Chapter 76 (1/2)
After an instant, the dust dispersed. A youth wearing a white brocade robe appeared, with an icy glint in his eyes. The sword on his hand impaled itself into the ground, and a layer of ice crystals covered the blade of his sword. Below his feet, there was a humongous crack in the sound.
The strangest thing was.
A portion of skin had been peeled off his face, revealing a crystal-like, faint blue gem on his forehead. Within the gem, there was a faint flow of light, just like an eye.
”I never thought that having hidden within the human world for five years, I have been exposed today!” As the youth spoke, his gaze swept across the crowd below the stage, with a demonic air around him.
”Ah!” As the gaze of the youth swept across the crowd below the stage, the examinees instantly began to cry out.
The expressions of three people at the judging panel also changed suddenly. At this moment, they naturally knew the true ident.i.ty of the youth on the stage, and knew well what the gem on the youth's forehead stood for.
”The demon race!” County Head w.a.n.g's face was a deathly shade of white. He never thought that the demon race would be able to sneak into the Law of Dao examination.
”Surround him, don't let him run away!” After identifying the youth, the middle-aged scholar quickly shouted towards the surrounding guards.
”Audacious demon race, you dare destroy the talents of our human race! Die!” Imperial Messenger Qin looked at the huge gaping hole on the stage and carried a grieved expression on his face.
All these years, the appearance of the demon race in the Law of Dao examination wasn't something that had never happened. Their goal was simple, nip the problem in the bud by eliminating the weak and young talents of the human race, hindering the growth of the human race from its roots.
Except, the appearance of the demon race in the county examination, and even forced to reveal its ident.i.ty, this was indeed rare.
Imperial Messenger Qin clenched his fists and prepared to act.
Right at this moment, a ”snap” sound came from within the crack on the stage. Then, a slender hand reached out from within the crack.
It grabbed onto the legs of the demon youth, whose face was still covered halfway with Li Bowei's human skin.
Faced with the sudden attack, the demon youth, who was already preparing to unleash his killing fury, was completely stunned, and immense shock appeared from within his eyes.
Still alive?
How can he be still alive? And…
Still hiding beneath the ground?!
”Boom!” A loud sound boomed. The demon youth was instantly pulled below the ground by the hand, then, the bloodcurdling sound of bones breaking sounded out from below the ground.
”Snap, snap… bang!”
After a wave of the sound of bones breaking, a figure leapt out gracefully from the crack, then gently landed onto the ground. A coa.r.s.e blue robe danced in the gentle wind…
”Such bad luck, I accidentally tore my s.h.i.+rt, does this count as an industrial injury?” Fang Zhengzhi patted off the mud from his body, then stared at the tear in his robe and sighed deeply.
”...”
Imperial Messenger Qin's lips twitched, but didn't speak. His fist clenched even tighter.
He actually killed a demon?
How did he do that?
Imperial Messenger Qin's heart was filled with doubt. Because, every single demon possessed the power of a human who accessed Dao ever since they were born.
As they grew older, the abilities of a demon would also grow rapidly. From that attack just now, the destruction force of this demon youth was indeed not weak.
How is this possible? Fang Zhengzhi only reached the Divine Seal State, could it be that this demon only reached the Divine Seal State? Or was Fang Zhengzhi's true abilities even stronger than that he showed?
If it was the latter…
When Imperial Messenger Qin thought of this, he instantly rejected this thought. Impossible! A fifteen-year-old youth without a strong family background, and never having studied in a Hall of Dao, being able to reach the Divine Seal State just by self-studying was already the best of talents. How could he reach the state stronger than that of Divine Seal, the Star Conglomerate State?
In the entire Great Xia Dynasty, not even mentioning those below fifteen years old, even the amount of people who managed to reach the Star Conglomerate State below the age of eighteen amounted to no more than a hundred!
