1050 The Gathering of Gods - Dawn of the Ancient Era (2/2)
Bam!
Nangong Mu took a solid punch to his head, and he landed on the ground head first. His face was covered in dirt and there was a fresh bloodstain on the corner of his mouth. It was eye-catching.
The person who hit him was naturally Yan Qing.
Yan Qing was furious.
When he saw Nangong Mu sitting down, he didn't know what went through his mind. He just wanted to wake him up with a good beating.
It was a very strange feeling.
Even Yan Qing himself didn't know what was the purpose of waking Nangong Mu up.
”Hehe…” Nangong Mu laughed.
”Why are you laughing? Mankind is on the verge of defeat, and the entire world is going to be screwed. Great Xia Dynasty, War Pinnacle Empire, and all the other empires will no longer exist!” Yan Qing screamed.
However, Nangong Mu just kept laughing as if he didn't hear him. He was laughing so madly that his body was twitching on the ground.
”Empires? You are still talking about empires at this moment?!” Nangong Mu suddenly became insane after he was done laughing and he pounced towards Yan Qing.
Bam!
However, he dropped onto the ground very quickly after Yan Qing threw a punch at him.
He spat out blood and the expression on his face became a little twisted. The corner of his mouth was covered in blood, but he still wasn't giving up.
It seemed like he wanted to kill Yan Qing.
”Screw off and leave me alone! You have no rights to mind my business!” Nangong Mu kept swung his fists at Yan Qing. The golden radiance in his eyes flickered, but there was no strength in his punches.
Bam!
Yan Qing dropped him to the ground once again.
However, he didn't give up. He kept charging towards Yan Qing.
He stood up and charged towards Yan Qing again and again. Then, he would end up on the ground, before standing up and charging towards Yan Qing once more. It was as if he was crazy.
”Nangong Mu, we are friends!” After the seventh time that he was defeated, Yan Qing suddenly bent down and grabbed Nangong Mu's cloth and exclaimed.
”Friends?!” Nangong Mu trembled. He looked at Yan Qing with an extremely weird and complicated expression on his face, but soon, he laughed and said, ”Do you think that YOU are worthy? How could you call yourself my friend? How can you help me? There is nothing you could do for me as a friend!”
”That's right, I can't help you. However, I've considered you to be one of my few friends ever since I fought against you in Heaven Dao Pavilion!” Yan Qing shouted angrily at Nangong Mu.
”Don't be naive. I, Nangong Mu, don't need any friends! Fang Zhengzhi has deceived me, and you want to deceive me too. It's not happening, I'd never fall for it again!” Nangong Mu also yelled furiously.
”Fang Zhengzhi didn't deceive you!”
”He did!”
”He was helping you. He has been helping you all along. Furthermore, he didn't want to kill you even though you betrayed mankind. He never did!”
”Is that right? Didn't that dragon save me?”
”Did you really think that senior Xuanyuan Five could save you by himself? If Fang Zhengzhi wanted to kill you, you'd have already been dead!”
”…” Nangong Mu fell silent.
He didn't laugh this time because he knew that Yan Qing was speaking the truth. If Fang Zhengzhi really wanted to kill him, he naturally had many ways to do it.
He knew Fang Zhengzhi's personality well.
He didn't like to take lives unnecessarily.
However, he would be extremely decisive if he really wanted to kill someone.
For example, Fang Zhengzhi slaughtered five Sages consecutively underneath Heaven Dao Pavilion's mountain. Another example would be how he had killed several Gods just now.
”Yan Qing, what exactly are you saying to say? If you want me to save the Human Alliance, let me tell you that it'd only happen in your dreams. It's not possible. It will never happen!” Nangong Mu stared at Yan Qing.
”Do you really have an idea?” Yan Qing's eyes lit up.
”No!”
”No, you do. You're Nangong Mu, a descendant of Emperor Yan. Since you know about the ancient era, you must have an idea, right?” Yan Qing questioned him.
”You're wrong. I know nothing apart from my mission.” Nangong Mu shook his head.
”It seems like I'm mistaken… However, I'd still treat you as a friend even if you don't know anything else and even if you don't treat me as your friend.” Yan Qing shook his head and let go of Nangong Mu's collar.
”Hehe, that's funny!” Nangong Mu patted his cloth, looked towards the countless massive figures in the near distance and uttered, ”The twelve ancient warlocks, as well as the warriors of Chi You's Race, together with the four ancient beasts and other ancient Godly Beasts like Bai Ze and Bi Fang. Mankind… Is fated to be doomed!” ”
”You're right.” Yan Qing nodded. Then, he walked towards the battlefield with extreme determination.
”Where are you going?” Nangong Mu asked intuitively.
”I'm going to kill them!”
”By yourself?”
”Yeah, by myself.”
”You're just courting death!”
”What's so scary about dying? At the very least, I did what I could for mankind. Even if I die, I'd die without any regrets!” After Yan Qing said that, he rushed towards the most powerful Demons, the twelve warlocks. Moreover, he was targeting Hong You.
This definitely surprised the disciples of the Human Alliance.
Similarly, Hong You, who was standing amidst a group of Chi You's warriors, was also a little astonished. After all, he really didn't expect a feeble human to challenge him.
”Hmm?” Hong You smiled faintly when he saw the person rushing towards him. Then, he slowly raised his right hand.
Crack!
Hong You caught Yan Qing just like that.
It felt like Yan Qing was pulled away by an extremely powerful suction force. He ended up in Hong You's hand instantly.
”Yan Qing!” Nangong Mu yelled.
For some reason, he didn't want Yan Qing to die. It might be because he once fought against Yan Qing, or it might be because there were too many similarities between the two of them.
Untalkative.
Bad at interacting.
Few friends throughout the entire life.
Lonely, yet appearing to be extremely strong.
However, who really knew how much they desired friends, care, love from their parents, and everything warm in this world, underneath their strong appearances.
Yan Qing…
Was a monster that grew up in the woods.
Nangong Mu…
Was ignored by his family and born to shoulder his family's mission.
Their fates were too similar and their personalities had too much in common. All of that led to the reluctance in Nangong Mu's heart.
If Yan Qing really died.
Who else in this world could understand his inner self?
”You didn't even die from this? Your physique is pretty good.” Hong You pinched Yan Qing's neck and allowed him to struggle in his hands. His smile grew colder and he said, ”It seems like you have inherited a tiny portion of our bloodline of Chi You. Hmm… If you pledge your loyalty to me, I could consider letting you off. What do you say?”
”In… In your dreams!” Yan Qing's face was bright red. He found it hard to breathe due to Hong You's might. His body's power seemed to have been completely restrained, and he couldn't move a single muscle.
'Is this the power of the twelve ancient warlocks?'
'They are really so strong!'
