Gate of God

Yan Xiu did not speak. Some words didn’t need to be said. He believed that Fang Zhengzhi could do it as well, despite the fact that it was something almost impossible to achieve.

“Unfounded trust. You are all just unsatisfied with this result,” The woman spoke once again. Following which, she cast her gaze in the direction of the palace and said, “It has been half an hour, I should be going.”

“Wait a minute!” Fang Zhengzhi’s voice rose again, “You have not answered me. Why would you not stop Ping Yang despite knowing that she would die!”

“Why should I?” The woman then retracted her steps and cast a menacingly glance at Ping Yang, “She should not be alive. She shouldn’t even be born in the first place.”

“Shouldn’t be born?” Fang Zhengzhi frowned as he said.

“That’s right, her birth was a mistake. What I am doing is to merely correct the mistake made decades ago. It might not be a bad thing for her,” The woman said.

“Correcting a mistake? If I am not wrong, you are merely a messenger. You do not have the authority to make this decision!” Fang Zhengzhi hollered as he cast his gaze on the woman.

“You are truly intelligent. However, even if I am just a messenger, I have my own way of doing things. For example, I could have arrived late and Ping Yang is already dead,” The woman smiled as she said.

“Is that so? What if Ping Yang is not dead?” Fang Zhengzhi smirked as he said. A faint smile appeared on his face.

“Not dead?” The woman shuddered for a moment as she looked at Fang Zhengzhi. In an instant, a thought flashed through her mind. She shouted, “Fang Zhengzhi, don’t you dare!”

It was too late to stop his actions.

This was because Fang Zhengzhi had grabbed the Demon Pearl that Wu Yuer brought over and stuffed it into Ping Yang’s mouth without any hesitation as he was speaking.

Boom! The thunder rumbled.

Lightning flashed across the sky and illuminated Ping Yang’s startled expression, as well as the horrified expression on the woman’s face. The Yan Cloud Calvary, Mountain Breaking Army, and Northern Barbarian Army also watched in shock.

All of their gazes were drawn to Fang Zhengzhi at that moment.

“Fang Zhengzhi gave the Demon Pearl to Princess Ping Yang?”

“A person like him would give the Demon Pearl to the Princess?”

“Does he not want to live? He only has half a year left. Without the Demon Pearl, how could he become a saint?”

They had heard the woman’s words and thus had a good understanding of Fang Zhengzhi’s predicament. He only had half a year left and the Demon Pearl was his last ray of hope.

As she had mentioned, it was almost impossible to become a saint in three years.

However, Fang Zhengzhi was a guy who exceeded expectations at every corner. He had proved all these years that he could achieve the impossible.

Hence, when Wu Yuer and Shan Yu claimed that hey believed Fang Zhengzhi, everyone else kept silent.

However, to think that Fang Zhengzhi would give his only hope to Ping Yang!

They could not believe it.

“Fang Zhengzhi, what are you doing? This is your last ray of hope, take the Demon Pearl out!” Wu Yuer reacted after a moment and reached out for Ping Yang’s neck.

She naturally knew what Fang Zhengzhi was doing.

A Demon Pearl was the source of the Demon King’s power. Even if one were to only carry it around with him, he would achieve a greater integration with the heavens and earth.

The effect of consuming it could not even be imagined.

The extreme use of a Demon Pearl was to consume it. It contained the powers of a Demon King, allowing one to obtain the rejuvenation abilities and vitality of a Demon King for a short period of time.

However, no one would do that under normal circumstances.

It was too wasteful! It was akin to using a thousand-year-old ginseng root to treat the small flu. Why would anyone do that?

Though Fang Zhengzhi just did.

Without any hesitation.

Wu Yuer was fast. However, another person was even faster. It was the woman standing in front of the light pillar. The moment she saw Fang Zhengzhi put the Demon Pearl into Ping Yang’s mouth, she dashed forward and covered the distance between Fang Zhengzhi and her in a split second.

She then drove her palm down towards Fang Zhengzhi.

Ping Yang was shocked. However, she had also realized what was going on. A faint smile then appeared on her face as her lifeless eyes glimmered with a ray of joy.

She had never imagined Fang Zhengzhi would do such a thing.

But he did. He did so without hesitation or regret. That would be enough for her.

Thank you, you shameless guy!

Ping Yang felt a tear roll down her cheeks. She wanted to see her mother one time before she died. However, if this would come at the expense of Fang Zhengzhi becoming a saint, she could not bring herself to do it.

She opened her mouth slightly and released the Demon Pearl from the warm embrace of her lips.

The moment the Demon Pearl left her lips, Ping Yang felt a soft sensation on her mouth. The Demon Pearl then went back into the mouth.

Ping Yang’s eyes widened as she stared at the face in front of her. She could feel a strong pressure covering her lips, preventing the Demon Pearl from escaping. It was Fang Zhengzhi’s lips!

Her body tensed up for a moment before she quickly reacted. Following which, she started struggling.

At the same time, she felt a weird sensation in her chest. It was as though she had been ambushed, sending a numbing sensation through her entire body.

It was painful as well.

Following which, she felt Fang Zhengzhi’s lips separate from hers. The face that was in such close proximity to her began to distance itself.

“Fang Zhengzhi, you shameless guy. How dare you…” Ping Yang’s chest heaved up and down in rage and embarrassment as she shouted.

Most importantly, Fang Zhengzhi’s actions were too abrupt and sudden. If he were to east Ping Yang into the act, she might not have resisted it so violently.

When a person is depressed and infuriated, he would experience a sudden surge of energy despite being heavily injured.

That was exactly how Ping Yang felt.

She lashed out at Fang Zhengzhi without hesitation and with vigor.

However, at the instant when she opened her mouth, she felt the Demon Pearl in her mouth slide down her throat without any obstructions.

Boom! At the same time, a sound rang in her ears. It was the sound of Fang Zhengzhi landing on the ground.

Two other figures then appeared in her field of vision.

Wu Yuer had a concerned expression on her face. However, she stopped her hand around an inch right in front of Ping Yang’s body.

Naturally, that might be due to another hand blocking her way.

It was the other woman.

Her pristine white hands grabbed Ping Yang’s neck violently. Ping Yang did not have any energy to retaliate, though she did not feel a shred of fear.

She was Ping Yang.

The Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty. She would die with honor. She would never beg for other’s forgiveness and abandon her dignity.

“Spit it out! Spit it out now!” The woman’s voice echoed in Ping Yang’s ears.

It was the first time Ping Yang sensed urgency in the woman’s voice. To think that this woman would also reach this state.

She should be sent by her mother. However, why does this woman want her dead? Was she really not meant to exist, like this woman had mentioned?

That’s right…

If she had died earlier, the Demon Pearl would not have been wasted on her. Fang Zhengzhi would then have a chance at becoming a saint.

With his talent and the help of the Demon Pearl, he stood a chance at becoming a saint in half a year.

Ping Yang stared silently at the rain and felt the warm and soothing sensation from the center of her body.

She knew it was too late.

From the moment she swallowed the Demon Pearl, it was over.

If she was not wrong, she forced a kiss on this shameless guy in the Crown Prince Residence. He was probably just taking revenge.

Although he was simply way too abrupt and violent!

Even if he wanted her to swallow the Demon Pearl, he probably could employ methods that require less skinship.

For example, he could simply pinch her elbow.

As long as he did so with enough force, Ping Yang would scream and swallow the Demon Pearl.

In the end, Fang Zhengzhi was still so shameless. He was trying to take advantage of her all along, in the name of saving her.

Boom!

At that moment, a lightning fell from the sky. More specifically, it was not a pure bolt of lightning, it was the swing of a sword imbued with the power of lightning.

The roar of a dragon could be heard. It boomed with authority and greatness.

The torrential rain continued to fall from the skies.

The Mountain Breaking Army and Yan Cloud Calvary widened their eyes upon this sight. This was because both of them saw the swing of the blade.

They were horrified.

They were not horrified at how strong this strike was. They were bewildered at the target of this attack. It was aimed towards the woman in a dark purple dress right in front of Ping Yang, the woman with the two characters, Ling Yun, in front of her chest.

Fang Zhengzhi…

Fang Zhengzhi was attacking the woman!
