Gate of God Chapter 839 - Devour Gifted Bloodline

Till now, Ping Yang could still remember a certain someone speaking about his experience with sneak attacks.

‘You want to learn about sneak attack?'

‘Hmm… Since you are so weak, it's good to learn about it to protect yourself. Listen up, sneak attack, as its name suggests, is about sneaking.'

‘Of course, it isn't about literally sneaking around. The essence of sneak attack is the element of surprise. Hence, in conclusion, the timing and procedure are extremely important. Then, it's about the target. Without a doubt, you must choose a vital point as the target.'

‘However, how many vitals points could a person have?'

‘The answer is too many. Having said that, the most obvious parts are the head, the throat, and the heart. Still, these parts are naturally most well-protected, so it would be extraordinarily difficult to hit them perfectly unless you could completely crush your opponent in terms of speed and power.'

‘But if you could really do that, why is there a need for sneak attack? You'd be able to beat them easily.'

‘Hence, if you want your sneak attack to be successful, you must choose a position that your opponent wouldn't expect, and it must be hard to protect at the same time.'

‘As for the exact position…'

‘You know it!'

Ping Yang had a strong learning ability, so she could still remember these classic quotes vividly. She could hear them like a siren ringing around her ears especially since it was time to put them to practice.

Boom!

Nangong Hao was sent flying backward. After all, Ping Yang's kick was so fast and so furious. She didn't hold back at all and exerted almost all of the strength she could muster. In addition, since she was so close to Nangong Hao, he couldn't dodge it no matter how powerful he was.

Blinded by lime powder and blasted by a powerful blow to his crotch, Nangong Hao flipped two complete rounds in the air before he landed. His legs were clamped together tightly and he was almost kneeling on the ground with a drop of sweat rolling off his forehead.

This turn of events took place too abruptly.

The entire process from the moment Ping Yang dashed out and sprinkled a handful of lime powder, till she sent Nangong Hao flying with a kick, took place within the blink of an eye.

“…”

“…”

The spectating disciples were left agape and dumbfounded by the turn of events.

Ping Yang launched a sneak attack on Nangong Hao… And, it actually worked?!

How could they believe that? Most importantly, Ping Yang was actually a Sage. Furthermore, she was also Great Xia Dynasty's princess and Ling Yun Tower's young master. Despite that, she actually blinded Nangong Hao with lime powder and struck him with a fast and furious ‘Groin Sweeping Kick'.

The disciples glanced at each other before they looked at Nangong Hao, who was half kneeling on the ground from pain. All of them felt a chill at their groins.

Their balls…

Hurt a little!

“Who… Did Yang'er learn these techniques from?” Even Qian Yu's mouth was wide open from disbelief.

“I definitely did not teach her about these kinds of stuff!” Lin Mubai trembled when he heard Qian Yu. He immediately shook his head and declared his innocence.

“Is it Fang Zhengzhi again?” Qian Yu shot him a chilling glare.

“…” Lin Mubai opened his mouth awkwardly. He really didn't know how to answer that question.

On the other hand, Nangong Tian, who was sitting at a corner quietly, suddenly stood up with burning anger written all over his face.

“Well done, Heaven Dao Pavilion. You're one of the renowned Five Sects of the Holy Region, yet you'd cooperate with Ling Yun Tower to sabotage my son… Furthermore, how could you use such a shameless and cunning tactic and make my son…”

“Father!” Nangong Hao's voice interrupted Nangong Tian. Then, with one hand against the ground, he slowly brought himself up.

“Hao'er, are you all right…”

“I'm fine.” Nangong Hao shook his head and slowly stood up straight. However, his eyes remained closed while he continued, “Since us, Nangong Nobles have decided to participate in this Heaven Alliance Meeting, we're already mentally prepared to fight against Ling Yun Tower. Now that Ling Yun Tower has made an early move, why don't Heaven Dao Pavilion and Ling Yun Tower come at me together to save the trouble.”

“Together?!”

“Save the trouble?!”

Nangong Hao wasn't loud, but all the surrounding disciples felt like they were struck by lightning after they heard him.

Vain!

That was the only word that everyone could think of.

“If you guys are ok with it, Shadow Sect and Yin Yang Hall can also fight me at the same time! I, Nangong Hao, have no objections!”

The ground suddenly trembled just as he said that. Then, with a loud bang, a crimson radiance that felt terrifyingly like solid matter burst out of his body and soared into the sky.

“Sage State!”

“Nangong Hao has entered Sage State too?!”

Although the spectating disciples were already mentally prepared, they were still stunned when they witnessed it.

The bloody light on Nangong Hao was especially shocking.

It was too creepy!

“Come on, let's settle this in a single fight!” Nangong Hao slowly opened his eyes at this moment. The lime powder on his face fell off completely and the crimson Blood Offering Illustration was rotating in his eyes continuously like two puddles of blood.

The black armor covering his body had completely solidified, and there were many complicated golden symbols glowing on the armor.

“He's so powerful!”

“I'm afraid that Nangong Hao is even stronger than Nangong Mu!”

Even though the disciples were standing outside the altar, they could clearly sense Nangong Hao's powerful aura.

They weren't the only ones. Even Mu Qingfeng felt like he wanted to take a step back at this moment. His expression changed because of that, and even his eyes lit up as he said, “Tian Xing's bloodline of the Heaven God has appeared on Nangong Hao. Does that mean that Nangong Hao is…”

“I'm afraid that he is as powerful as Tian Xing, or possibly… Even stronger!” Heaven Dao Pavilion's Great Elder who had stood behind Mu Qingfeng and remained silent all this while finally said something.

“Yup.” Mu Qingfeng nodded softly and fell silent again. However, he looked like he felt incredibly complicated as he stared at Nangong Hao intently.

The wind blew, and the situation in the altar seemed a little weird.

At this moment, Wu Yuer turned towards Yan Qing and said after some consideration, “Yan Qing, since Nangong Hao has warmly invited us, we shouldn't turn him down. Please bear with it!”

“Ok.” Yan Qing nodded as if he wasn't surprised by Wu Yuer's decision. He quickly stepped out of Shadow Sect's corner and entered the altar.

Meanwhile, at Yin Yang Hall's corner.

Dao Hun slowly looked to the side, but he was looking at Dao Xin instead of Yan Xiu.

“Since we could join whenever we want, it's safer to wait and see what happens.” Dao Xin replied softly.

“Ok.” Dao Hun nodded and looked away. He just sat there quietly without saying another word.

“Only three?” The bloody radiance on Nangong Hao's body surged. He looked at Yan Qing and pulled out Wuwei Sword slowly.

Qian Yu's eyes lit up when she saw Nangong Hao drawing his sword. Her lips moved and it seemed like she wanted to tell Ping Yang to come back. However, she didn't do that in the end.

“Sister Yan, you'd rest for a while first since you're injured. The two of us would be enough!” Ping Yang moved her Blazing Qilin Spear, and a crimson flame flared up on her body.

“No, you and Yan Qing… Aren't his match…” Chi Guyan shook her head. Blood flowed out of the corner of her mouth again as her body trembled. She was obviously hurt badly.

However, Yan Qing moved at this instance. He charged towards Nangong Hao without any hesitation.

“Ya, wait for me. Don't you know how to cooperate?” Ping Yang also rushed towards Nangong Hao rashly.

Nevertheless, Yan Qing managed to reach Nangong Hao first.

He threw a punch without any bells and whistles!

However, when his fist was less than an inch away from Nangong Hao, he suddenly disappeared without a trace.

At the meantime, a bloody light that looked like a puddle of blood appeared beneath Yan Qing's feet. It started flowing around and turned into a gigantic Blood Offering Illustration.

Boom! Yan Qing's body sank, and his punch which was directed towards Nangong Hao suddenly struck the ground. It felt like his fist was forcibly drawn towards the ground by an enormous force.

Yan Qing was startled by this sudden change.

He reacted almost instinctively and rolled towards the place that he hit just like a beast dashing forward.

Swoosh! A stream of bloody light brushed past his neck and landed on the ground, leaving behind an inch-long sword mark which was bottomless.

“He's so fast!”

“I can't even see him clearly!”

The surrounding disciples intuitively cried out in surprise when they saw this abnormal yet astoundingly fast scene playing out.

However, before they could even finish their sentence…

Yan Qing, who was pouncing forward, suddenly flew up and crashed towards the edge of the altar.

“What's going on?!”

“What happened?”

The spectating disciples couldn't react at all, after all, from their point of view, Yan Qing should have avoided Nangong Hao's sword.

It was obvious that they weren't strong enough to see this fight clearly.

However, Mu Qingfeng, Mo Shanshi, and the other experts clearly saw that Yan Qing failed to avoid Nangong Hao's kick after dodging his sword.

Roar! Yan Qing roared like a beast. His eyes turn blood-red instantly and he started scanning his surrounding area.

However, it was all in vain. While he was scanning his surrounding area, a stream of bloody light appeared on his right again.

Yan Qing's expression changed.

Having grown up alongside wild beasts since he was young, he could instinctively detect danger. Even though he didn't see the bloody light, he could sense the incoming danger.

Swoosh! The bloody light brushed past his neck again and left a mark on the ground. Yan Qing had already pounced forward once again.

However, Nangong Hao's kick didn't send him flying this time, because there was a sword that stapled his right leg to the ground.

Boom!

Yan Qing, who was already lying on the ground, sank even deeper. Cracks started appearing on the altar below his body.

It was a punch.

A punch that came from behind.

How powerful was a punch like that? In all likelihood, only someone who had personally experienced it could understand. However, Yan Qing's expression was indifferent.

His expression…

Seemed to suggest that he couldn't feel pain at all.

Roar!!! Yan Qing bellowed like a beast again. He completely disregarded the blood flowing out of his mouth and the sword on his right leg. His hands pressed against the ground and he kicked back swiftly with his left leg.

He wanted to injure Nangong Hao at the cost of his own injuries.

Slash! The sword that pierced through his right leg suddenly disappeared at this moment. Then, a figure appeared at five steps away from Yan Qing.

He was wearing a black armor covered with glowing, golden ripples. A bloody radiance was flowing in his eyes.

It was Nangong Hao.

“Indestructible Body? Hmm… Not bad.” Nangong Hao glanced at Yan Qing. Blood dripped off his Wuwei Sword and flowed into the Blood Offering Illustration on the ground.

As soon as those blood entered the Blood Offering Illustration, a bloody radiance lit up Nangong Hao's body. Then, his body started making bone cracking sounds.

It felt like his entire body was being restructured. As the bone cracking sounds continued, his muscles started transforming and a radiance appeared on his skin.

“What's that?!”

“Devour, Nangong Hao is devouring the Indestructible Body!” A Heaven Dao Pavilion's elder was shocked and horrified when he saw that.

“Oh crap, Nangong Hao already has the Heaven God's bloodline, if he also gains the Indestructible Body… Wouldn't that…” Another elder trembled at this moment.

Heaven Dao Pavilion's elders weren't the only people who were stunned.

All the elders from the other four sects of the Holy Region also opened their eyes wide from astonishment.

At this moment, almost everyone was shocked to his core. Even Fu Xi Valley's Valley Master, Mo Shanshi, who had remained seated so far, as well as Dao Hun and Dao Xin and the rest, stood up at this moment.

“Nangong Hao could actually devour Gifted Bloodline!” Mo Shanshi's eyes were wide open because even with his experience, he had never seen something so abnormal before.
