Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1335: Chapter 1334: Hehehe, Burn It Well...

Although Fang Zheng’s sudden appearance startled the Witch Queen, she still shook her head once she gathered herself.

”No way, if I leave just like this, wouldn’t it prove that I’m that Fallen Nation Sorceress as they say? If my life can bring peace to this country, then... my death would be worth it.”

”But it won’t help.”

Looking at the Witch Queen in front of him, Fang Zheng shrugged.

”Even after you died, the White Miao and the Black Miao fought for more than a decade. Now the Black Miao Tribe is attacking Dali City. If you don’t return, your family will be wiped out!”

”What?!”

Hearing this, the Witch Queen finally lost her composure. After all, she was also a member of the White Miao Tribe; how could she not care about them?

”Young man, who exactly are you?”

”Oh, let me introduce myself. My name is Fang Zheng, I’m from ten years in the future, and I’m currently Ling’er’s teacher... hmm, she’s already back in Dali now, waiting to meet her mother.”

”Ling’er’s... teacher...?”

The Witch Queen wasn’t quite accustomed to Fang Zheng’s modern way of speaking, so it took her a moment to process it.

”How is Ling’er now? Is she doing well?”

”The little girl is quite healthy, and doing well, just feels sorry that she’s without her parents... So, are you leaving or not? I can only stay in this time for thirteen minutes... Can’t we talk about this after we get back?”

However, just as Fang Zheng finished speaking, a voice rang out.

”None of you are going anywhere!”

Fang Zheng turned around to see an old man dressed in a quirky style, leading several Black Miao Tribe soldiers who rushed over aggressively, glaring at him and the Witch Queen.

”As expected, I guessed someone would come to jailbreak. You’re quite boldness, Wang, see, this is definitely that Witch Woman’s accomplice!”

As he spoke, the old man glanced at the man in black beside him, while the man in black silently walked over, gazing at the Witch Queen in front of him.

”Qing’er...”

”Wang...”

Looking at the Witch King in front of her, the Witch Queen’s expression became extraordinarily complicated. And seeing the Witch Queen, the Witch King wore a look of sorrow like a man who saw his wife cheating with Old Wang next door, softly inquiring.

”Qing’er, are you really going to betray me?”

”Wang, you’ve misunderstood me, I really am not...”

However, before the Witch Queen could finish her sentence, the Witch King cut her off.

”They all say that you’re not a human but a yokai. Tell me, should I trust you?”

Hearing this, the Witch Queen also looked depressed.

”My loyalty to Wang is clear as day and known by all divine beings, I would never intend harm on Wang!!”

”...........”

However, watching this third-rate soap opera unfold, Fang Zheng scratched his head and turned to the Witch Queen.

”Witch Queen, um... I have a question. Is this the Witch King? Your husband? He should be... human, right?”

”Of course, young man, what do you mean by that?”

The Witch Queen immediately frowned at Fang Zheng, while Fang Zheng shrugged.

”Oh, nothing, it’s just that I see this Witch King clearly turned into a yokai... I thought there might be some hidden story here. You guys continue...”

”What?!”

Hearing this, the Witch Queen’s expression changed drastically, turning to stare at the Witch King.

”He, how could he be a yokai?”

Seriously, Witch Queen without the Celestial Serpent Staff, are you this clueless?

Fang Zheng clearly remembered in the game the Witch Queen once told Li Xiaoyao that the Witch King kept her Celestial Serpent Staff to prevent her from casting spells. But, seriously, Witch Queen, you’re a descendant of Nuwa, and you can’t even distinguish if he’s human or yokai without the Celestial Serpent Staff?

Did you graduate from Hogwarts?

”If you don’t believe me, I’ll prove it to you.”

Fang Zheng was in a hurry and didn’t waste words. Holding the Pitch Black Greatsword, he swung at the Witch King, and with a flash of the sword light, the Witch King’s head flew high. The next moment, accompanied by a scream, the Witch King’s body began to twist and turn into a creature resembling a treant.

”This, this is...”

Seeing this, even the dim-witted Witch Queen realized, furiously glaring at the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader and questioning.

”What on earth is going on?!”

”You, you dare to kill the Witch King?”

And the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader was also dumbfounded, showing a furious expression at Fang Zheng, yet Fang Zheng merely dug his ear lazily.

”Witch King? This is clearly a yokai, right? Heh heh, weren’t you just saying the Witch Queen is a sorceress causing chaos in the Black Miao Tribe? Now you throw this rotten wood out and tell others he’s the Witch King of the Black Miao Tribe. You see how many will believe you?”

”You... you actually dare to do such a thing! Where is the real king!”

At this moment, the Witch Queen was also glaring angrily at the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader, who let out a cold laugh.

”The real king? I’ll send you to see him, and then you’ll know!!”

”What!”

Faced with the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader’s reply, the Witch Queen’s face suddenly changed drastically.

So it was like this all along.

Hearing this, Fang Zheng already understood the tricks of the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader. Obviously, initially, he couldn’t deal with the Witch Queen, so he deliberately manipulated the Witch King to take away the Celestial Serpent Staff from the Witch Queen. But no matter what, the two were a deeply affectionate couple. What if one day the Witch King got overwhelmed by love and suddenly returned the Celestial Serpent Staff to the Witch Queen, wouldn’t the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader be in trouble?

So the best way was to kill the Witch King after he took the Celestial Serpent Staff and then find a Yokai to impersonate the Witch King — anyway, without the Celestial Serpent Staff, the Witch Queen would be as weak as a Muggle, so she wouldn’t notice the deception.

So the Witch Queen was too naive; she couldn’t even play such a simple trick against the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader, no wonder she ended up dying so miserably.

”Alright, no last words? Then go to hell.”

Fang Zheng was not bothered to waste any more words, as time was tight, and he was waiting to make his escape. So, Fang Zheng swiftly raised his sword, and a burst of flame erupted, suddenly charging towards the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader and his men. Seeing the surging flames, the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader’s face changed drastically, then he gritted his teeth and crushed the Magic Wand in his hand with force.

”Boom!!”

At that moment, a massive shadow suddenly rushed out from the pool in the dungeon, blocking the rolling Primordial Fire. Soon, as the firelight diminished, an eight-headed giant snake emerged from the midst, opening its mouths to unleash an angry roar at Fang Zheng.

Seeing this creature, the Witch Queen was also shocked.

”This is... an Evil Beast? You actually raised an Evil Beast; do you know what a severe disaster this could bring?!”

”Hmph, it would just bring some floods, anyway. Moreover, everyone believes you are the demon causing the havoc... Water Monster, kill them!!”

After saying this, the Moon-Worshiping Cult Leader hurriedly left, leaving the Water Monster to block their path.

”Please be careful.”

At this moment, the Witch Queen’s expression became increasingly serious.

”This is an Ancient Beast; ordinary people cannot easily...”

However, before the Witch Queen could finish her sentence, Fang Zheng suddenly flashed and dashed up to the Water Monster. Seeing Fang Zheng charging towards it, the Water Monster opened its wide mouth, letting out a bizarre cry. Quickly, bone-chilling air rapidly solidified, carrying an extreme deathly coldness, rushing towards Fang Zheng!

”Watch out!!”

Seeing this, the Witch Queen hurriedly shouted; she wanted to step forward to help, but without the Celestial Serpent Staff in her hand, she couldn’t even perform ’Disarm’... well, she couldn’t do it in the first place.

But then, something that left the Witch Queen dumbfounded happened.

The Water Monster’s full-on attack did not hit Fang Zheng at all; on the contrary, its attack seemed to pass through Fang Zheng’s body as if he were transparent and intangible. Holding his Pitch Black Greatsword tightly, Fang Zheng fiercely swung it at the Water Monster in front of him, engulfed in blazing flames!

”Boom!!!”

The forty-meter-long Flame Blade descended like a baseball bat from the sky, slamming the Water Monster down to the ground. Then, Fang Zheng landed and swept across, accompanied by a heavy thud, the Water Monster was sent flying, landing heavily on the ground, and then it raised its head and let out a whining ”ow ow”...

At this moment, Fang Zheng walked over with a sinister smile.

”Hehehe, don’t be afraid, it will only hurt at first... just burn for a while...”

”Ooh ooh—!!”

Was the Water Monster... afraid?

Watching the shivering Water Monster, the Witch Queen was astounded. She knew that the Water Monster was an Ancient Beast, capable of thriving in water and quite terrifying. In legends, it only ever brought disaster and fear to others, and she had never seen the Water Monster itself terrified like this.

”Come on, good boy, don’t be afraid... hehehe...”

Drooling, Fang Zheng raised the Pitch Black Greatsword and then gave a fierce stab at the Water Monster. The giant sword instantly plunged into the Water Monster’s body, and the next moment, flames roared up!!!

”Ooowooo—!!!”

Accompanied by screams, the Water Monster’s body began to shrivel rapidly, and soon, a powerful stream of pure Divine Power surged through the flames into Fang Zheng’s body.

Indeed, burn well... a bit more... burn it all clean!

”Beep beep—!”

However, just as Fang Zheng was about to continue incinerating the Water Monster completely, his system alarm sounded again.

”Warning, warning, detected the plane core is about to be damaged, warning...”

Tsk, as expected.

Seeing this, Fang Zheng clicked his tongue, realizing he still needed to use ”orthodox methods” to weaken the Water Monster first and then burn it clean afterward.

Besides, the time is almost up...

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng immediately withdrew his sword, retreated, and grabbed the Witch Queen’s hand.

”Time is short; we’ll finish burning the rest when we return. Let’s go!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them instantly vanished into the air, disappearing without a trace.
