Gate of God

Chapter 147: Floating Snowflakes

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

A fight between a Heavenly Reflection cultivator and a Star Conglomerate cultivator was no real contest at all.

Yan Xiu stood in front of Fang Zhengzhi. The fan in his hand glowed with a rainbow light. He knew that only by working together would they stand a chance.

However, to Yan Xiu's surprise, Fang Zhengzhi pressed Yan Xiu's fan down softly, then pulled Yan Xiu behind him.

Yan Xiu did not understand.

The seven youths did not understand either.

"What is Fang Zhengzhi trying to do?"

Everyone was incredulous, Could he be trying to fight Lu Yusheng alone? Is he dumb, or insanely arrogant?

Fang Zhengzhi did not speak. He simply looked at the floating snowflakes silently.

More and more snowflakes flew in the air. Each one was glimmering in the air and they surrounded Lu Yusheng, the seven youths, Yan Xiu, and Fang Zhengzhi.

Yan Xiu was quite nervous, but, Fang Zhengzhi was calm and composed.

The seven youths were like spectators. If Yan Xiu did not attack, they would not need to waste any energy.

More and more snow gathered in the treasure hall, virtually filling up the entire hall.

The sneer on the seven youths became deeper and deeper. They could feel a strong suffocating force. This was Lu Yusheng's power, the power of Heavenly Reflection.

However, in actual fact, Lu Yusheng's expression was weird.

As he looked at the floating snowflakes, he was surprised, confused, and even slightly flustered. On some level, he could not believe what was happening.

Only he knew.

The snowflakes floating in the air were not all under his control.

"What's going on?" Lu Yusheng did not understand. He looked at the surroundings unconsciously. The snow was the same as before. Then, his eyes glimmered.

Is it the environment?

Lu Yusheng had just broken through the previous night. Furthermore, the conditions for his breakthrough were quite unique. As such, he had not adapted fully to his powers. The only possible explanation for the situation was the environmental factors.

"Why aren't you attacking?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Lu Yusheng silently, disdain, condescension and impatience written all over his face.

"Humph, I guess you really are dumb!" Lu Yusheng waved his hands and willed the snowflakes to move.

Almost like they were controlled by some energy, the snowflakes began to swirl, faster and faster, until finally, a blade-like icy chill blew out.

"Ah!" A voice screamed.

One of the youths grabbed his arm. There was a wound on his arm caused by the blade-like icy wind.

"Master Lu, what are you doing?" Another youth could not believe his eyes as he stared at the injured youth.

At this point, a knife like snowflake was flying towards him.

"Stab!'

The defenceless youth's face had a deep gash and blood flowed out. It was a bright streak of red amongst the white in the air.

"Master Lu, are you trying..." the other youths looked at their injured comrade. They unconsciously retreated, trying to get out of the snow storm.

However, the entire treasure hall was filled with snow, where were they going to go?

"What's going on? Why isn't the snow under my control?!" Lu Yusheng's expression changed when he heard the screams of the youth.

Only now did he feel that only a little bit of the snow was under his control, the rest of the snow...

Were like strangers.

Yan Xiu's expression changed. When he saw the snow swirling, he had already planned to attack, but Fang Zhengzhi had stopped him.

Then, he looked at Fang Zhengzhi

His expression was complicated. It was filled with disbelief and surprise.

At this point, Fang Zhengzhi also noticed Yan Xiu's gaze. However, he did not explain, he simply blinked at Yan Xiu

Then, he turned his gaze towards Lu Yusheng once again.

"Master Lu, you are indeed a man of your word. After you kill them, I will keep to my end of the deal!" Fang Zhengzhi's expression was calm. It was almost as if he was discussing something between friends.

"What deal? I... I didn't even attack them!" Upon hearing Fang Zhengzhi's words, Lu Yusheng stiffened. He simply did not know what Fang Zhengzhi meant.

But...

This did not mean that the others did not understand it.

After hearing what Fang Zhengzhi had to say, the seven youths looked at Lu Yusheng in horror. Even though they did not know what deal was struck, they understood what was going on.

Lu Yusheng was going to kill them!

"Master Lu need not act any longer. Now, the treasure hall is in our control. Later, I will fulfill your wish, but, we can't let too many people know about it!" Fang Zhengzhi continued.

Lu Yusheng's expression changed. He knew what Fang Zhengzhi was trying to do. Fang Zhengzhi was clearly trying to sow discord and cause internal conflict!

"Don't believe him, I have no reason to attack you all!" Lu Yusheng felt a need to put a stop to this. After all, having an enemy at his back was not a good idea.

Then...

Just after Lu Yusheng finished, yet another youth screamed. Five to six gashes of blood appeared on the youth's chest.

Each gash was deep and to the bone.

In the air, blood stained snowflakes continued to dance about like demons.

The seven youths panicked.

They did not want to believe Fang Zhengzhi, but yet, they had to accept the facts. Lu Yusheng was the only one in the Heavenly Reflection State.

This was a well established fact.

Only Lu Yusheng could control the snowflakes.

Lu Yusheng's expression changed. Naturally, he knew what he was doing. Since he wasn't controlling them, why was there another person controlling the snowflakes?

This notion kept floating around Lu Yusheng's mind.

He unconsciously noticed Fang Zhengzhi's faint smile.

"Could it be..."

A notion flashed by Lu Yusheng's mind. However, he crushed it quickly. That was impossible.

After training for so many years with help from countless treasures and the teachings from his ancestors, he was still stuck at the pinnacle of the Star Conglomerate State.

If not for the special help, he would probably need another couple of years to break through. The 24 year old him did not believe that there was another talent like him in the world.

Furthermore. There was no other Heavenly Reflection State person insert 28...

Impossible!

The seven youths also had the same thought as Lu Yusheng.

However, they refused to believe it, and they did not dare to believe it.

"Lu Yusheng, even though you're a disciple of the 13 constabularies, I am also from a reputable family. Whatever you want from the treasure hall, we will willingly cede it to you. If you continue to attack us, don't blame us... ah!"

A youth tried to negotiate with Lu Yusheng for the last time. However, before he could finish, the snowflakes moved once again. This attack was larger than those before it, 20-30 snowflakes flew towards him.

Even if he had prepared for this, his thighs and arms were still injured from the sudden attack.

Bright red snow shot out like arrows.

The youth paled. However, his gaze towards Lu Yusheng was filled with rage and hate.

"Lu Yusheng!" The youths could not stand it any longer. Even though they did not want to believe that Lu Yusheng would attack them, they had to face the facts.

Why would Lu Yusheng want to kill them?

What kind of secretive deal did Lu Yusheng and Fang Zhengzhi make?

They did not know the answers, but they didn't need to know. The fact was that Lu Yusheng was trying to kill them, and he had already attacked.

So...

No matter how unwilling they were, they had to attack.

When faced with a life or death situation, they would bring all their power to bear!even though they did not think that they could fight Lu Yusheng, what else could they do in such a desperate situation?

"Kill!"

"Lu Yusheng, you forced us into this!"

"Die!"

The seven youths attacked at the same time. They all activated their weapons and used their finishers without mercy.

The different colored lights flew towards Yusheng through the snow.

This change was not something Lu Yusheng wanted. He wanted to explain himself, but the light was already closing in on him.

As such, he could only defend.

Even though this was a combined attack from seven Star Conglomerate cultivators, Lu Yusheng was not afraid. He was already in the Heavenly Reflection State.

It was extremely difficult to injure him!

However, at this point, the snow in the air began to change again.

When he controlled the swirling snow to block him, even more snowflakes went in front of the snowflakes he controlled.

"Boom boom boom..."

The snowflakes crashed together.

Flashes of light broke out all over the sky. Countless snowflakes fell to the ground, almost covering the entire area in snow.

With a boom, Lu Yusheng, who did not have enough time to raise his defences, took the hit from seven blades. His body flew and impacted an ice pillar.

Cracks appeared on the pillar, almost as if it had been sliced by a knife.

"Sh*t!" Lu Yusheng spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale beyond comparison.

His eyes were filled with awe. No matter how much he couldn't believe it, not only did he fail to block the attack from the seven youths, there were snowflakes inside his control area that were not under his control?

The seven youths were also stunned.

They were equally shocked, Our attacks actually managed to hit Lu Yusheng so easily?

"What's going on?" The seven youths asked themselves.

At this point, the snowflakes in the sky did not seem to stop. Instead, they seemed to exploded and fly towards Lu Yusheng and the seven youths.

The snowflakes filled the sky and let out a bone chilling sound, almost as if countless blades were flying willfully in the wind.

"Stab stab stab..."

Slashes rang out in the air.

Lu Yusheng and the seven youths were wounded in multiple places. In an instant, the blood stained the clean snow, making a beautiful scene in the air as the snowflakes swirled.

The immense pain made Lu Yusheng lose his energy to stand up. He sat on the ground. He did not look at the seven youths, instead, he stared at the smiling Fang Zhengzhi with wide eyes.

The seven youths all recovered and looked at Lu Yusheng, then at Fang Zhengzhi.

In an instant, a terrifying notion welled up in their hearts.

It was like a burning bonfire in their bodies.

They did not dare to entertain this notion previously. If it was true, then, this would be something that would cause the entire empire to shiver.

However, what else could explain what was going on here?

"You're... in the Heavenly Reflection State?!" Lu Yusheng stammered. His voice was pained, and despairing. However, he managed to force the question out.

The seven youths also stared at Fang Zhengzhi wide eyed.

They wanted to hear Fang Zhengzhi deny it, however, the snow still flying in the air seemed to make their question redundant.

If...

If the snow in the sky was really controlled by Lu Yusheng.

Why didn't he block the attacks just now?

The question was moot. What was comical was that they still doubted and questioned if Fang Zhengzhi was in the Heavenly Reflection State!

"Master Lu, are you blind?" Fang Zhengzhi sneered. Then, with a single thought, the snow in the sky began to move.

Lu Yusheng and the seven youths wanted to dodge to the side. However, they were immobilized.

They could only look on in despair at the swirling snowflakes in the air...

"Are we going to die?!" The eight of them had the same thought flash through their mind. They did not want to die like this, but, they could not resist it.

At this point...

The snowflakes in the sky stopped.

The gazes of the eight people also stopped. They saw a few words, words formed by the snowflakes, frozen in midair.

"This is such an obvious indication of Heavenly Reflection, yet you all can't see it? Are you blind?"
