they wanted to help Nangong Mu.

It was impossible for them to help the twelve warlocks.

“I don’t know but I feel that the shameless brat has a sneaky idea!” Wu Yuer did not even have to make a guess.

That was because she could tell from Fang Zhengzhi’s blooming smile that he had some unexpected idea.

Meanwhile, the twelve warlocks and Nangong Mu saw the four of them too.

“Brother, the humans who had killed Tao Tie as coming!” One of the warlocks spoke.

Although they belonged to the powerful race of the Chi You, they could not deny the fact that Fang Zhengzhi, Yan Xiu and the rest killed Tao Tie together.

With this fact, they were definitely worried about the four of them as Tao Tie had very terrifying powers.

“I knew it.” Hong You nodded. Nangong Mu was a human and it was reasonable for Fang Zhengzhi and the rest to assist him. Without hesitation, he said, “The four of you shall hold them back. Remember, just hold them back and don’t let them come over!”

“Roger!” The four warlocks nodded immediately.

It did not require all the twelve warlocks to defeat Nangong Mu and snatch the fruit of the Tree of God. Eight of them was sufficient to win him.

Now that Fang Zhengzhi and the rest came into the picture, sending four of them to defend and hold them back was the best idea.

The four warlocks moved. With a straight-line formation, they stood in front of the four of them. Instead of attacking, they waited.

“Today’s weather is good.” Fang Zhengzhi smiled as he saw the four warlocks.

“What?” The four warlocks were stunned as they looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and the lightning.

‘The weather is good?’

How can the weather be called good weather?

Moreover, was it time to talk about the weather?

At this moment, the four warlocks realized that all four of them disappeared and only a beam of azure blue light was left behind.

“...”

“It’s the Heavenly Rebirth Dao!”

“Hurry, stop them!”

The four warlocks regained their senses quickly.

They had underestimated the powers of Fang Zhengzhi and the rest. Or rather, they did not expect Fang Zhengzhi and the rest to go around them.

The four of them did not even bother fighting with the warlocks.

Were the four of them intending to go directly to Nangong Mu and fight against the twelve warlocks together with him?

“They went around the warlocks directly?” Hong You frowned as he saw Fang Zhengzhi and the rest disappear. “Come back, stop the defense and attack Nangong Mu directly!”

“Roger!” Just as the four warlocks were about to give chase, they stopped and regained their senses after hearing Hong You’s command.

Fang Zhengzhi was obviously distracting them.

He was trying to make use of the Heavenly Rebirth Dao to make the four warlocks look for them. Then, they would spring a sneak attack and save Nangong Mu.

It was not brilliant.

But very useful.

However, if they were not distracted, what would happen?

After the four warlocks regained their senses, they quickly turned around and went back to Hong You and was about to attack Nangong Mu again.

Then, they realized that Fang Zhengzhi and the rest appeared.

However, what surprised them was that...

Fang Zhengzhi and the rest did not appear beside Nangong Mu. Instead, they appeared behind the warlocks and were pretty far away from them.

“What’s happening?” The warlocks were stunned.

If Fang Zhengzhi and the rest had taken the opportunity to go beside Nangong Mu and fight alongside him or spring a sneak attack behind them, these scenarios would be reasonable.

However, the position they were at made it impossible for them to spring a sneak attack.

What were they thinking about?

“Don’t all of you think that today’s weather is amazing?” said Fang Zhengzhi with a bright smile.

“...”

“What on earth?”

The twelve warlocks, including Hong You, felt speechless.
