Gate of God

Panda Novel

“Five years? With Young Empress’s plans, we only need two years before the humankind lose their ability to defend, why do we need to wait for five years for this brat?” The woman named Lin Ji said.

“Hmm, that’s right, we don’t need to wait for five years.” This time round, Lin Yu did not refute Lin Ji and nodded his head slightly. Then, he turned to Fang Zhengzhi. “Of course, with this brat’s personality, he would not be genuinely compliant even if he went to Blood Shadow City.

“That’s right, Young Empress, do you really think this brat is worth marrying?” Lin Ji understood what Lin Yu meant and looked at Yun Qingwu again.

“He used to be!” Yun Qingwu affirmed.

“Used to? How long ago?” Lin Ji asked again.

“Just now… 15 minutes ago,” Yun Qingwu spoke again.

“Young Empress, you mean that he is no longer worth marrying now?”

“I am not sure about that. Maybe he is, maybe not.” Yun Qingwu shook her head and seemed to be pondering over something.

Just as she was conversing with Lin Ji and Lin Yu, Fang Houde suddenly bent to the ground and a sharp knife appeared in his hand.

It was the knife that had dropped to the ground when he was fighting against the Vice Domain Chief of the Demon Race.

This was an unexpected and sudden scene. The villagers of the Northern Mountain Village were shocked and stared at Fang Houde.

After grabbing the sharp knife, Fang Houde did not attack Yun Qingwu like how the villagers had expected. Instead, he returned to Qin Xuelian’s side.

“Dad, what are you doing?!” Fang Houde’s body shook. He did not bother about what Yun Qingwu and Lin Ji would do to him because he only had one intention: to rescue Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian.

“Zheng’er, Dad and Mom can’t be a burden to you. Forgive me… I have to do this!” After Fang Houde spoke, without hesitation, he stabbed Qin Xuelian’s chest with the knife in his hand.

Bam!

Fang Houde rolled to the side and dropped his knife on the ground. Meanwhile, a figure gradually appeared at the position he was standing at previously.

It was none other than Lin Ji.

“Hey, trying to kill your wife before committing suicide? What a noble fatherly love. However, it’s not so easy to commit suicide in front of me, hehe…” Lin Ji’s body shook slightly ass she laughed. She looked at Fang Houde as if she was looking at an ant that could be fiddled with or killed anytime by her.

“Lin Ji!!!” Fang Zhengzhi’s roar echoed throughout the entire Northern Mountain Village.

“What happened? So fierce? I saved your parents, shouldn’t you thank me for that? Don’t shout at me like this, I am so scared…”

“Zheng’er, Dad is useless. I can’t even commit suicide…” Fang Houde gradually stood up from the ground. He took a glance at the knife on the ground and two streams of tears fell to the ground.

Fang Houde, a man who was nearly fifty and had lived strong-willed for decades, a man who never shed a tear even when one of his arm was bitten off by the Blue Fire Wolf and was having the hardest time in his life, had his tears flowing like a fountain at this moment.

He resented his incapability, he resented his weakness, he resented the fact that he had become a burden for Fang Zhengzhi.

“Dad, you can’t die. Mom too. i can’t live without you two, please, I am begging you!!!” Fang Zhengzhi’s body shook and he knelt down to the ground.

Throughout his entire life, Fang Zhengzhi was someone who rarely knelt down to his knees, even when he met Emperor Lin Mubai.

However, he knelt down at this moment.

With both knees on the ground, his Traceless Sword was stabbed deeply into the ground and tears as red as blood welled up in his bloodshot eyes.

Perhaps it was not tears but real blood.

A man does not shed tears unless deeply hurt.

How could Fang Zhengzhi not be resentful?

He was extremely bright. He had clenched the Double Roll Champion continuously in the examination of the Law of Dao and made great achievements in the Battle of the Southern Region, making himself known in the Five Sects of the Holy Region.

However, now…

He could not even protect his loved ones. How could he not be resentful?

“Zheng’er… Don’t kneel, you can’t kneel. You are a man, how can you kneel like this?” Fang Houde’s body trembled violently and gripped onto the soil and rocks on the ground with all his might, causing his nails to curl because of the immense strength. However, Fang Houde did not seem to feel any of this.

“Brother Zhengzhi, Uncle Fang, you two have to be brave and not be terrified by the villain! The book wrote that a gentleman must constantly strive to improve and stay strong. This was what Brother Zhengzhi taught me!” Little Radish’s tender voice was heard and his black eyes were glistening with determination.

“Little Radish…” Fang Houde sobbed.

The villagers of the Northern Mountain Village also sobbed. Their visions blurred with tears and soon began weeping.

Yun Qingwu clenched her fist tight and turned over to look at the gradually darkening Cang Ling Mountain.

“Let’s go,” said Yun Qingwu.

“Now?” Lin Ji was clearly not satisfied yet but did not say much.

“Hmm, Fang Zhengzhi, I have decided to change my mind and I am not marrying you. Anyway, you do not have the right to choose, so you should not have any complains if I change my deal?” Yun Qingwu continued staring faraway and did not turn back.

Fang Zhengzhi clenched his fists very tightly and did not speak.

“Do you still remember our bet on the Heaven Zen Mountain? For two years’ time, you can live peacefully as an ordinary human and I won’t disturb you. However, there’s something I wish to remind you, if you want to protect your parents, you better don’t leave the Northern Mountain Village. After all, I may be back anytime.” After she finished her sentence, Yun Qingwu walked out of the village.

“Hahaha, that’s right, Young Empress. How is this brat worth marrying?” Lin Ji laughed as she heard Yun Qingwu’s words.

“Let’s go.” Lin Yu took a glance at Lin Ji and caught up with Yun Qingwu. He clearly did not have any intention to stay on longer.

Witnessing this, the surrounding Demon soldiers kept their weapons and retreated from the Northern Mountain Village in an orderly manner.

Meanwhile, a few of the Demon soldiers helped the severely injured Vice Domain Chief up from the ground. After all, although his body had been penetrated by Fang Zhengzhi’s sword, as a Demon who was of the Rebirth State, he did not die immediately. In fact, he would be able to recover after a period of recuperation.

As Yun Qingwu and the Demon soldiers took their leave, the villagers got up and quickly surrounded Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly exploded up from the ground.

A killer aura surged crazily like a wild whirlwind that shrouded the entire Northern Mountain Village. It was extremely fast, as fast as a stream of light.

Crack!

The Vice Domain Chief that the Demon soldiers were carrying split into half. Then, his body exploded and the force caused the Demon soldiers to fall to the ground.

A figure appeared at the center of the explosion. The blue robe was stained with blood under the night sky and a dragon-like sound came from the purple long sword.

“Fang… Fang Zhengzhi?!” All the Demon soldiers who saw this whipped out their weapons again with stern expressions.

After all, nobody had expected that Fang Zhengzhi really dared to spring an attack in front of 10,000 Demon soldiers and two powerful individuals of the Godly State.

Lin Yu frowned. A light radiance flowed past his body as he took a glance at the dead Vice Domain Chief and the figure who was shrouded by a killer aura.

Meanwhile, Yun Qingwu stopped.

However, she did not turn back or speak. She only stopped for a while before she continued walking in the direction of the exit of the village.

The Demon soldiers looked at each other and did not know what to do.

“Are you guys waiting to be killed by staying here?” Lin Yu glanced at Yun Qingwu and Fang Zhengzhi and the radiance on his body disappeared.

“Go, go now!”

“Yes!”

The Demon soldiers understood what Yun Qingwu meant. Without the protection of the two Godly State experts, the 10,000 of them were like the fish on the chopping board that was left to be slaughtered. Fearing for their lives, the soldiers sprang towards the exit of the village.

As compared to the orderly manner they were moving in earlier on, the speed that the Demon soldiers had retreated was several times faster. Almost immediately, they were all out of the village.

However, there was still one figure standing at the entrance of the Northern Mountain Village.

It was none other than Lin Ji.

“Young Empress really cared for you. However, are you able to fully vent your anger on the Vice Domain Chief of the Demon Race only? If I recalled correctly, there were 23 corpses on the Cang Ling Mountain. It seems like… they are the villagers of the Northern Mountain Village? Hahaha…” said Lin Ji.

“Go and die!” With an extremely violent stance, Fang Zhengzhi moved and dashed towards Lin Ji with the Traceless Sword in his hand.

“Well, here again, you are infuriated again. I shall not keep you company today. Hahaha, if you want to take revenge, come find me in the Blood Shadow City. It’s very near, you just have to climb over this mountain. If you feel lonely tonight, you can come look for me too, I have many ways to keep you entertained!” Lin Ji smiles and vanished.

Boom!

A gigantic crack appeared on the ground. It was caused by a sword and extended from the entrance of the village to the river outside the village.

“Ah!!!” A howling roar which was emitted at the entrance of the village echoed throughout the entire Northern Mountain Village. The violent killer aura and anger turned into blazing flames that burned the ground, causing cracking sounds to be made as though the ground was about to be set ablaze at any time.

Meanwhile, two gigantic beasts appeared in the sky outside the village. Both of them landed at the entrance of the village with an extremely fast speed.

“Shameless… Zheng, Zhengzhi what happened to you?!” Wu Yuer leaped down from the beasts with Chi Guyan in her arms. She took a look at the Northern Mountain Village and her expression changed drastically. “What happened to the village? Who did this? Why did this happen? Where are the people who did this?”

“Ah!!!” Fang Zhengzhi roared again. Instead of replying Wu Yuer, he headed towards a corpse.

Mister Mo Cheng.

The Chief Mister of the College of the Northern Mountain Village.

Ever since Fang Zhengzhi asked Chi Guyan for Mister Mo Cheng, a famous Mister in the Five Constabularies of the Northern Lands, he had been loyal to the Northern Mountain Village and stayed there ever since.

Yet now…

Mister Mo Cheng had collapsed and gave his last glance to the village. Now, even his body was unable to leave this place.

“Sob sob sob…”

“Mister was a good man. Without him, the Northern Mountain Village would not have possibly prospered. Mister had contributed a lot. Rest In Peace, Mister!”

“Mister Mo Cheng…”

The villagers all began to cry after seeing Mister Mo Cheng’s corpse. These villagers bidded farewell to Mister Mo Cheng with their kind hearts.

However, Mister Mo Cheng could no longer hear them.

“Village Chief, Village Chief!”

“Wake up, Village Chief. The evil demons had already left…”

“Old man, don’t leave, don’t leave me alone, old man!”

Soon after, weeping sounds were heard in another place. There was another corpse, the corpse of Village Chief Zhang Yangping at that location.

“Auntie Wang, Village Chief had already left, he had already left us.” The villagers, with faces of sorrow, tried to convince the woman who was hugging Village Chief Zhang Yangping and refused to let go.

Fang Zhengzhi, on the other hand, knelt down to the ground and moved towards the corpse of Zhang Yangping gradually on his knees.

From the Southern Mountain Village to the Northern Mountain Village, if Zhang Yangping had not given him assistance initially, Fang Zhengzhi would not have managed to get hold of the entire “Law of Dao” so quickly and accomplished so much within a short period of time.

Although Zhang Yangping had his ulterior motives when he brought Fang Zhengzhi to the Northern Mountain Village, for these ten years, he had genuinely cared for the Fang family.

“Uncle Yangping!!” Fang Zhengzhi knelt in front of Zhang Yangping and banged his head on the ground such that deep dents were formed and his forehead bled.

“Zhengzhi, get up quickly!”

“Zhengzhi, Auntie won’t blame you. The evil Demons were too powerful…” Auntie Wang sprawled beside Fang Zhengzhi and hugged him.

Fang Houde walked to Fang Zhengzhi with Qin Xuelian and Little Radish, his tears still flowing non-stop.

“Brother Yangping, Houde thank you for your care in this ten years. Here I am to apologize!” Fang Houde knelt to his knees after he spoke.

“25 lives, 25 lives of the Northern Mountain Village… Yun Qingwu, I will make sure you pay the price for this, a thousand and million times of the price!” Fang Zhengzhi inserted his hands into the soil and tears of blood started trickling down his face again while he let out a painful roar, “Ah!!!”

Anger, grievance, hatred.

Fang Zhengzhi breathed heavily as he looked at Zhang Yangping who had his eyes shut.

Then, gradually, his world became silent.

That was because he could no longer hear the sound around him. He could only see the villagers screaming around him.

“Zhengzhi, Zhengzhi…”

“Zhengzhi!”

Voices were made around him but he could not hear them at all. Wu Yuer shook Fang Zhengzhi violently but he did not give any reactions.

All he did was look quietly at Zhang Yangping and spat out a mouthful of thick blood. Then, his vision completely changed instantly.

If the fuming rage was not vented, it would result in the flow of blood towards the brain.

Fang Zhengzhi knew about that. However, the world he saw was slightly odd. It was grey, or in other words, black and white.

Most importantly, the villagers around him were divided into two groups — one group was white and the other black.

Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.

He still could not hear what the villagers were saying. He only could see their mouths opened and shouting.

Fang Zhengzhi did not overthink because the only thought in his mind was to take revenge for Mister Mo Cheng, Village Chief Zhang Yangping and the 23 villagers on the Cang Ling Mountain.

However, at this moment…

Zhang Yangping, who always had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. It was a pair of eyes that was completely black without any white parts.
