Gate of God Chapter 842 - You Are Really Weak

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

As they heard the disdainful voice, Nangong Hao flew to the side and crashed on the edge of the altar like a cannonball.

Boom! Rubbles flew and the soaring bloody light disappeared.

This was definitely an unexpected scene. At the very least, more than half of the spectating disciples were still focused on the lightning falling from the sky before Nangong Hao was sent flying.

However…

While they were busy looking at the lightning, Nangong Hao had already flown away. It was so sudden that they couldn't comprehend what had happened.

“Diversionary tactic?!”

“All of these lightning bolts is a… Diversionary tactic?”

They couldn't believe that this big hoo-ha was just a diversionary tactic.

‘That's so wasteful!'

This was the first thought in their minds.

This thought had naturally crossed Nangong Hao's mind as well, even if it was just a split second. However, he had clearly heard Fang Zhengzhi.

“Diversionary tactic?” Nangong Hao stared at Fang Zhengzhi, who was now standing at the spot that he had stood on just now. Although it wasn't too obvious, he seemed a little astonished. At the very least, he no longer looked as calm as before, since there was a little dirt on his face now.

Just as Nangong Hao was about to stand up, his expression changed again. As compared to his astonishment just now, he looked much grimmer this time.

That was because he felt an exceptionally terrifying sense of crisis, which was as uncomfortable as sitting on a bunch of needles. Furthermore, he could feel that it was extremely close to him.

Boom!

The entire Heaven's Peak shook after it was hit by countless bolts of lightning. Each one of them brought along violent wind and storm, and all of them struck the edge of the altar, where Nangong Hao was.

“Hao'er!” Nangong Tian cried out in shock. He was awfully pale at this moment even though he looked calm just a moment ago.

“What's going on?!”

“How did the lightning…”

“Isn't that a diversionary tactic?”

The intense tremor made the surrounding disciples fall back intuitively. However, all of them looked puzzled and stunned.

“Diversionary tactic? You guys are really naive. Did you really think that an honest man like myself would do something so wasteful? That's impossible. Thriftiness and frugality are great traditional virtues!” Fang Zhengzhi answered the disciples' doubts in a contemptuous tone.

“…”

“Honest man?”

“Thriftiness and frugality are great traditional virtues…”

“…”

If there were different kinds of speechlessness in this word, one of them must be not knowing what to say, or rather, too ashamed to say anything.

That was how the surrounding disciples felt at this moment.

When Fang Zhengzhi started the massive hoo-ha but ended up sending Nangong Hao flying with a kick, they were dumbstruck because they felt like their intelligence were flattened.

Now?

They felt that it was more than their intelligence that was flattened. It was a heartfelt humiliation which made them angry and ashamed, and at the meantime, they felt like they couldn't stand tall anymore.

It wasn't a diversionary tactic!

There wasn't any diversionary tactic since the beginning. In other words, Fang Zhengzhi did that to trick them into thinking that he was using a diversionary tactic.

It was so shameless!

However, it also frightening and spine-chilling.

The most important factor in a fight between two experts wasn't the difference in their strength, because it would be negligible at their level.

Hence, it was most important to predict and control the tide of the battle.

Fang Zhengzhi had managed to achieve that. Nevertheless, it was unimaginable that he had done that with his first move.

Illusion could be the reality, and reality could also be an illusion!

“Fang Zhengzhi is good! Elder Gu, if you were in Nangong Hao's place, could you have stopped that?” Mo Shanshi's expression kept changing as he looked at Fang Zhengzhi.

“Well… I'm afraid… Not!” Gu Yuan shook his. Even though he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't alter the truth.

‘Yup, even I'd fall prey to him, not to mention you!” Mo Shanshi nodded softly after he heard Gu Yuan.

As the conversation between them ended, the lightning falling from the sky finally dissipated. The rubbles on the ground looked like they were slashed by blades.

This scene left the spectating disciples slack-jawed. They couldn't understand how lightning bolts were able to damage the ground like this.

Of course, that wasn't important anymore. At the very least, it wasn't the most important thing at the moment because there was no one amidst the rubbles.

Nangong Hao had disappeared.

“He disappeared?!”

“Did the lightning tear to him to shreds?”

“That's impossible!”

The disciples couldn't believe it because Nangong Hao shouldn't be so weak.

“Young master Fang, what are you looking at?” While they were feeling confused, a voice suddenly appeared behind Fang Zhengzhi.

At the meantime, a black figure slowly appeared behind his back.

Nangong Hao!

Almost everyone's heart skipped a beat at this moment because no one expected Nangong Hao to counterattack so quickly after he was blasted by so many lightning bolts.

Furthermore, he used an identical move.

‘Freak!'

‘Both of them are freaks!'

That was everyone's first thought.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi's lips curled into a smile as if he couldn't sense the approaching danger. He kept his head up and said, “Today's weather is really fine. The sun is bright and the clouds are changing constantly just like the Dao of All Creation. However, is the Dao of All Creation simply about changes? I don't think so, I believe that apart from changes, the Dao of All Creation has another…”

Boom!

Right on the heels of the loud bang, the black figure behind Fang Zhengzhi disappeared without a trace. Then, it appeared five steps behind him in the next moment.

“Young Master Fang is shameless as always. I seemed to have fallen for your trick again.” Nangong Hao gently wiped away the dust on his body and the shoeprint on his face.

“It's not counted this time.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.

“Oh, why's that?” Nangong Hao sounded puzzled.

“Because I'd tell you the rest of the sentence.” Fang Zhengzhi smiled sincerely.

“Hmm, if that's the case, it would not be counted indeed. Young Master Fang, please enlighten me.” Nangong Hao nodded when he heard Fang Zhengzhi.

“Did you really believe that?” Fang Zhengzhi shot Nangong Hao an astonished look.

“…” Nangong Hao's lips moved and his entire body trembled. Although he had regained his composure, his face turned red again subconsciously.

Of course, Nangong Hao wasn't the only one who reacted that way.

All the surrounding disciples' faces turned beet red as well. They really wanted to curse at Fang Zhengzhi and tell him, ‘You can be shameless, but you can't be this shameless!'

“Ai… I'm afraid that no one could remain composed against this boy. After all, I doubt that there would be another person as shameless as him in this word!” Qian Yu shook her head and exclaimed. She also felt a little speechless at this moment.

“How could such a shameless bastard who runs his mouth be qualified to lead the all the heroes in the world?” Nangong Tian exclaimed at this moment and he looked equally ashamed and angered.

“Head of Nangong family seems to be well-versed with ‘taunting tactics' too, right?' Mu Qingfeng glanced at Nangong Tian and replied.

“Taunting tactic is one thing, but such shameless…”

“They might be different tactics, but they share the same purpose. Furthermore, it seemed to have worked extraordinarily well, since the head of Nangong family has lost his cool too. Isn't that right?” Mu Qingfeng interrupted Nangong Tian.

“Hmph!” Nangong Tian sneered and didn't say another word. However, the anger in his expression disappeared in an instant and he regained his composure.

In fact, there was no way he would be agitated by Fang Zhengzhi's tactic. He was just trying to make the rest angry.

However…

Mu Qingfeng obviously saw through his intention.

Heaven Alliance Meeting.

Five Sects of the Holy Region, Four Great Empires, as well as sects of all scales in the world had gathered. Although the Martial Arts Competition was the highlight of this occasion, there was an emotional undercurrent amidst the different forces apart from the contestants on the altar.

“By the way, you seem to have gotten weaker since I last saw you half a year ago!” Fang Zhengzhi continued since Nangong Hao kept quiet.

“Really? I don't think so” Nangong Hao shook his head and intuitively took a step forward and got closer to Fang Zhengzhi.

“But I did kick you just now, didn't I?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled and took a step forward. It felt like two friends who were meeting each other.

“What if I told that I let you kick me on purpose, would you believe that?” Nangong Hao took another step.

“I don't!” Fang Zhengzhi also moved another step forward.

“Haha, you'd…” Nangong Hao didn't finish his sentence because he had already moved. Since they were one step away from each other, the first to move obviously had the advantage. Hence, he took the opportunity without any hesitation.

He threw a punch.

A bloody light rose.

The Blood Offering Illustration on the ground that was formed from blood suddenly grew incredibly bright in an instant. The eight exceptionally complicated symbols were even glowing creepily.

Boom! Two fists collided.

Fang Zhengzhi didn't avoid the attack this time. He also threw a punch in an almost identical fashion when Nangong Hao attacked him.

However, it was eerie because his eyes became completely transparent when he threw that punch as if there was nothing in his eyes.

Crack! The ground shook and cracks started appeared beneath their feet and spread in all directions like the pattern on a turtle's shell.

A brutal aura was rampaging between them.

“I didn't expect that the eldest son of Nangong Nobles's main family became a monster!” Fang Zhengzhi smiled as the strong wind rampaged around him. However, there wasn't much change in his expression.

“Young Master Fang, didn't you become a monster too?” Nangong Hao looked equally composed.

“Obviously I didn't. However, your reply confirmed the fact that you yourself believe that you're a monster too, right?” Fang Zhengzhi replied with a question.

“Young Master Fang is slick as usual, however…” Nangong Hao didn't finish his sentence because he saw Fang Zhengzhi's condescending and scornful expression.

It wasn't just a pretense. Those were his heartfelt emotions.

“Did he…” Nangong Hao intuitively took a step back, but as soon as he did that, a vast and mighty force as powerful as the ocean came crashing down on him.

It was a force that he couldn't resist.

It was ridiculously powerful!

So powerful that Nangong Hao felt his heart trembling!

Boom! The ground beneath his feet completely collapsed. A bottomless hole appeared below him and ripped a massive opening on the Blood Offering Illustration.

“Actually, I've been honest all along. You've really become weaker!” Fang Zhengzhi's eyes were no longer transparent all of a sudden. Instead, a dazzling radiance appeared.

It was a flickering golden radiance!

This was a sudden change in development.

However, Nangong Hao was sent flying as soon as it took place. Furthermore, he was entangled by many coils of golden radiance at the same time.

Swoosh!

Golden radiance revolved around Nangong Hao's body rapidly. They pierced through his body again and again like a bunch of sharp golden swords.

They were ceaseless and endless.

“It's Million Sword Illustration!” A hint of surprise appeared on Chi Guyan's pale face. She could naturally tell that the golden radiance revolving around Nangong Hao's body was Million Sword Illustration.

However, what she couldn't tell what…

When did Fang Zhengzhi use the Million Sword Illustration?

It was too sudden!

Everything seemed so peaceful since Fang Zhengzhi and Nangong Hao started fighting each other, even though everyone could tell that there was a hidden storm brewing.

However, the weird thing was…

No one could understand how the storm appeared.

How did Million Sword Illustration hit Nangong Hao?

There wasn't any radiance when Fang Zhengzhi's and Nangong Hao's fists collided.

The surrounding disciples weren't the only ones feeling puzzled. Even Chi Guyan furrowed her brows from astonishment because she couldn't figure out how Fang Zhengzhi managed to hit Nangong Hao with Million Sword Illustration.
