Gate of God 917 Now You Know My Name

After being punched and kicked on the face by a random individual who appeared out of nowhere, she was insulted and sneered at. No matter how good her state of mind was or how much she wanted to go along with her initial plans, she could no longer follow the rule to not have an internal conflict with another Godly State expert.

After all, she was a superior Godly State expert.

If she was not moved and convinced by Yun Qingwu's ideology, how could she possibly obey Yun Qingwu given her powers?

"The Young Empress' plan was to eliminate the Southern Region and I am the person who was supposed to carry it out. If I killed this person before his identity was known, even if Young Empress found out afterwards, she shouldn't blame me for it, right?" Lin Ji had made her decision and therefore would no longer show mercy. She punched the figure with all her might.

Meanwhile, the two Settlement Chiefs who were surrounded by the Demon soldiers watched with complicated emotions.

Save Shan Yu?

It was impossible given their capabilities.

However, who exactly was the figure in front of them, why did he choose to save Shan Yu and why was he tying down Shan Yu again were questions that had not been answered.

As long as there were unknowns, there would be way too many turn in events.

The two Settlement Chiefs wanted to save Shan Yu but they knew that given their capabilities, they could barely escape the surround by the Demon soldiers.

What should they do?

"Kill all of the soldiers of the Southern Region!" While they were hesitating, an extremely chilling voice echoed through the night sky.

"Yes!" The Demon soldiers raised their weapons again and started attacking the two Settlement Chiefs.

"Fight!" The two Settlement Chiefs looked at each other. They felt helpless because they knew that Lin Ji made the command.

This cold-blooded Monster lady!

The Monster lady who killed the past King of the Southern Region with her own hands in the Sagely Mountain City!

Furthermore…

They were too weak to stop Lin Ji and protect Shan Yu. They probably could not even last till the end of the battle.

However, they never gave up. That was the spirit of the Southern Region, as long as they are still alive and breathing, they would never surrender.

The sounds of battle were heard.

The battle between the two Settlement Chiefs and the Demon soldiers began again.

On the other hand, Shan Yu's eyes welled up in tears as she looked at Yan Ya who had collapsed on the ground and the two other Settlement Chiefs who were surrounded by Demon soldiers. Her heart was bleeding and she wanted to dash forward to save the remaining three Settlement Chiefs of the Southern Region, but the powerful black silk threads that had permeated into her body was too strong and restricted her movements.

"Ah!!!" Shan Yu roared. There were bright red flames in her black eyes.

As the Queen of the Southern Region, she could not bear to see the Southern Region fall in her own hands and the Settlement Chiefs die in front of her own eyes.

This type of agony…

Was even more intense than dying.

The intense agony caused her entire body to tremble as she clenched her fist tightly until her knuckles cracked.

It was an involuntary action.

However, when she did it, she was shocked.

"Hmm?! I… can move?!" As this thought flashed across Shan Yu's mind, she took a step forward.

Then, she began to move.

As a meteor that was ablaze, she charged towards the three Settlement Chiefs with an incredible speed.

She was too fast.

So fast that Shan Yu was stunned.

At the instant when she charged forward, the power of the black silk surged from her body and solidified to form a black Heart Protection Mirror on her chest.

Boom! A loud sound exploded behind Shan Yu's back. It was certain that Lin Ji had began a fight with the figure.

However, this was no longer important to Shan Yu now because the Heart Protection Mirror that had formed gave her a sense of empowerment and safety…

As though someone was protecting her beside her, there was warmth in her heart.

"Who… on earth is he?!" Shan Yu did not look back and continued charging towards the front while two black daggers flashed past her hands.

"Yan Ya, you have to hold on!"

Swoosh!

The two black daggers began to spin amongst the Demon soldiers, making loud sounds for every spin, slicing apart weapons and severing heads.

…

Lin Ji's emotions could not be described by words.

It was neither because of Shan Yu's sudden breakthrough nor her strange but explosive battle tactic. It was because she felt that her train of thoughts were seen through by someone else when her fist collided with that of the figure's.

It felt extremely clear.

As though as there was a pair of eyes staring from her back.

This was the second time Lin Ji felt this way. During the first time, she thought there was someone behind her and got distracted, causing her to neglect the foot that kicked her face.

This time, Lin Ji would definitely not be distracted. However, she felt extremely uncomfortable as though she was fighting against more than one person.

"Have you heard of a legend?" The figure floated to a position that was five steps away from Lin Ji. He stretched out one of his hand while the other was placed behind his back.

"Rubbish!" Lin Ji charged forward again and refused to listen to the figure. However, she could still feel the immense powers of the figure after the collision with him. It was a terrifying strength that felt like the vast ocean, it terrified her a little.

Who on earth was he?

Who exactly was this guy who was masked with a black cloth with the word "God" sewn on it?

Lin Ji ran through her memory quickly, not because she wanted to identify the figure in front of her, but she needed to know his capability to win. After all, every Godly State expert had an unique skill.

For example, the Space-splitting Demon God was able to temporarily leave the current space and enter another space with the fastest speed possible.

As for Lin Yu who was also a Demon…

He had a different skill from the Space-splitting Demon God.

With different skills, their battle tactic would naturally be different. Lin Ji had to understand the tactic of the figure in front of her.

"You really never heard of the legend?" The voice of the figure was heard again. It sounded slightly disappointed.

Boom!

Lin Ji's fist collided with the figure's fist again. The outcome was obvious, with an absolute advantage, Lin Ji's punch caused the figure's body to fly.

However, despite this outcome, Lin Ji frowned because she felt the strange sensation again.

Most importantly…

The figure in front of her did not have any intention to fight head-on with her. It felt as though he was trying to tease with her.

"You have been to the Blood Shadow City, so you should know that there is a sword mark in the Blood Shadow City. Do you not want to know how it came about?" The figure continued to speak.

"Hmph, of course I know." Lin Ji snorted coldly. The legend that the figure was talking about was too childish and absurd.

Although the incident that created the sword mark happened after she was trapped in the galaxy, everyone in the Blood Shadow City knew about the origin of it.

Lin Ji, a lady of the Monster Race who was born to be a busybody, definitely knew about it.

Yet the guy in front of him was trying to fool around with her using the legend of the sword mark in the Blood Shadow City, how absurd!

Wait a minute!

How did he know about the incident of me entering the Blood Shadow City and the sword mark in the Blood Shadow City?

Unless he was not an ancient Godly State expert who descended from the Gate of God of the Realm of Monsters and Demons?

Just as Lin Ji was about to ask the figure how did he know about it, the figure had already moved.

Instead of retreating, he attacked.

After continuously retreating twice, the figure charged towards her with a tree branch in his hand.

"Tree branch?!" Lin Ji widened her eyes. As a Godly State expert, she ought to have the right to be arrogant and look down on her opponents.

However, what kind of experience was it for her to witness her opponent charge towards her with a tree branch that was casually obtained from a tree?

Nobody knew. However, Lin Ji's face was extremely black. It was not because of the scales, it was genuinely black.

"Some legends are not real!" The figure spoke again before he vanished.

At the next moment, the figure appeared at another position.

At a position which was extremely near to Lin Ji.

More specifically, at a position that was less than one feet away, right in front of Lin Ji.

"Die!!!" Lin Ji was somewhat stunned because the figure's speed was so fast that it was close to the speed of teleportation. However, being experienced in the ancient battlefield, she did not panic in such situations.

Moreover, she was a Monster.

Why would she be worried about a heart injury?

Following an explosive sound, the black scales on Lin Ji's body grew explosively, pricking in all directions around her body like sharp thorns.

Close combat!

The forte of the Monster race!

Lin Ji has been waiting for a chance to have a close combat with the figure. However, she was worried because the figure did not have that intention initially.

However, she was not too surprised by his actions.

After all…

Nobody would be foolish enough to have a close combat with a Monster.

However, everything that happened afterward seemed to explain something. Her opponent knew too much for an individual who had just landed in this world. Therefore, she could not help but was confused.

Yet now, her confusion seemed to be explained.

How would Lin Ji not be surprised by the fact that her opponent chose to close combat?

Crack! The tree branch that was aimed at Lin Ji's heart was broken by her black scales and turned into wood dust.

Lin Ji smiled.

There were no loopholes in her defense tactic. Every single part of her body was covered in scales and every scale was her sharpest weapon.

Tree branch?

Penetrate her body?

Rather than calling it a daydream, it would be more suitable to call it a joke.

Lin Ji laughed in disdain but her laughter did not last long. That was because a hand came towards her face the instant her scales started pricking outwards.

Slapping the face?!

Lin Ji wanted to ask the opponent, do you have a f*cking problem? Why choose to slap a lady's face out of all places? How shameless was that?

As a lady, Lin Ji was overly concerned with her appearance, hence she did not cover her face with scales.

That had become the only flaw on her body.

However as the saying went, 'do not do things more than three times'.

How could Lin Ji allow such things to happen again?

This time, she would not allow the hand to touch her beautiful face. Although the hand was extremely fast and she did not have the time to cover her face with scales, she could dodge.

By taking a small step backward, she had sufficient time.

Lin Ji dodged.

She dodged without any hesitation.

However, the instant when she took a step back and covered her face with the scales, a sharp sensation was felt on her forehead.

Buzz! It was the 'finger sword attack', where the finger was used as a sword. It was not a superior move as almost every single Sage could do it.

However the finger sword attack caused Lin Ji to tremble violently as her entire face froze and her eyes widened as though her entire body was no longer hers.

"Now, I will tell you my name. My surname is Meng and my name is Tian!" A gentle voice was clearly heard in the night sky.
